Washington & Jerusalem
Joshua Claar
This will explore the relationship between Israel and American politics and why it has become one of the most consequential and contested issues in Washington. Each episode examines the political, historical, religious, and strategic forces that shape U.S. policy toward Israel. We look at how Democrats, Republicans, American Jews, Evangelicals, activists, lobbying groups, and younger generations are changing the debate. The goal is to move beyond partisan talking points and understand how Israel fits into the larger story of American politics and America’s role in the world.
