Mehdi should be ashamed of himself for advocating rewarding the democrats with re-election for carrying out a genocide of the Palestinian people. Ask the Palestinians and the people of the world who is evil. Biden and his fascist white house.
@@portmantologist Friend, can you blame Israel to respond? Hezbollah have been attacking Israel non stop since October 8th, 2023! Don't forget Israel was attacked first by Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis,and Iran! Knowing that your enemy's clear goal is to diminish you and your people out of Israel from the river to the sea. How would you respond to your enemies if you were Israel ?
Israel is defending itself , Hezbollah under iranian control has taken over lebanon , which in 1947 was 70% christian on independence , look when muslims take over ?
@TomBrown-o6j Nothing but peace! There were no new wars during his presidency. He established the Abraham Accord, but the Biden-Harris administration started funding Iran billions of American tax dollars, which enabled Iran to build nuclear weapons and fund the terrorist organizations solely to attack Israel and diminish the Jewish people fromthe river to the sea! That's very sad!
So what's the difference. Biden and Harris let Netanyahu do whatever he pleases. OH yes, they come out form time to time saying that they are still working on the cease fire - which is a joke since Bibi openly stated that he will not listen to them - - and then go right ahead and send weapons and money to him anyway. What the heck do you mean that the war will escalate to neighboring countries? It already has. Israel besides killing Palestinians in Gaza and the West bank are know killing any Arabs in Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon and have already attacked Iran twice.
so this is really a tough choice... vote for Harris means 'oh what a pity but go on Israel', vote for a 3rd candidate and Trump might win with 'come get some!'
Trump voters: 2016: "We like him because he says what he means, and he means what he says!" 2017: "He didn't mean it like that!" 2018: "He didn't mean it like that!" 2019: "He didn't mean it like that!" 2020: "He didn't mean it like that!" 2021: "He didn't mean it like that!" 2022: "He didn't mean it like that!" 2023: "He didn't mean it like that!" 2024: "He didn't mean it like that!"
Hitler's rise might have been stopped had those political parties in opposition to the Nazis united to defeat the Nazis in the 1933 election instead of rigidly refusing to cooperate with each other against the immediate danger of a fascist takeover. Or how, during the Spanish Civil War, the defenders of Spain's democratically elected government failed to maintain a united front against Franco's fascist invaders. Democratic Spain's defenders split into communists and anticommunist factions, which fought each other while they were both still fighting the war against the fascist invaders. Franco defeated both squabbling factions and ended democracy in Spain for forty years. All through those decades of Franco's dictatorship, Franco hunted down, imprisoned, tortured, and executed all who opposed him. Don't let history repeat itself again.
Good points that you made. Perhaps this was a reminder on the true nature of the situation in Spain and Germany. A sizable chunk of the population and organizations preferred a fascist takeover. This was especially so among the people that were described as mainstream conservatives. Big Business interests, the wider military, persons of aristocratic heritage, the mid-upper class intelligentsia and the clergy. Kind of similar to the Trump backers. The big losers were likely to be the low end MAGA crowd who wanted less intervention and more attention at home. That would never take place, regardless of what Trump thought.
voting is the least you can do in a real democracy. But there is a deeper scam going on if you really study Platonic philosophy - it's rotten to the core. Mother Nature is taking revenge fast. Don't trust yourself either - are you a biological machine that turns off when you go into deep dreamless sleep? Or is your true Self still existing and something deeper than your thinking and perceptions.

Medhi Hassan - the greatest modern day journalist and broadcaster. A super hero. Thanks for all you do and say and broadcast, If only people listened and believed you more,,,,
This was a very good interview. Thanks for letting Mehdi flush out his thoughts on this matter. The cruel reality is difficult to reckon with one and only solution, Free US from AIPAC
I resent the US for putting the entire population in this position. We're all being cornered into choosing Genocide or potentially "more" Genocide. My vote doesnt have power because I cant use it to impose political influence in the way that I want. I have to use it to influence politics the way the politicians want.
