Always great listening to Abby. Guys i.e., Kyle and Krystal, I sent the following email to Prof Chomsky. He replied that he currently doesn't see anything on his schedule but would try his best if it came up. I am copying my mail below for your amusement!

Dear Prof. Chomsky,

I heard somewhere online that the happy liberal David Pakman

is going to be interviewing you, end of May or beginning of June.

I am convinced that he won't bring up Israel Palestine in his

interview because in his Twitter feed he is absolutely silent on this topic.

The reason is he knows that everyone on the left including most liberals

are now harshly condemning Israel, something which he is not willing to do.

In fact, till 2015 he openly agreed with Sam Harris on Israel Palestine. Lately he doesn't talk about this issue because he knows virtually no one on the left supports him.

I am writing here to request you to bring up Palestine even though he would not ask you any questions about it.

Thanks

Rameez

The argument that Israel is so much more powerful that they should, essentially, allow Hamas to fire "bottle rockets" without retaliation is absurd. Condemnation should be held for both sides. It matters nil that there is a power imbalance. Hamas fires the rockets knowing full well that Israel will retaliate indiscriminately, and they use the carnage as propaganda. The Israeli government IS one of apartheid regardless of rationale. I'm not sure what the solution is but for episodes 20 and 21 Kyle and Krystal are essentially apologists for Hamas.

That's not even the argument that anyone made in this podcast, nor anyone I've ever heard has made. They are trying to provide the context to demonstrate the reality of the situation. Also, just to correct you, Israel isn't "just retaliating to Hamas' rockets"..that message is literally the whole goal of Israeli propaganda. The world wouldn't be this appalled at Israel's violence towards Palestinians if it were justified retaliation. It's not retaliation and that's what KKF is presenting to the audience. Honestly, all you have to do is listen to Israel's PM and the IDF generals comments, it's not hidden. The goal is to push out Palestinians by any means neccesary and one part of that strategy is airstriking Gaza every so often (referred to as 'mowing the lawn') as Abby mentions.

Hamas is obv not justified in throwing their rockets without knowing where they'll land ultimately endangering/killing civilians. But Hamas actually is retaliating to constant intentional violence and ethnic cleansing with the only reaction they know that works to give them some leverage to maintain any semblance of autonomy. So when you put all these points into context you realize that Hamas is just a red herring in a discussion that should be entirely focused on how to end the racist military occupation of Palestine (i.e. 'free Palestine' - not 'free Hamas' lol). To be clear - criticism of Israel has nothing to do with being an apologist to Israel - I'm not even sure how you could've possibly gotten that assessment of Kyle and Krystal after listening to either of these episodes. Makes me think you didn't even actually listen. Smh. Really sick of this talking point always being used as a tool to derail any Israeli criticism sheesh.

Israel deliberately created these groups. Start there.

Cool, she worked for Putin & Maduro State TV, and was a 911 truther....seems like a genuis.

Progressives go where they can be platformed. Blame MSM for deliberatlely creating a a neoliberal circlejerking echo chamber with DC as the center of the universe.

It seems odd you can tell someone is a genius just from that. Or is "genuis" something other than a typo?

So not sure if you guys read these or not, but for the ransomware all they do is encrypt all the files they can get a hold of, which depending on what that user/computer has access to can just encrypt your whole system, and you pay them to get the key to decrypt it, it's a common hack and most people just pay it because to restore from back up is normally just more costly than paying the random. But I am sure they paid, so they didn't have to redo the whole system and then spent time figuring out how they got access and plug that hole. All the payment does it give you the key to decrypt the files, but you want to plug the whole otherwise someone else can come do it again.

I'm trying to find the quote of Netanyahu saying to "light the strip on fire" Abby Martin said around 52 minutes. Totally believe it, I just want to see the context to be airtight.
