  • 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.

  • Lots of fine words, but little to give one real confidence from this politician.

  • A little old school

    I like the seasoned reserved Brithish take on geopolitics, but boy, giving the world changing pace, you might need to rethink before putting it up online.
