SICU of United Nations envoy to the Middle East is Israel and Hamas are quote escalating towards a full scale war, what would that mean after all this rocket fire enjoyed by senior global affairs Council live from Washington DC sexual life. Ongoing violence between the two sides hundreds of rockets out of Gaza overwhelming. Some of Israel's defense systems is roaming while responding with heavy air strikes in Gaza. Phone lines are open for your questions right now called 1-800-684-3110 more than a thousand rockets have been fired from Gaza into Israel since Monday night. The Israeli military is responding. They have targeted 16 senior military figures in Hamas that according to reports by reporters through Israel's intelligence agency, Shin Bet, and now your host Jordan secular on Monday since Monday 1050 rockets have been lots of Israel since Monday evenings about the last 38 hours 1050 rockets. Hamas claims it fired. Additional 210 rockets towards Tel Aviv directly so not just into Jerusalem or into the desert or to border towns with Gaza but also into Tel Aviv, Israel has hit 500 Gaza targets of the past day and 1/2. As part of the quote guardians of the walls there been six Israeli deaths, including a 21-year-old IDF soldier hit by the anti-take missile those are also being used their bid different reports of Palestinian deaths. They love to point out that there were children killed. I think that's horrendous. And the reason why. Let me just explain quickly when they shows images of Gaza allowed types of buildings are seeing being attacked or hospitals and schools.

They place their battery.

There are very like the playgrounds in the common areas near places where people are most vulnerable not gathered up their headquarters not near place were people could easily evacuate but near schools, near shopping centers were lots of people congregate, they should offer rocket from there they try to run away before the Jets make it their course. The everyday person cannot. So you see that that death but you have to realize Israel is targeting the people firing the rockets. It is the people find the rockets were putting Palestinians in that much more danger you had an unique experience because we were in Ashkelon. This was during operation cast lead I was inside a command center already you and a couple of other attorneys were outside and there was incoming rockets and then you had to go to the shelter.

What is that like plays out. At that point there was no other shelter, so we just found a wall wall that was facing backwards towards where the rockets were coming in and they were sober, landing 75 yards away. That kind of think that they're not huge.

At that point time you pictures of you pick them up afterwards, but they've gotten more and more sophisticated to try get past the abdomen who's giving that sophistication brought in through their proxy Hezbollah tried to utilize ways to somehow overwhelm the iron down system but I think riptide plate.

Yet this is badly as a State Department spokesperson. He's a eight AP ASCII six part post-spokesperson. That price would you want to see happen here from the Israelis. I will specifically would you like to see them going to be a slave unless the same thing about wealth is the amount we have called on both sides and in fact given mosses horrific terrorist attack. Its rocket fire into Israel.

We have called on all sides course including Hamas to cease this activity. The loss of life, loss of Israeli life.

The loss of Palestinian life. It's something that we deeply regret we are urging this message of de-escalation to see this loss of life come to an end visit you there forgiving a couple things coming up that escalate this immediately.

One is on May 14 which is today's way is Jerusalem's Independence Day ceasing to be fired to rockets.

Then the next day is May 15, which is called, not by day by the Palestinians that meet the catastrophe. This is not like something just de-escalate so that I this is an uptick in escalation. The Israelis have got to really continue respond. They need the international community to tell them it's okay to respond what I can abide to at the time he sees dead Palestinians. One of us got there I there wake it out soon as I hear.

Just think you want to stop the one dissolution.

Stop shooting the rockets up. That's a good way to de-escalate this but you gotta actually stop shooting the rockets offer particular phone calls 100-6844 31 till got office in Jerusalem like Pompeii will be joining us challenges facing Americans for substantial time and are now in our freedoms, our constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to stand with the American Center for Law and Justice for decades now ACLJ on the front lines protecting your freedoms defending your rights in court in Congress and in the public arena and we have an exceptional track record of success.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to talk about this very issue of the escalation between Israel and Hamas… Be very clear here that who escalates this conflict, Hamas who is responding here. Israel would love to be done. Responding Israel who wants to keep firing rockets and insulate really God's just don't have the capability more loss so they will keep firing until they've lost enough property loss enough, mid, and loss of resources to continue to fire or until their overlords in Hezbollah and Iran. Tell them to stop dry put up on the screen, a headline that we have from the Washington Post because Logan about this yesterday on Facebook and here's what reads.

Here's how rockets from Gaza test Israel's iron Dome for small the headline itself.

I find reprehensible tests iron Dome visit like a quiz. These are actually this is live diminishing fire coming into a neighboring state and their active this whole article is about how you know this is like testing it to see if it really works and Wes.

