2. (00:17:54) WWE's The Boogeyman IS a scary guy Morgan! Mornin from yer Rudi
3. (00:18:04) Local news, here's what I came for
4. (00:18:54) "Good" morning. So many layers of grief going on. fear at how fascism and war interests are gaining ground on the bodies of Israelis and Palestinians who don't wield power.
5. (00:20:53) Woke up early to hear y'all 😜 -AJ
6. (00:21:04) Good morning fiancés. Love y'all. There's so much context missing from Isreal coverage. This isn't a war, it's a pummeling. Crystal. PS here's black cat Bacon loving on his foster brother
7. (00:21:52) Good morning finances. Sorry I wasn't present last week, want you to know that I always listen later if I miss you live, and I appreciate the call out for not texting last week. Unfortunately you all missed my birthday last Friday. I'm here and always listening, Jon
8. (00:34:23) "Aggressively Apathetic" is my "bottles the mind". -Rudes
9. (00:48:18) Lol I thought you were going to say Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins ... can't help you with Robert Palmer 😆
10. (00:54:27) worlds 3rd biggest military if i'm not wrong -carlos
11. (01:00:50) Thank YOU for this deeper context. I've been floored at how few outlets are sharing this history.
12. (01:10:26) Not a buzz feed quiz 🤣
13. (01:10:35) Please remember that a lot of Jewish people support Palestinian rights. A few years back some 500,000 people, most of them Jewish, took to the streets in Israel to demonstrate on behalf of the Palestinian people. That would be equivalent to 21 million people showing up for a single demonstration in the US.
14. (01:11:33) also Justin briber said "prepaying (praying *) for Israel" and posted a photo of Palestine lmao. no people deserve to die. bottom line. HOWEVER i'm not In the business of blaming the oppressed. hot take I think the USA should pull the mask off and do what we actually care about which is selling arms and power so let's give palestine an iron dome and let 'em duke it out on equal strengths. so we can pick up the rubble. hate that ppl make it a moral issue like that's what the US actually cares about. that's obviously not the case. if it were about morals the same standards would be upheld for everybody.
15. (01:12:42) Stole my words on the anti-Zionist/anti-Semitic thing. As ethically (Ethnic*) jewish I have family that their gut reaction is to be pro-Israel especially with the history of what has happened and is happening to jewish people around the world. But people are not the government and hitting the next person cause you were hit gets us no where
16. (01:13:57) Saw someone share this on Instagram. A psychologist with a massive audience… The narrative and propaganda spreads like wildfire.
17. (01:14:59) Also we cannot miss -- especially as US citizens who should be paying very close attention -- that the increasing neo fascism of the Israeli government is directly harming Israeli people too and curtailing their rights and safety.
18. (01:16:08) The end game of oppressing Palestinians includes oppressing Israelis too. It's the same song across the world. This is how fascism is winning, by creating the illusion of conflict between peoples when it's really the ruling powers against the people. Also Ambush's levels could really use a boost
19. (01:16:39) NOBODY had more KATANA in their jams than ROBERT PALMER!!! Ambush explaining THE BURBS!!
20. (01:16:54) Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins were both in the band Genesis
21. C'mooooooon!!! Lissen HERE!
22. Y'all doing a great job on this segment. Thank you
23. Israel's average age is 29. Palestine is 19. Who's the oppressed? Crystal
24. (don't gotta read this out loud)
25. y'all doin so good 🫶🏽
26. if you don't mention the fact hamas is not good either people will try and say you're a terror apologist just for pointing out facts
