A candid roundtable on the “two wars”: the global narrative vs. on-the-ground realities in Gaza, and how it fuels rising antisemitism and polarized U.S. politics—from New York’s mayoral debate and campus unrest to media figures on the far left and right. The panel critiques policies tied to public safety and academic freedom, calls out conspiracy rhetoric, and spotlights human rights abuses in Iran. Heroes and “scumbags” of the week cap a plea for moral clarity and the return of Israeli hostages.
