Like many of you, I listened to Middle East Eye editor-in-chief, David Hearst, television host Bassem Youssef and, indeed, lawyer and columnist Ben Shapiro about their various takes on the ongoing massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. The scary thing is  Shapiro openly calling for ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
