Brilliant, honest, clear

Einat is brilliant, clear, and unrelenting. Than you so much for adding this much needed deep analysis of a forever twisted and misrepresented reality. Einat will be remembered for decades to come.

Informative and thoughtful

Insightful thoughtful and informative podcast!! Love it

Thoughtful and eye-opening

This podcast is a long awaited tool for understanding and analysis for the modern, progressive, Jew. It answers the prayers of many for a reasonable and balanced interpretation of the issues of the Zionist movement and clear-eyed response to its detractors.

Einat Superfan

My only complaint is that there aren’t more episodes. I love learning from Einat’s essays and how the situation has evolved in the time since they were written. Blake is a very competent questioner and I appreciate the multigenerational aspect.

Out out out

This show is dangerous, horrific, and Zionism will fall, soon.
Dg830

Thoughtful and insightful

I’ve listened to almost every episode and I’ve learned so much from each one. As a liberal Zionist concerned with rising levels of antisemitism on the Left, while also wishing for sovereignty for the Palestinians, it has been an enormous relief to find such thoughtful and down-to-earth discussions on such a contentious topic. Anyone who appreciates nuance and hopes for peace would find this podcast insightful and engaging.

Strong and powerful

This is a great podcast. Einat uses her voice powerfully to thoughtfully and artfully articulate each subject that she presents in her episodes. I have learned much, and I look forward to ever new episode.

I have learned so much from this podcast

Einat Wilf may be this smartest analyst and historian on the scene today.

I finally feel like someone is speaking up for me

I cried happy tears when I listened to the first episode. Blake and Einat are bravely telling it like it is. Thank you for reclaiming Zionism. This podcast helped me so much in a painful week of dealing with a lot of online ugliness. I wish that I had had as much guts as Blake when I was in my twenties.

Unserious propaganda

Consider reading instead the works of Avi Shlaim and Ilan Pappé. This pod is just unlettered, embarrassing nonsense.
MarylandTransplant

Thoughtful, clear, and honest

When so much of the west has lost their collective mind, I really appreciate Einat’s intellectual clarity.
wunderkind87

A perfect podcast for these times

As the Israel-Hamas war has raged, I’ve been searching for those voices who seek a peace that recognizes the dignity and right to self determination for Israelis and Palestinians alike. The conversations between Blake & Dr. Wilf are illuminating, thoughtful, and necessary for these challenging times.

Enlightening and entertaining

I found this podcast randomly through Reddit of all places. It’s a fantastic bit of information that should be enjoyed by Jews and Gentiles if they want to better understand Israel, Judaism, and the Jewish identify in the Middle East. Thank you for creating this podcast and providing valuable information.
Israel Is home

Good Content Needs a Better Voice

I would find someone with a better “radio” voice, or a voice actor. I often find it difficult to listen solely for this reason. Sorry!

Another liberal Zionist with nothing interesting to say

Racist ramblings under the guise of nuanced Zionist intellectualism to justify the unjustifiable

Brilliant

Anything Einat and Blake do is spot on. They don’t miss. Listen if you’re a Jew or care about Jews
soft talking

Great first episode

Very interesting and enlightening conversation. I can really relate to both your stories about experiences with anti-Zionism. Can’t wait for future episodes!
