“We need to talk about AIPAC” - Mehdi Hasan
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- In Mehdi Hasan's latest monologue, he unpacks how and why AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, one of the most powerful lobbying group in the US, is spending record amounts of money to topple - not for the first time - a pro-Palestinian Congressman.
Free the USA from AIPAC
instead launch your own Arab lobby
@@txt4r I think you are missing the point here that lobbying is not something to be proud of. Lobbying here means interfering in the US's policy and skewing the political process away from the public good towards the interests of lobbyists.
Been saying for years. Glad American Voters are taking it seriously like it should be. As well as all Western countries, All infested by Zionist
@@asmaasaber2946 NO u A(R) abs missing the point for 75 years - hence you are were you are and continuously enojoying the g (a) za treatment
Aipac spend money to not elect pro palestinians politinians ( Look up Bowman campaign)
Arabs lobby can COUNTER that and spend money on behalf of Bowman to defeat aipac
umm never mind some people are not bright
oh well

Just because you criticise ISIS doesn't mean you dislike Islam. In a same vein, being anti-Zionist does not automatically make one anti-Semitic.
sure, but ISIS are not muslims, they are a tool made by western countries to test future wars with Iran,Iraq,Syria and Lebanon. they wanted to test their strength.
Us Muslims are the first one hating and denouncing ISIS
No support to any enemy of humanity
Nor just because you criticise the present Israeli government and war in Gaza that you're anti-Zionist. It's really a world turned upside down. The constant attacks on dissent in Israel I find the most disturbing
Has ISIS ever attacked Israel? No, but they have attacked Muslims. Has Israel helped them? Yes, Has ISIS apologized to Israel? Yes. Therefore, as Muslims, we absolutely don't support ISIS. They do not represent us in any way. Or personally, as a Muslim myself, I can say that they don't speak for me, and I even doubt if they are true Muslims. And There is a belief that they are secretly orchestrated by the USA and isreal to create a negative perception of Muslims worldwide.
Has ISIS ever attacked Israel? No, they haven't. However, they have targeted Muslims. Has Israel supported them? Yes, they have. And has ISIS apologized to Israel? Yes, they have. As Muslims, we strongly denounce ISIS. They do not represent us in any way. Personally, speaking as a Muslim myself, I can confidently say that they don't speak for me, and I question their adherence to true Islamic values. There is a belief that they might be secretly set up by certain forces to create a negative perception of Muslims worldwide ie the big US Of A and the big Isisynoreal.
Hope AIPAC loses All 100 Million dollars and their cronies
why not create your own Muslim Lobby ???
instead of complaining about Aipac?

Mehdi not held back by corporate media is the best Mehdi. ❤
He was awful in corporate media. Guess he's trying to redeem himself. He still makes corporate Neolib comments, however, which makes me untrusting.
Try again. He works for a corporation called al Jazeera and their owners in Qatar.
@@jaialaiwarrior😂😂😂😂😂 long time ago when he was a pupy
@@jaialaiwarriorLOL I can see you haven’t followed his career. Maybe you should.
And godbless Al Jazeera.
@@sickregret that's ok, I'll leave you to hero-worship the career path of that liar.
And as for Qatari National Broadcasting, if you really think their operation and the ayatollah propaganda they spew is good for the middle east then run for office over there. Or king or caliph or whatever. 😆
Free America from Israel!
Get money out of politics. It's a choice.
@@charisma-hornum-fries There can never be democracy under capitalism. They are opposing ideologies.

Are really all American knows this please let me know me if there are any Americans.
@@Lurch685Okay poor guy 😂😂😬
US Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, has said that every Republican in Congress has an AIPAC babysitter.
Yes, I saw that interview also.
Tucker carlson is ripping’em apart
Not only every GOP, but almost all Congressional members. He just knew the Republican ones.
Democratic system should have mechanism to control their elected member post vote. It shouldn't be voted once by us and after election remote is with rich lobbies.
@@MapGolay-sb6hn that's a great point, although in the era of smartphones and mass encrypted communications, I think the entire concept of a professional politician who we vote for and then who has free reign to make law however they please with no responsibility to respect the will of their constituents is antiquated and unnecessary. When it took days to get a single message between DC and NY, it made sense to have professional representatives who were charged with making snap decisions on everyones behalf. But today, everyone can be polled directly in an instant.
AIPAC is not comparable to any other lobby, because other lobbies serve international interest groups. AIPAC serves *a foreign nation.*
so did the cuban counter-revolutionary lobby. but we don't learn that history. AIPAC is absolutely comparable and MUST be compared to every other lobby. there is no 'freedom' for anyone, otherwise.
I started hearing negative campaign ads about Jamaal Bowman before i ever saw his OWN ads. All for criticizing the slaughter of Palestinian children. Wish I could move to Westchester so I could vote for him.
Ban AIPAC!
Ban all lobbyists, why just AIPAC?
@@mk3kxc4u Mainly because nobody's talking about them.

