If the government tried confiscating my house and I retaliated and the news framed it as an even fight I’d be pretty pissed
Well if it was actually your house. In this case the houses legally belong to Israelis and the people living in them refuse to pay rent as they are legally required to do. So, if you were a renter and didn´t pay rent guess what--- you would find yourself in the street and that is where you deserve to be. So, get the facts straight so you won´t seem to be so ignorant when you vomit out someone else´s propaganda.
Yessir and we are all antisemitic because we have a problem with Israel committing the worst human violations for decades!! Even the Jewish people who condemn Israel apparently are antisemitic not sure how that works
@@SamMadrid1 and from where did you read that? Those were Palestinian land ten years ago. They don’t have to pay rent for land that belonged to them many years back. Palestine have been shrinking for years because two faced Israel keeps expanding and building illegal settlements while crying about oslo accords.
Maybe you should be mindful about the propaganda you spew. It wasn’t that kong ago you people were expelled to the ghettos in Germany because you couldn’t pay “rent” or did you already forget about that?
@@aapp953 hahaha. Sheikh jarrah houses were built by unrwa for the Palestinians evicted by the zionist state from Israel in east Jerusalem which then was under Jordanian mandate and was confirmed under international law to be the future capital of Palestine under the 2 state solution. Get your facts right.

@sneksnekitsasnek I'm not the only one!
They came in as tenants,and soon became the landlords. They of all people should know better or have they forgotten?
They didnt heal! So they inflict that same pain on others!
The Palestinians need to vacate or at least pay the rent. Looks like forced eviction is the only possible option.
Can we just send them back to Poland 🤨
@@vikramrazdan5680 In that case we Americans need to give the land or at least start paying rent to the Native Americans. Instead we have put them in reservations.
@@mrSamisanidiot - You are making a false equivalence; that of a Native American (who was removed by force and land Title taken by Europeans) as compared to an Israeli Jew (who bought the land title in Sheikh Jarrah in 1875). Your equivalence only hold good for all displaced Arab Jews, but where no Jew is asking for rent from the occupiers (Arab Muslims).
It’s apartheid in capital letters. I visited the region extensively in the summer of 1987 and was appalled at the Palestinians’ living conditions, compared to that of the Jewish areas. What I witnessed first hand definitely changed my mind about the state of Israel.
APARTHEID at it’s ugliest worst....I am a South African
Thankyou very much Mehdi Hassan for the in depth coverage. Had it not been for this channel, I wouldn't have a clue what is really going on in Jerusalem.The severity of the oppression has just being exposed.
I agree just stop showing BBC language as hamas hamas hamas🤔end the occupation🇵🇸

Like the ones by ILAN PAPPE (an Israeli historian), "The biggest prison on earth", "The ethnic cleaning of Palestine"..

In Israel, Israeli Arabs have the same rights as Israeli Jews. They study in the same school system and are treated as equals to all other Israelis in the same hospitals. Israeli Arabs vote, are elected to the Knesset, and have become Supreme Court justices. Israeli Knesset (parliament) have 14 Arab MKs from six different parties, and the presence in the government coalition of Ra’am, a Muslim Arab party, making its leader Mansour Abbas one of the most influential politicians in Israel. Israel within the 1967 Green Line is a society where the Arab minority are citizens with voting rights, who play a full role in society and use the same universities, hospitals, parks, beaches and shops as their Jewish counterparts. Israeli Arabs enjoy the same privilege as other Israelis to study for academic degrees at Israeli universities of their choice. Palestinians who live in east Jerusalem also enjoy this privilege, despite not being Israeli citizens. Buses and trains are open to all; they do not have signs saying “Jews only” or “Arabs only” to separate commuters, as was the case in South Africa. There are over 2000000 Palestinians living in Israel with Israeli citizenship. They hold positions in parliament, in hospitals, schools, police, industry, and have a quality of life that they would never have in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon or Egypt...However, no Jew can walk down the streets of Ramallah, Jenin, Jericho, Nablus, or Hebron without being stabbed in less than 5 minutes.
Thank you MEHDI!, YOU ARE HUMAN AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👍🏼
You are the only one who have the guts to talk about it very clearly. Good job Mehdi
He is not the only one. Abby Martin is also spreading the truth.
Thanks for reporting on the wider human rights context & background ❤
He didn't. He didn't report on the 2000 rockets fired indiscriminately at Israeli civilians. 200 fell short and killed Palestinians. Mehdi did nothing but virtue signal and show his ass.

