9. This Fire Will Consume You Too

Ayman Makarem
About this episode

Israel attacks Rafah, an escalation in their genocide. Israel attacks Lebanon, an escalation in their collective punishment. The West continues to applaud, although now with some moans, an escalation in their complicity. Those murdered will not be the last. This violence, embodying the death of humanity, will spread and will destroy us all unless it is stopped.
