Matt and Mike discuss the escallation of a holy war in the Middle East and what it looks like going forward.
- The discussion focuses on the recent escalation of violence between Israel and Palestinian militant groups in Gaza.
- The violence is compared to a more intense 9/11 with brutal terrorist attacks killing civilians including children.
- This conflict could be the kickoff of a holy war and continuation of the crusades between Islam and Christianity.
- Responses have been divisive both in the region and globally with some calling for the removal of Palestine's right to exist.
- The US is fully backing Israel, sending an aircraft carrier to the region. Some American politicians advocate escalated attacks on Iran.
- Experts warn the violence could spike oil prices causing economic recession. There are concerns about the stability of post-war institutions like the UN.
- The consensus view is innocent civilians should not be targeted. But the terrorism signals dark times ahead with more instability and loss of life.
- The conflict inflames tensions between the West and Middle East. It remains to be seen if cooler heads will prevail as the situation risks spiraling out of control.
