Interview - Israel Is Digging its Own Grave & Trump Can’t Save the IDF With Mohammad Marandi & Lowkey, Given by Danny Haiphong - April 25th, 2025

You simply have to read it. The two people interviewed are Professor Mohammad Marandi, who I’ve heard before, and a new one to me, Lowkey, English Rapper whose parents are English and Iraqi. Lowkey, whose other name is ‘Kareem Dennis’, took a break from singing and rapping from 2012 to 2016, when he studied. If you are like me, you will be very impressed with the information of financial donations from the Israel Lobby – that he, LowKey, presents. How they, the pro-Israelis, hide it. No matter whether you are for or against, the information from these two men presents a different picture than what we are given in the mainstream media (controlled by Rothschild).

With host Danny Haiphong.

Danny Haiphong: There have been, over the course of the last 16 months or so, alarm bells ringing about Israel in a man-forever war now, and we’ve talked about this. Israel fighting on seven fronts, foreign affairs says eight fronts. With the reemergence of this regional conflict, uh it seems like dominoes are beginning to fall, and there’s already alarm bells sounding about how the Israeli regime cannot sustain this, and that even the settlers while they have no sympathy for Palestinians, they don’t want a forever war because of the immense cost this is having, not just on these reservists but on the so-called society as a whole. Uh talk about this in lieu of this reemergence of resistance, as Trump has essentially green lit the uh explosion of chaos and suffering in this part of the world

Mohammad Marandi: After October the 7th, uh it was said that this is going to be death by a thousand cuts. Israeli regime was not going to be overrun by any of the resistance movements, but this regime which is a colony, it’s a Western colony, it’s small and the population is not indigenous to the region. They are- they are vulnerable and uh sustaining uh war forever is just not possible. We already have seen that a significant number of uh scientists have have left Palestine, and investors are no longer going to go there. Uh, the the the population is um viewed very negatively uh across the world. Uh, we’ve seen many instances where Zionists go to restaurants in Asia and Latin America and people call them out. That is, these are not pleasant experiences for these um genocidal people and it it- the burden increases as the war goes on, and people constantly have to go back to the killing field and slaughter people. And even some of these people after a while they’re going to have serious problems as we saw with uh American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere

And the reason why, by the way, as again going back to what Lowkey was saying, the reason why Yemen- they they they call uh the resistance or these resistance organizations, like Ansar Allah in Yemen uh “proxies” is that they want to delegitimize them. They want to uh tell their audience that these people don’t have ideals – the ideals that were just discussed; these are very lofty ideals. They want to save the Palestinian people, they are making sacrifices. Hezbollah made..women sent their- wives..their husbands to the battlefield in Lebanon. Fathers and mothers sent their sons to the battlefield to to get killed to become martyrs in order to save the people of Gaza. In Yemen you see people going every week in mass protest to to support Ansar Allah. In their defense of the Palestinian people, they are making sacrifices for another people. It’s not even to defend themselves; Ansar Allah, Hezbollah, they could all make small their own deals with the empire; these are not proxies as was rightly pointed out. They have agency, they have a great deal of influence and power and each of them could- The west would be, would, could only dream about having deals with Hezbollah or Ansar Allah, or the other members of the resistance. And the same is true with Iran.

Iran has uh as a result of resistance against the Israeli regime has paid a heavy price. The sanctions against Iran are not really about the nuclear program, has nothing to do with the nuclear program; it has nothing to do with human rights, it has nothing to do with terrorism, everything has to do with Palestine. It’s all about Palestine; it’s all about the fact that the West the Western Empire is supporting an ethnosupremacist regime. It wants to preserve it, it wants it to thrive, and anyone or any entity that stands up against it will be punished. And that’s why we’ve seen over 40 years of sanctions against Iran- And Iran funds these organizations, it proudly does so. But they have agency, they’re smart people, they have principles, they have ideals and that’s why they succeed. That’s why you see western proxies- they don’t succeed because they have a bottom to- ‘top to bottom’ approach. In the case of the axis of resistance they’re all brothers and sisters following principles and pursuing ideals, and the same is true by the way with the broader resistance. The broader resistance includes people from all walks of life in the United States young students Christians Jews Muslims Hindus others, or in Europe, or people across Latin America,

We’ve seen this explosion of sympathy across the world for the Palestinian people, and which continues to grow. The protests that we see in some Asian countries today are much greater than they were months ago, even though they’re far off, and it’s not- it hasn’t- this, our part of the world has never been their priority; they have their own region, they have their own priorities, but we see that the longer this genocide continues the greater the sympathy is, and the greater the hostility towards Zionism, and the the the fact is that the West is paying a heavy price for this.. Grand America has been wrecked; Grand Europe, Grand UK, it’s has all been destroyed. This this concept of the free world, or this concept of the civilized world versus the uncivilized world, it’s been- they’ve been reversed, and many people in the West large numbers especially young people are seeing it. They see that their elites are completely corrupted and now we, the people..

