 I think we should defend ourselves, absolutely, but I don't think 

 we should really go and say some group is ripe for change and we 

 should go and take over and insert our will and give them a new way.

 I understand the small part of what I said that you're responding to. I'm not

 saying we should actually go into Iran and and other countries and like topple

 those. I think that's been, you know, we've done that in the past and it hasn't

 worked out well. But we can't leave Israel. We cannot leave Israel's side. It

 would be cowardly and it would be cowardly and despicable for the U.S. to

 not live up to its commitments to Israel there, knowing that the alternative is

 for this, frankly, savage, brutal government to just literally wipe them

 from the river and sea. That's what that 

 means. They just want to kill all of them.

 That's what they wanted to do. Those are the organizations they fund. That's why

 they fund them to do it. That's not right. And sometimes you have to kill people

 when they do wrong things. It's unfortunate, but it is the way it is. And

 you know, if it's between a more peaceful people and a fairly savage government...

 See, the tough thing here is that we all know that internally to those countries,

 like, those are not good conditions to live in. Yet those governments have ruled

 brutally at the expense of their population for a long time. But again, we

 shouldn't go in there and change it. But, I don't know, in the analogy of the

 country as a person, that's the kind of thing you do. You can never look at

 yourself in the mirror again. That is just, I mean, 

 you're a scumbag. You're a scumbag once you do that.

 Unfortunately their natural evolution seems to be to just want to brutally

 slaughter these other people that live right next to them so yeah we shouldn't

 topple them but I mean when you're the strongest country on earth and you can

 I don't know how other people feel about

 their lives but if you just watch from the other side of the road

 while someone's savagely beaten to death you are not a good person

Eyal Waldman, an Israeli high-tech tycoon, founder CEO of Mellanox Technologies, created research and development centers five years ago first in Judea and Samaria (Palestinian) and then two years ago in Gaza, employing hundreds of Arab Palestinian developers.

He used to say…

 I posted this one for you Barca. AR Waldman who 

 the CEO of Maldonado, a company that was acquired

 by Nvidia for seven billion dollars. He hires 

 Arab programmers across Israel in the West Bank and

 even in Gaza. They opened up offices for 

 programmers a few years ago and tragically his daughter was

 murdered in the recent attacks on October 7th.

 It's so sad because I fully agree with your points 

 that if these countries were better developed economically

 These wars wouldn't happen. They'd have more to lose 

 then the CEO that really goes out of his way to provide

 opportunities and Jobs for people in Gaza and 

 there. It's his daughter that is the one that is murdered

 have obviously gone back and forth on a few

 issues but this idea he has of injecting capital at the kind of boots-on-the-

 ground level from the bottom of the system so the bottom-up economic growth

 can happen or invigoration can happen is absolutely brilliant because it really

 doesn't work the opposite way and I think it's very cool that he's taking

 the time to do that and find those companies and get things started. Of

 course you know everything has a level of self-interest but I'm sure he's proud

 of himself for doing that and it would be patronizing to say I'm proud of him

 dad but I am proud of him for doing that

 because that's exactly the sort of thing that good people with figure out

 interests aligned and like ways to make a positive difference in the world and I

 actually think that's that's really great work.

Balfour Declaration - Wikipedia

 November 2nd marks the 106th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, which was a

 letter from Lord Balfour to Lord Rothschild expressing England's support

 for the creation of a home for the Jewish people in 

 Palestine, which was at that point controlled by the British.

 Keith, I appreciate your desire to defend the innocent. I think that's virtuous.

 However, I think the analogy is a little bit too simple for this situation.

 In this case, the two people fighting on the other side of 

 the street have a very long-standing and complex relationship.

 And also, the U.S. doesn't have any special diplomatic skill.

 The U.S. is actually really good at war and money, resolving long-standing conflicts.

 Are there examples of the U.S. going into 

 the middle of a conflict and making it better?

 And to run with the analogy, you're walking down the street and you see many fights.

 There's many fights going on all over the place.

 But the media grabs your attention and directs you to help in one of those fights.

 And the help they request from you is to support politicians with votes and taxes

 to send money and weapons to one or more sides in that conflict.

 And it's worth asking, why do these politicians 

 want to support one side or another in the conflict?

 Is it because they care about protecting the innocent?

 Probably not. Let's be real. Most politicians are sociopaths. If 

 they're supporting someone, it's because they're getting something out of it.

 Whether that's campaign donations, or their war stocks are going up, 

 or maybe they're getting sexual favors from the Jeffrey Epstein crowd.

 But they're not doing it out of some moral obligation.

 far as Gaza being an open-air prison, it

 is an open-air prison. You know why? Because Hamas keeps those people. They

 take 75 to 80 percent of the resources that provided to Gaza and they direct

 them towards their mission of destroying Israel. A Gazan can pass freely into

 Israel provided they're not carrying any explosives or weapons, period.

