Video Infoblog: Why the United States Can NEVER Stop Israel
Transcript
0:00
there's a famous story about the first
0:01
time Benjamin Netanyahu met Bill Clinton
0:04
the year was 1996 and Netanyahu was just
0:07
elected a Israeli Prime Minister upon
0:09
arriving at the White House Netanyahu
0:12
sits down with President Clinton and
0:13
begins lecturing him on the Middle East
0:16
on Palestine and the future of Israel
0:18
when Netanyahu was finished he stood up
0:20
and exited the room before President
0:22
Clinton had a chance to say a single
0:25
word this prompted the president to turn
0:27
to his advisers with a puzzled face and
0:29
famously say who the does he think he is
0:31
who's the superpower here the story is
0:34
important for context because here we
0:36
are 28 years later and Benjamin
0:38
Netanyahu is still bossing around and
0:40
lecturing US presidents on how the
0:42
Middle East should function in reality
0:44
the Israeli Lobby holds tremendous power
0:46
over the president of the United States
0:48
and the US Congress in fact Joe Biden
0:51
needs to be extremely careful because
0:53
the way his relationship with Netanyahu
0:55
is going it could change everything and
0:57
become the ex Factor leading to a Donald
0:59
Trump victory this November Israel is
1:01
Prosecuting a war that is literally
1:03
starving the entire population of Gaza
1:05
to death and that's not an exaggeration
1:08
just listen to the Secretary of State
1:10
Anthony blinkin who said these exact
1:12
words last week according to the most
1:14
respected measure of these things 100%
1:17
of the population in Gaza is at severe
1:20
levels of acute food insecurity that's
1:22
the first time an entire population has
1:25
been so classified we also see again
1:28
according to in this this case the
1:30
United Nations 100% the totality of the
1:34
population is in need of humanitarian
1:36
assistance take a moment to digest the
1:38
quote you just heard because I had to
1:40
reread this several times and was in
1:42
absolute shock over blinken's comments
1:44
the Carnage we've seen unfold in Gaza
1:47
has resulted for the first time in
1:49
history an entire population to be
1:52
classified as starving and in need of
1:54
humanitarian assistance literally every
1:57
single person in Gaza if the United
2:00
States truly believed in human rights
2:02
and international law it would step in
2:04
and force Israel into an immediate
2:07
ceasefire but no surprise here the US
2:09
government did the exact opposite and
2:11
this Mass starvation in Gaza is being
2:13
carried out with the United States deep
2:16
participation first the US government is
2:18
supplying Israel with the Weaponry it
2:20
needs to fight this war remember none of
2:23
the Carnage you see in Gaza would be
2:24
possible without us weapons second the
2:27
US is protecting Israel at the United
2:30
Nations and other International forums
2:32
from the consequences of its actions but
2:35
it actually gets much worse 4 days after
2:37
blinkin delivered this spine chilling
2:39
speech on the truth of Gaza the US
2:42
government passed a new funding deal
2:44
that includes a ban on us Aid to the
2:46
largest relief agency in Gaza until 2025
2:50
maybe you've never heard of the
2:52
unrwa but it stands for the United
2:54
Nations relief and works agency it was
2:56
created in 1949 to help the millions of
2:59
Palestinian ref refugees displaced by
3:01
the creation of Israel the agency
3:03
received $1.17 billion in pledges in
3:06
2022 and as you can see the United
3:08
States was the largest donor accounting
3:10
for nearly 30% of that total this UN
3:13
agency was created as a temporary
3:15
solution for the Palestinian refugee
3:17
crisis but here we are 75 years later
3:20
and millions of gazin still depend on it
3:22
for food shelter and education without
3:25
us humanitarian Aid even more people in
3:27
Gaza will starve to death this action by
3:29
the US government is deplorable but it
3:31
gets even worse in the same bill the
3:34
United States is pledging an additional
3:36
$3.8 billion to Israel to continue its
3:39
War efforts in Gaza I honestly just
3:41
can't comprehend the actions of my
3:43
government the US Secretary of State
3:45
admits to the world that every single
3:47
person in Gaza is now catastrophically
3:50
starving so we respond by cutting off
3:52
humanitarian Aid to the largest agency
3:55
dedicated to helping the people in Gaza
3:57
while simultaneously also sending
3:59
another $4 billion to Israel I mean can
4:02
the US government do anything worse
4:04
actually it can there's one final point
4:06
in the bill that truly shows how much
4:08
control Netanyahu has over the US
4:10
Congress this new bill specifies the US
4:13
would also cut Aid to the Palestinian
4:15
Authority in the West Bank if the
4:17
Palestinians initiate an international
4:20
criminal court ICC judicially authorized
4:23
investigation or actively support such
