Haviv Rettig Gur - The BIG Problem With Trump’s Peace Plan For Gaza
In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Haviv Rettig Gur, one of Israel’s leading political analysts, for an in-depth breakdown of the Trump peace plan, the end of the Gaza war, and the chaotic aftermath now unfolding inside Gaza.With the hostages returned and the ceasefire in place, Haviv explains how Hamas has re-emerged from the tunnels, executing its rivals and reasserting control — while Israel withdraws under intense global scrutiny. He reveals why the Trump administration’s 20-point plan to rebuild Gaza faces collapse, how Qatar and Turkey’s support for Hamas is undermining regional stability, and why the international “stabilisation force” may become a new UNIFIL — protecting terrorists rather than disarming them.We discuss Trump’s strategic play — leveraging Qatari fear, Turkish ambition, and American power to end the war — and whether this marks a genuine peace or simply the start of another chapter in a long regional conflict.All this — the Trump deal, Hamas’s resurgence, Qatar’s influence, American troops in Gaza, and the uncertain new world order emerging in the Middle East.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction01:45 The End of the Gaza War: What's Next?05:22 The Trump Peace Deal Explained09:30 What Happens to Gaza Now?14:10 Why Israel Withdrew — and What It Means18:55 The Return of Hamas: Tunnel Resurgence & Executions24:40 Qatar, Turkey & Hamas’s Continued Influence30:20 The Role of the U.S. in Gaza’s Future34:55 Can Gaza Be Rebuilt Without Hamas?40:40 What the Trump Administration Got Right and Wrong46:10 Will an International Force Stabilise Gaza or Fail Like UNIFIL?51:05 Media Narratives, Lawfare & Global Pressure on Israel58:30 Haviv’s Warning on Iran and the Next War1:04:50 The Psychological Aftermath of October 7th1:10:35 Israel’s Strategic Dilemma: Peace or Perpetual Conflict?1:16:40 Final Thoughts & The Path Forward Hosted on Acast.

Dr Andrew Bostom - “80 Million Slaughtered” The Hidden Truth of Islamic Conquest, Slavery & Jihad
In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Dr. Andrew Bostom, scholar of Islamic history and author of The Legacy of Jihad and The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism, for a sweeping conversation about the true history of jihad and the rise of Islamic antisemitism.Bostom explains how the origins of jihad trace back to Muhammad’s early campaigns in Medina, where religious mission turned to imperial conquest. Drawing from original Islamic sources — he reveals how violence, slavery, and subjugation became sacralised through theology, shaping centuries of conquest from Persia and India to the Middle East and North Africa.We explore the massacres of Jews and Christians, the destruction of Hindu and Buddhist civilisations. The system that humiliated non-Muslims under Islamic rule. Bostom also discusses the connection between early Islamic teachings and modern antisemitism, from the Hadith quoted in Hamas’s charter to Nazi alliances in the 20th century.A detailed, uncompromising look at the forgotten history of jihad, the ideological roots of Islamic imperialism, and how centuries-old doctrines continue to influence modern conflicts across the Middle East and beyond. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0:00 Introduction 1:10 Dr. Andrew Boston and His Work3:09 Origin and Essence of Jihad5:34 Muslim Narrative and Jewish Treachery17:16 Islamic Conquests in Historical Palestine22:29 Expansion of Jihad into Persia and Beyond30:00 Impact of Jihad on Hindu Civilisation40:29 Resistance and Survival of Hindu Civilisation 44:44 Islamic Expansion into Southeast Asia54:20 Modern Anti-Semitism in Islamic Societies 1:10:13 Anti-Semitism in Abraham Accords Countries1:22:49 Theological Jew Hatred in Egypt1:30:22 Challenges in Addressing Anti-Semitism1:37:35 Anti-Semitism in the United States1:45:02 Islamophobia and Misreporting1:53:04 Jihad in the West1:59:26 The Legacy of Islamic Anti-Semitism2:02:07 Final thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Colonel John Spencer - The Best Military Breakdown of The Gaza War You Will Ever Hear
