I listened to the second installment of "A Path to Peace" and found it extremely disappointing and disheartening. In what is supposed to be a dialogue about how to reach peace between Israel and Palestine RFK chose a very hawkish zionist ex-mossad officer, which is fine. But to represent the Palestinian voice he chose a British-Palestinian moderate who clearly didn't even understand the issues very well whose entire analysis was that Palestinians should just give Israeli's whatever they want and that Palestinians don't have nearly any good reason to even be aggrieved. This essentially created a dynamic in which RFK hosted a debate about how to create peace between Isreal and Palestine with two pro-Israel voices who just agreed on everything and who and gave the actual Palestinian side of things no voice at all. This was somewhat similar to what I experienced in listening to the first episode, but much worse.

I know you didn't ask me for my opinion on this, but i certainly would be curious to hear yours. And i'd still like very much to hear what Eisenstein had to say.

I think what I would like to know, at a basic level, is has the RFK campaign taken donations or other types of support at any point from AIPAC or other Israeli lobby groups.
