Bad Hasbara 38: Zio-Huasca, with David Sheen 

Man, David knows his Hasbara !❤

Sheen is by far one of the best guests you have had. I learnt so many things I just didn’t know before this conversation. Thank you.

Definitely have David back! Also per Daniel's comment, David has worked with both Max Blumenthal and Abby Martin when they were doing their first reporting on the ground in Israel/Palestine

David sheeeeen lets goo. its time he gets some air time. ✊✊✊✊

As a non-Jewish person, I was fascinated with this episode. Thanks for the education and entertainment.

David was a great guest! Very interesting to hear

Thanks in advance for a most moral alternative to the mindless patriotism of the 4th ❤

Honestly, Kahane's story feels like it has huge parallels with the Gladio-style programs in Europe

You guys should invite Nemahsis to the podcast, she’s a Canadian-Palestinian singer/songwriter from Jericho who was dropped from the label she had just signed with right before her album came out because Oct. 7th happened and she’s Palestinian. She’s been having trouble ever since getting her music played or invited on any shows, which is a shame because she’s so very talented.

As usual i keep saying every episode introduces me to my new favorite guest

Something to actually look forward to on “independence day” 🎉

You need to get him back on. That was amazing

Today, with the latest enforced "evacuation" of Khan Younis, I must admit the Hasbara is just too depressing, so I'm gonna give this one my bare attention before switching over to the UK exit polls and seeing exactly how badly the Conservative government there get trashed. I used to live in the UK and their legislation...made my life both as a teacher and an immigrant twice as difficult as it needed to be. So seeing the definitive bad guys lose for once will give me the moral (some might say "most moral") sustenance I need.

david sheen is a hero. ive been following him since 2014, when he was featured by abby martin

Love David’s work over at ei!

Until JUST NOW I thought the guy was called "Mayor Kahane" because he had been a mayor. Until Daniel, I'd apparently never heard anyone pronounce his name correctly 😳

My intro to the evil of Zionism is Ron David "Arabs & Israel for beginners".

I find the points made about Ben-Gvir and the media coverage of his political party to be fascinating. To a lesser extent, I see similar things happening elsewhere. The attention some of these divisive (outright hateful) figures get is frustrating. The uncritical oxygen they're given feeds them, then suddenly they've managed their way into parliament by feeding off the worst of society. And they know it!! There is awareness to their manipulation and the 'center-right' parties that work alongside them, to get into government. They let the further right parties push the narrative towards more hateful ideas, but distance themselves from it, even though they probably agree with it more than they let on. Ultimately it'll suit some other neoliberal purpose for them - land assets, most likely. We have a couple of figures like this in New Zealand (or Aotearoa if you wanna be cool) who just will not go away. One guy was ALWAYS given space in the media, because he was always available. I'm not sure how much he believes in the bs he spouts, he's a bit more of a debate bro, with no values other than MONEY. Now in coalition government, his party has a ridiculous amount of important portfolios given to people clearly out of their depth. Our center-right-wing party is essentionally being wagged by the tail. By two horrid parties who only got a small percentage of the vote.... funnily enough lots of zionist rhetoric comes out of these guys. Freaking Colonists gotta stick together. Loved the episode as usual. I'm going to see if we can organise a screening of that documentary here with our local activist groups 😁

The "planting trees in Israel" thing seems insidious - aside from trying to terraform the place to have a more European environment, it feels like a brilliant way to spread the idea that Israel was a barren wasteland until the Jews came back to fix it. "If you need to plant trees in Israel, there must not be any trees in Israel, so surely nothing could have lived there?" It's like the tendency people have to think Africa is full of starving children because that's what the NGO's taught us, except they did so accidentally while trying to help, y'know, starving children.

I remember reading David's journalism a decade ago when I was a student. People like him helped me in forming my anti-zionist convictions a great deal, especially hearing it from an Israeli.

Just listened on Spotify and learned a lot. I'll watch again later to make sure i didn't miss anything (and i like to see people when they speak 😄). I knew of some of this but he really filled in some holes in my understanding. Thanks!

Wow, Matt is sure a good singer. I’d pay hundreds of dollars to go see him perform. Not really, but I hear he’s a good comic.

Oh God, David Sheen.... I've already got a pit in my stomach. I've watched some of his lectures a few years ago and they've left me speechless and filld me with sorrow. Heavy stuff.

Zayahuasca! A legend is born!

I didn't know this man, this episode was absolutely amazing, I learned so much !

I always learn so much from you and your guests - thanks so much!

How are you able to have every episode so perfect? This one was so good. Please have him on again. Loved it, laughed, learned and loved.

The glee on Matt’s and Daniel’s faces when he brought up the Falic family of Florida. Just too funny, and a much-needed comedic relief in that particular moment.

One for the algo this is an amazing discussion and truly enlightening. 🇵🇸❤️

Forgot to say, this podcast was absolutely mind-blowing. Brilliant stuff from David Sheen. So fascinating, so eye-opening, so fucking bone-chilling.

you have earned a new most moral subscriber!

You’re in the key of life Matt. Daniel showing off his perfect pitch

Look at Dan. Tossing out, so casually, the word “calumny”. I’m unduly proud of being literate enough to catch it at all - though I had to quickly search it to assure myself I had it. That’s so sexy, Dan. If I was a gay old man… Anyway, all sapiosexuals appreciate you.

David is excellent! Have been listening to him for many years.

Im seriously depressed how evil this 🌎 has become but at least I habe you guys.

