The Palin of the South, the other dumb meat.
One of the best 1st hour in recent memory
Much better reporting on the Israel / Palestine conflict. Obviously the fight is unbalanced, but they’re still both religious zealots and both can even be considered terrorists by that definition that was given. It’s all just wrong.
I cried 3 times during this broadcast… today hit hard
Trust me i broke down to.
I pray every day for Gaza. I hate all right wing Gov. I am thankful that the US has a right wing that is not 95 % popular. Thank God for the counterbalance we have here. Israel needs libs BAD
Israel will regret doing this. You don’t change people’s minds by killing their children, their brothers and sisters. You cause them to hate you,. It won’t break their back. It’ll incite them to violence for decades.
I agree with your Unholy Land segment completely. How many people have to die in a proxy war for imaginary sky gods? The whole region should be a purely secular democracy. Not a Jewish state, not a Muslim state, just a state with freedom of religion and freedom from religious oppression.
Israel is worst than Nazi Germany in my opinion.
No, they are not worse than Nazi Germany. They just aren’t as much better as they should be.
Do you have any idea how many people were murdered and terrorized by Nazi Germany? The second you say that you lose every last shred of credibility you might have had.
I agree, in a way. Not worse the Nazi but they are on the way to becoming that, if not stopped. They yell “death to Arabs” . and want a “racially pure” country for just them. Not worse, but headed down that path, might end up worse.
