Blood on the Streets: The Middle East Explained for People Who Hate the News
Wed Jan 14 2026
This week on The Weekly Squeeze, I’m walking you through what is actually happening across the Middle East, without the academic jargon, and without pretending any of this is normal. We start with Iran, where protests have turned deadly, rumors are darker by the day, and a regime is openly waging war on its own people. From there, I zoom out to the rest of the region, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and then bring it home to life inside Israel, the security reality, the internal political battles, the UNRWA fight, the cost of living, and the constant background noise of living in a country that never gets a quiet week.
This episode is for people who hate politics and hate the news but still want to understand what is going on without losing their minds. It is honest, blunt, unapologetically pro Israel, Torah grounded, occasionally dark, sometimes funny, and very much how Israelis actually process the world around us right now.
