Haaretz Podcast

Though the topics and commentary is excellent, the producers should try to improve the sound quality which ranges from mediocre to very poor. (you need the sound engineer from “The Promised Podcast”)

I was horrified to read the transcript of this interview-. I was horrified that you gave Mr Beinart a podium to spew his anti Israel venom. He should have been made to spend 3 months with an IDF unit. Has he seen the devastation in our North and South. Did he see all the footage from October 7? Does ge understand the nature of Hamas and their explicitly genocidal aims? Has he read the numerous reports of expert military men who after painstaking analysis have praised Israel for its care and efforts on the whole to prevent civilian deaths under the worst fighting conditions ( Hamas using its civilians as human shields etc You know all this yet you give. Him a bully pulpit to add his skewed biased View to that of the antise mites. I have been looking for a liberal left viewpoint in my efforts to listen to a balanced fare of reporting. This interview is way over the line and should not have seen the light of day. I have lost some trust in your presenting me with material worth listening to.

Definitely Not a Balanced version of US and Israeli News!!!! No Longer Interested…..

In such a painful time for Israel and world Jewry, Allison Kaplan Sommer’s interviews are, as the expression has it, “reality based,” i.e. factual and in-depth. And, when our emotions are inflamed, she brings compassion, too. Here, in the English-speaking Diaspora, feeling too far from Israel, I find her balanced, probing interviews water for the thirsty for news of Israel, with the essential feature that she doesn’t succumb to ideology shaped by fear or hate. Today Rabbah!
