75 year long apartheid, 16 year long blockade of Gaza and now committing genocide. Evil
"If you steal on a small scale, they put you in jail and talk about it on TV and newspapers, and when you steal a whole country and culture and have a common enemy (who's not really the bad guy) with them, you have the governments and the nationalists of USA, Germany, India, France, Italy and England, as well as all of their ressources behind you."
75 years of colonisation not apartheid 75 years of palestinian holocaust not genocide

Thank you Abby. Independent journalists with journalistic integrity are the heroes of our time.

Thank you Dr Ahmad. And of course thank you Abby for all you do.
Ahmed has done NOTHING, he went to Gaza for a brief time then left.
Why hasn't Hamas accepted the ceasefire offers that have been made to them?
By refusing a ceasefire Hamas is placing Gazans at risk.
@@harrydestaffano565 because there have been no real ceasefire offered by the zionists. the only people putting gazans at risk are the zionists. and the gazans have been at risk since 1948 when the zionists began their campaign of murder and destruction
Many thanks Abby

And many more thanks to the doctor too
Dr Ahmad is a hero, as difficult as it is to hear, it’s important to understand how depraved humanity can be. Abby you are so courageous, it puts most journalists to shame. Thank you for who you are and what you do.
Perhaps more important is to understand the underlying system that perpetuates this systemic violence and inequality, that is, of course, market capitalism. See Abby Martin's interviews with Peter Joseph on this. Or just Peter Joseph's work like his Culture in Decline series and soon-to-be released film: Zeitgeist: Requiem!
Abby you are inspiring...a model of committed and honest journalism.Such empathy is rare thesedays
Lex Fridman quoting Earnest Hemingway. " Never think that war, no matter how necessary nor how justified, is not a crime."
Bombing civilians and civilian infrastructure in any country is a crime against humanity.
Earnest Hemingway & his list of lost generations never witnessed the Crimes, the injustice, the visceral savagery of Zionist entity & he never had to listen to their hasbara rhetoric attempting to justify genocide through dominating the airwaves of his own country.
Lex Friedman is a clown. He’s probably still trying to figure out if what Israel is doing is okay.
@Wise__guy You're a clown. Dumb_guy
All my REAL COMMENTS FAILED TO POST
WE'RE SO CENSORED TO THE REALITY OF WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON
For 20 years you havent wavered.
God bless you.
Abby for president. We love you for speaking out the truth. Which is hard for some people
I second the motion!👍👍
No matter who you put as present nothing will change because the rich establishment rule the US and the West! Especially the military industrial complex making hundreds billions of revenues from endless wars ... And Gulf states wealth supporting US economy ...
Frfr 👏🏾 🇺🇸 🌎
Would love to see Some one with Abbys thinking as your President, sadly wont happen because to be US president you must be a commited Zionist and pledge allegiance to Israel
Perhaps better: Dr. Cornel West for President (because he is actually running), and then Dr. Jill Stein for Vice President, Chris Hedges for Secretary of State and Abby Martin for Press Secretary as she would be the first one ever to tell the TRUTH about the US Empire's crimes against humanity.
The fact that this kind of genocide can take place in this day and age is very disturbing.
🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸
You social justice warriors are so ignorant. If israel wanted to commit genicide gaza and the west bank woudnt exist. Israel has been under attack constantly. Check your history...the blockade was a direct response to terrorist attacks
I am in tears listening to this but YT will not allow me to express my outrage at these heinous western crimes. Please, please, please keep on reporting on this shocking western sadism. The doctor is a hero. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

