We are told by our politicians that we are lazy and entitled, and then they give OUR tax dollars to a foreign nation that has those things they claim us to be spoiled for wanting!!!
Exactly, they aren't discussing all the vested interest here, what goes into the pockets of Senators. Not to forget Israel is an American Project , don't blame just the lobby or Israel
@FaliLivoreka Absolutely correct. Too bad, that the AIPAC corruption and bribery of american politicians on both sides delays the inevitable and thus causes many more Palestinian lives!
It’s a shame that we in the US did not listen to Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer over the past few decades. We would have done both ourselves and the world a huge favor if we had taken their advice.
What is Zionism, do you even know? It is the “Desire for a Jewish state to exist on the land of Israel, the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people”. Stop vilifying a word you don’t even understand, maybe ask an Israeli what Zionism is instead of getting your definition from people who aren’t zionist and clearly hate the mere concept of a Jewish state in the land of Israel.
@@KaladinAndSyl If the objective was to found a Jewish state in the Middle East, why did early Zionists consider upstate New York, Uganda, Madagascar, Italian East Africa, and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast of the the USSR (which still exists in Russia by the way)?
@@KaladinAndSyl Our critique is how they are starving children to death to get even more land.... And using our taxpayer money... It's NOT about moving Israel or against Israel arresting/fair trial/punishment of the individuals who did commit crimes or whatever you tell yourself to justify it.

Civilian casualties first in Israel then in Gaza? From what point of time are you counting? The war in Ukraine started in 2014 with 14 000 death. The conflict in Israel started in 1948 with countles death from which most are on the Palestinian side.
According to the media and the majority of the brainwashed masses the conflict - war - started on Oct 7th 2023. Only a couple of days ago our want to be president Kamala started out with that talking point after being asked about the conflict in the Middle East.

That is called colonialism ... if Britain hadn't done the Balfour accord, and not allowed the zionists to get a foothold in what was Palestine that had been under Ottoman rule, history would be written differently ... that turd Balfour gave the land to both Zionists and Palestinians and the conflict has been ever since ...
Prof Walt says that the Israel Lobbybis very powerful but doesnt always gets its way. Really?!! Who has the will to stand up to their power? Anyone who does so will be doomed to destruction and career collapse. These guys are brilliant and can exploit the smallest weakness of people ruthlessly and shamelessly.
Its not influence. Its control. Absolute control. Isnt it obvious .. when the US system (politicians, media, academia) can be made to jump through hoops at will. Jewish ownership and Jewish presence in these circles is instrumental.
*Zionist. We have to do the constant, conscious work of not conflating them. There are so so many anti-Zionist Jews who are trying to educate and fight for liberation.
But it’s Zionist - not Jewish. The two are not synonymous. We need to be very clear on that. Indeed we need to expose the number of Evangelical Christian lawmakers who actively promote support for Israel. It’s their progeny.
@janetwalk4996 Absolutely. I apologize. One should not conflate and tar the 5-10% of non-Zionist Jews with the same brush as the open and closet Zionist Jews who use their positions of power, access and wealth to manipulate Western policies and politics in favor of Israel. And its not just the Adelsons, most Jewish billionaires tend to work quietly for Israel through mega donations no one can refuse. Christian Evangelicals are not entirely irrelevant.. but the Zionists do the heavy lifting.. using all possible means.
@janetwalk4996 True! Not everyone wants to grab all the land. They want to grab to different degrees. Some are extreme maximalists; some want to grab to get the best real estate out of that place; some just want to grab enough to coexist. All Jews are not hard Zionists and in fact a few (5-10%) are non-Zionist as well.
I was undecided 2 days ago , then I fell down the Palestine rabbit hole and became a single issue voter. I was so delighted to see we actually have a choice!!! Voting Green/Stein and hopefully my wife will too!
@@cosmolove What people fail to understand is, if these politicians can do that type of thing to powerless people in foreign country, they could and would do it to powerless people in their own backyard too.
Lots have dual citizenship - so much cheaper to get land by kicking an aboriginal arab off of his property and taking it over - the cost of land is exhorbitant in Manhattan ...
“Israeli lobbies have penetrated A to Z of America; they are implementing their agenda through America” is a unified statement of almost all the scholars of international relations!
@GeorgeMirra They have to do that otherwise they lose their jobs like 2 or 3 congress people already did trying to get reelected but not toeing the 2 party line.
