Did Derek Chauvin Get a Fair Trial?

A new documentary maintains that Derek Chauvin was not given a fair trial. We interview doc creator Liz Collin. In my view this is as much about the trial as it is the right to discuss it. You be the judge. Here is a folder of some docs, including the Minnesota training manual. I do NOT endorse or know the reliability of these studies. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10MnO6P-T6z5SVtveGKKACBuueJzU80Xf?usp=drive_link Doc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFPi3EigjFA&t=3414s Comments to p...

Ken Roth - We Have It Out! Human Rights Watch Director Counters Charge of Anti-Israel Bias.

He walks off after about 35 minutes of a 60-minute interview. In our view, this is an expose of the deep bias that permeates Human Rights Watch. You be the judge. Roth even goes as far as to claim that Israeli soldiers knowingly shot at people speaking in Hebrew. Ironically, we also offer an apology to Norman Finkelstein here. This is quite an episode. 04:44 Dershowitz was unfair to Finkelstein 13:05 Roth Intro 16:02 Proportionality 47:59 Israel Shoots White Flags and its Own Hostages Podcast@Co...

Hamas and Israel - A contentious interview with Professor Rashid Khalidi

Columbia professor Khalidi felt this interview was an "ambush." You be the judge. We discuss all matters Palestine. *Two clarifications: 1. I think we talked past each other a bit on the issue of "indigenous people." I wish I had that part to do over. 2. He said the Israelis were killed in "settlements," he didn't use the word "settlers". I don't really think there's a difference though. 00:00:19: Ambushed? 00:09:52 The Hospital "Strike" 00:14:13 False Casualty Counts? 00:23:00 Has Israel Really...
