Summary
Independent journalist, formerly of Al Jazeera, Sana Saeed returns to Bad Faith to break down Benjamin Netanyahu's 60 Minutes interview on Bari Weiss's CBS, the New York Times finally covering Israel's mass rape of Palestinian hostages in an opinion piece by Nicholas Kristof, & the internecine debate on the left about AOC's feud with Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the utility of acknowledging that some conservative figures have gained rhetorical high ground over some on the left when it comes to Israel. Also, Stephen A Smith on wishing Black Americans would vote Republican, Zohran Mamdani balancing NYC's budget, and Saeed's latest article on whether charismatic leftists like Mamdani serve to normalize establishment politicians like Barack Obama. https://sanasaeed.substack.com/p/the-charisma-of-empire-obama-mamdani
