I discovered this podcast recently and it’s thoughtful approach to a terrible topic gives me hope for humanity. Ahmed Moor is such a empathetic but also tough interviewer— it’s really unusual in the world of political podcasts. Although the podcast focuses on Palestinian issues there’s a broadening of the lens to include the human experience in a way that I find quite profound. It’s hard to describe but I really appreciate it.

I just wanted to share a take on this issue I heard Mouin Rabbinni provide at a Busboys and Poets talk last October; he said that many military campaig... more
