00:00Now we are going, Adrian, we are going back to another, to once again, to one of the most important
00:06issues that are driving the people's intentions precisely ahead of this election and today.
00:13And it remains to be seen how impactful it is going to be in the outcome.
00:17And that is the Middle East crisis and the role that is being played by the U.S. precisely in
00:22this war on Iran.
00:24And that is because we are having at this moment introducing our new special guest, Juan Gabriel Caro Rivera, who
00:32is a researcher and Middle East analyst that has a master's degree as well in history and is a founding
00:39member of the Vanguardia Colombia Group.
00:42Hello, welcome to our special program, Juan Gabriel.
00:46Thank you very much for your time and accepting as well our invitation.
00:53Thanks for calling me. It's a pleasure to be here.
00:56From a historical perspective, Juan Gabriel, how should we understand the origins in this ongoing conflict that is taking place
01:06between the United States that has been actually imposed illegally by the United States on Iran?
01:14Well, it's a good question.
01:17The first word is United States and Israel want to attack new, again, Iran.
01:26The attack of Netanyahu and Donald Trump in the Epic Fury operation, who destroyed and tried to annihilate for all
01:38the government of Iran and the establishment of this country,
01:46was a proof of the ambitions of Israel and the United States to try to annihilate all enemies in this
01:59region, in Middle East.
02:00In the Middle East, elections whose United States are now in the process of democracy are the mirror of the
02:13elections in Israel.
02:15In Israel, in Israel, Netanyahu, who is a radical nationalists who want to expand Israel to create the great Israel
02:25with the power of all the old notes,
02:30power of the force of Israel and the army are a failure.
02:38And the opposition of Netanyahu was weakening the power of the prime minister of Israel.
02:48In this moment, the elections in Israel has weakened very much the power of the coalition that Netanyahu used to
02:59dominate his state.
03:03In the United States, it's probably that Trump and the Republicans lost the Senate and other instants of government,
03:15and that will kill him more Trump.
03:19It's possible that the mirror of Israel was the future of Trump in these contents of democracy.
03:27But Trump and Netanyahu are not wanting to stop it.
03:35Netanyahu is pushing and pushing and pushing Trump to attack again Israel and the Pentagon,
03:42United States, the United States, the United States, the United States, the United States, the United States and the United
03:57States are preparing a new attack against Israel,
04:02against Iran, against Iran, sorry.
04:05This attack is the response of Trump to the loss of the, of the loss of the, the loss of
04:18the election in the United States,
04:22in the middle and the, in the middle terms elections.
04:25This is his plan, and he was pushing more to complete his goals before the new Congress put down his,
04:38his ambition.
04:41Also, how, where can we place the Palestinian cause and the genocide that is taking place in Gaza
04:47in the midst of this wider conflict scenario that is happening in the Middle East?
04:54Well, the Middle East, uh, war is very probable.
05:00It's very difficult to say there is no, uh, tornado pace in the future, in the near future, for example.
05:09Uh, it's impossible.
05:11The opposition of Netanyahu is very, is also a, uh, nationalists, uh, want to destroy the, the,
05:22the, the, the Palestinians equally, but they are more modernized than Netanyahu.
05:29The, the thing is the genocide in Gaza is a reality.
05:34The, the, the Israel were, well, were not, uh, stopped the genocide.
05:41They don't want, uh, they want, uh, they want, uh, applicate the same model to Gaza, to Syria or the
05:51south of Lebanon.
05:53They want to create a great Israel, and they want, uh, apply this model one and one more in other
06:01parts.
06:02Uh, the genocide will not stop it with the, the, the, with the war of Iran.
06:07And it's probably the war of Iran, uh, maybe United States stopped the attack, uh, and, uh, say to Netanyahu,
06:17there, there is no, uh, possible to attack again the Iran.
06:22But the genocide of Gaza is a imperative of the power of Sionis in this moment.
06:30And all, um, all political force in Israel in this moment are nationalists, are writers, and are extremists.
06:42Uh, this is, uh, this is the reality, uh, only maybe the, the, the Arabs least is, um, is maybe
06:51the only force who opposes that.
06:53But the other force in Israel don't want to stop the, the genocide of Gaza.
06:59Also, Juan Gabriel, I'm joined here by Adrian, Adrian Pine.
07:04She is an international analyst as well, and she also wants to be involved in our conversation.
07:09She also has a question for you at this hour.
07:14Hi, Juan Gabriel.
07:16Uh, one of the things that we've seen in this U.S. elections is a tremendous interference in the electoral
07:24process on, both on the part of Trump, but also from Israel, right?
07:28Through AIPAC and through, um, massive social media campaigns and even trying to change the algorithms of artificial intelligence
07:38to convince people to vote for pro-Israel candidates.
07:42Um, of course, I, you know, this is something we've seen as well throughout Latin America in the past year.
07:49And I'm wondering, um, if you can help us put that into context.
