  • 🎙️In this episode, I speak with John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute, Co-Director of the Urban Warfare Project, and host of the Urban Warfare Project Podcast at West Point.Spencer discusses the double standards applied to Israel and why these judgments are, at best, misleading. He also exposes the misrepresented narratives and misinformation spread by mainstream media about the Gaza conflict. With firsthand insights, Spencer explains the unique demands of urban warfare, expectations in these combat situations, and compares Israel's military tactics to historical standards in urban warfare. He further delves into the challenges of Hamas’ tunnel warfare, the IDF’s efforts to limit collateral damage, and the real figures for combatant and civilian casualties in this conflict.For anyone seeking a deeper, more accurate understanding of Israel's war against Hamas - or for those who think they’ve heard it all - this conversation offers critical insights.►John Spencer on X - https://x.com/spencerguard►John Spencer's YouTube - ‪@johnspencer328‬ Stay tuned for more thought-provoking discussions and eye-opening content! 👍🏽 Like and Subscribe to the channel!🔔Head editor - Yinon Sofer


  • 🎙️In this episode, I am honored to speak with Professor Benny Morris, one of Israel’s most distinguished historians and a leading authority on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A founding figure of the “New Historians” movement, Morris has reexamined pivotal events in Israel’s early history, particularly the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, offering groundbreaking insights that have shaped both academic and public discourse.Renowned for his unwavering commitment to evidence and meticulous research, Morris is the author of seminal works such as The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem and 1948: A History of the First Arab-Israeli War. His fearless dedication to uncovering the truth has sparked debate across the political spectrum, cementing his reputation as a historian loyal to the facts, no matter how inconvenient.In this conversation, we tackle pressing questions: Is Israel truly a settler-colonial state? What are the realistic prospects for peace or a political resolution in the region? How many of Gaza’s population are genuinely uninvolved in the conflict? Why does the Israeli-Palestinian issue dominate the world stage? And what, in his view, should be Israel’s approach to the Iranian nuclear threat?With decades of trailblazing academic experience and a steadfast reliance on evidence and data, Prof. Morris provides bold, eye-opening perspectives on the current conflict and its historical roots. Don’t miss this thought-provoking discussion with one of the world’s foremost experts on the Middle East.Stay tuned for more thought-provoking discussions and eye-opening content! 👍🏽 Like and Subscribe to the channel!🔔Head editor - Yinon Sofer
