Mehdi has far more patience during these debates than I ever would.

Honestly! That "dark people" comment should have been the end of it.

Thank you for being our voices! For being humanity’s voice, Mehdi!

The ease with which the likes of Jonathan and his ilk lie and gaslight almost every human on the planet is mind boggling. Zero accountability for the mountain of barbarism they’ve committed and continue to commit and have the audacity to play victim all in the one breath! They just spew lie after lie in the hope that at least one sticks!

I guess the silver lining in all this is that the world is slowly waking up to their BS finally.

Free Palestine and Free Lebanon 🙏🏼🙏🏼

It killed me to hear it. But we are so lucky for Mehdi, Drop Site News, Al Jazeera... We need more independent thinkers.

Well done, Mehdi. 👏🏾 🇵🇸 🇱🇧 🕊️

Stein/Ware 2024 💚

I agree cheers on holding Israel accountable and kudos to Mehdi.. this genocide and corruption and atrocity is horrifying.. but Stein is endorsed by David Duke and aims to spoil the election so Trump wins Michigan and all. I voted for Nader in 2003 and was possibly one of the handful of Floridians that allowed GW Bush to win and I still stand by that choice even though I hated the idiocy that Bush brought forth. But to align with a third party this election and risk Trump’s further atrocities seems confusing to me.

Please, are you for real? David Duke is a white trash/piece of shit so I don’t give a damn who he’s endorsing. But I certainly care about the never-ending Israeli genocide in Gaza that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have wholeheartedly supported for the past year. So, I will never vote to re-elect genocide enablers. It’s as simple and as clear as that. Don’t you have a conscience?

And so you would rather have a vote for Stein which would be a vote for Trump. Makes no sense and as a queer woman I am 100% voting for Kamala and my conscience. She is VP so not really in a place in current admin to have any say in foreign (or other) policy and it is Trump and Russian misinformation to say she does. I won’t go down the rabbit hole arguing but just thought I might plead to those feeling like Stein is their “best option” to know even people like David Duke are behind what a vote for her means… it means a vote for Trump and his racist, sexist, trans and homophobic regime… which includes blind support to Israel and the Christofascist PACs they are tied to here.

We minorities understand very well the kind of threat Trump poses but we cannot vote using the lesser of 2 evils argument because Biden/Harris are partners in Genocide the highest crime against humanity while Trump might continue it. Kamala Harris has promised not to deviate from Biden’s policy. On a positive note, one approach could be to make a pact with your conservative friend or uncle. You vote Green & they vote Liberatarian. That way both parties get the message that majority of Americans want an end to this disastrous policy and net effect is that Trump does not win.

But I actually support Harris and I think she will do right by Palestine much more than any other option. It is insanely urgent and horrifically sad it isn’t happening immediately but again I have been getting the message she is going to be better than Biden and not just continuing his policies. She wouldn’t even meet Israel’s leader and was called out for snubbing him which I took as she isn’t cosigning the current admin/Biden policy of buying his bs and sending him everything he requests. I don’t like current trends of certain Dems backing down on trans support and I felt she gave a decently solid stance showing trans support in her Fox interview without getting pulled into sound bites they would use against her but I wish she could have been stronger there, too. And I support all of her policies except maybe fracking now being on the table… It is very hard to have any candidate or party hit every exact need. Eslecially in dealing with such inept journalism looking for anything to make it that they are “both evil.” And yes I know you would say by not focusing on something as crucial as Genocide is unforgivable but it is such a complex moment in our democracy with lies and distrust running rampant. It would be so easy for her to get slammed as an Anti-semite by making her support of Palestine a key issue while trying to appeal to moderate voters in such a close and critical race. And I am sure Putin is amplifying anything he can to take votes from Harris so his fanboys Trump snd Vance can win.

And honestly I am not a fan of Stein and could never vote for her. I really knew little about Harris but everything she is showing me indicates that she has integrity and is led by her values so how could she not do right by Palestine when she has the power?

And if I had any Trump voter willing to vote Libertarian I would be shocked anyhow. They are so dug in and willing to overlook a million despicable and evil things about Trump. I know the genocide and instability of the Middle East should be everyone’s top priority but I think the very real threat of another Trump presidency and the fascism and dictatorship it could turn into would usher in even more horror for women and LGBTQ and immigrants (even naturalized ones) here ON TOP of his America First bs that would certainly not help the situation in Gaza and also possibly start us on a path of authoritarianism that would end the freedom of even our debate of this or having any votes counted in the future. But I sympathize with where you are coming from and feeling like you and this issue is being ignored hurts and makes the soul of our democracy questionable.. I just would rather vote to ensure we have a democracy at all and then push Harris to have the balls to do what these others are not.

I hope and pray you are right about Harris on this issue but given that she “felt honored” for getting endorsed by Dick Cheney another politician responsible for an illegal war & occupation of Iraq, not to mention the killing of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, I am not optimistic. If she were a person of conscience she would have rejected it. I cannot understand how liberals are so quick to forgive & forget the sins of American leaders against brown people especially Muslims $ Arabs. That’s something they have to ponder and come to terms with.