Walt has clarity on many issues but dithers on labelling the US treatment of Palestinians as racism, and the US-led war of Palestinian extermination as actually US led. That's falling short on courage and honesty.
Israel would not have been able to do this without the US. support militarily, economically and diplomatically making the UN ineffective with the US veto enabling Israel to continue it's apartheid.
insane that a foreign country that literally does less than nothing for the average american has that much power to essentially dictate our foreign policy.
Professor Stephan, Professor John measshmier, Professor Sacha, Professor Noam Ch. These and many other intelectuals in America create sense of hope and light beyond the tunel.
Hamas was resisting according to the law sir. They attacked military targets. There are no civilians in Israel. All of those hostages were most likely soldiers that abused Palestinians in their own land and fields and neighborhoods.
when i was young, each political candidate received a few thousand dollars of campaign funds and 4 months of campaigning to make their case. That's it. Need to get back to that. Constant campaigning and endless money in politics via superpacs is killing the US political system...
its totally 100% corrupt bought and paid for by those who dont run for election but control politics (especially Geo political) , same across the west all bought and paid for , look at how many politicians are going along with genocide should tell you the depth of depraved corruption in order to keep receiving $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ same with western media owned controlled by the same power pushing their false narratives , all bought and paid for ,,,you cant fix this until you acknowledge the depth of how corrupt it is , its an industrial scale at this point ,
In 2020 Michael Bloomberg spent $500 million on campaign ads. Which got him nothing in return. It would have cost him less money to send each American citizen a $1 million check.
And yet, even during a superb interview, we hear the Hasbara talking point about October 7th being "horrific." No, it was not! It was a legal and moral response to 75 years of genocidal oppression and occupation.
The cult of Zionism inspires great devotion from its adherents. It gives them the motivation to expend enormous effort and resources in support of their cult. It makes them willing to commit atrocities to try to preserve it.
Ive had a thought to cap all people on earth to not get more than 500k at most and all excess money flowed back into fixing health infrastructure (outlawing wars for profit drugs for profit) when we allow billionaires to combine wealth power we end up where we now are , no one on earth is worth or deserves billions of dollars , no one..... limiting money is the KEY TO ALL OF IT
The fact the lobbying determines political careers and national policy is chilling and makes democracy a concept for winning optical office. The 2nd fact is the calibre of politicians that are elected is low and open for business for personal gain.
THE MOST LUCRATIVE INVESTMENT IN HISTORY! ISRAEL BOUGHT OUT AMERICAN POLITICIANS AND MEDIA WITH FRANCTION OF THE MONEY RECEIVING FROM AMERICAN TAX PAYERS.😮😢
He masterminded the strategy of getting isnotreal to expose their ongoing barbarity to the rest of the world .they can't play their victim card anymore .they have lost that for ever.
Blinken is probably helping the Israelis to choose their targets across the globe. The Israelis could not ask for a better USA envoy. He is better than the prodigal son, he is like a first love to the Israelis.
The main problem I have with U$ lobbyists and their government is the influence it plays on allied countries. The US is given power voluntarily to direct international policies that aren't always aligned to a sovereign country. Alliance to a government that fails to meet its foreign relations in a productive manner, must be abandoned. I'm OK with America's political failures. Just don't take us down with them. Drop the alliance and save ourselves.
The fact that lobbying is bribery should bother you. As it is, many congressmen have been given hundreds of thousands of dollars each to support Israel. Ted cruz got over a million. If you dont take the money and do what they say they ruin you.
It was actually the fall of Saddam Hussein, not Iraq. because Iraqis are still fighting and standing. it's the Same way as Afghans did. Americans and Westerners tend to believe an individual is a country or party they hold as a country. The Middle East is more than one person or a part is more about a nation that holds them together the tribe, the family's cultural ways, and the brotherhood they defend and sacrifice for. Westerners never understand how anybody would sacrifice for anyone else. Islam teaches wholesome, and unity due to Islamic culture everyone regardless of religion becomes one body even if they have minor differences.
Unfortunately, this is just theory.. the Arabs of today are the most nationalist, fragmented,, greedy and selfish.... They have no empathy for one another let alone non Arabs
Jill stein is a control op fake. She censored Cynthia McKinney from joining the Green Party and called her any semetic for criticizing ishells role in 9/11. Look into voting for Dr shiva a try anti Zionist.
