Globalized intifada comes to Washington: Who’s to blame?

WATCH: “The Quad” with Fleur Hassan-Nahoum

On this episode of “The Quad,” hosted by Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, Israel’s innovation envoy, we unpack the shocking murder of two young Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C.—a tragic act of antisemitic terror that has sent ripples around the Jewish world. Joined by co-host Shoshana Keats Jaskoll, Rashi Elmaliah, and Avi Mayer, this all-star panel dives into the global consequences of media-fueled blood libels.

Together, they confront the lies about “starving babies in Gaza” that paved the way for this hate crime, examine the silence and complicity of international institutions like the UN and the Red Cross and expose the dangerous fusion of radical leftism and Islamist extremism targeting Jews worldwide.

The episode covers:

  • The embassy attack in Washington and the role of incitement

  • UN official Tom Fletcher’s debunked “14,000 babies” narrative

  • Hamas’s theft of humanitarian aid

  • The media’s manipulation of facts to vilify Israel

  • Growing fear and antisemitism on U.S. college campuses

  • Global cowardice from UK, France and Canada
Fleur Hassan-Nahoum is a dynamic leader with a diverse career spanning law, diplomacy, nonprofit management, and innovation. Raised in Gibraltar and educated at Kings College, London, Fleur qualified as a barrister before pivoting to international development and advocacy. Her career highlights include serving as Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, co-founding the UAE-Israel Business Council, and being appointed Israel’s Special Envoy for Innovation.
