Debating Gaza problem with Mehdi Hasan
I miss hearing or seeing Mehdi Hasan on MSNBC. Thanks for having him on Pod Save America. As a philosophy student & therefore one who debates, I observe Hasan's ability to argue a point as stunning. His understanding of the Middle East is extensive. However, two points are rarely made in the media concerning Israel, which is to say Palestine, & president Biden. The IDF supports Israelites, that is colonists, when they trespass on Palestinian lands. Ancient olive groves are chopped down or uprooted, orange groves & farm animals are stolen or destroyed, homes destroyed or attacked. It is a fact that Biden identified himself as "Zionist" with joy & pride. Finding him saying it is easily found on the internet via YouTube.
Great podcast
I have been listening for many years. Love the show! Would like Jon and Tommy to be less dismissive of Lovett’s opinion.
Be fair.
I’ve always loved the pod but you have to point out the incoherent and craziness that is Biden. You can’t pick apart every little thing a conservative says but then turn a blind eye to the absolutely crazy stuff Biden says and does. He’s too old to be president. These guys know it but won’t say it.
