BreakThrough News   Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear discuss Israel’s resumption of its genocidal war on Palestinians in Gaza, launched just a day before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was set to face his corruption trial. Israel, backed by a green light from Trump, intensified the bombing of Gaza, began a ground invasion, and killed over 500 Palestinians within 48 hours while enforcing a total blockade of Gaza. Eugene states that Israel never wanted to go through with the ceasefire because “the Israeli project can’t succeed unless it totally ethnically cleanses the territories it claims– and kills anyone in the way.” Recognizing that they may “not get the chance again,” they are putting their foot on the accelerator.” 

The Grayzone   The Grayzone 's Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate on how the Trump administration covered for Israel shattering the Gaza ceasefire, making way for one of the worst massacres of civilians in recent history.

by Alan Macleod  Part 1 A far-right, pro-Israel group with a history of support for terror and genocide is working closely with the Trump administration, preparing dossiers on thousands of pro-Palestine figures it wants deported from the United States. Betar U.S. is known to have had several meetings with senior government officials and has claimed credit for the arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of the nationwide anti-genocide student demonstrations that began at Columbia University last year. Ross Glick, the group’s executive director until last month, noted that he met with a diverse set of influential lawmakers, including Democratic senator John Fetterman and aides to the Republican senators Ted Cruz and James Lankford, and that all supported Betar U.S.’ campaign to rid the country of thousands of “terror supporters.” Shortly after Glick’s trip to Washington, D.C., Trump signed an executive order titled “Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism” that promises ...

The professor at the center of the Columbia University deportation scandal is a former Israeli intelligence official, MintPress News can reveal. Mahmoud Khalil, a recent graduate of the university’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), was abducted by Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) Saturday for his role in organizing protests last year against Israel’s attack on Gaza. Khalil’s dean, Dr. Keren Yarhi-Milo, head of the School of International and Public Affairs, is a former Israeli military intelligence officer and official at Israel’s Mission to the United Nations. Yarhi-Milo played a significant role in drumming up public concern about a supposed wave of intolerable anti-Semitism sweeping over the campus, thereby laying the groundwork for the extensive crackdown on civil liberties that has followed the protests.   by Alan Macleod   Part 2 - Unprecedented Protests, Unprecedented Repression Columbia was the epicenter of a massive protest movement across ...

Danny Haiphong   Geopolitical analyst Ben Norton joined to give a full breakdown of just how Yemen has been able to stand up to the US & Israel in the Red Sea, detailing both the military and political implications of what it means for Yemen, Gaza, and the rest of the region. 

BreakThrough News   Craig Mokhiber, a human rights lawyer, joins the show to discuss the US’s airstrikes on Yemen. Trump’s bombardment follows Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement's resumption of its blockade of Israel-bound ships in the Red Sea – a solidarity action for Gaza after Israel choked off all aid. Mokhiber explains how according to international law, all nations are expected to cut ties with the Israeli occupation and act to prevent genocide– yet the US is bombing Yemen for doing precisely that.

Israeli newspaper Haaretz yesterday accused the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of derailing the Gaza ceasefire agreement, not Hamas.       Israel – not Hamas – is the one preventing the deal’s implementation and the hostages’ return Haaretz said in an editorial. The Israeli occupation army once again began pounding the Gaza Strip with air strikes since Tuesday, killing more than 400 Palestinians, injuring hundreds, and shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January. The government claimed that the assault was renewed due to Hamas’ “repeated” rejection of all proposals to extend the ceasefire and release Israeli captives.   “But it must be said, loudly and clearly, that this is a lie. It was Israel, not Hamas, that violated the agreement,” Haaretz commented. “On its 16th day, the parties were supposed to begin discussing the second phase, which was supposed to end with the release of all the remaining hostages...