Best Action: Leave The USA.... with kith and Kin Lock Stock & Barrel...to either Afghanistan , Pakistan, Turkey, Malaysia, Sudan, Yemen , Sudan, S Arabia, are only a few out of may such great countries to choose from.
I'm an American & I look to foreign media sources to understand the USA. I rarely, if ever, watch US mainstream media. Even on my GroundNews app, I mainly follow foreign media/news sources. The US media networks I do follow on there are all local news channels/newspapers from small towns across the US. They're still making an effort to do _actual_ "journalism", particularly investigative journalism. The mainstream media in the US has seemingly abandoned investigative journalism almost, if not absolutely, entirely. Sure, they'll have on an investigative journalist for an interview or as part of a panel discussion every now & then, but they rarely give them enough oxygen to complete more than a couple of short sentences, if that. They're _always_ interrupted before they can either answer the question they've just been asked, or make the cogent point they'd articulated in the article they'd written that got the mainstream outlet's attention & led to them being asked on the show to begin with. It negates the entire reason they were asked to appear on the network!! So they basically just wasted all the time they'd spent both getting ready to go on-air & on-air, plus the time it took to travel from wherever they're based to the studio. _And_ they wasted the $$ they had to shell out for the plane ticket they only purchased so they could get to the studio after receiving the network's invitation, which for the average Joe Journalist isn't exactly a small chunk of change. Nowadays journalists who are actually talented & doing the real heavy lifting in that field of work aren't getting paid _near_ enough for the invaluable products of their labour, while mainstream media commentators are literally making _millions_ for work of far lower quality that requires much less time to produce, it's far less labour intensive & their job takes much less talent (if any at all) to actually do. Imo what they provide is pretty dang worthless, so much so it's hard for me to even consider it _real_ work. It's so friggin' infuriating!!!😠😡🤬
PS: I've been a fan of Medhi's since back when he was still at The_Intercept, so for about 10+ years now. His work has never let me down, it's always been worth the time it's taken me to give it a read (or watch). He's always been an absolutely brilliant journalist (and human being).
Medhi is correct about our U.S. system, it's stupid. I'm not in one of the few swing states, so no matter how I vote my state's electoral vote will go to Trump. We aren't a democracy and never were.
You're smarter than that. Your state is going to Trump because the majority of folks in your state are voting for Trump. That is the definition of democracy.
We never were designed to be a democracy. You only think that because the democrats keep lying to you. Read the Constitution. We were created as a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy.
Correct….Bravo….. we are not a “Democracy” we are a Constitutional Republic. That is by design. Do your homework please We are not a Democracy, thank God
Yeah, who do those Palestinians think they are voting against their own genocide, we need to re-elect the parties committing it right? Glad someone's using their head around here. That's what makes you great, special and chosen, God Bless America and no place else! right?
What pisses me off about this entire situation for someone who is either muslim or pro-palestinian, or even arab / brown is the fact that no matter where you live in the world, you are living in a country that is complicit in the genocide. People who say "why don't you move somewhere else if you hate it so much" don't understand that there is nowhere else to move. If you're an American where do you move to? Canada? Europe? Pretty much almost all of the countries which speak English are supporting the genocide. Even countries which you would default to like "UAE" "Saudi" "Qatar" are all complicit in the genocide to begin with, and are actively assisting Israel. AND even if you found a country with a similar standard of living to the west which was not complicit in the genocide, you have to completely uproot your life and move somewhere completely different, find a job with foreign experience / education (good luck), the huge finances of moving somewhere else, learn different cultural customs, go through lengthy citizenship processes, probably learn a new language, etcetera, it's not exactly an easy thing to do. It's just so gut wrenching that you as a single person have so little power to do anything, while the boycotts work, American foreign policy will still be the same, and the only power you do have through democracy is garbage, you are essentially FORCED to give the democratic party your vote because of Trump's 100% promises of death and destruction and white supremacy, yet the democratic party is 99% about death and destruction but without the white supremacy. You have Kamala literally calling protesters (WHO ARE EXERCISING THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT WHICH IS FREE SPEECH AND FREEDOM TO PROTEST BY THE WAY) terrorists, and nazis, and "unamerican" and we're supposed to vote for this soulless husk of a human being simply because the other option is Nazi Germany? It's like choosing between eating stinky dogshit, or dogshit that doesn't smell, it's still dogshit.