It's part of being vegan.
@@planetvegan7843 I love Abby and want the Palestinians freed but dont give veganism ALL rhe credit for Abby's goodness... although I respect vegans. But also don't forget that Hitler became a vegetarian later on in life and loved animals, even instituting legislation to punish animal abusers during his reign. And yes, i do know the difference between veganism and vegetarianism. But you get the idea.
Thank you Abby Martin for your consistent, excellent and true journalism. You are truly an inspiration. I appreciate you taking the time to interview Dr. Thaer Ahmad. I’m an ER doc as well who watched these hospitals and their personnel get destroyed. Broke my heart! God bless you for reporting this!
Thank you Abby and Dr Ahmad. We must not be silent while witnessing injustice.
Give it a break, dude. You're exhausting as f***.
❤
It's traumatic just listening to these brave doctors. Can't imagine what it must be like to actually be there 😢
The only therapy there is is to listen when you know what is happening and what the lies we hear from others are supporting the harm
Why do you think the doctor is brave. He went to Gaza for a brief amount of time then came back to the USA where he works as an emergency doctor.
Why hasn't Hamas accepted the ceasefire offers that have been made to them?

Thanks Abby, I appreciate your high level of empathy, restoring faith in journalism and humanity…
He’s right, you’re a legend, …here, in Europe as well
You could have easily picked an easy and comfortable life. There is nothing wrong with that, but you chose to fight for what's right. Most people won't pick your route because it comes with constant obstacles and criticism. Your moral compass will always be questioned. It's a choice that comes with a lot of risk..

Thank you both. ❤🇵🇸
Our patients have catastrophic injuries, amputations, crushed limbs, and severe burns. They need sophisticated care. They need long and intensive rehabilitation.
Medics cannot treat these injuries on a battlefield or in the ashes of destroyed hospitals. There are not enough hospital beds, not enough medications, and not enough supplies. Surgeons have had no choice but to carry out amputations without anesthesia, on children. SHAMEFUL
Healthcare workers of Gaza deserve the highest praise. They should be awarded the next Nobel Peace Prize, not that it means anything to them... but it would show us that there is still some humanity left in the world. It could give us a little bit of hope for the future of civilization...
Have a look at how the people of Wuhan and the Chinese government celebrated their medical workers at the end of the Covid lockdown. We need this 100 times over for the doctors resisting this horror in Gaza.
At the very least these brave doctors in Gaza should go down in history as humanitarian heroes!
Nobel Peace Prize? Maybe. But it's been given to a war criminal such as Obama, so it has lost its meaning.
Maybe a NEW Peace Prize created by Jewish Voices for Peace, or something like that, given to the Palestinian doctors and emergency workers after a peace deal is made where Palestinians are officially free from occupation and genocide.
The Nobel Peace prize goes to someone working for peace. The Healthcare workers who are in Gaza are working for Hamas.
Why hasn't Hamas accepted the ceasefire offers that have been made to them?
By refusing a ceasefire Hamas is placing Gazans at risk.
This is insanity
This is the violence of Late Stage Capitalism, I'm afraid.
The people at the top often are sociopaths and psychopaths, but the system created them into monsters and we NEED SYSTEM CHANGE if we want to see peace, freedom and sustainability in our future.
A must watch film coming out soon: Zeitgeist: Requiem by the brilliant Peter Joseph!
Check out the trailer, kicking it off with none other than Dr. Martin Luther King Jr!
Israelis will not escape their guilt by pleading insanity.
My God. Targeting hospitals and doctors is below the deepest depths of depravity.
I worked in Afghanistan with and without the Russians in 1988/89 for an international organisation. It was tough, but it it must have been like a Suday's walk, compared to the suffering in the Gaza strip. Stopp Israel!

