As an israeli, this was the best discussion I've heard in English about this subject. Jordan, I'm a long time listener and student (started watching your videos around 2014 I think) and you've done a great deal to help me understand myself, the world and other people living in it. Thank you very much, I dont expect less from you or your guests. I hope in 10 years I'll be able to say the same again :)
