Outstanding

Now that I’ve discovered the Brian Lehrer Show, I wouldn’t dream of missing an episode—he’s a sane, questioning, honest voice in a not always sane or questioning or honest world.

Disappointing

So disappointed in todays show about the targeted attack on World Central Kitchen. Seldom heard such nonsense as the Ha-Aretz journalist saying: oh no, IDF didn’t kill them on purpose - why would they, they will just have to feed the Palestinians themselves now. OBVIOUSLY keeping Palestinian civilians safe and fed has not been a concern of the Israeli government at all - in fact they have been starving them purposefully! And this complete hair brain statement was left standing without a response. Then followed by a call from a rabid rabbi, insisting that all other countries would and are doing much worse than Israel.
Again, no meaningful response to that insane take. Deleting the Brian Lehrer show from my subscriptions.
