More than 30,000 Palestinian protestors gathered near the Gaza-Israel border on Friday, March 30, for the “March of Return,” marking the beginning of a Hamas-led six-week demonstration calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. As expected, the protests continued this past weekend with estimates of 20,000 protesters.
In this week’s episode, we delved into CIA Director Mike Pompeo’s qualifications to serve as Secretary of State, and examined the future of the Iran nuclear deal.
The Cambridge Massachusetts City Council is scheduled to consider a resolution that calls for a boycott of Hewlett Packard (HP).
