## Resource

Vanessa Beeley is a British journalist who has lived in the Levant for many years. She lived in Syria and was forced to flee when the Assad government was overthrown, and now lives in Lebanon, from where she does all her reporting on what's happening — essentially — between Israel and its neighbours. After all, everything there is about Zionism and the Greater Israel agenda, coupled with some regions pushing back, known as the 'axis of resistance'. One such region is Iran. The short answer is: no, Israel and Iran are not secretly best buddies. They are not 'in on it', as Vanessa explains in this conversation with me. 📺 The video episode is available on UK Column's YouTube channel.
