Of what significance is UAW's support of a ceasefire in Gaza in light of this endorsement, and how should a left that is invested in the power of unions to influence politics in a progressive direction be feeling about an endorsement that seems to come without any foreign policy concessions from the Biden administration? Also, Brie and Bill discuss writing political fiction, and the prospect of a Civil-War-style standoff at the Texas border.

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?

Senior Fellow for Aviation and Travel at the American Economic Liberties Project and former Editor at Consumer Reports Bill McGee returns to Bad Faith to weigh in on the Alaska Airlines flight whose emergency door blew off mid-flight. Is it a labor issue, a corporate greed issue, an anti-trust issue, or all three? What role did Nikki Haley play in lowering safety and oversight standards? And how would Bill respond to libertarian claims that too much FAA regulation is the real problem?

Will growing public solidarity for Palestine on the international stage finally lead to accountability for Israel and the west?

Norman Finkelstein is back to weigh in on billionaire Bill Ackman's attack on academic freedom and how it backfired colossally with accusations that his own wife committed worse plagiarism than Claudine Gay, whom he fought to oust from Harvard because she didn't crack down hard enough on anti-Zionist speech. The conversation broadens out into a two hour discourse on the history of academic freedom, whether "from the river to the sea" is a productive slogan, and more.

Palestinian-American author, opinion columnist, and Distinguished Public Policy Fellow at the American University in Beirut Rami Khouri joins Bad Faith to provide much needed background on how and why Arab nations are realigning in response to continued Israeli aggression in Gaza. Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and others are part of what Khouri describes as an axis of resistance, but what is motivating these disparate groups, how do the last seven decades of conflict between Israel and its neighbors inform regional attitudes, and what is the potential for a broader regional war? Also, Khouri weighs in on the State Department's response to South Africa's petition for the International Court of Justice to charge Israel with genocide, and the Biden administration's response to Ben-Gvir & Smotritch's calls for ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Finally, he talks about the Nakba affected his own family, and how his Arab Israeli loved ones in Nazareth are experiencing post-10/7 Israel.

For the second hour, Brie and Professor Magid have a constructive debate about whether the left has sufficiently condemned Hamas’s actions on 10/7, and whether a failure to do so adequately is alienating potential Jewish allies.

Jewish Currents Editor-at-Large & Professor of Journalism and Political Science at CUNY Peter Beinart joins Bad Faith to discuss his latest piece in which he takes on the media frenzy around allegations of Ivy League antisemitism, and asks why none of Harvard’s Israel experts have been invited to join the group convened to investigate said claims. Is it because none of them would cosign overly expansive definitions of antisemitism? The pair also examines Beinart’s own journey away from Zionism toward what he describes as “cultural Zionism” and how the siege on Gaza is rapidly changing how Israel is perceived within the Jewish community.
