The conversation covers controversial topics like alleged Israeli war crimes, the ethics of resistance, historical parallels to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the role of international bodies like the UN and ICC. Beyond geopolitics, Shebaro shares his personal struggles with PTSD, addiction, and transitioning to civilian life, highlighting his creation of the We Defy Foundation, which helps veterans through jiu-jitsu scholarships.
