#1718 On the Path to Destruction: Israel Attacks Iran as Support for War on Gaza Drops

Air Date: 6-25-2025

We thought we were going to have an episode about the war Israel is conducting ready for you last week but then they started another war. So, it would have felt odd to release an Israel episode without the latest major updates including Iran. I can only imagine what will happen between the time I speak these words and when you hear them that will make this episode feel out of date.

What Happens When Bereaved Israelis and Palestinians Share Their Pain?
