Show Notes Chapter Markers

GETTING INTO GOOD TROUBLE | Freshman Podcast 
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was recently indicted on charges of abuse of power. He and his wife allegedly took and issued bribes and gave gifts to get favorable press coverage. What implications do these developments have in this the latest chapter in a troubled region of the world? 

After we discuss the current situation with Netanyahu, his legacy of hate, and his political opponent Bennie Gantz, we look back for some historical context between the Arab Palestinians and the Israeli Jews. 

Finally, we end with a lively discussion designed to analyze the current stalemate and evaluate possible solutions for peace in the region.  

Thank You for listening to THE GETTING INTO GOOD TROUBLE PODCAST, a project of the Innovation Diploma program of The Mount Vernon Upper School in Atlanta, Ga.
