  • NOTE: Sorry we were so late with this week's slop my beautiful hogs. There will be extra make-up slop in the coming weeks for you to stick your snouts into. I swear.
    Matt and Daniel are joined by comedian and former United Nations war crimes attorney Jess Salomon to discuss arboreal colonialism, the Democratic National Convention’s aversion to Palestinian speakers, and a particularly cursed rendition of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony’s Crossroads where all the words were said.

    My perception, as a fourth-grader in 1954 (whose public school teacher had a jar on her desk for us to put our lunch money in for the "greening of israel"), was not so much that there were NO people there as they were all nomads, who wandered around with their sheep and camels. The implication was that they had built no cities or farms..and were very primitive. Come to find out they not only had build cities with industries and universities and farms with orchards and crops, growing for centuries, fishing fleets and everything else an established country has..until it was all stolen from them! Talk about being hood-winked! I want my quarters and dimes back!

      The only thing I remember from 4th grade (in '58) was crouching down under our desks as rehearsal for a nuclear strike. Also creepy but in a very different way. And didn't Kamala just rhapsodize about contributing to growing trees in Israel as a Girl Scout? Propaganda has been ceaseless

      It's insane isn't it. The part that makes me most sick, on top of all the crap, is that it shouldn't matter if they were indeed 'primitive', wandering nomads who never built cities/farms/industries/universities etc. If they sat around flinging poop at each other then they still had the right to the land they inhabited. Your right to exist somewhere on earth on your own terms is not contingent on how many skyscrapers you've built. Reason this part bothers me is that people often defensively reach for any example they can find to prove their worth e.g., "we had the world's first university actually". It doesn't matter... you have the right to exist regardless.

    Only halfway through, but what a great great episode, funny as hell (always), good puns, and great insight into coming out in variety of ways. Super fascinating to hear about deconditioning. I myself never experienced that because the context of being a half-jew, i was never raised with a Jewish education, so it's fascinating especially that the recurring theme is that "It takes a long time" often much longer than people think. Thanks again, Bad Hasbara, for your lifeline to sanity. Whenever forces in my mind (conditioned simply by the western narrative) makes me doubt my anti-zionist position, there's always more information dressed in funniness that reminds me to be true to what it means to be an empathic human without a kind of malignant hasbara tumour in my brain that once in a while says, "don't say genocide".. but it is a genocide. Proud of you guys. Much Love to you both for this crucial PodCast. Plus Jess Saloman is from Montreal!!! my home town!

      In short, zionist armed gangs raided and massacred Palestinian villages and started a mass ethnic cleansing campaign. (Watch tantura)
      The arabs at that time were still crawling out from under their own British/french occupation declared war on Israel as a result.
      The Zionist turned out in hindsight (israeli archives) to have a secret agreement with the jordanian king that their role in the war will be purely theatrical and in return the israelis will let him control the west bank . That way the israelis can focus on the egyptians (basically the only other military in the region ).
      What surprised me even more is just wikipedia how large the militaries were. If i recall the israelis had 3-5x more soldiers than the egyptians and obviously backed by the west with state of the art equipment while the egyptians werent even fully free from the british occupation and were fighting with old equipment.
      The narrative of the small weak jewish state fighting off all the arabs turned out to be the large well equipped zionist state fighting the occupied smaller egyptian forces and a few militias after Zionists massacred and ethnically cleansed palestine.

The other is to largely maintain those material conditions on behalf of those who made such conditions possible. But as always, love your interviews, humor and commentary.

    Neil Degrasse Tyson (I may have misspelled his name) has a whole talk on how "the Muslims" compared to "the Jews" have hardly any Nobel prizes. I think it's in his talk about the naming of the stars and astronomy. It is, I believe, on how Muslims were once "advanced" and how one person basically changed the trajectory of Islam.
