I don’t get why I can’t find the I story I heard yesterday about the FIFA team chants. What’s the deal?
So I’ve heard interviews from 3 Palestinian hostages but not from a released Jewish hostage. Why? Your program can’t provide exploration by looking only in one direction. Do better, right now you are far from helpful discussion, your just one side, there’s no learning from just one side.