Important perspective to highlight tho Prof Ilan Pappé’s most recent book delves deeper into the history of the lobby across the Atlantic and includes the evangelical’s involvement 📚 highly recommended ✊
It's not just the lobby. It is also that members of congress, and high level State and Defense Dept. officials hold duel U.S./Israel citizenship and their loyalty is to Israel and not the U.S.
Step 1: US sends billions in aid to Israel Step 2: Israel spends millions of that aid to buy US politicians Step 3: US politicians get lobbied to vote to give billions in aid to Israel while Americans suffer from poor living conditions. Step 4: Go back to step 1
Israel it's Not in borders with Iran ..so why they think should open war with (Iran) they have to fund the reason 🤔? Or they will despair from the land they are now? ..Israel it's guilty %1000. Or more.. Don't play with fire.. Telika den pane kala..Bibi and company..
Amazing discussion Far overdue and unfortunately even if there was a massive turn of events How may millions of lives lost and disrupted Not unlike the Nazi holocaust We can shed all the tears we want afterwards But to what effect You could argue so humanity learns But have we learned anything? Anything at all ?
Especially wealthy ones like Israel. On international standard of living indices, they rank higher than the US. They have universal healthcare and free college. Yet, they are the largest recipient of US foreign aid. I don't think most Americans realize this.
Si yo fuera un ocupa de israel, estaría haciendo maletas para regresar al pais de origen y dejaría a los Palestinos vivir en paz en su tierra israel 🤷♂️
for anyone to think .... the palestinians were only "left out" some "grand project" when the project consumes 6 other countries including ethiopia is wild.
This is not about Jew or Muslims. This is about European and Arab or Asian. America is ruled by Europeans, Australia is ruled by Europeans, Canada is ruled by Europeans, Israel is ruled by Europeans. That is this bond, favours and relationships all about.
Interesting comments coming from a person of European descent. Are Europeans the indigenous inhabitants of the 'new world'? And what exactly happened to the indigenous inhabitants of that land when the Europeans 'discovered it'? Most intriguing indeed... Passing judgement on those who's archeological footprints stretch back over 3 millennia in that tiny peace of earth. Hubris, hypocrisy, hyperbole and the likes are unlikely to yield any desired outcome.
my closest neighbors are Jewish. I am a American Christian Arab or Arab American Christian see beyond necessity we see a unified region where we accept Israel, as it is as long as it doesn’t take more sovereign countries over their land and their citizens this cannot and should not be tolerated by the international community how World War II was to be never again another genocide while this is actively happening and televised genocide. It should be on either side. We don’t want dead Jewish Israelis, the Jewish Americans or dead Palestinians, Lebanese, or Iran let’s try to be life and consistent. Do you want to say that decision was life but we die. We say we’re pro life but yes, a genocide regime. I say regime instead of country because there’s so many Jewish people that are against the genocide.
In the 1980s and later in the 1990s, the testing of nuclear bombs ended, with a few exceptions. Allegedly, Israel has never tested their outdated system to deploy a nuclear weapon. Trident launch from the UK failed 30th January 2023, and if I can recall, the technology for nuclear weapons was lost in the USA after the 'cold war' finished in 1991

The US the most powerful country in the world, a country that has a more than 35 trillion in debt, a debt that will never be paid off.
HOW NORTHAMERICANS CAN BE SO BLIND AND INMORAL ????????????????????? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Thanks for the truth.
Very brilliant analysis.
This should be illegal, Americans don't have the rights to petition Israel to return the trillions illegally sent there.
Bidn is well bought and most corrupt.
💚 Jill Stein for President, Rudolph Ware for VP 💚 People Plant Peace 💚
Jill stein is a control op fake. She censored Cynthia McKinney from joining the Green Party and called her any semetic for criticizing ishells role in 9/11. Look into voting for Dr shiva a try anti Zionist.
Important perspective to highlight tho Prof Ilan Pappé’s most recent book delves deeper into the history of the lobby across the Atlantic and includes the evangelical’s involvement 📚 highly recommended ✊
Whats the title
@@iwak-us1 Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic
Ilan Pappé
I heard recently that there is also a very powerful Israel lobby in Russia.