07:53What does it mean that, uh, that Israel, in conjunction with the United States, with, with the Trump administration, in
08:00this case, um, have played such a strong role in undermining elections throughout the hemisphere?
08:08And, uh, and what would it mean, um, if, uh, if the, the voters of the United States really reject
08:16that?
08:18Well, that is a good question.
08:21I am from Colombian, and my country was interfered by the United States and the state of Israel.
08:30Uh, for example, with the, uh, the, uh, the AIPAC and, uh, algorithms to vote and, uh, chosen, uh, Abelardo
08:43de la Spriela, uh, who president of Colombia.
08:47Uh, this is a reality with America, uh, Latin America as, uh, as a whole, uh, is, um, it is
08:58under the pressure of Israel and United States to reconfigurate the, the region, um, prepare, uh, uh, example.
09:07For example, uh, United States is, uh, well, more than United States, Israel has lost very many, very much support
09:17of, of all countries in the, in the world, especially in Europe and Middle East.
09:23Uh, and they need, uh, and they need, uh, more support for other parts of the world.
09:31They, they are launched a campaign to Africa and Latin America to reinforce his position in the Middle East because,
09:41uh, the sanctions, uh, the, uh, loss of credibility of the, of Israel in all parts of the global South.
09:51Uh, in this moment, uh, in this moment, uh, the use of programs like, uh, the spyware, Pegasus, for example,
09:59in my country, or the use of algorithms, uh, metadata, that, that in United States to, uh, manipulate the people
10:09and use this force of cultural wars to, uh, manipulate the, uh, manipulate the elections is a reality.
10:20They are want, uh, they want, uh, they want, uh, uh, choosing he, the, the power of the, of all
10:32countries in the world.
10:35Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
10:42uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
10:44uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
10:54uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
10:58uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
11:00uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
11:02for the academics and universities and now he is more independent by that but the power of the
11:13Zionist lobby is very very strong in United States but even the Zionists know the United
11:24States United States public opinion is changing now they know even the Nationalists and Righteous
11:35people are not going to support United States well United States Israel Alliance for more time
11:45Israel is now trying to to create new supports in other countries because the popularity and the
11:57public opinion in United States is destroying this is saying we could be Trump and the Zionist
12:07Christian who support his government also when Gabriel this puts the scope as well in something
12:16that you mentioned that I want to highlight and retake and like dissected and that is the role
12:22of the American Israel public public affairs comedy APAC and its role precisely in electoral processes
12:30not just this one but in previous ones this one actually this year APAC announced that it was
12:36not investing in non-candidates but is it really what is happening or is it finding other ways to do
12:43so
12:43to influence precisely this and and and and many other electoral processes in the US
12:53well United United States
12:58it's in a crucial election these midterms I don't know what where are the well will the the result of
13:11the of these elections we don't don't know and we need to hope or wait to the count of of
13:21the people who vote in these elections to save
13:26and what happened but there's a thing we know about the Zionist lobby in United States they are they try
13:38to to
13:40and pushing down the United States to a war against the end in Middle East the war against Iran is
13:52not a war who need to liberate or or need the support of the United States citizens the the majority
14:06of people don't want a war with Iran
14:09and only the IPAC and the lobby Zionist lobby in all in the Republican and Democratic Party who who are
14:34the United States to support the United States to support the United States to support his narrative the narrative about
14:43the war in Middle East I want to believe the United States people will support other
14:52and external
14:55and external politics about this time but we don't know where where this going on to do and we only
15:07need to wait the results
15:12also Juan Gabriel this also puts puts I mean to offer an example of the way in which the Zionist
15:19lobby is is performing precisely in the midst of this election inevitably we have to go to Michigan because there
15:27is an interesting race that is taking place and with with as El Said who is Muslim and is running
15:36as well for the Senate race and there has been a last
15:40last minute circumstance
15:41and that is with the last minute circumstance tension that is coming from Michigan at this hour and that is
15:46with Democrat Haley Steven who lost to him in the primaries of the Democrats she yesterday just a few hours
15:55before elections and before the polls to be open she turned against El Said and said that she was endorsing
16:03his Republican rival
16:06what does this mean she is it is important to say that she is a Zionist as well and this
16:13speaks do you think or is this do you agree with me that is putting the scope on whether her
16:20loyalties are with the Democratic Party or with the side with with the Israeli regime
16:27well I think the Zionist lobby in the United States there there is a force to have a very much
16:38influence in all parties and all members in the United States obviously there are progressive
16:48in the Democratic Party who support these Muslims and these Muslims senators who are gaining more and more popularity because
17:02Trump and Zionist lobby are destroying even his own government to save Israel and follow the Netanyahu orders
17:17this is a reality but there there is a reality to the Zionist lobby is a pushing others others others
17:31candidates in Democratic Party Republican Party to do his his his his his goals this is a reality
17:46the Zionist lobby is not a Republican or Democratic lobby is a lobbyist is a lobbyist is a lobbyist to
17:58support Israel and Israel have connection with people in all in all country in the United States parties
