Top Episodes Quotes
- “There is no incentive for Hamas to accept it, and it's not going to lead to anything positive. Anybody who starts from a functioning moral compass cannot go along with a proposal like that.“ by Omar Badar
- “The contradiction is just so obvious and so tragic and so, frankly, embarrassing to the United States across the world. And something's got to give at some point, and this is where we've upped the ante to a maximum. And if Biden folds one more time, I mean, just at this point, and it's difficult to put into words, help.“ by Omar Badar
- “For this to be a time in which the US Congress is willing to give Netanyahu some backing, I think. Is incredibly tragic, inviting him to come speak to them.“ by Omar Badar
