  • Decades in the Making: Missed Warnings Behind the Israel–Hezbollah Crisis

    Decades in the Making: Missed Warnings Behind the Israel–Hezbollah Crisis
    Mar 20 2026
    500 rocket attacks in days and the world is still arguing about “restraint.” In this episode, you’ll learn why the Israel–Hezbollah conflict didn’t suddenly erupt, but was decades in the making. From failed UN resolutions and ignored warnings to Hezbollah’s transformation into a global terror-crime network backed by Iran. We break down what the headlines leave out: the legal case for Israel’s response, the reality behind “ceasefire” arguments and how international inaction helped create the current crisis. If you want to actually understand what’s happening and what may come next, this is the context you’ve been missing.

As Netanyahu juggles court appearances while leading Israel through war, the episode explores a deeper question: how democracies balance judicial independence, political pressure and national security in moments of crisis. Watch to understand the legal principles, political tensions and constitutional dilemmas shaping one of Israel’s most controversial debates.

  • The Big Lie About the Iran War: What International Law Actually Says

    The Big Lie About the Iran War: What International Law Actually Says
    Mar 5 2026
    Politicians and pundits around the world are claiming that U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran violate international law, but what if that narrative completely misunderstands how the law of armed conflict actually works? In this episode of Basic Law, Aylana Meisel is joined by Natasha Hausdorff, barrister and legal director of 'UK Lawyers for Israel' to break down the difference between jus ad bellum and jus in bello, the legal meaning of “imminent threats,” and why much of the international commentary may be misapplying the rules that govern war. Cutting through political rhetoric and legal buzzwords, this episode explains how context, ongoing conflict, and self-defense shape the legal framework behind modern military strikes—and why misinterpreting international law can ultimately undermine its credibility.
