"I don't think we've found the road to peace but we've found the road to stopping a lot of the violence for now."

A reprieve in Gaza as Israel offers an additional day of peace for every ten hostages released by Hamas. In such a fraught and complex situation, we ask this week how to separate criticism of Israel's actions from antisemitism. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has celebrated his 81st birthday this week and again raised the question of how old is too old to be running for president. Also discussing the latest on Trump, George Santos, a fresh attack on voting rights, DACA, and what we're thankful for this Thanksgiving.
