I agree because if politicians really care about their constituents they should care about human suffering in Gaza and humanity and for that to happen their should a strong stand on Gaza
@@salahbulle904 exactly what i was getting at. you can see where loyalties are... especially when the overwhelming majority of people who elected 'them' have a view and that is disregarded for the sake of a foreign nation?
I think for me as a teacher, one of the things I’ve actually been struggling with the most is the silence. It’s not as well stated as anything y’all are saying but for anyone who feels this way too: Hush Money Conservatively 13,000 Palestinian children are dead tonight Bombed with our bombs Shot with our guns Traumatized by the terror While we enjoy another day of sun The perils of indifference Do not even apply “Finish them” Trumps “I don’t even care, do you?” How to teach “Never Again?” When Charlottesville’s already forgotten? So we go about our days Driving from here to there Hoping for a leader Who can bring us hope But we keep our mouths shut Lest they call us woke We pay our bills Take our vacations And we hush Can we be sad now?
@@brendonclark562 Hamas is responsible for what they do but Israel is also responsible for what they do. There wasn't peace before Oct 7th. Israel killed hundreds of Palestinians b4 Oct 7th
Israel 🇮🇱 have made the whole world sick. We need guys like you Mehdi and Amanda, to stop us drowning from the inaction. We mustn’t give up. ♥️ PALESTINE 🇵🇸 🪁
@@ISLAPMONKEYS update your propaganda machine. Israel couldn’t prove any rape allegations. Quite the opposite they admitted to raping Palestinian prisoners at the Sde Teiman detention facility and the sociopathic society over there protested against holding the rapists accountable. This rapist is now a celebrity in that sick society going around giving interviews and getting applause. But you already know all this. I’m just stating in case someone believes your BS. The world was taught a lesson by Gaza and can differentiate between terrorism and resistance. Enjoy being the pariah of the world these coming years ❤️
In Canada, I’ve learned since October that we have a very strong contingent of Jewish Zionists. It’s been so jarring to see people I know who I thought had compassion show violent hatred of Palestinians, then go silent as they get mild pushback and the genocide progresses. But the mask really did come off and putting it back on doesn’t mean no one saw the reality. The belief that Israel has a right to exist/defend itself as an excuse for an ongoing genocide show how far we have to go in helping people understand what colonization actually looks like and wake them up to the intense propaganda campaign supporting Israel over the past 75 years.
@@joankelly5625 You're right. And Israelis have no rights at all either. There is literally nothing Palestinians aren't allowed to do to them because under international law, Israelis (and by extension, all Jews) aren't covered by standards of human rights (in fact, legally they don't exist). You literally can't murder or rape an occupier, and all Israelis are illegal occupiers, including (in fact, especially) Israeli babies.
I'm slightly afraid to hear what your opinion on teenagers making legal, consensual porn movies...as they do...or your opinion on 16 year olds seeking emancipation from abusive parents? 18 year olds can do what they want, dude. If it's dating someone who reminds them of their dad, fine. Get over what other people are doing with consenting adults.
@@jamesg7016 They had parental consent. As legal guardians, that is their right. I would publicly state the same, and have. I'm not about to give people fuel to dox me and stalk me based on every disagreement I have with random people with different viewpoints, though. This is the only internet site I comment on. I'd prefer to keep relative anonymity here, because there are a lot of people who don't see anything wrong with cyber attacks on people they don't like.
@@jamesg7016 I mean, that said... if an older dude is exclusively dating chicks half his age, and never moves on... I'd probably view that with some caution. Maybe some alarm.
Absolutely correct !! I swear it’s a balm to a broken heart and a crazed mind from all the horrific lies, deceit and gaslighting galore by these white supremacist all over the western world !! YUCK & SHAME on them ALL!!
Progressive (including Palestine) voices are really being silenced, unlike that conservative cancelling nonsense where they just can't stop talking after they're supposedly cancelled.
I've much respect for these people who are risking their carrier for the right thing. History remembers you and you have a story to tell your kids. I'm not Palestinian or an Arab but this genocide hits me to my core.
"We're not free until the people of Palestine are free" Two years ago Nelson Mandela's grandson Siyabulela Mandela quoted his grandfather on Web Summit's stage in Lisbon . Siyabulela has since then very actively speaking up on social media.
I have a surprise for you it has always been that way not the last 8 months. From the founding of this country and slavery thru today everything has been about money.
So this should, 100%, be a weekly show (minimum!). You guys’ unfiltered conversation hit the nail on the head. You addressed, confirmed and acknowledged all of what’s been going on, since October 7th. I have been shocked, disappointed and disheartened by so many people (public figures, actors, politicians, family, members friends, or shall I say former friends); it’s sad. And the fact that these right wing and ignorant “liberals” are conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism is total crap. And moreover, it distracts from the true threat to the Jewish community.
