Weekly Roundup - 07/15/24

This week: Israel/Palestine fellow Maya Rosen reports on Israel’s escalating attempt to expel the Palestinians of the West Bank village of Umm al-Khair.

In the latest episode of the On The Nose podcast, fellow Jonathan Shamir speaks to scholars Hana Morgenstern, Yaël Mizrahi-Arnaud, and Moshe Behar about the potential of neglected Arab Jewish thought for our political moment.