People need understand what a live rocket can do. They are filled with high explosive like Jordan, I have been in places of my deployments were. We were attacked with rocket fire is incredibly frightening and it is incredibly deadly, potentially all the loss of life J on both sides and is truly unnecessary and regrettable but here's the thing the IDF Israeli Defense forces are not only trying to keep you safe. There are Arabs in Israel who were also under these rocket attacks into their credit the IDF when they go in and they attack locations in Gaza before they attack, they warned the residents were going to attack the tried and and avoid civilian loss of life and out of the many dead and wounded that the Palestinians are reporting over 100 of Hamas rockets have failed a lot and they explode on the Gaza side, which also inflicts injury but we have to be clear here Jordan touched on this area is that everybody is calling for de-escalation. The fact of the matter is this is an escalated event is can continue to escalate as long as Hamas keeps doing what they are doing so. This is a false narrative being put forward completely false narrative. Your analysis is spot on. We know that this particular conflict with an unprovoked conflict. It was started. It was initiated by Thomas Y because Hamas recognizes that there is a new administration, at least in my opinion this is why they're doing a new administration in Washington and this new administration in Washington is unwilling to confront terror and the source of terror, which includes confronting Iran and Greece straining the Palestinians, declining to give the Palestinian Authority bonds which that he then use to launch additional terror and strike against both Americans and Israeli citizens. It is also fundamental difference. Andy and that is the fundamental difference of Israel which values human life is a policy matter and Hamas, which is a terrorist organization which views human life is completely expendable and that like Jordan said that's the reason they put the statement that rocket launchers in civilian areas easily with children there but now that's a reprehensible act, but that's how they do and that's what they do and it shows the fact that you pointed out that they don't value human life is the Israelis do.

Nominees were unprovoked attacks.

These are just sua sponte, as we say in how in Latin given up on their own attacks upon the Israeli people who had no provocation whatsoever engendered, but there were times you know, specifically in order to provoke the iron Dome work soon and that article that you mention from the Washington Post is a reprehensible thing to say that it works. That's not the idea that were testing it and to see if it's successful or not, and it was good but the Washington Post got the idea that tried to go to the Washington Post we have, it should let show what that looks like so for audience that's that's watching us on television. There's rockets coming and what you're seeing now as you can see the intercept that was an intercept will be with theirs, and there is a shot and we have it where there's literally dozens of that barely come CCM right now. Dozens of rockets coming and what's blowing up in the air are the intercepts and iron Dome.

So this Washington.

But here's how rockets from Gaza test is resigned on what they're trying to do and you could see it there and that in the video is put up so many Jordan that they are dumb. Cannot respond, but the iron Dome did with Kevin Iredell. It's very not even I think, as Israel has this small border area with the Gaza Strip. This is been a great US partnership with Israel because you could state you could test this at a much smaller as down and then if this continues to work the way it as you can see how this would increase US security renter troops that are forces you could put its these batteries all across wherever you were, and know that you are relatively safe from massive fire, especially from these kind of a rockets which have gotten more technologically advanced since Hamas has been partnering up with Hezbollah who is run by Iraq, so I think that that what we have to .2 here's an administration.

They have so many messes other hand right now.

We just think about this. The border crisis still ongoing. They still can't figure out how to reopen gas prices that the gas shortage hitting the country parts of the country. You can post be in North Carolina this week and if I don't have ability to guess yet is affecting air travel affecting car travel and then now you got a you got member you had Africa I had the Chinese expansion to Africa and then you got that out that just a rod on that on the table, but you've got a boss ended conflict, yet which the you. It is say could lead to full-scale war. Yeah, and what's interesting we talked about this yesterday so I think this is important for everybody to really understand and grapple with.

There was a big Navy Westmont you talk about this man interdicted a series of shipments coming in to through the Straits of Hormuz that had military weapons on it. Antiaircraft weapons guns. I we were shown pictures of it right now a whole host of weapons where those weapons come out of guess where China Russia Iran so they are already in the mix.

Absolutely they are now in Iran is behind most of the violence as you correctly state of Maine without exaggeration, they are behind all of the violence in the Middle East. These weapons were Chinese and Russian made their ownership going from Iran to Yemen. Jim, the hoodie rebels and in him and of course attack civilians know in that Civil War J over 130,000 civilians have been killed in the war that the hoodie rebels are are executing in Yemen and yet what is happening Aranda supplying them with weapons, just like a supply technology to Hamas and Hezbollah. So you still have some these congresswomen to leave and company calling for it.

