Col. Wilkerson on Israel-Gaza and the war in Ukraine

In this episode of The Source, our senior editor Zain Raza returns to interview Lawrence Wilkerson, retired Army colonel and former chief of staff to Colin Powell, on the latest developments surrounding Gaza and Ukraine. We assess the Hamas attack on October 7th and Israel's response to it and whether it constitutes genocide. We examine Israel's objectives in Gaza and explore why the US continues to support it unconditionally. Finally, we assess why support for Ukraine is waning in the United States and whether Europe alone, led by Germany, can lead Ukraine to victory.Show more
