middle east in its reporting do you think how this. oh i think it has totally betrayed democracy because there's a political reality to be face. no american president. only an american president masses every american president has the leverage to require israel to be serious about peace. he's never going to use that leverage. unless he because of the control of the zionist lobby in congress he's never going to use the leverage even if he wants to until he is pushed to do so by informed public opinion one might say by demonstrations of real democracy in action the problem in america and frankly in europe could most of all america is the most serious as in two hundred informed misinformed to do the pushing and that is frankly because the media has been complicit. with zionism in suppressing the truth

of history as it relates to the making and sustaining of the conflict so i think it's very simple i was about to present what about these these these demonstrations and conflicts that we're seeing in the middle east at the moment what's your view of how the media is cope with that i think generally speaking the coverage is for you know k. . but. the whole thing is exciting but also frightening to me because i think the message that all the autocrats of go from mubarak's departure. is if people take to the streets and start demonstrating shoot them i mean that's what seems to be happening but i think the key frankly is in egypt and i tell you why. i think that they probably will evolve to an elected government because the pressure of the generals may not like it but the pressure is there so let's assume down the road nine months ten months there is an elected

government you then have the fascinating problem of the separate piece from. the how the hell does the new government handle that. there is a way in which they could do it very cleverly and maybe change everything in the middle east. if the new government said we would have a referendum on this treaty if there was a referendum my guess is that eighty percent of egyptians would say tear it up we don't want it it hasn't served our interest it hasn't served the arab interests and certainly real interest is right. now with that kind of reference and you go higher and say to america and heard our people speak you say you like to mock rosicky you don't want this treaty but we'll have the treaty would keep it if you use your leverage on israel to get them out of the occupied territories or what a fascinating scenario that would provide ok let's take it back a bit and let's talk a bit about syria because that's the current country that's that's entering into

this whole process of amazement and europe and the us if we in straits it calls for un sanctions but it's a country that you know the international pressure for a long time over its ties to iran and its support has alarmed him asked how serious do you think the stress of sanctions. maybe it is serious so what. i don't thing. is in control. i think our side is probably more or less a prisoner of his generals in the security service since he gave the world the impression. when he came to work ten eleven years ago that he was really not like his father it was a time he was going to be a reformer i suspect that probably was the genuine son of the father but i think right you know he's probably as i say a person they're just going to shoot and shoot and shoot and rather like the israelis don't give a damn. about what the world seems i don't think serious security forces will. some

say this call for sanctions is the first step towards a no fly zone and we all day what happens from that do you think that the west could use the libyans as a sort of excuse for intervening in syria. where the libyan scenario to me. is known seems i mean what if we go to the very brink we've got to stand up so i think most people have made a mistake of god gadhafi it was written off in the media in the newspapers and television is mad i think that's a complete misreading of the man i think he's evil but not mad i think he set up his whole security operation sperry cleverly over the years he knows exactly what he's doing so i don't think that sends any kind of message except don't get involved in the way that the french and the british have don't get involved unless you're prepared to go the whole hog the whole hog frankly would be targeting and killing him. so i don't see what lessons the libya holds for dealing

with syria of course we have less than about the nato allies i think popular opinion suggests that nato is is to fight it and its goal of protecting the civilians in libya is really the scene anymore is nature in any case capable of leading another action no i don't think it is i mean everybody is terrified of what happened in iraq because most people know that was illegal. but the problem is you know even if nato. put its act together and say wrote we must deal with these tyrants who has really put sanctions on them and this was followed up with military action boots on the ground it wouldn't get through the security council china would be to it i'm sure russia would be too she what people don't understand about the united nations it's not a self standing institution it is the sum total of the hypocrisy of the member states. and then this you can actually have

a total consensus working through the un actually becomes impossible syria has a good relationship with iran. it's about the courtroom no if that's what you expect to react. i think tehran will be very worried about what's going on. because as i understand the situation in tehran the present regime probably only has the support of thirty percent or so of the people so i think it's it's it's got to think very deeply about how it responds to. cut the ties between the regime in damascus and the regime in tehran yes of very strong but i also think has been. has a vested interest in what's going on here i mean i'm not one of those who writes his ball off as a as a terrorist group i think shake. his brother's leader is head and shoulders above

all other arab leaders in the region i think he's a real leader and i think. has evolved into a truly democratic party so i don't think it will want any boats rocked. but if syria were to fall you know i think you'll really see me what what would happen well i don't think syria will fall to the extent that i can't see a scenario in which syrian security doesn't remain in control. and what the world doesn't know about syria is that. for many years under this present president's father. it's actually cooperated with israel. it was actually a time and israeli problem in the sixty seven war i told the full story of this in my book there was a secret understanding between syria and israel before the sixty seven war so syria plays its cards very very to survive in this region it's not too early to watch of

the regime there in my view what about the regime in iran some are saying that the entire point of this the entire goal the stars the western powers are concerned is to isolate iran and thereby force the regime change do you agree with that though i do the more the outside pressure comes on iran the more i think it is going to unite the people of iran you see there is this ridiculous story that iran wants to develop nuclear weapons there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the regime wants to develop nuclear weapons i mean they categorically say no i can see that the revolutionary guards may be same look we must develop them for forty terence but the nonsense of it comes down to this supposing you get a few nuclear weapons and you think it would launch a first strike on israel of course it wouldn't because iran would be obliterated

this is just a bluff and it serves israel's purpose because it takes the world's attention away from what israel is doing which is talking peace and continue to expand the settlements in israel must be actually its leaders must be very happy with what's going on in the arab world actually because again it's taken all the focus away from israel and it gets on the building more and more settlements like. it almost almost how possible to think it is that. in the wake of all these revolutions in the middle east islamists will come to power in the region. with its terrifying thing if we stand back and look how it through tunis here through egypt. the what we might call the extremists or the fundamentalist muslims they weren't in the game it was basically very ordinary people of all classes and all backgrounds you know if the suppression goes on and on what that will do is eventually open the

door to the extremists so in my view the west should now be solidly behind the street as it were to bring about the reforms of the changes they want because that is the way to guarantee that the fundamentalists won't have the oxygen if you like to come into the business you see huge issue that. was about israel in all of this will it be less safe place in the future if you think israel has never been an unsafe place one of the greatest love of the mother and father of all lies as it relates to the israeli palestine conflict is that israel has been in danger of annihilation i detail in the three volumes of my book it is a complete lie israel's existence has never ever been danger from any combination of arab military force and that is unlikely to change in any
