• Listened to many, many hours of this guy’s in depth history of the Isreal-Palestine situation. He’s done a one-off on Ukraine. A well researched run down with a very different slant to the mass media story. This has probably all been covered here but interesting none the less.

    I listened to this, and also to a couple of his others. I only looked into it in a fairly cursory manner, but the guy (Darryl Cooper) appears to have a fairly alt right / Trumpist presence on twitter which makes me uncomfortable in his research and presentation of facts.

    Once I found that out I found it quite tricky to listen to because (rightly or wrongly) I don't trust his sources or interpretation - it certainly put me off the Israel / Palestine series.

  • Ah that’s a shame. I haven’t looked into his politics, just discovered him and the Israel series when looking for a good overview / background. FWIW if Trump is pro Israel Cooper isn’t towing the line in this case. His general theme is us and French fucked it from the start.

  • That explains why he was keen to have Tucker Carlson from Fox News join him for an interview.

    I read through half the transcript but when I checked some of the claims he made found them to be wrong or misleading.
