From Trip the Beltway Fantastic:
The war in Gaza continues today with scores of Palestinians dead, mostly from airstrikes on shelters and schools and neighborhoods outside hospitals. The displaced have nowhere else to go. In the meantime, the Israeli military has expanded its bombing and ground campaign into Lebanon, with more than 1400 dead and a million displaced since mid-September.
A new generation of reporters and editors at Antiwar.com, which has been challenging U.S. national security policy and militarism since the Bosnia War, has been working non-stop to provide readers with comprehensive, independent news on Israel’s war on Gaza and now its neighbors, since Oct. 7. It represents the libertarian right, a stalwart non-interventionist orbit that draws in fellow travelers from across the ideological and political spectrum and counts as its lodestars Ron Paul and the late Justin Raimondo.
Kyle Anzalone is news editor of the Libertarian Institute, opinion editor of Antiwar.com and co-host of the Conflicts of Interest podcast.
Dave DeCamp is host of the Antiwar News podcast, and news editor/writer at Antiwar.com
They join me to talk about what it is like to report on the war in this space, how libertarians are processing Israel’s war, and the frustration with Washington’s lack of ability or will to stop it (or at least American investment in it).

Antiwar.com rocks it, totally, for PEACE!
Free Palestine!
"the frustration with Washington’s lack of ability or will to stop it (or at least American investment in it)."
You wouldn't have any frustration if you understood what the actual hell is going on.
As I just commented to someone on Substack, at this point I listen only to Pepe Escobar and Alastair Crooke. Every other so-called "analyst" is clueless.
Professor Doctorow caused a firestorm among the analysts on Judging Freedom when he stated that it was not that the Zionists are leading us by the nose, but it was the other way around.
In an interview on Scheerpost, Michael Hudson suggested that Israel was the "cats paw" of the United States, the battering ram to clear the landscape so that America would have complete hegemony over the countries that harbor oil in their grounds. There is justification for his thoughts in the article from Scheerpost. It makes sense.
Smotrich may have exposed not only what the Zionists are shooting for (no pun intended) which is the taking over of Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Egypt of course Iran, but what the U.S. wants as well. Control of the Near East. Mr Hudson spoke of meetings he had with Uzi Arad, who became Netanyahu's chief military advisor with Mossad.

Most interesting times.
Thanks for the link. That Scheerpost article should be read by everyone. I hope AntiWar will add it to the list of content here.
