United Statesa year ago - Truly wonderful show
I appreciate this show so much. I hate being associated with Israel just because I’m Jewish. This Institute is doing incredible work. Thank you!
Apple Podcasts5BlueCollarJewUnited Statesa year ago - Disgusting antisemitic drivel
These low lives are trying to turn their hobby into a job. FYI Zionism means the right of Jewish people to live in their ancient homeland. There was never a Nakba - it was a failed war of Arab Jihadi rapists (oh well some things do not change).
Israel is a beacon of light in a dark jihadi ME. Terrorists are despicable sub humans.

United Kingdoma year ago - Nothing ‘critical’ about this sorry mess
I swear each episode gets less ‘critical’ than the next. This is a bunch of comfortable western academics agreeing with and congratulating each other.

So the lowdown is, of every country in the world, the one Jewish one where 47% of the world’s Jews live, including the overwhelming majority of Middle Eastern and African Jews, is so evil that it must be destroyed. All others are fine. You won’t hear any guests disagree or off... more
