We are in a 5th Generation Conflict! - Jack Posobrand Jack is a commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran. He is a regular contributor to the New York Times, CNN, CBS, NPR, and many other media outlets, and is one of the most influential voices in the anti-Israel and anti-Biden camps.
00:08:37.480And here in Human Events Daily, we reported it yesterday in real time, long before anyone told you anything else on Fox or CNN.
00:08:46.120We were one of the first, the very first platforms to report on the horrific Kibbutz murders that went on.
00:08:52.680But at the same time, we must be steely-eyed because we cannot allow the American people to be walked down the primrose path of generational genocide in the forever wars or even the tip-off of a third world war.
00:09:13.340And we must be very clear because the world order is hanging by a string right now.
00:09:18.580We've already got one theater opened up in Eastern Europe.
00:13:13.140How could it have been allowed to happen?
00:13:14.760And that answer has yet to be, you know, that question has yet to be answered.
00:13:19.420But there seem to be indications of how something like this can happen.
00:13:22.900And it goes back to, you know, when a government is distracted fighting its own internal corruption,
00:13:28.440fighting its own internal battles and struggles for power, and it neglects its most basic duty.
00:13:34.300And this is not, you know, it's one thing to talk about a border between the U.S. and Mexico
00:13:38.120that allows illegal immigrants to come in.
00:13:41.480These are border towns on areas which are, to say they're known for conflict, it's an understatement.
00:13:48.760It doesn't make any sense how it can happen.
00:13:50.760And they'll go into Gaza and they'll level Gaza.
00:13:53.220And in so doing, you know, they will probably get their targets, although this has been done before.
00:13:59.040But they're going to get a lot more than just the targets.
00:14:01.340And they think they're going to be killing one generation of terrorists and then potentially just breeding another generation of terrorists.
00:14:07.420They go through this over and over again.
00:14:08.880The question is, you're living next to an existential threat, an existential enemy.
00:14:13.320How could the Guard have been let down to such a degree for such an extended period of time to allow for such incomprehensible slaughter?
00:14:21.840The government has to answer for that in addition to, you know, doing what it was there to do in the first place.
00:14:26.340Scott, excuse me, I'm sorry, sorry, I'm thinking of yesterday.
00:14:31.500Viva, Viva, when we see these reports that the Egyptian government is putting out saying that they shared intelligence with the Israelis as much as a month before these,
00:14:49.620They knew that an anniversary was coming up as a priori Navy intelligence officer.
00:14:53.600I know that in when I was at Guantanamo Bay and we were doing counterterrorism, we always talked about upcoming anniversaries.
00:15:01.580We know that radical Islam really places a high, a high importance on anniversaries.
00:15:09.180However, that being said, just because there's an anniversary, that doesn't always mean there's going to be an attack.
00:15:13.960So how much credence do you put on that report about the Egyptian intelligence?
00:15:19.420Well, I'm a lawyer, analyst, commentator, call it whatever.
00:15:23.740I mean, I read the news and you have to address everything with a certain degree of skepticism.
00:15:28.080It could be Egypt trying to embarrass the Netanyahu government.
00:15:31.620It could be Egypt trying to play politics to, I don't know, you know, sink the ship of the Netanyahu government.
00:15:38.020Or it could be Egypt saying, we told you and we're being truthful about it, and in as much as Netanyahu denies it, I presume there are receipts somewhere if it did in fact occur.
00:15:47.600The problem is, believe those reports or not.
00:15:50.440I mean, I was just digging up, you know, some articles and some interviews from a while back to try to understand the internal crisis that the Netanyahu government was facing as relates to its overhaul of the judiciary in Israel.
00:16:02.360And I came across a 60 Minutes report from three weeks ago where they were saying, you know, as a result of the internal strife within Israel, reservists were not showing up to work.
00:16:13.000And I think it's Leslie Stahl, she says to Yaniv Levine, are you not afraid that this is going to cause some insecurity, some exposure for risk for Israel?
00:16:25.380I mean, they were warned internationally by 60 Minutes that there was risk, and they knew internally that they're at risk because of the internal strife and reservists not showing up to work, that the Egyptian government said or not almost becomes academic at this point.
00:16:41.140They had to have known that there was risk.
00:16:43.120They had to, were there efforts being distracted on internal politics, on focusing on, geez, not the Gaza, but the West Bank?
00:16:57.840In addition to combating your existential enemy and protecting yourself against it, they're going to have to answer to how they allowed this to happen.
00:17:03.720Because that is, it's not a question of victim blaming, period, full stop.
00:18:06.320They're going to have to answer that question.
00:18:07.220Even if that was training, right, then I will say, and I'll have a word with my B-roll team, but I'll even say, it's easy to see paraglider training.
00:18:17.340So how was it that the IDF, the Mossad, how is it that this training was missed?
00:18:25.220How is it that this was not something that was prepared for, that it seems like these things were able to penetrate Israel's border with absolute impunity?
00:18:34.360We're going to come back in just a second here.
00:19:41.360Look, as we face the fourth turning, as we face the churn, as we face the collapse of complex systems and the destruction of the world order around us, we must have our wits about us.
00:19:59.980I'm going to go back to Viva Frye here for a second.
00:20:01.760Viva, my sense of this is I think that you're right that this current dysfunction in the Israeli government, and people need to understand that the IDF, many of these border crossings, because there's so many hot border crossings, not like the U.S.
00:20:18.020where we just have the South, and we know, of course, that we don't care about the border anymore.
00:20:22.000They've got contested borders all the time everywhere in Israel.
00:20:26.140They're surrounded, except for the sea.
00:20:27.940But, of course, obviously, you have to watch out for that as well.
