This week, Mike is flying solo and tackling a packed slate of topics. He addresses the controversial claim that Israel is starving Gazans — debunking viral misinformation, including a widely shared photo of a child that turns out to be false. As France moves toward recognizing a Palestinian state, Mike scrutinizes the spread of propaganda and acknowledges the real suffering while challenging the narrative that it's driven by Israeli policy.

Mike reflects on Rabbi Ed Rosenthal's perspective on why does this humanitarian crisis deserve the world's attention and not others – where is the outrage?

The show features Mark Sachs, ELNET's southeast regional director and Jacki Alexander, HonestReporting's CEO, examining the role of journalists and influencers in navigating today's chaotic media environment. And finally, Mike shares Bret Stephens' thought-provoking New York Times column, which questions the genocide accusations against Israel by pointing out inconsistencies in that narrative.