That’s that’s why J, the the JFK files have become so much more important, I think today, more than before. People are much more sensitive about what exactly happened to JFK than they were 10-20 years ago. The Epstein files: people are very sensitive about what’s going on, and they know what what lies in these files that they’re not going to see, and what we- what have been redacted already. Uh when the uh JFK files were revealed this, the the same- the the, some key points were redacted, and we know what they are. We know they all go back to the Israeli regime; it goes back to Zionism. So the sensitivity that’s been created against this ethno-supremasist project has spread across the world, and these are all people of principle. The axis of resistance of course makes the greatest sacrifices. Of course the people of Palestine are resiliently and bravely defending themselves – women standing their ground. I don’t know if you saw the image of that woman who all- who lost all of her children except for one, and then she held him and she said “I’m going to bring him up to be resistance.” Immediately after she was she was in such despair, but then she said “I’m going to train my son to to stand up for the Palestinian people.” So that resilience is growing stronger and the resilience of the axis of resistance will continue to grow.

And sometimes, and I’m sure you’ve seen this often, in the West. they say that the axis of resistance has been weakened, it’s been defeated. In war everyone is weakened, the Russian Ukrainian war has weakened all sides. The Russians have been weakened, when you lose men, when you lose money, when you lose uh.. when you lose equipment, you go- you you you you lose resources, but relatively speaking Russia is much stronger today compared to NATO which carried out this proxy war. This- and remember for three years they’ve been telling us that Russia is losing the war. They were taking chips out of washing machines to to survive in on the battlefield, remember remember that? To to to make weapons they were so desperate, and they were- and Biden was going to turn the ‘rouble’- into rubble. For 3 years we’ve been told that they are going to lose. What happened ultimately? Now the United States is desperate, or Trump is desperate to end the war without humiliation.

The same is true in in our region. The axis of resistance has taken hits, they’ve suffered casualties, there’s been lots of damage, they’ve murdered many women and children in Lebanon, in Gaza, in the West Bank, in Yemen, but the regime itself has been hurt more. Why do you think that right now the United- in the United States the Zionist lobby is push- and in Europe and in the UK, is pushing so hard to limit freedom of expression, expelling a student from the country, expelling a professor uh from the country simply for having a picture of say Hassan Nasrallah [Hezbollah] or a picture of his funeral. Why is it? Why are they harassing students, why are they expelling students, why are they threatening students, because they’re scared, because things are not going well for the Zionist regime or the Zionist lobby. They are losing their popular support even in the United States; they’ve lost it across the world, but even in the United States where the cap- the corporate media and the the the billionaire class, the wealthy the capitalist class, all of them have so much control over society; even there they’re losing their hold. And I think that all of these are signs that the Israeli regime is in bad shape.

I’m not saying that Israel- the Israeli regime is on the verge of collapse, that next week or next month or next year it won’t exist, but we are in the final phase of existence for for the Israeli regime, with regards to the Israeli regime. This regime is despised across the world, and as the more it kills, the worse it’s going to get. And the resistance will be remain steadfast, and no matter what threats Trump makes he will not succeed. Iran is not going to back down. Yemen is not going to back down. Hamas was not- is not going to back down. Remember just a few weeks ago Trump said he’s going to- he he literally said that he’s going to destroy Hamas, and he implied that the Palestinians in Gaza will be killed if these prisoners are not exchanged, or not released, by noon on Saturday I think, but what happened? Hamas stood firm, their allies stood firm, and Trump was unable to do anything. In the case of Yemen, we’ll see in the weeks and months ahead that the United States will fail. Yes they will murder people. Yes they will slaughter people, yes the Western media will speak of their successes. Yes they will demonize the people of Yemen and Ansar Allah and the resistance, and as usual they’ll lie, and they’ll twist the truth, but ultimately Trump will fail.