 Or, if you're a member of Hamas, who's a known murderer of Israel, of Israelis

 and Jews, and sends children to schools with bombs strapped to them. The

 conditions of Gaza, in 2005, Israel forcibly removed all of their own

 population there and committed to supporting there. The only reason it's an

 open-air prison is because Hamas has kept it like that. One, because it's

 easier for them to run under cover of hell to implement what they're trying to

 do. And two, because they want to force the world to take this position that

 Israel have somehow become the type of people that will forcibly animalize

 another population. And as far as my understanding, I don't dabble into this

 stuff. I've been, and I'm defensive now because, I'm defensive now because it's

 the right thing to do. But I've studied this for like my whole life. So this

 isn't, I didn't wander in and say, oh I think we should be pro-Israel because

 some politician says so. My folks served, my family was in World War II in the

 work camp side. And there is a sense of honor and keeping to your commitments

 that is missing from the world leadership stage these days. And I have

 no problem strongly advocating for the U.S. doing the right thing, in my opinion,

 in this situation. And I think, you know, yeah. 

 anyway, this open-air prison comment is bullchit.

 That's a very black-and-white way of looking at the world. There's 

 definitely a moral aspect to it, even if there are other motivations as well.

 I think if people have opportunity they look for that opportunity and they put

 their energy towards the opportunity. If people have no opportunity to create

 wealth that is aligned with their soul, if you will, then they turn their

 intrinsic energy towards defiance, towards destruction. So people are

 either creating or they're destroying, especially young, a lot of young men

 whether that's the, you know, 40 million young people in Iran that are under 40

 or however many are in Gaza, with no hope, with no wealth creation opportunities.

 And so the ground-up entrepreneurship idea is one that I've seen work in

 Venezuela, in hyperinflationary environments, in Cuba more recently

 and a lot of startups there and I bet it

 could work everywhere. And the opposite just has proven not to work.

 War is a fantastic opportunity for forces that are interested in establishing new world order.

 are picking sides that are strategic for them

 to weaken the U.S. And with regard to the 

 Iranians, it's quite cheap for them to have

 the Middle East in turmoil in order to work towards establishing the caliphate for the ummah,

 the Islamic world. So I don't think it's 

 much about how secular they are as much as

 how easy it is the opportunity for Iran, 

 China to establish this new world order. And it

 seems frankly that the public opinion that is quite superficial is very easily prompted

 and programmed by the players that are opportunistic here.

 I'd speculate the main motivation for the 

 U.S. to back Israel is that if they lose Israel,

 their grip in the Middle East will quickly disappear, including with the Saudis and everything.

 The new Middle Eastern order will be formed.

 Europe will fall into civil war and eventually will 

 quite easily get into a part of the caliphate as well.

 And China would be established as the world's superpower,

 practically forcing the U.S. into a position that 

 somewhat a modern version of what Russia turned into

 The cards are being revealed in this war. It 

 has nothing to do with Jews or Muslims' lives.

 Russia is going all in to protect its two decades 

 project of becoming the world's largest energy exporter

 and holding Europe by the balls, with Iran under its alliance.

 If they don't do it, the US in alliance with 

 Israel, the Gulf states, India and all the way to Greece

 is basically opening an energy export corridor from the south and blocking Putin

 and maintaining its pretty much superpower dominance.

 Hence, China doesn't really care about which side 

 so long as it can displace the US as the superpower.

 What's also starting to be clear is that the Israeli region is no longer the only

 frontline. Europe, by virtue of being the main abused in the energy geopolitical

 crisis there, is actually turning into the frontline very quickly. Civil unrest

 can erupt there much faster than people can imagine, and by that time

 progressive left crowds are no longer going to be any real meaningful impact

 on foreign policy for Europe. They will just immediately side with the US unequivocally.

 What's really sad about the situation in Gaza is that it has been practically

 developed by the Iranian regime to be a sacrificial city. They don't mind it

 blowing up for the sake of destroying the efforts by the US of maintaining its

 dominance because if they basically drag the Israelis and American into a

 disastrous situation there and jeopardize the American effort of

 opening the southern energy corridor, this gets them what they need.

 Now with all the logic pointing to an inevitable failure of the US and a

 complete wipeout of Israel off the face of the planet and a rise of the China

 Russia Iran New World Order all this is way too logical and this doesn't take

 into account the so many domestic instability factors in China Russia and

 Iran separately that are going to make it unlikely for this super logical plan to happen

 Mentioning some of the domestic factors in China, Russia, Iran and US-Israel that

 are main factors for how things can turn out. China, for example, has aging

 population, lower negative birth rate, has financial sector that is really corrupt

 and a looming real estate bubble that they won't be able to patch forever.

 Russia has lost so many men in Ukraine, pretty much their productive and manufacturing

 capabilities are going to be very impacted by the war. It's generally culturally isolated

 in the world at the moment. Iran is containing 

 its population in such a strong armed manner that

 it is inviting any scene of weakness for a civil unrest.
