    From Regime Change to a Ceasefire?
    Jun 26 2025
    Join Avi as he discusses the roller-coaster of a week we just had. He analyzes the US deciding to join Israel in attacking Iran, Iran's deescalatory retaliation, and the current ceasefire. He then breaks down the broader issue of why this kind of military attack is a far worse strategy than diplomacy at preventing Iran from weaponizing their nuclear program.

  • What is this War Truly About?

    What is this War Truly About?
    Jun 19 2025
    Join Avi as he discusses the ongoing war between Israel and Iran. He discusses Israel's motivations as they expand the scope of their targets beyond nuclear sites, the potential for US involvement, and how the US got roped into yet another war in the first place. He then discusses the impact this war has had on innocent Israelis and Iranians, as well as the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
