Christine Rosen, Eli Lake, and I talk about the drama of yesterday's Heritage Foundation meeting, during which Kevin Roberts took another shot at apologizing and staffers in turn aired their outrage, support, and anti-Israel animus.

Independent journalist Jasper Nathaniel joins Bad Faith to tell the harrowing story of being chased down by Israeli settlers in the West Bank before filming a now-viral scene of a settler brutally attacking a Palestinian woman with a club. Executive director of Bisan Center for Research & Development Ubai Abudi, a Palestinian who has experienced similar attacks and detainment by Israel, along with Dr. Jill Stein explain how Uniting for Peace, a UN general assembly resolution, could bring an end to the occupation and genocide by overriding the US veto and getting troops on the ground to protect Palestinians from Israeli violence.
