Unions across the United States have begun to shift from a long history of supporting Israel to condemning the Israeli occupation of Palestine amid growing calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, where Israel's 80-day assault has killed over 20,000 people. As ceasefire demands from teachers to Starbucks workers are published across the country and a major march led in part by union organizers in New York called on members of Congress to stop taking campaign cash from pro-Israel lobbyists, we speak with longtime trade unionist Bill Fletcher and labor historian Jeff Schuhrke about the United States labor movement's history with Israel and Palestine, Biden's Zionism clashing with his union support, and the labor movement's "tailspin" about how to respond to the war on Gaza.
