  • Underrated Podcast

    I am not sure why more people don’t listen to the pod. The host is a breath of fresh air and insanely talented. He started the Momdani revolution before we even knew Zoran.

'The US Is ADDICTED to Forever Wars': Two Middle East Scholars Speak Out on Iran, Palestine, and Lebanon

'The US Is ADDICTED to Forever Wars': Two Middle East Scholars Speak Out on Iran, Palestine, and Lebanon

Meet the Young Jewish Congresswoman Calling Out the UAE and Israel Over War Crimes
Q: What specific leverage does the U.S. have over the UAE to influence the RSF in Sudan?
The guest explains that the U.S. is a major weapons supplier and has the political will to condition or halt arms sales, and she cites past attempts like joint resolutions of disapproval to pressure the UAE, though acknowledges lobbying makes progress difficult.
AIPAC Is 'Toxic': Top Senator Calls on Dems To Stop Taking Money From the Pro-Israel Lobby
Q: How do you assess leadership within the Democratic Caucus on Israel and Lebanon policy?
The guest contends that Chuck Schumer is not the overarching voice for the party on these issues and that many Democrats increasingly oppose weapons transfers and support a more independent U.S. stance on foreign policy.
AIPAC Is 'Toxic': Top Senator Calls on Dems To Stop Taking Money From the Pro-Israel Lobby
Q: Do you think the Democratic Party should take money from AIPAC?
The guest argues that AIPAC money is toxic because it represents a hardline position aligned with the Netanyahu government rather than an independent, transparent policy stance for the U.S., advocating for avoiding that funding.
