Prof. Avi Shlaim: Trump-Netanyahu war on Iran is the most unjustified and foolish war in the 21st century

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Israeli-British historian Prof. Avi Shlaim. He discusses why he calls Donald Trump’s and Benjamin Netanyahu’s war on Iran the most unjustified, senseless, and foolish war in the 21st century, with Netanyahu as the chief architect. He also discusses the overwhelming support of Israeli society for the war on Iran, why Iran is not an existential threat to Israel, the impact of unconditional US support for Israel across the region, the disconnect between Western governments and their publics on support for Israel, European nations’ complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the power of the Israel lobby in the UK and the criminalization of Palestine Action, and much more.
