What is a human rights career like? How should public schools teach the history of human rights? Does the wizarding world of Harry Potter uphold human rights? For answers to all of these questions, you're listening to the Rights Pod. The Rights Pod is produced by the Center for Human Rights and International Justice at Stanford University. Each week, current and former human rights students will discuss human rights—from how they are implemented in the international system to human rights in small places, close to home.

Israeli youth fight for their future

Kyra Jasper talks with Stanford alumna and Rhodes Scholar Anat Peled on the ongoing protests in Israel, including the reasons both the younger and older generations are taking to the streets, how these protests differ from past protests, and what these protests foreshadow about Israel's future.

Show Notes

Note: this podcast was recorded on December 29, 2020. Since the time of the recording, there have been several developments related to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s trial; most pertinently, his trial for corruption charges was delayed until February 8 because of the imposition of a third national COVID-19 lockdown, after an announcement in early January that the trial would be suspended “indefinitely.” More information can be found here: https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/pm-netanyahus-hearing-rescheduled-for-february-8-655006, https://www.timesofisrael.com/court-delays-netanyahus-2nd-appearance-in-court-for-his-trial-citing-lockdown/, and https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-court-postpones-next-hearing-in-netanyahu-s-corruption-trial-citing-covid-lockdown-1.9434724