"...and we're supposed to vote for this soulless husk of a human being bc/ the other option is Nazi Germany..." Hahaha, I laughed out loud bc/ it's so not funny but that is the disgusting truth of our predicament as humans now. A gen*cide is still unfolding before our eyes and there is nothing we can do about it even tho there is 4 months of food that can feed 1.5 million people waiting outside the Rafah x-ing. And this is what was voted for, one or the other of two evils. There was a choice to vote Green, for a wise and intelligent option in Jill Stein but who knew! The system is so rigged with the electoral college and the two business party system. Instead of laughing at our predicament I feel like screaming!!!!
This man (MH) expresses himself with GREAT ELOQUENCE. He's so sensible. Trump's craziness makes us do absurd mental exercices whereas the situation is very simple: NOTHING CAN BE WORSE THAN NUTSY DONALD
Some people think Trump will end the war between Israel and Palestine because he says so. Imo, I think the most he will do could be not providing Israel with the weapons and put America first like he always says. I believe the war will continue and he will definitely be aloof. Again, my opinion.
He wants Israel to finish the job. So he'll likely give Israel the support it needs to end the Palestinian state and then it'll REALLY be finished. He is NOT stopping the support to Israel, there is no precedent under his presidency to indicate he'll stop supporting Israel. Virtually nobody on the right wants our support to Israel to stop. Trump doing an arms embargo is IMPOSSIBLE. Sorry.
If he stops providing weapons then that's enough reason to vote.( Yeah I know he won the election) But he will 100% not do this unfortunately. He even said he will let -rael finish the job. He may probably show more support to the gen-cide.
@@siam580 I definitely agree with your pov. I don't think either candidate was good for the war but one was better than the other(in terms of who would listen ). I felt with Harris you could protest and pressure her govt to end the war but then again she didn't break with Biden so I guess the mass didn't like that. I guess the mass felt the Trump's "tough man approach" will be better for the war. I have a bad feeling that Palestine could cease to exist under his administration but lets hope for the best and that Trump could end the war.

@@jamesmedina2062 no it’s not. A vote for her is a vote for her. Just because that takes away votes from Harris doesn’t mean we’re voting for Trump. We’re voting for a third party if we get 5% votes we can break the two party system by mandating funding for the third party. The more we keep giving up on making a change the more nothing will ever change. This is the long game and we need to play the long game. If Trump wins because Harris has proven to be heartless and careless that’s on her and her goons. They voted Trump in.
@@jamesmedina2062 regardless what undemodcratic propaganists say: a vote for jill stein is a vote for jill stein. If you want to have her votes you have to offer something to the electorate. I find it quite stunning how americans act towards democracy it is a real shame.
It means who the next administrator is to be employed by the public and left unsupervised with free access to tax contributionsfor their pet projects and those of their chums, and no way to be fired for another four years. Democracy is pathetic.
"This is the great power of the two party system. The Republicans are in charge of promoting the interests of the corporate rulers and to push it as far as they can. The Democrats are to control the people so that no opposition ever appears. That's a very different task and therefore they appear as very different parties, but they serve the same monied interests and they actually work together as a team to create utter confusion in America. - Peter Camejo
The best election analogy I can think of: Kid rides a bike and falls, breaking his leg. Doctor sets it and puts it in a cast for 3 months. When he takes it off, his dad asks him if he'll ride his bike more carefully now, and the kid says, "No, I love going fast. But I'm not going to that doctor again, he put me in a cast for 3 months and it hurt like hell!"
TO ALL US CITIZENS... WAKE UP !!! YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT TRUMP WILL BE NOT ELECTED... IT WILL BE A NIGHTMARE FOR YOUR OWN COUNTRY AND THE REST OF THE WORLD !
