The Mideast Mess is where we start this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show , but that’s just where we begin when joining Halli is her partner in politics, former White House correspondent and Newsweek and Time alum, Matthew Cooper.

Move over Rep. Liz Cheney, last week’s Number One topic as the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians takes center stage yet again. Seventy-six years later, one of the longest-running arguments in world history remains unsolved. Rockets blare, bombs fall, people die and the Mideast Mess just gets messier and messier. American domestic politics doesn’t help as the Democratic Party appears to be less and less a friend to Israel and more and more in the camp with the named terrorist organization, Hamas. Some say the current flare-up of the hostilities between Hamas and Israel is about personal power, some blaming Israel’s longest serving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his fight for his hold on power and Hamas, in a fight for its hold on Palestinian power over the Palestinian Authority. The issue is complex. Does anti-Semitism play a role? Could a Jewish state be formed today? There are a lot of questions about the Mideast Mess, Covid-19, the January 6 Commission, the Trump criminal prob, the state of the Republican Party… tune in. You might need a chocolate egg cream by the time Halli and Matt are done. Let’s get started.

The Mideast Mess, Covid-19, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kevin McCarthy, the January 6 Commission, anti-Semitism, Israel, Hamas, Palestinian, AOC and the Squad, the cuckoo GOP, President Joe Biden, and what is Halli staying up all night to watch? There’s a lot to get to. Tune in to The Halli Casser-Jayne Show with Matthew Cooper, the podcast available at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com, on all your favorite apps, and on your Alexa device, too.
