Israel & Palestine - The Politics of War - A Discussion With Victor Davis Hanson and John Anderson
In this 18 October 2023 recorded video, John Anderson is joined by military historian Victor Davis Hanson to discuss the escalating conflict in the Middle East.
Hanson argues Israel is in a unique position to retaliate unencumbered by American opposition, due to the bi-partisan support Israel currently has in the United States. However, he contends that conflicts like this, and others such as the war in Ukraine, would probably not have transpired had President Trump still been at the helm.
