DL Hughley and Vlad shared thoughts on the Middle East, specifically discussing Israel’s privileged status as a U.S. ally. Hughley pointed out that American Christian fundamentalists heavily fund Israel, believing its existence in the Holy Land is necessary for Jesus's return. He argued this viewpoint is prevalent in shaping US foreign policy. Comparing historical instances of displacement and occupation, like in New Zealand and America, to current situations in Israel, Hughley implied similar situations are unfolding in Palestine. Vlad expressed disappointment in Israel's expansionist policies and proposed giving Palestine independence as a solution to counter Hamas's influence. Hughley insisted on the universal rights of self-determination and drew attention to growing empathy among young Jewish Americans towards Palestinian issues. They concluded the conversation by discussing the influential roles artists and athletes could play in aiding international awareness and understanding of conflict situations.
