  • Weird Vocal Cadence

    Has the host had a stroke or suffers from dysphonia? Impossible to listen to without being distracted.

  • Encourages naive views of Israel Occupation

    The guest was allowed to drone on with zero ability to understand why 10/7 happened from a resistance pov and why it involved violence. It wasn’t a time to play nice. Doesn’t seem to have any clue about the last 75 years. Arrogant and unlistenable while also performing heroics of feeling enlightened.

    Liberal Zionism is just as bad as right wing Netanyahu Likud party Zionism. Listen to Norman Finkelstein, Jewish Voice for Peace, Not in My Name.
