Kumars is off this week, so Roqayah is joined from the top of the show by war correspondent writer and video journalist Hadi Hoteit, producer of "Free Palestine TV" and "Wartime Cafe with Laith Marouf" along with other programming at Free Palestine TV.

Hadi and Roqayah discuss the conditions that led to the Lebanese resistance entering the war against the US and Israel, including the latest attempt by the Lebanese state to disarm Hezbollah, as well as the legacy of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and what he has meant to anticolonial resistance in West Asia.

You can watch Free Palestine TV on YouTube and follow Hadi on Twitter @HadiHtt.
