October 18 2025- Hamas' Reign of Terror in the Gaza Strip & How Does The "Creative Destruction" Theory Work? The week began with the hope that the release of hostages and the cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war would lead to lasting peace. But by mid-week, huge tensions surfaced as the terror group tried to reassert itself, failed to deliver the remains of most murdered hostages, and began publicly executing its rivals. I spoke with Professor Gabriel Ben Dor who teaches National Security and Political science at the University of Haifa.  And This week, Canadian academic Peter Howitt learned that he is sharing a Nobel Prize in economics for his work on “creative destruction” that fuels economic growth. What does that mean and how does it work? I turned to Moshe Lander, Senior Lecturer of Economics at Concordia University in Montreal for answers. 

Every week, Libby Znaimer sits down to sort through the noise and find the stories that truly matter for a curious, engaged audience.
