"Netanyahu Wants the U.S. to fight Israel’s War Against Iran": Rula Jebreal Joins Zeteo ’s Town Hall
On early Friday morning, Israel launched a strike against Iran, following through on their vow to retaliate after Iran’s strike on Israel last weekend. The growing tensions have stoked fears of a potential World War III, as Israel’s war against Gaza continues to receive unconditional support from the U.S.
In order to respond to this breaking news, Zeteo hosted an online town hall with our latest contributor, foreign policy analyst Rula Jebreal, who answered questions not only from founder and CEO Mehdi Hasan, but also from paid subscribers.
In the call, Jebreal discussed how the violence in the Middle East is already spilling into the U.S., how other Arab nations could react, and what Western citizens can do to hold their governments accountable.

As an Italian who has been actively pro-Palestine for over 20 years, let me just say that Rula Jebreal and Francesca Albanese, as fellow Italian women, are making me proud, and this is coming from someone who normally hasn't got a patriotic bone in her body! But considering how utterly shameless and embarrassing our ruling/political class have been in these past decades, even I strive to find something to make me believe in my country again! Its institutions rather than its people - because the former are grovelling to Israel without a shred of dignity. Keep it up, Rula, along with Francesca and Alessandro Di Battista - the unflinching voices of reason when it comes to Palestine.

@@Gezira I don't think Israeli Arabs have less rights. And although Jews had German citizenship, Hitler was ultimately going to kill them all which cannot be said about and Israel and Israeli Arabs.

I am just against the loose use of word genocide.

Different types of REAL antisemitism: True antisemitism: hate of all Jewish people, specifically for their faith, culture, and/or ethnicity. Antisemitism by proxy: hate of Israel’s actions, unfairly extrapolated to all Jewish people. *This is an important one because, while the antisemitic sentiment is real, it does not come from an antisemitic place; but rather from a place of outrage against Israel’s actions. If Israel were to stop their human rights violations, this goes away. What antisemitism ISN’T: protests and criticism of Israel for their egregious crimes against humanity.

I personally do not put all the jews or jews born elsewhere into the same pot ! Where is the zionist is another story all together ! My grand grand father was 8years old, romanian born orthodox white, and he saw his father and others villagers being killed by the nazis, that were looking for the jews. Just like the palestinians they had no choice, no language knowledge, no defence system against a much better equipped army, same like the palestinians ! They had no where else to go - same like the palestinians ! I do not believe that the jews people born in Europe were at fault only, that hey had the misfortune to be born there, they just like the palestinians today, did not chose their birth place ! Therefore the israelians people and the israel state have not right what so ever to conduct any, but any of this atrocities towards the palestinians people ! Another point I want to make : is that over the past history in Europe, the religion was used to control the masses of people, just like the politic control today. But the Catholic Inquisition has played a terrifying game of oppression towards the protestants, jews, othodox and arabs/muslims or anyone else , so I would not go that far to condemn the jews for all the discrimination or hate they suffered !
