Thank you for doing this series, it's crucially important. You are addressing an area (Piers's obsession with Israel and the Jews who appear on the show to discuss it) that I have been scratching my head about for awhile.
I love Jonathan Conricus and have written entire articles on him (I consider myself his #1 fan =P). Yet lately, I have also been questioning why he continues to continue his appearances on the Piers Springer show. At the beginning of this crisis I found it virtuous because he was a calm, refreshing voice of truth among rabid antisemites, but since his latest appearance against Chunk Ughyur--which was like the 3rd appearance Jonathan has done opposite that clown--it just looked to me like he was voluntarily returning to an abuser. It might be time for Zionist Jews just to boycott the show entirely. There's actually a hashtag for that now -- #neverpiers
Thanks so much, Jill. What you express is exactly why I was motivated to do this series. Well - I didn't intend for it to be a series from the outset - the project took on a life of its own. Each episode is really super - cuz of my interviewees. Fantastic people and so thoughtful. Pls boost and amplify this however you can. many thanks. vb
Piers has embraced the anti-Israel mob mentality that we are observing in the streets of London, New York and other western cities. The haters are not interested in dialogue - they merely want to scream their hateful rhetoric.
But we can be proud of Jonathan and Natasha and the others who represent Israel and the Jewish people with such incredible dignity, intelligence and professionalism. Piers and his low brow guests are shameful examples of what the world has come to of late. I suggest we redirect our attention to podcasts like State of Tel Aviv, Call Me Back, Ask Haviv Rettig Gur Anything and the many other serious podcasts which feature brilliant, knowledgable and respected and respectful guests. Thank you for highlighting this issue. It makes us realize that we shouldn’t waste our time on garbage.
Thanks, as always, for the feedback, Pearl. Whether or not to participate is a bit of a raging debate at the moment. Bottom line is that if one is offended by Piers' approach to really important issues - and who he chooses to platform - then I agree. People should vote with their views. There is no equivalency between a gem like Jonathan Conricus and Ana Kasperian, for example. And that's where it all really falls apart for me. Show your guests some baseline respect.
So important! Look at the sewage on YouTube. It would be better for some start-up to put bots to work flooding the comments on such platforms with facts (or reporting them en mass) rather than have our precious decent advocates get pulled into that mud-pit. Thank you for articulating so clearly this depressing phenomenon.
I think we're at a turning point......after what's gone on in the last month on his show.......people are pausing and rethinking their participation. But it's a much bigger issue.......society broadly should and must care about this stuff.

Keep up the great work, Vivian.
