hamilton, ontario, and rick sterling, investigative journalist out of walnut creek, california. thank you both for being with me. well, ken, let's start off with you. why do you think that the israeli regime didn't re? knew the truce uh, the israeli regime was opposed to the truce in the first place, i believe it was forced into having a truce, first of all, because uh, the united states was putting great pressure on it to have a truth, uh, because the populations around the world were rising up spontaneously in the streets and demonstrating and calling on their governments to... uh pressure israel for a ceasefire, and um, i think that the us wanted the uh, you the uh hamas to have a cease fire, but they uh did not use the pressures that they could have to make sure sure that the seas fire was permanent and was a uh was a permanent military seasfire le leading to uh, a long-lasting... permanent and just comprehensive deal for israeltine, and as a result, the genocide is continuing today, and israelis are the israeli population has uh is on the side of israel's government, recent

area by skype and here in the studio with me and of course you're watching gaza under attack um rick sterling, i'm sure you watch and read different media on both sides of the two very different narratives of the israel palestine conflict, you mentioned the support for the israeli regime plummeting, despite the murdok empire, facebook exam mosk traveling to kabutes recently, um them backing israel, but still more people than ever seem to have started calling into question the israel narrative, is that how you see it? too, can you expand on that? yeah, absolutely, the establishment and in the united states are still very much supportive of of israel, but they are getting worried because the public perception of israel has changed dramatically, in the last days i would say, after october 7 there was no poring of support for for israel, actually, ever since um israeled the you and has continued this bombing with all of the civilians as... with with thousands and thousands of children being killed. this has changed the perception and think i think it's really threatening um to the establishment a

, and we see lot of yes, as you say, shrouded bodies piling up in hospitals and elsewhere. um, rick sterling, what do you think when you look at these images coming out of the gaza strip, what goes through your mind? well, obviously this is epic and and we can contrast the situation with the 19th. 67 six-day war where israel basically defeated the uh the armies of egypt, jordan and syria with the surprise attack, this was acclaimed by by them and and did a a tremendous amount to boost support for israel among the uh american jewish community, among others and of course the uh the us government uh contrast that with the 60-day war against hamas, a basically uh a mass movement that's armed with guns and homemade rockets and they have, they have not succeeded yet, hamas is, in some ways they're inflicting lot of losses on on the idf, yeah, and and meanwhile the world support for israel is plummeting, so i think this is going to be a strategic strategic failure as loy dostin was indibating the other day, yeah, the exactly uh... lord austin, uh, the us defense secretary, making those words, i, i

welcome rick sterling, investigative journalists. rick, thank you so much for. being with us, i mean your thoughts on this uh this latest situation, it just seems that israel continues once to up the anti in the region and now they have killed iran's top commander inside of syria, your thoughts, yeah, well this is another example of the rogue regime in in tel aviv, honestly, they've engaged in terrorism for more than 75 years and it just keeps keeps going. and and getting worse frankly, at the same time i noticed that they are very concerned because i was reading today and they're reporting that anti-israel sentiment among young democrats and the us is reaching dangerous levels, so this is a reflection of the reality that there has been a sea change in the perception of israel within the united states and especially among youth, more and more youth are seeing israel as settler colonial state, as a terrorist state, and even in the jewish community, there is increasing um desire to have nothing to do with it, and and to oppose it here i
