This show is a prime example of why the... more

  • Poor journalism

    The recent episode containing the interview with Dahlia Scheindlin was misleading. It did not disclose that she is on the extreme left of Israeli politics, and that her assertions of what Israelis want are unrepresentative and inaccurate.
