In this video, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and editor of the Snowden NSA leaks Glenn Greenwald talks about the U.S. political right’s long history of censoring voices that criticize Israel’s policies. In particular, Greenwald points out the hypocrisy of the political right, which on the one hand claims that the liberal left has a “cancel culture,” while on the other hand does the same when it comes to critics of Israel.
