at the end of the day, if it's about humanities, it doesn't matter what you believe and it doesn't matter what you look like. it doesn't matter where you're frank. and let's get more of this story from the, the fault of william go across. we just based on what they saw in is report there, talk to us a bit about what the relations between jewish and pasting and communities have traditionally been like in the united states. and if the most that attacks have changed in any significant way. and i think what we heard from you is report, there is a very good understanding that these groups, like all groups are not model. that's right. and you have a variety of political opinions. you have a variety of demographics that are in forming those opinions. and we hear that, you know, you have in all groups you have, you know, nationalists who are happy to lean into these kinds of fears and, and hatred and anger towards other groups. and then you also have seen,
4:46 pm
especially in last reason we groups calling for peace groups calling for co existence groups calling for the end the war groups looking to sit, you know, to sympathize with the other. i think if there are 2 broad things that, that jews and palestinians in the united states specifically do have in common is one, they're both. they ask for rich groups, right. they're both groups that are largely, you know, a diaspora. the palestinians, of course, standing from the next $48.00 founding of israel, and the displacement that happened as a result. and you is going back, you know, basically the entire history of the jewish people. you can look at the inquisition, you can look at, of course, in more modern times, the holocaust pushing and spreading and forcing people all around the world. and that means that in addition to the geo political and geostrategic importance of the region, when things like this in israel and with the policy, it's happened. you also have very personal connection to this region. due to that, i asked for a situation in that causes, as we've seen in this report, you know, anger seer, worries to be to run very, very hot. nonetheless,
4:47 pm
what we saw on october 7 isn't anything particularly new in terms of relations. but when these things happen, when these awful incidents of violence of terrorism of war happens, what we see is, of course, these sorts of issues coming more to the 4, they're always there. but in these moments of crisis, they're just that much more present. and you also have president biden, having said that the us stands with is rarely, in addition to sending ministry support to is around how by listing in the wider out of the communities in the us. interpreting that support in the us is always in a tricky situation. when it comes to israel in particular, right, i want to have the us as an iron clad commitments to israel, to defend the state of visual, to defend the existence of israel and to its defense right. against the many threats that israel se system has faced over the years, but at the same time, of course, the arab world cannot be ignored. the other side of things cannot be ignored. the
4:48 pm
united states has security interest as economic interest in parts of the world. but see things very differently. and so you do have this very difficult balancing act that the united states over successive governments, regardless of who's president, regardless of what party is in power, to show its commitment to israel while the same time, at least trying to appear what they liked to call themselves as a neutral broker, of course, that's question both the united states really can be a neutral broker when you're such a large and influential superpower in the world. and you have your own interest that you are trying to protect. but nonetheless, we've seen this since the attacks with the us, while giving israel quite a bit of latitude to defend itself in the way it sees fit at the same time raining it in, by reminding it of its commitments to international law. and it actually is, as we've been hearing from reports, you know, a lot of collaboration and quote, communication between israeli and united states military establishments to sort of
4:49 pm
shape and guide exactly how israel's military response and gaza is going to go out . so we see the united states trying to walk that fine line. and also in, for example, the hostage is working with car for example, to try to get some of at least the american positive. so this is, this is that the delicate political balance at the us always spaces and these kinds of moments. and it's particularly that a military role that i'd like to discuss with you further when you're just like to stay on the line because we just need to 1st look at what the us has recently said on this particular aspect. because speaking to the program, 60 minutes on us new outlet, cbs vice president cumberland, hardy, said, and i quote, we have absolutely no intention, nor do we have any plans to send to come back to troops into is around, oh, gods, a period. so we have, we also looked at security issues for data and we just don't go separate above the united states sees as it's really pre roll in the cut into conflict pricing that quote, for pamela harris. combat troops is the important term here. the us, of course,
4:50 pm
has a presence in many parts of the world. uh, it just depends how you define presence, right? maybe not in a combat role, but certainly in training, in support for it's many weapon systems itself. and you see that it is where it was . well, there is some american presence in israel, just given the sheer amount of american weaponry and equipment in israel tickets sold and given to israel every year. you do have american supports for that, and we have seen it, especially since how mazda is attacks. we see increased coordination and collaboration, at least from the reporting. we're hearing what the defense department, united states is saying between israel and the united states. but campbell harris does make the point. there will be no boots on the ground as they say, just like we've heard a new crane rights full support for ukraine, just like full support for israel, but no direct intervention. nonetheless, the us of course, maintains a massive military presence all around the world, especially in the middle east to defend what it sees as its interest, especially visa b. a b, ron, right. we saw those strikes in syria against targets from the ronnie and back
4:51 pm