Friend, DO NOT BELIEVE THE LIES! President Trump is not what the left-wing mainstream media and the so-called experts' opinions about President Trump! He is a great president! He loves America, and he cares about the American people! I encourage you to check his track record as a president as well as his personal life as a business man. He is not perfect! He doesn't speak with eloquence, but he is authentic! He put his words into action! He was a strong leader and well respected by world leaders! He made peace! No new wars! Think about it friend! Have a blessed day 🙏

one and only solution, Free US from AIPAC
Those who think things cant get worse lack imagination
This is what democracy is all about. People voted for who they want end of story
I resent the US for putting the entire population in this position. We're all being cornered into choosing Genocide or potentially "more" Genocide. My vote doesnt have power because I cant use it to impose political influence in the way that I want. I have to use it to influence politics the way the politicians want.
American democracy is very slow… ask any group it takes a lifetime to make the change you want.
@thegoodpimps you mean American Moneycracy
..
Only you believe that because you bought the propaganda, vote green
We should listen to the people who are actually experiencing it: "It's Bisan from Gaza and Will the U.S. Election Bring Relief or More Suffering?"
Best Action: Leave The USA.... with kith and Kin Lock Stock & Barrel...to either Afghanistan , Pakistan, Turkey, Malaysia, Sudan, Yemen , Sudan, S Arabia, are only a few out of may such great countries to choose from.
Agree with Mehdi!!
My all-time favorite anchor
EXCELLENT! Mehdi has pretty much nailed it. Always look to foreign news media to understand The USA!
I'm an American & I look to foreign media sources to understand the USA. I rarely, if ever, watch US mainstream media. Even on my GroundNews app, I mainly follow foreign media/news sources. The US media networks I do follow on there are all local news channels/newspapers from small towns across the US. They're still making an effort to do _actual_ "journalism", particularly investigative journalism.
The mainstream media in the US has seemingly abandoned investigative journalism almost, if not absolutely, entirely. Sure, they'll have on an investigative journalist for an interview or as part of a panel discussion every now & then, but they rarely give them enough oxygen to complete more than a couple of short sentences, if that. They're _always_ interrupted before they can either answer the question they've just been asked, or make the cogent point they'd articulated in the article they'd written that got the mainstream outlet's attention & led to them being asked on the show to begin with. It negates the entire reason they were asked to appear on the network!! So they basically just wasted all the time they'd spent both getting ready to go on-air & on-air, plus the time it took to travel from wherever they're based to the studio. _And_ they wasted the $$ they had to shell out for the plane ticket they only purchased so they could get to the studio after receiving the network's invitation, which for the average Joe Journalist isn't exactly a small chunk of change.
Nowadays journalists who are actually talented & doing the real heavy lifting in that field of work aren't getting paid _near_ enough for the invaluable products of their labour, while mainstream media commentators are literally making _millions_ for work of far lower quality that requires much less time to produce, it's far less labour intensive & their job takes much less talent (if any at all) to actually do. Imo what they provide is pretty dang worthless, so much so it's hard for me to even consider it _real_ work.
It's so friggin' infuriating!!!😠😡🤬
PS: I've been a fan of Medhi's since back when he was still at The_Intercept, so for about 10+ years now. His work has never let me down, it's always been worth the time it's taken me to give it a read (or watch). He's always been an absolutely brilliant journalist (and human being).
A vote for Trump is a vote for Israel. Don’t waste your vote on Trump.
CORRECT !!!
@@manubandemany of us think the same. But here’s a reality check: A vote for Harris is also a VOTE for Israel.
@@woodsroamer6175OK... But out of the two... Which one is WORSE??? Think Carefully...
@@sdwoneone is currently aiding a g e no and the other might continue aiding a Geno civ
What about Biden or Harris?
I was undecided. After Medhi opened his mouth I am voting Trump.
Medhi is correct about our U.S. system, it's stupid. I'm not in one of the few swing states, so no matter how I vote my state's electoral vote will go to Trump. We aren't a democracy and never were.
You're smarter than that. Your state is going to Trump because the majority of folks in your state are voting for Trump. That is the definition of democracy.