@Love Israel liars will lie till they die
@Love Israel Come on, is throwing stones as dangerous, and can it harm as many people as the arsenal you have unleashed on people, who have stones and some measly rockets. How many have the Palestinians killed, and how many have you?
Yes, we know... you are better at killing. If you think Palestinians are bad, then how are you a better human being?
@Love Israel You wanna know what's more disrespectful. FULLY ARMED soldiers shooting rubber bullets and tear gas at innocent worshipers.
All Palestinian people have the right to defend their home their lives and their livelihood. And they will. With or without the help of the outside world.
they do. This is specifically stated in the Geneva Conventions. people living under occupation have the right to fight back.
Sure they have the right, but then bear like a man

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" - Edmund Burke
I stand for Palestinian Rights. i disagree with Hamas shooting rockets as do most of the Palestinian citizens. its time to let Palestinian live in peace.
it's wouldn't come until Palestine is given full right like they had before 1948. peace is not an option when you are in constant worry about losing your homes your livelihood n your family members
Apartheid is permanent oppression and torture. Peace and apartheid don't go together. When Hamas acts once in while, do note the oppressor tortures and abuses the oppressed on daily basis. It's like slavery. I'm South Africa. Even we ended up taking up arms because we were being butchered daily
those rockets are the size of a pencil. In Canada we call those bottle rockets and children shoot them off on the beach. The more correct term for the "rockets" coming out of Palestine is fireworks.
People living under occupation have the right to fight back, even if there is almost no chance they will succeed.
Jason, Respectfully you don’t know anything about me and my “origins”. You are misconstruing my comment and if that’s what floats your boat then so be it.
I have many, many friends who are Palestian’s of all ages and they have told me that they would be better off without Hamas and without the PLO however they realize they need some type of leadership. My ultimate advice to my young adult friends from Gaza is that it is up to them to lead their nation to freedom and equal rights by getting involved in the political process. I know it’s easier said than done but it’s still worth a shot.
And I’m not gonna go any further with my reply to you but rest assured that as a political science major in college I’m very aware of Palestine and the struggles every generation has experienced since the Nakba of 1948. Anyways just don’t ever start a note to me by telling me “you have no right” cuz actually I do have that very right. And the only one who should be humiliated is you because you are really barking up the wrong tree when you come at me with accusations of being ignorant to the plight of the Palestinian people. And I don’t consider the Hamas rockets to be any kind of real defense against the occupiers multi ton bombs or the white phosphorus Israel has experimented with on the citizens of Palestine or the 20 hours a day that the Gazans are left in the dark or the rationing of disgusting water that is not even fit for wild animals to drink or the use of skunk water on the peaceful protests of Palestian’s facing evictions from their West Bank homes so that the dregs of society can come settle a land that was settled years ago by the Indigenous Semitic Palestians. No I just don’t see the Hamas cherry bombs being equated to the occupiers bombs.
If I have “no right” then either do you!
Well said, Mr. Hasan: there can be no "clash" between the one who has more power and the one who has less. :)
Maybe this means something in Arabic. Not in English, it doesn't.

@@ashishprabhat1 you feel good with your corrupt BJP government?!... what a shame 😷
@@ashishprabhat1 Yes, that is the point! There were not people taking over their houses while they were still living there. They had left to settle somewhere else in India. The ill feelings of the majority population, towards Hindu Kashmiris came after decades of oppression by your Indian government, who the Hindu Kashmiris were in support of. You shouldn’t take out the part that suits your narrative, and forget the rest.
@@Thefloristgang4pf Don't blabber unnecessary lies u didn't know anything. Forget about BJP, it is Congress ruled over nation more than 60 years. How much do u know about congress it is a pro-muslim party.
Up to 1987 entire kashmir is free from violence, but due to rigging of elections by local govt of farook Abdullah, it gave Islamists a chance to instigate protests & violence, from 1989-1991 our central govt is incompetent didn't handle law & order properly. Which given Pakistan a chance increased support of radical Islamists jihad militancy in kashmir, terrorists attacked non-muslims in order to create Islamic ideology, radicalization caused ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri pandits it had all happened when an Kashmiri Muslim(syed mufti Mohammed) is our home minister 1989-1991.
It is Pakistan which got international bad image by supporting Islamic militancy in kashmir.
Didn't vajpayee & man mohan singh tried for peaceful solutions in kashmir, but ur establishment betrayed us with kargil & Mumbai attacks.
And we don't want any lectures from u guys ur establishment as oppressed balochs, ur military killed 2 million hindu bengali's & made 8 million bengali's as refugees in our nation. U people conducted air strikes in FATA , even allowed Americans to conduct Drone attacks in our own territory to kill sheltered terrorists, even many innocents have been killed in it.

