Bad Faith - Episode 380 – The Ceasefire Shell Game (w/ Sam Husseini)

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.
