    Some podcast I was listening to this last week (I think it was the Deprogram) talked about the IDF using fast track promotion systems to help with propaganda campaigns. Get somebody who normally rides a desk a really high sounding rank, put them in front of a camera and let the Rear Admiral General Secretary of the IDF (23, F) talk about how its okay to bomb hospitals and ambulances because … HAMMAS!

        They’ve got an interesting perspective with two of them growing up around christian zionists. Highly recommend people tuning into them if they aren’t.

          If you like the recent episodes and want another good listen, go back to last year when the floods hit eastern Kentucky.

        Actually haven’t listened to the Trillbillies in months… I’m pretty confident that where I heard it from was the Decolonize Palestine episode 105 (106?) of The Deprogram.
