Independent journalist and bête
noire of White House press flacks
Sam
Husseini returns to
Bad Faith to break down
the Biden administration's spin over
who is really responsible
for stalling a ceasefire deal that would bring an end to the
carnage in Gaza. Husseini reacts to Hasbara from Jake Tapper
and analyzes how hostages have been cynically weaponized by
pro-Israel actors to generate sympathy for Israel's siege (and oust
progressive news hosts), all while the families of hostages have
clearly said that they are far from Israel's priority. Husseini
also discusses a new UN report out Wednesday that confirms that
claims of mass rape on October 7th are completely unsubstantiated,
but that Israel likely
implemented the "Hannibal
directive" against its own citizens and enacted gross abuses --
including sexual assaults -- on Palestinian victims.
