Ep 135 – Live from Beirut with Rania Khalek
This week, Lara and Michael sit down with acclaimed Lebanese-American journalist, Rania Khalek. Reporting from Beirut, Rania comments on Israel’s use of a 2000-pound bunker-buster bomb on a residential building filled with families in Central Beirut on the evening of November 22, 2024.
Noting that killing sleeping families was a policy first rolled out in the Gaza Genocide through the use of the Israeli AI “Where’s Daddy”, Lara asks Rania to elaborate on the similarities and differences between Israel’s assaults on Gaza and Lebanon.
Rania comments on the ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant. Michael provides an update on the Israeli occupation’s military losses in Lebanon. Lara reminds listeners of the essential truth that Palestinians are struggling for their freedom against colonialism, which is the gravest affront to a people’s right to self-determination.

The statement described Kogan’s killing as “a heinous anti-Semitic terrorist act,” according to its expression, noting that the temporary entity will do its utmost “until justice is served against the criminals responsible for his killing.”
Coming from scumbags who dare to say that an arrest warrant for genocide is ‘antisemitism’, it sounds laughable.
