John Rothmann, KGO's ace political guru and Middle East historian is on standby on KGO Radio this Saturday if there's any development (s) in the ongoing US/Iranian relationship--it is tense and getting more so.
More than likely, Rothmann will be in the KGO studio this late afternoon/evening. I'll update more specifically later if the situation merits.
UPDATE 11: 27 PT
Missiles hit Green Zone in Baghdad, this development may accelerate Rothmann in KGO seat
To say what? "There's no place I'd rather be than right here with you"?
ReplyDeleteThe military are on stand by, too!!
ReplyDeleteI’ll be eager to hear Rothman’s take on this act of terror by the USA. If he puts on his zionist hat I’ll turn him off faster than you can say matzah ball
ReplyDeleteZionist hat, really? John is Jewish and a strong supporter of Israel, as am I, I'm not Jewish, but lived in Israel, many hosts on various radio shows are supporter of Israel, mostly conservative. Are they Zionist too? You comment comes of as anti semetic.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, there is no such thing as "anti-semetic". The word is "anti-Semitic".Both Jews and Palestinians are semitic peoples.John has proudly proclaimed his Zionism. It's not something he is ashamed of in any way.Why would you think that.? One is free in this country, as well as in others, to support the promotion of the Jewish state.That's called Zionism..See dictionary. you should call his show and ask him if he's a Zionist. He will confirm the obvious.
DeleteHi Christine! Every time I tune into John he is saying, "President of the United States", "Lyndon B. Johnson".
DeleteBrilliant guy but often unnecessarily wordy. Doesn't the program manager advise him on this?...
As for Zionism, you also need to mention that it has negative prejudicial connotations. Rarely, if ever, hear a Palestinian proclaim themselves a "Zionist".
8:05's post sound like he is negative on John, when John supports Israel. Sorry if my spelling is not up to your standards, but English is my second language. I do the best I can, I knew very little English when I arrived here as an au pair from Denmark, two summers after I lived on a kibbutz. I know Jews and Palestinians are both semitic people, but the fact is when callers or commenters accuse John of being a Zionist it is usually because the don't like his defense of Israel. John is and has always been my favorite host on KGO, along with Gene Burns, I'm so glad he is back full time, I listen every chance I get.
DeleteKGO is lucky to have John Rothman on their staff. The Middle East is one of his specialties
