In this week’s Trend Lines podcast, WPR’s editor-in-chief, Judah Grunstein, and senior editor, Frederick Deknatel, discuss recent tensions between Israel and Palestine, and the vanishing voice of the Trump administration in the conflict. For the Report, Max Radwin talks with Peter Dörrie about the challenges facing Paraguay’s Ache people as they continue their transition into a sedentary agricultural lifestyle, and explains how the Ache’s rainforest traditions might be the key to navigating them.
