How Israel Exploited the Bondi Beach Shooting to Attack Palestine w/ Katie Halper

In the immediate aftermath of the Bondi Beach mass shooting, Israeli officials rapidly moved to politicize the tragedy, with Netanyahu blaming it on Australia’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state earlier this year and Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar declaring it as a result of worldwide calls to “globalize the intifada.”

Journalist Katie Halper joins Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra to dismantle these claims. She analyzes how the shooting has been weaponized to attack the pro-Palestine movement, arguing that equating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism is not only inaccurate, but makes Jews less safe.
