00:00For two years and five months, Israel has been trying to root out Hamas from Gaza.
00:0573,000 people have been killed there, and Hamas still exists.
00:09So in your view, is the Israeli military operation in Lebanon the right way to go about purging Lebanon of
00:16Hezbollah?
00:19Well, with Israel, it is never the right way.
00:22But you need to understand one thing, Tom, is that Lebanon is not in a fight with Israel.
00:31Israel is in a fight with Iran on the soil of Lebanon through Hezbollah.
00:38And the Lebanese government, who has told the Lebanese people that Hezbollah has turned in their weapons in the southern
00:47of the Litani River,
00:48based on the agreement between Hezbollah and Israel, which is called the 1701,
00:56this issue was not resolved as it should.
00:59Suddenly, we saw that the Hezbollah militia are hitting Israel from southern Lebanon.
01:06And it is, you know, ridiculous that they have done this.
01:11After they promised the president of Lebanon and the Speaker of the House, who was confirming this agreement,
01:20they were all surprised that Hezbollah is again opening fire on Israel.
01:26But you need to look at the equivalence in this war.
01:29Is Hezbollah on the same equal level with Israel regarding military action?
01:36And you need to look at the result.
01:38The results in Lebanon are devastating.
01:40You just said 800 and some killed, 2,100 injured.
01:47Half of the country is destroyed.
01:49What are the results from Hezbollah toward Israel?
01:52Almost zero.
01:54Little rocket to northern Israel.
01:58That's it.
01:58They didn't hit Tal Habib.
02:01They didn't hit Haifa.
02:02They didn't destroy electrical powers.
02:06Nothing.
02:07So is this an equal fight?
02:10Of course it's not.
02:11And the Iranian should have thought of it.
02:13It is not even an equal right between Iran and Israel.
02:17You have two powerful armies.
02:19The United States Army, the United States Army, a world international army, and a regional powerful
02:26army, more than anybody else, are fighting Israel, are fighting Iran.
02:31And look what happened in Iran today.
02:33As the news is saying, the two top officials have been also assassinated by Israel.
02:38So where is the equivalent in this war?
02:41No, there isn't.
02:42So what's going on is a wrong prediction from Iran and Hezbollah.
02:47And Iran is responsible for the destruction of Lebanon.
02:51And the Lebanese government needs to find a solution and a quick one for this disaster.