Danny Haiphong: I get this a lot whenever I talk about resistance, whenever uh we talk about the topic of Gaza, Palestine, West Asia. There is a belief that is widely held.. while Professor Marandi is definitely correct that many more people are against the Israeli regime or against what it does, its genocide, its war, US backing for all of that, there’s also this impression- because the deadliness, the lethality of what Israel is imposing on Palestinians, on Lebanese, and now of course the US bombing Yemen, that this somehow equates to uh the empire – the United States and Israel, getting what they want. “Gaza is gone”, I hear this a lot. Israel is now- there’s alarm bells being sounded about a ‘war of attrition’. I never hear that word when it comes to total victory for a regime that’s supposed to be far more powerful than its adversaries. Now we are looking at, it seems like not just this regional war exploding again on many different fronts. But also this huge front of Iran, which Trump seems to want to move toward an all-out war with, which in my estimation is the ultimate disaster, but I I would like your impression of this landscape that is emerging.

Lowkey (Kareem): Well, according to Zionist fantasies, the Palestinians of Gaza were supposed to be in the Sinai desert this time last year, they were supposed to be in Jordan this time last year, and they won’t be in either place this time next year, because latestage Zionism has fantastical unrealistic ambitions which actually cannot be achieved. You’re trying to move 2 million people, you’re trying to coerce them through killing, into moving. They understand your objective in them leaving, and so they are not uh willing to do it. But another point that I think is relevant to this idea of latestage Zionism is that winning a war is not killing the most vulnerable of the population; that’s not how you win a war in a sustainable way. You win a war by convincing the largest amount of human beings of your viewpoint- the largest amount of people actually agree with you and believe you were in the right.

 

The United States lost in Iraq, the United States lost in Afghanistan. Israel has lost in Gaza, Israel lost in Lebanon. The way, in Israel’s conception, this whole thing was supposed to work, frankly speaking, is the way it worked in Syria; you enter without resistance. The way it worked in Lebanon was, the Lebanese population was supposed to turn against the Lebanese resistance; well you saw what happened at that funeral [of Hassan Nasrallah]. Did it look like the Lebanese population has turned against the Lebanese resistance? It doesn’t to me. What the uh Israel Katz [minister of defense] made a statement in the last 24 to 48 hours saying, “The Palestinian population needs to give up the Palestinian resistance and turn on them.” Why haven’t they?..Why haven’t they? Israel has made attempts to arm specific tribes within the Palestinian population in Gaza, in order to fight the resistance movement. That hasn’t happened. Why? Um so there’s so many ways in which what Israel and Trump are attempting to do is so fantastical and so outside the realms of reality that the greater the suppression is, the greater the response to it is, and the greater- the greater the stubbornness is with which they are being met. And so really we are at a time where Israel and the United States is thinking that it can simply pulverize these populations with firepower, and they will relinquish this cause, but it’s simply not happening.

I mean if you look at Donald Trump’s trajectory, if you look at the individuals who have funded him, there of course has been a lot of focus on the Adelson uh family, Sheldon Adelson historically and now his widow, funding Donald Trump in exchange for the promise of recognizing the West Bank as part of the Zionist entity. But there are many other funders of Donald Trump that actually, when examining and investigating the list of his funders, it was almost impossible to find people who were not uh part of the Israel lobby who were funding him. It wasn’t the case that Adelson was an exception it was that non-Zionist funders of Donald Trump were an exception. And actually if you look at the historic- the history of the Republican party in comparison to the Democratic party, with the exception of Trump, generally speaking the Democrats have received double the money from the Israel lobby as the Republicans have. But in the case of Donald Trump it’s quite the opposite; he received far more money from Israel lobbyists, and I’m not talking about the one the liberals love to talk about AIPAC. I mean AIPAC [American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee] is unfortunately a drop in the ocean of the Zionist money that is thrown around during US elections, and they need to increase literacy of that.

You know we’ve come far enough for people to just continue to, frankly speaking, get their news from liberal sources, or uh kind of- um what can we say, quasi pro-Americans, well directly pro-American sources like Al Jazeera actually, and have a very narrow conception of what the Israel lobby is, and what the Zionist movement is. We need to increase that literacy, particularly in English uh speaking societies, they need to know more about what the Zionists are doing. And so in the case of Trump, really if you go down the list, it’s it’s actually incredible um how many of these individuals are uh serious serious uh Zionists. So you have for example um the uh the ‘Elliot Management Investment Firm’. Now this is a uh- a a firm which was able to direct money to Trump to disguise the origin from the Israel lobby, because the organization is the brainchild and the instrument of its president Paul E Singer. So Paul E. Singer not only funds ‘Birthright Israel’ but also uh funds the Israeli military through the ‘Friends of the, so-called, IDF’ and the ‘Israel Independence Fund’. He also funds something called ‘Startup Nation Central’ which is behind the influx of former ‘Unit 8200’ [Israeli IDF clandestine intelligence] agents into Google and other big tech uh companies. So by labeling his investment in the Trump campaign as coming from Elliot Management, his investment firm, he was able to disguise the Zionist source of that money.

