Special - The Palestine Exception w/ Josh Rushing

In a follow-up to our special on students' pro-Palestine organizing, Danny speaks with Josh Rushing, founding member of Al Jazeera English and senior correspondent for its program Fault Lines, about the crackdown on Palestine advocacy on campuses since October 7 and what it means for academic freedom. They discuss his Fault Lines documentary on the subject, post-2016 university organizing, dubious charges of “anti-Semitism”, why Israel is so focused on college demonstrations, the myriad ways that “the Palestine exception” is initiated, and more.
