situation in the middle east. the forum includes author david the author of "revolution for dummies: laughing through the arab spring ." we will also hear from former counterterrorism analyst malcolm nance. >> hello everybody. i am in los angeles. checking my microphone, thank you. can you hear me now? this is a debate we do every year. are on the portions middle east. tonight how weat got here and what we have seen as a problem that cannot be .ontained from spreading spreading through europe to our own shores from the middle east. i will start with david horwitz. david, you have some strong ideas have thought we got here. i am hoping you will also have some ideas on how to get out. david: first, let's look at what we are talking about. since the obama administration, 500,000 people have been slaughtered by isis in the middle east in the name of islam's god. and yemen have become terrorist states. begin with a dominantit has be, which -- regime. it has been replaced by russia, with syria and korea. the reason for t

the best way really for to bring peace to the middle east. is remove the money bags take the cash out. if gutter can remove its fun and the rand could remove its funding for hamas if the united states can stop giving a quarter to a half a billion dollars a year. to the palestinian authority. and of which approximately a half of all foreign aid goes to pay terrorists salaries if you let these people just live together and work together you will see peace emerge but what is the biggest export of the palestinian territories the biggest export is terror terrorism the need for foreign aid and the and the unrest created by this horrible status quo people should be left alone or remember the third largest political party in in israel with eleven percent of the votes necessary to quite a bit of the country going on is the arab party created by a coalition of. arab parties that there are two hundred thousand arabs both muslim and christian who are working every day in as israeli citizens driving buses coding computers working in hospitals working in fa

question that i asked joe we knew your mind what are the main confines of what's going on in the middle east because as joe has pointed out it's a long long laundry list ok go ahead sami. yes i think what this at stake today is the new order in the middle east because or that. one hundred years ago has definitely gone and now there is a new or dude but to a different players with different powers that opening them up and for instance you have russia getting a big role in syria especially in the last two years iran the united states of america and. to a lesser extent saudi arabia so this is a new order. by. their powers and of course i forgot turkey that is a compact of that power it's on the scene for us. and the name of the game today is fighting the guy. who are. who will be policing. this. influence. each in the work that we have already mentioned so what's at stake today. or. do you find the balance of power for years. to come in joe it's very interesting in looking at syria here with the end of dash i saw islamic state it seems to me that there's a lot of jockeying position for what cou

to retreat from the middle east. it was his policyto retreat from the middle east. he blamed the united states as a problem. into that vacuum, isis poured , if there had been 20,000 american troops, isis would've been stuffed at birth and 500,000 people would be alive and 20 million refugees were created because of obama's policies in the middle east.

it gives the perception in the middle east and within our societies and the west that the life of theuslims or the life ,f the suspected muslims civilian muslims come are the innocent muslims have less i you then our lives. beaker,ay, let us also we need to condemn but we also need to try to get these people -- and that so happy by the fact that every time it happens, we're killing the people. we don't know who they are. we killed ththem. i was in africa with people telling us, i don't understand the logic of the way we're dealing with terrorists because we keep on try to kill them and that is it. we don't want to catch them and understand why this is happening. it is unacceptable even in the way we are dealing with people -- yes, there are terrorists and we have to get with more security a and to catch them. but let us try to u understand w we're going to deal with this and not be happy only because we kill them and that is what we want. i would say the media coverage now, it it is nurturing this narrative that was coming from this 2001 with this war on terror, normalizing something

events lead up till today certainly and i think the end of the day when you know when you travel the middle east and you and you know you the issue that i think most people in middle east would have with israel is simply the feeling that it's a european. entity as such it's a european created state with mostly european populated jews who came to live there and there's a resentment that you did this without our permission basically did this is part of the imperial phase of empire building of empires basically deciding on behalf of you know what syria and iraq and you know arabia basically the british put the saudis on the on the throne there so there's all this there's resentment that obviously that goes against europe for the colonial era that continues its present day. but what we really have to get through is peace because i think anybody no one wants to see this kind of strife that we're seeing today no one want to hopefully see it no one want to suit them and ultimately we do want to see peace between israel and palestine we do want to see peace between all these countries there you asked hi

i mean from my perspective, the middle east problems begin and end with the behavior of middle east states, towards each other and towards their own population. >> we have a minute and-and-a-half, vanguard of the imam, everyone should read it. when he dies, you wrote this is a central problem, what happens when he dies, does irgc take over the state? >> i think that's a good question. one of the narratives that's out there, does the irgc already control the iranian state? i argue they doempblt where they have outside influence is iran's strategic behavior, ballistic missile program, and the foreign policy in the middle east. what it does in iraq, syria, yemen, what the united states cares about, that's what the irgc is very much involved in. if the supreme leader dies, the irgc has a decision to make. >> that decision is going to be, are they going to get greedy and push for more control over iranian decision-making, written large, both the message -- >> sulimani, perhaps? >> no, i am convinced, sulimani would not advance that position. the pain reason, he is well liked. on both sides, by,

he did not mention that poland was supposed to accept thousands of people from syria and the middle eastican many times and discuss with the hierarchy that situation. we all understand that we at first supposed to start assisting people in the region of middle east, not africa. —— north africa. first we engage with the european to help find them peace, a peaceful solution for the war. that has been going on already for seven years in syria. we are supposed to control the borders of the eu. we are supposed to help them relocate in europe on a voluntary basis. those countries who have the ability to accept these migrants may accept them, those who want to emigrate to the country are supposed to emigrate. we cannot accept in the 21st century resettlement by force. once again, we are accepting millions of migrants coming from ukraine and other areas. poland is finding these people in poland. you made that point, thank you. all these things we have been discussing have drawn a lot of criticism from the eu of poland. poland is the biggest recipient of eu funding. in 2015, you received 13.4 bil

