00:00But then maybe if Israel was to come up with some sort of peace, lasting peace with Palestinians, that it would take the wind out of the Iranian sails.
00:08They would not have a reason to be able to target Israel and America, its biggest ally.
00:13So when people put that argument forward, how do you respond?
00:16Well, in that case, in my opinion, I think Israel's actions against Iran are only because they're defending the people under the occupation of the Islamic Republic.
00:26So does that sound like a good story?
00:29Does that sound like a good and honest narrative?
00:31Does anybody in the world believe that Israel's actions are to defend the Iranian people from this terrorist regime?
00:38Of course not. It's absolutely asinine to make such a claim.
00:42And I can tell you how it's asinine, because if the Islamic Republic cared about oppression,
00:47then why is it oppressing with such brutality, with the state machinery of violence, the Iranian people?
00:54And not only that, not only that, but in fact, there have been Arab separatist movements inside of Iran that aim to do the same thing,
01:04to separate, to balkanize Iran and create a separate Arab state.
01:08The Islamic Republic kills people, kills Arab Iranians for doing that.
01:13So how can you claim to be standing with Arabs in a different land who are trying to do the same thing?
01:17It's such clear propaganda.
01:20It is such obvious propaganda to claim to be standing against oppression and fighting on behalf of the oppressed while actively oppressing.
01:28So I just think it's such an absurd line of propaganda that it's not even close to believable.
