  • Understandable and Informative

    I found this podcast relatively easy for the layman to process but I do wish that Mark Hannah had explained a few of the buzz words that the author had used. I would greatly recommend for someone who wants to know more details of a few important political topics and theories.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 9: A Military Without Rival
Q: Why are efforts to make the military more inclusive often met with anxiety and backlash?
Max Boot suggests it challenges traditional notions of who a soldier is, and the anxiety stems from long-standing societal norms regarding gender and sexuality.
The Case Against Israel: South Africa's Genocide Suit at the World Court
Q: How does this case and the ruling have more teeth, thanks to the block of unaligned countries supporting it?
While there is skepticism, there is hope that the support from unaligned countries may pressure Israel more effectively than in the past.
The Case Against Israel: South Africa's Genocide Suit at the World Court
Q: What could Israel learn from South Africa's experience from your experience in the 1990s?
The need for figures with great moral authority to unite different sides and bring about reconciliation, which currently seems very far off for Israel and Palestine.
The Case Against Israel: South Africa's Genocide Suit at the World Court
Q: Why was it that South Africa and not another country brought this case against Israel?
South Africa has been deeply invested in the plight of the Palestinians for a long time, showing solidarity with them. There is also a historical connection to their own experience with apartheid, which adds moral authority to their case.
Bonus Episode: Israel’s Complicated Relationship with Human Rights
Q: What happens if there is little or no compliance with these provisional measures?
There could be a significant blow to both international law's legitimacy and US credibility in promoting human rights standards.
