Benjamin Netanyahu has stirred tremendous controversy with his recent announcement that Israel will be occupying Gaza. Not 75%. 100%. Full occupation. In light of many of the world's Western nations now lining up to recognize a Palestinian State, is this Israel's most viable option?

In this livestreamed episode of A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar, co-hosts Andrew Fox and Shana Meyerson chat up their guest, former IDF Spokesperson Lt. Col. (Res.) Peter Lerner, to get to the bottom of this military and humanitarian quagmire. (Originally streamed on X)

It's Day 640 of the October 7th War. The IDF now occupies approximately 65% of the Gaza Strip and Hamas and Israel are back at the negotiation table, trying to procure a hostage for ceasefire deal.

In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar... cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the implications of the current talks to potentially end the Israel-Hamas War. But the gaps between the two parties' demands remain vast. Are these discussions for real? Or just for show?

The Israel-Iran 12-Day War may be over. But, then again...it may not be a twelve-day war after all. In the wake of 46 years of tensions between the two countries, is it really feasible that it would all come to an end after less than two weeks at war?

In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar... cohost, Shana Meyerson, examine the broad spectrum of Battle Damage Assessments (BDA) coming from various sources and what should be extrapolated from those findings. The repercussions of the joint US-Israel attacks on Iran are far-reaching and complex. Andrew and Shana help you to untangle them.

Shana also discusses how antisemitic double standards drive the entire global debate about Israel.

The Israeli War to dismantle Iran's nuclear infrastructure has been hard and fast. There was a lot of speculation about whether Trump would step in and finish the job. He did. At least the United States stepped in. But is the job finished?

In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar... cohost, Shana Meyerson, dissect the escalation and eventual descalation of the war to save the world from a nuclear armed Iran. Will the Ayatollah Khamenei survive the war? Or is regime change on the horizon?

#israel #iran

Military expert Andrew Fox delivers an urgent, no-nonsense briefing following Israel’s decisive strike on key Iranian military, scientific, and hierarchical targets. With years of experience analyzing Middle East conflict zones, Fox explains this necessary and precise blow against Iran’s escalating regional threat network. He and co-host Shana Meyerson discuss Israel's actions as not only justified, but essential for preventing a larger war, dismantling Iran’s proxy terror infrastructure, and restoring deterrence in the region.

In this live discussion, Andrew Fox analyzes the Israeli Defense Forces and their surgical accuracy, minimizing civilian casualties while crippling Iran's strategic assets. Tehran’s ambitions for regional domination and nuclear capability left Israel with no choice but to act decisively...and quickly. Israel will never allow its enemies to threaten its survival unchallenged. Never Again is Now.
