He said this at the Cambridge Union in 2012, years before the week arrived. @DouglasKMurray predicted all of it. When the talking ran out and Iran was close to a bomb, Israel would strike. Every government, including the elegant ones, would condemn it in public. Then the same people would go home and thank G-d someone had done it, because nobody else would. Douglas Murray named the Saudis, the Bahrainis, the Egyptians, the Lebanese. He told a British room they were being offered the old choice between war and dishonor, and that if they chose dishonor they would still get the war. Then he said the line that still holds. Thank G-d this does not rely on you or any Europeans. You have made that mistake before, and nobody should trust you to get it right this time. That is not a clever clip from after the fact. It is the map drawn while Western diplomats were still sure another round of process would save them from a decision. The condemnations were priced in. So was the private relief. The video is the exhibit. He said it out loud while the people in the hall still thought they had time.
