So, The Pentagon has warned Israel against any "miscalculation" along its northern border with Lebanon, as fighting between the Israel Defense Forces and Hezbollah militia continues and Israeli leaders threaten to launch a full-scale cross-frontier incursion.

But what what is the word on the street in Southern Lebanon? What is not being communicated by the Legacy Media? To answer those questions we have brought on two Lebanese dudes to talk about it. Here are their socials:

Special thanks for the audio mastering done by former Gaza resident Mohammed “MoKu” Kutkut (ig @mokutkut) to bring it to some level of clarity.


Words cannot describe the horrific state of Gaza’s healthcare system (if it can be described as such) or the point of view of medical personnel taking on the harrowing task of saving as many lives as feasibly possible under a genocidal siege, but Dr. Mohammed Altalla does his best to do so as one of the few doctors still alive or in the capacity to take on such a burden in Gaza’s only fully functioning hospital, Al Aqsa.

A teaching assistant at The Faculty of Medicine at Al Azhar University in Cairo and a medical director of Al Amal Health Center. Dr. Altalla wakes up every day to manage the critical task as surgeon for the Surgery Department of Al Aqsa Hospital. Dr. Altalla had the misfortune of witnessing one of the worst surges of patients as a result of the Al Nussiret Massacre which resulted in 270 + murdered and over 700 severely injured. In defiance of the nightmarish and unsafe conditions weaponized to drive medical staff out of Gaza, Dr. Altalla refuses to evacuate until there is a permanent ceasefire.

As electricity is in obvious scarcity, the internet coverage being extremely undependable, a couple bombs being dropped in the background when he was recording and a drone loitering overhead the entire time, the interview had over a dozen interruptions with very poor quality of audio and video capture, so editing the final result only yielded so much. Yet despite the technical nightmare of interviewing anybody within the kill box of Gaza, the good doctor was able to convey the plight of medical workers throughout the strip, the aftermath of the Al Nussiret Massacre, the grave nature of the IDF’s sadism towards medical staff and patients at Al Shifa hospital as a campaign of democide, the more probable estimate of Gaza's casualties being North of 50,000 murdered, a personal story of a specific patient who left a permanent imprint on his heart, and the faith that drives most of Gaza’s medical staff into hell’s gates for the sake of any innocent lives they may manage to preserve.

So, the situation in Southern Lebanon and Northern Israel is escalating and Cyprus is getting dragged in. I personally don’t think a wider war will kick off this weekend, but Israel is no longer a rational actor. We’ve already talked about what that will look like if it happens in a previous episode so today we’re going to try something different.

Let's start geopolitically micro and go macro. We’ll begin with this Israel/Hezbollah situation and bring Cyprus into it. We’ll use that as a demonstration of the US's political quagmire, expand and draw parallels to Ukraine which will most likely end in a frozen conflict and a Russian "ugly victory," then talk about the overall loss of US soft power to BRICS and discuss, if we have time, Saudi getting off the Petro Dollar.

This "Tactical Pause" is a Farce. We've looked at it since Saturday. I don’t want to get into too much politics in this Episode, because we feel that it’s time to revisit what is happening to civilians on the ground in Gaza. So we’ve invited Zeena Aqel back on to do just that. You may know her, she’s a prominent Palestinian activist and Journalist, you can check her out on Social media linked below, and has many contacts on the ground. Thanks so much for coming on. Follow Zeena on instagram! https://www.instagram.com/zeenaaqel/