You have another one coming from ‘Book Capital Enterprises’..well who is Book Capital Enterprises? It’s founded by Robert H Book who is described um in his own biography as a major philanthropist in support of Israel, and he previously met Trump at a uh the ‘Algemeiner Gala’ which is a staunch scientist um website. And that’s not the uh the only source of uh money that Trump has received. In fact John Sawyers, the former head of ‘British External Intelligence Agency’, MI6, said it this way, “Trump was the most easily manipulated US president Israel has ever enjoyed.’ ..He recognized Israel’s illegal annexation of the Syrian Golan Heights which no other country has done. Trump’s proposals for a solution to Palestine were largely written by the Israelis, and actually what the Israelis are hoping through Donald Trump is to enlist and um outsource some of the costs of their activities in Palestine to the Gulf region. So for example many people don’t know that the company that manages Israel’s airspace, obviously Palestine’s airspace, is an Israeli company by the name of ‘Highland Aviation’; how many people know that it’s partially owned by a UAE state company by the name of ‘Edge Group’? How many people know that Jared Kushner, as part of the Abraham Accords (each of the uh Gulf States which were party to it), it stipulated that they have to invest $10 billion directly into Israel, but Jared Kushner founded off the back of the Abraham Accords something called ‘Affinity Partners’. He did it with $2 billion from the Saudi government, he did it with money from the UAE, he did it with money from Qatar.

Now what has- what has ‘Affinity Partners’ done since it was founded by Kushner? Well Kushner described it as being a corridor for Gulf investment in Israel. Well it has procured uh ‘Phoenix um Holdings’: ‘Phoenix Holdings’ not only is one of the largest shareholders in ‘Elbert Systems’ – Israel’s largest arms company. It’s also key to the development of settlements in the West Bank. What else did this Gulf, Saudi and UAE, backed ‘Affinity Partners’ do? It invested in something called the ‘Shlomo Group’. Now the ‘Shlomo Group’ is the largest ship building company in Israel, and it’s built the biggest ships for the Israeli Navy, but moreover it has directly- directly kitted out several key units in the Israeli military like the ‘Shaldag Unit’ which was responsible for the raid on Al Shifa hospital which has left tens of people if not hundreds buried in the courtyard of the hospital. Do people know that there is Saudi money going directly into the company which is kitting out the Israeli military with ships and vehicles? Are people aware of the ‘axis of assistance’, and quite how repulsive and repugnant its activities have been around the genocide in Gaza? You look at ‘Al Arabiya’, which is the Saudi channel. It’s come out that it has directly coordinated its reports with the Israeli military, and in fact it has even released information, that it could only have obtained from the Israeli military, about assassinations of key Palestinian resistance figures.

So as I said this period of time has to lead to a greater clarity about who is on whose side, and what decisions are being made vis-á-vis the Palestinian people, because Donald Trump is banking on the support of the Gulf States to depopulate Gaza, whatever the public pronouncements are of those royal families. As Netanyahu said in the interview, “We give our allies wiggle room in what they say publicly”. So what that means is that the Saudis can simultaneously be aiding what Israel is doing in Gaza, but speaking with the bare minimum um of condemnation. We are past condemnation! At this stage, we need action, and this ultimately is why organizations like ‘Palestine Action’, organizations like those within the Axis of Resistance are today more popular in the very countries conspiring against them, than at any time previous. They have more popularity, more support. The figures from those organizations, both dead and alive.. both dead and alive, are more influential on those populations and including the English-speaking societies, than they ever were, including in life.

Now that’s quite an insane concept for the western liberal to absor- absorb, those who cling to life as if human existence is merely about staying alive. They cannot absorb that these individuals have transcended existence, to stand and influence populations, including within the own families of these political figures. You think Keir Starmer [British Prime Minister] doesn’t have pro-Palestinian people within his own family, you think the children of Keir Starmer might not just come across my music or the music of Macklemore [US professor and now rap artist]? They will, they will. We’re speaking to these populations, and as has been alluded to within this conversation, what Israel and the United States are attempting to do is not only unachievable, even the small victories which they have achieved are unsustainable. The price is heavy, the human cost is massive, it cannot be underestimated, but their objectives have not been met and will not be met.
