1) Dr. James J. Zogby, co-founder and president of the Arab American Institute, and Director of Zogby Research Services, a firm that has conducted groundbreaking surveys across the Middle East, discusses the humanitarian catastrophe for the 2.3 million people of Gaza where more some 10,000 Palestinians have been killed, including more than 4,000 children, amid Israel's retaliatory air strikes that followed Hamas' October 7th terrorist attack that killed 1,400 Israel men, women and children. Dr. Zogby will talk about his article, "Debunking “All Palestinians are Hamas," and how this unfolding carnage is being perceived across the Arab world.

2) Liv Kunins-Berkowitz, Media Coordinator with Jewish Voice for Peace talks about her group's views on the current Israel-Hamas war, the US role in the conflict, and JVP's historic protest actions demanding a ceasefire in Israel's retaliatory bombing campaign that has killed some 10,000 Gaza civilians.

3) Jeff Schuhrke, Assistant Professor at the Harry Van Arsdale Jr. School of Labor Studies at SUNY Empire State College, New York City talks about the important issues covered in his recent In These Times magazine article, "Here’s What UAW Workers Won in a “Historic” TA After Striking at Ford," the later agreements with Stellantis and GM, and the larger impact of the UAW strike's success on the U.S. labor movement.

4) Kiera Butler, Senior Editor at Mother Jones Magazine discusses the important issues examined in her new Mother Jones article, "The Far Right Has a New Big Lie: Claiming to Support Palestine," and other ways in which the Republican Party and America's rightwing extremist movements are attempting to exploit divisions among Democrats and progressive activists to advance their own toxic agenda.
