In Sep 2023, on a Sunday morning Islamic Ali Velshi was weaving a narrative about an evil [sic. Supposedly] Jewish state, threading together outright lies and material omissions to spin his false tale of a brutal, undemocratic apartheid state. As is typical at MSNBC, the host’s guests on the subject included only those who largely align with him ideologically and on whom he could count to refrain from substantively challenging his blatant lies.
