Our guest will be Abdul El-Sayed, a candidate for Senate in Michigan, whose Democratic primary has become the most hotly contested in the nation. El-Sayed has been attacked for saying that both Israel and Hamas have acted in evil ways, for campaigning with Hasan Piker and for calling Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal.

(If El-Sayed’s opponents want to do an interview as well, they’re welcome to be in touch). This conversation will be co-sponsored by Jewish Currents. Join us. This week I’m also hosting a conversation between Professor Omer Bartov, author of the newly released, Israel: What Went Wrong , and columnist Gideon Levy, who in a recent column criticized an interview about the book that Bartov conducted with Haaretz . Unlike our Friday interviews, that conversation won’t include a live audience. We’ll distribute the video to subscribers this week. After this Friday’s call, we’ll take a week off and resume on Friday, May 29. Cited in Today’s Video Tucker Carlson’s interview with Tyler Oliveira. Naftuli Moster, a long-time activist for reforming the ultra-Orthodox school system, condemns Tyler Oliveira.
