Newsmax: Is that why Spain gets hit by attacks on every now and then?
Gilbert: No, actually, Spain is picked on because Spain was at one point in history a conquered Muslim land. In Islamic doctrine, once a land has been liberated, has becomes a part of Islamic territory, it can not be given up. If it is given up, it is an extreme high priority to recover that land.
Newsmax: If this is the hard-and-fast doctrine, then isn’t the U.S. out of the grand design, right? We don’t have a Muslim majority and we’ve never had a history of being a Muslim-conquered territory.
Newsmax: Let’s limit the question to just our own domestic security — within our borders.
Gilbert: As I explained earlier, you don’t have to worry about another terrorist attack because they got what they wanted. You can sleep tonight.
Newsmax: If the presidential candidates can have an economic summit, why can’t they have a Middle East policy summit? Just the principles in your film should be a touchstone of discussion.
Gilbert: I wish they would, I wish they would. I would love to go to something like that.
Newsmax: Let them watch your film and then give them the same opportunity to chat with you that I have had.
Gilbert: I would love to make the presentation for them and say this is the real equation. If you think the equation is terrorists want to take away our freedom and that is why they are bombing us and you are creating policies to deal with that equation — you are going to have more problems. Let me explain the real equation.
Newsmax: Certainly, sir, yours can’t be the lone voice in the wilderness.
Gilbert: You know, I get a lot of e-mails — from American military people, former American intelligence people. Anybody who has been involved in that part of the world who sees the film or read the web site will e-mail me and we have a discussion.
It’s a slow but sure process.
We’re up against a State Department that has a stubborn world view. The Western world view is everyone is loyal to their ethic area. Everyone is loyal to their geographic area. If you’re a Jordanian, you’re loyal to the King of Jordan. The film penetrates that narrow view, that misunderstanding.
Newsmax: I guess it was back in 1973; Israel was up against the wall again, and Kissinger convinced Golda Meir not to launch a peremptory attack. As a consequence, Israel suffered great losses in forces. Aren’t we playing that same game again — counseling Israel not to make a preemptory attack on Iran. Isn’t this history repeating itself?
Gilbert: There has long been a body of thought in the Jewish world, a divided body of thought, from prior to the advent of the Jewish state – at one extreme were those who weren’t really sure that they wanted to have a Jewish state. They said things like maybe in another hundred years. We’re not sure that we deserve it. We don’t want to control any Arabs in our area. This was one body of thought.
On the Right, it’s a different philosophy that Jews simply have to defend themselves, and we’re not seeking love, we’re seeking respect through our own strength.
So, those are the two schools of thought that existed, and from time to time the Left would come to power in Israel, and from time to time the right wing would come to power.
The left thought that we have to embrace and be loved by the Arabs; this is our route to security.
So in '73 the leaders on the Left sought American support before defending the country. That has been their motto for many, many years. They pretty much don’t do anything without American support. The exception, of course, is the Israeli bombing of the Iraqi reactor in ’81.
The Leftists came to power with the help and encouragement of the Clinton Administration and Europeans and this is where we are today.
Newsmax: Now that there’s this power vacuum in Israel, do you suppose Benjamin Netanyahu will step in?
Gilbert: Not really. Don’t forget, in the late 90’s, he was elected on the promise he would revoke the Oslo Peace Accords. He was elected on that promise. Instead of canceling the Accords, however, he simply continued to march at a slower pace. He did not have the political courage to follow through on his promise.
So most people on the Right in Israel believe that he is not their man.
Newsmax: Have you gotten any hints from the field that indeed your documentary has had an affect on the way we establish policy in the Middle East?
Gilbert: I did take a lot of orders initially from the Washington area. I had an order from 1700 Pennsylvania Avenue, which is the building next to the White House and I sent the people from the National War College a bunch of copies at their request. I had someone from the Giuliani’s campaign and also Bill Richardson’s campaign order it.
