Darryl Cooper of the MartyrMade Podcast joins Scott to discuss the Hamas attacks, the Israeli response and the Israel-Palestine conflict more broadly. They touch on some of the Israeli military and intelligence failures in the lead-up to the Hamas attacks last Saturday. And they mourn the fact that a lot more death and destruction is all but guaranteed to come from this.

Discussed on the show:

• “NETANYAHU IS FINISHED” (Seymour Hersh)
• Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem
• “It’s All About Provoking Your Reaction” (Libertarian Institute)
• Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky

Darryl Cooper is the creator of The MartyrMade Podcast, jumping headfirst into the fever dreams of human history, never checking the depth until he’s in over his head. He is also the co-host of The Unraveling podcast w/Jocko Willink.
