From New York, this is Democracy Now.

In the search for solutions, we must not make the problem worse.

It is vital to stay true to the bedrock of international law.

It is essential to avoid any form of ethnic cleansing.

The UN Secretary General and other world leaders have condemned President Trump's call for the United

States to take over Gaza and displace the entire Palestinian population.

We'll speak to the Palestinian-American analyst Omar Bader, and then Peter Beinart, author

of the new book, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza, A Reckoning.

When I look at what's happened to Gaza, where a state that speaks in the name of the Jewish

people, using American weapons with the support of the organized American Jewish community,

has destroyed an entire society. And now elements of that American Jewish community are supporting the American president in a call for mass ethnic cleansing.

It seems to me that something has gone fundamentally wrong in Jewish public discourse.

Then, as protests continue across the United States, over President Trump and Elon Musk's attempts to

dismantle the federal government.

We'll look at the administration's attacks on the Department of Education.

Let's call President Trump's plan to abolish the Department of Education exactly what it is, an extremist power grab to dismantle

public schools and enforce ideological conformity.

We'll speak to Seattle educator Jesse Hagopian, author of Teach Truth, The Struggle for

Anti-Racist Education.

All that and more coming up.
