Zionist Israel has been egging the US into a war with Iran for decades it seems.
My question is: "Who is in charge of US foreign policy"?
Apparently the Israeli government has more impact on US decisions that the citizens of our own country
Knowing
that the Military and Security industrial complexes will cosign, even lobby for this war.
Does matter whether the US government is lead by the corporate left or the corporate right; the results are the same.
IMHO
If the West and the US specifically would just mind their business and get its house in order, these regimes, pre-disposed to violence (kinetic and financial), different courses of action would be followed.
God Bless you Rula. If only the American politicians can appreciate what you are saying and not be subservient to the war mongering Netanyahu and his cohorts, our World and the Middle East region could be a safer place. An anti-Vietnam war like protest in America could sway the beholden politicians that they should NOT allow Israel to dictate American Middle East policy.
This was a very good interview and thanks for taking so many of our questions. At the end you said for us to vote but for whom? No we can't afford another Trump but Joe, a confessed Zionist, is allowing the lobbyists not the people to set the agenda. Scary. I mean this isn't new but I do think both men are equally dangerous.
Think about the day after the war ends. Biden (hopefully) will help to form a 2 state solution or at least helping Palestinians to rebuild. Trump will send Jared to build Gaza into luxury resort homes for Israelis. Jared has admitted this in a live interview.
I am not pro Trump, but I don’t know why you think Biden won’t do the same thing, he just vetoed in the UN, first step of a 2 state solution. I believe he will also build waterfront property over the corpses of Palestinians.
Sarah, you took the words right out of my mouth. He still supplying weapons to Israel. And another child was killed this week when we dropped aid in Gaza and it fell on him. You are right, he isn't going to do anything different than his self proclaimed Zionist ass is doing now. The reason we don't have a ceasefire is because of the US. Shameful.
I'm not defending Biden btw. This co-partnership of genocide of indigenous Palestinians has completely undone his legacy and this is what he will be remembered for. This will be his legacy. I hope everyone involved is held accountable at the Hague, including Biden officials.
They put the token black person there to raise their hand. They reason I say (hopefully) is not because I think Biden will do anything for Palestine personally. No, he's self admitted Zionist. But hopefully, if we elect as many squad members as possible, change may be possible. My rep us AOC and I value her voice pushing back every single day. We need to vote for about 20 more of her to push legislation for human rights. State elections are so important. Here's hoping anyway. 🙏 I never thought I'd be rooting for Iran so hard.
I, on the other hand, for the first time ever will not vote as I have come to see my vote is helping to legitimize this corrupt system. If Jill Stein or Mr. West is on the ballet, they will get my vote as those two have earned my respect.
We the citizens have most impact when we talk to politicians at the local level and not for the president. When candidates running for the House of Representatives and Senate are there asking for your vote ask them a straightforward question whether they will take money from the Israeli lobby? Ask them are committed to a foreign country more than a foreign country? Can they promise they will deliver more for The People more than overseas wars? Even if they don’t answer your questions they will know what’s important to their constituents. It will bring awareness to the rest for what ask?
Sy, people say that we should focus on politics on the local level but from my own experience, there is no difference. As I stated in another thread, I've been actively involved in politics in my own state, Delaware, Biden county for three decades. It's the same. These politicians want you to kiss their asses and they might help you. Most of the time they don't. It is the most frustrating thing ever. They get in office and then act like we work for them..Then comes election year and here they come. The US is an empire which means our focus is on foreign policy, what Stephen Walt from Harvard's Kennedy School calls liberal expansionism, at the expense of our domestic policy. Follow the money. Our infrastructure is crumbling while we are sending billions of dollars overseas. I'm not saying do not ask those questions. Do. But don't expect to get the truth. You may be able to research to see who their donors are especially if they are an incumbent.
Sy, I just read a letter I got from Senator Tom Carper in response to the call I placed to his office asking him to urge Biden to demand a cease fire so aid could get into Gaza. I got a three page letter all about condemning Hamas and nothing about a ceasefire or the aid . I'm a historian. Hamas didn't start the fire. That started even before WWII. Had the US dealt fairly with Arafat and the PLO, they wouldn't have Hamas to deal with. Plus, Netanyahu has been courting and funding Hamas for years on the premise that so long as Hamas maintains political power in Gaza, there cannot be a two state solution. In other words, Israel created the monster they now say they want to destroy.
Anyway, No surprise about Carper who is a blue dog., Republican in Dems clothing. They are why Obama had such a hard time getting anything done the first two years he was in office because the blue dogs opposed him. The Rethugs won the midterms and as they say, the rest is history.
This is a great interview but I would like to see more interviews with proponents of this war/genocide, if for nothing else is to expose them and get them on the records. Talking to the likeminded people exposes little.
Medhi just interviewed late PM of Israel a few days ago. Also every single Western news site gives the microphone to Zionists, honestly I’ve heard enough of their garbage.
I can relate not wanting to hear from the Zionist ever again but keep in mind that those "every single Western News" do not challenge the Zionist the way Mr. Hasan does, hence they get to say whatever lies they want. With Mehdi Hasan they won't have it that easy much the way the ex PM of Israel experience just a few days ago. This is why I would like to see more of those, so they get exposed.
I hate how it always says Israel “retaliates” even though they bombed Iran’s embassy first (killing 16). Iran bombed back (killing 0) and said, let that be the end of it! Now Israel, a genocidal country with a psychopathic IOF wants to force us into WW3. Enough already!
And "Hamas-led Gaza health ministry". "Hamas-led". Hamas runs the Gaza health ministry my ass. Straight up gaslighting. It is so disrespectful, devaluing and dehumanizing hundreds of thousands of health workers from every nation, every race, everyone religion who work together in Gaza for the oppressed population.
This discussion is packed with great information! I suggest that everyone listens to it. I'm going to listen again to catch up on things I surely missed.
Israel is the girlfriend that picks a fight and expects her boyfriend the US and UK to fight back for her👿👿👿
Right
👍👍
Headline should include not just Netanyahu, most of the Israeli lobby in US (who donated BIDEN 2024 campaign 156 million) wants the war with Iran.
Anyone surprised? Anyone?

Great team, my favourite analysts.

Did you missed the latest veto in the UN? Biden has never missed an opportunity to deny the Palestinian a Statehood.

Ughhh.... I hate typos. Where's the edit? Lol
Totally agree. I will be voting for one of the other choices who ever they are. Not, Biden, Trump or Kennedy. Or just writing in Admiral McRaven
I, on the other hand, for the first time ever will not vote as I have come to see my vote is helping to legitimize this corrupt system. If Jill Stein or Mr. West is on the ballet, they will get my vote as those two have earned my respect.

Good talk. Rula you are brilliant and ravishing.
Thank you Mehdi for your honesty and intelligence!
Excellent addition Mehdi, Rula Jebreal brings in-depth analysis of the area, great complementing Duo.
