Episode notes

This chapter discusses an incident where a speaker's fellowship from Harvard's Kennedy School was initially revoked due to comments about Israel, but after public outcry, the decision was reversed. The chapter also covers the speaker's organization's position on the Israeli government and violations of international humanitarian law in Gaza.

Cut off from water and power and recovering from a communications blackout, Gaza is plunged deeper into crisis. It’s not just a humanitarian problem, says leading human rights attorney Kenneth Roth — it’s a violation of international law.

This episode was produced by Haleema Shah and Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Amina Al-Sadi and Miranda Kennedy, fact-checked by Serena Solin and Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Noel King.
