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!

JNS TV show with Fleur Hassan-Nahoum (deputy mayor of Jerusalem), Emily Schrader (activist and journalist), Ashira Solomon (African-American Jew and political moderator) and Vivian Bercovici (former Canadian ambassador to Israel).
“This political environment could discourage congressional committee staff and federal agency personnel from pursuing investigations or enforcement actions involving antisemitism,” Karen Paikin Barall of the Brandeis Center told JNS.
“They get social credit within their political bases in terms of talking about settler violence and and taking up the side of the Palestinians on issues between them and Israel,” Rafael Mangual of the Manhattan Institute told JNS.
The U.S. envoy also said antisemitism “didn’t exist” during his upbringing and warned of an unintended clash between Israel and Turkey.
“There is not, and there will not be, a Palestinian state,” the Israeli prime minister pledged. He also called for the corruption trial against him to be dropped.
