Hi Brian Lehrer here, up next Brian Lehrer weekend.

Three of our favorite segments from the week packaged together for you to listen to on the weekend.

So enjoy and I'll see you back on the radio Monday at 10 a.m. on WNYC and WNYC. Good morning everyone. We'll continue on this show as

best we can to discuss the Israel-Hamass War and the larger Israeli-Palestinian and Israeli-Arab conflicts with multiple

points of view.

As I've said before, we are trying our best to do this in good faith.

I'm sure we fall short, but do try keep commenting and critiquing

listeners as you see fit. Today and Monday we will get two different views of the

Israel-Palestine issue from two different corners of the American left

which have been in conflict with each other to some degree over these issues. On

Monday we will have the New York Democratic Party political consultant and writer for the Nation magazine Alexis Grinnell who wrote in the nation among other things that where the rubber of anti-Zionism meets the road of anti-Semitism is the belief that Israel or a Jewish

state should not exist.

Alexis Grinnell coming up on Monday. Right now we'll get the views of Jeremy Cohen, co-chair of the

Steering Committee of the Democratic Socialist of America, New York City chapter,

an article last month in Politico was headlined DSA is facing an internal reckoning on Israel.

We'll spend the first part of this segment on the DSA in the Middle East and

the second part on other DSA issues in New York and in America.

Same on Monday, we'll also talk with the next Alexis Grinnell

about other New York politics as well as the Middle East then.

Again, Jeremy Cohen is co-chair of the Steering Committee of the Democratic Socialists of America,

New York City chapter.

Jeremy, thanks for coming on.
