Matt and Daniel are joined by AJ+ journalist Mohammad Alsaafin to break in Israel's new term for hasbara, to ponder a few of the many reasons Alan Dershowitz might be denied a Polish delicacy, and to wonder whether taking a photograph of a photographer taking a photograph makes the photograph the first photographer was photographing not a photograph at all.
