Weekly Roundup - 09/30/24

This week: News editor Aparna Gopalan examines the student encampment movement from last spring and argues for a “long-haul” protest to achieve divestment.

In our latest podcast episode, recorded live at Jewish Currents’s recent daylong event as a collaboration between On the Nose and The Dig, host Daniel Denvir speaks with scholars Aslı Bâli and Aziz Rana about left internationalism, the Third Worldism movement, and current Palestine solidarity work.

And in a series of dispatches from our new Florida issue, eight activists reflect on the experience of organizing in Governor Ron DeSantis’s far-right stronghold.

Following Israel’s assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday, and escalating attacks in Lebanon that have killed more than 1,000 people in the last ten days alone, we are sharing an episode of On the Nose from last month, featuring a conversation between senior reporter Alex Kane, author and analyst Trita Parsi, and scholar Karim Makdisi about the escalating regional war in the Middle East.
