Hour One
Monday 7 September 2020 / Hour 1, Block A:  Doomed to Succeed, by Amb. Dennis Ross, former special assistant to President Barack Obama, now at Washington Institute.  Does the US recognizing Israel automatically carry a cost?  That seems to be a religious tenet of the State Department—George Marshall Dean Atchison, and their progeny, and the CIA, all hold to this. 
Monday 7 September 2020 / Hour 1, Block B: Doomed to Succeed, by Amb. Dennis Ross, former special assistant to President Barack Obama, now at Washington Institute.  “If we provide purely defensive weapons to the Israelis, the sky will fall.”  Johnson, however, felt a strong connection to the Jewish state because of his Biblical upbringing, and his aunt was a Christian member of Zionists of America. In 1968, US sold $900 million of weaponry to Arabs. 
Monday 7 September 2020 / Hour 1, Block C: Doomed to Succeed, by Amb. Dennis Ross, former special assistant to President Barack Obama, now at Washington Institute.  Nixon excludes Kissinger from the discussion because Kissinger is Jewish, and Nixon thinks he’ll be biased one way or another.  For the first week of the war, US doesn't provide arms to Israel.  However, colossal losses then—hadn't any ammunition even to cover Gaza—required a massive resupply, which the US provided.   . . . Kissinger says the US will never recognize Palestinians till they accept Resolution 242.  Carter & Brzezinski, a mind-meld; “lack of fundamental empathy.”

Monday 7 September 2020 / Hour 2, Block D: Doomed to Succeed, by Amb. Dennis Ross, former special assistant to President Barack Obama, now at Washington Institute.   Obama [helped bring together Israel and the Arabs by his amity, so to speak, with Iran].  Can't have democracy without a peaceful [environment].
