Hot Take: The Events in Gaza (May 20, 2018)

This week we have a raw and un-edited discussion on the recent horrifying events in Gaza. Grace is going to be away for a number of days, so we recorded this one early (the evening of Tuesday, May 15th). This means that we run a greater-than-usual risk of our comments being overtaken by events as they unfold, but so be it.

I will get this one up early (and there won’t be a separate episode released on Sunday the 20th).
