I'm from Denmark. It really annoys me when some people say that health care is free here. It is not free. We pay some of the highest taxes in the world. I don't think a lot of Americans can comprehend how much in taxes we pay for just about anything, but the health care and social systems work. Corruption is really low in Denmark. Politicians get absolutely crucified if they engage in corruption because we pay so much in taxes.

I had to stop listening when they denied Israel was committing genocide. There's too much evidence of their crimes to simply handwave it away anymore.

It is difficult to understand how anyone can look at the current status of Gaza and not consider the term genocide to describe it.

The Pope recited the names of 20 thousand children killed in Gaza, what excuse does Israel have for that?

I started listening to you and was interested to hear you thoughts. You lost me when you said isreal wasn't commiting genocide . That is exactly what they are doing. The truth is the world's biggest state sponsor of terrorism are the USA and Isreal.
