Episode notes
Netanyahu War Prolongation Slur
- The New York Times' claim that Netanyahu prolonged the Gaza war is a serious, unproven slander.
- Politicians rarely sacrifice themselves politically; Netanyahu's war decisions align with his conviction to win.
Media Bias Shapes Gaza War Story
- The New York Times' story reflects internal ideological biases, plugging in narratives from ideologically aligned sources.
- Hamas and Israel's enemies, not Netanyahu, are the true factors prolonging the war, especially due to hostage situations and human shields.
Radical Democrats Challenge Party

- Institutional absence of consequences enables radicals to push their agendas unchecked.