groups. this was, as they said, in response to a tax against us personnel in rock. so it's a very delicate balance to, as the, as, as the white house is said, deterrence without exacerbating or widening the conflict between them to be, as instance, has also show that the us is itself target, permitted in proxies. and if so, is that a danger, for instance, of the us enters into a direct conflict with it on right. the danger is always there and of course the united states has a long history of some very bloody attacks and everything about 11 on, for example, the 1980s, the, the us personnel that, that came under attack there. so the us is certainly not, no stranger to being directly attacked by iran proxies and by other uh, you know, opponents in the regents of the united states. right now what we're seeing is,
4:52 pm
as i said, united states wants to defend its interest, wants to set a send a message to a, to the ron and to it's affiliated groups around the region. not to get involved, not to escalate. but at the same time, the us doesn't want to escalate itself. i think the us at the last thing wants to do, especially, was trying to re negotiate a nuclear deal with the wrong is to have yet another major war in the middle east forever. jo biding by getting out of afghanistan wants to get away from this whole region. he wants to focus on china and russia and not get bogged down in the middle east as united states did for the 20 years after 911 with very little positive effect. and just devastating consequences for the region and real, no real security games for the united states. and i think that's what the by the administration is looking at trying to look at that recent history and not go down that road again. well, the same time b as the united states needs to decide it's interest. still showing that it is, it has the assets to do so without further attacking ation,
4:53 pm
antagonist ation. but the question is also, how far will the us actually go when it comes to supporting ease of alameda telling me, i mean, what does that consist of that support? the right is the us already sends the most amount of for an aide, and most of it is military age to his role than any other country in the world. it has now since the existence of israel headset the billions and billions and billions of dollars worth of mostly military israel. so that's that partnership that support for israel, especially as defense, is already there. we've already seen um you know, promises and actually deliveries of new munitions, especially when it comes to the iron. don't the iron down which is where it was famous for this missile defense isn't this highly effective against homos rocket attacks is actually a us weapon system, right. this was developed by racy on by lockheed martin major american military contractors. and so there's been promises to send more to israel, but we have to remember the us is also trying to supply ukraine's trying to supply taiwan. and we are officially any weights, any piece, time production situation,
4:54 pm
right? we are, we're not like a world war 2 situation where the entire economy has been turned over to producing to fight a war. so there are supply chain issues, right? just the ukraine alone, the united states and its european allies have had trouble getting the weapons and the ammunition that ukraine is asked for and has been promised to actually get into the field. so whether they can be better or faster, they're just certain, some just certain physical constraints that the united states spaces in now keeping of its renewed commitments to israel, whether it's a missiles, missile defense and other kinds of major weapon systems that israel has asked for, or may ask for especially ammunition for its airplanes, because this has primarily been an air war less thus far. when we've also heard in the past few weeks talk of a mazda the front was that each man could be facing. and depending on whom you speak to the front or the expand or frame, but in any case,
4:55 pm
the remain locked in front. some people talk about has been law in addition to the west bank, and then he's been facing internal security threats. i mean, the question that i was basically sort of arriving at is, depending on how is it around the phase in the fair i was in a potential multi front pool. is that a possibility that the us has to actually put boots on the ground that actually fight for israel? so this is a big question. diversity or radical question. for now at least of course, israel's existence is not in question hum. austin has beloved while they can strike very very, what very heinous means is relative. they of course, do not threaten the very existence of israel. nonetheless, that question is a valid one because it's something that a country like united states space is what does it really mean when we say we, we stand up for israel's defense? we stand up for its existence. we will make sure that it continues to exist. what does that really mean we,
4:56 pm
we see that not only in the case of israel see the case of us commitments to taiwan us, commitments, ukraine, how far will the united states really go to make to you, to, to, to, to back it's words with deeds that is something we're very far from israel does have experience with fighting multi front doors. we saw that in 1967 we saw the 1973 in 1973, which was the greatest threats to is rarely to israel's continued existence. as a state of the united states did get very close to actually not maybe 20 boots on the ground, but, but very, very intense military support for israel in those 1st days of the surprise attack against israel on multiple friends when he's real, really was facing quite an x, a central crisis, that is not what we're facing right now, but the point remains what if the northern front from left but not from his blood becomes active. what if the rod does want to escalate at visa versus that israel faces? and i think a major headache for the united states, which as i said earlier, has many competing interests in the region. and well, these role might be
4:57 pm
a 1st among equals, it is not the only interest by far, not the only interest in the region. we're living there for the timing, but thanks very much with him for bringing all that context to us. we didn't blue cross. thank you to and that's it. so now this continuing updates on these rel, i'm also on our website. i'm going to strategy in relating to thanks so much for watching the
