October 24, 2024: Israel Expansionist plans in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran / JNF's Charitable Status Revoked

In this episode, we will first look at the Israeli government’s latest expansionist plans in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. As we speak, Israel is actively stealing the entire northern region of Gaza, we will see how Israel’s genocidal warfare is helping its aims at emptying Gaza in order to populate it with Israeli settlers. Then, we will move on to Lebanon, and talk about the new unhinged demands from the Israeli government as part of the ceasefire negotiations with Lebanon. It seems that Israel is demanding to be given permission to operate militarily in Lebanon whenever it pleases in the future. Finally, we will focus on Iran and see Israel’s goal to start a direct confrontation with Iran as well. Newly leaked documents in the US seem to show that Israel is planning to attack nuclear facilities in Iran. In the second part of the show, we will return to Canada and talk about the decision by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to revoke the charitable status of the Jewish National Fund (JNF). We will learn more about this organization, why is it problematic, why did the CRA come to that decision, and will the JNF succeed in overturning the decision.
