An Alternative to Invading Gaza
Peter Beinart is joined by guests will be Ofer Cassif and Iyad El-Baghdadi. Ofer is a Jewish member of the Knesset from the largely Palestinian Hadash party. He was recently suspended for 45 days for criticizing Israel’s attacks in Gaza. Iyad is a Palestinian writer based in Norway. He’s one of the best analysts of Palestinian and regional politics I know. We’ll discuss the mounting repression inside Israel, the ground invasion of Gaza, and the prospects for a regional war. Ofer and Iyad are not only brilliant analysts. They also courageously affirm the humanity of people on both sides of the Jewish-Palestinian divide. We could use more of that these days.

End the Persecution of Israel’s Arab Citizens
Since the start of the war that was triggered by the horrific massacre in communities near the border with the Gaza Strip, Israel’s Arab citizens have been in the eye of the storm. Their complex identity makes them immediate suspects in the eyes of many Jews and exposes them to manifestations of racism and a thirst for vengeance.
