Mehdi Hasan on Genocide in Gaza, the Silencing of Palestinian Voices in U.S. Media & Trump's Fascism
Support our work: www.democracynow.org/donate?c...
Acclaimed journalist Mehdi Hasan joins us to discuss U.S. media coverage of the Israeli war on Gaza and how the war is a genocide being abetted by the United States. Hasan says U.S. media is overwhelmingly pro-Israel and fails to convey the truth to audiences. "Palestinian voices not being on American television or in American print is one of the biggest problems when it comes to our coverage of this conflict," he says. Hasan has just launched a new media company, Zeteo, which he started after the end of his weekly news program on MSNBC and Peacock earlier this year. The cable network announced it was canceling his show in November. The move drew considerable outrage, with critics slamming MSNBC for effectively silencing one of the most prominent Muslim voices in U.S. media.
Hasan also warns U.S. media coverage of the 2024 election is largely unable to capture the threat to democracy posed by Donald Trump and the modern Republican Party. “We need to speak very clearly about what that fascist threat is,” says Hasan, who warns media outlets cannot “normalize his extremism and racism and bigotry,” because the right to free press itself could be under threat if he regains power. “One of our two major parties has been fully radicalized and is now in bed with white supremacists. … Let’s be plain about that.”

Msnbc don't want honest journalists. None of the west do
I am 75 years old and I know what's going on in Gaza right now. I am not Jewish nor am I Muslim but that has nothing to do with my empathy for others who are suffering. I watch news/podcasts and reports from Gaza by brave reporters who live there, on You Tube and a great variety so that I can determine what is truly happening. I was not aware of the history nor did I even understand what "occupied" meant but I got some books and educated myself about the history of the Palestinians and from what I learned it seems like they have been pushed around and bullied since the early 1900's. I am ashamed of my country...the U.S. and Biden who I voted for. I pray that some country has the guts to come in and help the Palestinians but they are outnumbered by the strength and military might of the powers that be....I don't blame them but my hats off to the Houthi's...they are courageous! They have the guts to proclaim the horrific actions of Israel and take action! I wish more people had that kind of courage.

It may be the “truth” but it’s premised on a false narrative. Yes, innocent people are dying, buts it’s because, as usual, hamas is using civilians as human shields and making them unnecessary targets. Gaza was given weeks to get out of combat zones. I can’t have pity.

As a young British child I grew up in Apartheid South Africa and was lucky enough to see it end.

If only the world had learned the lessons too. We can’t put back the bodies ripped apart by war nor breath life back into all those bodies of innocent people killed by bombs and bullets.

The US fears Israel selling more of its military secrets and hardware schematics to China. Israel has the US in a very tight box. Decades of support from the US for Israel is going to blow up in the US's face sooner or later. This isn't a Biden issue, this is a long term failure of the US military establishment. If the US does anything to stop Israel than China gets all the secrets on the F-35 (along with Russia).

Bibi is symptomatic of the culture he lives within. That is WELL documented. See recent polls in Israel on how Israelis feel about the IDF's treatment of Gazans since October 7th, the vast majority think it has been perfectly okay, and about a third think the IDF should be even more savage. THAT is the culture in Israel, and it has been like that for a long time. Israel is a very conservative country, very militarist. And they feel utterly entitled to have dominion over Palestinians while covering little to nothing of the costs of keeping Palestinians (in Gaza and in the West Bank) under their collective boot. Starving them , expropriating them , not paying for their food, education, or health care .. they externalize those costs to the U.N.
Why is it called the Warren peace report? What's the back story on that??
Thank you for the Light
Excellent segment. Thank you Nermeen, Amy and Mehdi.
Mehdi is great on Democracy Now. Truth will bring justice.
You're a living Legend!!! Protect this guy.. I will protect this guy
Thank you for this conversation.
I am glad that nowadays anyone who is looking for true journalism can just turns into KZread and all decent journalists are there on line for all to watch and listen. Great era indeed.

Yeah what a time to be alive ☝now use that privilege to do a quick internet search for the easily available videos of medhi Hassan proudly filming his speaking tour of UK mosques where he explained to the audience that "they( non Muslims) should be considered as animals lower than cattle and dogs with no moral perversion committed against them to be a sin to Islam" . ...the age of information is here for anyone with an internet connection and the courage to learn

we are also facing restrictions for youtube when we say something about GAZA or Palestine.

I had some children of Holocaust survivors argue with me that the Israeli government was right… It took me translating speeches from the Israeli government prior to October the 7th into German and putting them next to speeches from 1930’s Europe for them to understand what they were looking at and supporting. Several of them broke down into tears when I showed them the speeches and the FOOTAGE that came with it and then put it next to current recent Israeli speeches and the footage that came with it. It took one of them seeing actual footage of what happened to relatives of them after this sort of speeches was made to understand what they had been lauding as ‘needed’ and perfectly normal.

Such a dumb comment. Israel has done nothing comparable to Hamas...ever. It does not indiscriminately shell or rocket Gaza. It does not use the Israeli population as human shields as Hamas does with its pop. It does not engage in October 7 mass murder, systematic and indiscriminate. It does not take hostages. It does not indoctrinate its children that the Arabs/Muslims are akin to Apes and Pigs and reward those who murder via suicide bombings etc...Such ignorance in your posting. Also, there is no such thing as a Palestinian and never has been. Learn some history.

That depends if you are a Jew or not? As it is THEY who are fighting for their lands, The Levant was never an Arab land neither has that land ever been called Palestine, therefore the continuous use of that lie word "occupied" is just not true. You can't occupy your own Jewish land if you have already lived in it now, and for millennia.

He is an Islamic sympathiser and would do anything to defend criminals from his community?...Has he condemned the Hamas attack on Oct 7?...Jus coz he uses a flowery language, doesn't mean he is right...He doesn't talk about the poor treatment of minorities in Islamic countries ...His narratives are one sided
US media will go only so far in "reporting the news." And that's the problem. We need a fully funded, fully independent media in our country. We need the return of the fairness doctrine. We need to get private profit out of the news business. The movie NETWORK predicted what we have today as "news."
