US policy is leading to a wider war: Jeffrey Sachs on Middle East tensions | UpFront

Marc Lamont Hill discusses US policy in the Middle East and the risks of escalation with renowned scholar Jeffrey Sachs.
Six months into Israel’s war on Gaza, fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East are mounting. On April 13, Iran launched more than 300 drones and missiles towards Israel in an unprecedented attack. The strike came after Israel’s April 1 bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria that killed two top generals.
Israel vowed retaliation and, less than a week later, reportedly launched a drone strike on Isfahan, in central Iran. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States has “not been involved in any offensive operations”. But the US government has announced new sanctions on Iran, including on its drone production, and urged de-escalation.
So what lies ahead? And is the US doing enough to avert a wider regional conflict?
On UpFront this week, Marc Lamont Hill talks to Columbia University Professor and Special Advisor to the United Nations Jeffrey Sachs about US foreign policy and rising tensions in the Middle East.

Peace is the mirage. When has peace ever existed? Violence is life. False Peace, False Democracy, False Socialism, False Communism… sheep herders meat butchers, fish netting, man slaving. Tell me when there is ever peace. This is about life, consciousness, love. Not peace. Consider the war, death, and life within each biological life form. Peace is when nothing is moving, nothing is going on, no leaves are falling, no clouds are forming. Love and cherish, question all authorities. That’s a must. Taking Advantage is War. Feeding into it is war. Prejudice and racial supremacy is war. Now harmonizing is a real goal. Peace is a carrot in front of a captured domesticated human.

Even worse is the reason the U.S. rep Robert Wood gave: “We have long called on the Palestinian Authority to aundertake necessary reforms to help establish the attributes of readiness for statehood and note that Hamas, a terrorist organisation, is currently exerting power and influence in Gaza - an integral part of the State envisioned in this resolution,” he said. The U.S. UN representative is not stupid. He knows Hamas' military wing, which (like the IDF) has committed terrorist acts, makes up about a 1/3 of the org while the other 2/3 is a bureaucracy of administrators, politicians, etc. Even if the military wing stopped its operations today Hamas would not suddenly vanish and disappear into thin air. Just a pitifully pathetic excuse to block Palestine's admission into the UN.

Really? It's not even actually genocide. People like you don't even seem to know what that actually means. You just know it's bad so you say it thinking it helps your argument, but you just sound dumb. Israel would have to be killing literally every Arab person they could find for it to be actual genocide. That's not what they're doing. They're fighting to eliminate a terrorist organization, and they have every right to do that. It's absolutely nothing like the holocaust, and it's not even the worst war of the last year. Maybe think next time before writing some nonsense like this.

Paradigm shift, By destroying the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Israel broke international law and endangered world peace. Iran responded in a very balanced way by using its old drones and missiles to do little damage. If Israel once again celebrates aggression, it will definitely be excluded from the world community. Iran will be a far more attractive partner for the USA in the Persian Arab region than Israel. Israel will have to accept this, unless it wants to risk an Iran-Israel war, which would also mean the end of Israel. A paradigm shift is currently taking place and that is encouraging. But what we need now is the UN's irrevocable recognition of the Palestinian state so that the Palestinian population can live in security, self-determination and freedom

They don't want peace, and they've said that themselves. They're far too unstable, hateful, and radical for the US to ever consider them anything but a problem. Also you think Iran meant for all their drones to fail? They might say that to try to save face, but that's not what happened. They simply failed.

Both sides of US politics are bad for the world and Palestine state. And their foreign policy is out of date as the Prof. indicated, totally agreed. The democratic side is more anti-Russia while the Republican side is more anti-China and more arrogance on display.

@@tomtube1012It's no longer a valid point to scare American democratic voters (especially those invested in this conflict for whatever reason) with "Donnie will be worse or the same". At this point, it's no longer about expecting better or worse, it's about punishing those who claim they represent the people. Only when suffered with a massive and painful loss will they consider the need to actually represent the will of their constituents. And me personally, while I'm not American, I was happy for Americans when Donnie boy lost in 2020, but now I just want to see Brandon lose out of spite.

@@tomtube1012I wasn't singling you out specifically. Just that the general argument of "same or worse" has been often used to somehow justify that Americans should stick with what they have and be happy with it. Of course I agree with you that it won't change. But as I said, it's not about that. At least not in this election cycle. It's about making sure politicians suffer political costs.

I still say one state solution is the best. What about the right of return that was granted to Palestinians by the UN? They definitely need reparations in either case - one state or two - but absolutely in the case of two states because their lands, homes, and livelihoods were stolen from them and they cannot return. I think there will be two states at first, but it will eventually move to one state.

We have seriously weak leadership when they cannot even stand up to our “allies”. I always wondered why Israel and some u.s. politicians would oppose the Iran nuclear deal, but I finally heard something that made sense. The deal would’ve lifted sanctions and opened the door to normalizing relations with western countries resulting in the growth of Iran’s economy. Israel would rather have a weak and isolated Iran, incapable of growing its conventional military strength or building mutually beneficial trade relations with western countries. Israel thought they could manage the rest with assassinations and other covert action. Now tell me why American policy leaders wanted to axe the deal??
