1) Zeiad Abbas Shamrouch, Executive Director of the Middle East Children's Alliance and Palestinian refugee, discusses the humanitarian and health crisis for the 2.3 million people of Gaza, his organization's 14-year role in providing potable drinking water to the population, and urgent appeals now being made to the international community to implement an immediate ceasefire, establish a humanitarian corridor to deliver water, food, medical supplies and fuel, and the restoration of water supply lines from Israel into Gaza.
2) Mel Goodman, a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy, author and former CIA analyst, assesses the bloody Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, the deadly retaliatory air strikes and bombing of Gaza by Israel -- and concern that this war could spin out of control and incite a dangerous regional conflict.
3) Susan Greenhalgh, Senior Advisor on Election Security with Free Speech For People talks about Trump attorney Sidney Powell's recent plea deal in Georgia one day before her trial was about to begin, and her concern that Powell's involvement in a multi-state plot to steal voting machine software isn't being investigated by the DOJ or Jack Smith. She warns that the voting machine theft scheme "poses a direct threat to the 2024 election."
4) Rebecca Cadenhead, a senior at Harvard University and a writer and editor at The Harvard Advocate and The Harvard Crimson talks about her recent Nation Magazine article, “One of the Worst Weeks at Harvard I’ve Ever Experienced: The Targeting of Campus Activists -- How a letter from the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee became an international news story.”