so so good to hear Mehdi talk about this. Truth told for once.
Tlaib has received the endorsement of Foreign Policy for America, a political action committee that backs sanctions on Russia, the US "commitment to NATO" and other policies favored by Democratic elites. Foreign Policy for America calls for arms sales to Saudi Arabia to be conditional "on steps to prevent civilian casualties and alleviate humanitarian suffering in Yemen." That is a laudable view, but the group makes no similar call regarding Israel--the biggest recipient of US military aid.
NELSON MANDELA said it so many time. Israël is apartheid state

You're right, but NBC is being cynical here. They're using Medhi's stellar reputation to build up their Peacock digital platform, only to fire him soon after. Enjoy this while it lasts because it won't last long. Mehdi is too objective for NBC. As long as his videos are getting less than 100k views, he's not a threat, but as soon as he starts having an impact, they'll get rid of him.

Did he say that Palestinians protestor ran to mosque after the violence?.... Why did Israeli force barged into the mosque
I don't get the reason why this evil soldiers will cross the Line of dignity and harassing people praying in the Holy mosque?..
What do we call this ?..
Thank you for stating what no one else will state.
Any sympathies for the Jewish nation is diminishing with this kind of ruthless behavior. Last day of Ramadan is a movable feast, but they cynically authorized a right wing march past the holiest mosque which they locked. Any other day would have had no impact'.
Did the old South African racist, apartheid deserve any sympathy?
We need to be very careful. What is the "Jewish nation". Israel is one thing. The government is something else. Jewish people are yet another thing. Some support the government. Many do not. It is so important to be precise in our language. We criticize the occupation. The settler-collonial system. The government. The military. The cultural and media operatives who provide political and social cover for what is being done. The grievance is not with anyone who simply happens to be Jewish.
Very very true.
Just wow. This is horrific and disgusting. Forced evictions.
My heart goes out to the oppressed Palestine’s.
I grew up in the north side of Chicago and began high school at Sullivan High in 1951. Sullivan had a 93% Jewish population and the Jewish kids wouldn't have anything to do with us at all. As Gentiles, they wouldn't talk with us or smile at us in class or in the hallways. After two years, I couldn't stand it any longer. A friend of mine, whose parents were born in Greece, learned there was a teacher at Amundsen High who taught Greek language classes. My friend wrote a letter and had her mother sign it so she could transfer to Amundsen. I scouted out the Amundsen neighborhood and found a vacant lot, and then faked information saying that we had moved there, so I could transfer to the school and enroll in the Greek classes taught by Mr. Lamprinedes. Amundsen was much farther away, so we had to take the elevated train from Howard Street to Berwyn and then transfer to a bus that went to Damen Avenue. The next two years were great! I did get caught by the school for faking the address, but I begged and pleaded with them to allow me to stay, and the officials at Amundsen agreed that I could continue through graduation in 1955. Years later, the Jewish families began purchasing homes in the Chicago suburbs such as Skokie or Highland Park.
Ironic. Now they're all dual citizens with no loyalty to USA
Why are people afraid to do the history research
Not afraid, just lazy.
How far back are we supposed to go.?
Thank you Medhi! It is ridiculous to think that because the Jews need a State, since 1948 the eviction of Palestians is no ANSWER.
Its what the Nazis did
they recreated the Warsaw ghetto. all of this has been deliberate. But their settlement plan was based on how the U.S. took land from Native Americans.

Person born in the 70's here. It's simply amazing we have MSNBC as a legitimate leftward media channel. Yes yes, I see the same flaws you do. But this is progress, as is the fact that Hasan now has his own show. The RUclips left that dunks on MSNBC is part of our new media embarrassment of riches, and part internal sniping. Hasan's show seems to be calibrated to take some of the steam out of this anti-cable media critique. Regardless, all of if this is a promising sign that the left is finally clawing its way through the layers of shit that neoliberalism buried it under.
Even though I’m one of “those dreaded atheists,” I find myself agreeing with Mr. Hassan (a Muslim) way more often than not.

