This is a 2 minute clip from NATSUMMIT.org.
For the life of me I cannot find the full clip, nor can I find the full length of the talk. I think it would’ve been an interesting watch. Whilst not directly relevant to the Palestinian genocide, I thought it would be useful to listen to as the speaker, Philip Giraldi, packs an awful lot of valuable info in response to this question:
Is Israel an ally to the US?
Some will skip the clip so I’ve tried my best to condense the best bits below:
1. An American & Iranian war
- Giraldi explains that if The US ever went to war, it wouldn’t be because Tehran threatens America, rather it’ll be Israel and its powerful lobby in the US. The lobby will have succeeded in creating an essentially false narrative to mandate such an action.
2. Netanyahu’s comments about 9/11
Giraldi alludes to Netanyahu’s celebration of 9/11 and refers to when Netanyahu stated that ‘9/11 was good for Israel’. I’m sure anyone hearing this, American or not, would be appalled and angered by such a statement.
3. Israel’s overwhelming influence and power in The US
He goes on to comment on the danger of Israel’s lack of reluctance when using its enormous media influence in the US, to get successive administrations to accept and kneel to its own foreign and political views. It is at the expense of the American people.
4. Military aid
Giraldi goes on to attack the legitimacy and need for sending Israel billions of dollars of military assistance. Given the fact that Grant Smith, who investigated Friends of Israel, found that in the 1960s, they stole uranium from a Pennsylvania refinery. This is discussed in his book ‘Big Israel:
How Israel’s lobby moves America’.

5. Arnon Milchan
An Israeli born Hollywood producer known for box office hits including Fight Club, Pretty Woman and LA Confidential, allegedly arranged for the illegal purchase of 800 nuclear triggers. Here is an interview he did with The Guardian from a decade ago, where he openly states he was once an Israeli spy and arms dealer.

6. Spying during 9/11
There was a large scale spying effort during 9/11 that has been reported to include Israeli companies in New Jersey and Florida, as well as 100s of art students nationwide. 5 Israelis from one of the companies were observed to have taken celebratory photos against the backdrop of the twin towers going down. (An eerie resemblance of how the IDF have been seen dancing and singing in front of graves and rubble in Gaza).
7. John Cole
FBI counter intelligence officer John Cole, reported many cases of Israeli espionage that were dropped under the orders from The Justice Department. Cole estimates 125 viable investigations into Israeli and American citizens.
So in sum, those backing Israel, take heed. They aren’t your friends and they aren’t your allies.
