"it had been going on long before the 1973 Arab-Israeli War was a watershed for U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East. It forced the Nixon administration to realize that Arab frustration over Israel's unwillingness to withdraw from the territories it had occupied in 1967 could have major strategic consequences for the United States intentions toward its Middle East control and toward Russia... The war thus paved the way for Secretary of State Henry Kissinger’s “shuttle diplomacy”... For Nixon, such reasoning was reinforced by a desire to avoid a crisis in U.S.-Israeli relations before the 1972 presidential elections."

What they told Neanjahi was: _"Here´s 20 billion more, mountains of bombs and continued protection of your airspace by our fleet - also our congress will stand up and applaud your blatant lies 53 times in 60 minutes and we will protect everything you do in the UN."_
- Giving 20 billion in money on top of the regular 4 billion payment- - Delivering about 120 plane-loads full of heavy ordinance in short notic- - Protecting the airspace of another country with 2 combat fleets- - Shielding them from any UN action by dozens of vetoes. - And finally inviting the warmonger to speak in congress and giving his blatant untruths 53 standing ovations. No matter what you heard in th media circus: The US govts actions? Very clearly said _"Go on, we´lll keep you stocked, alibied and protected"._
Israel has always used ‘Preemptive strike’ as its excuse for its progressive aggression over time to annex lands. Take 1967’s Six Day War, which was disputed in Miko Peled’s book ‘The General’s Son’. Every accusation from the terrorist state is a confession .

We need to pressure the Democratic Party to make a bold stance to withhold arms from Israel. This genocide will continue only as far as we, as a country, allow it
We have to be willing to lose the election. Harris has the impression we're so afraid of Trump we'll fall in line. If we don't the genocide may continue under Trump it may not, but we will have signaled that AIPAC doesn't own our votes and if they line their paychecks they better start working for the voters. I will vote progressive down ballot but I will not vote for Harris unless she calls for an end to the genocide, not a ceasefire. We are beyond that now. Genocide is accomplished through starvation, deprivation of healthcare and water etc.

The US keeps claiming progress has been made in talks for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, it keeps funding and arming Israel’s war machine against the people of Gaza, and it also helps Tel Aviv maintain and strengthen the all-out siege on the Palestinian territory. Now, alongside the everyday bombings, the weaponized starvation and the lack of medicine and necessities, Gazans face the threat of a Polio virus outbreak. With the international community incapable of taking any meaningful action.
Sigh. The WHO stated that Gaza had nearly optimal rates of vaccination among the population BEFORE the war began. Are you claiming that the conflict magically made all those vaccines ineffective…….?? 🤦♂️

But I suppose you are closer to the camp that support hamas so you don't actually care for dead palestinians at a humanitarian level but rather want to use them to virtue signal online. Also "Israel said they wont deal with hamas" is a worthless talking point given that they were dealing with hamas prior to hamas withdrawing from the talks. But I suppose you just live in quotes rather than in the reality of what is actually taking place and will do whatever mental gymnastics necessary to support hamas.

Outstanding analysis of current situation 👍👍 Sure wish MSM would hire this gentleman to offer his thoughts to the world. Could you imagine his work as Secretary of State? As an American citizen might actually get to sleep at night knowing world will be there upon waking. 😆
He not only moves the goal posts, he moved the failsafe guardians of the Gaza border, the military IOF, to the West Bank knowing a year in advance Hamas' plans and ignored Egypt's warning a month earlier than 10/7.
Funny how Israel withdraws their civilians while hamas does everything in their power to keep civilians in the areas where hostilities take place yet the brainrot jihadi supporters will twist it into "Jew bad"
lol. This guy says Hamas is prepared to live in coexistence with Israel. The closest they’ll get to that is a Palestinian state as the first step toward Israel’s destruction. Listen to their leaders, read their charters. Even their updated charter says the former is still valid.
This might not be palatable to the countries that enable the genocide on the Palestines however in my opinion Mr Rami Khourianalysis is spot on. FREE, FREE Palestine
Sounds like an opportunity to lay out sound premises and charge Israel and the US with bad faith. The American people might catch on. However, October 7th isn't going to be swept under the rug either, and Hamas one party hold on Gaza is not good-looking public relations. For what it has cost the people of Gaza, Hamas should be out of power there. Gaza should apply to be an Egyptian or Jordanian territory and get on with reconstruction and building a decent life on their strip of waterfront property.
Three lifetimes ago back in 1970, I served on the base where I was stationed with six survivors of the USS Liberty attack on June 8th, 1967 that resulted in 34 U.S. Navy dead and 171 wounded.

Imagine being surrounded by seven aggressive bullies who have attacked you countless times, and knowing that the last time you were defenseless, it led to your near destruction. Now, consider that all these bullies have sworn to eliminate you, and you ask if it makes sense not to defend yourself. Israel, unlike these nations, has always extended a hand for peace, despite its limitations. In the Arab world, there are virtually no Jewish minorities left, while in Israel, there are many minorities with equal rights. The Palestinian leadership has openly vowed to dismantle our state, and yet, you support this aggression, blinded by your own biases. When the day comes that the Arab world lays down its arms, there will be peace. If Israel were to lay down its arms, it would face annihilation-this is the harsh reality that is often overlooked. We have no other place to go. We are a small minority living on our historical land. We sincerely wish for peace, but we are being backed into a corner. The hatred toward Jews started long before the occupation or any other issue. It's crucial to understand the complexities of this situation and recognize that the survival of our people is at stake.

