One Year Since October 7: Kalam Digest

Edgar Mannheimer
About this episode

It's been a year since Hamas launched its attack on October 7, 2023 prompting Israel to commence what a growing number of legal scholars consider to be a genocide.

In today's episode, Edgar and Sam discuss the failure of Israel's war on Gaza since Hamas managed to launch rockets at Tel Aviv on the literal one year anniversary.

We also discuss the latest developments in the Lebanese front and the impending sense of doom we all are feeling.