The influence of AIPAC needs to be fully understood and discussed openly in the US and globally.
Thanks you for this

I'm glad to have found you Mehdi on RUclips! I get so much REAL information from your commentaries and research into important topics that effect our country. Thank you for your contribution to preserving democracy!
Great discussion and needed now more than ever.

The wolf upstream accused the lamb downstream of not only polluting his drinking water but also not leaving any water for all the wolves ,to die of thirst.An act of genocide.
Canadian living in Spain says thank you for this. I'm watching after Bowman lost. corruption all around.
The weapons manufacturers backed by their institutional investors spend a lot more money on lobbying than AIPAC can ever dream of. Do not disregard them.
look up what Massie told Carlson about AIPAC before you start attacking Mehdi.
Yep, seen that interview. Quite chilling.
Mahdi Hasan is pride of journalism with humanity and courage .. may Allah protect you ❤❤
May God bless you and zeteo. Keep up the great work.
Utmost respect to you Mehdi , thank you for all your good work .Thank you .
It’s not a trope, there is dual loyalty!
Imagine, as a US politician, proudly stating that you are under the influence of a foreign entity. . .

Save humanity and Free the USA From AIPAC

Too late 😢
@@larryc1616. never too late, it will be a long hard slog but I’m not willing to wear the Israeli yoke.

Free world from Islam
*Too late. The cancer within has metastasized.*

Register aipac as a foreign lobbyist or just outright ban them.
1 of your previous presidents tried to do just that....... Unfortunately he was shot in the head in the back of a car a few months later....
If any group should be labeled terrorists it's Aipac
Most of the Dems are bought by AIPAC, Biden has received more than any politician. The system is rigged. #WETHEPEOPLEENDCITIZENSUNITED. Reject their influence.
Free US Congress from AIPAC!!!
Free the US government from Israeli occupation! They must register as a 'foreign agent' and be prevented from donating ANY lobbying money to our reps in Congress
To dream the impossible dream..
@@giankperez6377 the word possible is within the word impossible, therefore watch the space!!
We must also Ban AIPAC.
#BanAipac
Why just AIPAC? Why not all the other crazy lobbyists out there.
@@mk3kxc4u I guess that you missed the word also?
They are *so open* about their agenda. Too *powerful* to care.
Agree 👍
AIPAC are scum
Drop AIPAC! The U.S. doesn't need this lobby group around.
Amun Mohamed - WRONG. The US does not trust UNWRA, and has cut of their funding, as have most of the others who give them funding.
UNRWA claimed they would close by the end of February, then April and they are still around but now they are caught.
A lawsuit just filed claims UNRWA led a billion-dollar money laundering scheme to aid Hamas.
The legal action claims that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) orchestrated a billion-dollar money laundering operation that funded Hamas, significantly reducing humanitarian aid to Gaza residents and contributing to the October 7 attack.
UNRWA the lawsuit claims was complicit in diverting funds intended for Gaza's population into channels supporting Hamas terrorism
Specifically "The findings in this lawsuit demonstrate that UNRWA was aware of and actively participated in the diversion of funds earmarked to support the people of Gaza into channels that ensured those funds were used for terrorism and in violation of international law. UNRWA's insistence that over a billion dollars in Gaza aid be distributed in US cash that locals could not spend without going through Hamas money changers is one of the most damning pieces of new evidence presented in this case."
The lawsuit, according to the press release, alleges that UNRWA was fully aware of Hamas' dominance in all levels of its educational system in Gaza and the West Bank and that UNRWA continued to print textbooks bearing the UN seal that contained controversial content, even after reports of abuse and alarm were raised by the US, UN, and EU, and after the EU froze assets.
UNRWA it is claimed continued to print textbooks bearing the UN seal that taught little children grammar by having them write, 'I will commit jihad to liberate the homeland' and 'nourish the homeland with [my] blood.'"
The lawsuit also alleges that UNRWA often taught Gaza's children and those in the West Bank to count by counting the martyrs killed in the 2014 Intifada.
These claims suggest a systemic issue within UNRWA's educational programs, potentially contributing to the radicalization of Gaza's youth (and youth in the West Bank too)
"Hamas - a known terrorist organization whose charter claims peace would only be possible when Israel is destroyed - openly controlled 24 of 26 leadership positions in the UNRWA employee union.
At least 10% of UNRWA employees were members of Hamas and over 100 were proven to have taken part in the October 7 attack,"
The lawsuit also claims that UNRWA's operational costs and staff size per refugee served are nearly ten times that of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
UNRWA and seven commissioner-generals, deputy commissioner-generals, and directors who allegedly oversaw the illegal schemes from New York are named in the lawsuit.
On June 24, 2024, a group of over 100 Israeli victims and families affected by the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack filed a lawsuit against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in U.S. federal court.
I am so glad Mehdi Hassan has the courage of a lion to create Zeteo. He’s amazing. Free Palestine!
Mehdi a lion? No. A snake.
It's incomprehensible why bribery is legal in USA..!??
Silence since 2010, Citizens United, IS COMPLICITY 🤭😜😉
Citizens United
Because the people making laws are the ones being bribed
Mitch McConnell legalised it and made it meta.
There can never be democracy under capitalism. They are opposing ideologies.
If you live in Jamaal Bowman's District please come out to vote for him. You'd not only keep one of The Best people we have in Congress. You'd be giving AIPAC & Hillary Clinton the finger...Win Win for everyone. 🙆🏿♂️🙆🏻♀️
Don't just vote for him! Go out door-knocking!
Wait, is he Muslim? I heard the brother say Insha'Allah. 😆
@hueypautonoman He is NOT Muslim. And one does not have to be Muslim to be a good human being and voted for.
Jamal is a first class idiot!
💯phone and text banking for him. Please vote
Reject AIPAC protest with your vote. We want back our freedom
Free America from #AIPAC
FREE PALESTINE
Wake up America

