On this week's bonus episode of 'We're Not Kidding,' Bassem
Youssef joins Mehdi for an honest and critical conversation about
Oct. 7, and the avalanche of Israeli propaganda and lies that
followed Hamas' deadly attack.

Bassem and Mehdi discuss and debunk a number of lies and
distortions about the events on the day, from Israel's
controversial "Hannibal directive," which led to the Israeli
military killing a number of its own citizens, to the the now
infamous "40 beheaded babies" and "babies in ovens" falsehoods
that began to surface only days after the attack.

Bassem and Mehdi are also joined by NYU journalism professor and
war correspondent Azadeh Moaveni, whose recent reporting went
into detail about how sexual violence and claims of mass rape
have been weaponized by supporters of Israel over the past eight
months, and how the New York Times in particular misreported this
incendiary story.

This episode includes discussions on sexual violence, the
specifics of which may be disturbing or traumatizing for some
viewers and listeners. Below is a list of resources for survivors
of sexual violence.
