I’d highly recommend following the Electronic Intifada (EI). They’re sooo underrated, but their work is incredible and everything that mainstream media should be doing, but is’t.
If you're restricting your focus to American journalists, you're largely correct. If you look internationally there are quite a few really impeccable journalists around.
Thank you Mr. Lafreddo, you are a hero and so brave. I feel like you deserve the Medal of Freedom. I'm so sorry for the treatment you got. I never seen the level of hate that these people have.
💯… and No sham “trial” like Nuremberg was…ICJ/ICC must do a deep-dive full investigation and impose sentences and penalties on these sick people…. IS-RA-HELL has become a globe parish.. BD$ …
I really felt affected by Jeremy’s brave journalism and what happened to him. I was fortunate to bump into him a few days ago, and give him a big hug for what he has done and endured. He is an awesome guy all around. 😊
Thank you for showing him what all who respect human rights spontaneously feel about brave journalists who put their health and safety on the line to protect these essential rights.
Thank you Jeremy for bringing us the story of Palestinians in the West Bank. We would never truly understand the cruelty that befell these people. It's still difficult to comprehend how one group can be so heinous to another group of people.
I'm discusted and sick to my stomach after seeing that video of those sick and discustin.g excuses for human beings saying what should be done to poor Palestinian people. Thank you for your bravery Jeremy. Thank you Chris.
People like Chris and Jeremy save humanity from extinction Thank you for your service ( we need to start thanking the journalists just as we do service members, who unfortunately mostly end up serving the interests of military industrial complex)
Riveting testimony and virtuoso empathetic yet thorough elucidation of the devil in the details. No one living in the Western world should look away from this.
Bravo!!!!! All our so-called leaders in Washington should watch this and then tell us their thoughts and plans. Will they continue to back Israel? If so, it's additional proof against their integrity and respectability and they would then REALLY have to be held accountable. Thanks for your great work. Every best wish!
It would be an injustice to you both not to give appreciation for the fantastic work you do. Chris and Jeremy I thank you both. In 30 years Jeremy, if I'm still alive, I'd like to see you in the position of Chris, who to me is one of the most exemplary human beings and journalists of our time.
So glad you are out and safe Jeremy. So unreal and so frightening what could have happened as far as longer confinement or their known torture techniques. I can't believe the US Embassy did not offer more assistance. But due to their complicity with Israel, not really shocking. Stay safe. And thank you for your reporting. ❤
Thanks a lot for this interview with Jeremy Loffredo and sharing this conversation. Great insights and great journalism. Also, I found that Jeremy's reports not only are reporting on people's suffering and thoughts and looking for the truth but also they have a poetic and literary value and grace. Thank you both
I wish to thank Mr. Lofreddo for his reporting while maintaining both his personal and journalistic integrity under the most difficult conditions. Mr. Hedges, thank you for this discussion, keep ‘em coming. Beginning to think journalists in some parts of this world receive a form of SERE training.
This is even better than any work I've ever seen on mainstream corporate media. 60 minutes and all those other shows can try, and they do, I suppose, but even just in trying, they have to please so many masters that it can never be as truthful and incisive as this. All morality aside, I suppose. I'm just simply saying, this is prize-winning journalism. Instead, we're looking at and being informed by reports from a journalist who Israel decided to TORTURE, while the US just stood by. Knowing full well that anything he'd reported upon (in terms of secrecy being breached) had been done so by 60 minutes and other mainstream, for-profit corporate media outlets already (no secrecy was breached). It stinks to high heaven.
Just discovered this channel. It warms my heart that there are still honest people in the west seeing it for what it is. The astroicty and attacks where not committed because they are crazy terrorists. That would be beyond crazy for a people already living in hellish conditions.
