Podcast host and author Dan Senor joins Cliff to discuss his new book, The Genius of Israel: The Surprising Resilience of a Divided Nation in a Turbulent World, and Israel's defensive war in Gaza. Among the complexities they ponder:

How does Hamas continue to rain rocket fire across Israel — do they have that many weapons stockpiled, or are they being resupplied?
Is Israel achieving its militarily objectives? And how is it performing on the communications battlefield?
Will Palestinians see this war differently than previous wars and attribute their suffering to Hamas?
Despite the sea of calls for Israel to cease its defensive fire, why are there no calls for Hamas to stop terrorizing Israelis? And where are calls for neighboring Arab countries like Egypt and Jordan to even temporarily take in and shelter Palestinians?
Does the Biden administration understand the role played by the Islamic Republic of Iran?
