Israeli Settlers Attack NBC News Crew in West Bank | DeProgram

An NBC News crew reporting from the occupied West Bank was attacked while documenting Israeli settler violence against Palestinians. Correspondent Matt Bradley and his team were interviewing Palestinian woman Aida Ahmed Abdullah after she had reportedly been driven from her home when masked attackers arrived and assaulted the group with sticks and stones. The camera captured part of the attack before hitting the ground. The Palestinian woman was left unconscious and seriously injured. On The DeProgram, Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas examine what the incident reveals about escalating settler violence, the treatment of Palestinians, the danger facing journalists covering the West Bank, and whether Israel is actually paying a meaningful international price as disturbing images continue reaching Western audiences. But that's only part of today's show. Ted and Jamarl also tear into Van Jones and the Democratic establishment's continued support for Israel, including the argument over conditioning American military aid and whether there is any meaningful distinction between supplying “defensive” and “offensive” weapons to a country accused of atrocities in Gaza and elsewhere. They also discuss: The Supreme Court and presidential power — A ruling over Trump's ballroom project becomes a much larger argument about congressional spending authority, standing, separation of powers and whether the presidency is effectively being permitted to ignore constitutional restraints. A potential mail-in ballot crisis before the midterms — The show examines claims attributed to a Postal Service whistleblower that new procedures could create an extraordinarily strict failure standard for processing mail-in ballots, potentially affecting large numbers of voters before November. The government targeting an anti-ICE activist — Laura Berlin created an interactive map identifying companies profiting from ICE operations using publicly available information. The hosts discuss reports that she has subsequently been flagged in government communications as a potential domestic-terrorism concern and what that could mean for First Amendment activity. Plus: Abdul El-Sayed, Democratic Party politics, political apologies, AIPAC, Israel's international isolation, Trump, Project 2025 and the continuing erosion of institutional accountability.
