I want to welcome everyone back to the Pekiniano show.

Thomas is back and we are going to take a break from the Thirty Years War series.

And Thomas has some thoughts and he wants to talk about Israel today.

So take it away, Thomas.

We discussed Israel before in dedicated series, more than one, I believe, and the Jewish state and its origins and its founding mythologies and the ideological imperatives that gave rise to the Balfour Declaration and Zionism becoming a significant global political force.

I write extensively on that, and it's a major aspect of my manuscript, which I'm pleased to announce is almost completed.

However, there's a subject matter within that broader sort of pastiche of factors that

is neglected, I think, and not just by regime-adjacent media and mainstream academic

deem.

This was on my mind not just because of this foolish talk emanating from the way else about

Iran and the ongoing attempt at subversion of the revolutionary government there.

But about some months after the 12 days war, you know, this sort of performative air war, I guess, that the Trump administration claims was targeting the Iranian nuclear program, which I don't think exists in the way that is alleged by this administration or the regime

generally. But that aside, Kameney, Supreme Leader Kameney, he made a speech.

And in it, he talked about the Zionist plan for greater Israel and the Levant, which is essentially the total ethnic cleansing of large swaths of Syria, as well as Gaza, as well as the Levant, and the replacement of the indigenous element with racial Jews as defined by the Zionist state.

Incidentally, the Zionist state defines who is a Jew in explicitly racial terms.

It's a mirror of what the Nuremberg laws were,

which is significant.

Because that's basically without precedent within Jewish life.

Okay.

And that's what Kameney said was true.

I mean, even if you don't accept the revolutionary government's position on other things,

that's accurate.