Sheen is such an intelligent and clear communicating reporter. Thanks for having him on. ❤

possibly my favorite episode so far

Am I horrible person for missing the autotune intro already? 😂❤🎉 Like almost as bad as the eps missing Daniel

"if memory serves " always evokes '80s Iron Chef.

I watched this episode while on acid and man it made me laugh into tears, thank you guys for the good trip

Amazing show guys. Thanks so much ❤ for this

Yall are the best, thank you for helping sanity prevail.

A great information-packed episode. I might need to listen to it a couple more times just to proper digest it.

Stephan Mallenoiux has really progressed in his politics. Good for him

I watched 4 Episodes, so far. Omar Baddar, Marc Lamont, Bassem Youssef. This is my favourite ! Thank You Very Much for introducing me to David Sheen. Your episodes are getting better and better. Keep Up the Great Work ! ❤💐🦋🍃

Matt keeps interrupting and then not being very eloquent. But this episode has been the densest and deepest one in a while. David is a literal walking archive and great narrator. Wow... FALIC revelations...

David is very solid! Eg: check out his presentation called 'Kahanistan'!

What an incredibly informative and freaking hilarious episode. You guys strike a good balance between humor and digesting shocking revelations. Thank you for this episode!

Wooooow! David Sheeeeen man! I realized I know nothing! Great episode!!!

This was insane! Thank you! Please have him back!

Phenomenal…so much information, David is fantastic and presents the history in such a clear and concise way! Thank you! Love the laugh and learn concept, strong opener Matt, those mics never get old! I haven’t laughed that hard since my son used the voice changing mic to read a National Geographic for 20 min. 😂

David Sheen is incredible! watch his "Messiah Mode" & "Kahanistan" talks on his channel, so much great information

I had formed a deeper understanding of that society through hearing David Sheen and Nurit Peled-Elhanan (author of book "Palestine in Israeli School Books: Ideology and Propaganda in Education"). I had been scratching my head considering how everyone is not questioning how they are bombing - how do they know they won't kill their own? This explains a lot. Nowadays there are some rescued hostages who say they were afraid they'll die from the IDef bombs, but still that question is not presented up front. Tells a lot about the media. Trum..p... waaaa... aas he riiiiiiiiiiiiight? hmm? As much as I hate his type, and we're not coming from the same angle, he was right about the media!

you guys are great!

Cheers for the show on Holiday!

Excellent guest and program. Your juju is strong when you can elicit such much needed laughter on topics that could easily bring about madness.

Excelente show, Excelente guest!

Gosh, this needs to be continued seriously! David is being so generous w his time like a ton of wisdom he’s about to unload and y’all cut it so soon🥲😭

I could listen to David Sheen for hours - the wealth of knowledge he has is incredible. Please bring him back again! Matt - next episode please add an auto tune to the intro 😂

wonderful ep. I think this one edutained me the most

Great show again, fellas! Matt, the singing is so fun to watch. Watched you on Majority Report.. The Minority Deport was hilarious. Keep it up Matt, Daniel and Adam. Love your show.

Great episode!

You guys were on top form! Awesome episode

1:58:45 when Bassem Youssef talked about this, people called him antisemitic.

One of the best episodes. We need David on again soon.

Believe it or not I missed this live show bc I was listening to this weeks freaking pod!!

I have listened to this twice, so much I am learning and didnt know at all, thanks guys and more cowbell , I mean more BIBI voice

As someone else said - laughed, learned and loved ❤

Love you guys

A Maurice Sendak reference. Well done, fellow snob.

Thanks! What a great knowledgeable journalist

Great show, great guest, bad hasbara.

More David Sheen please.

love all the guests you have on here. would love to see rahma zein in the mix! ur interactions/perspective are always unique.

(Note that anti-Apartheid Jews in South Africa were also facing persecution for speaking out at the same time Argentine Jews were persecuted in the Dirty War).

Very educational episode.

such an interesting episode- this is what i needed to know- the cultural shift into fascism. thanks v muchly!

A Masterclass Thank you

This episode was a traumatic rollercoaster, but the auto-tune and dick jokes made it much easier to digest. Thank you all for your hard work, the results of this reporting will be cataclysmic but hopefully it will lead to positive irreversible changes that are long overdue. Not just for the sake of Palestinians or Judaism but for humanity as a whole.

Please do another interview with David. Incredible insights on supremacist thought and how supremicism works.

Nice episode as usual ❤

Great pod ❤❤

Super informative.

Daniel’s impression in the beginning is getting so good!

Great guest

Outstanding...thanks..

Disabled people are still insecure to this day and nobody talks about the undesirables

Learnt a lot of new stuff

I love you guys!

Please have Tadhg on again when Daniel is on. It would be really cool to see the 3 of you together.

Hi & thank you both for being the most moral. I'm looking for Dahab everywhere online, not finding him. Wondering if he's okay.

We gotta get more info on this Phallic famz. Spill the tea 🍵 Mr. Sheen! 👀 Guest suggestions: Aaron Maté, Max Blumenthal, Norman Finklestien

Natanyahu on a trip is funny asf

Bring David back 🙏

Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤ 🇵🇸🇵🇸🍉🍉

'Antisemitify' 💖 I am going to use this as a normal word from now on

Great comments, guys, thank you!

the end was hilarious

Would love to hear you guys interview Neturei Karta Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss or Rabbi Dovid Feldman or Rabbi Elhanan Beck, would truly be a most moral podcast.

The dick jokes a the the end 😂🤣😂🤣. David was incredible, you guys are awesome. Thank you so much
