Why Both Parties Are Playing With Fire In Jerusalem | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood analyses an explosive report by Middle East policy scholar Stephen Zunes in Common Dreams, exposing how both corporate Democrats and Republicans pushed Donald Trump to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move the U.S. Embassy, detailing the bipartisan passage of the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act, the recent 90-0 Senate vote led by Chuck Schumer, and why the Washington foreign policy establishment deliberately fuels Middle Eastern destabilisation to protect petrodollar supremacy and arms contractor profits.
