Are you on the right side of history?
This is a question that I urge all of us to look in the mirror and ask ourselves right now with all sincerity.
Because the situation unfolding right now is not permanent.
It is quite temporary in terms of world history.
And when it is concluded, when the dust finally settles, will you be on the right side of history?
Or will you be on the side that hangs its head in shame having committed atrocities and war crimes?
I guess other innocent human beings.
That's a critical question.
This question is so important that I'm going to actually play for you right now the interview with Dr.
Francis Boyle.
This interview is one of the most enlightening and critical interviews that I have recorded all year.
No question about it.
This is a must listen interview.
So I urge you, listen up.
Dr.
Francis Boyle has an incredible wealth of knowledge in this area, specifically about Palestine and Israel.
He has knowledge about Nuremberg.
War crimes and war crimes that have taken place in other areas of the world, for example, involving Kosovo or Yugoslavia and others.
And he has words of real wisdom that I think the entire world needs to hear.
So not only am I urging you to listen to this interview, but also share it and repost it.
So here we go, Dr.
Francis Boyle, right here on brighttown.com.
Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
And as you know, over the last, well, more than 10 days since October 7th, we have seen incredible strife and violence happening in the Middle East.
And I have doubled and tripled down on my calls for humanitarian principles.
I've said it's always wrong to murder civilians.
It's always wrong to bomb women and children.
It's always wrong to bomb hospitals and infrastructure that provides key survival supplies for civilians, even if you disagree with their religion or their politics.
And joining me today, a very special guest who is well-informed on this topic and many others, a returning guest, is Dr.
Francis Boyle, to speak on these issues and much more, and also a warning about what is yet to come if we don't de-escalate this and find diplomatic solutions.
Welcome, Dr.
Boyle.
It's an honor to have you on, sir.
Mark, thank you very much for having me on again, my best year viewing audience.
Well, thank you so much.
As I said, it's an honor to have you on.
You've done extraordinary work in many, many areas.
And in this area, I understand you do have an urgent warning to share with us about what's going on.
So do you want to start with that?
Yes, Mike.
The London Times has reported, based on its internal sources, that President Biden regretfully gave Netanyahu the green light to invade Gaza.
And I'm afraid that based upon what happened in 2006, Hezbollah in London will come to the defense of the Palestinians in Gaza and will have a general Middle East war over there.
So you think Hezbollah will Wage incursions into northern Israel from southern Lebanon?
I don't know about incursions, Mike, but they have at least 40,000 high-powered rockets that can devastate the civilian population of Israel.
So I suspect, as would happen in 2006, Israel will perhaps invade, I don't know, and Hezbollah will defend themselves.
The problem is, it looks, Syria might get involved.
Israel stole the Golan Heights from them.
And in Syria, you also have Hezbollah forces that are lawfully there pursuant to the request of the Syrian government to defend Syria from Obama's jihadis.
You have Iranian forces there in Syria that are lawfully there at the request of the Syrian government to defend them from Obama's jihadis.
You have Russian forces there, military forces and naval base there lawfully at the request of the Syrian government to defend them from Obama's jihadis.
And then finally, you have a thousand U.S. military forces there that are illegally there to begin with.
So that's a tinderbox of, I mean, this whole thing is about ready to explode, sadly.
I'm afraid it could.
President Biden could have stopped it in his meeting with Obama.
Netanyahu, but it's clear if you follow the accounts of the meeting and now the report in the London Times, he gave them the green light.
Now, it seems obvious to me that the Israeli forces are going to attack Gaza.
Gallant was in fact confirming that.
I saw some videos this morning of him promising the troops that they are currently looking at Gaza from the outside.
They would soon see it from the inside.
I can only imagine, by the way, how many IDF forces are going to be annihilated as they attempt to take Gaza.
They will pay probably a very heavy price for attempting to do so.
But in the bigger picture, and I'd like your opinion on this, but this looks to me like These events have been engineered in order to allow Netanyahu to steal the Gaza Strip from the Palestinian people.
I mean, this is just a land grab that is decorated up as a justification for ethnic cleansing, in my opinion.
What's your take on it?
Oh, that's correct, Mike.
It's very clear.
All the indications are Netanyahu knew that Hamas was going to attack And let it happen so that he could solve all his domestic problems.
He's under criminal indictment and prosecution right now.
This judicial reform, deformed, massive demonstrations, reservists not reporting for duty or resigning or whatever.
So this solves all of his domestic problems.
And then number two, Mike, we have to understand, going back to the Baal Conference of 1897, of the first Zionist Conference, their agenda has always been the Zionists.
They want all of Palestine with no Palestinians.
So, what we have seen was the Nakba of 1948.
About three quarters of a million were expelled.
Then came the Naxa in 1967.
About 400,000 were expelled.
And let me interrupt, though.
I'm sorry, but...
Let me finish the point, though.
Okay.
So now I'm agreeing with you.
We will see ethnic cleansing of the Gazans, and the Zionists will eliminate another 2 million Palestinians.
They will drive them into the Sinai.
And...
Next Occupy, call it what you want, Gaza.
They will take it.
The West Bank will be next.
Right.
We're already seeing Israeli military attacks, these violent paramilitary racist settlers going berserk right now.
Right.
Many of the people in the West, especially watching Western corporate media, they think that Israel has been just living in peace, you know, planting flowers and watching honeybees and that out of nowhere that Hamas carried out acts of terrorism completely unprovoked.
And although there is no excuse for killing civilians, of course, and those acts of killing, we denounce them wholeheartedly.
But there is a history to this.
You mentioned the Nakba, the catastrophe, 1948.
You used the word displacement, and that's why I wanted to jump in and add that, of course, I think even our audience knows as well, that was a slaughter of Palestinian people.
Many of them were killed.
Their homes were stolen.
Their families were forced at gunpoint to be relocated to the current Gaza Strip area and some other areas.
But That alone, if that were to happen anywhere else in the world, it would have been called a kind of ethnic cleansing, would it not?
Yes, as a matter of fact, Mike, I did argue genocide and ethnic cleansing for the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina before the International Court of Justice In their genocide lawsuit against Yugoslavia, which was my idea, my recommendation to their president, Izabedovic.
And in that capacity, I single-handedly won two world court orders for Bosnia against Yugoslavia to cease and desist all acts of genocide, ethnic cleansing, etc.
against the Bosnians.
This is the first time ever that any lawyer or government had won two orders in one World Court lawsuit since the World Court was founded in 1921.
So I've been through this before, yes.
Is there any hope for legal intervention, world court intervention, or even diplomatic intervention right now to halt this attack on Gaza before it escalates out of hand and involves a regional war?
Well, I was just on Iranian television, national TV, two nights ago recommending that Iran sue Israel for genocide.
Before the International Court of Justice seek an emergency hearing and temporary restraining order.
And I have advocated to the Palestinian leadership that they do the same.
But so far, it hasn't happened.
What can I say?
Right.
We seem to be floating along in an ocean of rage and everybody calling for war.
I've seen conservative media in particular go all out cheerleading, genocide, cheerleading the bombing of hospitals.
It's been very disturbing to me as someone who tends to have more conservative principles.
For example, I'd like your opinion on this, but most conservatives say they are pro-life.
And yet, when it comes to Palestinian lives, they want to bomb the pregnant women and abort their babies with IDF airstrikes.
So they don't believe in the principle of pro-life.
They only believe in it selectively, which means it's not a principle.
What are your thoughts on the hypocrisy we're seeing from conservative media on this issue?
Well, I'm not here to criticize conservatives, but yeah, you have to be consistently pro-life, as I see it.
And under the current circumstances, That requires an immediate ceasefire, which, as you know, yesterday the Biden administration vetoed at the UN Security Council.
That's right.
That's what we need.
We need an immediate ceasefire.
Then we need massive humanitarian medical supplies to the people of Gaza.
Then we can negotiate the hostages on both sides right now.
Israel has 6,000 Palestinians in their jails, most of whom are being kept there in violation of the Fort Geneva Convention of 1949, which is a war crime.
So that would be the normal, logical way to proceed here, Mike.
First, a ceasefire, immediate, no invasion.
Second, humanitarian relief supplies.
And then third, negotiation over the hostages.
And then when that was taken care of, perhaps there could be negotiations over the bigger problem.
So, at the time we're recording this, the attack on Gaza has not yet begun.
Many people thought it would have begun even five or six days ago.
Why do you think there has been a delay, if you agree with that characterization?
Why hasn't it happened yet?
Well, I think it is clear from what happened yesterday that That Netanyahu wanted Biden to buy into this, to the slaughter.
And so we had the bombing of the Christian hospital just before Biden arrived.
I don't think that was an accident or a coincidence.
Talking about Ali.
Biden showed up and he bought into it, hook, line and sinker.
Likewise, Sunak was just there.
He just bought into it.
So I think Netanyahu wanted to make sure that Biden was fully committed to all the bloodshed and the UK as well.
