1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Now, if it's any help to those chained to Nikola

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Willis's office, there is a decent piece of ready yesterday

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: about whether Israel was heading towards a South Africa moment.

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: A further in an interview this week Netnya who seems

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: to accept that some sort of isolation was the price's

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: country was and is paying for as a result of

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: this particular war. But none of that, None of that

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: has been brought about by people chaining themselves to door handles,

9
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: nor would the cause have been advanced in any way,

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: shape or form by a Nicola taking communion with them,

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: nor indeed by the march that wandered through parts of

12
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: Auckland over the weekend. What has led the war to

13
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: this point is several faults. Firstly, Hamas started. This is

14
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: an indisputable fact. The raid of two years ago was

15
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: entirely on them. What happened next has happened numerous times

16
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: in one form or another, Hamas starts at Israel respond

17
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: that responded the way they have this time once again

18
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. One it was particularly brazen attack,

19
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: and two America has a president that doesn't mind the

20
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: sort of retaliation that's taken place. Never before have we

21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: seen drawings of a new Middle East with millions of

22
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: Gars living in a trump like Fularidian utopia. Now it

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: is fair to suggest events of the last few days

24
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: i e. The attack and guitar has pushed the Americans

25
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: to the limit of not beyond. But you will note

26
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: that Rubio is currently in the Middle East and still

27
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: shaking hands with Netanyahoo and still happy to be seen

28
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: in the photo. Meantime, back here, nuns are chained door handles,

29
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: people wave flags, and the angst and the media over

30
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: whether we will recognize Palestine next month in New York

31
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: is palpable. But to reiterate, at no point do any

32
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: of our actions make a jot of difference. And once

33
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: this particular chapter is over, in whatever form that takes,

34
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: we will go back to a relative stable period of

35
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: coexistence until someone does something stupid all over again, which

36
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: of course they will. This story has been told many, many, many,

37
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: many many times over. When hate drives the narrative, nothing

38
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: ever really changes. For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast,
