00:15Well, I mean, we've just seen 15 months of active warfare in Gaza, a campaign by Israel
00:23that is generally considered by a great many people, myself very much included, as a rolling

00:33Now, obviously, we had the actions of the so-called Axis of Resistance.
00:41Their combined reaction to Israel has not been successful.
00:45Hezbollah has been greatly weakened in Lebanon.
00:51The Iranians have also been greatly weakened, and so it doesn't seem as though there's any
00:57real nexus of military opposition to Israel, and absent that, or some sort of compelling
01:08and effective resistance to Israeli policy from outside the region to include the European
01:15Union and the United States, it appears as though history is simply going to continue
01:21on the same line.
