Biden PANICS Over Israel's Genocide



Owen Jones 

In this monologue, Owen Jones calls out US president Biden out for the Genocidal Maniac that he is over his support of Israel’s Ethnic Cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza. The panicking he refers is the Democrats losing their base in the November presidential elections. The saying of the lesser of two evils has a new meaning with Genocide Joe Biden and openly fascist Donald Trump.

I support Owen Jones work on Patreon, if you can afford it, please do the same, at least share this post.

Propaganda, Protest, And Politics | Mehdi Hasan | TMR


                                      

'Mehdi joins Sam and Emma, and they discuss how the propaganda in support of Israel appearing on news and social media is the greatest since the entire media machine threw itself behind the Iraq War in the early 2000’s. They discuss President Biden’s reactions to the campus protests, the weaponization of the word “democracy”, the baffling decision by Senate Majority Leader Schumer to reportedly partner with Speaker Johnson to invite Netanyahu to address Congress, and also check out Sen. Bernie Sanders explaining why Israel may end up being President Biden’s own version of Vietnam.

Sam and Emma speak with Mehdi Hasan, founder, CEO, and editor-in-chief of the new media company Zeteo, to discuss the biggest stories of the week and his new media venture.'

This interview is worth watching to get your head around the Pro-Israel Propaganda that has been used to justify their Genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, that we’ve endured over the last six months. Also, its impact on the US Election in November and Biden’s attack on the student protests.

Is Biden the ‘White Moderate’ that MLK Martin Luther King Warned Us About? | Mehdi Hasan and Owen Jones

                                                                          Mehdi Hasan and Owen Jones

 Owen and Mehdi discuss the ongoing misrepresentation of college protests in the mainstream media, the debate over genocide in Gaza, and the London mayoral elections. They discuss how college and antiwar protests have long been demonized to undermine public support for them, and how the term "genocide" is deliberately and conveniently mis-defined by supporters of Israel.

Plus, Mehdi takes us back in time to read Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 's letter from a Birmingham jail about the “white moderate,” and reflects on its relevance to modern-day politicians, particularly in light of recent comments made by President Joe Biden. Owen criticizes Biden's approach on all this, accusing him of fetishizing past struggles while vilifying current protests.

They also touch on the London mayoral elections and the challenges faced by Sadiq Khan, particularly in the context of his stance on issues like Gaza and Islamophobia.

‘Two Outspoken’ is a twice-monthly conversation between broadcaster, author, and Zeteo Editor-in-Chief Mehdi Hasan and political commentator, author, and activist Owen Jones. Mehdi and Owen will be discussing the news of the week, offering their analysis on the state of American and British politics, and even, from time to time, taking questions from Zeteo subscribers.

I'm a supporter of Zeteo and if you can afford to please become a supporter too or at share this post. Also, Mehdi's book Win Win Every Argument: The Art of Debating, Persuading, and Public Speaking is on my review list.

'Unshocked': Naomi Klein vs the “ideological shackles of Zionism"

 

Naomi Klein and Mehdi Hasan

In a conversation with Mehdi Hasan for her new contributor segment at Zeteo, called “Unshocked,” Jewish activist, academic, and author Naomi Klein calls for an “exodus from the ideological shackles of Zionism.” 

Naomi also reacts to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu comparing student protesters at Columbia University to Nazis, telling Mehdi that when it comes to Netanyahu, “there is nobody more adept at exploiting Jewish trauma, historical trauma, and turning it into a political weapon for his own advantage.” Mehdi also opens up to Naomi about why he decided to boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. “I can't call out what Israel is doing to Palestinian journalists with American-made bombs and then go to a fun, comedy-type dinner with the President of the United States — who's not just responsible for that, but is also not even acknowledging it,” Mehdi told Naomi.  In 2007, Naomi wrote “The Shock Doctrine,” a book that explains what happens when a national crisis throws citizens into a state of shock and how the powerful exploit those moments. Although it may be one her most popular books, Naomi tells Mehdi that she dreams of a day where the Shock Doctrine will no longer be relevant, where people can stay grounded even in times of chaos.  Look out for “Unshocked” with Naomi Klein every month, where Naomi and Mehdi will provide deeper analysis on current events, religion, politics, ideology, and more. "'Unshocked': Naomi Klein vs the “ideological shackles of Zionism"

Mehdi Hasan's 'Don't Say You Weren't Warned': What Trump's First 100 Horrific Days Would Look Like

 

There have been those who say the World can survive Trump returning to Whitehouse. Yes, Genocide Joe Biden is bad but compared to Trump’s open fascism, Biden is truly the lesser evil. For those who lectured me about the imperial nature of the Democrats, I know that, but the Republicans are now Trump’s MAGA cheer squad. Also, give Mehdi Hasan a go and watch his 'Don't Say You Weren't Warned': What Trump's First 100 Horrific Days Would Look Like
