“I'm gonna say the same thing I always do. Misinformation. Propaganda. Probably good people, just need to more research. Don't spread lies. #freethehostages #freepalestinefromhamas”Read full review »

“I listened backwards, stopped at episode 13. The summary of events leading to this conflict was quite biased towards Israel. There were significant events left out that give much needed context to the history. Episode 82, loved it. I could feel the nerves but truly enjoyed the open and honest...”Read full review »

“I want to thank the producers of this show for presenting facts that speak for themselves, particularly in a climate where mainstream outlets like CNN routinely (in fact, necessarily) obfuscate the truth to defend the Israeli state.
While I’m grateful, I have to admit I struggle to listen to the...”Read full review »

“There is a lot of focus on the Arab perspectives ie Lebanon, Gaza, etc., and very little focus on the Israeli POV. Where are your journalistic principles? Much more balance is needed.”

“Regarding your most recent episode, talking about rape accusations on Oct 7 - has CNN independently verified the claims or evidence? Or is this just a rebroadcast of statements from those within Israel?”

“1. Gaza and the West Bank is separated by Israel in between. Think East and West Pakistan.
2. Kushner proposed a tunnel connecting the two. What was he smoking? It would be a nightmarish security threat for Israel.

“Very informative, right to the point. Really appreciated how she told the Palestinian story as well. Feels like that story is less well-known in the US so really liked the historical context starting back in the 1800s. Thank you!”

“If your looking for information about the 2014 coup or the past 7 years of Zelenskys racist and neo-nazi takeover of Ukraine, you won’t find it here.