When I was 12 I kept asking my dad questions about the world and he said I have an answer for you when there doesn't seem to be one. "When something doesn't logically or morally make sense it is because of money." My dad sadly passed unexpectedly 5 years ago when I was 30. I think of him always and his statement to me when I was 12 and didn't understand corruption like I do now, specifically in the last 8 months when democratic principals got thrown right out the window. They all sold their souls and now we are in a fight for humanity.
@@alanstech3724Hmm, so that's bad but murdering civilians in cold blood is ok? How do you rationalize this stuff? Something is morally wrong with you people, reprehensible ideology and drawing parallelism as if they are the same. Are you people insane? Since the illegal creation of Israeli state, these people have been ostracizing Palestinians, illegally occupying their land on a continuous basis and basically forcing these people into a small area and then ever so often they'll start up conflict to go in and destroy everything they built up. I think you need your head examined!
@@alanstech3724 And you tell me about Theodore Herzl and how he went to the Ottoman Sultan and begged to buy those lands, when rejected his minions brought down the Ottoman Sultan in 1905. Theo founded Zionism in 1897. You must be young. Did you know Muslim means Believer of one True God. For Muslim Abraham Moses and JEsus are prophets and if you reject one prophet you are out of Islam. Go read and come back.
@@alanstech3724 Also read , 1933 pact between addolf and Zionists to scare/kill the orthodox jews so they can flea to the holy lands. But when rothchilld gets jailed then addolgf goes on full war against jews.
Liberals and progressives are different things, liberals want to uphold the states quo at all costs, it's an ideology that opposes progress, upholding capitalism and profit always comes first, they co-opt progressive and social movements and turn them into slogans, merch, commodity to serve capitalism, progressives are not only for social justice, they're also for economic justice for the working class
There is also PEP - Progressive Except Palestine. One example is Sasha Baron Cohen, but there are many more in Hollywood and the entertainment industry.
You don’t need a flag… Says this guy who’s been protesting since ‘86… (I was 16) Magnum sized magic marker however is rather helpful. And your presence with a voice.
@saad4447 Ethnic cleans, really? Isreal has their problems. Now it's Palestine, and then it will be another country. I do wish the US would take a step back. I don't believe Isreal thinks that much of us, yet it takes support from our country.
I was one of those people who was always sympathetic to the Palestinian cause even before OCT 7. That said, it is after October 7th that I learned about the injustices committed upon our Palestinians brothers and sisters for the past 100 years. (the exodus/Zionism started happening after Communism appeared in Russia and Europe did not want all the Russian Jewish Migrants in Europe - including the English and Germans).
Same. I’ve been against Israel’s behavior since the mid-90s based on the illegal settlements. Over the years, my resistance has grown to include boycotting Israeli companies after realizing that a lot of violent “entertainment” originated in Israel. The US has remade several Israeli tv shows and movies. In Israel they demonize Palestinians and in the US it shifts to Latin and South American people. The racism became so apparent once I realized this!!
Amanda was spot on with her take that the word "liberal" is most often a conceit of convenience in 2024 (as is "conservative"). So happy to see that after his firing, Mehdi has found himself in the company of the left that are willing to go the distance to support our stated values of defending the oppressed.
For just a great grandmother living in Australia from the attack in October & since I have been following & learning by listening to interviews & talk shows on RU-vid to learn , I just haven't been able to handle the amount of devastation on the people in Gaza & I haven't been able to look away or stop putting up fb posts to express my outrage that this genocide hasn't stopped. To my frustration, hardly anyone I know comments on my posts & neither do they put any up. I feel people are without any expression of empathy & that bothers me.
Amanda Seales is a true intersectional hero. She gets it and we love her for that. This coming from a white cis gay man. THE PEOPLE, UNITED, WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!
@@dixztube Agreed that she is not well liked because of her arrogance. Was excited to support Mehdei in this new endeavor. Him bringing an unreflective Seales along (who hasn't done the work to learn how to disagree agreeably with her audience) makes me question his judgement just a smidge.
@@davispatricks5453 i have no idea and just speculating , she probably begged him and sung a sad song and just tied this issue to manipulate him into having a celeb on the show. in that industry its probably few and far between who will speak out on the issue
@@dixztube Is she arrogant, or is she tired that the general public is so exhaustingly slow at learning? I empathize with her. I would rather have people like her that are tuned in and educated than the 85% that are comfort creatures and freak out if you tell them to learn.
The entire Seinfeld show made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Never understood why it was so popular but being that he is a zionazi bootlicker it kind does make sense now.
We need more., and more people in Hollywood speaking out against this genorice. Also we need them to question the Democrats about their complicity in this genorice!