Im sorry that i just cant see all this injustice and suffering anymore.. Is heartbreaking, infuriating and unbearable. I give up on humanity. I never want to hear the words justice, peace and human rights, all lied
The eviction of people from their homes is 💔💔💔... how can some human beings not be able to empathise with this and continue to believe the Israeli agenda😢😢😢
OMG. I'm halfway through and can't bear it. As an American Jewish cellist, I was in Jerusalem, playing in the Jerusalem Symphony, and my cousin invited me to go to Gaza, recently (1976) captured by Israel. In this video you see a clip of the sea. On the trip into Gaza I I saw mature date palms growing close to the ocean. It's completely understandable why someone (Jered Kushner) imagines hotels and condos there! It was a gorgeous, peaceful place--perfect for the wealthy and powerful. Ater listening to the left-wing Israeli in Loffredo's video, and knowing that the IDF was warned about the Hamas attack before October 7th, I'm wondering if Netanyahu purposely left the Kibbutz unprotected. It was full of left-wing Kibbutzniks, with a Palestinian-Israeli married couple living there. The thought sickens me, but does anyone have any information?
We really need to have an independent investigation done regarding that event. Colonel Mcgregor thinks its highly feasible that this was allowed to happen as there were highly trained IDF members witnessing activity before it occured and Egyptian officials reported that the Israeli govt had ignored warnings. But I would like to know too.
Yes he is being investigated by Israel Supreme Court because they gave him a lot of warnings and he didn’t listen. Then he made a fake report sheet or something like that. Israel could break into a civil war any second now. There’s a lot of internal fighting.
Thank you for your work Chris Hedges, and I say this as a Serb... I 100% condemn the atrocities committed by the ethno-nationalist Milošević regime, but I do find some catharsis in how this Palestinian situation is throwing into stark relief the hypocrisy and double standards imposed by the collective "west" on the rest of the world. The IDF killed more civilians in the first two weeks of this current flare up of the conflict than the Serbs killed in the entirety of the Kosovo war, and yet Israel is still the golden child and all of the west is bending over backwards to legitimize Israel's actions through propaganda. It's sickening. Here's hoping we'll get to watch Netanyahu sweat in the Hague, just as we watched Milošević.
Also, excellent choice of music. I believe it is 02 Ghosts from Nine-Inch Nails, the opening to Citizenfour (about Edward Snowden), by Laura Poitras. A perfect fit for the excruciatingly slow-motion tension in this documentary.
The entire situation is beyond disgusting - there are no words to adequately express the barbarity, often expressed on both sides of course. Israel is a disgrace and I am ashamed of those in the West who support her actions. Gaza will be a stain on that nations reputation.
his work keeps getting better and better, more practical as well. I sent Chris' post election vid to a Maddow loving longtime friend, the vid about the difference between a Trump admin vs. Dems, and what Kamala would have done, w/approval of all democrats. Chris said - in less than half an hour- what I've never been able to say. I don't have the gift of brevity. lastly, my Trump deranged friend -his ignorance defies belief- is "moving to Mexico"... "worse than Hitler", etc. called every journalist whose work I texted him (Max, Glenn, all of them, "Russian agents", yet he said, "well, that guy seems okay, not sure though" - his way of saying, "I trust him, he seems honest, truthful." we respect & need you, Chris! pls let Chris know abt his influence on ppl like my friend who call me a trumper (not!) because I refuse to vote for either party. we need to reach these ppl. ty
What kind of so-called religion or society promotes such vicious cruelty? My experience of Jewish school mates who moved to my Long Island town, Wantagh, when new suburbs were built were mainly very positive & I admired some who were very talented, e.g., I could only make it to second chair violinist in our High school orchestra sitting next to a very talented Jewish girl whom I admired. But when a boy I knew well came back from visiting Israel the first time, he was spewing very nasty bigotry.
When he thought: THEY don't have anything against me , nothing was illegal. 🙄 Boy you don't / didn't understand THEY don't need it to torture or kill you.
Thank you Chris and Jeremy. Independent journalists with journalistic integrity are the heroes of our time.
He is a brave journalist.
INDEED❤!
