Welp, They Got Their War on Iran

This week on The Left Unsaid, we skip the burgers and throw something juicier on the grill: the imperial myth machine.

It’s a Father’s Day edition, so naturally we’re spending it exactly how Dad likes—tearing into bipartisan war propaganda and the elite penchant for fascist-adjacent pageantry.

Finn and Patrick debrief from their trip to DC where The Left Unsaid crew filmed CodePink giving Congress hell and glimpsed Trump’s weak military cosplay.

We then returned home to experience the odd pageantry of surburban liberal resistance at our local “No Kings” protest, with its awkward fusion of patriotic aesthetics and moral outrage.

Also:

• the history and latest stage of Israel’s illegal war on Iran, praised as “stunning” by the mainstream media.
• the long history of Israeli fear-mongering about Iranian nukes (Bibi still crying wolf after 33 years).
• the West’s grotesque double standards.
• why the Democrats remain stuck in their usual position: verbally “concerned” while materially complicit.
• plus the rapid rise of Zohran Mamdani’s insurgent NYC mayoral campaign.

This Father's Day, we'll recommmend 2 books:

1. From Zohran's dad, the seminal Good Muslim, Bad Muslim,
2. and Sim Kern’s Genocide Bad, about Israeli propaganda and how to answer it.
