Israeli Thinking
We talked to Sam Shoman, a Palestinian from the West Bank who has worked in Israel and is capable of seeing both sides, to explore the nuance and intricacies of this complex narrative. More of a discussion and a learning exercise, than a debate, this was a fantastic opportunity to hear an all too rarely told story. Check out his book here (amazon.co.uk/Israel-Palestine-Who-Right-Shoman-ebook/dp/B0D7SMJNGP?ref_=ast_author_dp) .
The Israeli occupation of Palestine has been the longest military engagement in Modern History. The Palestinians have received more financial aid than any group in history (larger per capita than the Marshall plan). There's no shortage of news coverage nor opinions on Israel, Palestine, Zionism, Anti-Semitism, and Islamophobia.

We talk to two Americans (including Connor from the Prove Me Wrong, Please podcast) who have lived in China for several years.

However, Becs, my favorite and most charming Feminist friend was willing to come on for another round, and persuade me otherwise.

Activists from Hong Kong to the Uyghurs beg to differ. The Belt and Road Initiative, the Silk Road 2.0, worldwide trade deals, and buying up of foreign debt in return for massive construction partnerships make for a aggressively growing China. Meanwhile for stalling economies, with plans only until the next election, Democracy appears less and less appealing. Is China destined to dominate, and how worried should we be about that?Next Generation Nuclear Power and BeyondBeyond Binary Thinking2021-01-22 | Nuclear Energy is deeply misunderstood, shrouded in technical jargon, and all the secrecy you'd expect from Cold War weapon technology.

We talk to PeteyVid's Craig Stadler about alternatives, how David takes on Godzilla, why song covers get taken down quicker than ISIS beheadings, and whether regulation will hurt the big monopolies, or help them. www.peteyvid.comPolish Protests: What Is Going On?Beyond Binary Thinking2020-10-30 | Content Warning: Abortion, Blasphemy, and Revolution.