In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Colonel John Spencer, one of the world’s leading experts on urban warfare, to break down the brutal realities of the Israel–Hamas war.Spencer explains how the October 7 invasion was more than a terror attack – it was a coordinated military operation, backed by Iran and linked to Hezbollah. He describes in detail how Hamas used tunnel networks, IEDs, and human shields to wage war inside Gaza, deliberately drawing civilians into the battlefield to create global outrage against Israel.We discuss the IDF’s strategy, from their full-scale ground invasion on October 27 to the unprecedented measures taken to warn and evacuate civilians – even at the cost of prolonging the war. Spencer also reveals why Gaza has become the first modern “tunnel war”, why snipers and booby-trapped homes shaped the conflict, and how Israel managed to hold off threats across multiple fronts, from Hezbollah in Lebanon to Iran itself.This is a rare, insider military analysis of the Gaza war – exposing the tactics, strategies, and propaganda battles that most of the media ignore.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 0:00 Introduction 4:27 Coordination of the October 7 Invasion 8:17 Hezbollah's Role and Hamas' Strategy 21:08 Hamas' Military Capabilities and Tactics35:14 IDF's Response and Strategic Decisions56:56 The Evolution of the Conflict and Hamas' Survival1:05:01 The Impact of Foreign Military Aid 1:11:52 The Role of Egypt and Humanitarian Considerations1:15:25 Vaccination Campaigns and Perceptions in Gaza1:25:19 Humanitarian Aid and Hamas' Control1:41:56 Jordanian and Egyptian Aid Efforts1:45:47 Resistance Within Gaza1:54:20 The Trump Peace Plan 1:59:49 Hamas' Incentives and Challenges 2:10:08 Netanyahu's Leadership During the War2:13:09 Final Thoughts and Future Outlook Hosted on Acast.

Silkie Carlo - Exposing Britain's Digital ID Plan and What’s Coming Next…
In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Silkie Carlo, Director of Big Brother Watch, to discuss Keir Starmer’s announcement of mandatory digital IDs and what it means for the future of Britain’s freedoms.Silkie explains how this scheme, coupled with new laws like the Online Safety Act, risks creating a surveillance state where every transaction, message, and movement can be tracked. From facial recognition on the streets to secretive “non-crime hate incidents,” she warns that Britain is sleepwalking into authoritarianism under the guise of safety and security.We explore the role of tech giants and AI-driven censorship, the government’s appetite for mass data collection, and how ordinary people are being criminalised for speech once protected by law. Silkie argues that privacy is not a luxury — it’s the foundation of a free society.A chilling but vital conversation about digital IDs, mass surveillance, and the urgent fight to reclaim our liberties before it’s too late.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Watch the extended ad-free conversation here https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 0:00 Introduction 1:30 Digital ID and Its Implications 7:04 Arguments Against Digital ID10:06 Historical Context and Previous Attempts 19:27 Surveillance and Control 30:55 Facial Recognition 48:21 Public Opposition and Political Support55:44 Future of Digital IDs and Resistance1:01:34 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Mike Benz - Exposing The EU’s Plot To Destroy Free Speech in America
In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Mike Benz, former State Department official and leading critic of the Censorship Industrial Complex, to expose how governments and NGOs are working hand-in-glove with Big Tech to police free speech across the West.Mike explains how the EU’s Digital Services Act and Britain’s Online Safety Act are being used to impose AI-driven censorship, threatening not only European citizens but also Americans posting from within the US. We explore how these laws function as a “digital censorship regime,” backed by crippling fines and international coordination.From USAID funding NGOs to shut down cross-border political movements, to the Hate Lab in Cardiff feeding real-time speech data to UK police, Benz reveals how censorship has become industrialised — and how Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter briefly broke the system. We also discuss the Biden administration’s role, the UK’s crackdown on comedians and dissidents, and the disturbing reality of AI censorship ‘Death Stars’ designed to silence debate on elections, COVID, climate, and more.A deep dive into the machinery of modern censorship — and what it means for the future of free speech in the West.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction01:32 What Is the Censorship Industrial Complex?06:10 How the Government Outsources Censorship to NGOs11:45 The EU’s Role in Exporting Censorship to the US17:30 AI-Powered Censorship & The Death of Free Speech22:05 Twitter Files & the Exposure of Government Pressure28:40 How “Trust & Safety” Became a Weapon35:15 The Role of the National Security State41:10 Elon Musk vs The Censorship Machine47:35 How the Online Safety Bill Extends UK Censorship53:20 The Global Coordination of Digital Repression1:00:45 How NGOs Control the Narrative Across Borders1:07:12 Mike Benz’s Plan to Dismantle the Censorship Network1:12:40 Final Thoughts & A Warning for the West Hosted on Acast.
