2. I'm surprised that you can't hear it very well.

The audio is very clear on my phone without needing to turn up the volume. He's got an accent, too, but is understandable.

I hope that others can hear it clearly. He has some important things to say.

10. It might have been better if I'd used a more neutral sounding title

like "Background History of Israel/Palestine." As soon as pro Palestinian or pro Hamas people see "debunking" of anti Israel memes," they tune out.

I was familiar with most of this background long before the current war. Some of it happened in my lifetime so I learned what I could about it and read up on the past centuries and millennia from before I was born.

Most critics of Israel in the current war know nothing about the background and easily fall for Palestinian propaganda. It's good that we have a well informed president who knows what he's doing.

Not that I don't criticize Israel. I do, especially Netanyahu. And the West Bank settlements. But I don't base my criticism on Palestinian propaganda. And I do recognize the difference between criticism of Israel and antisemitism, which, unfortunately, is all over the place in anti Israel complaints and accusations. IMO, it's due to pre-existing bias and ignorance of the background and larger picture of the complexities in the region.
