I am a Jew and i actually find this show inspiring to me and hopeful that there are so many that care enough about Israel to try and help it save itself from itself and to be the moral people that i know we are.
@Andrew: OR, you could listen the show above (or read either of the authors' books) and provide any kind of evidence that the concepts of pinkwasking and homonationalism are anti-semitic and "hate-filled"
The concept of Pinkwashing and Homonationalism is just another way to demonize, delegitimize and isolate Israel because of their relatively positive treatment of gay men and lesbians. This cynical, hate filled concept is used to cover the rabid and overt anti semitism of its participants and is disparaging to the LGBT community.
