In the episode, Josh Paul discusses what led to his resignation from the State Department, what he witnessed from inside the U.S. government, and why he believes the current debate over Israel and Palestine is fundamentally a political problem rather than a policy problem.
He explains the mission behind A New Policy, the advocacy organization he co-founded. He also shares details about the U.S.-Israel Military Merger within the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and the Intelligence Authorization Act, and discusses how they could impact U.S.-Israel integration.
Josh Paul also talks about growing public opposition to unconditional military aid, shifting political dynamics in Washington, tensions between U.S. and Israeli interests regarding Iran, the expansion of executive power, and the impact of Israel-Palestine policy on civil liberties and free speech in America.
