Really? Ex-Head of Mossad claims "We were surprised by the scope of the tunnels, although we knew, but little did they [sic] know how extensive they were. We were surprised by some of their munitions." Completely unbelievable. As is the claim they didn’t have a response plan for such an attack.

Alastair, I think Eoin Murphy - former cabinet level minister in Ireland - would be a great Leading interviewee. He’s written a stingingly honest memoir about his failure in office and his breakdown. https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/artsandculture/arid-41514524.html

Really poor choice. Really poor interview.

Listened and stopped when Arad drew equivalence between the utter destruction of Gaza and decimation of its population to damage done to what he himself described as ‘villas’ in two small Israeli settlements. Conversation then moved on. Understand you tried to push on Gaza, but still disappointing

I listened to the whole podcast; you didn't challenge him at all. No mention of what's going on in the West Bank, no mention of collective punishment - a war crime - no mention of UNRWA, no mention of the deliberate and systematic destruction of infrastructure across Gaza.

Exactly, very little push back at all. Let him play the victim as always. Very disappointing Allister and Rory.

Came to the comments exactly for this reason. I won't bother with a listen then, I get enough propaganda for other media sources to have to sit through anymore.

A war criminal platforming another war criminal. How cosy

By my count you've had one Palestinian on Leading and now three Israelis, not counting friends of Israel such as Tony Klug and Ed Kessler. Are there no Palestinian leaders you think are worth speaking to? Consider it a query for Question Time.

Disappointed but no surprised by the lack of real challenge or integrity……

I get the need to hear all sides and opinions, but time and time again he lied and miss represented without real pushback.
