Love this podcast!
What I love about this podcast is they discuss facts! They know how to tell the truth. I love most of the topics they choose , I like the little sense of humor. I listen to this podcast every morning . Keep up the good work!!!
That’s for having rational perspective on Israel
The voices here are super nuanced and on-point, as a Zionist who very much believes in preserving Palestinian life (and a 2-state solution), I don’t even see this as pro-Zionist coverage. It’s just fair. Smart questions and great journalism.
