"The overwhelming will of the world is for a state of Palestine now… I want it to be imposed on Israel, pure and simple." Jeffrey Sachs joins Real Talk to discuss Israel’s genocide in Gaza, America’s complicity, and why he believes the UN still offers a hope for peace. The renowned economist and public policy analyst explains why Israel “does not speak for me” as a Jew, the danger of conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism, and why he’s pushing for Palestinian statehood to be imposed through international law. Real Talk is hosted by Mohamed Hashem.
