Colonial Outcasts

The ghost wars for regional influence in the Gulf and the Levant between Israel and the US, Russia and Iran, continue but the long-established status quo has changed. In this episode of Operational Breakdown, we look at Iran's telegraphed yet effective and measured response to Israel's bombing of its Consulate in Damascus. We also talk about the logic of Deterrance, which is an important pillar of geo-political analysis. #israelpalestineconflict #ceasefire #decolonize #antiimperialism #globalaffairs #foreignaffairs #humanrights #israelhamaswar #counterterrorism #militaryindustrialcomplex #militaryintelligence #militaryintervention #uspolitics #bidenvstrump #independentjournalism #militaryhistory #veteran #veteransforpeace

A continuation of what turned into an unexpected cross interview, we dive into personal stories from Palestine, the often-sour relationship between American Jews and Israelis, racism among Israeli Jews, the horrors that Palestinians face, the inevitable demise of the Israeli apartheid, Wally's genius strategy suggestions in bolstering the economic power of Palestinians in the West Bank and the light of hope awaiting the future of Palestine.

With the illegal Israeli settlements expanding further in the West Bank, entrepreneur and Palestinian American activist, Wally Rashid gives us a horrifying glimpse into the the nightmare that Palestinian families face on a daily basis at the hands of the most violent and deranged Israeli settlers. Broken up into two parts, this episode also served as a dynamic mutual interview between Wally and Mark, and the impact which experiencing the West Bank first hand left on their lives as American men.

On April 1st, Israel took the unprecedented action of leveling an Iranian Consulate in Damascus, Syria. Embassies and diplomatic buildings have historically enjoyed international protection since they are recognized as sovereign territory. So, how will Iran respond to this attack on its own soil? They are being calculated, and not rushing a hasty response. Here we break it down through the lens of a very irresponsible article in Time Magazine. #israelpalestineconflict #ceasefire #decolonize #antiimperialism #globalaffairs #foreignaffairs #humanrights #israelhamaswar #counterterrorism #militaryindustrialcomplex #militaryintelligence #militaryintervention #uspolitics #bidenvstrump #independentjournalism #militaryhistory #veteran #veteransforpeace

Weaponized starvation, bombing safe zones, the destruction of infrastructure including hospitals, libraries, schools… Using white phosphorous on people… sound familiar? In this episode we draw parallels between the genocide of the Tamil People in Sri-Lanka, which Israel was also involved in, and the current catastrophe in Gaza. So to guide us through this sad chapter in modern history, we have Dushyanthi Satchi - a licensed clinical psychotherapist and policy analyst. She has a Masters in both clinical work and international policy from Columbia University. She specializes in Gender-based violence, including Intimate partner violence, sex trafficking and honor killings. She is American from NY, and of Sri Lankan Tamil descent. She has been on CNN, NPR, and Oprah Daily. She currently has a clinical practice in NY and LA. You can find here here:   / dushyanthi_satchi

While AIPAC is a significant force in United States politics, many Christian Evangelical politicians would still support Israel unconditionally no matter its crimes. In this episode we plumb the thorny depths of Evangelical End-Times Prophecy, which dominates the lives of over 100 million Americans. We invite you to listen, as you cannot understand the American political landscape without taking these very reasonable people into account...

Continuation of a discursive and chaotic marathon of academic discourse with the Doc and an anonymous guest who requested to remain mostly as an occasional interactive listener . We invited a personal friend of Mark - Palestinian American Muslim mom, Rashy, who is incidentally also a student of O'Mara's lives. Recorded on Sunday, March 24th during the holy month of Ramadan, the Jewish holiday of Purim and Palm Sunday, 3 holidays of the 3 Abrahamic faiths. We didn't cover nearly the amount of territory as we intended, so this was more of an unstructured approach to the topic that leads us down some detours in sociology, human psychology, and personal experiences. https://www.youtube.com/@OfficeHourswiththeMadProfessor Also follow him on all of his social media outlets: https://twitter.com/LiamOMaraIV https://www.instagram.com/liamomaraiv https://www.tiktok.com/@liamomaraiv #ceasefire #netanyahu #uspolitics #middleeast #middleeastnews #palestina #foreignaffairs #history #globalaffairs #militaryhistory #levantine #mediacriticism #antiimperialism #decolonize #humanrights #israelpalestineconflict #israelhamaswar #politicaldiscussion #militaryindustrialcomplex

This is a very free-form episode about the proposed Rafah Assault, Bibi's political predicament, and how I (Greg Stoker) almost got kicked out of Ranger Regiment in a shoot house ten years ago...
