215/ Israel's Wars Won't Be Contained (Monologue) – The Fire These Times
For episode 215, I talk about how Israel's wars on Iran and Lebanon will spread beyond the region, and what must be done to stop them. I also talked about the ongoing generational hauntings affecting everyone in Lebanon.Lebanon emergency reliefSupport: You can support my work with a one-off or monthly donation on Ko-fiMasterclass on Modern Lebanon: Registration is now open for May 2026Newsletter: Subscribe to HauntologiesSocial Media: I’m on Bluesky, Instagram and MastodonContact: To collaborate, reach out on ayoub@thefirethesetimes.comThe Fire These TimesSocial Media: TFTT is on Bluesky and Instagram Transcription: You can help Antidote Zine transcribe TFTT episodes hereWebsite: All episodes are archived on the websiteFrom The PeripheryTFTT is a proud member of From The Periphery Media Collective, which you can support on Patreon and follow on Bluesky, YouTube and Instagram.Check out other project wherever you get your podcasts: Politically DepressedSyria: The Inconvenient Revolution From The Periphery Podcast The Mutual Aid PodcastMy recent pieces972Mag: Israel’s renewed war on Lebanon is about more than just HezbollahCrimethinc: “History Is Repeating Itself”Good Law Project: Trump’s illegal war puts all of us at riskAlso, for HauntologiesIsrael's Lebanese GhostsIranian protesters don't owe us an explanationHow Hezbollah Lost EverythingRecent Podcast interviewsThe Final Straw: The US-Israeli War with Iran Spreads, Nuclear Weapons, Lebanon and Anti-Imperial SolidarityThe Dugout: Honoring Political GhostsThe Breakup Theory: Episode 31 – Iran and the US-Israeli Death Drive EconomyCreditsElia Ayoub (host, producer, episode design), Rap and Revenge (Music), Wenyi Geng (TFTT theme design), Hisham Rifai (FTP theme design), Molly Crabapple (FTP team profile pics) and Antidote Zine (Transcriptions).Note on sound qualityThe monologues are done while I pace around which is why you might hear some audio changes, but hopefully pretty minor stuff.
