About this episode

This week (technically last week) Lara and Michael follow up on the Marvel story to show the direct connections between Marvel executives and the zionist occupation of Palestine. We cover an email chain from 2014 published by Wikileaks known as "The Sony Archives" wherein powerful executives and producers colluded to protect the image of the apartheid regime. Lara takes us through some of the viral videos that circulated the internet, including children in Jenin terrified at the sounds of zionist bombs dropping. We cover the murder of 7-year-old child Rayan Suleiman who was chased to death by occupation soldiers, and uplift the other martyrs this week from Jenin, and Jerusalem. We discuss the Jewish antizionist former Google employee who publicly resigned over the $1.2B Project Nimbus. We chat about the new AI gun placed at a checkpoint in Hebron. Finally, we discuss the insane video of Israeli women claiming to stand with the women of Iran, and we weigh in on the fact that US imperialism has never improved the conditions of women in the countries that are occupied and have their resources stolen.
