If you only have one hour to spend on understanding this conflict it's probably best spent here.

[@nycrsny3406]

Was such a great and informative episode. Love how straight to the point Alex is and him explaining the different forces and pressures at play (political, military, societal) on the different actors involved in this conflict. You really leave with the impression he thoroughly knows what he's talking about, the one negative about this discussion is that it was only an hour imo.

[@hollywoodlibertarian4227]

Awesome Pod. I’d love to hear more talk about the Abraham Accords and the strategic pathway forward in the area. What nation could provide security? Saudi Arabia? Jordan? Great questions raised.

[@ericallison7934]

Thanks for making it understandable great info

[@gunnerwright7793]

Pisses me off one of my friends went missing at nova music festival and this makes me think he is gone. A 20 something nyc kid going to a music festival in isreal he was Jewish by blood but not really by faith not that it matters. Just sucks

[@jasonlyons7791]

Damn...I truly am sorry for this...I know that it may not mean much but I pray that your friend comes home safe, healthy, and soon.

Great episode

[@briancasserly744]

-chuckle- Milburn hastily attempted to steer the conversation towards equivocation and moral judgment, contrasting with the straightforward, sober minded perspective presented by Plitsas. Plitsas promptly countered, redirecting the conversation back to the factual context. Despite this, Milburn persistently reverted to his own bias, endeavoring to emphasize negative perspectives and interjecting his ideology regarding the concept of "occupation." #Boorish Regardless, Kudos to Alex Plitsas for providing a sane, level headed perspective.

[@magalengo]

Yes, sometimes I wonder what side Andy is on.

[@gunnerwright7793]

Just saw Andy’s book is free with audible

[@americanrebellion5627]

Now that Gantz is out, now what?

[@gunnerwright7793]

How can Hamas pretend to be a political group and take hostages and loose 1/2 of them
