5 min readThe MeidasTouch Podcast episode covers widespread protests in the Middle East against U.S. and Israeli military actions under Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, alongside details of escalating strikes, Trump's rhetoric, and expert critiques of the strategy. It highlights demonstrations in multiple countries and recent attacks on infrastructure, framing the conflict as deepening sectarian divides rather than achieving submission.
Mass Protests Against the War
Millions, possibly tens of millions, protested across the Middle East against the Trump and Netanyahu regimes. In Baghdad, a million-person rally featured Shiite clerics urging Iraq to join Iran against the U.S. and Israel, with crowds showing solidarity amid chants.