Chris Hedges and the people at the Grayzone are (to me) the best modern journalists we have. Love seeing them come together.
that's because they refuse to be stenographers for the security apparatus.. and they have paid a price for it
@sonyjoseph5426 they're craftsmen, not careerists
I’d highly recommend following the Electronic Intifada (EI). They’re sooo underrated, but their work is incredible and everything that mainstream media should be doing, but is’t.
If you're restricting your focus to American journalists, you're largely correct. If you look internationally there are quite a few really impeccable journalists around.
@@9UaYXxB I think they both stand on their own merits against any journalist globally...
Thank you Mr. Lafreddo, you are a hero and so brave. I feel like you deserve the Medal of Freedom. I'm so sorry for the treatment you got. I never seen the level of hate that these people have.
Respect to you Jeremy and Chris. Thank you.
The hate is shocking. It's hard to believe.
No amount of words , documentation can fully capture the plight of Palestinians
When you travel to Palestine and experience it for yourself it becomes less shocking.
It's a sick society from top to bottom.
There will be no peace without justice, no justice without truth. These journalists do crucial work for justice. They are courageous.
💯… and No sham “trial” like Nuremberg was…ICJ/ICC must do a deep-dive full investigation and impose sentences and penalties on these sick people…. IS-RA-HELL has become a globe parish.. BD$ …
Well said.
hatred is so awful, violence never works...truth is so important...bravo Chris and Jeremy
Two fine humans that simply research & report with truth & courage 👏
Great truthful journalists!
I really felt affected by Jeremy’s brave journalism and what happened to him. I was fortunate to bump into him a few days ago, and give him a big hug for what he has done and endured. He is an awesome guy all around. 😊
Thank you for showing him what all who respect human rights spontaneously feel about brave journalists who put their health and safety on the line to protect these essential rights.
@ it was so spontaneous and the energy was so evident. Hard to describe, but palpable ☺️🙏
When hate is the truth, it hurts, but still must be told. Thank you REAL journalists!
Thank you Jeremy for bringing us the story of Palestinians in the West Bank. We would never truly understand the cruelty that befell these people. It's still difficult to comprehend how one group can be so heinous to another group of people.
Yes m
Thank you for your opinion
Both of these guys do great work.
I'm discusted and sick to my stomach after seeing that video of those sick and discustin.g excuses for human beings saying what should be done to poor Palestinian people. Thank you for your bravery Jeremy. Thank you Chris.
I’m so sick of being an American Taxpayer.
Thank you for this. Wholeheartedly agree that the Grayzone and Chris are among the best journalists we have in the US. True heros.
Good to see Jeremy being recognized by a veteran legend.
The segments of the reports you showed are masterpieces.
This is cruelty beyond belief & our tax dollars are paying for it.
Yup the impunity is the most disturbing part.
Great interview , thanks 🇵🇸
People like Chris and Jeremy save humanity from extinction

So sorry you went through this horrific experience
Solidarity to you
Bravo!!!!! All our so-called leaders in Washington should watch this and then tell us their thoughts and plans. Will they continue to back Israel? If so, it's additional proof against their integrity and respectability and they would then REALLY have to be held accountable.
Thanks for your great work. Every best wish!
US Politicians know about this, but pretend not to. They are the most phoney, Selfish, disingenuous Garbage on Earth.
It would be an injustice to you both not to give appreciation for the fantastic work you do. Chris and Jeremy I thank you both. In 30 years Jeremy, if I'm still alive, I'd like to see you in the position of Chris, who to me is one of the most exemplary human beings and journalists of our time.

Thank you for keeping the light of truth burning. Chris Hedges and the Grayzone are mainstay of journalistic integrity and professionalism.
People who support this kind of behavior and Genocide,can't expect anything good for themselves. Such sick spirits!
And thank you both for this excellent interview and for the brave reporting. That takes guts. 🙏👏👏👏
How can people NOT see the similarities between israelis and Nazis? Like nothing has ever been as obvious.
Agree 100%.
