  • Thank you

    In a world where propaganda has brainwashed a vast majority of people (those who don't experience the conflict themselves but consume news via social media and biased news sources), it's important to listen to real people from the region - people who have experienced and are experiencing the conflict firsthand. I have been following Ksenia Svetlova, an unbiased and truly intelligent expert on the Middle East, for over a decade. Thanks for creating this podcast together with Ibrahim Abu-Ahmad.
