- Very good but problematic
I would give this 5 stars for the quality of the conversation and debate were it not for comments like references to Trump as charming and the like. Only an Israeli could call someone who refers to Mexicans as r*pists, makes fun of the disabled, calls white supremacists “very fine people,” and engages in antisemitic dog whistles here in the US charming.

Amazing how people can ventilate such racist views without any shame.
All Palestinians are terrorist of course. But if an israeli r*pes them on video these are of course ‘alleged’ crimes.
Hard not to vomit in your mouth.
