This week Madhvi has been reading
This week Madhvi has been reading this great article in the New Yorker (can you tell we’ve subscribed again and are constantly trying to keep up with the great journalism) on how prominent liberal Zionist Peter Beinart changed his stance on Palestine . As we mentioned in this week’s podcast, there seems to be a general switching of opinion on Palestine, and this is a great example of that. Read the article here.
This week Rina has been watching
This week Rina started watching “Too Hot To Handle” It so silly. It’s really silly and will make you want to pull your hair out. But it is distracting and maybe that is what we need right now. Watch it on Netflix.
