CNN is reporting about a possible Israeli “incursion” into Lebanon. Is an incursion anything like an INVASION? Is an “incursion” an act of War? When Russia did their “incursion” of Ukraine, western media called it an INVASION. Does an INVASION become an “incursion” only when Israel does it? Just like them GENOCIDE in Gaza is only Israel “defending” itself.

Over the past 12 months I’ve realised how deeply corrupt and duplicitous most mainstream news outlets are. Honestly I’m so glad that at least we now have Zeteo. I’ve learned so much all reporting is backed by evidence. I can’t even engage with CNN anymore .. it’s poor journalism

Netanyahu seems angry & hate filled, one wonders if he intends to blow up everyone, including Israel & USA?

"Career issues." The White House is committing genocide because of career issues. I know it's true, but it's beyond unacceptable. That's burn shit to the fucking ground unacceptable.

I highly recommend Dalrymple’s podcast “Empire,” which he co-hosts with Anita Anand. Anyone interested in gaining a broad scope of historical context in a conversational style will find it enjoyable. In addition to hearing Dalrymple’s inexhaustible knowledge of India, they host several notable historians specializing in other specific regions and eras. This strategy whets their listeners’ appetites for history, giving them a list of authors to focus on when pursuing further reading individually.

Dalrymple’s books are incredible, too. Thank you, Zeteo, for interviewing him.

The only thing that really bothers me about CNN, Faux News, MSNBC, NY Times and host of other Western Corporate Media is that they think they are any better than RT or other News agencies.

I am looking for one of those car stickers that shows a boy pi$$ing on Corporate News in the USA.

Since Netanyahu has literally gotten away with genocide in Gaza, he believes he can now terrorize the Lebanese people with impunity. And the United States of America, with its own hands stained with Iraqi and Afghan blood, will continue to provide weapons of mass destruction and political cover for its proxy in the Middle East. 😔

I subscribe to Robert Azzi’s Substack. I think readers of Zeteo will appreciate his columns, which at the present have been in defense of Palestine and an outcry against Israel’s genocide and destruction of Gaza.

I love that you interviewed William Dalrymple, one of my favorite authors. May the Jinns be kind to you😅

Wasn't the attack on October 8 a response to Israel's response to the Hamas attack? I don't know the exact timing--when Israel first started the bombing after the attack, what time on the 8th Hezbollah lobbed its own attack?

I enjoyed the informative discussion. But Mehdi didn’t hold Karim Makdisi’s feet to the fire (as he so often recommends in his ‘How to Win…’) about Lebanon’s failure to disarm and remove Hezbollah from the border area. Of course, I understand that the Lebanese armed forces aren’t up to it, but he should have pressed him on that point and on the consequences of that failure.
