144: Ruth Wasserman Lande: “Iran’s mullahs have held the Iranian people hostage since 1979”

If you'd like to support Jonny's work, you can buy him a coffee here. The Islamic Republic of Iran emerges from behind the regional proxies it's used as pawns until now to take direct action against Israel. Over 300 suicide drones, ballistic and cruise missiles targeted Israel from multiple fronts from Iran, as well as Iraq, Syria and Yemen. 99% were intercepted, mostly outside of Israel's airspace by Israeli, British, American, French, Saudi and Jordanian forces.  So what tactical change by Iran does this signify? Have they ramped up a level towards their endgame, the step-by-step systematic, premeditated domination of firstly the Middle East - and then the world.  Ruth Wasserman Lande is former MK for the Blue and White Party, she served as advisor to Shimon Peres and as Deputy Ambassador at the Israeli embassy in Cairo. Her parents arrived from Soviet Lithuania. They lived in Ashdod before moving to South Africa. Then she decided to make Aliyah and return to Israel.  Since October 7th, she’s addressed groups of parliamentarians from across Europe and hasn't held back telling them in graphic form about the extreme violence, burning, shooting, raping and murdering of civilians on that terrible morning. I caught up with Ruth in London as the European Jewish Association organised a tour of Jewish community leaders in London, Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow.  Hear why she says the IDF should go into Rafah and finish off Hamas once and for all as well as what Israel should do with Iran.
