US-Israel Relationship: Who’s Calling the Shots? 

Instead of arming Israel, US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education and homelessness.

Heart breaking that no country has stepped in to make life impossible for the IOF.

A narrated genocide traumatizing the world

Rania is a brilliant and dedicated journalist. Simply unmatched! 💗🍉

book: The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine Renowned Israeli historian, Ilan Pappe's groundbreaking book revisits the formation of the State of Israel. Between 1947 and 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages were deliberately destroyed, civilians were massacred and around a million men, women, and children were expelled from their homes at gunpoint. Denied for almost six decades, had it happened today it could only have been called "ethnic cleansing". Decisively debunking the myth that the Palestinian population left of their own accord in the course of this war, llan Pappe offers impressive archival evidence to demonstrate that, from its very inception, a central plank in Israel's founding ideology was the forcible removal of the indigenous population. Indispensable for anyone interested in the current crisis in the Middle East.

Freedom for Palestine ✌️ 🇵🇸 ❤

This guy's book was what initially opened my eyes to this imperial death machine. The clarity is refreshing! And - get this- TRUE! Thank you!

Thank you Mr Becker , great speech, great book.

This episode is very thorough history of Palestine / ME @ past 100 years for people who really didn’t know about these details . Thanks ! This is a keeper I’m saving it in my RU-vid .

...and the pretext for is is "a home for the Jews" - whatever that means.

Good conversation/episode. Thanks

US should be boycotted at least for its support of the Gxnocxde of Palestinians. US is same as Israel

As Jewish American with a broad understanding of history, it's hard to deny certain facts. The UK and other countries benefitted by the Rothschild banking dynasty.

We the people are the power. Remember that when you cast your vote. It's our fault or our victory for human values.

Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for Israel.

You don't need to control the entire population as seen now but just the power at the top. The US government does not rule America. The wealth does and who are they?

Evening Ms Rania. Scotland UK 👁️🙏👁️.

This is such an important question and discussion. I've been saying that Israel is a massive US military installation, an integral component of the MIC, masquerading as a country, for ages. This is the first interview I've heard where this opinion is confirmed and backed up. I wish you would share the entire interview here, considering its importance, but can understand the reasons why you don't.

They even say it out loud: israel is the unsinkable aircraft carrier 🤣

And Allah is most knowing of your enemies; and sufficient is Allah as an ally, and sufficient is Allah as a helper ~ Qur’an 4:45

Mr. Becker, if you had come here just to explain how wrong it is to say that Israel owns the USA, you would have done a very important job. Excelent Interview! Thank you. #LONGLIVERESISTANCE

Brilliant guest, excellent journalist, the best video to date on the subject. Do not miss it!

Thanks for all you do, kids! ❤️

Agreed. Israel is a giant military base. And the U S is also a giant military base.

Excelent "introduction to the program", Rania. #LONGLIVERESISTANCE

Rogue nations are like birds of a feather, they tend to flock together! SMFH

Thank you for bringing up that people just blaming jewish zionism leaves imperialism off the hook. It's so tiring having to keep explaining to people who go down the 'jewish banker' road that actually blaming the jews won't fix imperialism because it's capitalism's fault... I'm gonna share this video around to quite a few people

This is what greed and love for supremacy does. They didn’t know back then their wrongdoings will backfire. Wishing Palestine the best 🙏🙏🙏

13:09 I have an answer to your guests question. Israel DOES control us policy for this reason;a group of people and money. They've used Israel as a pretext to identify themselves AND aligned themselves with influential persons ;including Christmas, aethiests big business to affect a policy which is not in the overall longterm interests of the USA.

Let's not ignore the fact that there is a unique, serious, tangible overlap in the membership and personal association between the oligarchies of Israel and the US, regardless of whether or not you handwave acknowledgement of that fact as an antisemitic conspiracy theory. The fact that Israel is a small country is irrelevant to this. A small oligarchy can control a large country; this is far from new or unprededented, especially when supported by a large global web of other oligarchies which all mutually benefit from the byproducts of their actions.

Bravo

Israel is the 51st state.

Thank you

Stephen Gowans presented a similar argument in his book, Israel: A Beachhead in the MiddleEast.

