Israel-Hezbollah war NIGHTMARE SCENARIO: Israel is about to make a FATAL MISTAKE (Mitchell Plitnick)

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Mitchell Plitnick, the President of ReThinking Foreign Policy and co-author of ‘Except for Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics’. He discusses anti-Palestinian Senator John Fetterman’s visit to Israel and his rightward shift since becoming elected, how the Gaza genocide has exposed a complete mismatch between the American public and their politicians, the outright lies of Blinken and Biden that Hamas is the only party blocking a ceasefire, why US politicians’ support for Israel is built on a combination of pro-Israel lobbying, racism and Zionist beliefs, Israel’s planned war against Hezbollah in Lebanon and the far-right government’s thinking behind launching a seemingly disastrous war against Lebanon, the potential for regional escalation if Iran and Israel go to war, the political cowardice of the Biden Administration given that an all-out regional war could break out in the Middle East, the decline of what was left of the US’ prestige around the world following the Gaza genocide, why Israel is unlikely to use nuclear weapons either in Lebanon or in Gaza, the role of groups in the US such as the Anti-Defamation League in supporting the genocide and smearing opponents as anti-Semites, and much more.
