A media criticism segment that doubles as a Gaza update — bad for Israel's PR defenders, more attention on the ongoing killings during the so-called ceasefire.

• Bill Maher's monologue called criticism of Israel anti-Semitic and demanded people wish Israel a happy 78th birthday.
• Israel has killed over 870 Palestinians in Gaza since the ceasefire began, bringing the total past 72,800.
• Between 8,500 and 10,000 bodies are still trapped under rubble, with Israel blocking heavy equipment from entering Gaza.
• The ICC prosecutor is reportedly seeking arrest warrants for more Israeli officials, including Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, on top of existing warrants for Netanyahu and Galant.
• Republican Congressman Randy Fine has openly called for nuking Gaza and described Palestinians as "demons," undercutting Maher's claim that anti-Muslim rhetoric is milder than anti-Israel rhetoric.

Outlook: The ceasefire is failing in practice, Palestinian deaths keep rising, and international legal pressure on Israeli leaders is set to widen.
