Watch now | In a shocking admission, a major public health official admits what we feared was true. Trish unpacks the meaning of NIH’s Francis Collins' recent confession. Also — why are Israel’s war supporters downplaying the evils of the holocaust? We have an investigation into an ugly propaganda campaign. And Rashid Khalidi, one of the world’s foremost Palestinian scholars, joins Trish to analyze some of the talking points that keep the bombs dropping and a primer on the history of Palestinian grievance. Victims of victims.
Thank you Trish - Excellent interview with Rashid Khalidi. I just wish you had pointed out that it is actually the IDF who are behaving worse than the Nazis. Also a great interview with Colonel McGregor.
We didn't need a new cost-benefit analysis, because we already had that information.
It has always been the job of Public Health experts consider the Big Picture, not just one illness.
Public Health experts wrote the Pandemic Preparedness Plans that existed all over Western countries with exactly such viruses in mind. These PPPs said NO to NPIs, NO to vx mandates, and NOOOOOO to enforcement rather than health.
Collins is a flat out liar.
Also, regarding IVM. I'm not a fan, we didn't need alt-medical cures, what we needed was WEIGHT LOSS and metabolic health and outdoors and sport and happiness culture (cuz anxiety/stress reduce the immune system).
I stopped following Bret Weinstein for his germophobic hysterical obsession with IVM. He's deathly afraid of germs.
SCV2 is not a problem.
Germophobia is a tremendous problem.
Let's not focus on miracle cures, lets focus on health.
I don't quite understand the "generational" claims about opinions on Palestine. I'm an elder Gen-X-er and all my peers were pro-Palestine, since my earliest memories. In fact, this is what broke the Left and Leftists started associating Islam with the Left, conflating the Palestinian issue with the Islamist issue in the rest of the world.
That to me was a catastrophe for the Left.
I have zero love for those pushing Islam onto the West, but that has no bearing on my support for Palestine, from the river to the sea.
Move Israel to Ontario. It should never have been placed in the Middle East.
Before Douglas Murray became the darling of right-wing content providers, he was known as an extreme right-winger. But his wonderful performances in debate camouflaged his more extreme positions, but the truth of his character has really surfaced here.
As a third generation atheist, and not a silenced one, I was well amused by the Four Horsemen of Atheism, and their showy ways in debate, and how they so excelled at "gotcha-ing" people with their mastery of logical fallacies.
Sadly, debating skills have zero relation with truth. It would sure be nice if it were true, like a truth filter, but no.
Idiotic illiterate people can be right about a circumstance, and a debate winner can be wrong.
Truth and "Debate" are unrelated, and we should maybe end these stupid personality debates.
My favourite one is the ever popular "Naturalistic Fallacy". I dare say that all those arguing with that mastery of fallacies, are committing their own fallacy, in failing to recognise that the results of evolution ARE better and more efficient than human inventions. And those arguing that fallacy are intellectually mired in "present-ism"
Let's move Israel to Ontario. I'm so certain Ontarians would be most welcoming to Jewish people (where most Canadian Jews live today). I'm certain Ontarians won't mind being partitioned. After all, Israel is only about 2% of the size of Ontario, so it should go off without a hitch. This would represent ACTUAL safety for Jewish people.
There can never be peace in the Middle East while Israel is there.
I disagree with the guest on only one point, the conflation of anti-Jewism and anti-Semitism. The former is hatred of the religion, the latter is hatred of the "race" (which biologically doesn't exist but whatever).
There have always been brown and browner people travelling through Europe, there were no pogroms about brown people.
What was frequent all over Eurasia was ANTI-JEWISH-RELIGION sentiment. That has zero to do with race.
Nearly 2000 later the Jews who migrated to Israel were no longer brown people, they were completely mixed with white Eurasians.
These Eurasian migrators are white.
The Palestinians are the real "Semites"
So who exactly are the real "anti-Semites".
The "anti-semitism" slur must be disappeared, along with all other phobias.
Between people of Jewish faith leaving the Middle East in year zero, leaving few behind, and WW2, few people understand the background of the creation of Israel as a strategic Military outpost by Brits/USA.
Some people know of the Balfour Agreement, very few people understand the background to the Balfour Agreement: Acetone!
You yourself Trish may know, but I met most of your readers under 50 don't.
Re the recent NYT propaganda piece on Hamas orchestrating massive, widespread rape as a weapon of war, here is a good analysis of its veracity (or lack thereof). The Electronic Intifada did a pretty in-depth analysis of the NYT reportage as well. Most significantly, besides the lack of any real evidence, named suspects, or victim testimony is the fact that the family of the woman "in the black dress" denies the whole rape story and is very upset that the NYT used them in this way and supposedly posted a photo of her online to massive clicks (yet the photo is not accessible anywhere). Please read this story before you use this as a reason to justify killing close to 23,000 innocent people (to date).
I consider myself reasonably open minded. I’m not afraid to question and go down the rabbit holes. I don’t think I’m exceptional but it is the exception to do so. Guppies out in front of whales. How do we turn this around?
Trish for the sake of humanity I am sharing this so you can see who it is behind the suffering of Israel and the Palestinian people. Please don’t hate me for this but I think it’s time to put an end to many myths. https://www.hamas.com/
Hamas put this on the internet as they were perpetrating these acts. They had body cams to make sure they could send it out to the world and rewatch their work for thrills. I happened to catch it but was horrified and turned it off. I think some people need to be dropped off and left for those kind, sweet, victims in Palestine. It was the same actions that some of these jihadists did in Morocco to two young girls who were traveling together. They saw their Facebook pages and found out they were lesbians, so when they camped out, they raped and then beheaded them. They put their handy work out to the world. They even sent that handiwork to the parents of those two girls. I suppose that is propaganda too. https://www.thechronicle.com.au/news/family-urges-public-not-to-watch-scandinavian-tourist-decapitation-video/news-story/cb8d0318432609d83a5da743c025ab27
Nice podcast, Trish and the professor were too generous not to tread on the holy ground of the October 7 events. Max Blumenthal needs to be heard more widely on this. He goes right to the heart of the matter.
Wow! This didn't take long now did it? And it's "free" to read which is an anomaly for The New York Sun! The Israel PR campaign is really pulling out all the stops - but then again when you're investing a billion dollars, right, I guess there's a lot of takers!

I don't remember him mentioning the Al-Aqsa mosque attacks that preceded October 7 ? Hence the naming of the Oct.7 attack.

https://jermwarfare.com/conversations/zachary-foster-on-the-history-of-hamas https://jermwarfare.com/conversations/ilan-pappe-on-the-myths-about-israel So I humbly stand corrected. I know so little I didn’t know what I didn’t know. What an absolutely fucking mess. The effort to sift through all the propaganda from our education and ongoing media reports clearly requires Herculean effort to clean out the stables.
I consider myself reasonably open minded. I’m not afraid to question and go down the rabbit holes. I don’t think I’m exceptional but it is the exception to do so. Guppies out in front of whales. How do we turn this around?
Fabulous interview! I may return to share another comment later - for now, just ... thanks for this so-enlightening conversation.

Pure propaganda

That site is Israeli Propaganda. Those images mostly do NOT come from the cam footage of the attack.

It certainly seems that way - empathy is disappearing in warp speed .
