Opinions Clash In The ‘Iran, Israel, Palestine’ Debate
“War In The Middle East”
This [past] weekend marked a major escalation in the long-running conflict between Israel and Iran, with the latter launching what some called a “performative” barrage of missiles at Israel amid the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Iran says the matter is “concluded” (for now) but remains “in a state of readiness” to deliver a “massive and harsh response” if Israel launches the “tiniest invasion,” while Israel’s former chief of Mossad, Zohar Palti, warned that striking Iranian nuclear facilities “is on the table.”
The UK, France, and Germany have sent top-ranking diplomats to Israel in order to urge de-escalation of the crisis, while the Biden administration is also said to be not be on board with Israel directly striking back on the Islamic Republic. PM Netanyahu, however, said ‘we will make our own decisions’ on security.
Meanwhile, there is no hope in sight for any resolution on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Palestine where an unprecedented humanitarian crisis has erupted.
Let’s Debate
On April 17th, ZeroHedge hosted a debate on the issue: participants discussed everything from how the Biden administration should (or should not) respond, to whether Israel’s actions in Gaza, Syria and Lebanon are morally justified vs. the actions of Hamas.
- Defending Israel was talk show host Dennis Prager and Newsweek opinion editor Batya Ungar-Sargon.
- Taking the opposing position were be Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur and libertarian Dave Smith.
- The debate was be moderated masterfully by Saagar Enjeti, founder of Breaking Points.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

Well, well, well. That means the distraction and divide and conquer are working. What better choice to divide than the Mid East vs Israel since the Ukr and Russia aren’t working well. The elites have us arguing once again and not looking at those causing the problem to begin with. We’re being manipulated every time we argue. Divide and conquer, unite and win.
