“I want to open with an apology that my first review of this podcast is a negative one when I’ve listened to every episode for years and have valued the content and reporting immensely. I didn’t intend to write a review, but this interview stuck under my skin.
The interview with Mairav came across as apologist. Even allowing Mairav to claim, “the Hamas attack on the 7th could be considered a genocidal attempt” with no pushback from the host on the history of Hamas (and Israeli support for their rise or the self-defense aspect of Palestinians being under occupation and apartheid) or concerns for the actual definition of genocide. Beyond that, giving a platform to a voice speaking to the seemingly mild discomfort of being in Tel Aviv, where bomb shelters exist (even private or semi-private ones it seems according to Mairav?) at a time when such a brutal massacre is occurring in Gaza came across as insultingly tone deaf to the current moment.
And lastly I’ll say, Mairav even explicitly said she’s never experienced antisemitism, but is generally concerned about its rise given current events. I don’t think if you’d interviewed a Muslim in the OPT they could possibly say they’ve never experienced discrimination. The focus on an Israeli-American for this episode was a mistake. I have never experienced this kind of outrage and shock at an Intercepted podcast prior and I truly expect better. I’m still giving 5 stars because overall your reporting is invaluable, but I do hope you rethink platforming a voice like this in the future. Apologies for any typos as this was written on a phone. Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback.”
