Intro

Israel has always operated a powerful and effective propaganda system - they even have a name for it, “Hasbara.” But in the age of social media the Jewish state finds itself falling behind in the propaganda battle as the ongoing genocide in Gaza and general treatment of Palestinians becomes too horrific for the rest of the world to ignore or Israel to paper over.

Jimmy speaks with formerly Gaza-based Palestinian-Egyptian journalist Youmna El Sayed about her reporting and why the tide has turned against Israel in the information war.

Plus segments on the bloodthirsty commentators populating Israeli television, House Speaker Mike Johnson’s disingenuous response to Elon Musk’s criticism of the budget bill and Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy’s unhinged reaction to antisemitic jokes. 

Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Mike MacRae and Aaron Maté. And a phone call from Douglas Murray!
