    /444/ Opportunism & Revenge in the Middle East ft. Karl Sharro & Arash Azizi
    Oct 15 2024

    On Israel's invasion of Lebanon and beyond.

    Karl Sharro (Lebanese-Iraqi architect and satirist @KarlreMarks) and Iranian writer and historian Arash Azizi join us to discuss war in the Middle East. We ask:

    • Is Israel finally waging the great war that will rid it of all enemies?

    • Does Israel have any real plan? What motivates its actions in Gaza and Lebanon?

    • What is the impact on Hezbollah of losing its leadership layers?

    • How will Iran respond and what is the balance between moderates and hardliners there?

    • If Hezbollah is severely weakened, what happens to the Lebanese state?

    • What should we make of the global culture war around Israel, Palestine and the rest
