Blind Faith: How the West Loses Its Moral Compass on Israel | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani

In this episode of Palestine This Week, we unpack the West’s blind faith in Israel, a belief so entrenched it overrides law, morality, and truth itself. 

From The Washington Post’s exposé on how the US shields Israel from accountability to the horrific Sde Teiman prison scandal, Sudan’s genocide, and drones tested on Palestinians now policing American streets — we trace the web of complicity that sustains a global system of impunity. 

As Western leaders cling to comforting delusions, we ask: what happens when devotion to Israel becomes an article of faith?
