This is a break from our typical episodes about Israel, Palestine, and the Hamas war and instead is a reading and analysis of the many intense comments we've received as writers on our Medium articles.

What begins as a benign conversation quickly evolves into intense discussion and debate about the various themes involved in these comments including morality, antisemitism, and the nature of warfare.

Despite this, we both manage to have some laughs while reading and analyzing the comments of our admiring (and many more not-so-admiring) fans.