You know this is Israel Spalding when Hamas should be given euros. When I say gossip about skinny people want Thomas to get an Iredell maven items that don't shoot in the woods ministry, but did not do Israel that has had a conflict than what you what's going on in Washington Yemen. There deftly still a few loud voices making that justification trying to make a moral equivalently by some Democrats taking out there. They're getting drowned out to some extent J but look at it until the Obama divided initiation comes out inconclusively dictates action that is contradictory to what they're saying.

I think it's gonna be concerning look how offensive is it that you would you would cite the fact that Israel has an effective iron dome defense as justification that the rockets being lobbed are okay. That's essentially what these handful are saying J but like when you turn this the funding spigot on at the United Nations when you turn USAID onto the Palestinian Authority when you are largely silent on Israel's right to exist as no surprise. The escalation happens.

I think we better situation here and relentless in yet.

People like John Kerry running running this national security council so they are directly advising the present United States. Let's flash back to December 20, 2016 John Kerry, but here is a fundamental reality. If the choice is one state Israel can either be Jewish or Democratic. It cannot be both. And it won't ever really be at peace sign anything encourage this final yes they encourage the violence of Hamas because present trumps was clear. You want your own place you on your own is country fine. We will move forward with depth jacketing Israel when it is a McKay by the way a issues are incapable of having democracy and the Jewish said if you had full on using in that state and you put everyone together that one state cylinder Jewish state.

So we are a place of refuge for the Jewish people, which is why was set up with the idea that the Jewish people of Israel are not capable of running a state that is a Jewish state in recognizing the rights of minorities and being democracy I think is pretty anti-Semitic and every time I hear those words and yet am it reminds me of how out of touch these guys are in there back in charge again and that's why you're having all that now back in charge. Basically, we have the Obama administration being rerun we have John Kerry having the presidency. Here we have them as the climate King. We have them as the confidant of the reef, telling them, giving them classified error information that others people don't know we have them doing shadow diplomacy we've saying is saying now that the Jews can be Democratic in the day during the Democratic figure do is you can't be both. What kind of stamina but he's not held to account. That's the thing. Do you see this in the Washington Post. You see this in the New York Times.

Do you see them being called out by CNN, MSNBC, in these and these nations no you don't. And he makes the statements and nothing happens whatsoever. He is free to speak the way he does folks I courage always should have ACLJ.Arlotta great articles up there on on on Israel on Planned Parenthood on just the borders. The top three. I see right out ACLJ.org, Joining us live our senior counsel for global affairs, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo only one. A society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice is certainly protective. Is there any hope for that culture to survive. And that's exactly what you are saying when you stand with the American Center for Law and Justice, defendant the right to life, we've created a free and powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn Gold edition like it will show you how you are personally pro-life, and the publication includes a look at all major ACLJ cases were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist the ramifications of Roe V Wade, 40 years later Planned Parenthood's role in the motion and what Obama care means to the prone life in many ways your membership in the ACLJ is empowering the right to life question free copy of mission life today online ACLJ/challenges facing Americans are substantial time and are now free to sort constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to stand with the American Center for Law and Justice for decades ACLJ has been on the frontlines protecting your freedoms defending your rights and courts in Congress and in the public arena and we have an exceptional track record of success. But here's the bottom line we could not do more work without your support, we remain committed to protecting your religious and constitutional freedoms than remains our top priority, especially now during these challenging times. The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member. Thank you, are not well this is the perfect time to stand with us. ACLJ.org where you can learn more about her life changing work, become a member today ACLJ secularly enjoyed by Mike Pompeo, senior counsel for global affairs at the ACLJ for US Secretary of State Michael you right into this I what's happening in Israel and in Gaza we heard this morning the UN envoy to the Middle East saying that the fighting is quote escalating towards a full-scale war. What you read on the situation as it stands today with Hamas's attacks in the Israeli response. You do believe that we could be heading towards a ground invasion kind of conflict between Israel and Hamas ordinary certainly that rest of the date of the rename my boat in the Gaza Strip make clear that they will stop at nothing right there launching rockets at civilian when I hear Democrat leaders talk about the escalation XML to actor the Israelis and the Hamas terrorists are that there is a moral relativism between the committed disgusting United States has responsibility. The comp administration executed that responsibility to make clear that the right to defend themselves but Jordan unfairly get into that that fits into the larger Middle East context where the metric is consistently sided with Iran against all the other actors in the region and this is clearly a set of missiles that are unsupported now being lodged against Israel.

Another proxy force and when you serve as secretary of state courts were instrumental in the ministration course with the Abraham accords that have been so successful in realigning of the situation in the Middle East, which is been really very good and very successful but you got also write a blog going up by the ACLJ Donald everybody needs to get this to make sure we get this on all of our social media applications called Iran's attacks on Israel demands American support for Israel. I will follow up on the de-escalation thing like there's an easy way to de-escalate it because you know you got yet.

