Ganging Up On Israel

Have you ever had a neighbor shout out that they want you to die? Do they teach their children that their greatest possible accomplishment would be to kill you and people like you?

Sara Carter says that’s how it is for Israelis. Most of their neighbors in Gaza and the West Bank want Jews dead. In fact, many parents in those areas see killing Jews as the highest possible goal for their kids.

Israeli Knesset Member Ohad Tal joins Carter to share what it was like to live through Iran’s weekend barrage of hundreds of missiles and drones aimed at his country. He and his family not only had to endure the incoming weapons, but also their Palestinian neighbors running into the streets screaming for Jews to be killed.

Iran launched a drone and missile attack into Israel Saturday night, but it appeared the Israeli defense, joined by American and British air support, destroyed the vast majority of the rocketry.

News reports suggested Iran might raise the ante to include higher-powered missiles, while the Israelis were said to be planning a counterattack. Iran said the attack constituted its response to Israel bombing Iran’s diplomatic mission in Syria, but warned Israel and its allies that further attacks could occur if they broaden the conflict.

Both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and American President Joe Biden issued statements.

Here, Breaking Points host Saagar Enjeti summarizes the fighting and discusses what it could mean for the future. Will this be a one-off event, or will it lead to a larger conflict involving more nations around the world? Could Iran’s allies, like the Houthis in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon, join the fray? Time will tell.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: There were no reported casualties, but one Israeli military base, the Nevatim Air Base, southeast of occupied Gaza in the Negev Desert, was hit by 15 missiles early Sunday. Sources said the base was severely damaged and is now inoperable.)

North Korea’s Mineral Lode

While oil has been the motivating factor for US-led wars in the Middle East, many are wondering what might be behind their belligerence towards Pyongyang. North Korea may not have oil, but the estimated value of their mineral deposits is a staggering $6 trillion, according to the South Korean government.

North Korea is sitting on world’s second-largest supply of rare earth metals, which are essential for modern electronics like laptops, smartphones, solar electricity panels and precision missiles. The United States, along with their allies Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, three major producers of sophisticated electronics, are surely interested in this vital supply of natural resources.
