Noura Erakat joins Katie to discuss the ongoing dehumanization of Palestinians in the mainstream media in order to justify Israel's genocide. Noura also details a recent interview at the BBC where she received push back on her comments, saying; "I have seen a recent trend whereby BBC correspondents with their Palestinian guests or with guests that are basically making an argument to stop a genocide, saying, 'we want to make clear, that Israel, would not say this and that they reject that there is genocide. They wouldn't use the word apartheid.' the idea that they would say it's Palestinians, contaminating their own water just gives away the dehumanization."
