Initial Impressions, Anti-Semitism, and Lowbrow Analysis

After yet another week of chaotic travel, Jonah can’t resist recording a Ruminant to settle his addled mind. Coming to you from the seas of Southern Italy, today’s offering is marginally less excessive than usual, as Jonah focuses his ornery energy on the Israel-Gaza war and how America’s political parties are reacting to it. Other, equally grim topics include the limits of the United Nations, the state of the Ukraine conflict, and Russian collaboration with Iran.

Show Notes:

- The Wall Street Journal on potential Iran support for Hamas

- The Trotskyite origins of postcolonial theory

- President Biden's Oval Office address on Ukraine and Israel
