Israel’s Land Grab, US Involvement, and the Coming Middle East Shockwave | Impact Theory w. Dave Smith

The conversation centers on the Israel-Palestine conflict, particularly focusing on the failure of the Abraham Accords and the potential for lasting peace. The guest, Dave Smith, argues the accords were a disaster, setting the stage for further conflict by ignoring the core issue of Palestinian subjugation. He contrasts Netanyahu's approach with Rabin's, highlighting the former's strategy of normalizing relations with Arab states by undermining regimes, rather than addressing Palestinian rights. Smith suggests ending the occupation is crucial, drawing parallels to historical conflicts like Ireland and England, and warns against Israel's expansionist policies, including ethnic cleansing in Lebanon and annexation of the West Bank. The discussion also touches on potential U.S. involvement under Trump, with differing views on whether economic or personal motivations would drive his actions.
