Two Jacks Episode 50ish - The rise and rise of Anti-Semitism
Manage episode 382051331 series 2807868
Editors note: The upload for Episode 49 failed and I didn't notice till ages later - so yes, this is the episode after 49. But it's not 50. That's the one before 49. It makes total sense. Kinda. Not really. Anyway, double celebration. Yay!
The Two Jacks discuss the rise of anti-Semitism in the wake of the Hamas strike and IDF retaliation in Gaza. Once the ugly business of the hard right, anti-Semitism is now flourishing on the left, now including some within the progressive left.
We track the stories of the IDF's ground war in Gaza and ponder where it might end.
Meanwhile in the US, the Trumps are holding a family reunion in the witness box in a courtroom in NYC. The legal battles continue as the SCOTUS is set to hand down judgment on a T-shirt manufacturer who is mocking Donald Trump's physique. Think tiny hands, listeners. How will the Trump appointees on the SCOTUS regard the derision over the presidential penis? First Amendment right or a damned unforgiveable insult? We will have to wait and see.
In the UK, the Covid Inquiry has poured a bucket on Boris Johnson who regarded the arrival of a pandemic as a damned impertinence.
In sport, we preview the Melbourne Cup with JTI giving some hot tips as South Africa shapes up for not one but two world cups.
