On today's Pressing Matters, we continue our deep dive on how this Palestine - Isreal conflict is shaping our lives. We speak to Phyllis Bennis, a writer, activist, and political commentator as well as fellow from the Institute for Policy Studies at Washington DC as we get her take on how the Palestine- Israel conflict is shaped by and also shaping the broader international community. We get her perspective on how this war is testing multi-lateral institutions and whether there will be a rise of militarism all across the globe as a result of this conflict.
