137. Ari Ben-Menashe: Israel, Problems and Solutions (It’s Not a Jewish/Muslim Thing)

TrineDay: The Journey Podcast

Publisher R. A. “Kris” Millegan speaks with Ari Ben-Menashe about what’s happening between Israel and Hamas (“It was inevitable.” America should intervene for peace.); also the Oslo Accords (and Egypt’s and Jordan’s lack of concern for the Palestinians) in the 1990s; how, in the 1800s and early 1900s, Jews in Iraq, Egypt, Palestine, and Jerusalem were doing very well, living very well with Arabs, and how the problems started with the arrival of uneducated East European (Ashkenazi) Jews. Antisemitism was in Russia and Eastern Europe. It started in the Middle East with the creation of Israel. Zionism was “basically an East European socialist movement that the East Europeans wanted to get rid of, so they sent them to Palestine.”

Ari Ben-Menashe is the author of PROFITS OF WAR: Inside the Secret U.S.-Israeli Arms Network. He spent more than a decade in the innermost circles of Israeli intelligence, was privy to the secret negotiations with the Iranians to delay the release of the American hostages until after the election of Ronald Reagan, and he is the man who paid off the Iranians for the American hostages.
