Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs responds to Israeli PM Netanyahu's speech last week at the United Nations where he warned Iran, "There is no place that the long arm of Israel can not reach in the entire Middle East."

"It’s not you, Netanyahu, it’s the United States, and you're dragging us into your wars -- your wars -- so you can dominate millions of Palestinian people and deny them their rights. It’s not your long arm. It happens to be ours. The fact that the Israel lobby has manipulated our politics long enough is the reason you stand there and say that," Sachs said on Andrew Napolitano's podcast yesterday.

"And it’s both Harris and Trump. They fall all over each other to say who’s going to be more loyal to the Israel lobby. They compete. That’s their main competition," Sachs said. "They have complete control over U.S. policy."

JEFFREY SACHS: I have a message for the long arm of Mr. Netanyahu, which is that it’s the U.S. Air Force, it’s the U.S. military, it’s the U.S. Navy. It’s not you, Netanyahu, it’s the United States, and you're dragging us into your wars -- your wars -- so you can dominate millions of Palestinian people and deny them their rights. It’s not your long arm. It happens to be ours. The fact that the Israel lobby has manipulated our politics long enough is the reason you stand there and say that.

But to say that precisely when the president of Iran has spoken exactly the opposite and called for peace, rapprochement, reconciliation -- anyone can go online and look under the UN General Assembly, look it up on Google, and find the speech of the Iranian president. Compare that with the speech of Netanyahu, and you’ll be very surprised who speaks about peace and who speaks about war, and who brags because they have the U.S. military in their pocket. It's really amazing and very dangerous.

Professor Jeffrey Sachs is the President of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He is the author of The End of Poverty and The Ages of Globalization.
