14th, april 19th, that is not escalation dominance, i'm sorry, that is not escalation dominance, and further more, they needed the americans. you all understand, i'm just sort of diverting from the pathamon for one second, if you look at what's happening in gaza, the israelis could never conduct that operation in gaza without american support, not even close, and all sorts of israeli generals say that in the israeli. press they cannot by themselves produce the weaponry to conduct the operations they're now conducting in gaza, they need us and what i'm telling you about what happened on april 14th is they needed us, you hear all this talk about iron dome and their ability to shoot down missiles, they cannot do it alone, iron dome is not that not that formidable defensive system and further more given cost exchange ratios and number of missiles that the

iranians and hazballah have iron dome over the long term in a fight is just not very useful, so from deterrance point of view, the israelis are in real trouble, so my first point is they're in real trouble because they're stuck in gaza and they have no solution to the problem, and number two, their deterrance has been badly weakened. number three is very important understand the coming of all these missiles and the coming of drones, it's now possible for actors like khamas, the hoothies and hezbalah and iran to develop the capability, to develop the capability to hit israel and cause enormous amounts of damage, and lots of people who live in israel are not very comfortable with this situation, right? the idea that they are exposed to adversar. and these are formidable

adversaries. i don't want to make light of the fact that that groups like hezballah and groups like kamas would like to finish israel off, they would. these are these are really tough ombres, and what's happened here is that with the passage of time, right, missile capabilities and drone capabilities have reached the point where it's quite easy for actors like that to employ those weapons to create a real threat for israel. fourth way in which israel is in trouble is that it is effectively become a parius state uh in ways that it never was in the past uh if you look at what's happening in the united states and all across the world on university campuses and college campuses this is just evidence whether you think what's going on is right or wrong that israel's reputation has been badly tarnished. just if you think about the fact

that uh south africa took israel before the international court of justice and the international court of justice found, not not that israel is committing genocide, they didn't find that, that is yet to be determined, but what the international court of justice did find is that there is sufficient evidence, this enough evidence to... think that israel might be committing genocide, and if you look at pols inside the united states, it's truly remarkable how many people, especially democrats, believe that israel is engaged in genocide. there's a recent poll that shows that 56% of all democrats think that israel is committing genocide. think about that, 56% of americans... hold think that israel is

committing genocide. uh, there's another poll that shows talks about biden voters, that shows that 57% think israel is committing genocide, 27% are not sure. 57% think israel is committing genocide, 27% are not sure, and in 15% do not believe israel is committing genocide. this is quite remarkable, when i think about how i thought about israel and virtually everybody i knew thought about israel when i was young boy and i was young man, and how virtually everybody i know now thinks about israel, a fundamental transformation has taken place, it's really quite remarkable, and the idea that the jewish state is being accused of genocide, it's really quite remarkable, this is a sign

of big trouble, and the use of the apartide label is used increasingly, and this is not going to change, because the situation in gaza is not going to get any better, that was one of the points i'm trying. trying to get through to you, there is no solution on the horizon here, if anybody asked me in the question answer period, what would i do to fix this problem, i can tell you what the answer is now, i have no idea, be very clear on this, categorically depressing, but anyway, i think that from israel's point of view, what's happened to its reputation is disastrous and i don't think it's going to get any better over time, so this is why these four reasons. uh, number one, the fact the're stuck in gaza once more, number two, the fact that the deterrance has been weakened because they don't have escalation dominance, number three, the fact that they're surrounded by adversaries who load them, would like to destroy them, and who

have uh increasing numbers of missiles and drones that can cause them lots of trouble is bad news and number four, the paraya state, argument, now let me conclude by talking briefly about the united states and talking about iran. the united states is also a big loser here. uh, first of all, it's in our interest to have peace in the middle east. first of all, we've been fighting so many wars, the american public is just sick of all these wars. the last thing we want are more wars in the middle east, oh my god, a war against iran. this is the last thing people want, right? we want peace. furthermore, we need a peaceful middle east so we can pivot to east asia, right? from the american point of view, the most serious threat on the planet is china. the united states has to contain china, we have to pivot to asia. we can't pivot to asia, because we're pin down in ukraine and now we're pin down in the

middle east. this is not good. we want for sure to settle this one, right, to have a... situation like the one that existed before october 7th, remember jake sullivan said few weeks before october 7th, we haven't seen the middle east this peaceful for a long time, and he was very happy about that, and it made perfect sense from an american point of view, but that went away very quickly on october 7th, so we want peace. second point is, we also care greatly about having friendly relations. with as many states in the middle east as possible, why is that the case? the russians are already there, number one, and two, the chinese are beginning to move in. for all the older dogs, noticed their number of older dogs in the audience, we all

remember back in the day, right, when the us and the soviet union competed in the middle east, well what? going to see moving forward is not just the united states and russia, but the united states, russia and china competing in the middle east. the chinese are building a blue water navy to project power into the gulf, number one, number two, they depend heavily on oil, and therefore they're doing everything they can to have good relations with iran, good relations with saudi arabia, and we are very worried about this. the united states doesn't want. bad relations with countries in the middle east that drive them into the arms of the chinese and the russians, and you see lot of that happening, by the way, you all know about the abraham accords, the abraham accords were was where the united states was recently trying to get

israel, saudi arabia and the united states all together in a sort of quasi alliance, this is all gone by the boards now because of what's happening in gaza, right? this is... not in our interest, it's certainly not in israel's interest and it's certainly not in saudi's interest at all either, so you see the problem that we have here, just say few words in conclusion, tom about iran, as i said to you before, i think iran is the winner, i think america is the loser, i think israel is the biggest loser, uh, but i think that the iranians are the winners uh so far, on balance i think they've done quite well for themselves. "first of all, they have been able, except for april 14th, to remain on the sidelines. another point that you want to keep in mind is that iran, as a result of all this, now has very close relations with russia and china. what we're doing, what the

united states is doing, is we're driving the iranians, the russians, the chinese and the north koreans together, right, and this makes it..." harder for us to isolate iran, and if iran starts to go down the nuclear road, nuclear weapons road, and we want to put pressure on the iranians, it's not clear the chinese and the russians are going to help us. "we need the chinese and the russians to help us, but anyway, the iranians feel like they're in quite a good situation, because the united states and the israelis have not been able to do anything to really harm them, in fact iran got away with wacking israel, this is the first time that iran has ever been able to launch missiles and drones from its own territory, hit israel and israel barely retaliated. iranians are probably feeling good about that. they should, and then the final point is the sanctions against

iran are not working the way they once were, they have weakened, so if you look overall at what's happened to the iranians and what's happening to the americans and especially what's happening to the israelis, you see that the situation after october 7th is fundamentally different than the situation before. october 7th, just in the case of the israelis, before october 7th, it looked like they were in the catbird seat, they were managing very well in their own opinion, the situation in gaza, and by the way, i want to be clear here, i thought they were doing an excellent job of managing the problem in gaza, i thought they had things under control, i was shocked by what happened on october 7th, but once october 7th happened, and as we've watched these two conflict. play themselves out, one the war in gaza, and how

that's linked to, you don't want to forget, and then to the iran, israel, united states exchange between april 1st and april 19. it's quite clear that the world has changed in ways that are not good for either israel or the united states. thank you. iran: the world holds its breath, when will iran act? what will its allies do, and what will the israeli state respond? with and will the americans join the war, and if the americans join the war, what will russia and

china do about that? in other words, dear viewers, are we on the brink of not just a regional war, but world war three, have it out with galloway, why don't you?