Why did the Jets keep Christian Hackenberg instead of Bryce Petty?
The New York Jets have begun the thinning of their crowded quarterback room.
Gang Green released quarterback Bryce Petty, the team confirmed on Thursday.
The New York Daily News first reported the news.
The decision comes as no surprise after the Jets drafted Sam Darnold with the No. 3 overall pick last week. With the first-round selection in the building and Josh McCown in-house to provide a bridge and mentor, the rest of the QB room became superfluous. The Jets also signed Teddy Bridgewater this offseason to little guaranteed money, and still have 2016 second-round pick Christian Hackenberg hanging around.
Petty was a fourth-round pick in 2015. He probably got the axe before Hackenberg because higher picks generally get a longer leash. The Jets also likely saw all they needed to see from Petty to know he would never be the answer under center.
The 26-year-old Petty started seven career games over the past two seasons (1-6 record), completing just 53.1 percent of his passes for a total of 1,353 yards with four touchdowns to 10 interceptions. The quarterback lacks NFL-caliber accuracy, struggles with his progression, and owns poor pocket presence.
With Petty out the door, the battle for the third job behind Darnold and McCown should commence. Bridgewater's contract makes it easy for the Jets to move on, especially if he's not 100 percent healthy. On the other hand, most expect the Jets to part with the uber-disappointing Hackenberg, who could be cut before he ever takes a regular-season snap.
I can’t remember the prospect of a British general election like it, and I can’t find anyone else who can either. Parties split, policies are compromised by proven behaviour in government – be it Labour, Tory or coalition – and the parties themselves appear to be a strange blur defined by the relative clarity of Ukip and the Greens. Not that either of those parties have policies that are clear, it is merely that they appear to be markedly different from the mainstream parties.
Then there is the Scotland factor, and the coalition factor. The one seems to beget the other. In other words: the rise of the SNP threatens to take a whole lot of Labour and even one-time Tory seats north of the border and Lib Dem seats out of play.
Into this morass enters the battle to interest the voter. And a battle it is. So much so that Ed Milliband is reported to have threatened to “weaponise” the debate on the NHS and now today David Cameron has said he will wage “all-out war” on mediocre schools.
It is as if the politicians, recognising the drabness of their “campaign”, are deliberately using warlike language to try to invade the airspace devoted to the language of the real wars that dog the planet.
Perhaps it is only a matter of time before mediocrity “fights” back with all the “fire-power” it can muster.
Run for your tin hat!
The leaders of the major parties – and their policies – are so broadly similar, they have to whip up the rhetoric to make us believe there’s much of any significance between them. They are all prisoners of a ruinous financial orthodoxy that is hammering the more disadvantaged people in this country and their answer is verbiage……so much verbiage for so long that I’m asking my GP for pill that will allow me to hibernate (or at least go deaf) between now & election day. While this may be fascinating to the Westminster/London media political bubble, it’s a lot less interesting that watching paint dry and even less fun!
Would a `hung’ parliament be a euphemism or a mediocrity? Either way it will be neither here nor there.
I do not like this sort of imagery as it affects subliminally receptive minds and suggests that in normal competition violence is acceptable . Don’t we have enough real wars without inventing textual wars? In fact it gives a superstrata to the essence of the spoken rhetoric which we see in historical and religious texts and years later may be taken at face value.
Perhaps it’s also the media preference for conflict stories that has contributed to this mess?
C4 deliberately aligned the riots in Athens in 2010 with the mild financial crisis in British Banks. As if those matters were somehow related? ! Even now, news editors go for the conflict rather than the consensus, and feed political battles by doing so.
And as for the Greens. They declare that each nation should be sovereign but they also say that we should all agree on a common worldwide agenda. UKIP also wants both national autonomy and international agreements. Both minority parties provide media with sticks to goad intemperate remarks from other politicians. No wonder we have dreary language spats.
Would some rational analysis of the parties’ agenda be useful to us? Don’t hold your breath!
