On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Hussein Ibish, Senior Resident Scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington. He discusses Arab leaders avoiding meeting senior US officials out of disgust, following the Biden Administration’s embrace of Israel as it conducts mass-killing in Gaza; US mainstream media coverage of the Gaza war; the Hezbollah and Arab militias being ‘dumbed-down garbage’; how Hamas and Hezbollah have acted independently during this war, contrary to mainstream media assertions that they are Iranian proxies; shifts in public opinion in the US towards sympathy for the Palestinian people, and the potential effect of this on US policy; the inevitability of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and much more.
