Danny and Derek welcome Eric Alterman, CUNY distinguished professor of English and Journalism at Brooklyn College, to discuss the history of America’s relationship with Israel. They touch on Eric’s own story, the evolution of the Israeli and the Arab in the American Jewish imagination, the inflection points of the 1967 war and the 1982 Lebanon invasion, the Left’s history with Zionism, and more.
