LAW AND DISORDER DECEMBER 30, 2024
Co-hosts Heidi Boghosian and Stephen Rohde speak with two plaintiffs Seth Connolly and Maria Barakat from the group Taxpayers Against Genocide. The group brought a class action lawsuit against California Congress members Mike Thompson and Jared Huffman. The lawsuit alleges that the representatives misused their authority by approving $26.38 billion in military aid to Israel, despite evidence that these funds contribute to ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Hosts are then joined by Professor Majorie Feld author the recent book titled The Threshold of Dissent: A History of American Jewish Critics of Zionism. The interview explores how the suppression of dissent on college campuses today has historic precedent in earlier efforts to silence opposition to Israel's militaristic theocracy.