I really enjoyed this guest! 🙏

We are all proud of you @Rania Khalek. Specially standing-up to the Genocide Supporter Piers Morgan last night 👏👏

What about the initial Balford declaration letter of 1917 being addressed personally to a banker called Rothshild? Didn't the banker promise the then British PM Wilson to help not loosing WW1 by dragging in yet another country? Guess who? Yep. And he made good on his promise didnt he? hence his payment in land. It's all documented in the Versaille peace treaty documents.

The first non MSM network I’ve subscribed to on a monthly basis .

Thanks for the truth

Excellent analysis.

I've going to this site for quite some time and this interview is unequivocally the best discussion I ever listened to. I shared it with many, and I will get this book immediately. Also listen to this again, for it is extremely informative and interesting. Better than any history class you have ever had. That you Rania and all your compatriots on Break Through News. Im. on sec 8 and 84 old, but as soon as I get some decent $ I'll send $ Your site is invaluable

Love this Richard Becker - funny, he sounds just like BRIAN Becker, and looks a bit like him too, who I'm also a fan of. Hmmm. 🧐Thanks for the interview, Rania, very very informative!

The Tribe calls the Shots...it's a trick question is it😁

I've been saying this for yeeeears. In POWER: *The "tail" does NOT "wag the dog".* That is not how divide and rule works. In divide and rule, it is the POWER that "wags the tails".

Sharp analysis and extremely consciousness raising beautiful Rania! 👋🥰

Biden vs Nuttnyahoo..The old, "good cop - bad cop" routine.

"Such a small country could never rule over such a big country?" Come again? Japan (little) ruled over China ( gigantic) united kingdom (little) ruled over 56 sovereign countries incl lndia (gigantic) etc. And to claim that thinking a small country can rule a gigantic country is fundamentally antisemitic thinking... sorry, you lost me there.

This is good too. Hi George😊👍

thank you rania

We must not be silent while witnessing injustice. Israel is committing war crimes and US is complicit in those crimes.

Absolutely recomended analysis . A man who puts the acurate point on the horrible setuation of today and yesterday. Bravo