And, you know, Schulz in Germany, Macron have also supported this.
What do you make of the fact that Putin, whose Russia submitted to the United Nations the proposal for a ceasefire and negotiations in a two-state solution, and that was shot down, but what do you make of Putin's announcement that he has hypersonic missiles within range of striking U.S. aircraft carriers that are in the Mediterranean Sea right now?
Was that a threat?
Striking aircraft carriers?
What is the U.S. putting at risk by being there with such naval forces?
The Eisenhower and their crew of 5,000 sailors and Marines and the Ford are sitting ducks.
If somehow, I don't know, President Putin so far has played a very constructive role in trying to mediate On both sides here.
And also his introduction of the resolution calling for a ceasefire.
But Russia has substantial military forces in Syria.
Already there is a de facto war between Israel and Syria and Hezbollah in Syria and Iran in Syria.
And Russia could very easily get sucked into this.
I do not believe that Putin wants to, but he's going to have to protect his own forces if this whole thing blows up.
And yes, we Americans must understand the Ford and their crew and the Eisenhower and their crew are sitting ducks.
Moreover, we have to understand right now, today, in my opinion, There are very powerful Iranian anti-ship weapons in Lebanon and perhaps in Syria, either under the control of Hezbollah or Iran or both.
So they will be sitting ducks.
And the Biden people know this.
They don't really care.
Yeah, I wonder about the motivation of Biden in all of this, but let's talk about Iran for a moment, because Iran has missiles that can reach Tel Aviv, for example.
Or rockets, however some people use the terms interchangeably, but perhaps that's not entirely correct.
But what do you suppose Iran is thinking of doing should Israel attack Gaza and go in with the full ground force?
Will Iran attempt to stay out of this, or will they get involved in a more kinetic way?
As I said, based on what happened in 2006, Certainly, Hezbollah will come to the defense of the Palestinians in Gaza.
But I think the broader agenda of the Biden administration is to take out Iran.
Right now, I do not believe Iran militarily wants to get directly involved.
But it is clear this has been the Zionist, neoconservative agenda for quite some time, to take out Iran.
So either there will be a provocation or a false flag or something like that.
And I'm afraid Iran will get involved.
And yes, they can pulverize the civilian population of Israel.
They have intermediate range ballistic missiles that can go that far.
What do you make of the fact that the United Nations is putting out condemnation statements against Israel for repeated bombings of hospitals in Gaza?
51 bombings of hospitals so far in the most recent statement, killing 15 healthcare workers and injuring dozens.
And also, of course, Israeli bombings of water treatment facilities.
You know, rendering much of Gaza a hellhole where even hospitals aren't safe, no water, no food, no electricity.
Why has Israel given a pass on this when, if any other nation did it, they would be condemned?
They've always done this.
Israel is one of the few countries in the world that can actually get away with destroying UN facilities and killing UN personnel.
What can I say?
But here, Mike, I want to put into framework, before we get, we've discussed an invasion, but we have to look at the current bombing campaign in Gaza by Israel.
And here, I want to quote from the 1945 Nuremberg Charter that was our idea.
To prosecute the major Nazi war criminals.
And in the Nuremberg Charter, I won't go through the whole list here, but it says war crimes, quote, wanton destruction of cities, towns or villages, unquote.
That's exactly what What Israel is doing today in Gaza, you just turn on any, I recommend try Al-Zera or Iranian press TV, that you have a more less biased account.
But even the BBC has it all on there.
I mean, just this morning they were bombing southern Gaza.
So we have to understand, under the Nuremberg Charter, these are Nazi war crimes.
That Israel is already inflicting on the people of Gaza.
And I would add acts of genocide.
And here, Mike, let me quote for you the 1948 Genocide Convention, to which the United States government is a party.
And we have domestic implementing legislation making genocide a crime for any US government officials to engage in.
And Israel is a part of the Genocide Convention as well.
So let me read for you Article 2A, killing members of the group.
2B, causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group.
And 2c.
This is especially the case for Gaza.
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.
We've already heard Israeli officials say no food, no water, no medical supplies.
Yes.
Well, that's deliberate infliction of conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction.
And then the bombing campaign, which I've already pointed out, goes back.
It's a Nazi war crime, the bombing campaign.
What's extraordinary to me, I mean, thank you for going through that, and we'd love to hear more details from you, but what's extraordinary to me is how overtly now Israeli political leaders, officials, and even influencers and journalists advocate for these war crimes as you just described.
It's openly being advocated now, the extermination of the Palestinian people, the bombing of civilians, the destruction of infrastructure.
And then there are very disturbing contradictions.
For example, Israel bombs sections of Gaza into rubble and then orders Palestinians to evacuate when they cannot evacuate and then bombs them when they try to evacuate.
That is why evacuating refugees have been killed, many of them.
You know, 70 was one number I heard.
This also seems like another layer of war crimes that would not be tolerated if any other country were doing it.
Am I wrong about that?
You're right.
Israel has been able to get away with this because it has the...
Supported the United States government, and that's why they're able to do this now.
They've done it repeatedly in Gaza.
They did it when they invaded Lebanon in 1982.
They exterminated 25,000 Arabs, just blew them away with the full support of the The Reagan administration, including the massacred Sabra and Shatia, where 3,000 Palestinian babies, children, women, and old men were just murdered.
I represented some of the women who were next of kin, suing the Israeli general in charge of that, Yerom, but the Reagan administration Wow.
So it seems...
First of all, what you're relaying here is absolutely extraordinary, and for a lot of Americans, this is the first time that they're hearing of this.
So if anything...
The events of October 7th, as much as we condemn the tactics, and of course we condemn the innocent slaughter of civilians no matter where they are, this has brought to light now a lot of issues about the history of Israel's brutality.
And occupation, dislocation, crimes against innocent civilians and Palestinians.
And as much as I've received personally threats from Israelis for daring to say these things, I've also received a lot of thanks from Americans who are of Palestinian ethnic origins who are saying, thank God somebody is willing to start speaking out about our struggle and what we have been through.
Do you get that kind of That polarized reaction as well?
Oh, sure.
I entered Harvard in September 1971, ardently supporting the Palestinians back in the days when everyone treated them like lepers, including at Harvard, where they're still treated like lepers today.
And since that time, Zionists have Accused me of being everything but a child molester and have treated me according.
I've been blackballed, blacklisted and censored out of the entire legal profession here in the United States of America.
Yes.
And yet I see you, Dr.
Boyle, as someone who simply is standing for humanitarian principles in a universal way.
I'm sure you nor I, we don't condone the tactics of Hamas or any sort of killing of civilians.
We're talking about basic humanitarian principles.
People have a right...
They have a right to have access to basic water and food.
They have a right to live in their own homes and to defend their own homes against those who are trying to murder them, it seems.
Go ahead.
Well, I believe I was the first person to teach international human rights law to undergraduates at Harvard.
1977-78.
I was not the first person to teach it at Harvard.
That was my teachers at Harvard Law School.
And then I came here, and after about seven or eight years, was able to convince the faculty to let me move over from teaching criminal law to international human rights law.
And I've taught it ever since, every year.
And I've practiced it myself, sure.
Alright, let's talk about the energy dynamic in all of this.
Is it your view that U.S. support of Israel for all these years is something of making Israel a proxy of the U.S. empire in order to assert influence and control over the Middle Eastern region in order to secure energy supplies?
Or in your view, what's the tie between energy and what we're seeing right now?
That is definitely a factor.
In my opinion, the United States and the European states after the Second World War supported the creation of the State of Israel as a Western colonial imperial outpost to control and dominate the entire Middle East, including its fantastic energy supplies and They have done that ever since, yes.
Then considering the risk of escalation of this current conflict, aren't we looking at the potential for an OPEC energy embargo like we saw in, I believe it was 73, but I'm not sure.
But if OPEC bans the export of energy, including liquid natural gas, wouldn't that be devastating to Western economies, specifically Western Europe?
Well, as you know, Iran has called for an oil embargo.
I don't think OPEC wants to do that between you and me.
Most of these Arab leaders are rotten and corrupt and in the pockets of the United States and the British.
But if war breaks out, a general war, we will see bloodshed, violence, genocide, ethnic cleansing, From the Mediterranean all the way down to the Arabian Sea.
And this is going to disrupt a massive disruption of oil supplies to Europe and China for sure.
So whether OPEC wants it or not, you have to recall after the last...
Arab oil embargo, the 73 war by OPEC, Henry Kissinger publicly threatened the Arab leaders and say, if you ever do this again, we will attack you and invade you.
And also the Carter administration secretary of defense said the same thing.
That is why then we built the U.S. Central Command.
The US Central Command is there to control and dominate the Middle East oil fields and gas as well.
So this whole region could blow up and have a dramatic impact on the price and supply of oil.
