After 3 years of Genocide in Gaza, the planet has experienced a level moral cohesion that is unprecedented. This, combined with the revelations coming out of the Epstein files, has set the stage for a level of global solidarity against a common enemy that we have never seen.Iran and Lebanon have shifted the power dynamics through their strategic operations and messaging to the world and in doing so have opened the floodgates of resistance in the region that united Sunni, Shia, Christian and secular, despite the Wahabi and sectarian psyops working overtime to divide. We discuss this unity and the failure of imperial manipulations in the region with a formidable panel of gifted and determined voices from Lebanon and Palestine.Soha Yassine is a guerrilla journalist and narrative podcaster whose work inside the Lebanese hip hop scene — through Safe House Travel Diary — documents resistance, identity, and survival on the ground.
