Well not a good start: praising Vance's demented anti-abortion, "Christian's are being repressed" and "you can't even burn a Koran these days" segment of the Munich speech. Greenwald noted this applied to anti-Israel speech too which is to his credit, but it's also notable, and not to his credit, that he then gave Vance a pass for completely omitting that from his speech because "it was difficult for him to include it". That was all very MAGA cultish, which is no surprise given the Thiel connection.

I thought Norman was dead on with his comments about Gaza and the likelihood of the apartheid state being given a free hand before all the stages of the "ceasefire" are reached. For the early part of the interview almost every point Norman made GG then had to try and put a positive spin on what Trump was thinking about it ("It would be better for them [the Palesitinans] to be on the border of Jordan, etc." followed with the "Trump might be better" spiel).

N.F. was also right about the limited options for the Palestinians to actually go back to Gaza and rebuild it given the utter destruction perpetrated by the apartheid state. He was also right on the desire for complete ethnic cleansing from the zionists; "the racial derangement", "this country is completely unhinged", as he put it. Fairly depressing but I think accurate.

He also didn't pull any punches when he said he in many ways modern-day israel has exceeded the evil of the nazi regime. He's right on with how far gone that society is and the "most moral" nonsense they constantly spout; the whole thing needs to become a pariah instead of the scared lamb that it is now.

I would have liked to hear the rest of it, but as you say, paywall intervened.

Fairly downbeat N.F. but, sad as it is to say, I think he's correct.
