The Politics Behind the "Settler Violence" Campaign

About this episode

The episode discusses the campaign surrounding 'Settler Violence' and features an interview with academic Jennifer Brick Murtazashvili.

The orchestrated campaign to create alarm about “Settler Violence” magnifies a very marginal phenomena as part of a well thought out long game. Mike and Gadi explain how it works, and what its purpose is. We also have a guest on this show: Jennifer Brick Murtazashvili. She’s an academic, but she won’t bow down to the lies about the war. Read her op-ed in the Washington Post here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/03/27/israel-iran-war-propaganda-disinformation/