You don't have to be Arab or Muslim to stand with the innocent Palestinian babies, children, families and people - you have to be human beings and care about humanity. October 7 started in 1948 for the Palestinian people.
We need to talk about how much American Christians nationalist are the reason we support isreal. Ignoring Christian power lost Roe. I have never been oppressed because of Islam but we all have from Christians.
The most disappointing thing about Trevor not saying anything is that he has been outspoken about Palestine in the past. My opinion regarding why Biden won’t stop this, I don’t think any president would because ultimately the corporations that control our government are the same that have a vested interest in the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. The US might not like the way it’s being done and the blowback it’s causing here, but the goal is a shared one.
Yeah, unfortunately the closer to the election we get, the narrative will be that they will black sheep-ed Netanyahu alone in this genocide. Unfortunately I can see a bunch of people will take that bait.
I second this request. Yhey did het dirty. I wonder whether she is reluctant to talk though, she hasn't come out saying much. She might be gagged, or in negotiations for something else?
Trvor Noah . No man. This guy came from Apartheid South Africa. And his conspicuosly, amazingly and deafeningly quiet on the Zios Apartheid racist gen o cide against Palestine! lost all respect for this guy
I’m from the UK and my W Indian Dad told me in the 70’s about the mistreated African Jews in Israel. But the silence in the media over the years is now clear with my new understanding about the part of lobbying paying for this silence.
When I first saw Seinfeld with the IDF creeps, I went to Netflix, brought up all of his works and put thumbs down on each and every one. He's de@d to me! And so is Mahr.
Likud's bloody 100 year history ... In 1923, 100 years ago, Ze'ev Jabotinsky wrote, The Iron Wall, and a follow up, The Ethics of The Iron Wall (sooo racist towards Africans), in which he fully acknowledged that post Balfour Zionsim was colonialism, and that, based on the entirety of history, the native Palestinian population would resist being colonized until the bitter end. He directly compared it to the colonization of North America. He promoted doing it anyway, claiming Zionist colonialism was a "just" colonialism (he also thought North American colonialists were good guys, so not a great judge of morality), not caring what that meant for the native population. Ze'ev is important, because his Betar militant youth group helped found the Irgun terrorist group, along with other supporters of his, and the splinter Lehi terrorist group. The Irgun bombed numerous Palestinian markets and other public places, murdering many Palestinian civilians, including children, even including Palestinian Jews (who didn't support colonialist Zionsim). The Irgun are important, because they ended up being led by future Likud PM, Menachem Begin, who bombed the King David Hotel. The King David Hotel was bombed because the British had raided the Jewish Agency and seized numerous documents that may have shown that the terrorists were working with the JA and Haganah (JA liked to pretend that they didn't support the terrorism). The British then stored those documents at their base, in the hotel. That the Irgun terrorists responded to a JA raid, itself seems to prove the connection. That the thousands of Irgun (and Lehi) terrorists were also quickly merged into the new nation's military (IDF) and intelligence (Mossad) agencies, and are still celebrated as "heroes" by Israelis, to this day, also seems to support total collaboration between the groups. That other terrorist group mentioned, Lehi (also known as the Stern Gang), was considered even more extreme. They even tried to ally with the Nazis, against the British. Lehi ended up being led by Yitzhak Shamir, future Mossad agent, and another future Likud PM. They assassinated Lord Moyne, and others. The two terrorist groups also operated outside of Palestine. The Irgun bombed the British Embassy at Porta Pia, in Rome. The Lehi bombed the British Colonial Club, in London. A timer failed in another bombing attempt, at the Colonial Office, in Whitehall. Two female Lehi operatives were arrested crossing from Belgium to France, with the ingredients for letter bombs. 21 letter bombs were found to be have sent, and were intercepted. They mined the Cairo-Haifa train, in Egypt, twice, killing dozens of civilians, as well as British soldiers. In 1945, there was a major land and peoples survey done in Palestine. It showed that the Zionists only owned about 5% of the total land, 20% of the arable land, and owned a majority in zero districts. The partition was not only going to be forced on the native Palestinian majority, but Jews were still going to be a minority, in the part allocated to them. The only possible way to even become a "Jewish state" was going to require getting rid of the actual majority (at least enough so that there'd be a solid Jewish majority, so they could fake being democratic). This is also shown by the 1948, post Nakba, population of Israel. If there was 716,700 Jews, 156,000+ non-Jews, and approximately 700k non-Jews ethnically cleansed, that means the Jewish population, in the Zionist portion of partition, was originally over 100,000 less than the non-Jewish population. To believe that there was never any intent, by Zionists, to ethnically cleanse away the Palestinian majority would require believing that they never intended to create a "Jewish state". It's a nonsensical notion. Begin, and those terrorist groups, also opposed partition, but for the opposite reason Palestinians did. Palestinians didn't want to be colonized, at all. The terrorists wanted to colonize it all. "Moderate" Zionists were okay with colonizing half ... for now (what would happen in the future, after partition, was up to them, said Ben-Gurion). The Zionist terrorists were also involved in massacres, and assassinations, during the partition violence (colonialist war against the natives). Another notable future Likud PM, also started in the military, during the partition fighting. That was Ariel Sharon, war criminal, "Butcher of Beirut". Menachem Begin, and these other Zionist terrorists, are important because they became involved in Israeli politics, first forming Herut. That was the party that Albert Einstein, and other prominent American Jews, opposed, having a letter printed in the NYT, in December of 1948, when Begin came to visit the US. The letter opened ... "Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the "Freedom Party" (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine." Herut merged with other extremist parties, over the years, and eventually became Likud, in the 70s. Now, people get upset over the slogan "From the river to the sea!", but it's the second part that's most important, "Palestine will be free!". Because "Palestine" isn't defined as an ethno-state, a free Palestine can be a single state, free for all to live in, and return to, free of continuing colonization, free of occupation, free of oppression, etc. Just like a Germany free of Nazism, an Italy free of fascism, a South Africa free of apartheid, or an America free of slavery from sea to shiny sea. It doesn't necessitate purging all the Jews. It just necessitates them giving up on the idea of an ethno-state. On the other hand, because "Israel" has been defined as an ethno-state, Likud's, "between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty", has no possible good interpretation. It is a declaration of intent to completely colonize, and ethnically cleanse, all Palestine territories. Not only that, but it also claims that they have a "right" to all of the "Land of Israel" (biblical borders that don't mesh with archaeological reality), which is an open declaration of future wars, against Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and possibly even Iraq. Likud platform ... 1977: "The Right of the Jewish People to the Land of Israel (Eretz Israel) a. The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is eternal and indisputable and is linked with the right to security and peace; therefore, Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty. b. A plan which relinquishes parts of western Eretz Israel, undermines our right to the country, unavoidably leads to the establishment of a "Palestinian State," jeopardizes the security of the Jewish population, endangers the existence of the State of Israel. and frustrates any prospect of peace." 1999: "The Government of Israel flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan river. The Palestinians can run their lives freely in the framework of self-rule, but not as an independent and sovereign state. Thus, for example, in matters of foreign affairs, security, immigration, and ecology, their activity shall be limited in accordance with imperatives of Israel's existence, security and national needs." "The Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza are the realization of Zionist values. Settlement of the land is a clear expression of the unassailable right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel and constitutes an important asset in the defense of the vital interests of the State of Israel. The Likud will continue to strengthen and develop these communities and will prevent their uprooting." All Palestine territories are officially considered occupied, by the International Court of Justice, the UN GA, the UN SC, and even in official documents of Israel's own allies. Likud is still using the blueprint for colonizing North America, in the West Bank. Move settlements out into native territory, piss off the natives, the natives retaliate, cry about poor "innocent" colonizing settlers being the "victims" of violent "Savages!", call in the cavalry to put down the native uprising, and eventually expand the borders to include those settlements. Rinse and repeat. In Gaza, Israel is operating an open air WWII style fascist ghetto. Them claiming a "right to defend themselves" would be like the Nazis claiming a "right to defend themselves " from the Warsaw ghetto uprising. There's no "war". That they're the occupiers means the "war" part is long over. Those people are actually supposed to be under the occupier's protection. That partition was forced upon the Palestinian majority, against their will ... that the Zionist portion still had to be forcefully ethnically cleansed of its non-Jewish majority, against their will ... that the millions of occupied Palestinians don't have a say in the government that truly rules over them, Israel's ... means Israel is about as democratic as Nazi Germany after Hitler purged his political opponents and then held elections.
yup and back then there were a few anti-racist zionists who tried to critique and counter, like Hanz De Israel from Holland, who even compared the attitudes of some of his peers towards Arabs to the way that European Americans treated African Americans in pamphlets he wrote--- BenGurion's boys gunned him down in 1924-- vew few of his ilk would be left alive by the end of the 1920s, unless they were cowards who accepted de facto imprisonment and academic exile to some cubbyhole in a library somewhere... by then all that would be left of the zionist 'left' were hardcore white-supremacist stalinists like bingurion.

Thanks, Mehdi, for everything. I have one small comment: there seems to be an issue with the mic or whatever sound output is used, the sound feels a phone call via airpods or something similar. Not just in this podcast, but in general, if you compare it with any other channels, you will notice the difference. I’m pretty sure it is a small thing to fix.
