Desperation & Defiance: "Israel"'s Assassinations of Haniyeh & Shukr, & the Resolve of the Axis of Resistance w/ al-Fida'i Media & Matteo Capasso

2 hours 13 minutes

In this critical Dispatch episode of Guerrilla History, we are joined by Abdullah Shehadeh from al-Feda'i Media (formerly known as al-Falastineyeh) and Matteo Capasso (whom you will remember from our episode on the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya) to discuss the assassinations by the Zionist entity of Ismail Haniyeh (political leader of Hamas) and Fuad Shukr (military commander of Hezbollah), as well as what we might expect from the Axis of Resistance going forward. This is a very timely discussion, and one which we hope helps you analyze the situation as it continues to unfold.

References made in the episode were to the documentary Defiance, Sarah Jilani's book Subjectivity and Decolonization in the Post-Independence Novel and Film, and the Middle East Critique video lecture series hosted by Matteo. Click on the hyperlinks to check them out!
