She tells the truth. College groups banned her.
The bizarro world in which propaganda and reality switch places.
Wearing a t-shirt that says “Reclaim the Truth,” Mazal Tazazo stands in the desert, surrounded by photos of nearly 400 people slaughtered at the Nova Music Festival. It was an event all about love and peace, attended by people of all backgrounds who were dancing and celebrating life together. One that could only take place in a country with democratic freedoms — and, therefore, nowhere else in MENA (the Middle East and North Africa). Only Israel.
Palestinian terrorists descended on the festival Oct. 7, 2023. They set about shooting everywhere, carrying out mass rapes, and dismembering people’s bodies, even while they were still alive. They set fire to everything they could. They hunted down people desperately trying to hide or flee.
Mazal survived out of sheer luck. Her two good friends were killed right beside her. A gushing wound on the back of her head, drenching her back with blood, made the attackers think she was dead.
Her story is powerful and unforgettable.
But most people have never heard it. When she travels outside of Israel, she is cursed at for existing. That includes the United States, where some college groups refused to allow her to come speak. Her very real survival story, they insisted, is “Israeli propaganda.”
This is the era we live in. From long before the Oct. 7 attacks and through to today, the media has “reported” Hamas propaganda as fact. In this bizarro world, Iran and its terror group proxies are presented as sources of “truth,” while actual truth is written off as propaganda.
Mazal and other Israelis have to keep telling — and reliving — the nightmare. People haven’t heard about it in the media, which buries reality under a daily barrage of propaganda. It’s up to us to share her story.
Hear it in the latest episode of They Stand Corrected. (Find it on any app.)
Imploring the world to pay attention, she asks why the media doesn’t show pictures of kids slaughtered in Israel. Or the body of a woman mangled and burned by terrorists to the point that it wasn’t even clear at first that what they left behind was a human body. “It took time to understand that what my eyes see is a person,” she explains “They do things that humans don’t do.”
It’s not just Israel.
In this episode, I take you to Nigeria, in which a man describes what Islamist terrorists have been doing to Christians in Africa. “The way they kill our people is in the most horrific, the most gruesome, the most cruel manner anyone could ever think,” he says. The terrorists set fire to people’s homes, and when they come running out, the terrorists “hack you down with a machete. So they’re cutting you as if they are cutting a piece of wood. You don’t even kill a wild animal that way. So they will burst your brains with machete, and you see spillage of brains.”
You don’t hear about this in mainstream media either. That quote came from CBN, the Christian Broadcasting Network, which is willing to report what big legacy media refuse to acknowledge. Hear it in Episode 67.

Mazal is fighting to get people to wake up to reality. But when she tries, they don’t listen. They respond with lies they believe, like claims that she and other Israelis “stole” land (a revisionist history claim invented by propagandists, as fact checked in Episode 51), and that therefore Palestinians can do anything they want to her and others. They also call Israel a “racist country” despite it being the only country in the region in which diversity is celebrated.
“It is a fact that here in Israel everybody lives together — Jew, Muslim, Black, white, Christian. It’s not about the Palestinians. We have a problem with people that want to see us dead. Not only that, dead and suffering. This is what makes me scared. Because I don’t want to live in this kind of world… I want my son to live in a safe place.”
On my visit to Nova, most of the people I was with were not Jewish. Listen to the episode to hear what a fellow traveler said about how badly Americans need to learn the truth of the 10/7 massacres.
“Someday they’re gonna understand what is a lie and what is true,” Mazal says. I hope so. Unfortunately, that will have to happen despite today’s big media.
It’s up to us.



Spread the word. It's up to us! And a big thank you to Mazal for sharing her story -- a must-hear, harrowing tale of survival.