Well, it strikes me that Conditions in the West couldn't be worse for the risk of an oil embargo or even just supply chain problems because under the Biden administration, of course, we've seen a sharp reduction in We're good to
You've seen Germany suffer severe economic consequences from a lack of energy.
Also, similar things in the UK and France and other countries there, even Poland.
So at this moment in history, at this time, an energy embargo would be more painful seemingly than any other time in perhaps decades.
Do you agree with that assessment, or what are your thoughts?
Yes, I mean, we're already, because of the war between NATO and Russia over Ukraine, we've already experienced severe disruptions in the supply of oil and gas.
This will multiply that by 100 between you and me.
So what I'm trying to do is see about, let's connect these dots.
If Israel moves on Gaza, it sets in motion a chain of events that could very well lead to incredibly high inflationary pressures on food and consumer goods and transportation across Western Europe and the United States due to the inevitable increases in energy prices resulting from potential embargoes, but also Iran alone can dominate the Strait of Hormuz.
Just as one nation, it can block a significant portion of liquid natural gas, for example.
But is this sequence of events, does this make sense as a real risk?
Of course, Mike, and indeed, it could be worse than that.
This sequence of events with Russian troops and Russian naval forces in Syria...
Could lead to World War III. So it could be far beyond just disruption of oil and gas supplies.
That's why President Putin raised the issue about his missiles, as you previously pointed out.
I don't think Russia wants to get involved, but their forces are right there.
And right now they have a deconfliction agreement With Israel?
Well, how's that going to hold out if all of a sudden the Syrian and Iranian Hezbollah forces in Syria fight back once Hezbollah has entered this war?
Right.
So we could see, indeed, as you know, Israel did shoot down a Russian plank.
A failure of the deconfliction.
So it's an extremely volatile, dangerous situation.
If you go back and read Barbara Tuchman's Guns of August, we could be in a similar situation where this chain of events that you talked about Could lead to a third world war.
It really has to be stopped.
We must have an immediate ceasefire now.
We have no idea what the consequences would be.
What if an Iranian or Hezbollah anti-ship weapon hits the Ford or the Eisenhower?
Right.
The consequences would be catastrophic.
Or if the US Navy Carries out a false flag attack on one of its own ships, Gulf of Tonkin style, in order to escalate.
Well, I'm not saying the U.S. Navy, but certainly Israel could pull off a false flag just like they did in 1967 when they attacked our naval ship, Liberty, and almost destroyed it.
And I say that because for a period of time, I was pro bono counsel for the Liberty Veterans.
No kidding.
Clearly a deliberate attack by Israel to set off a false flag against, to get the United States directly involved in that war.
And I regret to report, Mike, that despite my best efforts, Because of the Zionist control and domination of the United States government and the U.S. court system, I could not get anything for the Liberty veterans.
And I regret to say those naval veterans will go to their graves unvindicated because of the power of the Zionist lobby and forces and media here in the United States of America.
So this could very well happen again, yes.
That is extraordinarily sad to hear, but I'm glad you've been involved in so many of these important human rights cases with some victories and some losses.
Let me ask you about this idea of a two-front war.
We saw Janet Yellen just the other day announce that America can certainly afford a two-front war when I'm looking at the debt numbers and thinking America can't afford a one-front war.
America can't afford America right now.
America can't afford anything.
But a two-front war, perhaps the neocons are trying to draw Russia into a two-front war, but doesn't it seem more likely that the U.S. is going to have a lot more difficulty funding and also manufacturing munitions, for example, for a two-front war, given the loss of the industrial base of the United States over the last several decades?
What are your thoughts?
Right, Mike, as you know, tonight President Biden is going on television to make an address asking for $100 billion to support the two-front war.
The problem is the two-front war could easily emerge into a one-front war with Russia being involved both up in Ukraine and NATO, and then Russia is in Syria now as we speak.
Where Israel just yesterday attacked Syria.
So this could all merge into World War III. And you're not the only person saying that.
I'm seeing similar assessments from many other level-headed people out there.
This risk is very real.
And yet at every stage, Israel is escalating, for example, by promising to go in and attack Gaza instead of backing off and seeking diplomatic solutions.
The U.S. is clearly escalating.
And right now, as odd as it may sound, the most level-headed actors at this moment who are providing humanitarian support are China and Russia.
I mean, I... China, the President Xi just called today...
For a ceasefire and negotiations, yes.
Well, of course, you know, China gets enormous quantities of oil and gas from Iran and through the Persian Gulf.
So it's not that they're completely uninterested here.
But they have taken a principled stand.
Russia has taken a principled stand.
Unfortunately, both Biden and Sunak, it appears, and Solz and Macron have given Netanyahu a green light to invade Gaza and set all this off.
It almost sounds like a horrifyingly bad joke.
Three suicide bombers walk into a bar, Biden, Sunak, and Netanyahu.
It's like they want to detonate.
This into the biggest escalation they possibly can.
What do you suppose...
What kind of thinking is happening in the minds of Netanyahu and Biden, if we can even give him that much credit?
What are they telling themselves, in your view, about this that justifies their actions?
Well, Mike...
Having been involved in opposing these people for many years, starting with the Reagan administration, we have seen the infiltration of the State Department, the Department of Defense, and the CIA by a coterie of Zionist neocon warmongers.
And that is what has been influencing our Foreign policy since then.
After eight years of Reagan, they were thoroughly entrenched in state defense and the CIA. It's this mentality that we are dealing with.
And I think you are familiar with the philosophy of the Zionist neocons, both in Ukraine, Newland there.
And, you know, in the Middle East, sure.
Yeah, Newland is...
Newland is now the acting Deputy Secretary of State.
And Biden knows, he put her there.
And let me say this, we had the U.S. Secretary of State Blinken go over to Israel and say, I'm appearing here as a Jew.
Right, he did say that.
I mean, that's just atrocious.
And we saw a member of Congress show up in IDF uniform.
Saying that...
The Jews are now in control of American foreign policy.
You know, when Kissinger was Secretary of State dealing with the Middle East, he knew he was Jewish, but he never ran around saying anything about being Jewish.
He did what he could do pursuant to Nixon's instruction.
And yet now, Blinken has made it clear To the Arab and Muslim world that it's the Jews and the American government against Palestinians and Muslims.
We're dealing here with Huntington's clash of civilizations.
That's the way Blinken and Biden have put it.
And I say that because I went through the same I had a PhD program at Harvard that produced Huntington before me.
And at that time, many of us refused to study with Huntington as a matter of principle because of his diehard support for the Vietnam War.
But we had to read everything we had to say.
Well, Blinken phrased and framed this entire matter as a clash of civilizations.
Wow.
Well, extending this thought of this clash of civilizations, the Biden administration, including Newland, who you mentioned, who I would characterize as truly a genocidal person, clearly wants the ethnic cleansing of those of Russian ethnicity.
They have miscalculated grossly in the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
They have been horribly wrong.
And Ukraine is losing dramatically.
Its so-called counteroffensive failed utterly.
And Ukraine has essentially run out of resources and will never retake its land militarily from Russia.
And the Donbass region already voted several sections to join Russia anyway.
What are your thoughts on whether the neocon Zionists, as you've described them, are also miscalculating over Israel?
And is it possible, this is the big question, that Israel could unleash a set of actions that would lead to the ending of Israel in the Middle East because of their miscalculations?
You're correct.
Newland and the neocons have used the Ukrainians as cannon fodder against Russia to attack Russia, break Russia up into its constituent units, and exploit those constituent units to the extent they can.
It's the same group of people here Who are now using Israel as their cannon fodder as well.
And I regret to say if all this happens, sure, Israel could become defunct.
Yes, and we'll see massive death and destruction for the citizens of Israel.
But look, Mike.
They didn't care about the Ukrainians, did they?
No.
No, they did not.
They didn't have diddly-squat about the Ukrainians.
Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians are now dead.
And in a failed venture, as you correctly pointed out, there could be hundreds of thousands of dead Israelis, too.
But they don't really care.
It's their geopolitical perspectives.
The The Middle East is the prize.
It's all that oil and gas there in the ground.
So, sure.
So, in this worst case scenario for Israel, it could be that the Israeli people become the refugees displaced from what they now consider to be their land.
You know, Israel is a country surrounded by an ocean of Arabs.
Who are actually being brought together, it seems, more and more, because of the atrocities that Israel is committing in Gaza.
For example, the bombing of the Al-Ali hospital, although I know opinions differ on who's responsible for that, but the Arab world believes that Israel bombed that hospital and Israel has bombed the Al-Quds hospital and, of course, 51 other strikes on hospitals, so it's not inconceivable that Israel bombed that hospital.
But they've united the Arab world in many ways that I think Westerners thought would be impossible.
Your thoughts?
I would encourage everyone today to look at your Brideon article on the bombing of that hospital.
It's excellent.
Thank you.
You have all the facts in there that Israel clearly was responsible for the bombing.
