palestinian health officials things asked to later when the u.s. relocated its embassy to jerusalem and held an opening ceremony earlier this week on monday forty thousand people took to the streets and demonstrating against the relocation of the u.s. embassy as a result at least sixty people were killed marking the latest incident in a series of protests along the border between the gaza strip and israel although israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu praised the u.s. embassy move there rabba league and the french government both condemned it calling it a legal and a violation of the united nations security council resolutions surrounding the conflict the us isn't the only country with an embassy and jerusalem today guatemala followed in the u.s. its footsteps opening a new embassy there as well other countries have expressed interest in relocating their embassies to jerusalem however it's still unclear whether they will actually follow through for more on this story and what that means for media's coverage may

have messed up we are joined today by all there and journalist max blumenthal thank you so much for days max now at least as i said earlier sixty people there were killed in protests on monday and human rights groups are saying that just because protestors were approaching crossing or damaging the fence on the gaza israeli border does not amount to life lost or serious injuries so much do you think israel was out of wind and use excessive force here you know i think we really have to consider the feelings from the israeli perspective of that sense i mean the poor electrified sense of the poor. militarized walls that actually are perched with machine guns remote controlled machine guns you know that's really what we're hearing from the likes of the washington post editorial board which referred to those fifty eight people who were killed shot by snipers with lades laser range finders from long range at some points as nominal civilians nominal civilians not
4:03 pm
even civilians so of course israel used excessive force but what i want to do is kind of interrogate the context behind these killings ok israel decided they made a calculated decision that they could not hold back this mass of protesters with tear gas alone or with rubber bullets and these are the kind of methods i've seen on display in the west bank there is too many people and they're going to have to kill some of them and israeli official yesterday actually said that they don't have enough room in jail cells for them so they're just going after you know kill a few actually said that. and the reason behind this is the logic of seeds and occupation and the logic the internal logic of a jewish state now the people in the gaza strip most of them about seventy to eighty percent are refugees if they come back to israel what is now israel what used to be their land where their homes are and they start reuniting with family
4:04 pm
members and they start coming together with people from the west bank and people in jerusalem and they're no longer in this warehouse this human warehouse there's no more jewish state because the jewish state is predicated on a jewish demographic majority it's as if the us had declared itself a white christian nation and had to shoot mexicans coming in because they're not white that's israel's logic here and that's why we see not just excessive force but what israel's doing is actually defending ethnic borders that really calls into question israel's claim to be jewish and democratic let's talk about the u.s. and guatemala both moving to bear and. these tend to raise alarm and other countries are in talks about doing the same can you tell us why you believe this is a bad move and what could come as a result of this it's amazing the us managed to get guatemala one country to join it call it the coalition of the billing i mean quantum all is just basically been
4:05 pm
owned by the us ever since the us removed your cobol arbenz in one thousand nine hundred fifty four in a cia who had the dictator rios montt carrying out reagan's wishes and kenneth committing genocide against the mayans in the eighty's and guatemala as economy basically subsists on u.s. aid and remittances from immigrants or in the u.s. so it basically does whatever the u.s. wants the rest of the world not totally on board with the u.s. moving its embassy to jerusalem what the u.s. has done is consolidate the israeli colonization of jerusalem but more importantly i think you look at like richard haass who's the head of the council on foreign relations here in the u.s. the premier face of the foreign policy establishment condemning trump's decision to move the embassy why is he doing that it's because what the u.s. has done under trump and this decision was paid for by right wing pro israel billionaires is blow up the peace process blow up the two state solution forever and remove the u.s. as a broker which means that u.s.
