First class analysis

If you’re a liberal interested in human and individual rights - this podcast provides intelligent and thoughtful analysis.
Not recommend for Israel haters or fanatics of any stripes.

Liberal rubbish

I was hoping for some intelligent insight. This does not provide that.

Even Westerners with half a brain know Netanyahu isn’t a great politician. Yet this pod is fixated on him.

Hardly a mention of the Iranian backed terror organisations that have killed babies, children and teenagers and most likely the rest of the hostages. No mention of the innocent civilians that DO exist in Gaza who are injured and killed because the terrorists who instigated this war keep hostages in occupied apartment buildings, fire rockets from densely populated areas and take over hospitals and schools as command centres.

Yes, they use innocents as human shields after they carry the heinous, unforgivable inflammatory acts of Oct 7. These civilians are bravely speaking out against Hamas now that the brave IDF have hunted Hamas down.

This is not an educational Pod. It just adds to the disgraceful anti semitism sweeping the globe.

I hope these Israeli hosts are proud of spreading such anti Semitic hate in the aim of trying to make themselves sound like well educated liberals.

To me you sound uneducated, there are basic facts you can’t ignore, despite who your Prime Minister is.

You should just do an historical Pod in BN and stay away from current events. Israel is the victim. Never forget that.

Sincerely

An Australian non practicing Christian who stands with the victims and with the Jewish people who are again being persecuted. We also stand with Ukraine. Tyranny and Terrorism can never win.
