Hi everyone Jordan Rokai here my brand new album the Loop is out now. This album is about parenthood

it sort of made me reflect on the way I was

parented and it's made me reflect a lot on my parenting style and all the issues I face

internally as well and how that may come across and project onto my child so it's a story of parenthood and I can't

wait for you to hear it and I really hope you enjoy it.

Now since this all began seven months ago this particular horror I've done my best

to elevate the sorts of voices we need to be hearing and someone who's really struck me in

those of their really incisive thoughtful contributions often when we say

thoughtful when we're talking about the current horror that often means bleak bleak but honest which is where we're currently at and

that's Ory Goldberg who is commentator analyst former academic specialist when it comes

to the Middle East has a PhD in Middle East studies

based out in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.

Ory, first of all for joining us, really appreciate having your voice.

Thank you very much for having me. I've been following your work and

listening to conversations you've had here so it's a privilege to be here thank you.

Well I'm sorry you've been subjected to having to listen to my voice but the focus will be

on your voice today so hopefully that will make up for it.

Actually in terms of just the latest because you know, you

know seven months in what you know essentially has happened is the US has just given a

blank check for Israel to behave as it so wishes with hand-winging

occasionally about what's happened often leaked to certain media outlets, but you know the weapons are carried on, the diplomatic

support has continued.
