For decades, we've been told Israel wants peace but has no partner to negotiate with. In Part 4 of the Israel-Palestine myth series, we show the opposite is true — tracing how Israel created Hamas, crushed every Palestinian protest movement, ignored every peace offer, and has kept imprisoned for 23 years the one Palestinian leader its own Mossad director said could negotiate. The "no partner" myth isn't just false. It's a policy. Check out my substack page where I tackle some of the epi...
In Part 3 of my Myths of Israel-Palestine series, I examine the claim that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. In this episode, I trace the pattern from the founding documents to present day - examining the laws that codify discrimination, the mechanisms of control in the West Bank and Gaza, and why prominent scholars and major human rights organizations have reached the same conclusion. Check out my substack page where I tackle some of the episode topics in depth and write...
In part 2 of my Israel-Palestine myth's series, I take a look at how Israel's "defensive" wars were actually planned expansion and how unconditional US backing enabled complete impunity. From 1967, to Sabra and Shatila, to "mowing the grass" in Gaza, Israel has operated under official doctrine of "intentional disproportionate force" while claiming self-defense. I examine the U.S. role in this impunity and what it means for understanding October 7th and Gaza today. Check out my substack ...
In a five-part series examining the myths that define the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I explore the truth behind the stories we’ve been told. In Part 1, I take on the myth of Palestinian rejectionism — the claim that Palestinians have always rejected peace. From the 1947 UN Partition Plan to the Oslo Accords, Camp David, and the 2008 negotiations, this episode examines what was actually offered, why those deals failed, and how the rejectionism narrative became one of the most powerful myths...
In Episode 25 of Khannecting the Dots, I come full circle — back to one of the main issues that pushed me to start this show: DEI. After Trump blamed DEI for everything from plane crashes to institutional failure, corporations raced to roll back diversity programs. But the backlash was never really about policy — it was about power. This episode breaks down how “DEI” became a coded scapegoat, why DEI succeeded in some places and failed in others, and how zero-sum fear keeps working people d...
Trump is dismantling the Department of Education. This episode examines how it’s happening, why now, and what it means for students, civil rights enforcement, and public education itself.

In this episode, I trace how corporate power and political influence destroyed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, silencing the only federal agency whose sole mission was protecting ordinary consumers. From real-world cases to court rulings and donor pressure, this is the story of what happens when the watchdog is taken off the beat.

For over 500 days, the people of El Fasher held out under a brutal siege. When the city finally fell, the world witnessed one of the deadliest mass-killing events of the war in Sudan. Through survivor testimonies, satellite evidence, and international reporting, I examine how it happened, who enabled it, and what El Fasher asks of us now.

The Trump administration says it’s fighting cartels. In reality, it’s conducting extrajudicial killings in international waters — a campaign that echoes some of the darkest chapters in modern history. This episode follows the story from secret legal memos to bodies in the Caribbean, connecting the dots between America’s new war on drugs, its vanishing checks on power, and a dangerous slide toward impunity. Check out my substack page where I tackle some of the episode topics in depth and...
Two years after October 7th, the world claims to have learned its lesson — recognizing Palestine, calling for peace, promising justice. But behind the headlines, Gaza lies in ruins, famine spreads, and a “peace plan” crafted by Trump and Netanyahu threatens to cement permanent occupation under billionaire control. In this episode I investigate what has — and hasn’t — changed since that day, and ask: What does recognition mean when nothing changes for the people living under siege? Check out m...
Charlie Kirk was killed on September 10th. Within hours, the tragedy was transformed into a weapon of political warfare. In this episode, I break down how Kirk’s views and rhetoric are being rewritten, how Trump and his allies are using his death to demonize millions of Americans, and why every act of violence now risks becoming fuel for more division. Because if every tragedy is weaponized, we’re not stopping the violence — we’re guaranteeing more of it. Check out my substack page wher...
When an Israeli government official was arrested in Las Vegas for trying to lure what he thought was a 15-year-old girl, he walked free on $10,000 bail and fled back to Israel within days. But this isn't just one case of justice denied—it's the latest example of a decades-long protection racket that has shielded Israel from accountability even when American citizens are killed. How does a foreign lobby become so powerful that alleged child predators walk free while their critics get cen...
What happens when you take decades of American development work — the programs that fed families, kept clinics open, and gave people reasons not to flee their homes — and throw it all into the wood chipper? That’s exactly what happened to USAID in 2025. In this episode, I dig into what was lost, why it matters for people abroad and here at home, and what it says about how power is being used in Washington today. Check out my substack page where I tackle some of the episode topics in dep...
Netanyahu just green-lit the reoccupation of Gaza City. How did we reach this point? While media debates focus on whether photos tell the truth, I dig into what the official records actually show. From UN famine statistics to Israeli cabinet statements to military warnings, this episode connects the dots to understand the documented reality behind the headlines. Check out my substack page where I tackle some of the episode topics in depth and write about other issues our country and the...
In this episode I dig into how Trump’s push to redraw Texas’s congressional map has exposed one of the most aggressive power plays in recent political history. Working hand in hand with Texas Republicans, the plan aims to lock in more GOP seats before voters ever cast a ballot in 2026. I follow the fight from the statehouse to the national stage — walkouts, lawsuits, threats of arrest — and examine the high-stakes game of political retaliation now brewing in other states. It’s a ca...
Elon Musk’s time at the Department of Government Efficiency made headlines — but the real story of DOGE goes beyond the chainsaws and theatrics. In this episode, we unpack how a program sold as “efficiency” quietly reshaped the role of government, shifted public power into private hands, and left a legacy that’s still unfolding today. Check out my substack page where I tackle some of the episode topics in depth and write about other issues our country and the world are facing today. htt...
Join me as I revisit the “One Big Beautiful Bill” and unpack what changed, what stayed the same, and who really benefits. From devastating Medicaid cuts to massive tax breaks for the wealthy, this episode breaks down the promises Republicans made—and the realities Americans now face. We’ll explore how Trump’s influence shaped the bill, silenced opposition, and turned political theater into policy. Whether you’re following politics closely or just trying to understand what’s happening, this ep...
This episode uncovers the hidden connections behind today’s headlines in the Middle East, revealing how wars, peace deals, and shifting alliances are all part of a larger strategy reshaping the region. From Gaza to Yemen, it traces the real-world impact of policies that have moved from the political fringe to the center of power. You’ll hear how international support and silence have enabled dramatic changes on the ground—and why understanding these patterns matters now more than ever. Tune i...
How did decades of warnings about Iran’s nuclear ambitions turn into all-out war—and what role did Netanyahu play in pulling the US into the fight? What does the outcome mean for the greater Middle East? Join me as I unpack the history, the political maneuverings, and the intelligence battles that set the stage for the 12-Day War between Iran and Israel. Check out my substack page where I tackle some of the episode topics in depth and write about other issues our country and the world are fac...
In this final episode of my four-part immigration series, I examine the scope and impact of Trump's second-term immigration policies, including mass deportations, the targeting of legal immigrants and international students, and the administration's use of El Salvador's CECOT prison to detain migrants. I explore the attempted elimination of birthright citizenship through executive order, the economic consequences of widespread enforcement raids, and the dismissal of immigration court ca...