We, the U.S., need to cut ties with the entire region. We've already done too much damage and don't need to be involved with any more insanity.
I, and seven families were evicted in Israel by force, from our homes of 50 years, after an illegitimate court ruling.
We fought in the courts, social media, and mainstream media, and lost.
If I would retaliate, I would lose everything else.
The homes were built by the british, for their officers & engineers and abandoned in 1948. We moved in by 1967 and paid every relevant authority for whatever taxes they would accept.
In 2017, after the forced eviction,
We did not get any compensation, rather, we were sued by the state for millions in retroactive taxes & fines.
The homes that weren't demolished are vacant to this day and serve no purpose.
The Sheikh Jarach, as far as I know, might be a llegitimate ruling,
But the decision to go forward with this eviction is plain stupid.
The legitimacy of the eviction is irrelevant to those being evicted, and if my own community of 30 people emboldened each other to fight for our home, then, a community of hundreds would reatliate very strongly.
This government is the worst Israel ever had, with congressional right wingers that were banned by the courts in the past, when their rhetoric was more blatant and not supported by any major politicians.
Netanyahu divided this nation between left/right, keeps losing everyone accept his base and now is utterly dependent on a measly 2 congressional right wingers for power.
These new PM's are the ones who pushed for this idiotic move, and led the way by moving their law firm office into the neighborhood.
If the Sheikh Jarach ruling is truly illegitimate (the law serves an agenda, international law included, so there are always counter arguements to make) then it's a real case of apartheid.
In other cases, such as tragic Gaza & east Jerusalem (generally) there is no apartheid.
If you want to pin a negative word for any of these situations, do it.
Apartheid is not the only option you have, and it's far from the best match.
Superbly presented and wonderfully informative.

TRUE, TRUSTFUL TRUSTWORTHY CHANNEL. MEHDI KEEP IT UP.
The Jerusalem District Court on Tuesday ruled in favor of the state prosecution and against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on two significant evidentiary issues impacting his public corruption trial, while referring a third issue to the Supreme Court.
In one ruling, Judges Rivkah Friedman-Feldman, Moshe Bar Am and Oded Shaham ruled that Netanyahu’s defense lawyers could not receive an uncensored version of the transcript of an internal prosecution meeting regarding how the police would probe Case 4000, the Bezeq-Walla Affair.
Tell that to the news, coming out of the Daily Telegraph, who for one reason or another, can not see the truth. may be it is a case of daylight and night blindness as well.
Henrietta, its not that they can't see the truth. They KNOW THE TRUTH the same way we do. but they structure and aggregate the news in a way that gets them funding from the parties they are letting a good word out for
What truly is a shame here is the fact that there is no such thing as deities. These people are fighting and dying for nothing...

Two words people need to learn, "Occupier" and "occupied". Please learn these words in your respected languages. 😁
Thank you, Rashida. You are truly among the best and brightest that humanity has to offer. You lead with your empathy, and your moral and spiritual clarity shines through your words, and gives them real power. The American government, and Western democracies in general, have willingly, or in some cases unwillingly, forfeited the moral authority to be able to credibly urge other countries to stop stifling free speech and the free press, including protests, to respect the human rights that MUST be equally granted to all citizens of the Earth, and to create democratic systems of government in which all people have a say in what their governments do, and who represents them. And this is truly heartbreaking to say, but we have simply lost the plot. We as Americans have sat idly by while greedy and inhumane corporations and plutocrats have taken over our government, and likewise while neocons and neoliberals have lied us into war after war, bombing country after country, dropping drone strikes on innocent families, funding and supplying weapons to the most anti-democratic and brutal authoritarian regimes in the world like the Saudis, so they scratch our government's back while we stay silent or do propaganda _denying_ the genocides & war crimes they're commiting against innocent civilians, and not to mention, this is all happening while our own democracy is being hacked away at by racist white nationalists without retaliation by our duly elected Democratic-controlled federal government, while our leaders carry water to protect a system in which the upper chamber of our Congress is so _UTTERLY UNREPRESENTATIVE_ of the wants and needs of the people of our country, that a Senate split 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats means that the 50 Democrats are representing over 40 MILLION MORE Americans than the 50 Republicans.
So I'll repeat again that we simply have no moral authority, and no moral high ground, to be lecturing the rest of the world to stop doing the same things we're doing, and to stop breaking the international laws that we are breaking, or helping others to break. That's the most depressing thing of all in my opinion, and it needs to change. We need to get off our high horse and start LIVING UP TO THE IDEALS THAT WE SAY WE'RE FOR. Otherwise, there's no hope for us.
