132: Israeli Wars & Star Wars

A dozen years ago, Nate had lunch, in Jerusalem, with a Palestinian, an Arab, and an Israeli. The three locals all agreed that Israel wouldn't exist in ten years as a nation state -- and the Palestinian said it was because he wanted every f-ing Israeli to die. Tune in to hear the rest of the story as the SASF guys discuss this bleak development in current world history, as well as the US's part in it and a brief foray into the role of empire. In typical SASF style, the guys blend two disparate topics: after the discussion of Hamas's murder of innocents, they affix a discussion of why the original Star Wars trilogy worked so well -- and almost everything in the franchise afterwards hasn't.
