Episode 122 - The Writing is on the Apartheid Wall

It’s day 227 of the genocide. The ICC judge, Karim Khan, has applied for arrest warrants for three Hamas members (Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri, & Ismail Hanieyh) as well as Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gollant and Benjamin Netanyahu. Lara points out that this list could have been (and should be) so much longer. She also clarifies that applying for these warrants is not the same as issuing them, and now it’s a waiting game to see if they’re issued. Lara also points out that Judge Khan did not file for genocide, rather for war crimes and crimes against humanity. In reality, the ICC remains a legislative body without any power to enforce; this is the first step among many to end the Israeli apartheid state. The duo discusses the recent attack on a Jenin refugee camp which killed a doctor and a journalist among children and other civilians. Michael compares Netanyahu’s directives to those of Hitler when he fled to his bunker. Lara reads out new legislation introduced in the House (H.R. 8445) providing IOF members visa free entry into the US and full Veteran’s Affairs hospital & healthcare access, including being put at the top of the organ transplant list. Michael reads out quotes from Knesset members who are admitting defeat.

Episode 095 - Laundering Money for War Crimes

Michael and Lara break down the newly released ‘US National Strategy to Counteract Antisemitism’ and find, unsurprisingly, that it’s rooted in support for the state of ‘Israel’ and received little to no coverage by the western media. Furthermore, 50 organizations across the US have been found to be involved in fundraising for illegal Israeli settlements, and much of this ‘fundraising’ masquerades as charitable activity. A recent law that was proposed in New York to prohibit charitable organization from funding illegal settlements was met with backlash from the Israeli lobby, despite this being agains the Geneva Convention. Money laundering is just another way that the state of ‘Israel’ uses and controls the US, who in turn shell out 4 billion dollars to them each year. Michael goes on to expose the IOF officers caught at a shooting range, naked. This shines more light on the relationship between weapons, sexual violence, and destruction that sits at the root of zionist logic. Sexual violence has been used as a tactic to eradicate Palestinians, and the sexualization of IOF members has been used to attract American spouses for IOF soldiers. Despite the open calls for genocide by the IOF and its supporters, pro-Palestinian support is still classified as antisemitic, and the US media and government are still controlled by the Israeli lobby.
