Armed Resistance & the Greater Israel Map: Gaza, Lebanon & the Genocide | Dr. Marwa Osman |
Journalist and academic Dr. Marwa Osman (Lebanese International University, Al-Ma’arif University, MidEast Stream) joins Shamim Sarif and Hanan Kattan for a raw conversation on the Gaza genocide, the war on Lebanon, and the media war fought alongside it. From the 1996 Qana massacre that shaped her childhood to the 2024 pager attacks and the “Greater Israel” map stitched onto IDF uniforms, Dr. Osman lays out the history, the propaganda, and why she believes speaking — and resisting — is no longer optional.
