About this episode

The brothers welcome the political analyst Mouin Rabbani (@MouinRabbani) to the show to discuss the broader implications of Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza, the loss of Israeli military credibility, the implications of the recent ICJ and ICC decisions for Israel's growing global isolation, and the growing sense that we may be at an inflection point in the Zionist conflict with the Palestinian people as Israel becomes more of a liability than an asset, politically, militarily and electorally.
