Propaganda, Protest, And Politics | Mehdi Hasan | TMR 

Best thing Mehdi Hasan did was leaving MSNBC.

"Civil rights student protesters were on the right side of history, Vietnam war student protesters were on the right side of history, Anti-apartheid in South Africa protesters were on the right side of history, Iraq war protesters were on the right side of history. At some point you should ask, are you sure you want to be on the anti-student protests' side?" Mehdi Hasan

“You have the freedom of speech….just not that speech.”

High quality guest...with a solid line up of friends.. Here and zeteo

Watched Mendi's segment with Owen Jones earlier. Quality stuff.

First news was 40 babies beheaded and I was disgusted to hear this. I am just a 58 year old guy from the UK and hearing that made me angry. In no time at all it was walked back a mistake they said. How the hell... I travel and turn left not right = A mistake was made BUT how the hell is 40 beheaded babies a mistake? What kind of people say this about babies in order to justify the slaughter of other little children? Then as time passes I learn about Israel and Palestine. The more these people talk the more I see and when I say these people I am talking Israeli spokespersons and so on. The more I hear from them the more my eyes are opened and I cannot un-see. I am thinking millions have now seen. So NO I am not anti-Semitic I am anti.... People that lie while children die. I don't care at all what your religion is or skin color. I am against child slaughter because its disgusting. Piers Morgan is complicit and I listen to him trying to say he has given a platform to Palestinians like its worthy of some award... I hear him say he is conflicted about a proportionate response. How many innocent people what is the acceptable number slaughtered... The number is zero and anything more than that lets say 100 for example... Would that number be acceptable if one child was my own child? Would it be acceptable that Piers is his only child? Well these children are mine, his and they are also your children even if far away. Do not listen to anyone who tries to justify this crime, this disgusting crime based on lies. Even if true we cannot justify slaughtering children as one crime will never justify another. OR perhaps you think it can? Stop this slaughter and hold these criminals to account... Even Piers must be held to account because he knows the truth BUT he aids in child slaughter.

Any faith I had in msnbc, cnn and all other msm channels has been decimated. I have ZERO respect for them anymore. BRAVO to Medhi Hasan. BRAVO to Emma and Sam at MR. I get my real news from people like you. And other channels like Novara, Aljazeera

I admire Medhi Hasan SO much. He is a courageous and vital voice for all of us who believe in Journalism with Integrity! BRAVO!

As a Brit living in Europe , Biden could never say anything about American foreign policy that would scratch even the surface of the absolute contempt the world holds America and Israel in at this time .

Mehdi Hassan you are Great 👍. World is proud of you

The world 🌎 has a duty to uphold the universal declaration of human rights. Simple

Zeteo’s been very solid since I found it this week.

Thanks! Great show.

Free Palestine .

Mehdi Hassan is just awesome. The most reliable and trustworthy journalist. He is invited to the right place.

Thank you for this clip it was such an inspiring fascinating interview....

I've never seen anything like this....even Iraq. This is worse.

I hit the like button without hesitation .. great people in this interview

Great guest.😉

I saw a video of like 3 cops taking off the hijab of a woman they had detained in the middle of a CROWD! I'm not religious, but it actually made me tear up 🥺...then get PISSED 🤬

Respect to all of you and congratulations to Mehdi

Mehdi is awesome!

I think the tide is turning. The students and shows like yours are breaking through. But I am so disappointed in some Democrats

Literally one of the best interviews ever.

This interview was soooo good!

Brilliant conversation, great panel, thank you. Please support our students from false charges.

It's nonsense that a news anchor doesn't know who Hind Rajab is. Everyone on Earth knows about that poor little 5 year old girl, God rest her tortured soul

Great! Mehdi is wonderful

José Andrés: We're going back to Gaza to feed people. Here's what we need from Israel. José Andrés is founder and chief feeding officer of World Central Kitchen. Our decision to resume feeding in Gaza is both the hardest and the simplest one we could make.

Great show having “Mahdi Hasen “ greatest guest.

From the U.K.- Why did you leave us Mehdi?😞😞😞😞

Good Show 🇧🇩❤️🇯🇴

Medhi’s response to Emma’s question about Israel being a democracy was very well reasoned and factually supported 👍 Another point is how absolutely ludicrous it is that Biden would say he’s trying to combat far-right authoritarianism here in America, while he is actively supporting the far-right ultranationalist regime of Israel, and they are openly pining for Drumpf to regain power. That is utter political insanity by the Biden administration.

