When a Palestinian is brought onto Western media to talk about what’s happening in Palestine, it’s seldom in good faith. This video satirizes the hostile and bad-faith questions that Palestinians confront during mainstream media interviews.
Corporate journalists often ignore the material realities on the ground—occupation, colonialism, siege, and genocide. Instead, they focus on hypothetical scenarios, feigning moral outrage, or littering the conversation with logical fallacies and slanderous charges.
One option is to engage those questions in good faith, pleading your case before these self-appointed judges, hoping for a fair hearing. Another option is to refuse to distract from the focal point and reject the premise that you are a defendant in the first place, refusing to continue living under constant cross-examination.
Irreverence in the face of dehumanization can flip the script and transform the way audiences engage with Palestine. Exposing the pernicious subtext of bad faith questions—or even merely ridiculing them—can disarm them. Such an approach demystifies the so-called “conflict,” shattering taboos surrounding it and empowering others to raise their voices.
