Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: Can Israel restrain itself?

Why is Ukraine caught in a deadly conflict between two global giants, and who halted the peace agreement that could have averted this crisis? This episode features a riveting discussion with renowned scholar, Professor Jeffrey Sachs, who enlightens us with his extensive knowledge and gives us a glimpse of the ground realities in Ukraine. We explore the grim aftermath of the war, the subtle power plays behind the scenes, and the role of NATO enlargement, all of which have contributed to escalating the situation. Professor Sachs emphasizes the need for the US to negotiate with Putin and take decisive action to end this bloodshed. Shifting gears to another global conflict, we tackle the divisive situation in Israel and Palestine. We, along with Professor Sachs, traverse the complicated history of this conflict and question the unflinching support of the United States for Israel - a stance that has long sparked controversy. We also address the provocative term "apartheid" used in President Carter's book title and its implications. Delving deeper, we examine the potential role of regional players, the feasibility of a two-state solution, and the pressing need for a paradigm shift in US policy. Join us for this enlightening episode that pushes the boundaries of conventional thought and challenges us to reconsider our perspectives on these global issues.
