An American teenager working at his family's ice cream shop in Tampa, Florida—Safallah Musallet, born in the United States, a birthright citizen—traveled to the West Bank in July 2025 to visit family, see his mother and siblings, and hopefully find a wife. Instead, he was beaten to death by a mob of approximately fifty armed Israeli settlers who ambushed him on land his family owns. His father, Kamal Musallet, who runs that ice cream shop in Tampa, has spent the year since trying to get justice. No one has been arrested. The killers remain free. And the U.S. senator from Florida, Rick Scott, has refused to meet with him.
The episode frames this as a contemporary echo of the USS Liberty—the American spy ship bombed by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War, which left 34 American sailors dead and 171 wounded. The most shocking part of that story, the host argues, was not the attack itself but the U.S. government's cover-up: President Lyndon Johnson's administration suppressed the truth, prevented survivors from speaking, and took the side of the foreign nation that had killed Americans. The same dynamic, the episode contends, is playing out now.
