This week, Roqayah and Kumars share their thoughts on Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing of Gaza, including escalating violence and displacement of its population.  They also discuss the Northern front, i.e. Lebanon, where since October 8th Hezballah and Israel have been engaging in a mounting offensive that has achieved a number of objectives for the Lebanese resistance faction while also directing Israel away from engaging to the fullest of its military capabilities in Gaza. They also highlight the shared history between South Lebanon and Palestine, and why there remains a fervent and unshakeable bond between the two peoples until today.

The other kind. The fun kind.
