Civil rights lawyer & patron of the show Bree (@BreeEsq on the hellsite) joins us to tell the tale of her bizarre birthright trip to Israel.We discuss that and more in the extended version. Including her fascinating insights on IDW fans she encounters on Tinder, her breaking the story about the unhinged, genocidal & ironically named podcast ‘2 Nice Jewish Boys’. We also discuss the deliberate and massive information gaps in news about Israel’s assault on Palestine and how the msm has failed the public on this issue. How information being suppressed leads to some bad actors filling the gaps.Links:Isaac Herzog’s anti miscegenation views, calling intermarriage an ‘actual plague’ https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/isaac-herzogs-remarks-racial-purity-reprehensible-any-languageBreaking the Silence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_the_Silence_(organization)Hannibal Directivehttps://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-07-07/ty-article-magazine/.premium/idf-ordered-hannibal-directive-on-october-7-to-prevent-hamas-taking-soldiers-captive/00000190-89a2-d776-a3b1-fdbe45520000Yoav Gallant confirms use of Hannibal Directive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48ADwSrPG9wVery oddly specific cartoon that came up in our conversation: https://x.com/breeesq/status/1743423202179846483?s=61&t=w7q_ejvwZ_gCFj9WV50Lqw Hosted on Acast.

Each day there are at least 72.4 new disasters caused by the Trump administration. It seems like Trump and his billionaire N@zi pal Elon, are intentionally accelerating the collapse of the US and world politics as we know it. Who could have predicted they’d hand racist teenage internet trolls access to sensitive government information? Well…. A lot of people who have watched the darker corners of the internet could have warned about some of the stuff we’re seeing now. The presence of similar anti-minority themes, the rationalization of hate and online harassment campaigns have been observed in many rightwing spaces over the years. But Gamergate served as a blueprint for so many of them. Who paved the way for this nightmare? Was it Rational Centrists who often legitimized rightwing fearmongering, Liberals? Both sidesy media? Was it the Dems who enabled a genocide? Or the people who refused to vote for them? Join me as I explore this topic.

What a wild first few days it’s been. Trump’s second term began with his best bud and right hand man extending that hand in a full on H!tler salute. Twice. Some of the voices rushing to defend Elon’s gesture, have also been some of those most active in weaponizing accusations of antisemitism against leftists who protested Israel’s genocide. In the most bizarre way, this moment has show how little some Israel supporters care about actual antisemitism. Join me for an in-depth look at the contradictions and excuses we’ve been seeing in the past few days.
