1/18/24 Max Blumenthal on the Lies Getting Gazans and Israeli Hostages Killed
Max Blumenthal returns to the show to talk about some of his recent reporting about Gaza. They first discuss some New York Times reports about October 7th that are not only completely free of evidence but are even disputed by the victims being featured. They then talk about some of the evidence of friendly fire. Blumenthal has been reporting on Israelis killed by the IDF on October 7th and later while being held hostage in Gaza. He has been demonized as an antisemitic conspiracy theorist, but now many Israel-friendly Western outlets admit he was right.
Discussed on the show:
- “Screams without proof: questions for NYT about shoddy ‘Hamas mass rape’ report” (The Grayzone)
- “Israeli army gassed my son ‘like Auschwitz,’ mother of slain Israeli soldier says” (The Grayzone)
Director and writer of “Killing Gaza,” Max Blumenthal is a senior editor of the Grayzone Project and the author Goliath, Republican Gomorrah and The 51 Day War. Follow him on Twitter @MaxBlumenthal.
