Independent journalist and bête noir of White House press flacks, Sam Husseini, returns to Bad Faith to breakdown the administrations narrative spin around 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 been clear 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” agains its own citizens, and enacted gross abuses, including sexual assaults, on Palestinian victims.

    We are not discussing Israel here. And neither anyone else. People fake this stuff, spinning the actual reports 180°. That is terrible.

    The NYT article I linked in the other thread is a bit more trustworthy than some people talking in a video. The sexual violence was rampant. Which should not surprise, given that they also brutally murdered anyone they could get their hands on. I am sure they also stole some stuff on the way. But nobody cares, because that’s all irrelevant compared to what else happened.

      I am critical of legacy media, I have much more trust in independent journalists, with a history of reports.

      They are also commentators that release videos and talk in other avenues.

      sexual violence was rampant

      This was not proven, even in legacy media, like much of the intial reporting and more, they were all smears against the Palestinian people.

      I do know some legacy media reported of sexual violence against the Palestinian people in detention and their are witnesses that speak out.

      I suggest to also look into that and independent journalists as well.

      We must continue to learn and seek out diverse ideas that go against our bias, so we are not falling for propaganda or smears.

        So on one side witnesses are enough, but on the other you want proof? How to proove sexual violence?

          Oh, I was trying point out that Zionist and Palestinians both claim sexual violence, and much more.

          Only one is being talked about in legacy media, to a major extent with no evidence or thorough research within the organization’s reporting.

          While, the other gets a few mentions here and there and only a few independent journalists were brave enough to speak out agains the status quo narratives.
