Iranian-American lawyer whose response to anti-Israel protesters went viral predicts new 'world war'

Now, tensions they continue to build in the Middle East. Tonight, Iran is now warning Israel not to respond to its direct drone and missile attacks, saying that quote nothing will remain of Israel if they launch even the tiniest invasion against Iran. Now the Prime Minister of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu. He fired back right away, asserting that quote, Israel will do whatever it needs to defend itself. 9 words that Iran would be pretty wise to listen to. And this continuing crisis overseas, It is having real world effects right here at home. A group of anti Israeli students took over one of the lawns of the campus of Columbia University. Today in New York City, take a look at your screen. Anti Israeli demonstrators are still there even at this hour rallying outside the campus gates. Now these demonstrations come as the university’s President and Board Co chairs were on Capitol Hill today trying to explain the steps they have taken to address this rampant anti-Semitism on their campus. Take a look. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Columbia’s code of conduct, Mr. Greenwald? Yes it does Miss Shipman. Yes it does Doctor Shafiq. Yes it does. And Professor Schizer, yes it does. We’ve also brought on other law enforcement experts, rewritten our rules, beefed up our enforcement process. We’ve suspended 2 student groups for non compliance, more than a dozen individual students, and we discipline faculty members. We have mechanisms that are now being enforced, and on my watch they will be enforced. I think many of these appointments were made in the past, in a different era, and that era is done. And while these crazed protesters claimed to be standing up for Muslim communities in the Middle East, Iranian American lawyer activist Elika Labon is reminding them that they might want to do a little more research. Take a look at this. If you would listen to us for the past two years, much less the past 45 years, you’d know that Iranians don’t want war with Israel. We want peace with Israel. Iranian people inside of Iran have come out and said this over and over and over again. It’s you that wants war with Israel. It’s your hatred for Israel and your hatred for Jews that’s pulling us into a war that we didn’t ask for. Have we not suffered enough for the past 40-5 years that we now have to be used as pawns for your fantasies about war with Israel? Leave us alone. We don’t want that that. That video has gone viral. Ellika Laban joins us now along with Israeli special OPS veteran Aaron Kohn is with us. Ellika, you want to be very, very clear here. And I would argue Donald Trump by enforcing sanctions was was literally draining the the resources that Iran uses to fund the Houthi rebels, Hamas, Hezbollah, their proxy wars, their attacks against Israel. And and you are beginning to see young people as you describe that are anti IS, is anti the Islamic Republic join and stand up against the regime. We had seen videos of these protests. That’s all gone away because Joe Biden’s made the Iranian mullahs rich again. Is that true? Yeah. I mean, you know, he has failed to enforce the sanctions. After the maximum pressure campaign, the oil exports in Iran have reached the highest that they’ve been in the past five years. That seriously weakened the Iranian People’s Revolution since the Masajina Amini revolution kicked off. It has empowered the mullahs. Yeah, absolutely. What has the reaction been to this video? Are you surprised it’s gone as viral as it has? You know, I am to an extent. I I didn’t think anybody was listening to us. They hadn’t been listening us to us for the past couple of years. We’ve been trying to explain that this was a radicalization process that had been building since October 7th. We’ve been trying to explain that the end at the end of this radicalize radicalization would result in support for the Islamic regime. And now we are seeing the results of that everything that we’d warned about. Yeah. Aaron, let me bring you in here. You know I I never thought I’d see a day where we’d have AUS president with 0 moral clarity that cared more about re election and losing the base of his party that has been so radicalized that they after losing 1200 Israelis and in the worst terror attack in Israel’s history. And then hearing the stories of rape and murder and hostage taking that somehow the United States of America would not stand with Israel in their war to win against terror in this particular case, not stand with Israel and their right to defend themselves against the number one state sponsor of terror. I found that morally repugnant, repulsive and frankly probably the worst thing that Joe Biden has done as president. And the list is pretty long. Well, Sean, I agree with you 100% and so does everybody in Israel to an extent. It here’s the thing, Bidens don’t policy. Let me make this real clear. It’s very dangerous in the world of counterterrorism when we have an expression in Hebrew, Matanil, Madava, Vito, in this case, policy, which is a Farsi. Biden not only doesn’t speak the language, he doesn’t understand the mindset in the Middle East. And the way things work in the Middle East is there’s three languages. There’s Hebrew, there’s Arabic. Throw in some Farsi and there’s strength and you don’t have peace in the Middle East. Sean unless you have strength, Israel must counterattack Iran. They’ll do it without the support of the United States. All I have to say is thank God Israel has a multilayered missile defense system because unlike Joe Bidens, multi failure policy with Iran, Israel will go on the offensive submissiveness and passiveness. Israel does not have the luxury for. It must be aggressive and it’s the only language that the Middle East understands and we understand it. We speak the language, we know the culture, we know the mindset. And right now Israel is going to sweat those generals from the IRGC out because the idea of getting killed is pretty bad. We’re going to let him sweat it out a little bit. Well, they can sweat it out. But I will tell you, if Israel does not respond, it will only embolden the mullahs in Iran. They will strike again. Ellicott, do you support after watching what was unfolding on Saturday night, do you support Israel? And there whatever response they deem appropriate after the 300 missiles etcetera, drones were were fired into their country unprovoked. You know we we we for, I mean you know we’ve been saying this we just we’ve wanted peace this whole time. We didn’t want a war. It was this failure of the Biden administration and the Obama administration before him continuously empowering the Muellers, getting into this JCPOA deal, engaging in diplomatic relations on on on freezing $150 billion, billions and billions more in these hostage deals that we repeatedly warned them would result in more regional and domestic terrorism that have brought us to this moment, Where we are at at at a juncture that, you know, none of us know how to get out of this at this point. You know, I I don’t want to see war against my country and and my people and and to put my people’s lives at risk. And this is exactly what I was talking about, the public really. The blame has to be honest, but the mullahs in charge of your country launched this attack against Israel. If Israel does not respond, it’ll be viewed as as weakness. We all understand that, and I think they have. They have a moral obligation to respond so that otherwise this will keep happening again. Do you support Israel and their right to fire back at the regime that took them on It’s it’s really hard to answer that question. I I I feel that the tensions are going to keep escalating and I think this is going to turn into a World War and and that’s what I’m very so Israel should just do nothing and and and the and the number one state sponsor terror that that has been funding the Houthi rebels Hamas Hezbollah they get away with continuing you know all these attacks against an innocent democracy. Well, I think if there are strikes, it definitely shouldn’t be on. You know, Sean, if I can jump in real quick, I’d like to say one thing to Ellika. Sean, can I say one thing real quick, real quick? Israel Dark, Kenore, Maradome, Iran Hast, which means Israel stands with the people of Iran. I speak Farsi. Thank you. All right. Thank you. All right. Well, maybe maybe peace can begin right here on this show. Because I feel sorry for all of the people that are caught up in all of this and living under the regime that believes in radicalized terror and a caliphate.
