Season 6 Episode 36: Debunking the Many Bad Arguments Made By Israel’s Apologists in the West

On the one-year anniversary of Hamas's atrocities on October 7th, which have been used as a pretext for unfathomably worse atrocities for the last year, Ben Burgis does an on-air version of his lecture "Debunking the Many Bad Arguments Made By Israel’s Apologists in the West" which he gave as a teach-in at the encampment at Princeton last April, and before that as a presentation to Metro Detroit DSA & Wayne State University YDSA. (Sadly, we couldn't line up anyone to record either of those!) Before that, Ben and the crew talk about the VP debate, the successful strike that shut down ports across the East Coast last week (and the shameful failure of many liberals to support it), and a petition to posthumously exonerate Ethel Rosenberg. In the postgame for patrons, they watch Ta-Nehesi Coates being grilled on CBS.The launch event for Ben's pamphlet "Four Essays on Palestine" is going to be in October 22nd at 7:30 PM in Los Angeles (at Lawless Brewing Co. in North Hollywood) w/a panel in the beer garden with Ben, Jason Myles and Ana Kasparian.
