Another Take: Is Ireland changing the consensus on Israel-Palestine?
Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on June 4, 2021. None of the references from that time have been changed.

Shelley Deane, political analyst
Omar Baddar, Palestinian-American political analyst
