QUESTION: I read Trump’s comment to Netanyahu in Axios. You have been the voice of reason. I argued with someone you said you were anti-sematic for criticizing Netanyahu. They criticized Obama so I asked then you must be a racist. It went right over their head. I know who had two Jewish uncles who married into your family on both sides. Such people are idiots. My question is do you think this will last?
OB
ANSWER: Well, since the latest Israeli poll shows 61% of Israelis what Netanyahu to retire. Does that mean 61% of Israelis are anti-sematic? This is a Neocon tactic and anyone who spouts out this BS one must question their mental capacity to be a free thinker. The EU does the same thing that anyone who does not bad-mouth Putin they call a Putin Supporter. The Neocons always try to prevent any communication with the opposition out of fear there could be a peace deal.
Trump has the midterms and Netanyahu is likely to run for reelection. Netanyahu is being criticized for achieving nothing. He needs a military victory. Trump needs to get the hell out of Iran for the midterms. There is a serious conflict of interest here politically.
Neither Netanyahu nor Zelensky care about the world. Both are psychopaths’ who are only interested in their personal self-interests. The institutional report we produced on the Sovereign Debt Crisis has blown the doors off of what is really going on behind the scenes. I believe that Iran will be able to charge fees to use the Strait of Hurmuz the same as Turkey charges fees for boats and ships using its key waterways, specifically the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits. Egypt charges for passage through their Suez Canal as does Panama. Iran, I believe, has agreed not to pursue a nuclear weapon.
My problem with both Netanyahu and Zelensky is that neither is interested in peace. The alternative is endless war and the only way to win is genocide – the total destruction of your opponent. Ukraine cannot utterly destroy Russia any more than Israel can obliterate Iran. Neither will accept that because they believe that they can lure in other powers to achieve their goal. Zelensky want NATO to wage war against Russia and has even advocated a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Moscow. Netanyahu needs the US to wage war against Iran and the danger remains that he has nukes and can use them under the pretense that it would be a pre-emptive strike.
In 2024, in his Knesset speech, Netanyahu said: “I’ve been warning about Iran for 30 years.” It was reported on March 3rd, during a visit to a site struck by an Iranian missile, Netanyahu stated: “We read in this week’s Torah portion, ‘Remember what Amalek did to you.’ We remember—and we act.”
In 1 Samuel 15:2-3, God gives King Saul a specific, direct order to carry out this command. The prophet Samuel relays the message:
“This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys. ‘”
The harshness of the command in 1 Samuel has disturbed Jewish scholars for centuries, leading to various interpretations that move beyond a literal call for genocide. If Netanyahu believes that genocide is the command of God, that is NOT in the self-interest of the United States. He knows you cannot accomplish regime change from the air. This is the very first time when we are in a partnership with another country who is really calling the shots here where the interests of Netanyahu are by no means the same national interest of the United States.
I have tried my best to reveal the real agenda of both Netanyahu and Zelensky. Both are hellbent on trying to create world war to destroy their hated opponents and will say anything to achieve that goal.
To answer you question, I believe that Netanyahu will not yield and I would still expect tensions to rise again especially in August and this may escalate into the first quarter of 2027. I have been trying to keep the US out of this mess. I will probably fail, but nonetheless, I have to give it a shot.