Abby Martin is a beauty. Inside and out.
Thanks to George Galloway I found you!
Everyone should be required to watch this, especially Democratic and Republican voters (how people can vote for candidates in either of these parties is beyond me). Thank you for this important video. Abby Martin is a great journalist and this doctor is a hero!
Thank you Abby, you are a treasure … a true journalist with ethics and high standards.
The occupation targets the smartest people in a population - to destroy their future, it also happened in Bangladesh (for 9 months straight) in 1971
love your work Abby.Respect for standing up for what's right
As I read and learn about the history of this region, the more ashamed I am of this world. This was obviously going to happen again one day.
Have you ever read or watched Peter Joseph's work? It is quite eye opening. For me it is profoundly refreshing to hear someone who gets the systemic problem and the negative outcomes that come from it. And it is nice to start putting the pieces together about how we can approach system change. See Culture in Decline on YT and/or his new film Zeitgeist: Requiem.
Most doctors internationally at least. Good people and smart definitely worth listening to. Great work again Martin.
Mrs. Martin, the Lioness 💗💗💗 I have always adore your work since RT News. Let's GO Mrs. Martin!
Thanks Doc for your heroic bravery and righteous heart
I can’t even listen to this doctor much less witnessing this genocide live. Thank you Abby
Thank you Abby for everything you’ve been doing for Palestine. May God reward you and Mike immensely for your efforts. ❤️🩹🇵🇸
Ive been following Abbey for years you can see the angry pain in her eyes ❤
A far as I know only South Africa has the balls to be pressing for war crimes by the IDF. I can't believe the inhumanity being subjected by a people who should know better - and the US and its allies are complicit. It's like horrow show. It will not be forgotten
Abby you are an epic hero in this battle for truth. Please never stop
Listen to the real heroes in such a wicked cruel world Thanks to Abby for making clear
News you will never get on corporate outlets.
TRUTH itself you will never get on any corporate outlets...It's 80% or more propaganda with the occasional sprinkling of truth...
Abby. Wow! Your eyes pierce our souls with fierce empathy and coveted compassion. In this world in which it seems the only genocide that matters is the Holocaust, you shed light on precious life lost with necessary sparks. Good on you forever and justice and peace for All Palestinians immediately and for as long.
Islam - If you save one life, its as if. you saved all of humanity
It’s also a principle of Judaism. But as we’ve seen lately, these principles become rather flexible.
and if u kill a person, its as if u kill all of humanity.
How about killing one and saving another? Have you killed all of humanity and saved all of it at the same time? Empty phrases.
So if i've already killed one innocent person, might as well kill 4 more because it's already as if I killed all of humanity after the first right?
Really fokkin stupid phrase if u ask me. (Sorry a bit cranky on account of the genocide in Gaza)
Free Palestine
@@virityrealtual3831 I don't think you understand the idea behind the principle.
I hear ya, you are not cranky....and also your question make sense to explain further. Here is what I am regarding this whole situation on things.
. End of the day bro, God is the one who judges. If you believe in HIM, you will NOT kill, but protect. And if you did Kill and repent, and then that's up to HIS judgment - HE knows what is in your heart and HE is the All-Knowing. This world is a TEST for everyone....... Long story, short. @@virityrealtual3831
@@Arrakiz666 It is not a principle of Judaism. Senior Rabbis talk openly about the religious right and need to kill babies, children, innocent men and women. The Amalek. Are you not listening to your Rabbis?
I'm a Muslim, but I swear I would have the same tears in my eyes, the same sobs in my throat and the same aches in my heart if this would happen to anyone in this world. Its basic humanity...
I hope the doctors stays alive to testify before the ICJ.There should no way that the IDF can escape indictment.
Only now, 3 months later, with pictures of babies dying from starvation, has the US decided to take action to deal with this horror.
I gotta say I’m shocked by the low regard many American Congressmen have for Palestinians
It's more than 5 months now.
It is hard to imagine what is happening in Gaza yet, it is before our eyes and filmed.

If netanyahu doesn't want to be compared to hitler, he simply needs to stop behaving like hitler.
Too late
Actually, he is behaving more like FDR and Truman. Or do you think the 2 millon German and 650k Japanese civilians all died of the common cold.
Something I don't understand is if netanyahu realizes that he will go down in history as a genocidal maniac!? Does he realize this? Did Hitler realize his legacy would be of genocide and mass murder? Is netanyahu so deluded that he thinks he will be viewed positively by the public after the dust has settled? He isn't viewed positively by anybody with a heart and brain already!
Love him absolutely fab 😊

