0:00.0 | Welcome to Jack of In Friends, I'm Anna Casparian joined by my lovely co-host Nando Vila, |
0:22.0 | and we're about to have a giant show for you. Obviously we're going to touch heavily |
0:27.5 | on what's happening in Israel and the violence against Palestinians and Gaza and East Jerusalem. |
0:33.9 | Nando, there's so much, and we have our decode segments as well, but to be quite honest |
0:39.8 | with you, I just want to talk about Israel. It's horrifying. It's the peep show mean |
0:53.0 | over and over again, are we the baddies? Are we the baddies? Because this is just unspeakable |

2:16.5 | anything about it, because no one's going to do anything about it. |
2:19.5 | Yeah, you know, it's interesting, because you mentioned the US media's coverage of the |
2:27.8 | ongoing conflict, you know, throughout decades, and how it's very much been a one-sided |
2:33.1 | perspective, that makes it appear as though it's just simply Israel that's under attack, |
2:40.2 | that the rocket fire coming from Hamas is completely unprovoked, but considering what |
