With politicians chasing clout in powerful nations like the United States, this Irsaeli-Gaza conflict has the potential to spread into nations like Iran, Lebanon and even the United States.
This is a topic that people are extremely passionate about when it comes to their views on what’s happening right now. Regardless, it’s important that we have the conversation, no matter how heated the debate may become. I say this as a trigger warning, because two of the hosts are on opposite sides of the issue and the conversation does get a little heated. Cenk Uyger should be commended, though, for having someone on again after they had a heated debate previously. He is someone that recognizes the importance of differing opinions and keeping an open mind as you hear both sides of an argument, even if you disagree with one of the sides. —Editor
“From his mountaintop perch above a valley straddling Israel and Lebanon, Mohammad Mgheis has watched no fewer than four wars unfold.
There was the 1967 Middle East War, when he was a small boy and his family scuttled from one place to another to avoid the bombs. In the 1973 Yom Kippur War, a pair of Israeli Phantom warplanes, their tails aflame, streaked above his head one night like shooting stars before crashing into the valley.”
