  • Atlanta Jewish leader: Campus protests aren’t 'pro-Palestinian,' they’re 'anti-Israel'

    Atlanta Jewish leader: Campus protests aren’t 'pro-Palestinian,' they’re 'anti-Israel'
    May 1 2024
    The podcast welcomes Dov Wilker, Southern regional director of the American Jewish Committee, who responds to student demonstrations taking place on campuses in Georgia and across the country. Wilker says the protests are not “pro-Palestinian” but rather “anti-Israel,” and he says Israel’s response to the barbaric attacks by Hamas militants on Oct. 7 is appropriate to assure the country is safe from future attacks. But first, the hosts discuss breaking news: U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tells reporters she will “absolutely” call for a vote to remove Mike Johnson from his role as U.S. House speaker “next week.” Then, Georgia Supreme Court Justice Andrew Pinson talks with the hosts about his race to retain his seat on the state’s high court. He responds to questions about why he chose not to participate in the Atlanta Press Club debate with his opponent John Barrow.

Solid, honest news.

I simply love Bill Nigut and his team! They bring really good news that's based on fact. They break down Georgia, National and International issues so that ordinary people can digest it.