Thank both of you for expressing truth with courage.
Much love to the two of you
Thank you for this Dr Ahmed is soo brave
Thanks for this Abby. The doctor, prompted by your appropriate questions, has succinctly answered the questions that matter. This is stark.
Medical teams have added a new acronym to their vocabulary: WCNSF-wounded child, no surviving family.
Children who survive this war will not only bear the visible wounds of traumatic injuries but the invisible ones too-those of repeated displacement, constant fear, and witnessing family members literally dismembered before their eyes. These psychological injuries have led children as young as five to tell us they would prefer to die.
There are no words to describe the heartbreak and anger I’m feeling. What is happening to the people of Palestine is a stain and disgrace on our humanity. I hope the time will come very soon when humanity finally says in a united voice STOP and hold the perpetrators accountable for these horrendous atrocities. Dr Ahmad is right; the masks have fallen and the true nature of some so called ‘righteous’ people and their morally deprived nature has been unveiled. 🍉🇵🇸 ♥🍉🇵🇸 ♥
Absolutely. This is the most dreadfully psychopathic event in my life. It is an outrage against all of us.
And all western hypocritical virtue signalling. Look at george floyd movement and manufactured outrage for one drug adled man. Feminists. Western politicians exposed as disgusting vile evil hypocrites
Where are the Medical professionals saying stop the genocide?
Do No Harm? Code for medical practitioners. 😎👍🇵🇸
Thank you so much. God bless you both always.
Thanks for all you've been doing for years ❤❤ Free Palestine
Thank you kind , courageous doctor. Thank you Abby.
How can people become so evil
Thanks, Abby 💕
A harrowing but fantastic interview. Knowing the details as spoken by this amazing & brave doctor is necessary. And Abby, you are a legend, as the doc said.
After the 9/11 wars heard a lot of children were being born with defects. Now this. My heart prayers goes out to suffering in the middle east, and Japan
Thank you so much, both of you, for the work you do.
God bless you Abby and Dr.Ahmed.
So hard to believe that the average American is ok with paying for this , why ?
They just aren't well informed enough to know that their - our - taxes are funding this genocide because the corporate media doesn't tell them the truth...pathetic!
A large majority have been brainwashed by their religious leaders to believe that the imposters living in Israel calling themselves Jews are God’s chosen people and must be blessed in order for their lives to be blessed by God.
Mostly the reason is religion. They really think a book with subtractions, additions, alterations and modifications that says little hats are more special than anyone else and their imaginary friend gave them someone else's land... all of which was added later.
Thank you for your coverage
How can one be so evil. They are exposing themselves and now the whole world knows. These doctors are heroes, and so is Abby, who has been one of the very few that have been covering this from way before Oct 7th
Excellent interview as always Abby . Dr. Ahmad is a wonderful human being . Thank you for enduring such circumstances to help the most vulnerable of people ❤
Thanks to Abby & Dr. Ahmad for the engrossing discussion ❤️💚🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
MY God. WHERE IS THE RAGE from the world ?????????
How would the chosen like treatment like this ?
These stories aren’t “tragic”, they are gruesome and horrendous.
Thank you Doctor
As a Palestinian American, I pray everyday to GOD for even the slightest of Divine Intervention to help the people of Gaza. Unfortunately my faith in everything that I’ve come to know is waning by the day, unlike most of my fellow Palestinians who have no choice but to stay incredibly resilient. We are living in a time where Monsters rule the earth while demonizing the good and portraying themselves as the heroes and victims of terror while “programming” half of the world’s population to think like them. George Galloway recently said on his show (which Abby was coincidentally a guest on that day) “The people who rule us are the worst amongst us and they are dragging us ever closer to destruction.” Thank you Abby & Dr. Ahmad. 🙏🇵🇸😔
Prayer is a way for people to do nothing and FEEL like they're helping.
I pray for an end to this as well. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I hope we can all begin reconciliation soon. I hope the countries around the world help to rebuild & I hope the people in Gaza will never allow terrorists in their midst ever again.
This is just one more example of how organized religious gods are the ones ruling the earth. Meanwhile, the Creator doesn't seem to care whether or not man continues to commit atrocities on a worldwide basis. I suppose the choice between good and evil is yours...or is it?
