The fragile ceasefire negotiated between Israel and Hamas hasn’t ended the violence, but it has
for now lessened it. But even if the ceasefire holds, the need for a political solution to
Palestinian dispossession remains. To discuss the issue of accountability, I spoke to Yousef
Munayyer, who is the head of the Palestine/Israel Program and Senior Fellow at Arab Center
Washington DC. We talked about how the shocking events of the last two years have shifted
global public opinion, including in the United States. Both parties are heading towards a long-
delayed debate about the value of the US/Israel relation.

Republicans are plummeting in the polls in the lead-up to the midterm thanks to the unpopularity of the Iran War and the attendant inflation. As my Nation colleague Chris Lehmann has noted, in an attempt to shore up their fracturing base, the GOP has decided to label all Democrats as communist, a weird rhetorical move now being made by Donald Trump and his supporters. I talk to Chris about this strange and dangerous development.
