Israel needs to stop apologizing

“The Quad,” Ep. 8

This week, “The Quad” discusses the state of hasbara, or public relations and diplomacy, during the war. What can be done better? What is being done right? Is it worth it to try to explain ourselves to a world that is not listening?

Also, “The Quad” discusses the sobering fact that on Christmas Eve 2023, Christians make up only 4% of the Middle East, down from 20% in the early 20th century.

They also look at the pro-Hamas protests taking place at Christmas celebrations all over Europe and North America to ruin the holiday spirit in support of a murderous and intolerant regime. And, of course, they note the Scumbags and Heroes of the Week!
