Is the US actually turning against Israel?

In today's episode, Jack is back on hosting duties and is joined by Nadja and Rory, as they discuss their underreported stories from around the world and have a chat discussing whether Israel has begun to lose their main international allies, as well as the usual instalment of the world leader's leaderboard!

Its great to see Nadja more relaxed and comfortable on camera, her roasting zac and jack is funny too 😄 Also i like the animated leader board but i dont love the low frame rate animation, i wish you'd consider a smoother and faster one 😊

[@mattematt]

The slow animation on the board reminded me of doing PowerPoint presentations at school and making really slow animations where every letter appeared one after the other

[@johanneskarlsson3859]

33:14 Two middle fingers, almost a "fu*k you" and moved Macron down. Zac better not stop anymore of Nadjas video ideas 😂

[@thepatriarchy819]

"The war on the ground is getting Rafha"

[@lifedeservesachance]

I love Zac. Just miss ranting. He is so knowledgeful with different observation. A nice point of view I remember when some of the episode he is the host and he talks more than the guest. Just absolutely love that. It is funny, entertaining and insightful

[@mma0911]

Last thing that hapoened in Canada: lots of wrangling over the carbon tax and the new budget, biggest discourse around the capital gains tax increase

[@jonasastrom7422]

I think a general realignment for the entire board is in order. Alot of those people are too high or too low on the board and judging them by this week or next weeks news won't make the board more accurate

[@fchouzal]

Just out of curiosity, what’s that bright pink “X” at Rory feet for??? Hahahah Keep up the good podcast. Lots of support here from Brazil.

[@RatchetSly]

It's probably a bit of stage marking, showing where the bottom of the camera frame is.

[@tobypettit6417]

Tells the people setting the stage where to put his chair/mic

[@matthewzacher8879]

I love the laid back vibes in this one! Suggestion for the leaderboard; instead of having the heads "float" in maybe have them all screen in at the same time? Cleaner transition? Personal recommendation from Canada, who is still here.

[@taylor_drift1]

I always look forward to this podcasts in the morning!

[@aDifferentJT]

I rather not knowing what the underreported stories are until they’re said

[@johanneskarlsson3859]

Love the "axis" joke in the beginning.

[@jackdavenport4303]

27:02 was that a pun?

[@cyberrb25]

I do hope you can do a more in-depth video on the Pedro Sánchez issue. Especially, because the SLAPP issues that are happening to the President have been happening for a long while, and many, rightly but absolutely untimely, have pointed out they were retailated by that union/syndicate (honestly, they feel like a syndicate than an actual, proper union), and have happened partly thanks to some communicators and certain judges who are definitely not upholding certain standards and rules, like the fact that a popular accusation* needs to do their own independent investigation and have their own sources, which in the most current case, Manos Limpias feels like Poncio Pilatos washing his hands from the responsibility of their own actions. *Popular accusation is a judicial figure that lets citizens and associations denounce someone for a crime even if they are not the victims of said crime. This is a figure that does make sense to have if and when you consider that the public prosecutors or victims aren't prosecuting something you believe is worthy of such, but we've seen time and again that figure being devalued to the use in order to do probing into someone, and that also be used to smear the defendant in the public conversation with certain outlets.

[@dr.victorvs]

Their lying about the UNRWA was a massive hit to their credibility.

[@archangel2633]

So what's incorrect about the claims of the number (3times) of employees versus UNHCR (who is takink care of 20 times the number of people). About the curiculum of the schools where UNWRA employees call for genocide? About the whatsup group where hundreds of UNWRA employees were celebrating the attacks? What about the UN issued equipment worn by terrorists? What about the known Hamas members on the payroll of UNWRA? Seems the blindness about this organisation continues in spite of years of reporting on this by indeprndent organisations.

[@matthewparker9276]

They've lied time and again. More importantly, it's a hit to the credibility of all the western governments that immediately suspended unwra funding on the baseless allegations.

[@tauhidershadKUFNAFLORAN]

Since when did Israel have any sort of credibility?

[@DaDARKPass]

Who lied about Unrwa?

