Biden Bombs Iraq as Earth Boils
It's hot AF! The Left Bitches are wrapping up the season all sweaty. The climate crisis is real... so we're getting rid of our plastic straws once and for all! Kidding, fuck Big Oil.

Meanwhile, Israel is really demolishing the Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan to build a religious theme park. Finally, we answer the question you all have been wondering since we started this thing: Is Greg a Left Bitch? The Left Bitches are Anissa Naouai, Erica Marable, Amanda Getty, and Ryan Wentz.

Jewish, Israeli, and...ANTI-ZIONIST? w/ Miko Peled
Life as an anti-Zionist Israeli Jew: Author and human rights activist Miko Peled reflects on growing up in a prominent Zionist family in Israel, what turned his world upside down, and how he came to be an outspoken supporter of the liberation of Palestine. What’s with the two-state delusion? What does justice look like for Palestinians? What good is a ceasefire if Israel’s colonial violence continues? And will the new Israeli government be any different from the last? Plus, how have Israel’s most recent atrocities united Palestinians across all regions of Palestine? And how have they mobilized the so-called “international community”?

Palestine Pushback: Bernie, The Hulk & The Hadids
Does Bella Hadid have bigger balls than The Hulk? As Israel’s ongoing warcrimes against Palestinians continue, Zionists are pulling out all the stops to salvage Israel’s image worldwide. Big Tech's censoring pro-Palestine content (oh hey, Instagram!) while the pro-Israel lobby smears celebrity voices speaking for justice. Mark Ruffalo crumbled under pressure and took back “genocide”; what did Bernie Sanders urge that has The Bitches calling for his cucking cancellation? Plus the New York Times' full-page ad slamming Palestinian supermodels for supporting a second Holocaust. You can't make this shit up!

Palestine: How You Can Actually Help w/ Abby Martin
As Israel's heinous war crimes intensify, enormous crowds are mobilizing across the globe in support of Palestine. Are the Bitches naive to believe the tide may finally be turning toward justice? Abby Martin, creator of the Empire Files and director of Gaza Fights for Freedom, talks media lies, pro-Israel propaganda, and what people of conscience can do to support the liberation of Palestinians from apartheid.

Palestine Under Attack w/ Ali Abunimah
Palestine is rising, resisting and rejecting Israel's racist colonial occupation that’s violently subjugated millions since 1948. Will there be justice as long as Western imperialism has a say? Electronic Intifada director Ali Abunimah parses the bloodthirsty propaganda from corporate media that’s been distorting the reality on the ground in the Middle East since day 1. How can Israel get away with gassing Palestinian worshippers at al Aqsa in Jerusalem and carpet bombing Palestinian civilian neighborhoods in Gaza on the same day? Plus, how the US invests in Israeli apartheid and settler-colonialism, how Israel fights Washington's dirty wars, and why virtue-signaling liberals who back Zionist policy can't have it both ways (and why AOC can't save you now). What are these so-called "shared values" between the US and Israel anyway? Follow Ali on Twitter! The Left Bitches are Anissa Naouai, Erica Marable, Amanda Getty, and Ryan Wentz.
