He served for 16 years in the British Army, leaving the Parachute Regiment with the rank of Major. He completed 3 tours in Afghanistan including one attached to US Army Special Forces, as well as further tours of Bosnia, Northern Ireland and the Middle East. He was a senior lecturer at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, teaching in the War Studies and Behavioural Science departments.

While the Middle East seems to be in something of a holding pattern right now, the rhetoric of the Islamic forces in both Gaza and Iran continues to ramp up. Propaganda and posturing abound as their leaders scramble to show power and threat, as they are increasingly disemboweled by Israel and the United States. Top of their list of priorities: discredit and delegitimize Israel on the world stage. Sadly, that soft war is the one they continue to win.In this live conversation, Shana Meyerson talks about the double talk coming out of the mouths of Hamas and IRGC leaders.