One of the most surprising things about the coverage of the student protesters, was lamenting the fact that graduation ceremonies could be canceled for a population that already missed out on high school graduation ceremonies due to the pandemic. Really? Talk about missing the point.

Mehdi, great to see you. Looking forward to checking out your new work!

Thank you Mehdi, it doesn't take 17,000 lawyers

The weapons contractors like Netanyahu... thats the problem...

Mehadi Hassan’s leaving MsNBC was a turning point for his legacy. I ‘m sure that young generation would appreciate his efforts in challenging the establishment in the media.

Sam as a follow up could you please have Norman Finkelstein on for an interview

3 excellent journalists who will feed people with truth not propaganda and fake news.

The world is changing thanks to kids

Hasan better off without Lamestream media.

It just doesn't get cooler than Emma

In my entire life I never knew someone who so evil like Netanyahu

Love seeing you together! ❤

Journalists should start asking politicians including Biden that if their family members were Palestinians living in Gaza would they still support Israel

Great discussion, Mehdi's fantastic

17:40 They were actually invading Huwara, a Palestinian village in the West Bank, on 10/6, in support of the Settler invasion. Anyone who needs some counter-points to Zionists, look up "Yesh Din (English)" and just go through the whole year of their posts leading up to 10/7. There's more there than you will ever be able to remember. 22:50 People use it with extreme bias to mean "whatever Western governments look like, but not any analogues in the East." Democracy is nothing more than "rule of the people," but the question is "who are the people who rule." Answer that and you understand whose democracy it really is. Rule is determined by who makes the decisions. In Israel as in every other "democracy" (including the Eastern "democracies" that people for some reason can't apply the same standard to for determining what system of government they actually have) it is a ruling class that is not the common folk. People use the term colloquially. Democracy is an epithet to people on the right, and even among many people claiming to be socialists and communists who don't actually believe democracy (real democracy, meaning that the common folk don't merely vote for their rulers, but actually participate directly in the decision-making process) is a valid system of governing society. People OVERUSE the term even in its colloquial sense, just like Zionists overuse "anti-semitism." It's nothing more than the deniability of elections in what is otherwise a semi-feudal system being peddled as "democracy." 28:53 Those are "far left" in name only. They're right wingers with left aesthetics. You could say that their "heart is in the right place," but they double down on authoritarian means to achieve what they believe is the "best" outcome "in the interests of the working class" using various excuses. But guess what. Every right winger thinks along the same lines. They all see themselves as the good guys, their ideology as the best "even if there have to be sacrifices" to achieve their end goals; sacrifices that they will force OTHERS to make, of course, just like those aesthetic lftists. If you're truly "far left," then you're so hard-up for democracy that you don't accept top-down organization AT ALL. Hierarchy is your natural enemy on the "far left," because if it isn't then you're not even on the left at all no matter what catch-phrases or coded language you use. Jackson Hinkle is not a leftist, and I don't doubt for a second that he would be one of those "far left" people Hasan alluded to. Bernie has been a huge disappointment on Gaza. He keeps saying "Hamas started this war with their terrorist attack" etc etc etc, parroting Zionist propaganda, but that's all it is: Zionist propaganda. Yes, they did 10/7. Yes, it was evil and an act of terror, and they 100% should have stuck to military targets. But they didn't start the war. If you disagree, then think about what that actually means. What qualifies as starting a war? Invasion? Attacks on the people? Starving a people? Cutting off all access to food, water, electricity etc? Find some standard that qualifies as what CAN start a war, and then apply it to Israel the same as you would to Hamas. If you don't come up with "Israel has been at war with Palestinians since at least 1948. Not Hamas, not the PLO. Palestinians," then you don't know what the heck is and has been going on this whole time. 10/7 was an atrocity, but the IOF and illegal settlers were invading Huwara on 10/6, just as they had invaded Huwara and attacked the people there, as well as dozens of other villages, throughout the year of 2023. THROUGHOUT the year of 2023, not "after 10/7." The only reason people say that Hamas started the war is because the war only ever starts when Israel says it does, the ceasefire is only ever broken when Israel says it is. They control the narrative on all of that, because they are seen as legitimate whereas Palestinians are not. Israelis and other Zionists keep claiming that Hamas/Palestinians break every ceasefire, but if you look at the history it's the exact opposite: Israel attacks, there's an inevitable retaliation, and then they use THAT as the "cause" of the break. They do the same thing with the "start" of every war; they do something that causes retaliation, they act aggressively to cause a response, and then they blame the other side for retaliating/responding. AND EVERYONE JUST ACCEPTS IT. Israel started the war. Bernie needs to stop parroting their BS and acknowledge that Israel was starting the war over and over the entire year, with literal invasions, assaults on hospitals and refugee camps, etc. There's no standard for "started the war" that Israel didn't already meet before 10/7, but because they control the narrative, they're always the victim.

