I really really like Brad Lander!

1. I have the interview w/ Antonia Hylton, from this morning.

Early on in the interview Brad Lander talks about the incident where Dan Goldman was essentially harassed by owners of a coffee shop he visited.

He also talks about the way he feels Joe Biden was "played" by Netanyahu. I agree with Lander on this point. I think Joe Biden was a very good president, and got some great legislation passed. But there are a few points where he may have meant well....but wasn't infallible.

The best part of the interview (IMHO) was in the second half.
At the 3:30 mark he shares his thoughts on shared humanity and his intention to be a bridge to repairing divisions.
At 4:48 he talks about genocide and how he came to use the term himself. He shares his hope and goals for respect, dignity, and shared safety. He tells a story of Jews in the West Bank who are a "protective presence" to shield Palestinians from harm.
