Pro-hamas

Listened for years to these guys, but the extreme pro-hamas views have turned me off since 10/7 - content has bordered on anti-Semitic at times. I am a progressive who wanted to listen to lots of their stuff, so it is frustrating to learn their views are extreme on this subject and I have to move on.
