Podcast audio















In this episode of the Ayn Rand Institute Podcast, Elan Journo, Nikos Sotirakopoulos, and Tristan De Liège explore how altruism clouds moral clarity about the Israel-Hamas war, undermining Israel’s righteous cause and whitewashing Hamas’ evil.







 Among the topics covered:









How the media coverage of the war has become egregiously deferential to Hamas and Hezbollah;







How altruism corrupts journalism by distorting moral judgment;







Why media deception deliberately aims to manipulate emotions;







The nature of Hamas’s totalitarian ideology;







Why genocide claims flout serious thinking about innocents in war;







How altruism cripples Israel's moral confidence in its cause.









Recommended in this podcast is Elan Journo's book What Justice Demands: America and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
