Customer Reviews
Very interesting and informative
I’ve started listening to the podcast after October 7 because I wanted to understand more about Israel and about my people. I love how there’s no bias and it’s just straight up facts. Usually I have difficulty understanding history but with this, it was very easy to understand. The podcast makes me want to look at more information about the topics and also gives me a greater appreciation for Israel, my people yet also a deeper understanding for the other side of the conflict. I hope one day there will be everlasting peace.
Thank you Noam and team for this podcast!
