Matt and Daniel are joined by AJ+ journalist Mohammad Alsaafin to break in Israel's new term for hasbara, to ponder a few of the many reasons Alan Dershowitz might be denied a Polish delicacy, and to wonder whether taking a photograph of a photographer taking a photograph makes the photograph the first photographer was photographing not a photograph at all.Please donate to Gaza Direct: https://gazadirect.comJoin the patreon at https://www.patreon.com/badhasbaraBisan From Gaza playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZd3QRtSy5LP4IgJ3sX2LhF3tuBbFFbKJ&si=Vt17CeFepyZ4_ETiHow Israeli Apartheid Destroyed My Hometown, from AJ+: https://youtu.be/aEdGcej-6D0?si=FUPo9fymKOKCVCm3See Francesca Fiorentini and Matt Lieb August 28 in Houston, TX: https://bit.ly/mattfranhtxSubscribe to the Patreon https://www.patreon.com/badhasbaraWhat’s The Spin playlist: https://spoti.fi/4kjO9tLSubscribe/listen to Bad Hasbara wherever you get your podcasts.Spotify https://spoti.fi/3HgpxDmApple Podcasts https://apple.co/4kizajtSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/bad-hasbara/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
