The question I had going into this episode was about the asymmetrical reactions between the pro-Palestinian protesters and the pro-Israel and Zionist protesters. (Those seem to be subtly distinct groups so I’m trying to think of them as separate but related.)

I don't have any solid answers but there seems to be something there. 

I know the Zionists keep saying that all the Palestine supporters are dumb, brainwashed, communists. And the criticism of the pro-Israel counter-protesters is that they're all bloodthirsty, colonizing, child-murderers.

That's what's been on my mind while organizing this episode.

Last episode, we talked about some extremely creepy people who think White people should be having as many kids as possible. This time around, we’re gonna start off by talking about some people who’re coming up with ways to justify killing them.

We’re not talking about people doing it themselves. These guys don’t need to get their hands dirty with actual murder. They want to let the law do it.
