IsraelCast Episode 213

How does the Israel Defense Forces conduct war? Despite the rhetoric from the United Nations and college protesters, the IDF has a clear track record of valuing and protecting life while still efficiently combatting terrorists in the region. Colonel Richard Kemp returns to IsraelCast to discuss his observations from his time spent in Israel and Gaza, from the efforts they have undergone to bring humanitarian aid to civilians and effectiveness at fighting Hamas to the ineffectiveness of the United Nations and importance of deradicalization.
Colonel Richard Kemp was a soldier for 30 years, commanding British forces in some of the world’s worst conflict hotspots, including Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Balkans. He was also the head of the international terrorism intelligence team at the British Prime Minister’s Office. Kemp was wounded in a terrorist attack in Northern Ireland, and his name appeared on an Al Qaida kill list found in Syria. Now a media commentator, writer, and public speaker, Kemp frequently defends Israel against lies, bias, and distortions around the world, including at the United Nations.
