Deep dives
Israel and Palestine conflict

The discussion touches on the need for negotiations and the desire for a two-state solution. It is suggested that granting Palestinians autonomy and independence could lead to a more peaceful coexistence.
International law and territory
The debate delves into the international legal aspects of the Israel-Palestine conflict. The principle of pre-colonial territories is discussed, with opposing views on whether the West Bank and Gaza should be considered occupied territory or part of Israel. The question arises about the need for autonomy and voting rights for the people residing in these areas.
The potential for peace
The potential for peace and resolution between Israel and Palestine is explored. The importance of negotiations and a younger generation of leadership is highlighted. The podcast emphasizes the need to recognize the rights of both Israelis and Palestinians and find a solution that allows for self-determination and independence.
Apartheid and voting rights
The issue of apartheid and voting rights is addressed in relation to the Israel-Palestine conflict. The lack of voting rights and limited autonomy for Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza is criticized, highlighting the need for a more equitable and inclusive state that respects the rights of all its citizens.
The dilemma of citizenship and rights
The podcast episode discusses the issue of citizenship and rights, emphasizing that certain groups of people are being held as second-class citizens without the same rights as recognized citizens. It highlights that voting rights is just one aspect, but there are also other natural rights that they are denied. The speaker finds it concerning that there is a focus on Israel in this debate, questioning why any advanced Western society would accept a situation where a group of millions of people are denied citizenship and rights.
The correlation between national debt and the price of gold
The podcast explores the correlation between national debt and the price of gold. It notes that historically, as the national debt increases, the price of gold also rises. Examples from the 70s and the present day are mentioned to underscore this relationship. The speaker points out that Donald Trump has warned about the US dollar no longer being the world standard, which could result in significant consequences. The podcast suggests protecting investments against the Federal Reserve and inflation by considering investment in gold and silver.