Some members of Congress saying to leave and others, and Emiliano Marseilles will be Palestinian Authority needs their own version of iron dome. I said they have what is called don't fire rockets into your neighbor. That's a good deterrent but did the de-escalation false narrative is of course ignoring the reality but the buying administration as it sits right now has signaled I would called tepid support for Israel about what unleashed in the last on the date so that the ministration would look like a bum call and talk to Prime Minister neck outward extended. Top and then begin to underwrite the Palestinian Authority through on the painful paper slay all of the things that we had. They then go to Vienna begin to negotiate with the irradiance to permit them a pathway to a nuclear weapon. These are all signaled this disagreement likes what Hamas did in your points well taken. Had warned the case that Hamas laid down its weapons today. This would add that BP is a another weapon they would be decimated, there would be genocide if the irradiance that this is tragic for to hear you on Omar those folks.

Despite we should provide iron dome, or group of parents that they should be American support to shield terrorist from a defensive action that the Israelis are using to protect himself is really sick. I will play a statement from someone else that served as Secretary of State. I played it once already, but I want to play it again because it is is it a Jewish Christian. This is really offensive to me as a Jew. This is really offensive to me.

And this is a statement by the former Secretary of State obscene that my Pompeo but John Kerry. I want everyone to listen to this again is very important here.

This, but here is a fundamental reality. If the choice is one state Israel can either be Jewish or Democratic. It cannot be both. And it won't ever really be at peace. I find that horribly anti-somatic. Mr. Sec., and I'll tell you why and they would like your comments. Number one is it the Jewish community in Jewish leadership in Israel is not capable of protecting minorities which they do more so than any other place in the Middle East. By the way, and the idea that you can have a Jewish state any democratic state to meet his anti-Semitism is that Jews are not capable of doing that. I don't know what Sec. Kerry was thinking there, but I think were seeing the same policies today.

You are on the bed is a long tradition from Carter to Obama Biden to now.

Biden is a long tradition that does indeed border on anti-Semitism you complete. You can hear the way they think about the Jewish state placement so that those remarks are so troubling. There is one democracy in the middle. If there's one place where Christians and Muslims and Jews coexist, they can practice their faith in the way they so desire. There's religious freedom there's a government that is responsive that he knows the citizens of Israel of each right to adjust about the only place in the Middle East that happened in for a American Secretary of State to make the claims that he did. There is completely outrageous request for secretary content. Yeah it relates to what you alluded to limit that to go to Sec. about Iran in the JCP away in the Biden willing to negotiate their know one of the State Department spokespeople yesterday made the statement that this reentering the JCP away could be done swiftly. He said because I quote there, not having to do anything new. It doesn't need to be brand-new. I think that's an atrocious statement. The JCP away was so flawed.

Something needs to be new in it and now I was wondering if you were trying to rewrite an agreement with the ran, what would your conditions be what would you including the agreement, other than it was in the one now report that although Obama that what hit me by the testified all that, yet we want to go back in but will to make it stronger and longer and better, and out looks like they're going to make it weaker and shorter and worse. We know the things that need to happen it needs to not just be about the nuclear program to get the subprogram in error.

Proxy the need to commit to stop taking Americans and holding them hostage. We need to have permanent restrictions on the capacity to conduct McCoy research only need to put around the place recanted rich uranium so long that the capacity to do that and that in the JCP away as currently written what they think are going to go back into allow them to continue exaggerated if they could do that. The ability for Israel to doubt that I have a nuclear weapon is very bailout the risk that we end up with one of the Middle East becomes very very high. Same as you also requested to facilitate yet, Mr. sector, just a quick follow-up on. Actually, there is a report coming out of CNN that the administration is currently considering releasing another billion dollars of funds to the irradiance and you know the plane the typical game, calling it a goodwill gesture that will be used for humanitarian purposes.

Nevermind we Artie gave them palatable to catch the last time around to enter the deal originally but my concern is that a release of those funds would just get a green light to those proxies that you talked about for further attacks on Israel. What will anything and it isn't that essentially a green right that the Iranians practice of corseted.

We would the Iranian military budget by over 25%. We took down the foreign exchange by over 96% of the doubt that by demonstrating go I do that every dollar the custody Iranians has a significant piece of the code either into the pockets of the Terrace theocrat the renegotiate or into the hands of Hezbollah or the Iraqi militias and irradiance border or the places like a monster that would be each of the Magenta settled that was expected Israel off the lightning that they thought the map as well we ought not release this money already not enforcing the very center their still US law, the girl still do it… Big horse date irradiance will be in short order flush with cash catch and I think date by the ministration give a dot about that.

