In Bad Faith with Mohammed El-Kurd
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.

The funniest part is how the interviewer actually allows him to speak, completely impossible in real life

This is brilliant guys. Using quotes of the israeli-sided media narrative in such a condensed way is so self-exposing. Also, shoutout to the camera operator 😅 Love from Poland and free Palestine 🇵🇸
I don't use settler I always use illegal coloniser ... makes folk uncomfortable and so it should. It's like colonisers calling themselves expats and not immigrants?
This is oddly satisfying, like most Palestinians or Pro-Palestine activists never get the chance during interviews to get all this off of their chest, so from now on every time I see someone cutoff during an interview I'll come watch this and pretend they get to say their piece!
Laughed so hard when I saw the attempt to write Pires Morgan's name at first 😂..... Loved everything, this is a whole different level of resistance ❤

Hats off to the actor Morgan Bassichis, you nailed it too
You are wonderful, Mohamad El-Kurd.
Absolutely brilliant. Nice to smile at something online, which is rare at the moment 🙏
Thank you, Mohammed and Morgan.
So goooood! Everything from acting, script, editing. Freeeee Palestine insha'Allah 🤲
I love everything about this, laughter is def dignifying
the "between two ferns" of it all lmaoooo
I can’t stop watching and sharing 😂❤ I have learned a lot listening to Mohammed El Kurd. As a Palestinian my heart goes out to all Palestinians suffering over last 76 years. I think this was a brilliant way to reach new audience. 👏🏻🇵🇸✌🏻Thank you all
Brilliant! Love how you had to identify the interviewer as “an actor” because this literally sounds like almost every interviewer out there, and it truly is a comedy show.
Fine piece of theatre and political and historic analysis. Thank you Mondoweiss.
It's freaking hilarious!!! Outstanding job from everyone involved. Mohammed is, as always, spectacular and brilliant!❤🍉
El-Kurd 💪 I love you, man. This was great.
I just wanna say, that this is a beautiful masterpiece that must be preserved at all costs Here are some gold moments. Enjoy ✨️: 8:48 "you can add it to my ADL page" 😂😂😂 I'm dying. Mohammed El-Kurd said that so smooth and chill. 9:50 "You Implied it....w/ your blue eyes" The layers....the layers 🤌
Mohammed is so amazing! 🤌🏽❤🔥
Jews, Buddhists + bisexuals❗Game set match!
This was so well done! Thank you for reminding us that laughter is dignifying!! I know we all feel the same frustration watching these "interviewers" go into attack and interrogation mode. Thank you for being our voice!
Absolutely love it how Mohameds audio is all F up and the hosts audio is all good. Perfect... "You implied it, with your blue eyes" 😅
Brilliant! We love you, Mohamed El Kurd! Hero! Palestine will be free!
Such a treat to watch my fav Jew and my fav Palestinian.
Love it!! 🇵🇸🇵🇸
Even the bad audio made it more real 😂😂
“Laughter is dignifying” AHHHH ❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for all that you do
I finally saw this. What an amazing interview. The only interview we need to see for all of 2023 and until the occupation ends and the entity is completely disassembled. Thanks for all the laughs. I loved this so much. ❤
Well done. Reminds me of so many of the interviews I’ve seen but instead of enraging me, this made me laugh. Laughter is resistance 🍉
This was epic. The only thing missing was the term ‘moral quandary’
Gimme more of the debunking interviews! Actually this is really helpful. Keep it up. I can provide more questions that I take from their twitter pages

This is so painfully accurate. This is absolutely every mainstream media interview out there.
