| 0:00.0 | Welcome to this episode of the award winning best of a left podcast in which we shall |
| 0:07.0 | learn about the peace plan devised by the US and Israel with absolutely no input from |
| 0:16.0 | Palestinians, plus some additional discussion of how things are going in Israel and Palestine, |
| 0:22.0 | not well, and how opinion has begun to shift dramatically within the Democratic Party. |
| 0:28.2 | Clubs today come from a democracy now, counter-spin, deconstructed, sojourner truth radio, and the real news. |
| 0:42.2 | Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced plans to move ahead with the |
| 0:47.1 | next thing about 30% of the occupied West Bank after Israel was given the green light to do so by |

| 1:53.0 | resolves the risk of Palestinian statehood to Israel's security. Today, Israel has taken a giant |
| 2:01.7 | step toward peace. Yesterday, Prime Minister Netanyahu informed me that he is willing to endorse the |
| 2:08.7 | vision as the basis for directing negotiations. And I will say the general also endorsed and very |
| 2:17.5 | strongly with the Palestinians a historic breakthrough. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu |
| 2:26.4 | praised the US deal. For too long, far too long, the very heart of the land of Israel, |
| 2:35.4 | where our patriots prayed, our profits preached, and our king's ruled, has been outrageously branded |
