Megyn Kelly begins the show by discussing the disturbing Hamas propaganda showing them interacting with Israeli kids, the inhumanity of Hamas, President Joe Biden’s confusing response on 60 Minutes, the concerning pro-Hamas protests in the U.S. and around the world, and more. Then Emily Jashinsky, culture editor for The Federalist, and Eliana Johnson, co-host of the Ink-Stained Wretches podcast, join to discuss Harvard student groups supporting Hamas and displaying anti-Semitism, why some conservatives like Vivek Ramaswamy and Candace Owens are defending these students' choices and speaking out about "cancel culture," the reality of "Jew hatred" in America, the President of Harvard’s new statement after the anti-Israel statement signed by her students, how Harvard suddenly cares about free speech after the Israel attack and only for certain viewpoints, Anderson Cooper's powerful Israel reporting, the heated moment between hosts Briahna Joy Gray and Robby Soave on HillTV about Hamas support, what's behind the way some on the left and right are questioning stories about rape and beheading coming out of Israel, some MSNBC hosts making anti-Israel comments on air, how MSNBC may be subtly sidelining some Muslim hosts now, Trump’s comments about Israel and Netanyahu, Biden’s 60 Minutes comments about Iran and whether they were involved in the terror attack, arguments about "proportionality" and who really is committing "war crimes," why Israel and Jews are held to a different standard than every other country and minority group, and more.

Israeli officials have told Gazan citizens to leave the north and head south ahead of a potential ground invasion - retaliating after a week of war crimes perpetrated by Hamas on Israeli soil. 1.1million people - the number of people roughly in Birmingham, trekking largely on foot, down one of two roads, in the middle of a war. Is that possible? Most think not.

Are many, many thousands of Palestinian civilians about to get caught up in warfare that will see so many lives, on both sides, lost? Israel say they're acting proportionately - but are they about to commit war crimes, and why are British politicians largely happy with this interpretation?

We speak to the former Director of Prosecutions at the International Criminal Court, Fabricio Guariglia, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee Alicia Kearns, author of The Only Language They Understand: Forcing Compromise in Israel and Palestine & A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: A Palestine Story, Nathan Thrall, and military expert Michael Clarke.