I suspect, again, it was done to make sure that Biden was fully bought in to all the bloodshed and the killing.
You are also right about the surrounding Arab states.
It appears from the reports, Blinken has gone around to all these surrounding Arab states with supporting the Israeli plan that the two million Gazans will be ethnically cleansed, displaced into the Sinai Desert.
They'll be put in camps there and then dispersed throughout the Arab world.
The problem is President el-Sisi, he's a bloodthirsty dictator, but he's made it clear he's not interested in doing that.
I don't know how he can prevent it.
The only way he could prevent it is to move the Egyptian army up to the border of Gaza, but he's prohibited from doing that under the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty.
So if Netanyahu goes ahead with these plans, that could jeopardize the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty.
Likewise in Jordan, King Abdullah, when he was appraised of these plans, was shocked.
And he doesn't want anything to do with this either.
But again, Netanyahu and these diehard religious fundamentalist settlers in his government, they want to expel the West Bank Palestinians into Jordan.
And their position, the Likud position, Netanyahu, their position has always been Jordan is Palestine.
And that will completely destabilize Jordan.
Half their population is Palestinian.
So you could have a breakdown of both the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty and the Jordanian-Israeli peace treaty as well.
No one wants to see that.
These things could happen, sure.
Now these actions that we're talking about today, and I greatly appreciate your time, we're going to wrap this up in a few minutes, but also your courage in your humanitarian point of view, which is very unpopular today as I've also found.
But these actions that are being taken by Israel and the United States, which are indeed escalatory actions, no question about it, these actions have placed all of us, all of us who are Americans, all Christians, and all Jews in harm's way worldwide.
In fact, the U.S. State Department has issued a worldwide travel advisory.
I have it on my screen here.
It's a caution.
Just issued worldwide caution for all U.S. citizens to be prepared for the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations, or violent actions against U.S. citizens.
This would not be happening if it were not for the actions of Israel.
So Israel has put a target on all our backs, even if we disagree with Israel's policies.
You're correct.
They know what's coming.
They know this war is coming.
And that Americans all over the world, certainly the Arab-Muslim world, will be in jeopardy.
Our military personnel, our bases, we have over 800 bases around the world.
Our diplomats and our consular officials, yes.
And I also want to commend you by pointing out the Christian population in Palestine.
People lose sight of this fact.
But there is a very substantial Christian population in Palestine, and they have been persecuted too by the Israeli Zionists to drive them out.
So they are at risk as well, sure.
Yeah, I mean, the most notable hospital strike was a Baptist hospital in Gaza.
That's the Al-Ali hospital.
And I also find it interesting, I'll just point this out, that then after that, Israel came up with what they called an intercepted audio conversation that they claimed proved that the jihadis launched a rocket.
And yet they tell us they had a total intelligence failure on October 7th and couldn't have intercepted anything and were completely surprised.
So it strikes me that Israel's intelligence only works when they magically want it to.
Well, I mean, you've debunked their propaganda, their Hasbara on the hospital bombings.
I couldn't do a better job than what's on your website today.
Well, thank you for that.
I wasn't aware that you'd read that, but I appreciate that.
I was up late writing that article.
And credit goes to informationliberation.com.
Also, Chris Minahan originally turned me on to that.
Now, Dr.
Boyle, in the few minutes we have left, wrapping this up, what else would you like to convey that I haven't asked you or that I have missed?
Yes, let me say this.
I served as legal advisor to Chairman Yasser Arafat and the Palestine Liberation Organization on the Palestinian Declaration of Independence of November 15, 1988.
It was my idea.
And in that Declaration of Independence, the Palestinians in their Palestine National Council, which represented Palestinians all over the world, Officially accepted a two-state solution.
They officially accepted it and attempted to negotiate a two-state solution with Israel ever since November 15, 1988.
I've been involved in these negotiations.
I have monitored them.
And the truth is, I never saw one iota of good faith.
Even worse, the United States government and the Zionist officials in the State Department for all those years have always sided with Israel against the Palestinians.
And they have always been Israel's lawyers.
Against the Palestinians.
And they have lied, threatened, bullied and intimidated the Palestinians who have attempted, in good faith, to establish a two-state solution.
Regretfully, we are where we are today.
Do you think a two-state solution is ever possible from this point forward?
If Netanyahu goes and invades Gaza, All bets for all people over there, Israelis and Palestinians, Muslims, Christians and Jews will be off.
I have indeed, several of the Israeli leaders have said this, we'll be seeing a completely different Middle East.
It'll be rubble and ruins all over, except the oil and gas will still be there underground.
And at some point, the Western energy companies will be able to pump out that oil and gas.
Okay, one final question, if you don't mind.
I know you teach economics, among other things, correct?
No, I don't teach.
Well, I teach all aspects of international law and international relations.
I also have a, as I said, a Ph.D., Really?
Center for International Affairs.
It was kind of spooky for a year.
Well, Well, I ask you that because I believe that Western leaders are also not anticipating the domestic U.S. implications of rising prices of food and rent and transportation because we are already with record crime.
Shoplifting is shutting down retail operations across the United States.
Fuel prices are rising even now, even before Israel attacks Gaza.
But it seems like that rising energy prices will be strongly correlated with civil unrest across the United States of America.
Would you agree with that?
Yes, for sure.
And we could see this increase, yes.
Well, I guess we all had better prepare and pray.
Last thing, what do you think the American people should do right now to try to de-escalate this?
Right now, the only thing that might help is people power.
The Americans taking to the streets in peaceful, nonviolent resistance and demanding an immediate ceasefire.
Okay.
That's the only alternative we have now as I see it.
All right.
Well, we join you in that.
And we ask all those watching to join us in calling for peace, calling for a ceasefire, calling for diplomatic solutions rather than just incessant bombing of infrastructure and civilians.
That is not going to be the answer.
And it will blow back on all of us if we don't stop this.
We are not insulated from this just because it's so far away.
Thank you, Dr.
Boyle, for your courage and your thoughts here.
We really appreciate your input.
Well, again, Mike, thanks very much for having me on.
You're very welcome, sir.
Have a wonderful day.
We'll talk again soon, and feel free to reach out to us at any time.
Goodbye.
And thank all of you for watching today.
Again, I call for peace.
I call for de-escalation.
And I am a humanitarian, principled person.
I believe in the pro-humanity rights of people, even if they are of different religion or different ethnicity or speak a different language.
It doesn't matter to me.
I have found that I'm somewhat...
Isolated into having actual principles rather than pretending to have principles that are only invoked when they are convenient for particular tribes.
So thank you for watching.
Feel free to share this interview everywhere you can.
Please do so.
Repost it, support it, promote it, and support Dr.
Boyle's work and his voice as well.
Thank you for watching today.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.com.
Take care, everybody.
So did you learn some things there that you did not know?
I certainly did.
I've been learning a lot these last couple of weeks.
A lot about history.
Some of it highly, highly disturbing about the history of conflict between Israel and Palestine, about the founding of Israel.
And the suffering of the Palestinian people in particular as they have been subjected to what Dr.
Francis Boyle calls Nazi war crimes.
And he doesn't mean that in a flippant kind of way.
It's not a slur.
He's saying that Israel is committing war crimes against the Palestinian people That were specifically named and outlawed in reaction to what the Nazis did to the Jews and, well, the Poles and other population groups as well.
So, again, when Dr.
Boyle says that Israel is committing Nazi war crimes, he means they're committing war crimes that the Nazis committed themselves and that were specifically named in the Nuremberg Code.
And called out as unacceptable crimes against humanity.
So when we say that Israel is carrying out war crimes against Palestinians that are the same kind of war crimes that the Third Reich carried out against the Jews during the Holocaust, that is a factual statement.
That is not hyperbole.
Nor is it exaggeration.
Even looking at the founding of Israel, 1948, the so-called Nakba, which is known as the catastrophe or the cataclysm.
So this was when, it's also known as the Arab-Israeli war.
This is when Israelis came into Palestine and they slaughtered Arabs, Palestinians.
They slaughtered them.
They stole their homes.
They kicked in doors.
They shot the men.
They kidnapped women and children.
They forcefully moved them away from their land and their homes.
They put them into camps in what eventually became the Gaza Strip.
And the Israelis stole their land.
They stole their land and they killed the people.
And then Israel declared this land that they had stolen to be Israeli land.
That's real history.
That's 1948.
That's not even being debated.
Even Israel does not debate this founding of modern-day Israel.
They came in and they murdered Arabs and they stole their land.
And they did so by committing atrocities against the Palestinian people.
That is a statement of fact.
Now, what I find especially important in all of this, and I support groups like Jews Against Genocide, by the way.
So I stand with Jewish people when they are opposed to genocide.
And there's a website, for example, called jewishvoiceforpeace.org.
And they have an article about the Nakba, about genocide, ethnic cleansing, and another Nakba in Palestine.
