Mark's review of the Bible is basically, "This is a book for Jews about Jews by Jews who hate Jews and want you to hate Jews, too."

Ehud Barak is the guy who was caught visiting Epstein's house in 2016, sneaking up in the middle of the night with security guards everywhere and his coat pulled over his head, and Barak later said that he'd been to Epstein's place "more than 10 times, but less than 100."

Is there anywhere online to read Mark's bible review?

John Waaben

seconding this, couldn't find it after a quick search !

self-hate is the highest form of self-flattery

Lol. I was in KEY Club in high school! I had no idea the intrigue I was caught up in.

Netanyahu did not quote that gory passage from the book of Samuel, Michael Tracey did – to spell out an inference. But a cursory look at old headlines from Ha'aretz suggests that "Amalek" has long been used as a stand in for any existential threat to Jews, which is rhetorically more in line with everything else Netanyahu has said to justify his campaign

Lojban Chauvinist

Wikipedia: "Groups identified with Amalek include the Romans, Nazis, Stalinists, ISIS, Palestinians, and bellicose Iranian leaders such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad."

Lojban Chauvinist

This is not to deny, necessarily, that Netanyahu may have genocidal intent and may have meant his reference to be taken as such

I also tried to find this after it came up on a previous episode with no luck. Would appreciate a link.

Hans Anders

It would be great to hear your thoughts on the ground invasion next episode, both current results and prospects

Dan Kolbert

I’m not a self hating Jew - it’s all the other ones I can’t stand.

Steve

Yeah, same for me. About the only place I can get all features to work is on my desktop using Chrome.

Hello War Nerds. Thanks for these Hamas episodes. Would you consider unlocking them at all? Maybe a bit cheeky but I'd love to share them with a few people. There's almost nowhere to find anything like nuance on what and who Hamas is or how they evolved. I'm only really seeing context-free anti or pro Hamas rhetoric. So thanks again. These are fascinating.

Great episode. Don’t know how I missed it. So many echoes to this day
