In this episode of the Kyle Anone Show, we unpack the narratives being crafted by officials in the waning days of the Biden administration. Jade Sullivan’s recent interview with Ian Bremmer reveals surprising developments in the Middle East that have shaped our understanding over the past year.

We explore how Israel has reestablished dominance and examine critical shifts involving Iran and Syria. However, amidst these discussions, it’s crucial to address what’s often overlooked: the devastating impact on Palestinian lives due to U.S.-backed actions. Join us as we unpack these complex issues and their implications for global politics.

I just found out that my old friend Bob Costello died in late November.

Bob and I met in the late 1970s in the Libertarian Party.   We worked closely at the San Francisco Montgomery Street complex that included the LP, Libertarian Review, Cato Institute, and Students for a Libertarian Society.

At least seven far-right members of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, are calling on the country’s defense minister to order the total destruction of northern Gaza’s food, water, and energy sources – most of which have already been obliterated by 15 months of relentless attacks – and the killing of any Palestinian who isn’t clearly surrendering to the attackers.

In a letter to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz dated December 31, the lawmakers assert that the Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) campaign to forcibly expel Palestinians from northern Gaza – which critics have called ethnic cleansing – “isn’t being done properly” and is not “achieving the war objectives as defined by the government, which is the dismantling of Hamas’ governing and military capabilities.”
