Mike has also had Rania Khalek and Abby Martin on his pod, so he's not someone I wanna associate with either

Sorry for my ignorance but why don't you like those two? They are both leftists so does that mean you are a capitalist? Or is their anti-Israel rhetoric too strong? Thanks.

Lol, they're both tankie alt-media stooges. I'm gonna support Palestine, but I'm not throwing Syrians under the bus for it.

What does that mean? I totally don't get it. How do they advocate for Syrians to be thrown under the bus...

Abby and Rania have spent the last decade of their career sneering the Syrian opposition and doing apologetics and war crimes denial for Assad

Oh okay yeah I get that, definitely. I've only been following them since I got into anti-Zionism.

I did notice that the Colonial Outcasts podcast had a pro-Assad stance also. The leftists that are anti-U.S. imperialism may tend to automatically oppose whatever the U.S. supports, such as the rebels in Syria.