And just for the record, even though I've been very critical of the actions of Israel's government and Israel's military lately, I'm sure you know this about me, but I have no specific offense to Against people of Israel or people who are Jews or those who worship Judaism and so on I mean,
you know, I've talked about this many times Many of the people that I have known the best in my adult years have been Israelis because I trained for many years in the Israeli martial arts known as Krav Maga and there are Israeli men who taught me some of the best survival skills that I currently know and And, of course, some of them are 100% on board with actual genocide against Palestine, unfortunately, but others are not.
And specifically, one friend I have from Israel from many years ago, his name is Eyal, or E-Y-A-L.
I think you would tend to pronounce it Eyal, but some people say Eyal.
Eyal told me from his heart how much he loved Israel, but he had to leave Israel because he could not stand the hate that was being taught by the Israeli government and the Israeli military, and he went through compulsory military but he had to leave Israel because he could not stand the hate that was being taught by the Israeli And during that process, he said it was endless brainwashing of hatred, hate, hate, hate.
And so it's especially rich, by the way, when groups like the ADL, the Anti-Defamation League, say, if you disagree with Zionism, then you are an anti-Semite organization.
Or if you have any critical comments about Israel's actions or policies, then that's anti-Semitism.
Even to oppose Israel's war crimes today is being labeled anti-Semitism.
And that's not true at all.
There are a great number of Israeli people and a great number of Jews who do want to live in peace.
In fact, I would say it's the majority of Jews who want to live in peace, frankly.
Although emotions are running high right now for all the obvious reasons, but this one site, jewishvoiceforpeace.org, they say, this edition of The Wire comes to you with more urgency than we have ever felt.
The Israeli government has declared a genocidal war on Palestinians in Gaza, a new level of crisis.
Now, remember, these are Jewish voices writing this, okay?
Israeli officials are openly planning to open the gates of hell on Gaza Referring to the two million Palestinians trapped inside as human animals.
The Israeli military has launched non-stop airstrikes and bombing over Gaza.
Our partners tell us of entire neighborhoods being flattened, schools and hospitals being bombed, apartment buildings being brought down.
The Israeli government has shut off all electricity to Gaza.
Hospitals cannot save lives.
The internet will collapse.
People will have no phones to communicate with the outside world.
Gaza will be plunged into darkness.
As Israel turns its neighborhoods to rubble.
Still worse, Israel has openly stated an intention to commit mass atrocities and even genocide, with Prime Minister Netanyahu saying the Israeli response will, quote, reverberate for generations.
All of this with the full-throated support of the U.S. On Friday, the Israeli military called for all civilians of northern Gaza, over one million people, including half a million children, to relocate south within 24 hours as it amassed tanks for an expected ground invasion.
According to the UN, it is impossible to evacuate everyone with power supplies cut and food and water in the Palestinian enclave running short after Israel placed Gaza under total siege.
The UN said this invasion would have devastating humanitarian consequences.
For 16 years, Palestinians blockaded in Gaza have lived in the most densely populated place in the world.
That density is set to double if one million Palestinians are pushed from the north into the south.
We shudder to think what will happen if the north is vacated.
Israel could annex the territory.
Another Nakba could be imminent.
Then they write, this is urgent, drop everything.
As Israeli politicians broadcast their intent to commit war crimes and massacres of Palestinians, we need to drop everything and raise our voices as loud as we can.
Take all three actions below to tell Congress and the New York Times, prevent a genocide in Gaza, and we need a ceasefire now.
And then they have links to call Congress, email Congress, write the New York Times.
In this urgent moment, we're channeling our grief and rage into action to stop this march to war.
Join us daily for JVP's Power Half Hours for Gaza at 3 p.m.
Eastern, 12 p.m.
Pacific time, as we gather in solidarity and take collective action.
So, that's their message.
Now, I've never had contact with this group.
I don't know anything about this group.
I don't know politically where they stand, and it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter to me politically left or right or independent.
What matters to me in this moment are the principles, the humanitarian principles upon which sustainable human civilization must be founded and well grounded.
Without those principles, we are all lost.
Without those principles, whatever war happens in the Middle East will eventually subsume us all.
None of us can escape The ravages of war if we behave as warlike genocidal animals ourselves.
This is our response to what Hamas did, which are acts of terrorism against Israeli civilians.
But our response to those despicable acts of unrelenting violence will define our future.
And we will have to live in that future that we create based on our response to what happened on October 7th.
Should we choose war, we will be destroyed by it.
Should we choose peace, then we have a sustainable future together.
And right now, what gravely concerns me is that Israel, its government, Netanyahu in particular, but others, Gallant, The IDF and the United States under Biden have all chosen war.
And as you heard from my interview there with Dr.
Francis Boyle, it is almost certain that the United States and Israel have overzealously miscalculated their strength in this war.
It is highly likely that events are about to unfold that could very well lead to the destruction of Israel And the displacement of millions of Israelis.
Now, I know this is going to be a horrific scene to even imagine, but imagine millions of Israelis being driven out of present-day Israel, driven to the Sinai Peninsula to live in tents in the desert, i.e., you know, biblical roaming the desert for 40 years.
That could very well happen.
Because Israel refuses to seek peace.
And that's why those who care about Israel are calling for peace.
Those who care about Jews are calling for peace.
The voices who are calling for war are the ones putting Jews in harm's way.
And putting Christians in harm's way and putting Americans in harm's way.
In fact, let me bring it up.
A new travel advisory issued by the State Department.
Worldwide caution issued.
Just go to travel.state.gov if you want to check it out.
Here it is.
Quote, The Department of State advises US citizens overseas to exercise increased caution.
You see?
I can't remember a time when such a warning was issued by the State Department.
Perhaps it has in the past, but I can't remember a time when this happened.
Maybe it was around, you know, 9-11 or something.
But this is extremely rare.
And notable and it is a sign of just how dangerous the situation has been made by those who are supporting war and who are supporting genocide and who are supporting the ethnic cleansing, the war crimes.
And these group of people, the leaders, you heard Dr.
Francis Boyle call them Zionist neocon warmongers.
That's the label.
That's the phrase that he used to describe them.
And he included Victoria Nuland in that, by the way, which I believe she should be included in that group because that's an accurate description of what kind of creature she is.
Zionist neocon warmongers, they want war, and they care not who suffers and who dies.
They don't care about how many Palestinians die, we already know that for sure, but they also don't care about how many Jews die.
They don't care about how many Israelis die, nor how many Americans die.
They want terrorism.
They want a regional war that engulfs more and more nations, including Iran.
Now, let me bring in something.
I heard from my contact who is from Lebanon today.
And he is a Christian.
And he left Lebanon many years ago, as many Christians did.
Lebanon used to be something like three-quarters Christian.
Did you know that?
But then over the years, it became more and more Muslim and Christians left.
And he reminded me of something.
He said, do not forget that there are many Christians in Gaza.
It's not a majority, not even by a long shot.
It's a percentage.
But there are many Christians in Gaza.
And in fact, the Al-Ali hospital that was clearly bombed by a sophisticated guided bomb with an airburst, which Hamas does not possess, That hospital is a Baptist hospital.
So it is, in essence, a Christian hospital.
And there is a Christian population in Gaza, which means that Israel, through its unrelenting bombing of residential buildings, hospitals, mosques, universities, schools, clinics, water treatment facilities, apartment complexes, and so on, Israel is committing genocide against Christians.
In Gaza.
Not just against Muslims.
So for those of you listening who may be Christian, I ask you the question that I asked at the beginning.
Are you on the right side of history?
When this is all said and done, will you be able to face God with your decision of what principles you supported?
Or will you hang your head in shame as the truth comes out about the genocidal war crimes committed against Christians as well as Palestinian Muslims in Gaza?
By Israel committing what Dr.
Francis Boyle refers to as Nazi war crimes.
If you are on the side of supporting Israel's genocide, make no mistake, you are on the side of these Nazi war crimes, by definition, that are being committed incessantly, deliberately, right now, every single day.
And I beg you to reconsider, if that's the side that you are on right now, I beg you to reconsider for your own soul's sake.
Because think about any time in history when there was an oppressor that was committing genocide against the oppressed.
Think about the times like apartheid, when the apartheid elitists imprisoned and enslaved, in essence, the African population in South Africa.
And they committed atrocities against the South Africans under apartheid.
And at the time, there were many, many people who supported the apartheid regime.
Because, of course, they referred to the darker-skinned people as animals, didn't they?
They always dehumanized them.
And they thought that, well, the only way to treat these people is to treat them like animals, and we must be in charge, and we must deprive them of their human rights, and we decide what they're allowed to have access to, and so on.
And we keep them in poverty.
We keep them...
We're de-educated.
We make sure they don't obtain literacy.
We make sure they don't obtain power because they might overthrow us if they do.
That was the apartheid regime.
And today, if you supported the apartheid regime as it existed, today you would hang your head in shame.