It wants to sleep in, sadly... Mehdi and a few are trying to wake them up! I'm afraid they're still largely asleep.

Amazing journalism. Good job Mehdi, I am sure after this clip, I am afraid AIPAC will go after you.
Love and support to this credible, honest journalism.
You are a remarkable individual who consistently demonstrates great integrity and professionalism in your journalistic endeavors. Your commitment to upholding the highest standards of journalism is truly commendable, and you stand out as one of the few journalists who remain dedicated to providing accurate and unbiased information to the public. Keep up the excellent work, and may you continue to inspire others to follow your lead in maintaining the integrity of journalism.
All oppression should be condemned. That's it.
It should be fought against! 😢
How about Hamas?
@@rosieeinhorn5257Definitely including Hamas.
*Israel Yaakov Sharett, son of Moshe Sharet, former head of the Shin Bet - 2 February 2020: "I'm not afraid to say that the treatment of Palestinians today is worthy of the Nazis. We don't have gas chambers, of course, but the mentality is the same. It's racial hatred. They are treated like sub-humans.
…."It's crucial to see the difference between anti-Semitism and criticism of Israel. To be honest, I'm flabbergasted at how, in 2019, the outside world accepts Israeli propaganda."
* Norman Finkelstein: "The greatest insult to the memory of the Holocaust is not to deny it, but to use it as an excuse to commit genocide against the Palestinian people".
Even the NRA cares about the US, in their own point of view. AIPAC actually doesn't. Just in this report, you can see, it doesn't matter what's best for the US, only is-real.
what they're doing now is, ironically, hastening the end of the zionazi entity.
They are more dangerous to our country than the imaginary enemies they created in mainstream media
Most Jews in US support Israel and support AIPAC. They represent Jewish interests
Medhi is now UNLEASHED from the chains of MSNBC. One door closes and another bigger door opens up. Almost a half million subscribers already. Congratulations Medhi!
The power group at MSNBC said, "we can't have this brown Muslim running around talking truth to power...he's OUT.
Great journalism, Mehdi, keep it up. Kudos from Kenya
In every congressional district with an AIPAC candidate, the whole area should be covered with posters and billboards with a picture of the candidate and “AIPAC” printed in big block letters across their forehead. Candidates right now are so scared of not taking AIPAC money and getting primaried. We need to change it so they are scared of taking AIPAC money and getting exposed.
Actually, any politician who receives AIPAC money should be in prison for life.
This is a brilliant idea, this comment needs more attention.
We love you brother reporting the truth. Thank you.
Free Palestine from isrsel. Free America from isrsel.
