Episode notes
Israel's Role in Middle East Conflict
- The idea that solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will resolve all Middle Eastern conflicts is false.
- Major regional wars have stemmed from inter-Muslim conflicts, unrelated to Israel.
Media Bias and Terrorism
- Media tends to portray terrorist acts by Muslim governments as reactions to Western provocation.
- This perspective wrongly assumes powerful nations are inherently immoral and justifies the actions of less powerful actors.
Democrats and the Census
- Democrats oppose the citizenship question on the census because it impacts representation based on voting population.
- Redistricting based on citizens, not total population, could cost Democrats House seats.
