Too bias in favor of Israel

“I am a long time listener, and have been listening since 2010. However, the two episodes involving the genocide on Gaza by the Israeli government was lacking analysis and context. David and Emily failed to acknowledge the Israeli government’s absolutely atrocious actions over 75 years towards Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. There was absolutely no acknowledgement that Israel is occupying Palestine, and has created Hamas through its war crimes and torture on the Palestinian people. They parroted the Israeli government rationale that they are trying to “rid Gaza of Hamas” when statement after statement and video after video and image after image show that the Israeli government just wants to get rid of Palestinians and to take over Gaza and the West Bank. The most biased discussion and flippant disregard of Palestinian people I have heard from supposed liberals. Emily even said that people need to humble themselves (ie Palestinian supporters), and that this conflict is complicated (it’s not complicated. Killing 11,000 Palestinians for land is wrong). It sickens me. Just proves that this podcast is yet again made up of people who benefit from and encourage colonialism, and oppression of others.”

“The self absorbed David Plots rambles on and talks over his two co-hosts weekly. They regurgitate the weekly stories and pretend they have something to add, but usually get it wrong. They recite conventional wisdom while providing no background or insight. An incredible waste of time. I'd...”Read full review »

“Although I prefer Slate's Culture Gabfest, I still listen to the political one. The arguments almost always provide insight and perspective on current political happenings, even when I find myself disagreeing with some of the hosts' points. One of the speakers (no names because I like...”Read full review »
