In this fascinating conversation with antiwar activist Scott Horton, we dive deep into Netanyahu's dangerous rhetoric equating "Free Palestine" with "Heil Hitler" and examine how this represents a calculated attack on free speech designed to delegitimize criticism of Israeli actions in Gaza.

Scott reveals the shocking history behind Israel's relationship with Hamas, drawing on extensive documentation showing how Israeli leaders actively supported Hamas to undermine the secular PLO and prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state. "Don't worry, we control the height of the flame," Netanyahu once said, believing he could manage Hamas while using their existence to justify avoiding peace negotiations. This strategy catastrophically backfired on October 7th.

The conversation takes a startling turn when we discuss Israel firing on European diplomats in the West Bank – an incident that received surprisingly little media attention despite its severity. "They know they have total impunity," Scott explains, detailing how Netanyahu's non-apology and false claims about Iranian involvement demonstrate a pattern of deception.

We also examine Trump's apparent confusion about an attack on Putin's helicopter during a press conference, raising questions about presidential briefings on critical security matters. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's admission that Western air defense systems for Ukraine are being depleted faster than they can be replenished reveals a strategic weakness that could determine the war's outcome.

Perhaps most fascinating is Scott's breakdown of America's policy reversal in Yemen, where after years of supporting Saudi Arabia against the Houthis, the US now appears to be targeting Al-Qaeda – the very group the Houthis have been fighting. This whiplash in strategy exemplifies the contradictions in American foreign policy that continue regardless of which party holds power.
