THE DEFINITIVE RAP: Israel Training for Military Options Against Iranian Nuclear Sites While the Biden Administration Pursues a "Diplomatic" Resolution. Barry Shaw - Israel Institute for Strategic Studies

This week, as Jews around the world celebrate Chanukah – the festival of lights, and the triumph of good over evil, there are many troubling issues facing Israel and the Jewish people.  Joining us today from Israel, is Barry Shaw from the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies, to tell us how the Israeli Government and people are viewing the incompetence of this Administration. In the beginning of the interview, Barry observed and contrasted how US Administrations who have been hostile to Israel, have suffered economically and otherwise, back home, citing specifically, the Obama and Biden Administrations. Whereas under President Trump, who was very good to Israel and the Jewish people, Americans prospered. He also discussed the different approaches taken by Bibi Netanyahu and the current Israeli leaders, Bennett and Lapid, in conveying their positions on Iran with their American counterparts. During the interview, issues were raised such as how the US Administration is stubbornly determined to re-enter nuclear talks with Iran, in spite of the violations uncovered by nuclear inspectors, and Iran vowing to launch a nuclear attack against Israel. Recently, An Iranian commander said, “We will not back off from the annihilation of Israel.” A recent report from the IAEA states that Iran has enough uranium enriched to nearly 20 and 60%, to produce a single nuclear weapon in as little as 3 weeks. Barry told us that while the US and Europe continue to engage in appeasement diplomacy, The IDF is in accelerated mode in preparing for the eventuality that military operations will be required to end Iran’s nuclear program.  This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
