The chapter discusses the contradiction between significant portions of the general public and the political class, particularly within the Democratic Party. The speaker focuses on the shifting public opinion on Israel and Palestine and criticizes the party's elected officials for being out of touch. They also compare this situation to similar patterns in Europe.
Featuring Richard Seymour on the global politics of the Palestinian struggle and Israel's war on Gaza. The first of a two-part interview.
