Operation Eternal Darkness: Militarism and AI Targeting in a Post-Accountability World
Summary
Hosts and guest Janet Abu Elias discuss Israel’s entrenchment in southern Lebanon through "pilot zones" and permanent infrastructure, arguing this aims to stoke civil war. They critique the U.S. for enabling Israeli impunity while failing to restrain aggression. The episode connects these foreign policy failures to the erosion of accountability and the rise of a domestic surveillance state in the U.S.
