Add to that the fact that a right-wing billionaire might be a buyer and the whole thing is a mess for average people. Then comedian Gianmarco Soresi on the blacklisting in entertainment over criticizing Israel, and why far right podcasters who've dabbled in anti-semitic conspiracy theories are now calling Israel's actions a genocide.
