Don’t call it a war! It’s an excursion, a vision quest, an unwoke walkabout. Gas prices are rising along with the death toll, and Trump officials say there could be boots on the ground. We spoke about the propaganda and absurdity of the first two weeks of this war on Iran with expert Negar Mortazavi (13:52). 

Then, while missiles fly overhead in Israel, settlers are attacking and killing Palestinians in the West Bank at a terrifying rate. Including American citizens. Journalist Jasper Nathaniel talks about the collaboration between settlers and the Israeli military, how he himself was chased by settlers during an olive harvest last fall, and what we should be demanding of our Democratic leaders (47:20).
