Trita Parsi Reacts to Hillary Clinton Trying To Save Israel
Trita Parsi joined The Young Turks to discuss Hillary Clinton's recent comments on Israel and the Netanyahu government. Clinton stated that while she loves Israel, she hates Netanyahu's policies, arguing they are bad for both Israel and the U.S. Parsi responded that Clinton's framing is wrong, suggesting it's an attempt to make Netanyahu a fall guy and return to unchecked U.S. support for Israel, framing the occupation as a systemic issue rather than a Netanyahu-specific problem.
The discussion centers on whether criticisms of Israel's actions are aimed at specific leadership or represent a broader systemic issue, with implications for future U.S. foreign policy and support for Israel.
The episode also covers Donald Trump's war with Iran, the Houthis' takeover in the Red Sea, and the geopolitical implications of Iran's growing power.