00:20:30.160So typically what will happen is that reservists will be on duty from, and we were just there last year.
00:20:35.120We met with a reserve unit and actually spoke about this up on the border of Israel and Lebanon, where they will come from different parts of the country.
00:20:42.500They'll be on duty for, you know, 10 days, 12 days, maybe a month or two at a time, and they do these rotations to monitor the border at specific areas.
00:20:51.480What you're saying is that the current dysfunction within the Israeli government actually had an effect on the reservist rotations of the IDF on the border.
00:21:26.380This is supposed to be the highest tech military in the world.
00:21:29.020This is supposed to be the most secure border in the world, detecting underground movements for tunnels that are burrowed from the Gaza Strip underneath, where they would occasionally come up and ambush IDF and kidnap them.
00:21:39.500It's supposed to be, and is, in fact, so sensitive that animals will trip the devices.
00:21:46.260And somehow, it's not just that one person got over.
00:21:48.940It's not just that half a dozen got over.
00:21:51.340A coordinated attack sustained for hours.
00:22:04.040That means you would pay more attention to them, not less.
00:22:06.780This could only happen if there was an egregious, egregious failure somewhere.
00:22:11.960And then it's only in going back and re-watching things like Kierkegaard said, life can only be lived forwards but understood backwards.
00:22:19.820You watch now, they were raising the flags to Israel at the time.
00:22:22.460Mossad and internally were saying, with all of these reservists not showing up to work in protests for Bibi's aspirations with the government, the overhaul of the judiciary, it could cause problems.
00:22:35.020And I know that what happened cannot be allowed to happen and could never be allowed to happen in a country that is supposed to be as secure as Israel.
00:22:41.480The breach itself and the delay to respond, it's not a far-off island where you have to get to with boats.
00:24:34.760And I say, I don't even know if that would be enough to be able to take to really take full control of an area like this.
00:24:41.720And then so that, of course, leads to more bombings, more bombings lead to, again, more civilians, more collateral damage that increases and ratchets up the propensity or the tendency for other countries in the region to get involved.
00:25:01.140Do you see this as a potentiality for other others in the region to get involved?
00:25:05.520It's the same cycle every time this happens and every time there's a flare-up.
00:25:10.740But this is just by orders of, you know, by, what is it, magnitudes of order worse than any prior attacker.
00:25:17.160You remember the massacre of the Fogel family back in 2005, I think.
00:25:21.200There was the Passover dinner slaughter.
00:25:24.200This is exponentially worse by magnitudes of order that are going to be reflected in the response.
00:25:30.600Because now, you know, it's going to be used as, every time they say we're going to go in and take out Hamas, and this time they say, well, this time is different than every other time.
00:25:42.280And you have people on the internet saying, well, this is what you get when you elect a terrorist government.
00:25:47.520To some extent, oversimplifying or over-rationalizing the inevitable innocent casualties that are going to suffer as a result of this.
00:25:54.140Because, on the one hand, it's not like Hamas doesn't terrorize its own citizens into submission, which it does.
00:26:00.240And so these innocent civilians are caught between a terrorist organization that is running the government and the predictable and obviously anticipated response that is provoked when Hamas goes and slaughters a thousand innocent Israelis in their homes and on kibbutzes.
00:27:34.740They're talking about sending a second aircraft carrier so that just those two platforms alone, those two vessels, 10,000 American souls right there, those two vessels.
00:27:52.540This operation is coming whether Egypt likes it or not.
00:27:55.560So the U.S. could be putting leverage on Egypt right now.
00:27:59.780You've got the carrier right there, carrot and stick approach.
00:28:02.720You know, cut a deal with them if you have to.
00:28:04.520You can set up areas for the civilians, for a civilian corridor.
00:28:08.940And as much as people don't like to say it, as much as people don't like to say it, this is what happened in many battles in Ukraine.
00:28:16.220You saw humanitarian corridors set up like Bakhmut, like so many of the cities before this took place.
00:28:22.100I'm not saying civilians weren't killed in Ukraine, but I am saying that this was a standard practice up there that we are now not seeing in this Middle Eastern conflict.
00:28:59.880It's almost for the first time ever that you have the entirety of the international community saying, this is absolutely inhumane.
00:29:09.560You could, I mean, I'm not a military strategist, but you could set up corridors, have temporary refugees going into Egypt temporarily, although it would be logistics to take care of.
00:29:20.200And you could have checkpoints and you could make sure that whoever is left in or stays back is a legitimate target and not going to be a casualty of the people who deliberately want those casualties to get caught in the crossfire.
00:29:33.560But this was so beyond the pale of horror that the international community would, I mean, I presume, come together to some extent to allow for the total removal and denihilation of Hamas so long as it's done in a way that ensures that innocent Palestinian civilians are not caught in the crossfires in numbers that are going to, in some sense, inflame the rest of the world to say, yes, Israel, this was terrible.
00:30:00.400But you know people are going to say that.
00:30:11.200But it really, really, really seems, not to get really black-pilled cynical, that all the powers of the world right now are using these atrocities, these tragedies, as distractions from their own internal problems so they can keep the world in a perpetual state of war so they can maintain and cling to their own power.
00:30:27.860They're trying to, they've seen the failure of the proxy war in Ukraine against Russia, and now they're switching all of that energy into the new current thing, which is war in the Middle East.
00:30:38.480And you're even seeing some of them go further, looking to the horizon, calling for strikes on Tehran, like Liz Cheney just did.
00:39:40.920If you don't understand the vulnerability of an aircraft carrier to hypersonics, hypersonic glide vehicles, and these missiles, and drone swarms, and the new naval drones that have been employed in the Ukraine war, you've just not been paying attention.
00:39:56.300You've really not been paying attention.