You would be ashamed of having done so if you have any humanity whatsoever.
And yet, there are people living today who supported apartheid and who justified it and who committed genocide against Blacks in South Africa.
And some of those people still think that was the right thing to do.
You do not want to be on their side when history's judgment befalls all of us.
Obviously there are other examples of this.
One example, of course, the Third Reich.
The German citizens at the time, throughout the 1930s, they thought, most of them thought that they were part of something amazing, something, you know, leadership and National pride, a lot of, of course, nationalism.
Far-left national socialism, which is what Nazi stands for.
The Na means national and the Z means socialism, of course, in German.
So the Nazi party was a far-left fascist socialism.
That, of course, designated the Jewish people as being animals, just like apartheid designated the blacks in South Africa.
And after designating them to be filthy animals, they proceeded to carry out genocide against people of Jewish faith.
And again, there were many, many Germans who went along with that.
Many Germans.
Some of them had concentration camps virtually in their own backyards, you know, maybe a few hundred yards away.
Oh, what's that camp over there?
Past the hill there.
Oh, well, that's where they're, you know, cleaning up the place or something.
I don't know what these people told themselves.
But most German citizens went along with this.
And when the truth came out, and when the concentration camps were freed, and the prisoners who were being starved to death, and many had already died, when it was shown the horrific ethnic cleansing, the genocide, the treatment of those prisoners, many Germans, they hung their heads in shame, having now realized what they supported.
Because they were on the wrong side of history.
And I challenge you, because I say that any time you are on the side of the party committing genocide, the party that denies the human right of an entire ethnic group of people, a party that advocates the killing of women and a party that advocates the killing of women and children, the bombing of multiple hospitals, not just the one that people disagree about, Al-Ali, but multiple hospitals.
51 bombings of hospitals or medical facilities in Gaza carried out by the IDF so far.
And that's according to the United Nations.
And people say, well, the United Nations lies.
Yeah, they probably have lied.
It's probably over 100 bombings.
The UN is probably cutting that number in half to try to make it look not as bad as it is.
I agree.
I don't trust the UN numbers.
They're probably far worse.
If you're on the side of the party carrying out those bombings and those acts of genocide, you are on the wrong side of history.
Have no illusions.
Get right with yourself.
Get right with God.
Because one day we will all be judged based on what we advocated, what we defended, and especially, did we speak out for those who have no voice?
Did we speak for the innocent?
Did we speak for the dead?
Did we speak with humanitarian principles in our hearts?
Or did we just go along with what was popular and convenient even though people died by the thousands?
What will you say to yourself one day when this dust settles, which it will one day, when you look in the mirror, what will you say to yourself about where you stood on this?
That's the question I have for all of us today.
I've had a couple of people contact me and say, well, if you don't support Israel's attack on the Palestinians, then I'm not going to shop at Health Ranger's store anymore.
And I said...
That's on you.
That's your decision.
I can live with it either way because my slogan at my online store is healing the world through clean food.
I don't want to sell food to people who advocate genocide.
My slogan is not killing the world through clean food.
It is healing the world by definition.
What I do in commerce is based on humanitarian principles and those principles, ladies and gentlemen, are not for sale.
They cannot be compromised.
They cannot be bought or coerced or threatened.
I do not change those principles whether I'm a billionaire or penniless.
All the wealth in the world matters nothing if you are not a person of principle.
And right now, Israel has warned 24 additional hospitals in Gaza to evacuate, saying that they're going to bomb those 24 hospitals.
That's from the Gaza Ministry of Health.
So if you wondered whether Israel is capable of bombing hospitals, and if you believed the lies from the IDF and the Israeli government who claims, we don't bomb hospitals, oh damn well, yes you do.
You target them.
You bomb them.
You know that you do.
You order the hospitals to evacuate.
And you promise to bomb them.
And then you do bomb them.
And then sometimes you blame jihadis.
Classic atrocity from Israel.
The Israeli government has become a government of obscene lies.
They bomb hospitals and tell you they aren't bombing hospitals.
Gaslighting beyond imagination.
The defense minister of Israel, Joab Gallant, who is clearly a genocidal maniac.
I mean, Joab Gallant really reminds me of some of the worst Nazis in the Third Reich.
He actually, he speaks like a Nazi that can't wait to commit war crimes.
And he told IDF soldiers...
In the last day he said, quote, you are now seeing Gaza from afar.
Soon you will see it from the inside.
The order will soon come.
He's promising the assault on Gaza.
Well, sadly, because of course I support peace, I support diplomacy as you know.
Sadly, I think the speech that he should have given the IDF soldiers is, You are now seeing Gaza from afar.
Soon you will see it from the inside.
And also soon you will see your tombs from the inside.
Because you will be killed in the intense fighting that's about to take place in Gaza.
You will be killed.
How many thousands of IDF soldiers are going to die in this assault on Gaza?
Oh, and I forgot to mention what my Lebanon source told me.
He said the minute Israel attacks Gaza and commits its forces to Gaza, Without question, Hezbollah is going to attack from the north.
And I asked him, I said, with rockets?
Is Hezbollah just going to launch rockets?
They have 150,000 rockets.
He said, no.
No, it will be more than rockets.
It may start with rockets.
But Hezbollah will have no choice but to assault Israeli forces in the north of Israel.
I.e., the south of Lebanon, where Hezbollah is very strong.
I said, why is that?
Why do they have no choice?
He said, because Hezbollah knows that if Israel succeeds in wiping out Hamas in Gaza, that Hezbollah is next.
That the 300,000 reservists that have been called up by the Israeli military to reactivate 300,000 soldiers...
This is not just a fight in Gaza.
You don't need 300,000 soldiers to fight in Gaza.
You need 300,000 soldiers to defend Israel against a multi-front attack from other forces in other directions.
And from the north, that's Hezbollah, very clearly.
And it's not just from the north, because don't forget that Millions of Jordanians are Palestinians.
Because they were, of course, displaced out of their land in Palestine by the Israelis over the years, and many of them fled to Jordan.
And so, they're watching from Jordan, and they are preparing.
And so, an attack on Israel may come from the east.
And of course, there will likely be attacks from within the West Bank as well.
You know, the Palestinian-controlled regions there, the little sections.
And then on top of that, once Israel is fully dedicated to its assault on Gaza, you're very likely to see, of course, forces in Syria get involved.
Remember what I said the other day.
Israel is like a speck of Jews floating in an ocean of Arabs.
And if you're a speck floating in an ocean, try not to piss off the ocean.
Because the ocean can consume you.
There is zero chance of Israel's survival if that ocean of Arabs decides that they want to wipe the planet of Israel.
Zero chance.
The Israelis cannot survive.
And you might say, well, Israel has nukes.
So does Iran.
So does Iran.
There are a lot of countries that have nukes.
Pakistan, for example, also has nukes.
And there are probably other forms of nuclear weapons, you know, suitcase nukes and so on, that are held by perhaps Egypt, perhaps Jordan, Turkey, no doubt.
And in Lebanon, who knows?
It's like a free market bazaar.
You don't know.
There could be nukes in Lebanon or other types of dirty bombs or other weapons that are ready to be deployed against Israel.
You don't know.
I don't know.
The point is, Israel is not the only country that has nuclear weapons, and the moment Israel fires a nuke at, let's say, Damascus, because that's what a lot of people believe will happen biblically, Israel will be overrun.
Israel will be destroyed.
And yet, in this moment right now, the people of Israel, the leaders, Have the ability to de-escalate and seek peace and seek diplomacy and seek coexistence.
And they are forfeiting that option and saying, no, they want war.
They want to commit atrocities.
They want genocide.
And when they declare that position, they announce to the Arab world...
That Israel does not even have the morality that God would think is worth saving.
You see?
Israel is advertising to the rest of the Arab world that Israel has no morals and no ethics and can never be trusted as a neighbor.
Now, I have also interviewed Steve Quayle.
As you might imagine, it's a frightening interview, but it's a bombshell interview.
Steve Quayle believes that the dollar collapse will be accelerated by these events in the Middle East.
Of course, energy embargoes and energy prices and inflation and China dumping treasuries and so on.
And I agree with his assessment.
But in this interview with Steve Quayle, which I will play, I believe, on Sunday.
So watch my channel this weekend on Sunday.
We'll post that.
He said that he thinks we only have weeks remaining before major events begin to take down the Western financial system.
Just weeks.
Not years.
Not even months.
Weeks.
Now, I want to point out, and I might do an entire podcast on this, that Israel's fate is tied to the dollar.
And also Israel's fate is tied to the U.S. military projection of power.
Without the shielding protection of the United States and also without money from the U.S., Israel ceases to exist in the Middle East.
There's no question about that.
You take away all the foreign aid to Israel and you take away those aircraft carriers and you take away the U.S. promise to come to Israel's defense, Israel is overrun in days and it's gone.
