On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Avi Melamed, former Senior Israeli Intelligence Official and advisor to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. In a heated exchange, Afshin Rattansi challenges him on Israel’s bombing of Syria and Netanyahu’s support for ISIS and Al Qaeda against Bashar Al-Assad, former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert saying that Israel is close to a civil war, Iran’s reported successes in destroying economic and military targets inside Israel, the Muslim world’s outrage at Israel for its atrocities and genocide in Gaza, the Iranian people’s demand for nuclear weapons as a deterrent against Israel, Jews in Israel being unsafe while Jews in Iran are safe, Iran’s relations with the GCC, and much more.
