Zach Foster, a historian of Palestine and founder of the Palestine Nexus newsletter, joins the discussion to unpack the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He dives into the implications of the Oslo Accords and the realities faced by Palestinians in various territories. The conversation critiques media narratives and the disconnect in political rhetoric regarding the humanitarian issues at play. With a touch of humor, they also explore U.S.-Israel relations and the historical elements of Zionism, all while emphasizing the urgent need for genuine understanding and advocacy.

Matt and Daniel are joined by author, actor and playwright Najla Said to discuss dueling depictions of the last moments of Yahya Sinwar, Benjamin Netanyahu’s supposed fear of sharing space with Najla's father Edward Said, and whether an inveterate torturer can know his victim as a mother knows her child (probably not).Please donate to MAP: Medical Aid for Palestinians: https://www.map.org.uk/Find Najla Said online at https://www.najlasaid.com/Subscribe to the Patreon https://www.patreon.com/badhasbaraSubscribe/listen to Bad Hasbara wherever you get your podcasts.Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5RDvo87OzNLA78UH82MI55Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bad-hasbara-the-worlds-most-moral-podcast/id1721813926Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/bad-hasbara/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Daniel Maté is on assignment, so Matt and Producer Adam discuss whether Israeli soldiers’ deaths in their assault on Lebanon constitute deaths or “murders,” as Senator Marsha Blackburn claims, the kayfabe of the US State Department expressing diplomatic concern to Israel, and a solemn goodbye to the celebrities we lost along the way.Please donate to Muslim Aid USA: https://www.mausa.org/Subscribe to the Patreon https://www.patreon.com/badhasbaraSubscribe/listen to Bad Hasbara wherever you get  your podcasts.Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5RDvo87OzNLA78UH82MI55Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bad-hasbara-the-worlds-most-moral-podcast/id1721813926Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/bad-hasbara/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