4:25
an investigation that subjects Israeli
4:28
Nationals to investigation for alleged
4:30
crimes against Palestinians as a US
4:32
citizen I have a confession and I need
4:34
to be completely honest with you I've
4:36
never been more ashamed of the actions
4:38
of my government than watching them
4:39
handle this situation in Gaza with
4:41
complete and utter failure there are
4:44
simply no other words to describe it
4:46
other than a total absence of humanity
4:48
but US citizens are beginning to fight
4:50
back and are starting to show their
4:52
frustration against our government in
4:54
reality Biden's unwavering support for
4:56
Netanyahu and Israel could actually cost
4:58
him the upcoming election recently
5:00
voters in Michigan protested Biden's
5:02
stance by voting uncommitted this was
5:04
widely covered in the media in fact I
5:06
can see over 300 articles were published
5:08
on this very story I'm looking at this
5:10
on ground news a platform I use to
5:13
analyze the latest world events I use it
5:15
every day in my work as a geopolitical
5:17
commentator and I'm not just saying that
5:18
because they're sponsoring today's video
5:20
check them out at ground. news/ Cyrus
5:23
the link is in the description let's
5:25
look closer at this story I can see
5:27
relatively consistent spread of left
5:29
Center and right coverage mainly from
5:31
sources rated highly factual telling me
5:33
coverage is less likely subjective and
5:35
sensationalized here is the interesting
5:37
part while right-wing media was quick to
5:39
point out over 100,000 voters casting
5:42
uncommitted votes to reduce Biden's
5:44
delegate count left-wing media couldn't
5:46
rebuke this fact and instead admitted
5:48
that discontent over Biden's foreign
5:50
policy is influencing arab-american
5:52
voters and progressives even more
5:54
interesting is seeing how this story
5:56
received worldwide coverage including
5:58
sources out of Russia and all all over
6:00
the Middle East and you can see this
6:01
information on all the biggest trending
6:03
events around the world ground news has
6:05
Consolidated over 18,000 stories on the
6:08
Israel Palestine conflict in the past 3
6:10
months including many sources from
6:12
Israeli and Arab news outlets meaning
6:14
you can gain perspectives from every
6:17
political Viewpoint to truly understand
6:19
the situation I also use ground news to
6:21
follow other trending stories like the
6:23
potential Tik Tock ban and you know I'll
6:25
be using this as a resource for the
6:27
upcoming 2024 us election everyone as a
6:30
content creator you know I only endorse
6:32
products I've personally used and I 100%

handling this blowback and is there
6:55
anything he can do to sa face in front
6:57
of Voters this November let's bring you
6:59
up to speed on what the US government
7:00
has been doing at first the US thought
7:02
they figured out a brilliant workaround
7:04
they could continue supplying Israel the
7:06
weapons it needs to administer this
7:07
Carnage in Gaza and try to offset this
7:10
by dropping humanitarian aid from the
7:12
sky literally this was the grand plan
7:14
from the Biden Administration and this
7:16
cartoon illustrates exactly what this
7:18
looks like in real life we'll make sure
7:20
to send some food along with the bombs
7:22
destroying your home but according to
7:24
humanitarian experts it's very expensive
7:26
and inefficient to deliver aid from the
7:28
air the reality is whatever Aid can be
7:30
delivered by air is a drop in the bucket
7:32
and comes nowhere close to supplying the
7:34
millions of gazin who are starving to
7:36
death and in desperate need of medical
7:39
supplies what's worse several of the
7:41
parachutes malfunction striking and
7:42
killing five people in the process next
7:45
the US is sending a ship to the coast of
7:47
Gaza to build a pier so boats can Dock
7:49
and bring humanitarian Aid to the
7:51
suffering people in Gaza wow can you
7:53
imagine how long it's going to take us
7:55
military personnel to construct a pier
7:57
in the ocean from scratch of course the
7:59
easiest option would be for the Biden
8:01
Administration to give pressure to
8:03
Israel and force them to open up the
8:05
land border crossing but it's become
8:06
abundantly clear by now the US has very
8:09
little leverage over Israel once again
8:10
it is with us weapons and the tax
8:12
dollars of hardworking US citizens like
8:15
myself that is Prosecuting this war and
8:17
it absolutely outrages me that our
8:19
president and frankly everybody in
8:21
Congress doesn't have the balls to stand
8:23
up to Israel and tell them to do what is
8:25
morally and ethically correct another
8:28
massive problem for the United States is
8:29
that they are now in direct violation of
8:31
its own law by participating in this
8:33
effort to starve the people of Gaza to
8:35
death under the foreign assistance act
8:37