@@braithmorgan Trying to make a sensible point with a ziotroll is a waste of your time.
If I were hamas I would capitulate and release the hostages to save palestinian lives or at the very least stop operating from civilian areas to save my people. But I suppose you are closer to the camp that support hamas so you don't actually care for dead palestinians at a humanitarian level but rather want to use them to virtue signal online. Also "Israel said they wont deal with hamas" is a worthless talking point given that they were dealing with hamas prior to hamas withdrawing from the talks. But I suppose you just live in quotes rather than in the reality of what is actually taking place and will do whatever mental gymnastics necessary to support hamas.
Well said and explained!
watching Bibi he could barely control his happiness at this escalation of violence, he's trying not to smile as much as he wants to . It plays right into his hands and I still haven't given the Democrats a dime, no arms, no money, ceasefire, two state solution. Until then they are just as bad as the Republicans.
STEIN/WARE 2024!
Does Israel 🇮🇱 have any friends, other than American? This religious injustice must be addressed and stopped! 🤔😤🧐🤨🇺🇸😃😔🇮🇱👌
By "religious injustice" you mean the right wing Islamicist fundamentalists, right?
Not really. All the other countries have come out against the genocide except the evil U.S. zionist owned empire.
They have all of the NATO nations.
@@lah6739 More like lap dogs fearful of the anti-Semitic label?
@@lah6739 ya , I had friends like NATO . Not worth a hoot 🦉! 😣😢😔🫣🤔
Outstanding analysis of current situation 👍👍 Sure wish MSM would hire this gentleman to offer his thoughts to the world. Could you imagine his work as Secretary of State? As an American citizen might actually get to sleep at night knowing world will be there upon waking. 😆
He doesn't offer his thoughts, he gives analysis based on facts.
Netanyahu has said his aim is to destroy Hamas. That's why you will never have a ceasefire.
He keeps moving the goalposts.
If you don't like the goalposts, don't play in the game.
He not only moves the goal posts, he moved the failsafe guardians of the Gaza border, the military IOF, to the West Bank knowing a year in advance Hamas' plans and ignored Egypt's warning a month earlier than 10/7.
I agree.
The Israelites will survive, the other nations will not... mark my words
Its hilarious how the so called anti-zionists and pro-palestinians are opposed to the goal of destroying hamas (yet not hamas supporters they claim).
Whatever it is , There will not be a ceasefire soon.
"After who wins US president election, Then only Then lets talk some more on ceasefire".
Yes hamas withdrew from the discussions once again you are correct.
Rami Kouri very intelligent world knowledge Middle East expert listing Rami mind growing brain and character mind god bless Palestinians nation
Thank you rami ❤
Accuate assessment of the real core of the problem in the middle east by Rami as always.
Chickens were the casualties of Hesbollahstrike😂

