It\'s News Day Tuesday! But first, Sam and Emma speak with\\xa0Peter Beinart, editor-at-large at\\xa0Jewish Currents, author of the\\xa0Beinart Notebook\\xa0on SubStack, and professor at the CUNY School of Journalism, to discuss his recent piece entitled\\xa0"Harvard Is Ignoring Its Own Antisemitism Experts."\\xa0First, Sam and Emma run through updates on an upcoming UN Security Council ceasefire vote, the Huthis\\u2019 attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes, Biden\\u2019s record (low) polling numbers, Google\\u2019s monopolies, Rudy\\u2019s big mouth, Medicaid, Texan fascism, and the EU\\u2019s take-on of Twitter, also touching on the \\u2013 uh\\xa0\\u2013 \\u2018diverse\\u2019 representations of Trump\\u2019s agenda between members of the GOP and the actual Donald Trump himself. Peter Beinart then joins, first tackling the evolution of the discourse around Israel\\u2019s apartheid state over the last two months, before assessing the particular impact of Hamas\\u2019 October 7th attacks in changing that conversation. Continuing, Beinart walks Sam and Emma through the consistent stifling of any non-violence Palestinian resistance movements and how that contrasts with the success of Hamas\\u2019 and Hezbollah\\u2019s militant actions to affirm the necessity of violence in the resistance, also touching on how this violence alongside the constant violence of the Israeli occupation gives little to no room for \\u201clegitimate\\u201d political movements to flourish. Next, they step back to look at the US in particular, exploring how, particularly among more conservative and traditional Americans (including Joe Biden), the direct parallels between the founding myths of the US and Israel bring out a passionate defense of settler-colonialism, and how the recentering of colonization and imperialism in a modern-day setting brings into question narratives of the moral arc of progress. After briefly touching on the ongoing divide in the \\u201cUniversity\\u201d discourse, Beinart, Sam, and Emma look to the statist zionist project in general, exploring the absolute failure of Israel in creating any semblance of a safe space for Jewish people and why the only way to stop a violent anti-apartheid movement is ending apartheid, before they wrap up with an assessment of the Israeli polis, and what the \\u201cleft\\u201d and \\u201cright\\u201d actually mean in Israel.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma run through some highlights from this weekend\\u2019s TPUSA \\u201cAmerica Fest,\\u201d plus John from San Antonio parses through AIPAC-DMFI\\u2019s mass investment against Democratic candidates of color and the future of Biden\\u2019s candidacy. They also parse through updates on the joint planning of January 6th between Trump\\u2019s administration and conservative organizers, Kaitlan Collins continues her evisceration of Ron Johnson, Israeli politicians show off their dearth of knowledge about their own political situation, and Malcolm at Harvard calls in to discuss his perspective on Harvard\\u2019s campus ongoings. They wrap up the fun half with some uplifting content courtesy of America\\u2019s Mayors Rudy Giuliani and Eric Adams, plus, your calls and IMs!
