We'll learn how the Jay Treaty has had such a significant impact on society.According to the Jay Treaty, which
inconsistency abroad. is there change, is there enough change? when you stand on the democratic party right now one comes to foreign policy debates? there s a lot of change at the grassroots. a lot less in washington. and the question is whether those grassroots will create the kind of moral movement that we ve seen in other moments in american history. the apartheid movement, for instance. remember, the u.s. was a very strong backer off south africa, the apartheid government of south africa for a long time. the u.s. called the african national congress a terrorist organization, for many, many, many years. but it s a grassroots efforts by americans who saw that we were implicated in an injustice. we re further along, i think, vis-à-vis that on yemen, and we are on israel and palestine. but whenever people go to see for themselves what palestinian life is like under israeli control in the west bank, life without any basic rights, for more than 50 years, they come back asking the same
to do things that violate the exact same principles, in moral principles, between four so strongly about in ukraine. do you think, peter, that there s any sign of positive change? because you and i have discussed stuff like this for many years now. we ve written about it. do you think things are changing, not just because of ukraine, but they re changing because of that democratic on party in congress. you have members of the squat talking much more openly about things like the occupation of the west bank, issues like selling arms to saudi arabia. you have the democratic party voter base, according to the polls, is much more interested in things you ve been talking about like human rights, and inconsistency abroad. is there change, is there enough change? where you stand on the democratic party right now one comes to foreign policy debates? there s a lot of change at the grassroots. a lot less in washington. and the question is whether those grassroots will create the kind of moral
