On Israel's invasion of Lebanon and beyond.
Karl Sharro (Lebanese-Iraqi architect and satirist @KarlreMarks) and Iranian writer and historian Arash Azizi join us to discuss war in the Middle East. We ask:
-
Is Israel finally waging the great war that will rid it of all enemies?
-
Does Israel have any real plan? What motivates its actions in Gaza and Lebanon?
-
What is the impact on Hezbollah of losing its leadership layers?
-
How will Iran respond and what is the balance between moderates and hardliners there?
-
If Hezbollah is severely weakened, what happens to the Lebanese state?
-
What should we make of the global culture war around Israel, Palestine and the rest
