In this episode, we break down what really happened during the so-called “12-Day War” between Israel, the U.S., and Iran — and why it’s not about nuclear weapons.
Dr. Assal Rad joins us to speak on the role Israel’s need for regional instability, and how Western media coverage obscures the bigger picture: the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the occupation at the heart of every crisis in the region.
Because, as Dr. Rad reminds us, nothing in the region will be resolved until Palestinians are free.

Free speech is under attack—especially when it comes to Palestine.
From the censorship of student voices to the assassinations of journalists in Gaza, the cost of telling the truth about Palestine has never been higher. At Mondoweiss, we publish fearless reporting and critical analysis that others won’t touch—because we believe the public needs to know the truth about Palestine.
We’re funded by readers who believe in justice, transparency, and freedom of the press.

The Palestinian cause has long been in the hands of media and Western politicians.
Ehud Olmert pointed out a disciplied campaign for equal rights could move the issue into the hands of the American people. Mamdani’s success lends credience.
