The brothers welcome legal scholar Noura Erekat to the show to discuss how the Gaza genocide has threatened to end the "rules-based international order;" the failure of international legal institutions to take meaningful action to stop the genocide; the collapse of Israel's standing and reputation in Western societies; and how to retain "infallible optimism" despite the most disturbing assessments of the status quo.
