“This podcast is so important and interesting. Alyson is clearly very intelligent and well versed on this topic, it was eye opening. Also, thank you for being on the correct side of history - the side that wants violence in Palestine to end. I wish people in the reviews would respect your pronouns.”

“I LOVED you. But after your anti-semitic post, I am no longer a fan. What a shame you’d post that nonsense propaganda. You have no idea how much harm you’ve caused among the Jews and I hope you get canceled.”

The podcast is an invite to work together on what an appropriate framework would look like by highlighting the innocuous and bald dangers and...”Read full review »
