Episode Details

Is the West's devotion to Israel rational statecraft, or ideological blindness dragging the whole imperial order down with it? Laith Marouf, founder of Free Palestine TV, returns to break down why even mainstream military and intelligence assessments now admit Iran cannot be defeated, why the CIA's own hidden regional bases have been destroyed, and why Washington's pivot to economic warfare, sanctioning Iranian gold, crypto, and aviation, is a mark of desperation rather than strategy. Laith argues a rational empire would have abandoned Israel decades ago to preserve itself, but Jewish supremacist ideology among Western elites now overrides basic imperial self-interest, pushing them to strip their own populations of civil liberties to protect the colony.