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 *🌍 Israel as a Strategic US Military Base* - Israel serves as a giant military base and an extension of US power and global domination. - Israel has been used by the US to support and arm other repressive regimes, such as the Guatemalan military during the genocide against the Mayan people and the apartheid regime in South Africa. - Israel's presence in the heart of the Arab world has distorted development in the Middle East to the benefit of US imperialism. 00:55 *🤝 The US-Israel Relationship and the Israel Lobby* - There are various mainstream narratives that attempt to explain the US-Israel relationship, including shared values, sympathy for Jewish persecution, and the influence of the Israel Lobby. - The Israel Lobby is an extension of the US military-industrial complex that keeps elected officials in line, but this doesn't change the fundamental nature of Israel as a strategic US investment and proxy. - The struggle for justice in Palestine is a struggle against US imperialism itself. 02:16 *🇵🇸 Israel's Role as a Colonial Outpost for the West* - Israel was founded with the support of the British Empire, which had made promises to both the Arab nationalist movement and the Zionist movement during World War I. - The Sykes-Picot agreement and the Balfour Declaration were part of the imperialist carving up of the Middle East by European powers, leading to the creation of Israel as a European colony in the heart of the Arab world. - The anti-Semitism and indifference of Western powers, including the US, towards the plight of European Jews during the Holocaust was a factor in the establishment of Israel, but the primary motivation was to create a colonial outpost for Western interests in the region. 24:44 *📢 Awareness of the Holocaust and Lack of Intervention* - There were appeals made to bomb the rail lines leading to the Nazi concentration camps, but the military commanders refused, claiming it was not strategic. - Before the war, some of the leading American families, such as the Kennedys, Fords, and Bushes, were pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic. - In 1943, the only Jewish member of the US cabinet, Henry Morgenthau, had his department write a report attacking the State Department for not helping to relieve the genocide against Jewish and other people. - After the war, the US leaders invoked sympathy for the Holocaust to justify the creation of the state of Israel, even though they had been indifferent or obstructive to efforts to save European Jews during the war. 26:59 *🇮🇱 Israel's Role in Serving US Imperial Interests* - During the Cold War, Israel colluded with France and Britain in 1956 to attempt to overthrow the government in Egypt and seize territory. - The 1967 Six-Day War, presented as a defensive war, was actually an offensive to conquer the Golan Heights, West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, which was viewed favorably by the US. - Israel assisted repressive regimes in Latin America, such as the Guatemalan military during the genocide against the Mayan people, and provided the apartheid regime in South Africa with nuclear weapons. 32:18 *🌍 Israel's Continued Usefulness to US Imperialism* - Israel's role has not diminished, as the US is shifting its focus to the Asia-Pacific region, making Israel's strategic location and military capabilities still valuable to US interests in the Middle East. - Israel serves as a "high-paid security guard" for US interests in the region, carrying out covert operations like assassinations of Iranian scientists that the US is unwilling to do directly. - The US continues to support Israel's war against the Palestinians in Gaza, as it aims to crush all resistance movements to US imperialism in the region. 37:40 🇵🇸 Israel's Role in the US's Shifting Global Priorities While the US is shifting its foreign policy focus to the Asia-Pacific region with the "pivot to Asia," the Middle East and North Africa remain strategically important to US interests. The US sees Israel as an important asset in the region, as it serves as a large military base and allows the US to preposition vast quantities of material there. The US-Israel relationship is not one of true friendship, but rather Israel serving as a "high-paid security guard" for US imperial interests in the Middle East. 40:15 🇮🇷 Israel as the US's Proxy against Iran Israel carries out covert operations, like assassinating Iranian scientists, that the US is unwilling to do directly, in order to counter Iran, which the US sees as the major enemy in the region. The US supports Israel's actions against Iran, as it fears that without this support, Iran would gain influence in the region, which the US cannot allow. 41:25 🇵🇸 US Support for Israel's Genocide in Gaza The US is a partner in Israel's war against the people of Gaza, continuing to provide emergency resupplies of bombs and other military aid. The US wants to crush all resistance movements to imperialism, whether led by Communists or Islamists, in the region and globally, and sees Israel's brutal actions in Gaza as serving this goal.

Such a clear articulation of Israel’s value to the US in the past and today. Great playing devil’s advocate in order to articulate that. BT always interviews the best guests!!!

She asks pertinent questions. She is marvellous, "Let's talk as Jus to Jus".

#FreePalestine

Peace and LOVE for ONE and ALL 🙏🌍🕊❤‍🔥 _.

Eisenhower stood up to Israel. Other US Presidents did as well. Now Aipac calls the shots, especially in Congress.

Yeah, its just an outpost.

Magnific class.

Thank you for ur truth and a genuine honest approach, if anyone wants to know the facts and the truth watch this channel! It is one of only a few channels I watch to get the REAL information, as well as being very easy on the eye 😊 Keep the truth alive thank you....

Seldom one gets a brilliant mind to speak his views and rightly so and that is this man...Richard Becker. He talks sense without a doubt and those who are radical and bias in their own minds skip this video because you will not appreciate it one bit. Kudos to Mister Richard Becker, you should be president of America not that dim-witted Biden or worst still Donald Trump!

One of the best overviews of this vicious axis of reaction.

Israel and South Africa also cooperated on Project Coast. Look it up.

AIPAC supports & funds US politicians. In return politicians provide AIPAC subsidies, lower taxes & other financial facilities.

The MIC dictates Americas flawed foreign policy. It just happens to align perfectly 99.999 % of the time with the demands of AIPAC. It’s a symbiotic relationship that split the cost of buying EVERY politician in America and the UK .

At least I'm canadian... 🤐 Verry interesting talk and guest 👍 🇨🇦 ❤ 🇵🇸 Free Palestine!

Obviously the person calling the shots is the leader of the United States of America, President Netanyahu!

Netanyahu call the shots

If I recall correctly this is similar to the argument Chomsky made against Mearsheimer. A useful corrective.