We got Jerusalem Day on May 14. That's true some Independence Day that we got knocked by day that's the day that passes, catastrophe, Sec. Pompeo, I don't see and let's Hamas steps step sops. This I don't see this going away this week and with American leadership we could convince them that I know that Israel will do what it takes, and they must be what it takes to have every right to take to defend himself.

My Pompeo former Secretary of State and proud to say ACLJ senior counselor global affairs. Thank you for your insight and your help as we navigate this brand-new piece of pie my Pompeo. Iran's attack on Israel demands American support Israel be up later this afternoon we got a whole half-hour had this when quick folks were ahead. ACLJ.org support the Americans in the field for decades. ACLJ been on the frontlines protecting your freedom is defending your rights in court in Congress and in the public arena.

The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side. If you're already a member. Thank you.

If you're not well this is the perfect time to stand with us, ACLJ.org, where you can learn more about our life-changing work, member today ACLJ live from Washington DC and secular singularity. Your cause of this agreed to be called out on Sec. Pompeo's Artie joined us to.

Your reaction his thoughts. 1-800-684-3110 at a time when you would think again. The USB strongly behind Israel. Your members of Congress saying like you want, Omar. Build the Palestinians and iron don't give that a terrorist group way to protect itself from retaliation after it carries out terrorist attacks. Sorting your phone calls on that how important you believe it is for the US and the American people stand up to the politicians to the media and say whatever you say about Israel.

We stand united with the Jewish state of Israel and went to take Oliver faxing from a Washington Post headline set up is a wonderful test of the system is alive military conflict is not a test. This is not a test submitted Israel to with its if that this is a test this is not an actual military conflict in this situation.

Babies are be taken out of hospital rooms sheltered people happy to take your kids in the hallways to be sheltered places. Happy late in the evening.

Is that a test of the system.

This is live warfare before eyes and I want to go give a little history in the Andes can appreciate this in our time at Oxford I studied the lesser with our study Winston Churchill and he had a great quote that said I was a famous speech to his military actually was where he said never has so much been owed by so many to so few of for their heroic efforts that they did. We just given $1 billion were considering giving $1 billion to the Iranian regime, Anthony Eden wrote a letter to Winston Churchill during World War II, referencing that letter and he said Winston I wanted don't take this personally, but I wanted to base your famous quote on the greatest quotes in an English history and he said never has so much been surrendered by so many to so few. And I want to say that again never has so much been surrendered by so many to so few. Never has so much been surrendered $1 billion by so many, the taxpayers of the United States to so few. The Iranian regime. That's what were looking at here and that's where history is important, and they don't get it. That's ability and they ignore it and then they don't and they don't think about it and they donate they don't give it any mind or any attention of that statement by Winston Churchill.

Jay was in connection with the deed to the Dunkirk landings in which these sailors several soldiers and sailors of the British expeditionary force were evacuated from Dunkirk and saved and also the Royal Air Force, and that was turning that on its head and Anthony Eden paraphrase that in condemning the paraphrase is by defacing your famous quote because it's important understand I don't want to misuse it. But I want to say that what we're doing here in in giving money to the Iranians is exactly what Anthony warned we have taken American tax dollars. We've given them. As we said as a stands that pallets of cash billions and billions of dollars to lure them into this program. The stock of them intend to suck on us into doing that the program with them and then now going to give him more money to appease the Moran appeasement is another thing that Winston Churchill warned against give the crocodile everybody else to eat in the hope that he'll eat you last and that's the whole idea of what is happening here.

Give them money and money and money in the hope that is the final person that they will eat will be the United States of America where the most powerful nation on earth yet. I think Anthony Eden's letter or statement Winston Churchill debasing his famous quote is right.

Never has so much been surrendered our liberties, our freedoms, our national security or geopolitical stability billion dollars on top of that, by so many, the largest, most successful, I would say that the largest military certainly the most successful military in the world to so few and Iranian regime that could topple 15 minutes the United States will let it happen under Barack Obama's phone. Take your phone calls 100-684-3110 were dealing with reality. Now that reality is that unfortunately appears it will be entering another evening where rockets will be fired. The Iredell life to be utilized by the Israelis and the Biden administration has done nothing yet to put this to it in play, threaten Hamas with US airstrikes of pride put into it though. They will do that and the Israelis after respondent being attacked in the country producing the challenges facing Americans or substantial time in our Valley freedom sword constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to stay with the American Center for Law and Justice for decades now ACLJ on the frontlines projecting your freedoms defending your rights in court in Congress and in the public arena and we have an exceptional track record of success.