[@matthewparker9276]

@@DaDARKPass Israel did.

[@Kristaliorn]

Great episode, cheers.

[@Ellie-8410]

Love the graphic for the world leader leaderboard!

[@genralfang4309]

From Canada: we are still here! The Trudeau administration did release a new budget which is a little bit of everything and nothing at the same time. Not a lot going on newswise though

[@dr.victorvs]

I really recommend everyone look up Israel's Samson Option, which is their nuclear policy. Europeans most of all, especially Italians. It's crazy enough that I can't describe it here on KZbin.

[@aaronfine734]

Is it crazier than Frances warning shot policy

[@dr.victorvs]

​​@@aaronfine734 Yes. It's both a "screw the region if I stop getting military aid" and a "screw Italy if I die" policy.

[@freddiepatterson1045]

You are just scaremongering. Ever nuclear power has a Samson option equivalent and is obviously not going to be used

[@freddiepatterson1045]

​@@dr.victorvsThe Samson option has nothing to do with military aid

[@AlchemistOfNirnroot]

Israel doesn't recognise their nuclear weapons. They definitely don't have a publicly known nuclear deterrent. It's a made up story basically.

[@kaiying74]

I want that map.

[@conanrocksmysox]

Please actually either bring JJ on for a Canada segment or do underreported stories from there

[@AlekWheeler]

How about bring a REAL journalist, instead of Skippy KZbinLover

[@Dog_One]

Doing nothing is the current Canadian government main policy and has been for a while

[@funghi2606]

33:10 Calma calma 😂

[@Crair_Hynafol]

If he was on the board, Vaughan Gething would have to be moving down. He's having a terrible time with donation scandals at the moment.

[@joshuachapman247]

Canada is still here, politely keeping quiet.

[@archangel2633]

Seems the idea is regurgitated for months now. Is it reality or wishing?

[@jmac5303]

Canada is still as much here as it ever was...

[@QuietAsHeimdal]

A couple of bits of feedback for Nadja: 1) You speak clearly, intelligently & with a beautiful voice. 2) Try to limit the "um...you know"s, if you can. You're doing great!!

[@justinwonfor4427]

I think it's more a matter of confidence. I'm sure in a few podcasts time when Nadja and other new members of the TDLR team are more comfortable these critiques will fall away✊

[@agentoffortune3615]

Congress supports Israel, the people do not.

[@RFXZ67966]

Where is Nadja's family background from? She keeps mentioning the Balkans and previously said it was on brand so this feels like a bit of an elephant in a room.

[@mrsigmagrinder8737]

I think she's Serbian

[@DFuxa]

Canada is still here. Why isnt trudeau under the ranking board yet; his party seems destined for its worst polling outcome in the near future.

[@conanrocksmysox]

TLDR clearly isn't getting updates on Canada

[@johnmarshall6684]

Canada is back.....bacon

[@ehudshapira2745]

Nadja said two very wrong things in quick succession: 1. She said Hamas offered a complete cessation of the fighting for releasing all hostages, but that wouldn't happen. What they asked for was 6 weeks of no Israeli presense in the strip, then supposedly they would start to slowly release hostages in exchange for hundreds of terrorists (and we've seen how well they keep their ceasefires). 2. She said that Hezbollah "didn't get involved" in the back and forth with Iran. This went unchallenged even though it is categorically untrue. Hezbollah is involved even outside of the direct back and forth with Iran, it routinely fires into northern israel, and tens of thousands of civilians are displaced because of their involvment.

[@Noryb01]

Also noted that.

[@JosPoortvliet]

@@Noryb01note that both are essentially simplifications of what you note. One can argue the simplification went too far, but I wouldn’t say she was wrong. “It’s more complicated than that” is kind of the default for almost any statement about politics in any case…

[@fchouzal]

What about underreported stories from Brazil??? Lula the Brazilian president is on the board, at the top for god knows how many weeks because everybody forgets him!!!

[@DiscoCol]

Nadja using “y’know” more than a Premiership footballer in this one… 🤔

[@Aragornofmoria]

Woooooo I am the first comment
