Discussing Israel/Gaza on right-wing talk radio

I had an unexpectedly substantive discussion of the Middle East and the "Islamic threat" on "The Hugh Hewitt Show" last night.

    Mommy! Why does everyone agree with Israel all the time?

    I really appreciate your writing on this topic, Mr. Greenwald. I especially liked your piece the New Republic and the poor coverage and lack of discussion of both sides of the Israel/Gaza conflict in America.

    I think you are correct on a lot of issues here. There needs to be more open and critical discussion from both sides and we, as a country, cannot unanimously support ANY country, let alone a country that engages in such controversial actions with our money and weapons. The Israel-America relationship and America's unquestioning endorsement really needs to be reconsidered in this new presidency if anything is to change in the Middle East.

    I linked to your article on my blog and we have quite some interesting discussion going. Check it out if you have a chance:
