Was excited but left disappointed

“I was eager to listen to the pod so that I could listen to crash courses of Israeli history throughout my day and learn some lesser known historical events. It was marketed as a podcast that teases out the grey areas and gives a respectful look into each side of the Palestinian Israeli conflict so I was disappointed after listening to five episodes that the host does not offer the same apologies to Palestinians as he does to the state of Israel. I don’t think there is anything wrong with being apologetic to certain difficult decisions Israel has had to make in its short history, but you cannot do this without offering the same thing to Palestinians. I was particularly off put by the fake news diatribe at the end of the Deir Yassin massacre episode. The host literally said that in the end 100 Palestinians were murdered and then quickly segwayed into a hot take about how horrible this was for Israeli press and how he was confused/thought it was a shame that the media role out of one massacre could leave a legacy of distrust? Like babe…read that back first? Listening to this podcast is exhausting which is a shame because I genuinely wanted to learn more about Israeli history.”

“I’ve heard about a lot of these different events but I’ve never had somebody explain it to me without some kind of radical slant. I learned so much and the episodes are short. Highly recommend”

“Noam covers a number of impactful historical topics including lesser known ones. He delivers the topic in a fair and balanced manner and is a great storyteller.
P.S. I’m not Jewish; I am an aficionado of great history podcasts!”

“This podcast does not talk about the murder of multiple US citizens by the hands of apartheid Israelis. Glosses over murder of Palestinian children. Does not speak about their fascist leader who should be on trial at The Hague.”
