  • 00:10:54.871 --> 00:10:55.404
  • Challenge that the united states and israel have up
  • 00:10:55.538 --> 00:10:57.473
  • States and israel have up against because this ideology
  • 00:10:57.607 --> 00:10:58.207

  • Is part of the culture not entire population.
  • 00:11:01.410 --> 00:11:01.778
  • Entire population. at percent by saying well what
  • 00:11:01.911 --> 00:11:05.448
  • At percent by saying well what 20% is a small number but
  • 00:11:05.581 --> 00:11:08.317
  • 20% is a small number but again, remember iran is home to
  • 00:11:08.451 --> 00:11:09.252
  • Again, remember iran is home to about million people and
  • 00:11:09.385 --> 00:11:11.187
  • About million people and changing that is going to be
  • 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:11.921