some cities in the middle east are becoming big. rom one place to another is becoming a hassle. that is why the trend today is to have a sustainable community. it doesn't have to be a gated community, but when you have the residential and amenity that comes with that residential component, i truly believe the trend in pricing is what we call also payment terms. a lot of people are calling for more aggressive payment terms, but that doesn't really -- it shouldn't happen at the cost of quality, because we believe in the product. if you perfect the process, i think the product will be great. that is why you don't be excited about having a good payment term and then get a shabby product. what is it? guest: i don't see a lot of foreigners leaving. we see a lot of people coming right now into this area. dubai is becoming a safe haven for a lot of people. not only investment. the employment market is up. i would say the competition. we still have ample space in the real estate market in dubai. but the pricing, competition, and the cost of b

so basically, poland does not want to take any migrants and refugees from the middle east and africa,ntry, with only 0.4% of your population made up of foreigners. over 90% are roman catholic. cedar one was a migrants. i will give you an example of what the deputy prime minister said last year. —— so not very many migrants. he said people would be blown up. is that what people don't like about poland? these ideas exist in the polish population. more than 75% of polls do not want to accept this relegation by force of the migrants from north africa and the middle east. but we try to implement the decisions of the commission from september 2015, and many months ago, we sent our border guards to the camps in italy and greece, we sent also security officers. firstly try to identify some of these people. and of course, the majority of them it is very difficult to identify them. they do not have documents. this is a threat for the security of the country. of course, nobody from these migrants, these refugees, we prefer these migrants, these refugees, we p refer to these migrants, these refug

and previously in the middle east as well of course thank you dan hawkins for. well let's get the latest developments in our breaking news story just to reiterate some of what dan was saying and what else we do know over the last number of hours authorities say thirteen people being killed over fifty injured after a van plowed into a crowd of pedestrians in the center of barcelona iran we're hours ago one suspect has been arrested the attack happened in the tourist area around five in the evening to the war in the images we're about to show you are highly disturbing. that was the scene in barcelona of hours ago when the reportedly drove five hundred meters down a pedestrian stretch of the road is of course pedestrian in the middle of love. and cars can go either side of the street police also say that fifty six people have been taken to hospital after the attack we do not know at this stage how many people are in critical condition if they are people are being advised to avoid the city center of course as we've been mentioning so many tourists there for the month

foreign policy at least when it comes to who the real enemy is a middle east. some say it's the islamic state others say for example this week former secretary of state henry kissinger declared defeating the islamic state might lead to a quote radical iranian empire he notes the u.s. and russia partner with opposing sides in the middle east how do you assess his view and how much of it is based and a cold war era mentality. well it's certainly the kind of cool binary thinking that me so you know from one hundred forty five to one hundred ninety one but there's something quite i think a level and that needs to be pointed out you know mr kissinger who is developed you know an expertise in essentially dividing the world in order for the united states to emerge as the supreme power here utilizes if sectarian logic to understand the middle east in other words he is suggesting that isis somehow is the sunni champion which is an extraordinary part if you asked that i think sunni majority countries in the region including the kingdom of jordan i think they'd be quite su

but there were no national borders in the middle east there were no nations in the middle east there were colonies and those colonies. were run by the ottomans and within those colonies were tribes and so what the british did was they actually invented states and allowed the arabs to go into nationhood many of the arabs however did not wish to go into the nation the best way really for to bring peace to the middle east. if you remove the money bags take the cash out. if gotter can remove its fun and the rand could remove its funding for hamas if the united states can stop giving a quarter to a half a billion dollars a year. to the palestinian authority. and of which approximately a half of all foreign aid goes to pay terrorists salaries if you let these people just live together and work together you will see peace emerge but what is the biggest export of the palestinian territories the biggest export is terror it terrorism the need for foreign aid and the and the unrest created by this horrible status quo people should be left alone or remember the third largest political party in i

missile defense system, it is like we are taking the regime change paradigm from the middle east and trying to apply it on the korean peninsula. if you think it was a disaster in the middle east, now, add nuclear weapons. this is not going to work. we are heading towards a mushroom cloud right now. this is not your regime change in the middle east, which has been catastrophic enough. this is on a nuclear dimension now. koreanen the new south thaaddent is against the missile system. he called for immediate negotiations with north korea. what happened? goodtein: it is a question. the people of south korea are disturbed by this. there are strong demonstrations going on against him. it feels like he has betrayed -- people because he was initially, as president, he did and he has done a real turn around since his summit with donald trump and he has backed off. what is exciting now, there is an international coalition developing among peace in democracy groups between south korea and the u.s. we are trying to work at both ends of the proroblem. it has been an occupied peninsula. it has bee

you have the middle east, north korea. you have a lot of places of tremendous conflict and tremendous danger for this country. i will say getting a 15-0 vote of the united nations from the security council the other day -- that is something very few presidents would have been able to get, and i have great respect for the fact that china and russia went along with it. that was a tremendous day for the united states. i think you'll have a strong impact on north korea. i don't know that it will be the end-all, but i think it will have a big impact on north korea and what they are doing. thank you all very much. thank you very much. appreciate it.
