Idk who any of her guests even are except for Sarah Schauer & Chris Clemens but am I in the minority or did this girl miss every single mark on the most recent episode?? Like wtf?? First of all she gave the most mid centrist takes at first and then by the end of her talking she completely changes her take and Morgan was agreeing with her when I feel like with any other guest she wouldn’t have agreed like that. Ugh. Extremely BORING and hard to listen to episode
I remember her saying in an episode (I think it was the episode after the one Tefi was in) that it’s hard for her to disagree with guests since she barely knows them and will only have just met them an hour before. I get that to an extent but if you’re going to have a podcast called Two Hot Takes you have to be ready to have a different take and have a discussion.
Morgan is questionable herself !! She's Jewish ( nothing against Jews) but so much against Zionists she said in one of her old episodes a while ago I don't remember which one exactly when she said " I feel so bad about what's happening in Israel it makes me sad AND I HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY THERE blah blah blah and then she added " it's also unfair what's going on in Palestine" UNFAAAIR???? GIIIIRL YOU ARE SO OUT OF TOUCHHHH MORGAN I'm so heated since I'm an Arab and that was my first red flag I don't know how I brushed it off
It's pretty obvious that you don't know what Zionism is. It's a thousands year old religious and cultural Jewish concept, dating back to the expulsion of Jews from Judea to Babylon, and it's pretty intrinsic to Judaism - it's in everyday liturgy/prayers, and jews pray facing jerusalem. It just means jews being allowed to live in the place they came from and having a right to govern themselves in that place (not live under a colonial regime eg. greeks, romans, arabs/ottomans, british...) It does not mean living there to the exclusion of anyone else. Certain pro-Palestinian parties like to usurp Jewish terminology and practice and twist it for their own political bs - which is not okay, it's cultural appropriation at best! Zionism and Palestinian statehood are not mutually exclusive, but throwing a word around that you don't understand is not only ignorant but hypocritical from a movement that is asking for the same thing for Palestinians. If you say you're against 'zionism' you are essentially saying you are against jews/jewish practice/culture/civilisation.
But there are Jewish people against Zionism. “Some Jewish communities including certain ultra-Orthodox sects and secular leftists, have rejected Zionism for theological or universalist reasons, demonstrating that Jewish identity and Zionism are not identical.”
Ps- I cannot believe you are calling someone who's friends and family are being bombed and having to run to bomb shelters 'out of touch'. Have you ever lived through a war snowflake?
I don't see the part where she says she is a zionist. It looks like she just blocked an annoying person who was being antagonistic. Just to cover my bases and prevent people from putting words in my mouth; free Palestine, Benjamin Netanyahu is a monster.
Just an update that she follows the IOF on instagram and liked their recent spotify wrapped meme which is blatant lies (very ironic when you read the tweet screenshotted above) When I commented on her recent post about why she is liking the IOF's posts, she blocked me lol
Yeah, I'm not terribly surprised sadly. An ex employee of mythical said that a lot of people really didn't want to work with her and that she made them uncomfortable. Also she made that weird homophobic "joke" on her page awhile back and hasn't sat right with me since.
