In this episode of The Source, we talk to author and independent journalist Fabian Scheidler about the latest developments surrounding Israel-Gaza and Ukraine. We begin the interview by looking at Fabian Scheidler's recent article highlighting the hypocrisy of mainstream political parties in Germany who on one hand support local demonstrations against far-right parties, but on the other hand continue to support far-right governments abroad. We then assess the credibility of South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice as well as the Israeli intelligence agency's claim that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has been infiltrated by Hamas. We also look at the significance of the escalating situation in the Red Sea between the Houthi militia from Yemen and the US military. And finally, we discuss the latest international developments in connection with the war in Ukraine.
