Apple Podcasts5YaakovUnited States8 months ago - Exceptionally important work
Thank you for the well researched work you are doing in all areas of Jewish history, but in these dark days of rising antisemitism and the blatant anti-Israel bias in formerly trustworthy news agencies, like the BBC and organisations like the UN, you are needed more than ever as a balanced source of information and as an informed critic, sounding alarm bells for all of western society. My gratitude from Australia.
Apple Podcasts5jenniferajackmanAustralia9 months ago Not once do these Zionist apologists mention the lives, aspirations or humanity of Palestinians. They distract and dissemble with irrelevant examples from a Zionist interpretation of the Torah to blame the goyim for every antisemitic occurrence. They create, with their fear, envy and hatred of nonjews, a doppelganger of themselves. Like the classical antisemite that projects their internal disgust with themselves onto the Jews in order to absolve themselves from thepersonal responsibility.