Wow. The most important reporting to come out of the war front.
When is this injustice going to end?
Saddly It would appear ...never. The west stands aside while israel commits atrocity after atrocity
Great interviews as always. Thank you to these reporters for the risk of doing much to show what the main street media doesn't show!!
Thanks a lot for this interview with Jeremy Loffredo and sharing this conversation. Great insights and great journalism. Also, I found that Jeremy's reports not only are reporting on people's suffering and thoughts and looking for the truth but also they have a poetic and literary value and grace. Thank you both
Excellent as usual. Commenting to help the algorithm get this info out there!!!
I'm only 21 minutes in..
I'm sure Chris would agree with me. You are a credit to God and your family Jeremy. Thank you Maori 🚼 Jeebus 🙏
Chris Hedges will always have my respect for his work he has done from Bosnia during the war.
Pray for peace.
I wish to thank Mr. Lofreddo for his reporting while maintaining both his personal and journalistic integrity under the most difficult conditions. Mr. Hedges, thank you for this discussion, keep ‘em coming.
Beginning to think journalists in some parts of this world receive a form of SERE training.
Good job Jeremy
Important work

Excellent as always
thank you chris hedges
Lafredo is amazing. Thank you!
Just discovered this channel. It warms my heart that there are still honest people in the west seeing it for what it is. The astroicty and attacks where not committed because they are crazy terrorists. That would be beyond crazy for a people already living in hellish conditions.
Thank you both for the incredible work you do
ty both...love the reporting Mr hedges
Damn the judge saved his life
It is always heartbreaking to hear about the hell the Palestinians are going thru.Thank you for helping them!
Phenomenal and important journalism. Thank you for sharing.
Watching from Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. Thank you Chris. Much respect for the courage and the journalistic integrity of Jeremy Loffredo.
The Stars and Stripes and the Star of David are the two greatest faces of evil on this planet.
Don't forget the Union Jack.
Brave lad Jeremy, glad you are safe.

I have no words except thank you gentlemen.
Im sorry that i just cant see all this injustice and suffering anymore..
Is heartbreaking, infuriating and unbearable. I give up on humanity. I never want to hear the words justice, peace and human rights, all lied
Thank you for this video.
The eviction of people from their homes is 💔💔💔... how can some human beings not be able to empathise with this and continue to believe the Israeli agenda😢😢😢
This is horrendous.
Your courage and integrity are what this world lacks. Thank you!
Great conversation. Thank you both for your reporting. A couple of top notch journalists in my opinion.
Thanks!
Shame on the world to stay silent towards the most and cruelest act against humanity 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
It seems the evil satanic powers have most of the world controlled. Satan's goal is to give these demons the world. One day they will all be abyssed.

"The Linda Blair effect" - there's not much room for levity on this topic. but thank you Chris for providing some.
God Help -All……..🌞
JEREMY GRACIAS excellent reporting
Also, excellent choice of music. I believe it is 02 Ghosts from Nine-Inch Nails, the opening to Citizenfour (about Edward Snowden), by Laura Poitras. A perfect fit for the excruciatingly slow-motion tension in this documentary.
Terrifying.
Amazing report! Jeremy you are the best human being to come out of Toms river NJ by far
Chilling. I am ashamed to be human. None the less, thank you for the reports.
The entire situation is beyond disgusting - there are no words to adequately express the barbarity, often expressed on both sides of course.
Israel is a disgrace and I am ashamed of those in the West who support her actions. Gaza will be a stain on that nations reputation.
thx jeremy and chris
The Linda Blair FX! wow what a great analogy!
Pulitzer Prize winning reporting.
How long does Netanyahu think it will get away with that kind of behaviour?
SO F****** BADASS!! 💖🕋💅🥶🏁🫷

Thank you Chris.
Jeremy you are a hero! 🙏💔🌿👊
Indoctrination is insidious, but it is not normal to deny someone's humanity when you regularly interact with them. They need deprogramming.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