We never were designed to be a democracy. You only think that because the democrats keep lying to you. Read the Constitution. We were created as a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy.
medhi is a fraud
@@josephshields2922 we are technically a republic, not a democracy
Correct….Bravo….. we are not a “Democracy” we are a Constitutional Republic. That is by design. Do your homework please We are not a Democracy, thank God
Mehdi is throughly right.
The third party is screwed in this two-party system in America.
It sums up to worse or even worse.
100% with mehdi
No sense in duckin' when you're in for a fu-kin' 😂 😂 😂
the Palestinians in Michigan are making a big mistake protesting Harris and not voting for her.. this just helps trump.
Yeah, who do those Palestinians think they are voting against their own genocide, we need to re-elect the parties committing it right? Glad someone's using their head around here. That's what makes you great, special and chosen, God Bless America and no place else! right?
We should not reward genocide supporters
No Palestinians should vote fir Democrats ever again. Democrats candidates not allowed Palestinians to talk on Democratic convention in The Chicago.
Big up Mehdi
Mehdi is brilliant and among the best communicators of our day. I really appreciate his work and his words. Thanks, Mehdi.
“No matter what political disagreements and political animus and anger we have at Hamas and the leadership in Gaza, those kids are innocent.”
You are correct sir
What pisses me off about this entire situation for someone who is either muslim or pro-palestinian, or even arab / brown is the fact that no matter where you live in the world, you are living in a country that is complicit in the genocide. People who say "why don't you move somewhere else if you hate it so much" don't understand that there is nowhere else to move. If you're an American where do you move to? Canada? Europe? Pretty much almost all of the countries which speak English are supporting the genocide. Even countries which you would default to like "UAE" "Saudi" "Qatar" are all complicit in the genocide to begin with, and are actively assisting Israel. AND even if you found a country with a similar standard of living to the west which was not complicit in the genocide, you have to completely uproot your life and move somewhere completely different, find a job with foreign experience / education (good luck), the huge finances of moving somewhere else, learn different cultural customs, go through lengthy citizenship processes, probably learn a new language, etcetera, it's not exactly an easy thing to do.
It's just so gut wrenching that you as a single person have so little power to do anything, while the boycotts work, American foreign policy will still be the same, and the only power you do have through democracy is garbage, you are essentially FORCED to give the democratic party your vote because of Trump's 100% promises of death and destruction and white supremacy, yet the democratic party is 99% about death and destruction but without the white supremacy. You have Kamala literally calling protesters (WHO ARE EXERCISING THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT WHICH IS FREE SPEECH AND FREEDOM TO PROTEST BY THE WAY) terrorists, and nazis, and "unamerican" and we're supposed to vote for this soulless husk of a human being simply because the other option is Nazi Germany? It's like choosing between eating stinky dogshit, or dogshit that doesn't smell, it's still dogshit.
"...and we're supposed to vote for this soulless husk of a human being bc/ the other option is Nazi Germany..." Hahaha, I laughed out loud bc/ it's so not funny but that is the disgusting truth of our predicament as humans now. A gen*cide is still unfolding before our eyes and there is nothing we can do about it even tho there is 4 months of food that can feed 1.5 million people waiting outside the Rafah x-ing. And this is what was voted for, one or the other of two evils. There was a choice to vote Green, for a wise and intelligent option in Jill Stein but who knew! The system is so rigged with the electoral college and the two business party system. Instead of laughing at our predicament I feel like screaming!!!!
This man (MH) expresses himself with GREAT ELOQUENCE. He's so sensible. Trump's craziness makes us do absurd mental exercices whereas the situation is very simple: NOTHING CAN BE WORSE THAN NUTSY DONALD
Mehdi the legend 👍🏼
Some people think Trump will end the war between Israel and Palestine because he says so. Imo, I think the most he will do could be not providing Israel with the weapons and put America first like he always says. I believe the war will continue and he will definitely be aloof. Again, my opinion.
His son in law is a staunch Zionist
He wants Israel to finish the job. So he'll likely give Israel the support it needs to end the Palestinian state and then it'll REALLY be finished. He is NOT stopping the support to Israel, there is no precedent under his presidency to indicate he'll stop supporting Israel. Virtually nobody on the right wants our support to Israel to stop. Trump doing an arms embargo is IMPOSSIBLE. Sorry.
