Orly and Abe break down a few key terms (“Genocide,” “Ceasefire,” “Apartheid,” “Normalize,” and “Zionism”) with professors emeriti Laurel Leff and Sari Nusseibeh, who offer not merely definitions, but discuss the etymology of these terms and how they have shifted over time.

Orly and Abe welcome back the team from The Center for Peace Communications, who return for a second episode, this time alongside the co-Founder of the We Want to Live movement, Moumen al-Natour, who joins us from Gaza City, to discuss the status of humanitarian aid and the desire to move forward in peace.
Orly and Abe speak to Joseph Braude and Ahed Alhendi of The Center for Peace Communications and discuss Whispers in Gaza, a groundbreaking video series, produced by Joseph Braude, that reveals firsthand accounts from Palestinians living under Hamas rule.

But we’ll need a new set of leaders,” was published in the November 2024 issue of The Atlantic.