Like little boys with jets playing gangster... just like Gang Violence I see 👀 no difference 👀🙄🤔
They make the Cartels and Mafias look like pre kindergarten kids
So encouraging to hear from such an intelligent and knowledgeable person. Time to get some $ over to Democracy Now....
Evacuating those in the North. Gee. I wonder if they got the hint as to what the people of Gaza went thru.
Funny how Israel withdraws their civilians while hamas does everything in their power to keep civilians in the areas where hostilities take place yet the brainrot jihadi supporters will twist it into "Jew bad"
lol. This guy says Hamas is prepared to live in coexistence with Israel. The closest they’ll get to that is a Palestinian state as the first step toward Israel’s destruction. Listen to their leaders, read their charters. Even their updated charter says the former is still valid.
( you must negotiate , NOT ATTACK , just makes things worse, bigger, out of hand !)
Thank you for sharing this clear analysis.
How can you stop escalating by keeping supplies of weapons 😮😮😮😮
I hope Americans Politicians become aware that more and more Americans are supporting the resistance and NOT Israel.
This might not be palatable to the countries that enable the genocide on the Palestines however in my opinion Mr Rami Khourianalysis is spot on. FREE, FREE Palestine
yes sir.
U S "Mediation" ia only a bad theatrical imitation of mediation !
in fact religion as fire to fuel in there..specialy from hama..when UN realize this simple source of hates?
Great analysis!
I disagree. This cannot be solved politically. It has to be solved in a military way. The state of Israeli needs to be taken down.
Good luck 😂
@@gabbycarter965 i agree! There's no other way for these maniacs!
not just weapons..in fact religion as fire to fuel in there..specialy from hama..when UN realize this simple source of hates?
Sounds like an opportunity to lay out sound premises and charge Israel and the US with bad faith. The American people might catch on. However, October 7th isn't going to be swept under the rug either, and Hamas one party hold on Gaza is not good-looking public relations. For what it has cost the people of Gaza, Hamas should be out of power there. Gaza should apply to be an Egyptian or Jordanian territory and get on with reconstruction and building a decent life on their strip of waterfront property.
Nasrallah is the most rational person in the room, as always. Free Palestine.
Thanks for calling out the racial aspect
Preemptive? Heard that somewhere before.
We have learned more about military industry since listing to RFK ON RUclips than years of media.
very interesting perspective.
Wow, what an amazing guest!
Another top class speaker
Three lifetimes ago back in 1970, I served on the base where I was stationed with six survivors of the USS Liberty attack on June 8th, 1967 that resulted in 34 U.S. Navy dead and 171 wounded. They were bitter. Very bad karma is still very much in play. Subtle core distrust still exists of the suicidal self-destructive operations mindset that still runs the 51st State.
Rami has a logical point, I witnessed the so called "Honest Peace Broker" with Clinton and the Camp David peace agreement for a two State solution. Look where we are now talking about expanding the conflict...
Yes, one side is unwilling to compromise and they are far worse for their intransigence.
Right at the moment they are not far worse, Israel has gained more territory from the Palestinians, Syria and Lebanon...
I would consider "Hezbollah firing rockets into Israel" is a threat. It is not "an excuse from Israel" as this guest suggested.
Well Israel murdered a Hezbollah leader!! So they should just say ok!
@@PamDigiovanniisn't it Hezbollah is a terrorist organization ? Oh remember ISIS, USA eliminated Bin Laden. So what say you ?
"I have brought forth from amongst My servants such people against whom none would be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur."
People inflict suffering on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Dalai Lama
A completely "out of context" quote non-applicable to a war. Other than that, great try... at nothing. 🙄
More like the pursuit of lascivious blood lust from Satan worshipers.
Israel responded. It wasn't pre-emptive. If you listen, Nutty Yahoo said it himself.
This is the end of Israel
And the new Palestinian state
Long live Palestinians
*2 of 2. This is how you always need to vote:*
We must fully criticize and _always vote_ *against* (& less authoritarian than) both the Democratic *and* Republican Parties- including *Trump,* RFK Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, Rand Paul (He’s _no_ Ron Paul), Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Ron Johnson, and all other Republicans. Vote in every single election- at all levels. And also _endorse or anti-endorse,_ in all elections you can, for outside your voting jurisdiction.
For _all_ public positions. And this same strategy applies against the same one or more party-monopolies in _all_ countries worldwide.
Real libertarians will never be Republicans or Republican loyalists. Never vote for _any_ Democratic member or loyalist either.
If no candidates for a position fit that bill:
-Where _write-ins_ are permissible, always write-in an anti-authoritarian person;
-Where write-ins aren’t permissible, always vote uncommitted or leave the ballot blank.
This will continuously reduce the power of _all_ authoritarian parties in the party monopolies: Until our task is complete.
Repeat strategy for all new authoritarian parties that emerge.
💚 I'm voting for Jill Stein 💚
@@anthonyweller3077 same
@@anthonyweller3077 Please never vote Green Party:
@@anthonyweller3077 Always make sure you vote _less authoritarian_ than all Democratic and Republican party members. Even the Green Party is more authoritarian because they raise taxes for the military industrial complex and the prison industrial complex. Cornel West is the same here, don’t vote for him. And Bernie Sanders is even worse here, never vote for him.
Taxes can never be raised- we need to instead focus on shifting money away from the military industrial complex and away from the prison industrial complex.
This is the strategy for the working class, and would clearly be sanctioned by *Peter Kropotkin* himself.

How old is Netanyahu ? It's quite possible he is suffering dementia .
Its not just a matter of stopping the aggressions. Send in the war crimes tribunals and let the victims tell their stories. Lock up the perps, have trials, and accountability. Palestinian rule, democratic Levant, intruders go home, or stay and respect the law, other people, and property. Right of return, and local judicial panels for return of stolen properties, and compensations where merited.
full of tears as result..

It repeats here on every new video.
Rami khouri is totally right. "It is a fiction or a fantasy, where everytime the Hamas accepted the ceasefire the PM make an additional demands".

Excellent discussion. Always said the US can never be an honest broker for Palestine. China and India would be good negotiators for peace. Thanks
13:38 well said‼️soooo true!
Imagine being surrounded by seven aggressive bullies who have attacked you countless times, and knowing that the last time you were defenseless, it led to your near destruction. Now, consider that all these bullies have sworn to eliminate you, and you ask if it makes sense not to defend yourself. Israel, unlike these nations, has always extended a hand for peace, despite its limitations.
In the Arab world, there are virtually no Jewish minorities left, while in Israel, there are many minorities with equal rights. The Palestinian leadership has openly vowed to dismantle our state, and yet, you support this aggression, blinded by your own biases. When the day comes that the Arab world lays down its arms, there will be peace. If Israel were to lay down its arms, it would face annihilation-this is the harsh reality that is often overlooked.
We have no other place to go. We are a small minority living on our historical land. We sincerely wish for peace, but we are being backed into a corner. The hatred toward Jews started long before the occupation or any other issue. It's crucial to understand the complexities of this situation and recognize that the survival of our people is at stake.