Idk when this segment was filmed but I was just scrolling IG and saw Chris Hayes put out a pretty good counter point to all this homogeneity of main stream media and actually go to bat for the students and the protests. Was weird seeing an MSNBC logo on the same screen while a pro-palestine sentiment is being expressed.

CONGRATS SMART THINKING AND BEST TO THE FUTURE TO MEHDI!!!!

HRW, Israel's 2018 "nation state" law - declaring that only Jews have the right of self-determination in the country - "provides a legal basis to pursue policies that favor Jewish Israelis to the detriment" of the country's 21% Arab minority, who regularly complain of discrimination.

USA needs a totally NEW system full stop. Pretty sick

"The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretext, infringed." -James Madison (Original draft of Bill of Rights, 1789)

What a deluge of long interview segments ❤

The Revolution won't be televised!

My 3 favorites! Thanks for having mehdi on! Great show, sam and emma!

I am happy to argue for 45 minutes about genicide, about criminality, about morality. I have devised a way of tying it all together and I'm happy to do it because only when we understand exactly what we are supporting can we stop it. You sadly are time constrained. I'm not. I talk about apartheid, genocide, fascism and morality every day because I'm right. Nobody can make me back down because the facts and even the definitions of the words are on my side. I don't allow false naratives when I have discussions with people about Israel. I also don't lose my sh** and bellow invective. I just tear apart arguments quietly and emphatically. Thanks, Mehdi. You give me some arguments I didn't think up myself. You are one of my resources.

Hey Medi!!

I have been looking for you Medhi You’re like no other So incredibly BRILLIANT I APPRECIATE YOU!!!

Wow, kind of a brave show and interview. we all should know the truth, and feel safe to speak it in a " Democratic" country like America..

Thank you so much, guys. Keep up the good work.

Israel owns us (U.S.),,,😪🇸🇩🇸🇩

The truth is coming out

I like Zeteo. It's great.

Nice job well done

Medhi, you are a ligth in this dark tunnel.

Love mehdi

What a treat ! Mehdi is a breath of fresh air.

Dana Bash was AIPAC?!?!?! 🤯🤬

Mehdi's mastery of details is amazing. I watch this stuff every day and think Sam's memory of events is amazing, and Mehdi's brain-database makes his look like a child! (No offense to Sam intended. Mehdi's just amazing.)

Democracy is unraveling before our eyes.

Go Zeteo!

So glad mehdi is free of msnbc .I wondered at the time ,how long he could last ,there .Too many restraints

Medhi thanks for all you do and to TMR team too

Thank you Sam and Emma ❤

I had this image that Bibi had just shoved him out there, and Biden seemed to be choking on his words.

Love this conversation.

Medhi is a shining star that illuminates truth whenever he speaks. You two are so wonderful also. Zeteo!

Ah, he wants that Canal.

thank you

Three beautiful souls ❤

honest question - whats the difference between "master race" and "chosen people"

Mehdi over here making it clear liberals aren't leftists and I'm here for it.

Mehdi is such a decent and intelligent man.

To be a student protesting to get assaulted and then to be told that you're being violent and not consume the assaulters is short to make sure those people never vote

Great show!

25:30: It's not a democracy, it's a republic. The difference is that in a democracy the people vote; all of them, especially the disenfranchised, 'demos' means the commoners, people without means. A republic is a state where a class of people controls the government; if it's a noble republic, like Poland was, then the votership is the aristocracy.

Old heads: what media coverage was worse, Israel or Iraq. I was only 7 on 9/11

Completely aligned with Mehdi's social conscience, but def not his fear of culinary experimentation: No coffee; tea; sushi; smoothies...WTF?

It should be "Students AGAINST GENOCIDE". The messaging battle is important.

Biden has to follow the law.

Will subscribe!🌊🌊🇺🇸

About having the Olympic Games in PALÄSTINA 🇵🇸 to help rebuild

Amazing Show , all truth nothing but the truth 👍👍👍

Mahdi is great person

If you talk about Hitler how evil hi's was just saying Netanyahu

Mehdi, Please include non-political shows, like sports, art, businesses, and culture.

Dana Bash or any other Person can give their views witout lying but Bash has been lying from day one. Come on! You have to cover facts as they are.

good prodcast

Great content, always a pleasure listening to Mehdi also.
