“I enjoyed this show for a while and found it mostly informative.
Unfortunately during some “explanation” of Israel, they leaned into antisemitic tropes and failed to address the pan-Arab colonialism that most recently pushed Jews out of the region and lead to the genocide of Jews in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and every other Arab country which helped foment support for the creation of Israel. They also neglected to cover how Israel was founded, with land purchased from the Ottoman Empire and British instead parroting the lie that Jews ransacked the land and forcibly took it. Rather they just chalked it up to “American hegemony”.
It’s sad. I hoped Vox would do better. And I can’t deal with antisemitism being woven into future episodes, so I had to let this one go.”