Dr. Stein already rejected his endorsement. One may disagree with her politics but Dr. Stein is not the one who is courting racists. Kamala Harris meanwhile is buddies with Cheney who is not known for being inclusive to put it mildly.

I usually stay away from Piers Morgan’s show because he is one of those sick ppl profiting from this genocide. However, I watched it for you. Thank you for bringing facts, not letting war criminal and former spokesperson intimidate you with spurious claims about anti-semitism. Every single one of these people need to be held accountable for their complicity in genocide.

Kamala Harris just said on Fox News that her commitment to Israel’s defense is “unwavering.” And she said again that Iran is the biggest threat to the United States. Bottomline: She’s a Zionist necon nitwit.

Every time the DNC calls my house, I tell them, "I will never vote for that genocidal hyena." I did get an elderly guy on the phone the other day. I told him I could never support genocide or a candidate that stands for it.

I'm in rural NC. He was very upset. I never rose my voice. And I wasn't mean. I think he understood.

I am only hoping someone, anyone listens to a candidate against genocide.

Yet - she is the only person standing between Donald Trump and his supporters on one hand and American democracy on the other. Kamala has to appeal to a wide swath of American voters to win - an uneasy coalition that has come together, agreeing to disagree in the name of the greater good. Liz Chaney and Kamala Harris have both said there are many ways they deeply disagree with each other but they have also agreed to put what divides them aside for the moment and unite against their mutual enemy - authoritarianism that is battering at the weakening gates America?

What America needs now is people with the maturity and humility to compromise. It is the only way to salvage the America you know and love and grew up with. On the morning of November 6 when you look at yourself in the mirror, and Trump has won because 10,000 people in your swing state did not vote for Harris/Walz including yourself, what will you say to yourself? What will you say to your children when they are old enough to understand the catastrophe of the 2024 election and ask you "What did you do in 2024?" Will your principles be enough to sustain you in the rubble that is all that is left of the American dream?

Expand full comment

I need to add - if Trump wins, the total genocide of the Palestinian people is a foregone conclusion. You know Trump will never lift a finger to help them or speak a word in their defence. America is the last bulwark against the rising tide of authoritarianism that is quickly enveloping the globe. And it's so much more than that. The billionaire capitalists will have no country left that can stop them in their greedy destruction of earth's environment.

What *will* you say afterward, if Trump wins? Will you be proud that you refused compromise when it results in an America without human rights and no Constitution protections that has shut the gates and renounced all responsibility everything outside the borders? Do you care more for your principles than you care about keeping an imperfect democracy? You don't know what Kamala Harris will do. She can't simply say out loud what she wants to do. You don't get elected without compromising but you hope people will understand your compromise in the moment so that you can get in the driver's seat and have the chance to make real change. If Trump wins, there is absolutely no hope for Palestinians. At least with Harris there is still the hope of bringing the killing to an end and coming up with a way to restore peace and security in Gaza and the West Bank... and in Israel - maybe even the entire region. But stopping the massacre has to be the beginning of change. You have a chance to help make that happen but not by voting forJill Stein.

You've not fully lifted the veil of illusion if this is your response

Does your absurd answer help you sleep at night, because the bottomline is you’re a genocide apologist? And I don’t have any problem looking at myself in the mirror because I have a clear conscience and I know right from wrong. Evil is evil — you may try to rationalize it but you’re only fooling yourself. So, go out and campaign vigorously for your warmonger women idols Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney because it’s so obvious you’re a hypocrite and a closet neocon.

It's no good arguing with these people. They think they can do nothing wrong. I've seen this colonel before, he lies as easily as he breathes. And I like the way he accuses others of being "dark people" of course the Israelis believe they are the children of light! They have that arse- backwards. You know what they say, every accusation is a confession. Whenever I listen to Israeli (and some American) spokespeople I need an extra blood pressure pill. These Ashke-Nazis are the most belligerent and irritating. They have lost positive public opinion on the world stage now so they are desperate.

Which guest would you allow into your home? Mehdi...thanks for making IDF, Zionist hypocrites look like total fools.

When Mehdi asked Conricus whether he himself had ever committed any of the war crimes which the IDF is committing regularly, I noticed that Cornicus never answered, even though asked repeatedly. He pivoted to his talking points -- his lies -- adroitly, having had lots of practice defending the indefensible, and avoiding answering questions.

Good job, Mr Hasan. Thank you.

The ability not to be struck dumb, by the shameless inhumanity of zionists, is a talent in its own right. Or maybe it's a skill, rather than a talent. Either way: If it's a talent, I just don't have it, and if it's a skill, I have yet to figure it out. That totally unrepentant, complete lack of humanity, knocks me back, for a beat or two, every time. There's always that why-are-you-not-human moment that I need to find a way to get past, before I find my voice again. I think they count on that.

Phenomenal job Mehdi! It's hard to stay calm when confronted with so many blatant lies from Jonathan. But you kept bringing accurate facts, real life testimonies from displaced Palestinians. It almost feels like all these horrific stories goes into deaf ears...You know you are on the right side of history when you support human rights. Keep up the great work Mehdi and Team Zeteo!
