Ep. 262.5 – The ceasefire that never was (free preview)
Thursday, 7 May, 2026
This week, Roqayah and Kumars devote the hour to a news roundup and analysis of Roqayah's reporting on the reality on the ground during the latest fake ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, which has now extended after US-brokered negotiations with Lebanon's comprador government. They also discuss the media fueling rising anti-Shia sectarianism, how Israel uses the bombing of Beirut as a bargaining chip in its attempt to re-occupy south Lebanon, why reports of Hezbollah's demise were greatly exaggerated, and Roqayah's "do's and don't's" for foreigners journalists in Lebanon. Don't miss Kumars's upcoming virtual roundtable on "Indigeneity and Resistance from Turtle Island to Palestine" featuring friend of the show Alex Aviña, Palestinian scholar Steven Salaita, and Kanien'kehá:ka filmmaker Clifton Nicholas!
