Mehdi Debates Right-Wing Podcasters on Iran, Israel and Immigration
Zeteo's editor-in-chief appeared on the popular UK politics podcast, 'Triggernometry', to take on pro-Israel hosts Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster on the Iran war, AIPAC, 'open borders,' and more.
If you’ve been waiting for a good-faith, wide-ranging, substantive, lengthy debate between Mehdi and the right on hot-button issues like Israel, Iran and immigration, well… the wait is over.
It was two against one as Zeteo’s editor-in-chief appeared on the popular UK politics podcast ‘Triggernometry,’ to take on right-wing hosts Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster.
Mehdi, as ever, didn’t hold back as the three of them discussed and debated:
How this Iran war began (“There’s a history of Israel bombing [Iran] every time we’re close to a deal”)
The role of AIPAC (“There is an Israel lobby that has massive, oversized influence on American politics”)
The left’s response to rising immigration (“You triggered me with ‘open borders’”)
Which Democratic candidates may have a chance of winning in 2028 (“Do I wish there was a more dynamic Democrat? Yes.”)
You can watch the full hour-plus debate above, which was filmed in Washington DC just over a week ago.

Always encouraging to see opposing views can be articulated respectfully. Kudos to Triggernometry & Mehdi for the endeavour.
The youtube’s comment section however, just proves that some people will refuse to listen & prefer continue living in a bubble.
Another Mehdi beat down! If you want the proof, look no further than the comments, the vast majority of which use Mehdi's religion or the fact that he once worked with Al-Jazeera to attack him rather than engage with his points. Excellent work as always, Mehdi!
