    Matt, for someone who claims to be an expert in International Peace and Conflict Resolution, your podcast is all about justifying, supporting and funding terrorism and genocide against the Jews! What a huge lie to say that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians. The fact that the population has GROWN ever since Israeli independence is the exact opposite meaning of "genocide"! People like you are the very "useful idiots" that have funded Hamas and PIJ, who have been committing atrocities for decades, murdered over 1000 innocents (assuming they were Jewish, although many weren't), took hostages (some of whom were raped, tortured or killed), stole supplies from the aid trucks, murdered aid workers and others in Gaza, trained children to be child soldiers and killed many Gazan civilians through sheer negligence (e.g. the failed rockets destined for Israeli civilians that exploded in Gaza) - not to mention the executions of gays, trannies, apostates and anyone accused of collaboration (as "traitors"), even if they were just protesting the brutality and corruption of the terrorists. There can be a ceasefire TODAY if Hamas/PIJ surrenders unconditionally, releases the hostages unharmed and renounces violence. Gaza needs to be totally demilitarized and the tunnels destroyed. Those requiring Israel to "ceasefire" actually want to perpetuate the genocidal war against Israelis (whether Jewish, Arab, Christian, Druze, atheist, Thai, Filipino or whatever). Not one "pro-Palestian" cares for a humanitarian surrender that would bring an instant end to the war - because they don't really want the war to stop. There cannot be a ceasefire if Hamas and the other jihadists continue to attack Israel and murder Israelis (or anybody happening to reside there)! Hamas is an openly genocidal terrorist organization - their charter is modeled on the Nazi's Final Solution. That's what you are all baying for when you shout "from the river to the sea". It's a "final solution". Don't bang on about "occupation" or "Apartheid" or "Palestinian states". You don't need a degree in history, let alone a masters dissertation to seek out the true facts. Gaza has been an independent, sovereign state since 2005. Before that it was ruled by Egypt until lost to the Israelis in a war initiated by Egypt (not Israel). Israel offered to return it, but Egypt refused: they don't want Gazans to be granted Egyptian citizenship as many of them have roots in the Muslim Brotherhood that has plagued Egypt for decades. As for that other Palestinian state, Jordan. It's makes up two-thirds of the previously Ottoman-ruled region known as Filistin. The League of Nations handed it over to the Hashemite kingdom, and it included the region now known as the West Bank. The people in Judea and Samaria are Jordanian citizens (not "Palestinians"). But as you should know, Jordan lost the region to Israel as a result of their war of aggression in 1967. Nevertheless, Israel has offered to return the region to Jordan in the 1980's but it was refused. The Jordanian government DOES NOT WANT to reintegrate the "Palelstinians" back into Jordan and have even passed a law to strip them of their Jordanian citizenship. Look to Jordan & Egypt and now Syria, Lebanon, Qatar and ultimately Iran. They are primarily to blame for the suffering of the Arab "Palestinians" (well, ex-Jordanians in the West Bank and the ex-Egyptians in Gaza). Israel is simply defending itself from a deliberate intent to eradicate all Jews. By supporting Hamas and the so-called Palestinians (and ignoring the role of Jordan and the genocidal charter), you are the same as all those Germans who saluted Hitler and looted Jewish shops and beat up and raped the Jews and helped to send them to their deaths in the concentration camps. If that's not "antisemitic" then I don't know what is. This new form of Nazism needs to be stamped out as a matter of urgency. The only difference now is that Jews have their own, sovereign nation now. But the same rotten, Nazi, antisemitic sentiment that pervaded German, Italy, Russia and much of Europe and even the USA - who either exterminated or "ethnically cleansed" the established Jews from their territories or closed their doors to the Jewish refugees fleeing persecution (USA in particular) - is becoming pervasive in the USA and UK today. Everyone at these "pro-Palestinian" rallies and everyone "standing with Palestine" on social media are Nazis to the bone, in the same way as the Germans were in the 1930s and 1940s. The thing is, they didn't believe they were evil either. They believed the Jews (and gays and gypsies and others) were the evil beings and needed to be eradicated. Which is what y'all believe too, don't you!?

    I know I've mentioned this before, probably several times, on Nora's channel, but I sorta kinda did this myself many years ago, working while circumnavigating the USA by train, only I did it by myself so it wasn't as much fun, although I did meet up and stay with friends along the way. I was working on Wall St. at the time in IT and had to travel to Seattle for training at Microsoft. This was to be right after New Year's. I had a bunch of vacation days left and between that and the holidays and of course weekends I was able to find around three weeks or so away from the office. Of course one of those weeks was in training. But I got to stay at a fancy Seattle hotel and had a generous per diem, so it felt like a vacation. Sort of. My company was going to fly me there in business class but I got to thinking why not by train instead. I asked and they were willing to pay for it so long as it didn't cost more than the flight would have, and I'd have to pay for anything over that. So I did a bunch of research (this was before the internet so it was all by phone and Amtrak schedule), and found that I could travel to San Francisco, where a friend of mine lived (well, Oakland, technically, across the bay) and another would meet us there for New Year's, by train, then take a train up to Portland, where I could stay with another friend, then drive up to Seattle for a week, drive back, and travel back to NY by train. It was actually even better. Two different trains to SF, the Broadway Limited to Chicago and then California Zephyr to SF, then the Coast Starlight up to Portland (through a snowstorm which was spectacular), a drive around the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend (stormy and raining and just the way I imagined), that week of training in Seattle, drive back to Portland by way of Mount Ranier (all the way up to Paradise), the Empire Builder to Chicago, and then the Cardinal back to NY, seven nights, even more days, all in sleepers, all meals included, and it only cost me $400 because my company paid for the rest including the rental car. I even did some work on the train on a laptop. So, I was sorta kinda a "digital nomad" for a few weeks, before there even was such a thing, working while traveling and having the work pay for most of it. I can't imagine doing this full time though. Or can't I...
