Seth Mandel, Senior Editor of Commentary Magazine, on his recent piece "As the Hamas Narrative Disintegrates, Can Its Devotees Rejoin Reality?" and the role of language in shaping public opinion and the ways in which certain words, like "genocide" and "massacre," are used to create a particular narrative around the Israel-Palestine conflict. They also touch on the idea that the use of these words can be a form of intellectual dishonesty, used to avoid engaging with the complexities of the issue and to create a sense of moral certainty. They also talk about the attempted terrorist attack that was thwarted earlier today involving FlyDubai Flight FZ 1073.
