About this episode

Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev discuss the media's portrayal of Israel and Hamas following the October 7 atrocities.

Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev—both former advisers in the Prime Minister’s Office—pull no punches in this episode, accusing The New York Times and columnist Nicholas Kristof of pushing what they describe as grotesque anti-Israel propaganda just as a devastating new report on Hamas’s October 7 atrocities was released. They argue that while Israel tried to shield victims’ families from horrific footage, Hamas openly celebrated and filmed its crimes, yet much of the Western media, chose to focus instead on sensational accusations against Israel. Hear why the hosts believe the media failed morally after October 7, the nature of antisemitism and why they see the battle over public opinion as just as important as the war itself.
