“The latest episode, about attacks on Israelis in Holland, seals the deal on the deep biases contained in this podcast.
It describes anti-Semitic attacks in harrowing detail. It does not acknowledge that they were preceded by Israeli attacks on Muslim, including burning a Palestinian flag and chanting that there no schools in Gaza because the children are all dead. Including attacks on taxi drivers.
This omission is chilling and seems intentional. It frames the conflict as a spontaneous pogrom from the Muslims.
A minor detail from an earlier episode with Sheryl Sandberg stuck with me. She included a melodramatic description of her husband’s great parents on the ill-fated MS St. Louis, the ship full of European Jews trying to escape Hitler. They saw the Statue of Liberty and were turned away. Senor surely knows that the St. Louis was never near New York.
There is interesting perspective here and great interviews. But you can’t trust it.”
