As heartbreaking images of starving children and desperate families emerge from Gaza, pressure is mounting on U.S. politicians — especially Democrats — to reassess America's relationship with Israel. Tommy Vietor sits down with Mehdi Hasan, founder of @zeteo and Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of J Street, to tackle some of the toughest questions facing the Democratic Party: Should the U.S. cut off military aid to Israel? Should Democrats support Palestinian statehood? And can the party hold together a coalition that includes both progressive critics of Israel and liberal Zionists?

At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.