4:06 pm
empire has less influence than israel palestine that's why richard haass is condemning the decision so there's also this interesting this people on twitter publicly but obviously it's no no the issue of turkey and israel because turkey expelled is really at ambassador and the consul general heightening tensions to a place we really haven't seen since maybe two thousand and twelve between the two countries even though they've cooperated for the last six years on syria they've had a very mutual agenda. and yet now the tensions are being why is turkey doing this and what could this mean for the region if turkey and israel are hostile to each other now that's a that's a great point. and we don't know where. this is going to go but you can go on twitter right now and look at. him his put her account in benjamin netanyahu twitter account and they're in a flame war they're actually trolling each other on twitter no one's got more be tweets right now the netanyahu or go on is definitely doing this for domestic consumption he's trying to pose as the leader of the month the islamic world he's
4:07 pm
trying to show that he's as the true supporter of the palestinians and netanyahu is catering to his domestic base they hate they generally hate muslims so you have the flame war in public what's going on in private is entirely different remember there was a massacre of the turkish aid boat the mavi marmara by israeli commandos in two thousand and ten then six years later erdogan goes ahead and normalize relations with israel they commence military cooperation as you said they're working together in syria but now something different is happening in syria and that's where i'd look turkey has consolidated its position in northern syria it's working with iran and russia through the sochi a stand up process yes down a process there the real peace process and israel's trying to interrupt the peace process because it wants syria to be perpetually at war so this could actually lead to serious friction between turkey and israel which means friction between turkey and nato and the us and further withdrawal of u.s. influence in the middle east and then in terms of the overall middle east game you
4:08 pm
mentioned earlier you said you're saying that it's basically israeli it's a pro israeli billionaires that are pushing this agenda as far as why trump is relocating the embassy to jerusalem mean you don't see it maybe like it's a biblical some biblical aspect motivating it is it purely money and neo con influence there are two factors at play and you name to both number one the neo con influence sheldon adelson the casino billionaire bernard marcus the founder of home depot and paul singer a vulture capitalist who tanked argentina's economy these are the three figures who contribute the most to the groups in washington they contributed forty million to pro trump super pacs and twenty. sixteen sheldon adelson was part of the delegation in jerusalem so there's the likud make money then there's the biblical prophesy christian right characters robert jeffress gave the invocation at the opening of the embassy robert jefferson is someone who said jews mormons and muslims are going to hell. then pastor john hague gave the closing benediction john hagy cornerstone
4:09 pm
church in san antonio the biggest christian zionist figure in america has said that hitler is half jewish and that the anti christ is a half breed jew this is the figure that was brought to give the cot the invocation and the benediction in jerusalem alongside jared cushion or the orthodox jewish presidential son in law amazing right what trumps catering to two bases here is catering to his donor base and his main street main constituency in the bible belt the christian right and that's what this is about and it's going to have devastating consequences on the ground to speak it is that you received who was over the last few months he's been the israeli police have recommended that he be indicted for corruption charges he's been embattled all year you don't hear about it very much yeah do you think that the political landscape of israel is going to be changing this year because of potential watergate type of moment and is the situation with you know that the escalation of conflict and in the with palestine apart
4:10 pm
a part of that political internal political process in israel yeah i mean everyone watching this to watch pills documentary crime minister on netanyahu is corruption scandals and you know she went to israel and showed how all the all the top police officials were calling for netanyahu is indictments there were protests in tel aviv major protests every week across israel calling for his imprisonment then suddenly you have him exchanging rockets with syria and iran deal is destroyed by trump which was a major part of netanyahu is agenda and now the embassy's move to jerusalem and he's taken all of the talk about corruption and his his own criminality according to the israeli police completely. off the table and that is another major achievement for netanyahu i don't know if we're going to be seeing a watergate moment here that we have about a minute now but we could talk but you're saying you really think the can be able to consolidate his power and make it to the next election he's create he's completely controlled the israeli press he's basically working with one of the top
4:11 pm
billionaires who runs the major tabloid in israel i know that. he does go to trial will be extremely dramatic and if he is not. found guilty if he is not found guilty the people who put him on trial including the attorney general who has high hopes to be the head of the israeli supreme court were gone the israeli supreme court their careers will be destroyed and netanyahu will go down as the hero of his right wing base what is the public support like for his public support is not widespread but he has the most powerful constituency of anything in israel and they're the most rabid constituency that any prime minister in israel has ever commanded frightening stuff next thank you so much for joining us thanks for having me really appreciate your time appreciate it thank you. very much ahead of its time roman legend mark is tuli as cicerone watson exco lamed one another. and how much like us well cicero may have certainly been on to something when it comes to

genetic evolution but even so one thing at least by a mile just how clean the ugly apes are compared to mankind you see the new study by north carolina state university found that our chimpanzee cousins are not only genetically similar to us but superior and one pretty shocking sense personal hygiene the primates far less lazing than their cousins apparently have a habit of making their beds every single day what the founding outcome that their homes contain far less fecal an oral back than ours and definitely alaskan that of an average dorm brahmbhatt so take that. that's the road and not only are they not ugly but they're cleaner till i make my bed the morning don't you i do you know you're there they tell you to really make your bed in the morning this is like a public service announcement make your bed the morning because it sets the mortality in the mentality for the day people who make their bed the morning they tend to be a little more proactive less healthier more and octave like you said i didn't start
