218: Israel with Jim Gerstein and Brigadier General Ty Seidule

<div>Following the tragic attack on Israel by Hamas, James and Al are joined by political strategist Jim Gerstein to break down the situation on the ground and its regional ramifications.  They delve into the potential for a wider conflict, how a follow-up invasion can destroy the prospects for Middle East peace, and how the Israeli government is responding.  Then, they welcome Brigadier General Ty Seidule to examine the tactics used and the harm to our military readiness caused by Republicans.  Between their war on the diversity of our troops and Senator Tuberville’s blockade of military promotions, are we ready for the next crisis?   <br> <br> Email your questions to James and Al at <a href="mailto:POLITICSWARROOM@GMAIL.COM">politicswarroom@gmail.com</a> or tweet them to<a href="http://www.twitter.com/@politicon"> @politicon</a>.  Make sure to include your city, we love to hear where you’re from!<br> <br> <strong>Get More From This Week’s Guests:</strong><br> <br> <strong>Jim Gerstein </strong><br> <a href="https://www.gbaostrategies.com/team">GBAO Strategies </a><br> <br> <strong>Brigadier General Ty Seidule (Ret.):</strong><br> <a href="https://twitter.com/Ty_Seidule?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://uscga.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Seidule_bio.pdf">West Point</a> | <a href="https://www.tyseidule.com/">Website</a> | <a href="https://www.hamilton.edu/academics/our-faculty/directory/faculty-detail/Ty-Seidule">Hamilton College</a> | <a href="https://www.newamerica.org/our-people/ty-seidule/">New America</a> | <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Robert-Lee-Me-Southerners-Reckoning/dp/1250239281">Author of “Robert E.
