Egyptian female activist: ‘I spoke the truth about Israel, and they tried to kill me’

“The Quad,” Ep. 6.

This week, “The Quad” interviews Dalia Ziada, an Egyptian writer and activist who recently went into hiding after supporting Israel.

An outspoken advocate of democracy in the Middle East, she was named one of the eight agents for change to follow by CNN and one of the most fearless women by The Daily Beast.

The hosts also take a look at Israel’s allies throughout its war with Hamas and those who have been silent in the face of the terror organization’s atrocities.

Finally, “The Quad” names its Scumbags and Heroes of the Week.
