Summary

Increasing numbers of Israeli soldiers are becoming disillusioned with fighting in Gaza and other areas of conflict in Lebanon and the West Bank, leading some to refuse to return to the battlefield. According to a report in Israeli outlet HaMakom, interviews with over 20 parents and fighters in a range of battalions have revealed increasing disatisfaction in the ranks.

Among the Nahal Brigade, soldiers spend five weeks fighting in Gaza before returning home to rest, something they have done 11 times so far since the beginning of fighting October 2023.

Jimmy speaks with Congressional candidate Jose Vega and retired Marine Scott Ritter about why the circumstances in Gaza would lead IDF soldiers in particular to refuse to fight any more.

Plus segments on MSNBC’s disappearing of a segment during which journalist Jeremy Scahill excoriates the network for pushing Israeli propaganda, how opposition to the US-led world order is bringing other nations together and a BBC whistleblower’s revelations about the network’s pro-Israel bias.

Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Jake Tapper!
