It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Jasper Nathaniel, writer of the Infinite Jaz newsletter on SubStack, to discuss his recent piece in The Drift magazine entitled "In Ruins​: Archaeological Warfare in the West Bank." First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the GOP's continuing struggle to get a continuing resolution, Pelosi blocking AOC's run for Oversight chair, the Senate's National Defense Authorization Act, Ukraine's bombing of Russia's chemical weapons chief, TikTok's Supreme Court fight, Trump's EV fight, RFK's meeting with Senators, Trudeau's shakey administration, US wealth inequality, and Josh Hawley's CTC for the middle- and upper-classes, before diving a little deeper into Nancy Pelosi's (notably no longer a member of party leadership) torpedoing of AOC's bid to be Dem chair on the Congressional Oversight Committee, and touching on Trump's attempt to run cover for his health and safety-related administrative choices and their rabid anti-vax beliefs. Jasper Nathaniel then joins, diving right into the concept of “Judea and Samaria” that has been advanced recently by American zionists like Bill Clinton and Mike Huckabee, unpacking its deep history as the zionist term for the West Bank, and how that relates to a rapidly progressing agenda of Israeli annexation of the Palestinian West Bank, with Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotricht recent transfer of power over the West Bank away from civil authority, and his use of antiquity law to expand Israeli control over the region. Stepping back, Nathaniel walks Sam and Emma through the historical relationship between archeology and the zionist colonization of Palestine, beginning with the British surveying of the region whilst under their control at the turn of the century, where they grounded their research within biblical terms, directly assigning any discoveries to Biblical passages and civilizations, a tactic directly picked up on by the burgeoning Zionist movement at the time, and employed as a hard science as they pushed their agenda of creating “facts on the ground” to legitimize their right to the land Palestinian had lived on for generations. Expanding on this story, Jasper tackles the continued abuse of archeology by the Zionist regime over the following few decades, with the 1967 border agreement immediately coming under violation by Israeli archeologists, before coming back to the present to unpack Israel's utterly destructive approach to the genocide of Gaza in contrast with their slow, technocratic approach to slowly revoking the autonomy of various regions in the West Bank, tackling how this authority is grounded in much of the West Bank's presence on supposedly “protected” archeological sites. Looking to the supposed “authority” that grounds Israel's ongoing annexation of the West Bank, Nathaniel touches on the transferring of West Bank management from Israel's Civil authority to their Archeological authority, before wrapping up with an extensive conversation on the overwhelming ubiquity – and banality – of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, and the future of the project for Palestinian liberation under a second Trump Administration. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma tackle Trump's recent comments on the relationship between vaccines and autism (and Fox's unsurprising response), and watch CNN's Michael Smerconish bemoan the lack of a public vigil for the recently murdered CEO of UnitedHealthcare, contrasting him with folks like John Lennon, George Floyd, and the victims of Kyle Rittenhouse. Mark Robinson reclaims the “Minisoldr” handle, MAGA freaks out over drone sightings, and Tim Pool has a boot to lick over Emma and Kyle Kulinski's Joe Rogan comments, plus, your calls and IMs!
