It's more affordable than anything else out there.

Other test services charge 500, even a thousand dollars sometimes or more.

Oh,

And by the way, not only did superpower reduce their price to $199, but for a limited time, our listeners can get an additional $20 off when they use the promo code problem.

Just head to superpower.com and use that promo code problem at checkout for $20 off your membership.

All right, let's get back into the show.

Okay, what's far more important to understand than the history this is, because history ain't that important, Rob, obviously.

What's far more important to understand, and I think it really is the only thing worth considering, is what the current inhabitants of Israel, the Palestinian territories, and the surrounding Arab states want out of life, not what they pretend to want or what a handful of the royal families want while their populations want something quite different.

What do the Jews and the Muslims in the region really yearn to accomplish?

What are they willing to sacrifice for?

What are they willing to die for?

And what are they willing to let their children die for?

When we focus on the present this way, if we're being honest, we must concede that there are two very different realities on either side of this conflict, culturally, psychologically, ethically, spiritually, in every way that matters.

Yes, Israel has its religious fanatics too.

they aren't the same sort of fanatics we find in hamas or hezbollah and they're far less representative of the surrounding culture none with notwithstanding everything that can be said against prime minister netanyahu the israeli far right and the settlers in the west bank and there is much to condemn i believe the following remains true

If the Palestinians laid down their arms, there would be peace.

There could be a two-state solution.

There could even be a one-state solution.

It wouldn't matter.

If the Palestinians simply stopped killing Jews and stopped building a culture that celebrates pointless murder and martyrdom as its highest value, there could be a diverse, tolerant, and prosperous society between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
