Bad Faith - Episode 340 Promo – Our Task for 2024 (w/ Nathan J. Robinson)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast    Current Affairs founder, author, and famously accurate predictor of the 2016 election Nathan J. Robinson returns to Bad Faith to weigh in on the state of the 2024 race, how he predicted John Fetterman's fall, & what he thinks will happen in November. Brie and Nathan spar on the issue of political litmus tests and whether Brie should take the W on Gaza becoming a redline for voters rather than interrogating why it was that withholding votes from Biden was a much more radical proposition back in 2016 or 2020. Last election Bad Faith famously debated Noam Chomsky on the subject of whether the threat of Trump compelled leftists to vote blue no matter who in 2020. Would he change his mind in 2024 in light of the genocide in Gaza?

Start the Week - War crimes justice

The legal framework to prosecute war crimes and prohibit the use of ‘aggressive war’ came out of the international war crimes tribunals after WWII – in Germany and Japan. In Judgement at Tokyo the academic and writer Gary J. Bass retells the dramatic courtroom battles as Japan’s militaristic leaders were held accountable for their crimes. With prosecutors and judges drawn from eleven different Allied countries tensions flared, and justice in the Asia Pacific played out amidst the start of the Cold War, China's descent into civil war, and the end of the European empires.

The political philosopher Hannah Arendt witnessed the end of the trial of the Nazi Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem in 1963, coining the phrase ‘the banality of evil’ – a term that is often mistakenly believed to mean that evil had become ordinary. In We Are Free To Change The World, the writer Lyndsey Stonebridge explores Arendt’s writings on power and terror, love and justice, and their relevance in today’s uncertain times.

As the world grows increasingly turbulent war crimes justice is needed more than ever, but it appears to be failing. Since the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands opened in 2002 it has jailed just five war criminals. The journalist and war reporter Chris Stephen looks back at its history and examines alternative options in The Future of War Crimes Justice.

NBN Book of the Day - On Zionism and the Left: A Discussion with Author and Cultural Critic Susie Linfield

“How has it come to this? How has ‘Zionist’…become the dirtiest word to the international Left?” Susie Linfield poses that ripe question at the outset of her book, The Lions’ Den: Zionism and the Left from Hannah Arendt to Noam Chomsky (Yale University Press, 2019). In the podcast, our discussion focuses on three prominent figures examined in The Lions’ Den: Isaac Deutscher, I.F. Stone, and Fred Halliday. And we explore present-day sentiments about Zionism among the Left amid the Gaza-Israel conflict. What’s needed in thinking about Zionism and about Israel, Linfield asserts in the conclusion to her provocative and timely book, is “realism,” not “pathology.”

Veteran journalist Paul Starobin is a former Moscow bureau chief for Business Week and a former contributing editor of The Atlantic. He has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and many other publications. His latest book, Putin’s Exiles: Their Fight for a Better Russia (Columbia Global Reports) will be published in January.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Six-Star General (Redux)

If you look at the list of officer ranks in the United States armed forces, there are ten ranks listed that are held today. They go from Second Lieutenant all the way up to the rank of General, which is the four-star variant of the rank. 

There is a rank above general, a five-star general, which hasn’t been awarded in 70 years. Most people are familiar with these generals as having served in WWII. 

However, there is still one more rank above that of a five-star general in the United States Military. 

Find out more about this rank and the two men who have been awarded it on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
