Propaganda masquerading as journalism
The episode with Anshel Pfeffer in the immediate weeks after October 7 does not age well 6 months later. The complete inability of the guest — or even the host — to imagine or articulate Palestinian suffering or Israeli oppression and instead to cast the conflict as one purely of irrational, religious hatred and terrorism does a disservice to listeners (not a single mention of colonization, ethnic cleansing, mass dispossession or apartheid is had). The questions asked are so obviously biased in favor of a pro-Israeli sympathy, which the guest shares, that there is a complete lack of any understanding of the situation they are supposed to be illuminating. The latent racism against Arabs and Palestinians is palpable beneath throw away lines of mourning any innocent life lost and then focusing exclusively on Israeli suffering. Not worth your—or anyone’s— time.