The USA does not get very much from its unconditional support for Israel, quite the contrary actually. Individual US politicians, however, get ALOT from the Israel Lobby. This guy does not actually debunk any of the arguments put forward by Mearsheimer and Walt in their book, he just calls it “Antisemitic” because reality rhymes with some stupid Nazi conspiracy theories from the early 20th century. Thats not a good reason to dismiss the Lobbying argument. Mearsheimer and Walt present plenty of strong counter-evidence to the “Israel is a US military base/Geo-Political Strategic Asset” argument. If the best you have got in order to falsify that, is; “Sorry, but I can’t prescribe to that theory because it sounds Antisemitic” then you are not a serious person, and certainly not an ally to Palestinian Liberation, or the truth generally.

Is this Brian Becker’s brother? They have the same face and almost the same voice and style Of speaking

Did you get the answer from the video titled who's calling the shots? I didn't.

This guy is a spitting image of WEF’s Klaus Schwab.

This is going to be a great tragedy of our generation. This is what we will be remembered for. It's shameful

The US military industrial complex. That's who calls the shots.

Nothing makes sense unless you add the messianic dimension to it.

Where has US policy got Israel and Palestine..where we are today. Complicity goes back decades

Netanyahu 2010: I know what America is. America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction. They won't get in our way." $$$$billions sent to Israel (a wealthy nation) our 51st state welfare queen.

The military industrial complex is calling the shots

Go get em Rania.

Guess those of us who can't afford a "membership" can remain undereducated 🤷🏻

This is so much obfuscation it’s cruel.

Illicit relationship between America and Israel ! Don't try to describe what kind of relationship that has been ! 🤔😡-bmd

Say, “Is it other than Allah I should desire as a lord while He is the Lord of all things? And every soul earns not except against itself, and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.” ~ Qur’an 6:164

I mostly understand and appreciate what the guest is saying, however I think it ignores the role of an organization like AIPAC. The US clearly supports Israel because it's in empire's best interests (so it believes) to do so, however from Israel's perspective it seems they must believe that controlling American politics still matters otherwise they wouldn't put so many resources into it.

2015 «Le Canada est un ami indéfectible d'Israel.» S. Harper. P.M.

Very interesting to hear this side and it would have been amazing to debate John meirsheimer on this

They knew, IBM had computers in the camps and went once a month to make sure they were properly calibrated, so. They knew.

The TAIL is wagging the DOG !!

Terrifying

USA , please believe in justice .

Why did the French and UK gave up supporting Israel? Will those forces work for us? Get us past the past. What's the future?

Wow!... Israel is a Sabbatean Frankist State

Humanitarian AID? The situation you have described is indeed critical and urgent. In response to such dire circumstances, here are some immediate actions that can be taken: 1. **Urgent Humanitarian Aid**: Immediate efforts should be mobilized to provide essential aid such as food, medicine, and shelter to the Palestinian people in need. 2. **Ceasefire**: Call for an immediate ceasefire from all parties involved to stop the violence and protect civilian lives. 3. **International Intervention**: Pressure should be exerted on international governing bodies, such as the United Nations, to intervene and mediate a resolution to the conflict. 4. **Human Rights Monitoring**: Ensure proper monitoring of human rights violations and hold perpetrators accountable for their actions. 5. **Global Solidarity**: Encourage global solidarity and support for the Palestinian people through peaceful demonstrations, advocacy campaigns, and diplomatic efforts. It is crucial for the international community to come together and take swift action to alleviate the suffering and protect the rights of the Palestinian people.

Rene you are so beautiful. Love your spirit

The truth matters

Why are Egypt and Jordan keeping out the poor people of Gaza? Are they not brothers? I'm sure Gazans will benefit those countries!

This interviewer doesn't know how to speak... “like, like, like”, “I wanted to talk to you about X” (your interview is the one serving the info), unnecessary CONSTANT comments like “that's a mouthful” (it's funny when those comments are not done much, it keeps the interviewer more lively, but horrible when they're yammered every other aside comment), etc. Contrast with the PoliticsJoe interview with Norman Finkelstein. Which is a shame because Richard Becker has a lot of valuable information and wisdom to share.

A US military base? Where there is no control over the activities and behaviour of management we cannot use that title for Israel

Great historical as well as current insight into the SOWING OF THE SEEDS OF TERROR and who the real authors of that are. Thank you both.
