The Lies that Sustain the Israel-Palestine War; from Benny Morris to Netanyahu

In this powerful and timely interview, we sit down with Emeritus Professor Martin Shaw to discuss the Israel-Palestine conflict, one of the most complex and controversial issues in modern geopolitics. Shaw, an expert on war, genocide, and international relations, provides a critical perspective on the role of Israel, the U.S., and the U.K. in exacerbating the conflict.Throughout this conversation, we tackle some of the most pressing questions: Could Israeli leadership’s rhetoric lead to genocide? How do figures like Benny Morris influence the narrative around Israel’s history? What role does Britain’s colonial legacy play in today’s tensions, and is the International Criminal Court a viable tool for justice? Plus, Shaw explores the potential for a wider war in the Middle East, involving Iran, and speculates on what future U.S. leadership—whether Trump or Kamala Harris—could mean for Palestinians.Whether you're deeply familiar with the Israel-Palestine conflict or new to these discussions, this interview provides crucial insights into the forces shaping this ongoing crisis.Don’t miss out—subscribe to the channel for more thought-provoking discussions on global conflicts and international justice.

Weapons, War, and Wall Street: Col. Larry Wilkerson on the Corruption of US-Israel Ties

What if the very foreign policy Col. Larry Wilkerson helped shape is now complicit in perpetuating some of the most egregious human rights violations in the Middle East? As the former chief of staff to Colin Powell, Wilkerson knows all too well the inner workings of the US-Israel alliance—a partnership that, according to him, has crossed ethical lines in ways most Americans would find shocking.In this episode, we dive into the heart of Wilkerson’s scathing critique of US support for Israel, a relationship that he argues is not just strategically misguided but morally bankrupt. The billions in military aid, the political cover for actions widely condemned as apartheid, the silence on human rights abuses—these are not just abstract policies but realities with devastating consequences on the ground.Why does the United States, a nation that claims to champion freedom and democracy, continue to back a government accused of systemic oppression and occupation? And what are the implications for America's global standing as it turns a blind eye to these injustices?With Col. Wilkerson’s unique insider perspective, this conversation pulls no punches, exposing the uncomfortable truths about the military-industrial complex, the ethical compromises of US foreign policy, and the real cost of America’s unyielding support for Israel.Send us a textDon't forget to follow or subscribe to our Podcasts on your favorite platform so you never miss an update.
