  • Grotesque

    He pompously glosses over Palestinian deaths and yet will detail the horrors of an Israeli death. He will gloss over Israeli atrocities and will hyperbolize the Palestinian wrongdoings. He doesn’t even for balance dare to present the Palestinian or anti-zionist point of view, even when offered by highly articulate and educated Jews. It’s grotesque & disappointing. I’ll take Ezra Klein & Gabor/Daniel Mate for a more enlightened, self-aware, and less biased discussion. Sam lacks nuance & flexibili... more

  • Disingenuous about Israel crimes

    While Mr Harris has generally informative podcasts his apologist approach to Israel’s murder of Palestinian women and children is sickening.

Netanyahu supported Hamas to stop a two-state solution. Period. It worked. Palestinian leaders are also to blame for the lack of progress on a two-state solution. Israel’s population is roughly 20% European Jew... more

An insufferable 45 minutes of utter garbage: outright lies, deflections, omissions, staggering reductionist racism and more; every single sentence uttered. All in the service of defending “Israel’s” slaughter of over 30k people of Gaza, the majority of them women and children, while starving them and making their land unlivable. To make this e... more

  • IDF boot licker

    Sam's recent episode on Israel seals his fate as a pro genocide, pro apartheid, racist IDF boot licker. What a clown. more
