Thanks for all your brilliant work Scott.

It would be great if you could tell us why Hamas, or Hezbollah, or Syria do not have SAMs that can bring down Israeli jets.

I have seen several headlines that Iran has retaliated against Israel and is bombing Tel Aviv as we speak. Do you have any information about this?

Check the price of gold and oil, the answer is no.

Straight talk. Much appreciated. It helps us out here in substack land better articulate these critical issues. And what us small potatoes know and think matters when there’s a lot of us. When’s the next book signing?

Thank you — a much needed compilation - hopefully weekly now.

Any chance you can include links to your outstanding interviews elsewhere?

Many thanks in advance

Dear Scott

What is currently happening in Gaza is absolutely terrifying and I am, like many others, in complete shock. Why is nobody helping the Palestinians from dying?

It is high time to take very tough measures against the Apartheid State of Israel and move to very firm and resolute actions as nobody is seriously doing anything.

In my opinion, the ultimate solution to the conflict can only come from the region and it is the responsibility of the Arab League and Iran with Turkey to act united because the Palestinian people cannot count on real aid from the United States, its European allies and even the UN whatsoever. These “Western” states will always and always bend to Israel no matter what. The Zionist lobby is too powerful.

It is therefore imperative that Arab States unite, act and speak together with one common voice:

- condemn the genocide

- call for an immediate ceasefire

- withdraw all their diplomats from Israel

- expel all Israeli diplomats from Arab countries (later also all Israelis)

- boycott all products from Israel and put an end to all forms of trade, aid and relations with Israel

- demand a sovereign and independent Palestinian state which will be built with the help and money of the Arab States – no need to ask for money and be dependent on aid from “Western” countries

- demand that the UN remove the permanent seats of the “5 nations” and their right of veto on any resolution. All nations are equal – no more privileges.

Once this is accomplished, Israel will feel strongly isolated in the region and this is what they fear the most among a very strong and united opposition from the Arab nations (you will just have to look at the map of the Middle East to realize this). The main reason they instigated all these wars in the Middle East over the past few decades with the complicity of the US and its allies was indeed to weaken each Arab state...

These and other measures could force Israel to withdraw from Gaza and peacefully end the ongoing genocide and apartheid state of Israel.

The Arab League must solidify itself as a block of strength in the future – if ever one of its members is attacked a common and immediate response will follow.

To achieve this, people with real human hearts, expertise and knowledge of the Middle East have to come together and intervene politically for the cause of the Palestinian people. These must be respected figures who act as a counterpart to Anthony Blinken, who constantly meets the heads of Arab states and actually only defends Israel and its interests. In the name of humanity courageous people like you, George Galloway and/or others must go and meet and convince the heads of Arab states who are still reluctant. (otherwise nobody will do it…) ALL possible efforts have to be concentrated on that task. The best would be if Palestinian politicians and/or representatives could join to form a very strong delegation.

Even if the chances of success are little, every possible effort has to be conducted with perseverance to persuade these governments that are still reserved (I am sure the local population and people are in favor and supportive)

And even if at first, not everyone is receptive, I am convinced that in the medium to long term they will join the right cause.

The final solution, in my opinion, will only pass through there.

Donors who have good financial means and who are for the Palestinian cause should be contacted to finance this delegation of hope.

You know by far the subject much better than me, what do you think?

I would be happy to assist.

With much respect to you.

Best regards

Olivier

Totally agree with most of your comment the issue of Palestine should be an issue most integral to the Islamic world especially in the immediate region. The Issue is Arabs live a very comfortable life and they are more concerned with improving their living conditions rather than jeopardizing their achievements in a potential war. Considering Israel's now open acceptance of having nuclear weapons coupled with the evident genocidal display against the Palestinians they are answerable to no nation nor the world on a whole. What would stop them launching nuclear strikes against population centers in the region? The US has shown they fully support any action of Israel.

Now the 5 permanent seats in the UNSC are their for a purpose. These are countries with the military capabilities to secure their geopolitical interest with force. So the Veto is just a means by which the US can protect Israel without deploying significant military assets to defend Israel against a unified UN. This is just as what happened in the Korean war with the Chinese intervention. So a veto is meant to prevent war by the nations capable of making war.