So then the question becomes, what is the capability of the United States in terms of defending Israel?
And the answer to that is rather frightening.
First of all, the U.S. military had to retreat from Afghanistan.
The entire U.S. military could not occupy Afghanistan, could not defeat the Taliban.
How do they expect to defeat Hezbollah and Iran and Hamas and the Syrians and the Jordanian militias and whoever else?
How do they expect to defeat all those groups?
Impossible.
Impossible.
The U.S. cannot project such power successfully into the Middle East.
What the U.S. can do is they can use aircraft and they can drop bombs.
Maybe they can bomb more hospitals.
They can bomb military bases.
They can bomb ammo depots.
They can also land a few thousand soldiers here and there who will make no difference whatsoever in the big picture.
The U.S. can supply some ammunition, but most of it's already gone because of Ukraine.
The U.S. can supply some military hardware, but not much for the same reason, because of Ukraine.
Israel is even short of What exactly can the U.S. do other than sit with a couple of aircraft carriers and some destroyers out there in the Mediterranean Sea and just sit there like sitting ducks saying, you know, we dare you to shoot us, which is exactly what Russia may very well do.
That's why Putin said that, by the way, these aircraft carriers are well within range of our Kinzhal hypersonic missiles that are launched from Russian fighter jets, by the way, that are on patrol.
And the Kinzhal missiles are within range, like I said, and so U.S. aircraft carriers could be gone in a flash, in a flash, in a matter of minutes from launch.
The Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, which can carry nuclear warheads, I don't know the yield number on those nuclear warheads, but I know it's larger than Hiroshima.
And I also know that U.S. aircraft carriers have no defenses whatsoever against these hypersonic missiles.
They can't be accurately tracked and they can't be intercepted.
And these hypersonic missiles can also engage in evasive maneuvers.
So they can't be...
Their trajectory is not a ballistic trajectory that can be easily intercepted and predicted.
That's not the way they fly.
They can fly with evasive maneuvers.
And then a Kinzhal hypersonic missile can fly directly overhead.
You know, the USS Ford aircraft carrier, or the Eisenhower, which I believe is the second one that's just arriving now, and detonate, and then there goes the aircraft carrier and all the other ships that happen to be nearby, and it's done.
And then, what is the protection of Israel at that moment?
None.
Israel has no protection from the US. And if there were a nuclear weapon launched against US aircraft carriers, it would inevitably Be followed almost immediately by attacks from Lebanon, from Jordan, from Syria, from Iran.
It would be an all-or-nothing, all-out assault to exterminate Israel from the map.
And that attack would actually succeed.
Israel would be gone.
Do you understand how fragile the situation is?
I hope you see that the U.S. offers very little actual protection to Israel.
Mostly, the U.S. is bluffing.
And for many decades, it has worked.
The world has been afraid of the United States.
Afraid of sanctions.
Well, that day is over.
The U.S. sanctioned Russia, and Russia became stronger.
And now outproduces the United States in terms of military equipment and munitions and so much more.
Tanks, everything.
Anti-aircraft systems, hypersonic missiles, you name it.
Russia is ahead of the United States, even though Russia is a smaller country.
I don't mean geographically, I mean population-wise.
GDP. And then there comes the issue of U.S. fighters, the actual soldiers, boots on the ground.
Well, the U.S. military is all woke.
Snowflakes and soy boys, transgender soldiers.
The assault squad will probably appear in bras and high heels.
Waving LGBT flags and wondering why it's so hard to march in formation.
Meanwhile, Hamas and the Palestinian people, they are not woke.
They don't believe in transgenderism.
They're not waving LGBT flags.
They're fighting for their very survival.
And they have been hardened over years of survival training called everyday life in Gaza.
They're like Kyle Reese from the Terminator movies.
Whereas American soldiers are 70% obese or overweight, weak, hyper-privileged, complacent, not well-trained.
What will their effectiveness be?
Not much.
Now I know that description doesn't apply to all soldiers, just for the record.
You know I'm a supporter of our active duty, but especially our veterans.
The veterans that I know never would have been part of some snowflake woke military, and they are outraged at it, by the way.
The veterans that I know, the U.S. Marines, the Special Forces, the Navy SEALs, they're hardcore dudes.
They wouldn't put up with that crap.
They can fight.
They can even fight in their older age.
But the younger generation, they really can't.
Because everything's been too easy for them.
They've become complacent and obese.
So you know the old military adage, fire and maneuver, fire and maneuver.
You know, these days the soldiers would be like, well, we fired, sir, but we're too fat to maneuver, so bring over the infantry fighting vehicle so we can load up and drag ass to the next location, and we'll fire from there.
We can't do it on foot, sir.
Sadly, that's the younger generation of America's military today.
It's true.
Now, in the last 24 hours, Israel bombed the Greek Orthodox Saint Porphyrius Church.
The compound or the grounds of that church were hit by an Israeli air attack in central Gaza City.
So anybody who thinks that Israel won't bomb hospitals, folks, they're bombing churches.
They're bombing, of course they're bombing hospitals.
They're bombing everything.
And in a speech, Joe Biden compared Hamas to Russia.
What?
He really has gone senile.
Hamas is not Russia.
They don't even share the same religion, nor the same tactics, nor the same goals.
I mean, Russia is a far more professional military organization than Hamas, even if you disagree with Russia.
They have nothing in common.
So far now, 3,785 Palestinians have been killed by Israel in airstrikes on Gaza.
So remember what I said, we're rapidly approaching triple the number of Israelis killed by Hamas on the October 7th attacks.
And so, you know, it makes you wonder, like I asked earlier, how many dead Palestinians will it take to appease the bloodlust of the Israelis?
And the answer, of course, is all of them.
And be careful what you wish for.
Because when Israel demands extermination of another ethnic group, Israel is actually setting in motion a series of events that may lead to the extermination of Israel.
Over a week ago, I predicted that gold and silver and oil would all spike, and of course, that's exactly what's happening.
Gold is really spiking up.
It's rapidly approaching $2,000 an ounce spot price.
Oil spiked, silver is spiking as well.
That's because, of course, of the uncertainty of energy markets and also financial markets.
And those who are holding gold and silver are feeling a lot safer right now as their assets increase in value in terms of the fiat currency value.
Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch has accused the US and its allies in Europe of hypocrisy for their failure to condemn Israel's attacks on Gaza.
This is based on a statement from Human Rights Watch and written up by Al Jazeera.
It says that in the case of Ukraine, the US and Europe denounced Russian war crimes.
But fast forward 18 months from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the West is largely silent on war crimes by Israel in Gaza.
Where are the clear and unequivocal calls for Israel to respect international norms in its attack on Gaza, let alone for accountability?
Where is the clear condemnation of the cruel tightening of the 16-year closure of Gaza that amounts to collective punishment, a war crime?
The hypocrisy and double standards of Western states are flagrant and obvious.
And here's an article that alludes to something that I mentioned earlier.
South Africans see parallels between their history and Palestine.
Support for Palestine is strong in South Africa, where many see parallels between the struggle against apartheid, led by Nelson Mandela, and the fight against the Israeli occupation of the Palestinians.
There have been several protests condemning Israel's bombardment of Gaza, with Mandela's grandson speaking at one of them, wearing a Palestinian scarf that is called, I hope I'm pronouncing this correctly, a kefir.
I'm not sure how to say it, sorry.
The South African government has called for a peaceful resolution and has raised fears of a genocide of the Palestinian people.
And then, by the way, getting back to Joe Biden's speech, he said that it's the U.S. that's holding the world together.
That has got to be one of the most disgusting statements in history.
That would be...
I mean, I hate to bring in Hitler in this, but that would be like Adolf Hitler saying that he thinks the Third Reich brings peace to Europe.
I mean, it's that insane.
The U.S. brings stability to the world?
The U.S. holds the world together?
No, the U.S. tears the world apart.
The US destroys nations because it exploits them as proxy nations in its war for global domination.
There would not be a war in Ukraine right now if not for the US. That is a US war that sacrifices the Ukrainian people.
To achieve the aims, the geopolitical aims of the U.S. State Department that wants to destroy Russia and claim Russian resources for itself.
Israel is in much the same boat.
Understand, Israel is a puppet state of the United States.
The U.S. calls the shots with Israel, for the most part.
Israel is obedient to the United States.
Without the United States, Israel would not exist.
Israel needs, like I said earlier, U.S. protection, military protection, and U.S. money.
And what is Israel bringing to the Middle East right now?
Chaos, war, suffering, destruction, genocide.
All because of U.S. support.
Think about that when you consider who to vote for next time.
Don't vote for any senator, any member of the House, or any presidential candidate that funds genocide in the Middle East.
That eliminates most candidates, by the way, like 90% of them, maybe 95%.
So keep that in mind.
And importantly, when the dollar collapses, Israel will cease to exist.
When the dollar collapses, the U.S. military will have no way of funding itself.
