‘Greater Israel’ Exposed: The Existential Threat to Lebanon & the Levant

Israel and its U.S. backers are advancing a clear project: Greater Israel. That means weakening every state in the Levant, fueling sectarianism, and pressuring Lebanon to disarm — leaving the south of the country defenseless. But disarming resistance in the middle of Israel’s expansion isn’t peace. It’s surrender. So how should the Levant respond? Rania Khalek speaks with Antoun Issa, co-founder of DeepCut News, about the rise of “Greater Israel,” why disarmament would be catastrophic for Leb...

Israel Killed Shireen. The U.S. Covered It Up. Now Journalists Are Being Hunted.

Why No Military Intervention Against Israel? Hypocrisy of ‘Responsibility to Protect’

The Western elite once claimed ignorance during the Holocaust. Today, Israel’s genocide in Gaza unfolds in full view, yet nothing is done.

NATO Lost in Ukraine and the West Is In Denial, w/ Vijay Prashad

Trump met with Putin. Hillary Clinton praised his “better understanding” of Ukraine. Europe bowed its head and posed for a photo. And Ukraine? Still collapsing — politically and militarily.

Meanwhile, BRICS can’t stop U.S. rampaging in the Middle East, and Europe remains the obedient junior partner, with its leaders now fully committed to a policy of senseless militarization. Historian and Tr...

Big Tech & the Free Speech Frauds Making the Genocide Happen, w/ Lowkey

The Gaza genocide isn’t just happening on the ground. It’s being enforced through code, algorithms, blacklists, and billion-dollar tech firms. Meta is censoring the truth.
