    What's Law Got to Do with It? w John Reynolds (E18)

    A lot of pro-Palestine activism rests on legal concepts and language – genocide, apartheid, and the illegality of the Israeli occupation.

Critical legal scholar John Reynolds of Maynooth University joins the pod to argue out the contradictions.
