It's the people's house. And right now the people's house is an ugly, partisan, divisive, performative place. Sound familiar? It should.

371. Hey Israel, Don't Respond 15.04.2024 10:07
I love the state of Israel. And I think it would be a brilliant move by Israel to completely ignore what Iran did over the weekend and not respond at all. Instead, just focus on finishing the job in Gaza and defeating Hamas. It would shock the world. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