Why does anyone believe anything that comes out of his mouth?
If he stops providing weapons then that's enough reason to vote.( Yeah I know he won the election) But he will 100% not do this unfortunately. He even said he will let -rael finish the job. He may probably show more support to the gen-cide.
@@siam580 I definitely agree with your pov. I don't think either candidate was good for the war but one was better than the other(in terms of who would listen ). I felt with Harris you could protest and pressure her govt to end the war but then again she didn't break with Biden so I guess the mass didn't like that. I guess the mass felt the Trump's "tough man approach" will be better for the war. I have a bad feeling that Palestine could cease to exist under his administration but lets hope for the best and that Trump could end the war.
Vote green for Dr. Jill Stein she’s our Jewish sister, but she’s not Zionist and she cares about us Americans, our homeless people, our economy and our lives not like Trump and Camela Harris💚💚💚💚💚
yes I agree but she already ran and cannot win so why vote for Trump? A vote for Jill is a vote for the Donald.
😂
Jill Stein is the product of an anti Black Culture. Pass.
@@jamesmedina2062 no it’s not. A vote for her is a vote for her. Just because that takes away votes from Harris doesn’t mean we’re voting for Trump. We’re voting for a third party if we get 5% votes we can break the two party system by mandating funding for the third party. The more we keep giving up on making a change the more nothing will ever change. This is the long game and we need to play the long game. If Trump wins because Harris has proven to be heartless and careless that’s on her and her goons. They voted Trump in.
@@jamesmedina2062 regardless what undemodcratic propaganists say: a vote for jill stein is a vote for jill stein. If you want to have her votes you have to offer something to the electorate. I find it quite stunning how americans act towards democracy it is a real shame.
Mehdi is a force of nature indeed.
Mehdi is cogent and correct as always. Miss him in prime media
Medhi is brilliant
It means who the next administrator is to be employed by the public and left unsupervised with free access to tax contributionsfor their pet projects and those of their chums, and no way to be fired for another four years. Democracy is pathetic.
Why is someone who was impeached, even allowed to run again?
I hope folks in Dearborn are watching this!!!
"This is the great power of the two party system. The Republicans are in charge of promoting the interests of the corporate rulers and to push it as far as they can. The Democrats are to control the people so that no opposition ever appears. That's a very different task and therefore they appear as very different parties, but they serve the same monied interests and they actually work together as a team to create utter confusion in America. - Peter Camejo
The best election analogy I can think of: Kid rides a bike and falls, breaking his leg. Doctor sets it and puts it in a cast for 3 months. When he takes it off, his dad asks him if he'll ride his bike more carefully now, and the kid says, "No, I love going fast. But I'm not going to that doctor again, he put me in a cast for 3 months and it hurt like hell!"
He has changed and deepened my view on these issues.. very in depth point of view. Tks
Then you are one gullible individual 😂
MEHADY💯👍👍👍👍👍👍

Huge fan of Mehdi Hassan.
I listened to an Imam and I was "what the hec?!" Where has he been all these years???? 😢
Thank u mehdi
I remember Trump, he was always on the golf course.
“He had an evil face, smoothed by hypocrisy; but his manners were excellent.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
TO ALL US CITIZENS... WAKE UP !!! YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT TRUMP WILL BE NOT ELECTED...
IT WILL BE A NIGHTMARE FOR YOUR OWN COUNTRY AND THE REST OF THE WORLD !
Friend, DO NOT BELIEVE THE LIES! President Trump is not what the left-wing mainstream media and the so-called experts' opinions about President Trump! He is a great president! He loves America, and he cares about the American people! I encourage you to check his track record as a president as well as his personal life as a business man. He is not perfect! He doesn't speak with eloquence, but he is authentic! He put his words into action! He was a strong leader and well respected by world leaders! He made peace! No new wars! Think about it friend! Have a blessed day 🙏
watch that pager Mehdi
worry about your own country not US
