This entire interview with John Kiriakou on the Joe Rogan show is quite interesting. He’s a fascinating man who knows how to tell of his experiences in stories that captivate.
Kiriakou knows the history of Israel and Netanyahu specifically. Worth your time to hear him tell it. Here’s a transcript excerpt:
1:52:35 “Netanyahu has a vested interest in making sure that this war lasts as long as possible because remember he’s still under indictment for corruption. Also, one thing that most Americans don’t understand is the Israeli political system is such that it is literally impossible for any party to win a working majority in the Knesset, right? There are just too many parties and too many individual interests. So you’ve got, you know, a dozen parties represented.
Benjamin Netanyahu has never won more than 27% of the vote. He’s very unpopular. It’s just that he’s the least unpopular of the unpopular politicians.”
There’s more…
John Kiriakou is a former CIA counter-terrorism officer and the first U.S. official to confirm the agency’s torture of detainees. Punished for being a whistleblower, he served nearly 2 years in a federal prison.
