Scott is joined by Jeremy Hammond to talk about the war in Gaza. They discuss Israel’s strategy of making Gaza uninhabitable and look at the relevant history that has led to this moment. They also discuss the proper language to use when talking about the conflict. Hammond argues that what Israel is currently doing meets the definition of a genocide and that people shouldn’t shy away from using that word.
