In this week’s Reporters Roundtable podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward reporter Nathan Guttman to discuss Israel’s relationship with guns and if it could serve as a model for the US. Then, Deputy Culture Editor Naomi Zeveloff stops by to discuss why a recent study comparing Palestinian and Israeli textbooks is so controversial.