When the dollar collapses, there won't be any aid that means anything to Israel.
Israel will be on its own, and it will be overrun in no time.
The dollar is going to zero, folks.
You know this.
You've listened to this podcast probably for some time.
The dollar is going to zero.
The BRICS nations are rapidly pursuing their de-dollarization bypass strategy, which is to trade in the yuan, in the rupee, in the ruble, in the real, in any other global currency other than the dollar.
China is selling off record quantities of treasury debt, tens of billions of dollars in the last month alone.
China's dumping treasuries.
Why is that?
Oh, and they're buying gold.
Buying lots and lots of gold.
Yield rates on treasuries have skyrocketed to a point where there is an absolute catastrophic wipeout in the value of bonds, because, of course, the value of bonds is inversely related to the yield of those bonds, as you know.
And the reason the yields are so high is because no one wants U.S. dollars anymore, and people don't trust the Treasury anymore.
By the way, Israel is about to have its credit rating downgraded.
Did you know that?
Why?
Because now there are bigger questions about whether Israel can even pay its debt one day, especially if it's bombed into oblivion and destroyed.
There will be no Israel if this path is pursued, this path of destruction and death is pursued.
There will be no Israel.
And when the dollar dies, Israel will die in its current form.
Understand, this is cause and effect.
Cause and effect.
It's very simple.
And you know what's going to make the dollar die even faster?
War in the Middle East, which Israel is escalating.
So Israel is digging its own grave.
Israel is like a suicide bomber.
Think about it.
Israel attacks Gaza.
OPEC eventually issues an energy export embargo.
Energy prices go through the roof.
$300 a barrel of oil.
Massive inflation in the United States.
So everybody needs a bailout.
The banks start to fail as the Fed raises interest rates.
As the banks start to fail, massive money printing bails them out.
Trillions upon trillions of dollars.
Massive money printing.
Because of the money printing, there are even fewer buyers internationally, especially as Israel is condemned for its genocidal war atrocities that are backed by the United States.
Fewer people want to be associated with U.S. debt, nor do they trust treasuries nor the dollar.
Especially as the U.S. is over $33 trillion in debt right now and rising rapidly, soon to hit a trillion dollars a month.
Just as I predicted, as you know, a year or two ago, I said it would hit a trillion dollars a month.
We are very nearly there.
We're about half a trillion a month right now.
So it won't be long until it's a trillion a month, and then after that it's going to be a trillion a week, and so on.
And the end approaches.
It's the end of the dollar.
And everything that Israel is doing is accelerating that end, which will lead to the end of Israel.
It's crazy.
It's like watching a lunatic in a race car drive off a cliff while you're warning them, hey, don't drive off the cliff.
And they're like, no, this is awesome.
I can fly.
And they're just off the cliff.
And you're watching as, you know, gravity kicks in.
It's like, wow, that's a ballistic trajectory right there.
I bet it hurts upon impact.
Like, everything's fine at first.
I'm weightless!
I'm weightless!
And then, kapoof!
Done!
Obliterated!
That can happen to Israel.
And yet, the Israeli leadership can't see it.
They're blind.
So as I said earlier, if you care about the Israeli people...
You must call for de-escalation because that's the only path of survival that Israel has.
If you care about Jews, call for peace.
Because, again, that's the only path that results in Jews being safe all around the world.
Let me play this video for you of someone talking about the bombing of the Greek church in Gaza, where about 385 refugees were staying.
Including many non-Palestinians, by the way.
So if you have any question whatsoever about whether Israel strikes hospitals, yeah, well, they're blowing up churches.
So check out this video.
We were sheltering at the Saint Orthodox Church.
It's more than 2,000 years old.
385 Christians were sheltering at the church.
We refused to be forcibly displaced to Sinai.
They told us to evacuate to South Gaza.
We said, we are not leaving.
We want to die here.
So they went ahead and killed us here.
They dropped the airstrike directly onto the church, the building, with 385 people inside.
A two-story building was flattened.
There was another church as well, housing 500 people.
Watch them bomb it, too.
Here's a woman.
We were all sheltering at the church, around 400 Christians.
We were just staying there.
Suddenly, the Israeli occupation bombed the building.
A whole floor was bombed over our heads, without any warnings whatsoever.
Are there people still under the rubble?
Yes, there are.
Okay, that's it.
So there you go.
And this is why it's so despicable that there are some people who think that these bombings are all fake and nobody's dying.
No.
This is an atrocity.
This is a, as Dr.
Boyle says, a Nazi war crime that you are witnessing in real time every day.
And the only way out of this for Israel to survive is to call for peace.
So I repeat, this is why I support the message of Jewish voice for peace.
Even though, again, I don't know their politics, it doesn't matter.
I support Jews against genocide.
But you know, most of the conservative media out there, I notice, probably supports Jews for genocide because that's what they're calling for, genocide.
Be careful what you ask for, because this is going to result in such blowback against the United States and the destruction of the dollar, the acceleration of the demise of the U.S. empire, that people's minds will be taken by storm.
They will be so astonished at the swiftness of the destruction of the West that takes place from this, including Western Europe once OPEC cuts off the energy exports.
The destruction of the West is actually upon us.
And the suicide lunatics in charge are stepping on the gas pedal to accelerate us even faster to our own demise.
And if you are cheering this on, you are on the wrong side of history.
Period.
So join me in being on the right side of history.
For your sake, for your soul's sake, for the sake of the world, for the sake of all of us.
Be on the right side of history.
And that means call for an immediate ceasefire.
Call for peace.
Call for humanitarian aid.
Enormous quantities of humanitarian aid.
Call for An investigation into the bombing of the Al-Ali hospital.
Call for an end to Israeli war crimes, atrocities, genocide being carried out against the Palestinian people.
And call for a diplomatic negotiation toward a two-state solution so that these people might have a chance to live in peace.
Because the alternative to that...
Is world freaking war and probably the destruction, the annihilation of Israel.
If you want to destroy Israel, keep calling for war because that's exactly what you're going to get.
And all of the people out there calling for war, they are really the anti-Semites.
They are anti-Jew, they are anti-Israel because they are calling for actions that will destroy Israel.
I am the pro-Semite here calling for peace.
I am pro-Jew.
I am pro-Israel by calling for peace that will preserve Israel.
And yet the very people who are about to be destroyed by this, they can't see it.
And so they call for total war, total destruction, and they have no idea what they are setting into motion.
Pray for peace or we all suffer.
All right, and in order to aid your preparedness, given what's coming, I will plug BeReady123.com because they offer preparedness equipment.
This is part of the satellite phone store.
BeReady123.com, they've got the solar generators.
These can be life-saving.
You may find yourself in a war zone at any moment because of the instability of the world.
You need to have backup power, and this is an excellent solution.
Just check it out at beready123.com.
Check out the satellite phone store at sat123.com.
And it's not too late to get physical gold and silver into your hands before this escalates to insane levels.
This whole war situation.
You want to have gold and silver before, if you can, have it locked in before the attack on Gaza, if that's possible.
Go to metalswithmike.com and check out the Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals Company there.
You can see their real-time prices.
They're very fair, very competitive, and they have guaranteed insured delivery.
They do vaulting services if you want them to hold silver for you, for example, or gold or platinum.
And they do IRS-compliant IRAs, retirement accounts, where you're keeping physical gold and silver under their care for your retirement, and you can cash it in according to the IRS schedule.
So metalswithmike.com.
I'm not your financial advisor.
I don't encourage you to speculate on precious metals, but I do encourage you to do your research and understand what assets are, what real money is versus fiat currency.
You know, one thing for certain that's going to happen here is there's going to be a lot more money printing in the US. A lot more.
And as money printing accelerates, you know what that does.
You know what that does.
The dollar heads faster and faster to zero.
And the safe havens for storing assets and value, those become increasingly recognized as gold and silver and land.
And also, for those of you into crypto, privacy currency like Monero is doing pretty darn good.
I mean, it's holding steady for the most part.
Some volatility, but at least you have portability with that format.
So do all the research that is necessary.
Make wise decisions.
Understand what's happening right now because this is history unfolding and it is a dark chapter of history.
There's no getting around that.
It's not doom and gloom to say that.
It's reality.
It's just waking up and opening your eyes and looking around.
And I appreciate the fact that you are interested in reality, because you and I both live in a world surrounded by people who live in a delusional fantasy land, and they will not be prepared, and they will be financially obliterated by what is about to happen.
They have no clue what's coming.
If they're just watching CNN and Joe Biden, they think everything's good, America is all in charge and powerful, everything's good, just gonna slaughter them, slaughter them, Hamas, and we're all gonna be good.
No.
Your country may not survive this.
Your currency most certainly will not survive this much longer.
And the devastation coming within the continental United States is biblical.
It's almost unimaginable.
I do want to remind you also to tune in next Wednesday.
We have the telethon for Brighteon.tv.
