Show Notes
Professor David Beito returns to pitch a path to peace in the Middle East that nobody's talking about: the Swiss Canton model. Two dozen self-governing cantons, a deliberately weak federal government, freedom of movement, and the rule of law — applied to a combined Israel-Palestine roughly the same size as Switzerland itself. We get into why the two-state solution is dead, how privatizing the 97% of Israeli land owned by the government could compensate displaced Palestinians, what Arab Israelis already prove about coexistence, and why the US, EU, and UN are part of the problem. Beito also addresses the demographic anxieties, the settler reality, the religious-state faction, and why this off-ramp gets more practical the longer the status quo drags on. In the second half, we shift to the Southern Poverty Law Center — Morris Dees, the lawsuit landscape, how "sedition" rhetoric jumped from left to right, the WWII Great Sedition Trial, domestic terrorism laws being used against environmentalists, and the FBI's pattern of cultivating easy targets instead of doing real investigative work. Plus Beito's new book on FDR and the New Deal, his upcoming Independent Review article on the Canton model, and Porch Tour dates kicking off in May.
