I don't think people have any idea what's really happening in Gaza and why it is happening.

So please give us some time to clarify things for you.

A few weeks ago, right before this war in Gaza ignites , Netanyahu goes to the United Nations General Assembly and he holds up this map and declares his plan for a new Middle East.

And people are going, what is this stupid line this guy's drawing with a red marker?
it is an economic corridor that stretches all the way from India to the United Arab Emirates into Saudi Arabia, into Jordan, Israel, and then finally to the entire European continent.

I mean, the US
at this point, their influence starting to fade, seeing the relevance of the $ recede after they stole $300B from Russia
you have all these spooks in Washington and Tel Aviv running around desperately trying to counter bricks and counter China's new Silk Road.

And this is their answer.
This is a rival to the new Silk Road.
Remember, the ancient Silk Road is the largest, most important trade route in human history.
This thing is enormous.
It stretches all the way from China to Syria to the Mediterranean Sea.

The Chinese know how important this thing is, and they want to revive it.
It is the future of world economics, trade and politics.
Within the span of a few weeks, iran and Iraq have signed a railway deal.

So now you have a rail link for the new Silk Road.
And President Assad of Syria N.B 📒(War criminal) , is now visiting China, the world's largest economy, and signing a strategic partnership.
This is pivotal.

So now the new Silk Road has rail access all the way to the Mediterranean Sea through Sirius port in Latakia.
So not just land, but maritime trade.
This is crucial.
And as enormous and important as all of this is, this is just one aspect.
(You still have the gas.)

How can we talk about the Middle East without talking about gas and oil?
When the US instigated the Maidan coup in 2014, that wasn't just about NATO expansion and encirclement of Russia.

This was about surrounding, controlling and cutting off Russian gas to Europe.
Russia is the country with the largest proven reserves of natural gas.
Control Ukraine, and you control the pipelines that feed and supply Russian gas to Europe.

For decades, you've had US politicians, Republican and Democrat, every administration, openly saying on camera, we don't want NS.
There will be we there will be no longer a NS too.
We will bring an end to it.
You want to have pipelines that don't go through Ukraine and Russia.

For years, we've tried to get the Europeans to be interested in different pipeline routes.
It's time to do that.
You want to depend more on the North American energy platform, the tremendous bounty of oil and gas that we're finding in North America.

Nord stream, one and two are blown up.
I mean, this is without question the most egregious the largest terrorist attack on European infrastructure in modern history.
There are only three countries on this planet that can pull this off.
They are Russia, Britain and the US.

let me tell you, it was not Russia.
You combine that with the sanctioned packages from the European Union banning Russian oil and gas, I mean, talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

So now there's no more Russian gas coming into Europe. And just like that, the United States have achieved a long standing foreign policy objective.

Now, the only other country with enormous gas reserves, the second largest in the world, is Iran.
Iran signed the nuclear deal in 2015 and 2016.
They're complying in every way imaginable.
The IAEA at the UN cannot be happier.
And then the United States

And then the United States, the guys who orchestrated the whole deal, go back on their word and they rip it up, just like that and reimpose sanctions on Iran.
So now Iran is barred from selling its oil and gas to Europe and others.

So Russia and Iran, the two countries with the largest gas reserves, are out of the picture.
Then Israel all of a sudden proposed themselves as a solution to the European Union's gas shortages. Take our trilateral energy, for example, that we closed in June with Egypt and Israel.

In 2010, they conduct a geological survey and find this monstrous giant gas field in the Middle East.
It's called the Leviathan, and it's in the Mediterranean Sea on the Levantine basin.
That means it's right off the coast of Palestine , Lebanon and Syria.

Syria initially declines, offers over its gas reserves, and simultaneously refuses to lay pipes for a Qatari gas project.
What a coincidence.
Barely a year later, war breaks out in Syria.
And who's funding it?
Israel and the US are just some of the parties funding and running.

this war to overthrow the government in Damascus.
Today, the United States control one third of Syria.
They control all of Syria's oil fields.
And Israel is bombing Syria's most vital port, Latakia, on a regular basis.

So they're cutting off all the oil revenue and destroying crippling any maritime activity, such as trade, such as gas exploration.
Another major port on the Levantine coast is in Beirut, which mysteriously explodes in 2020.

And so Israel, proposing itself as a solution to Europe's gas shortages, shows up with an FPSO, this enormous gas extraction vessel, and tries sealing gas from Lebanon's Karish gas field.

And this reignites a huge maritime border dispute.
And Israel has to go and beg the United States to solve this diplomatically because Hazballah said, if you steal one cubic inch of our gas, we will fire our missiles on your ship.
Now we come to Gaza.

Gaza is also a concentration camp run by the Israelis and it's been under siege , under naval blockade since 2007.
I mean you can't even fish properly, let alone extract gas.
And so now the Lebanese, the Syrian, thePalestinian ports, they're all out of action.

And the only working port left in coast is the Israeli port on Haifa.
I mean how convenient.
This makes Israel the only one able to explore gas and implement an economic corridor like the one that Netanyahu held up at the UN.

So in other words, Israel and the United States together, killed off all the competition, stole their goods and cornered the market.

But as winter is approaching, israel desperately need to get that gas for Europe.
But there's no stability, there can never be stability in the region without solving the Palestinian question.
And so when Netanyahu shows up at the UN with his brilliant know, the Israelis thought

oh, it's a done know, they'll just get Saudi Arabia to normalize ties and thereby extinguish the Palestinian issue once and for all.

And that is precisely why they are in Gaza, slaughtering Palestinians like crazy, like they're in berserker know, Israel has bombed Gaza before, but this surpasses anything we've ever seen which is truly saying something.

I mean this is know, calling people human animals and massacring them.
Israel is just hoping the Palestinians will run away in fear into the desert.
They've literally said this, they want to put them in the desert.

They want people in Gaza to go to the Sinai Desert and push the people in the West Bank into Jordan.
This is genocide and ethnic cleansing without question.

But it also has economic and geopolitical implications.
Hamas and the collective resistance when they found out about Israel's plan and Saudi Arabia's wishes to normalize ties with Israel, which would destroy any hope of a Palestinian state, I mean this forced their hand.

It became clear they needed to act and respond immediately, lest Palestine be lost forever.

For Palestinians, this is and always has been a matter of life and death.
To be or not to be.
Either the resistance axis and the global south expel the American and Israeli colonizers from the Middle East, or Israel and the United States will continue occupying the region,

choking off the new Silk Road, plundering Syria's oil and keeping Russian, Iranian and Arab gas cut off from the world market.
This is a decisive moment, and not just for Palestine, because the victors will end up drawing the new map of the world to come.
