  • Must listen ❤️

    Anyone who wants to learn more about Palestine should listen to this podcast. It’s not complicated. I really enjoy Lara and Michael and they’ve had some incredible guests. One that stands out as having a really big impact on me was Rabbi Shapiro.

  • Mentally challenged hosts

    These two are unbearable to listen to and use their “token Jew” status to uplift a DOA “comedy” career. They are mental midgets and can’t articulate a thought without blaming the Jews

  • Mike Africa Jr.

    This interview covered history that I had heard rumours of before but the actual events were not known to me. It a horror that people can continue to abuse others with complete disregard of anything. When you asked him what justice looked like for him I was waiting for him to say ‘power would be in the hands of those being governed’ or in the hands of Justice people or nobody would have to bow to stupidity and brutality anywhere in the world!
