Franklin Foer on the Famine in Gaza (Al Franken podcast)

Gaza faces mass starvation as Israel blocks critical food and aid to the region. We’re joined by The Atlantic’s Franklin Foer to discuss his recent piece, “Israel’s Last Chance,” and how the only answer to this atrocity is for Israel to flood Gaza with food.

Foer also discusses the legitimate criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu, while acknowledging that some of the protests can veer into antisemitism, especially on college campuses. Columbia and Harvard are the most prominent universities being attacked by the Trump administration, which is using accusations of antisemitism to withhold federal funding. And while we are seeing Harvard fight back, Foer warns that the end goal for the administration seems to be more government control over universities.
