Everything is collapsing around the world, with Andy Liu
b'
Hello from Philly!\\xa0
This week, Andy joins us for one of Tammy\\u2019s last eps as a host of TTSG. \\U0001f972 After catching up on dog COVID, [6:10] we discuss how China\\u2019s historical self-identification as a vanguard of the Third World has given way, through decades of technological and economic growth, to a more general anti-West position. [29:00] We also reflect on the various pockets of U.S. public opinion on Gaza and Zionism, from Andy\\u2019s college students to our elected officials (and their press secretaries). [53:30] Finally, we debate whether the term \\u201cbarbaric\\u201d has been selectively applied since October 7, along with larger questions of media bias.\\xa0
In this episode, we ask:\\xa0
Where does China\\u2019s relatively strong support of Palestine come from, and is it actually as strong as it seems?\\xa0
How does the movement for a free Palestine fit into the idea of what it means to be a good leftist?\\xa0
Should media outlets rethink when to publish gruesome images of victims of violence?\\xa0
For more, see:\\xa0
* Times coverage of the Biden-Xi Summit (and Blinken\\u2019s reaction to a Biden gaffe)\\xa0
* More on the three young Palestinian American students who were shot in Vermont, the NYU doctor who was fired over his racist social media posts, and the friendship between a Palestinian and a pro-Israel chef in Philly that has soured
* Words from Lydia Polgreen and from Jay on the question of publishing graphic photos of children killed in Gaza\\xa0