it is illegal for the US government to
8:39
provide weapons to foreign countries who
8:41
will use those weapons to commit grave
8:44
human rights violations it's also
8:46
against the foreign assistance act for
8:47
the US government to provide weapons to
8:49
countries who are blocking the passage
8:51
of us humanitarian assistance wow grave
8:54
human right abuses check blocking us
8:57
humanitarian assistance check is Israel
8:59
is two for two as the US continues to
9:02
violate its own laws which were put in
9:04
place after previously US military
9:06
failures like the waren Iraq and
9:08
Afghanistan killed millions of lives
9:10
honestly this is why countries like
9:12
Russia and China have zero respect for
9:14
US government officials who lecture the
9:16
world on human rights the rule of law
9:18
and how Western democracy is the most
9:20
Superior form of government when our
9:22
politicians say one thing and then
9:23
literally turn around and do the exact
9:25
opposite it's a complete loss of any
9:27
credibility yet that is the foreign
9:30
policy of the United States and once
9:31
again why the US is embarking on a very
9:34
dangerous path for its future by giving
9:36
unconditional support to Israel the US
9:38
is continuing to isolate itself and
9:41
Israel on the international stage and
9:43
this most certainly is not in the best
9:45
interest of both countries but the
9:47
biggest issue here is by unconditionally
9:49
supporting Israel the United States is
9:51
wiping out any remaining credibility we
9:54
have left on the global stage and I say
9:56
that because we've already lost a
9:57
tremendous amount of credibility and it
9:59
always involves military failures when
10:02
we pulled out of Vietnam we lost
10:04
credibility when President Obama said
10:06
that the use of chemical weapons in
10:07
Syria was a red line but then didn't go
10:09
to war we lost credibility when the US
10:12
spent $2 trillion over 20 years fighting
10:15
in Afghanistan only to replace the
10:17
Taliban with the Taliban America lost
10:20
credibility and this blind support of
10:22
Israel makes America look completely
10:25
impotent since we are not using the
10:27
tools at our disposal for ending this
10:29
this War I mean how simple would it be
10:31
for Biden to tell Netanyahu you will not
10:33
use any more American weapons in this
10:34
war and we will not protect you from the
10:37
consequences of your actions in the UN
10:40
International court of justice or any
10:42
International Forum doing so would not
10:44
be anti-semitic it's called being a
10:46
rational person with morals and it's
10:48
also how international law works the US
10:51
wants to put Vladimir Putin on trial for
10:53
war crimes against the people of Ukraine
10:55
but how could they possibly pursue this
10:56
when the US is not only supporting their
10:58
friend net yahu to commit war crimes but
11:01
also giving him the weapons to do so but
11:03
thankfully there is some hope last week
11:05
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer who
11:07
by the way is the highest ranking Jewish
11:10
official in the United States stated
11:12
Netanyahu has lost his way and Israel
11:15
should hold new elections as Netanyahu
11:17
is an obstacle for peace in the Middle
11:19
East as you can imagine these comments
11:21
went viral and no doubt were an effort
11:23
by Schumer to appease the younger voters
11:24
in America who are tired of watching
11:27
this brutal War unfold in Gaza remember
11:29
what I said at the beginning of this
11:30
video if the Democrats don't make a
11:32
drastic change in their approach to
11:33
Israel it could very well CA them the
11:35
election and hand power right over to
11:37
Donald Trump this November but it goes
11:39
beyond just the Democrats winning the
11:41
important 2024 election Schumer
11:43
confessed he spent two months writing
11:45
and polishing the words of the speech
11:47
and thought meticulously over how to
11:49
deliver these important words of course
11:51
it comes as no surprise that Netanyahu
11:53
immediately condemned Schumer's words
11:55
and fought back against the United
11:56
States but ultimately Schumer revealed
11:58
why he decided to criticize Netanyahu
12:01
and that is because he wanted to save
12:02
the future of Israel but now it's also
12:04
time to save the future of the United
12:06
States I don't believe Donald Trump is
12:08
the change we need to see in America but
12:09
if Joe Biden won't take a stand and push
12:12
back against Israel before it's too late
12:14
then it really won't matter who wins the
12:15
presidency this November because
12:17
Netanyahu will March confidently back
12:19
into the White House and this time will
12:21
be the one stating do you want to know
12:23
who the superpower is everyone today was
12:25
an important message I've been covering
12:27
Israel's war in Gaza from the moment it
12:28
broke out and as always I look forward
12:30
