Did you know that the DOD has decided to order troops to make their own masks? Yes, we’ve applied just-in-time delivery to live-saving medical equipment, and now the true tactical tailors will have their time to shine: by making masks out of old brown t-shirts, 550 cord, and 100 mph tape.

Ben's an actor based in New York City, and he's involved with left-wing Jewish activism in the US, a politics he came to after growing up Jewish with one Israeli parent and one American one. They talked about Israel's relationship to militarism, what Zionism and anti-Zionism actually mean, and what sorts of fault lines exist in the Jewish experience in the US.
