Alex Kopytko is a ”radical centrist” that wants to understand the extremes. He has worked in politics and has studied public policy and political science. Alex argues that centrism is less about being a contrarian, it is about being able to change your mind and embrace an openness to new ideas. He is concerned about where the United States is headed and through conversations with people from all sides of the political spectrum, he wants to know how Americans can limit the tribalism that is flourishing. As someone that dances along the center-right of the political spectrum, Alex thinks the country needs to come together and talk to one another before it could be too late. This podcast covers domestic politics, as well as political philosophy, and international issues.

In this episode, Alex breaks down the recent terrorist attacks conducted inside of Israel by the terrorist group Hamas. Over the weekend, Israel experienced unprecedented attacks by Hamas that (as of now) left over 700 Israelis dead and a large, but unknown, number of civilians taken as hostages. Alex notes that a lot of the deaths were civilians and even some included students at festivals. Some are calling this attack Israel’s 9/11 and Alex finds it hard to disagree with this description. Unfortunately, but understandably, Israel has responded with brutal attacks on Palestinian territories and some worry the worst is yet to come as strikes have been reported in Lebanon as well. For most of the episode, Alex talks about how Israel and Palestine have reached this point and why Hamas should be blamed but the policies of Netanyahu must be questioned.
