Can't listen anymore. At least the show now declares itself as a Labor propaganda outlet.

In an approx 10 minute rant starting at the approx 50 minute mark David Feeney says among other things “have bleached for international law of all of its meaning and power by talking about a fake genocide claim in Gaza, by talking about a fake famine in Gaza” and “let's not forget that all of those who manufactured these absurd and oversized claims against Israel can themselves take a small bow for having killed it” and “... more