Brilliant interview.👍
It's not just the lobby. It is also that members of congress, and high level State and Defense Dept. officials hold duel
U.S./Israel citizenship and their loyalty is to Israel and not the U.S.
You can only have one master.
Great interview
Excellent program and outstanding participation by Stephen Walt.
1:28 wrong Israel is at war with the country of Palestine
Kudos to Walt and Mearsheimer.
Step 1: US sends billions in aid to Israel
Step 2: Israel spends millions of that aid to buy US politicians
Step 3: US politicians get lobbied to vote to give billions in aid to Israel while Americans suffer from poor living conditions.
Step 4: Go back to step 1
Same here in the UK
Honest feed back The truth and humanity matters.
Israel it's Not in borders with Iran ..so why they think should open war with (Iran) they have to fund the reason 🤔? Or they will despair from the land they are now? ..Israel it's guilty %1000. Or more..
Don't play with fire..
Telika den pane kala..Bibi and company..
Thanks
No seriously, who is the current president of the United States?
Apac
Blinken is calling the shots.
Obviously BLINKEN.
Netanyahu
The whole lot
Amazing discussion
Far overdue and unfortunately even if there was a massive turn of events
How may millions of lives lost and disrupted
Not unlike the Nazi holocaust
We can shed all the tears we want afterwards
But to what effect
You could argue so humanity learns
But have we learned anything?
Anything at all ?
The special relationship between a dog and its wagging tail.
EXCELLENT INTERVIEW WATCHSHARE
Excellent insights ❤
FANTASTIC INTERVIEW. GREAT QUESTIONS, GREAT INSIGHT AND BLUNT TRUTHS 👍👍
18:42 this is what most Muslims feel in Europe......
US taxpayers pay their taxes in order to receive services right here in the US. Foreign nations need to take care of themselves.
Especially wealthy ones like Israel. On international standard of living indices, they rank higher than the US. They have universal healthcare and free college. Yet, they are the largest recipient of US foreign aid. I don't think most Americans realize this.
@52:30 Thomas Massie also fought Aipac, but he won. They should have talked about him and how he was successful at beating Aipac.
Won? How do you figure that? Everything is going along as usual. Massey only criticized the lobby, nothing more.
Si yo fuera un ocupa de israel, estaría haciendo maletas para regresar al pais de origen y dejaría a los Palestinos vivir en paz en su tierra israel 🤷♂️
for anyone to think .... the palestinians were only "left out" some "grand project" when the project consumes 6 other countries including ethiopia is wild.
This is not about Jew or Muslims.
This is about European and Arab or Asian.
America is ruled by Europeans, Australia is ruled by Europeans,
Canada is ruled by Europeans,
Israel is ruled by Europeans.
That is this bond, favours and relationships all about.
No, it's about jews and gentiles.
Excellent questions
Nice interview 🎉
Great interview. 👍
Interesting comments coming from a person of European descent. Are Europeans the indigenous inhabitants of the 'new world'?
And what exactly happened to the indigenous inhabitants of that land when the Europeans 'discovered it'?
Most intriguing indeed...
Passing judgement on those who's archeological footprints stretch back over 3 millennia in that tiny peace of earth.
Hubris, hypocrisy, hyperbole and the likes are unlikely to yield any desired outcome.
my closest neighbors are Jewish. I am a American Christian Arab or Arab American Christian see beyond necessity we see a unified region where we accept Israel, as it is as long as it doesn’t take more sovereign countries over their land and their citizens this cannot and should not be tolerated by the international community how World War II was to be never again another genocide while this is actively happening and televised genocide. It should be on either side. We don’t want dead Jewish Israelis, the Jewish Americans or dead Palestinians, Lebanese, or Iran let’s try to be life and consistent. Do you want to say that decision was life but we die. We say we’re pro life but yes, a genocide regime. I say regime instead of country because there’s so many Jewish people that are against the genocide.
In the 1980s and later in the 1990s, the testing of nuclear bombs ended, with a few exceptions.
Allegedly, Israel has never tested their outdated system to deploy a nuclear weapon.
Trident launch from the UK failed 30th January 2023, and if I can recall, the technology for nuclear weapons was lost in the USA after the 'cold war' finished in 1991
Great podcast 🎉
Can you be pro your master if you are a slave?
In politics it is not being pro, it is being a bought and paid slave.
Um how is this CONSTITUTIONAL??