Here's the bottom line we could not do our work without your support, we remain committed to protecting your religious and constitutional freedoms then remains our top priority, especially now during these challenging times.

A society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice is, is there any hope for that culture to survive. And that's exactly what you are saying when you stand with the American Center for Law and Justice, defendant the right to life, we've created a free powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn is called mission will show you how you are personally publication includes a look at all major ACLJ cases were fighting for the rights of pro-life activists. The ramifications of Roe V Wade, 40 years later Planned Parenthood's role in the Obama care means to discover many ways your membership is powering the right question for you mission in life today online ACLJ/664, 31, two, that's what hundred 684-3110 support phone calls are certainly coveted as well, but it before you got those calls what this idea of de-escalation that we hear from the State Department de-escalation. We have rockets going Kelly into your country.

You do not provoke, and you are just responded with what try to stop those rockets for being able to land on your citizens and to take out the rocket sites. That's what is Israel doing this with any nation under adjust attack as Israel is right now we do but get de-escalation grades allow the boss to get away with everything adjusted because most of the day de-escalate until they can rearm them in their shipments and coming for my rent. I mean, the idea of de-escalation when you're being attacked is ridiculous and to use that term makes absolutely no sense in the know to finish up what I'm saying is, these were unprovoked attacks by Hamas from Gaza right what is the Israeli people supposed to do. Let them just go on and continue where I was and I've been in Tel Aviv many times and you have to. That's a western city and it's like New York City and we are bombing basically and leaving quite alike hold in the engineering and the administration of the United States says we need to do is de-escalate on both sides know you don't de-escalate if you're being attacked you escalate and you defend yourself. That's what the Israeli the Army is called the Israeli Defense force for reasons yet glad West saying for Israel to de-escalate this conflict to be de-escalated is tantamount to telling Al Qaeda when they attacked America that will de-escalate this conflict with ISIS in Iraq and Syria. You don't de-escalate with a terrorist group you try to stop them from their terrorist activities will here's the problem is, is the Biden administration fan is equating. I meant to say this, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas as a legitimate government absolutely J there are rational actors which are not well and is not the first time I would just tell you what they're doing right now circumventing US law to do it the look this theory.

This de-escalation theory is what motivated the Iran deal in the first base. I mean, think about this. We already played a Ron who is now funding these attack billions of dollars to get a deal.

Obviously that failed J it failed mirror miserably and yet were doing it again and I would just point you backed with wheat we talked about this last week, but the quote from the Iranian foreign ministers are raphe said we will never, we will never be at peace with United States Jake. Those are the people who were literally trying to pay to come to the table and negotiate with that. That's a whole mother met is that that is so absurd but there's an interesting quote by its Israeli foreign defense minister actually acting alternate prime minister of Israel after that last election a bit against. By €27 delivers and will continue to deliver supplies. Hamas and Islamic Jihad, caucus of the hospital is sold will be more powerless to continue. So for every day of the fire is will sent him back. He is, and we will continue in the coming tanks with calculation of civic and strategic significance to entities of terrorist dissections in the article and will not settlement become. We will not settlement to leave, and severe damage to the terrorist infrastructure and I think that is exactly 100%, recognizing an art director policy Harry Hutchison said the policy statement on engaging with Hamas right now how to engage. That was it. You don't stop until we have returned the calm long-term and severely damage the terrorist infrastructure were they talking about. There will, essentially, Israel is talking about achieving temporary victory with respect to these terrorists.

So essentially the Israeli government is hitting and is prepared to hit the terrorist in the mouth. The Israeli government, however, has a long term problem.

It's called the Biden administration the Biden administration has become a nightmare on many fronts. They claimed that the border is closed but apprehensions at the border have reached near record levels. They claimed that they oppose child detentions, but we have a record number of children in cages. Gas prices are up.

Job growth is down and appeasement is up and now the question becomes will the Biden administration excluding bones of Neville Chamberlain as part of their ongoing appeasement program. We all know that the Biden appeasement program leads in one direction and one direction only.

It threatens Israel right that we had calls to 164 31 until his criticality in Texas online what he Connie K, I will get back to gaudy innovative minutes if you get better lied their country. Something is not the de-escalation because again you experiences in Deventer.

