Will Israel and Iran be at War Soon?

Time Text
I will admit to you that it is difficult for me not to think of the hostages kidnapped by Hamas.
There's no question but some have been murdered in captivity.
It's no question that some have been tortured and no question that I don't know what number of women have been abused and even perhaps raped.
It doesn't merit the world's attention.
The world is not a good place.
There might, there's a lot of articles that there might be a war between Israel and Iran.
and I never thought I would say this, but I think that there will be a percentage of Americans rooting for Iran.
It's hard to believe.
We've gone from the people who kidnapped American State Department workers, remember that, after the Khomeini Revolution?
How long were they kept in captivity?
Was it 444 days?
Huh?
444, yeah.
The ease with which people forget the past is...
It's quite remarkable.
I've always argued history is the most important subject you can study.
I'm reading a biography of James Garfield.
Yeah, no, I read it.
You read it?
Yeah.
It's very good.
It opens up, the first page even, just summarizing his life and how he spoke about the, during the Civil War, we're fighting To end slavery.
But if you say the Civil War was to end slavery, people get annoyed with you.
No, no, no.
The North couldn't care less about slavery.
That might have been true about some Northerners.
But it wasn't true during the Civil War, as people asked, why are we dying in such numbers?
Somebody sent me a picture in Norway of a storefront in the city of Bergen.
You saw that?
Where did you see it?
That's interesting that you saw it too.
And on the storefront, somebody wrote Zionists.
It's basically the same word in Norwegian, Zionisten.
And then somebody who put this up showed a picture of Norway in 1942 with a storefront with Yodin, Jews.
There's no difference.
There is no difference.
Just people don't say Jews today, they say Zionists.
The only ones who say Jews today are Hamas.
They say Zionists for the Western press, but...
Reference is, let's kill as many Jews as possible.
People don't want to hear this because it is annoying.
Good and evil are annoying subjects.
It is said that Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
But people don't want to know about good and evil.
It's an interesting observation on that.
Great, great, brilliant story.
What they want to do is determine good and evil.
They don't want to know good and evil.
And that's what the eating of the tree was about.
You will be like God, determining good and evil.
That is the way it should be understood.
