NLR's new issue has an intv w/ #ArielleAngel of #JewishCurrents.

A discussion marred IMO by a stilted, longish attempt by the interviewer to litigate the term genocide wrt #Gaza by contrasting "emotion" vs "precision." (As if 1000s of jurists & numerous govts joining S. Africa v Israel are operating under the throes of "emotion." WTF?) Worth the read tho for *Arielle's* thoughts at least