I was there I was an inside a command center but when you were talking the people when they were hiding in not hiding, but they were going behind these walls, then I think you de-escalation they think and how we stop it. You're right, I did get through the moment and you think let's hit back hard to take the helicopters hovering over there. The Israeli explained that he had the ready to go so see what Hamas does have the ability to do is take out 35 said and how high-level a a Blackhawks so they stay sand and they don't the rockets go up. So what they do is they have a that helicopters already in the air, they can fire hellfire missiles things like that, missiles, and they got the Jets rating now takes two seconds. So every time a strike occurs, Israel waits let's the fire knows where the fire is coming from instead of preemptively taking out those terrorists allow them to engage in the conflict and then killed in the Gaza war. They're doing it correctly. They are doing cracking the Internet say that more or less the war has been God. You can start appreciatively take yeah but if Israel knows if they acted that way they would be considered the aggressor was also fortunate because they shoot they should be able to see it. Take the battery that can file take antitank aircraft or are or these rockets and take it out before they ever watch a single one former Israeli defense minister Naftali Bennett. I meant, I think we and you may enjoy and have met him in Israel. He made a very interesting statement are our friends at Fox News only play for everybody here were not talking about a partner for peace. Is it they don't seek peace they seek and teach their children to kill Israelis that were in effect defend ourselves so that this is very important. What he said unit.

Hamas is a terrorist group. They are really controlling the government and the mechanisms of the Palestinian Authority.

Palestinian Authority is also a terrorist group the Palestinian liberation organization was there. I just verified a terrace a lot of Jewish blood on his hands a lot a Jewish blood on his hands. You cannot negotiate with a terrace, you could try to keep them in their borders and you stay in your borders, but you're not negotiating, and we've done those I repeat that for the 45 we got those bilateral trilateral negotiates in the Middle East very complicated but when we did him. It had parties that wanted and resultantly, in the case that we were involved in numerous other was complicated to get all the pieces move-in they wanted a result they wanted and result that was successful here. Hamas doesn't Israel removed. It reminds me of the children chanting in Arabic and Yale city of Jerusalem, and I can never forget this. I asked our guide. One of these children.

These are five and six-year-olds were marching in a line and in the old city in Jerusalem. And I said to our guide, who was multilingual lesson one of those children's chanting and what they were chanting was with spirit and with blood.

We will take Palestine back. They were teaching these children and five and six-year-olds to be terrorists and to have blood on their hands. That was appalling.

And if that's in the educational mindset West.

Militarily, these are all of these are factors that the military knows there engaging with absolutes is not a partner for peace.

No, absolutely not. Hamas is dedicated to destruction. Additional list be clear what that means they are dedicated to the slaughter of the Jewish people in this anti-Israel bias by members of the Biden administration, the media, the United Nations, that what they do. They give Hamas and Hezbollah, and Iran. Tacit permission to consent to continue their terrorist activities. What Hamas is doing is inexcusable and Israel must defend itself. In actuality I think Israel needs to. And they probably will.

They will go in and occupy Gaza in order to bring back peace and they need to do this and I tell you what, when, when they do it and I predict they will the Palestinian Authority, as well as many of the residents of Gaza will be glad the Israeli army is there because they're tired of it. To think that I think I carry I think that's right. Well it really familiar from public perspective is another option. I think that is correct and I also think the Palestinian people.

The people that are seeking peace in Palestine, they would welcome Wesley suggested they would welcome the direct interference of the Israeli army in Palestine right now Hamas in particular is a threat to Israel, Gaza is ungovernable, and much of Palestine is ungovernable right folks, give or take your phone calls final segment, covered up, 1-800-684-3110 that's 1-800-684-3110.

Thank you, are not well this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ.org where you can learn more about her life changing, member today ACLJ secure Costco to fund the photos 100 684 31 to but also through Facebook for Faye and Kathy on Facebook, rights and any chance of Congress doing anything show's strong support of Israel that I don't hear from individual members of Congress. If this keeps escalating. I could see some kind of a statement, possibly coming from this Congress, except for that the radical left control over the Democrats.

It's got a go past statement stored in any weight. We've said this of this week on the broadcast. There have been members of the Democratic Party that have made good statements I think about Sen. Rose and Sen. Menendez. Congressman Meeks even even leader Hoyer in the house all saying good things about Israel's right to defend itself but your money just give you a hard specific if they want those words to mean anything.

Why are they not insisting that the Biden administration comply with the Taylor force act that would be a way to show that actions speak louder than words. There are good words coming out of Washington, Jordan, but so far they don't have the teeth that they really need to have in this moment because I don't want to man… It is a straightforward answer.

They don't want to engage the Taylor force act because that impacts their plan on giving money to the Palestinian Authority giving money to Iran by their friendship, which never works like Chuck Schumer goes to Freddie was his job to AOC I meet somebody that this kind of kitties serious considerations of bugs leadership even on the Democrats. I think that abuse be so careful does not mean that then Harry there in a policy conundrum of sorts the Democrats because they got that hard left party that you're never in a piece, I think that is correct, but I think the central problem afflicting the Democrats is that they are confused. They are a party.

