    Morality of Israel and Gaza with Karen Stohr

    In this episode, I speak with Karen Stohr about issues of ethics and morality involved in Hamas' terrorist attacks on Israeli citizens and Israel's retaliation. We discuss a variety of topics and questions in the abstract (or via other examples) to zoom away from the current crisis in order to discuss larger principles. Karen is a professor of metaphysics and moral philosophy at Georgetown University. Among other books, she has written Choosing Freedom: A Kantian Guide for Life, which I loved.    Here are some websites and podcasts Karen recommends: Elucidations podcast Unmuted podcast War (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Why We Argue | Humility & Conviction in Public Life (uconn.edu)
