Watch Zeteo's editor-in-chief respond for the first time to the violent and racist remark directed against him, and explain why he walked out of a live TV debate for the first time in his life.
I too am so tired of this. At what point do people STOP allowing this talk happen. I was so glad to see your push back and giving Black women credit too. We are all the better for your brilliance and courage. I am a subscriber and wish you well.
anyone who supports the rights of the Palestinian people and the historical injustice perpetrated on them is demonized. It’s disgusting and racist. Thank you for speaking up and pushing back against all the lies.
Terrible to see- heart crushing indeed. Thankfully this ugly speech was shut down immediatwly.
This is also the moment when my husband and I realized that we both separately follow and listen to you and are so thankful for your voice and your very existence. You are an erudite voice of kindness and justice in this very strange and cruel world.
I would like to point out, controversially, that un-spoken racism and bigotry is arguably more dangerous.
I saw a clip from Bernie Sanders arguing your point of voting Kamala. Except everything he said the democrats can do after she is elected, is something that they should be doing now. What I heard, "we have the presidency now, but believe us when I say that we will do something when we have the presidency (next term)". For God's sake show me something you would do, other than express frustration!
Did I make any sense or I am just rambling? Feeling more and more like Bassem I am afraid.
Bernie was making a case for Kamala. I guess she could not and would not make the same case. She had no time, no intent or courage. So we can expect nothing.
Great job Mehdi for keeping the fight up. We are all with you, supporting you in this difficult battle and raising the voice for the voiceless.. it was so sadistic of that guy and great response from your side.. keep it up
I served in the ranks of the USAF and worked as a DOD contractor for years and I lost count how many times I was called a terrorist because I am brown and a muslim. When I challenged the bigots, they replied that they were joking. Unfortunately, bigotry, discrimination & racism are alive and well in this country including in the military and the security agencies. Mehdi, I understand your frustration. We should continue to fight and speak up against this form of racial verbal terrorism.

(Sometimes one "like" heart doesn't seem like enough.)
Your comment made me tear up Lisa. What a big heart you must have!
Beautiful and thoughtful rebuttal. We need more people like you Mehdi. Keep up the good work. Proud to be a supporter of Zeteo
Thank you Mehdi. Keep on fighting the good fight. So many of us are behind you, and fighting with you.
We will NEVER give up.
Thanks Robin! Very much appreciated, best wishes
Really and truly, I hope Mehdi's okay. That whole attack and the guy doubling down after he said it - even calling it a joke - was vile.
It's genuinely stomach-turning how few people have acknowledged the fact that that was a TERRORIST THREAT. Even when it was THAT explicit.

That was astonishing. Sadly not surprising at this point, but still unbelievable.

Well spoken Mehdi. It was vile and you were so composed. We all have to fight against this.
Heartfelt @Mehdi! Thank you for your courage.

I almost give up. But this and people like you keep me from giving up.
I am so sorry you encounter people like this. Thank you so much for doing the debating with frighting people most of us are trying to stay away from.

Freedom of Speech but really people are so rude these days!
Terrorist threats go well beyond "rudeness."
They do---this is the kind of behavior that Israel exemplifies for the world--terrorism! Israel are terrorists!
Exactly right!
ThanK You ! Mehdi ..I'm sorry that happened ..