Increasingly, without principles, particularly hard rock principles and so on until they recapture any principles and until a backbone is surgically inserted into the Democratic Party. I think they are going to be in long-term trouble and just witness what they are doing with respect to US border policy on one hand, the Biden administration and their spokespeople are saying the border is close but people are walking across the border.

Hundreds of thousands in daylight and the Biden administration cannot seem to to get its act together and VP Kemal Harris are so far as I know has never yet visited the border and I think they are equally perplexed when it comes to the Middle East, need to ask is Hamas still firing rockets because during the day. It seems to be quiet enjoyment become night there very soon.

That's what you'll start seeing again late in the evening in the times I was there they wait till dark. That makes it more difficult.

Not much more difficult makes it more difficult to locate the sites they support are erratic, the situation is harder first set for you know that the first responders to respond and that it usually also leads to greater devastation for Palestinians is what they want they want to inflict devastation on Israel tear but they also want Israel to inflict a lot of damage on the Palestinians so that they can continue to somehow explain their actions. Adjuster keep try to get justifications for it. To the left, worldwide, left girls with the fact is the night. Timing of these nonaccidental nothing sectional with these groups… There.

Very clever and they're launching the rocket attacks at night gives them some measure of cover. As Jordan said, not totally, but deceit is much easier for them to get away with it at night. The thing that I find so horrible. Also, though, is that is written Israel. Israeli Defense forces doing their best to avoid civilian casualties and yet they're not only launching the rockets at night. They're launching from civilian areas and there are reports that with some of the civilians try to move away from the rocket launching base at the hospital or the school under force of arms. Hamas soldiers are forcing them to stay there because there also in a public relations campaign. They actually want to show the dead bodies of Palestinians, the can blame it on Israel. It is unthinkable that you and by the way was meeting to figure out what condemnation they can make of Israel. Yes, exactly, that that's going on right now out. Even though Israel was it was attacking attacks over and over and over again. Over these nights it looks like it will continue until until what really the UN comes out of the Palestinians like it says better docket off because we can't stop Israel right from taking over the Gaza Strip and get it once they do it again. They may never give back so I think that's were looking at the big picture here is how long will Israel allow this until they go a take back the Gaza Strip is what we see that either this week or over this weekend where Israel has reengaged the Gaza Strip and reoccupied the Gaza Strip as part of of Israel and that they put in their military police their checkpoints there and really clamp down on the Hamas government authorities. There was an obvious called New Jersey are like to have the black or dark. By the way. I lived that when I was 18 years old, and the military and I know how Debbie had. I know how they act, what document why do we have to go to that. I never got an actor never got in on why do I have assured why do they have the answer to that charter calls for the destruction of the Jewish state. That's a deterrent to counseling so they're implementing with their charters that the whole idea is to eliminate the Jewish state. It's been that idea from the very beginning.

Hamas is terrorist. Thomas is funded by the Iranians, the Iranians almost certainly provided the rockets that were being are being fired in from the Gaza Strip into Israel. There's no doubt about that and we are in the Biden administration is once to give more money to the Iranians. This is how with this is that we show J you and understand this. I was sure friendship Israel we give millions and millions of dollars.

Israel's archenemy Iran and archenemy around the reason that's how we show our friendship and are good for you that that doesn't work out too well, you know, I do think I was asked Jordan in Vanness II wonder on the political ramifications other than that the leaves and the Ileana Mark Cooley supporting Thomas here in Congress and the radical left just a radical left so that that that to leaves our largest standard iCal yes yes okay I'll see yes that a lot and actually a sizable amount of the Congressional Black Caucus also takes aside because they have been allied with leftist groups that take the side but I think you ITS that if it's weeds in our fighter jets with EISA that their Air Force neutralize key figures of the Boston intelligence music killed sidekick Koji, head of the Hamas military intelligence security department as Deputy Wally Issa, head of the military intelligence counterespionage Department of Hamas and the final light of their tweet looks like our Intel was better.

Well that's what you would understands Israel could pick off the entire Hamas leadership in moments and retake the Gaza Strip. It is our right, it from now until our Fidel Gaza could be occupied by Israel. What to get an idea they go. At this time that I go about something really quickly on unemployment did not work. Yet the government is not going to work but other than the hard left here in the bookstore mentioned the book of the Democratic Party can't be in favor of Hamas they're not, and jade.

More importantly, in blue districts and blue states. The American people support Israel. I would say this though, those voters need to stand up and insist on actions that back up those words because I gotta tell you, even though most Democrat members of Congress stand with Israel. J there's not enough action to demonstrate is to be up to the voters to insist that that happened today.

What folks we've given this unbelievable coverage analysis with right from our offices.
