Episode 536 – “Greater Israel” Does Lebanon (w/ Rania Khalek)

Lebanese-American journalist Rania Khalek, from BreakThrough News, reports from Beirut on Israel’s territorial expansion into Lebanon, the mass displacement of 20% of the population, & how Israelis running the Gaza playbook yet again. Hot off her viral takedown of Piers Morgan, she breaks down the “will you condemn” double standard, unpacks the diverse opinions Lebanese have about Hezbollah & normalization with Israel, and debunks all the hasbara the Ellisons see fit to print. (Note that this was recorded before AOC statement re no longer supporting Iron Dome funding, and her subsequent reframing that Israel can fund it’s own Iron Dome, which she described as “critical to keep innocent civilians safe.”)
