Description

I thought I’d posted this last night before going to bed, but it seems I didn’t. I just found it in my draft folder. Sorry, !

In lieu of our usual Critical Conditions podcast, we decided to post this (edited) video of last Sunday’s ME201 discussion group, instead. Dan was the guest of honor, and we talked about many things: The mystery of Israel’s strike on Doha; why it’s so hard to figure out what happened; Israeli internal politics; whether Netanyahu really is so cynical that he would extend the war needlessly solely to stay in power; journalism and the fog of war; the business model for journalism since the rise of the Internet; why so much journalism is so superficial; and more.

Enjoy. Here’s an audio-only version, too, for those of you who would prefer just to listen:
