A guest makes graphic, unverified claims of Israeli torture of Palestinians, framed as bad for Israel's image but resting entirely on secondhand testimony.

• The talk centers on a New York Times report alleging Palestinian prisoners were abused with dogs in Israeli prisons.
• A guest claims dogs fitted with cameras and guns were sent into hospitals to attack and shoot people.
• The claims come from a friend's secondhand account, with no direct evidence or named witnesses given.
• Critics in US media called such accusations blood libel against Jews, so the segment doubles as a fight over what can be said about Israel.

Outlook: Expect more heated dispute over the war's conduct and over who is allowed to make these accusations, with little hard proof on offer soon.
