Secret America LIVE - Episode 75 - Interview w/ Eric Burlison - The Truth is out [30:44-35:46]
Yeah. So, so the, yeah, nobody's ever really carried out a threat to me. Hey, I would, I've got to ask you this. I know you know, Marjorie Taylor Green pretty well. She has caught a lot of hell. And we, we've got to talk about the issue, the elephant in the room, so to speak, GOP, is this division within our party over Israel. Yeah. And I'm just going to say personally, I admire the hell out of that woman for standing firm on her principles. What are your thoughts? So, I think that there is, it, to me, it's not that cut and drive an issue. I think that, I, I, I think that the people in Israel have a right to be there. I think that Israeli people have a right. And when people say, from the river to the sea, that is a anti, I have no problems. And that is an absolutely anti-Semitic rhetoric. Oh, yeah. Because you're basically telling a people group that, that have lived there longer than Native Americans lived in the United States. Okay. And, and, and existed there. And I, and to say that they don't have a right to be there or that they are colonizers is ridiculous. They were displaced throughout time, but not everybody. And I think that what some people kind of forget that part of history is that even when Israel was taking a captivity in Babylon, there was still a remnant of Jews that stayed behind. Yeah. And, and, and those settlements, they just didn't have any political power. Everything was being controlled out of out of out of a Babylon. But, you know, and then whenever they, so they returned, right? You know, and, and they were allowed to return. So they resettle rebuilt the temple. And then they, then, then you had the modern times where, where they were dispersed into, you know, Eastern Europe and beyond. And then, after World War II, they were able to come back. But even, even before World War II, there were Israelites that were living and had always been living in that area. Yeah. So this, and if you ever go to Israel, you'll realize it's very much like the United States. You have a home where they will have prominent display of, of the star David on their home. Next to a home that has the, the, the Muslim press at moon. Next to another home that has the Christian cross. Okay. And so that, that is what it, that is what Israel allows. And which is why the fact that they, the fact that they are tolerant to their face is, I think, not acceptable to the, to the Shia Muslim community. And, and so I think that it does, I think that there's a balance here. I don't think that we also, it doesn't categorically mean that every decision that Israel makes is something that we have to support. No, no, it's definitely not. So to me, I will fight to make sure that, that we have, that we continue our alliance with Israel to make sure that they're, that nation is protected. That because it is particularly a free country existing and it's one of our top out. It's probably is our number one ally in the world. But it doesn't mean that we have to agree with everything that, that, that, that, Benjamin that, yeah, who does. No, no, no, definitely, you know, I mean, you know, it just depends on, you know, your, your own values, which you agree on or not. But I can, I mean, I agree with what you're saying. One thing, one thing I do want to know and it's a good thing you brought up, you know, the Christian cross. Now, Christians are being, you know, systematically slaughtered in Nigeria, you know, the whole, the whole genocide that's happening over there. President Trump did finally say something about it. He said, you know, that they're going to make sure that it stops. How, how would you feel about, say, say they didn't stop, say they kept killing, because apparently it's been like 33,000 or something has been, or I don't remember how many thousand it's been that's been killed. I'm sorry, James 1000 since 2009. Oh, yeah, so they, I mean, they've been, they've been killing them, you know, a lot. 50,000 since 2009, yeah. Yeah, so how do you feel about, how would you feel about boots on the ground to help save the Christians in Nigeria if other measures don't work? I think that that would be a last resort. I think that you can, you can probably do a lot through sanctions.
