A stunned Jimmy Dore asks Prof. Marandi to explain why Lebanese leaders are seemingly colluding with Israel against their own people during wartime?
US comedian & political commentator Jimmy Dore (@jimmy_dore) recently asked Iranian Professor Muhammad Marandi (@s_m_marandi) to explain why the current Lebanese government was seemingly colluding with Israel against its own people'?
Transcript (below):
- Jimmy Dore: Um, why would Lebanon be…why would the government of Lebanon...so it's almost like they're, they're in collusion with the people attacking them? Is that, is that what I'm...is that what I'm hearing you say?
- Prof. Marandi: Yes. That's exactly what they’re doing…
- Jimmy Dore: I don't understand ...I... can you explain that? Why would they, why would they be in collusion with people attacking their own country? I don't understand this.
- Prof. Marandi: Well, there's a lot of that going on in our region because almost all of the countries in our region are in the US camp, and they are mostly proxies of the United States. Some may have a bit more independence, like in Türkiye, some less independence, but they're all in the American camp.
And the Americans, and with the help of Saudi Arabia and others, installed the current president and the prime minister, and they've been carrying out peace negotiations with the Israeli regime, which is against the constitution of the country, and which is a huge concession to the regime as it's killing people in southern Lebanon. And, they're basically obedient to the United States. They were put in place, put in power by the Americans, and they will pursue American policies.
And so Western NGOs in Lebanon, which have a lot of funding, they promote, and the Western embassies, they promote these positions... and the same is true with those who are funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the others in the Persian Gulf, these despots that are in the American camp. They're all against the people who support the resistance. So they're preventing aid from getting in, they're preventing (displace Lebanese citizens) from moving to different parts of Lebanon as refugees...and they're preventing us from sending aid. Why? Because they want to crush the resistance. They want to humiliate them. They want to bring them to their knees because that's what empire wants. That's what the empire demands.
- Jimmy Dore: Wow. Um, so it's, it's…
- Prof. Marandi: I mean, Jimmy, let's just go back to Yemen. Remember when the Saudis and the Emiratis waged that genocidal war in Yemen?
- Jimmy Dore: Yes…
- Prof. Marandi: What they were doing to Yemen is not all that different to what was going on in Gaza and in Lebanon. All these regimes in our region were supporting this. They all supported the Saudis and Emiratis. The West were giving—they sent advisors. They were giving weapons, ammunition, so that the Saudis could wipe them out.
I remember a former US official—someone who became critical—he said that he was actually on the ship in the Red Sea, an American naval ship, and they stopped a boat that was taking medicine, (that was) smuggling medicine into Yemen, and they went and dumped all that medicine into the sea. That was during the genocidal war against Yemen. All these countries were supporting the Saudis and the Emiratis, including Qatar and Türkiye. But later on, Qatar and Türkiye split from the Saudis when the Saudis and Emiratis imposed that siege on Qatar.
So this is not new. None of these countries helped the people of Gaza. None of them gave a single bullet to the people of Gaza to defend themselves. Türkiye…(and) the regime in Azerbaijan, (which) sells cheap oil Israel. Türkiye, under Erdogan, transports that oil to Israel. Even now, when there's global shortage, they are sending their oil (to Israel). Sisi (and) the Egyptian government, (they) buy gas from the Israeli regime. The Jordanian government does trade and collaborates with intelligence. Syria, a huge part of their country is now occupied. They won't lift a finger to end the occupation, and they're actually collaborating against the resistance in Lebanon. And in the Persian Gulf, we saw how they assisted the United States in invading Iran. They are part of the aggression against the country. So, you know, the empire is on the decline, but its power has always been very quite immense.
- Jimmy Dore: so, I mean, I'm sure you've heard people from Naftali Bennett to, you know, everybody's saying that the next war for Israel and the Greater Israel project is going to be with Türkiye. And so isn't Türkiye aware of this? Why, why would they still be…
- Prof. Marandi: You know, Jimmy, there are many questions in this world that I'd love to have the real answers to. I have my own views, but, you know—Tucker Carlson, you saw his interview with the US ambassador (to Israel)—
- Jimmy Dore: Yes ... to Israel.
- Prof. Marandi: And in that interview, the ambassador said if the Israelis take the entire region, that's fine. That includes parts of Türkiye, that includes all of Syria, that includes Lebanon, that includes Jordan, that includes part of Iraq, that includes major parts of Saudi Arabia, that includes parts of Egypt. What did these governments do? What did they say? Nothing. Nothing. They just wrote a, a joint communique saying this, you know, they condemn this. That's it?! That is the real policy of the United States. That is the policy of European governments, the unofficial policy, Greater Israel, and that's why they're allowing for the slaughter in Gaza, the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank.
I mean, European diplomats just today, they've been tweeting about—(I mean) European diplomats in Israel—they have been tweeting about participating, I think, in the, uh, pride, what's it called?
- Jimmy Dore: Pride parade. The gay pride…
- Prof. Marandi: Yeah, the gay pride parade. But they don't tweet about Gaza. They don't tweet about ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. You know? So this is the world that we live in…
Israel will control the US military! As it should.
And guess who Don Jr married? Yes, the son of the biggest Epstein criminal protector marries the daughter of Epstein's personal banker. You can't make this stuff up.
The world is being carved up in rooms you’re not allowed into.

The Berlin Wall fell in a night because millions showed up.
We are that many people. Time to show up.

🚨 BREAKING UPDATE: THEY WONT LET HIM OUT! Canadian Physicist Detained After Exposing Chinese Interference in Vancouver?
A brilliant young physicist, Nicholas Jordan Wagter, gets pulled over... and hauled off under the Mental Health Act.
His "crime"?
Documenting what he calls a coordinated takeover... Chinese police stations, foreign influence ops, and Canadian bills (C-8, C-9, C-15) turning Vancouver into a "dictatorship police state."
Watch this screen recording of his Instagram + full Google Doc (packed with citations, reports on illegal stations, and warnings).
He even lists his physics credentials and breakthroughs.
Is this legitimate concern mixed with stress... or a convenient way to silence someone shining light on real foreign interference?
Why detain a researcher citing official reports instead of investigating the claims?
How many more "mental health" holds for critics of CCP influence?
If he's wrong, debate the evidence... don't disappear him.
If he's right, what are we ignoring?
This hits different after years of denied interference scandals.
Share if you want transparency, not cover-ups.

Demand answers.
Let me know what you think,
and SHARE THIS so that others may too.
And if you're not already following @TrueOnX... What the heck are you doing?!
Mario, this is why I refuse to go back on your podcast.
Why don’t you do some basic research before opining on topics you know nothing about.
Russia targeted legitimate military command and control locations, and defense industry and logistics sites.
The collateral damage to civilian targets is the byproduct of Ukraine’s inadequate air defense.
You’re an embarrassment to the notion of “informed analysis.”
You’re nothing more than a click-bait bot pushing anti-Russian narratives.
The public school system is not only designed to dumb you down, but to train you to be obedient to the children of the rich and powerful - who receive a different education in how to operate as the future ruling class.
