“this podcast has some good information, but it is ultimately politically inadequate for the moment. the nail in the coffin for me was episode 125, in which they discussed Palestine without centering Palestinian perspectives, struggle, and liberation. they talked about a ceasefire only, nothing about an end to the siege, an end to the occupation, the right to return, or a free Palestine. the vast, vast majority of people organizing in support of Palestine would not consider themselves “ceasefire activists.” beyond that they, or their guests, referred to Al-Aqsa Flood as “atrocities” and “horrors,” which is disgusting and chauvinist. it is unfathomable to me that anyone can sit at a desk and **condemn** resistance after seeing 4+ months and 76 years of this, truly mind blowing stuff, like we are not on the same planet. this isn’t the only example, but it does demonstrate how they waffle between genuine principle and liberal conclusion. so, ultimately, the show underdelivers on what it could have been or could be.”
