About this listen

Topics:

In this episode, the hosts return from a break to offer an in-depth and provocative discussion on recent global events, particularly the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They critique media coverage, contrasting the attention given to chants against the Israeli Defense Force at a UK music festival with the underreported humanitarian crises in Gaza. The conversation extends to the broader implications of global politics, touching upon historical contexts, American foreign policy, and the influence of authoritarian regimes. The podcast also delves into the potential pitfalls of alliance with the U.S. under the Trump administration and the systemic issues facing American democracy.
