Palestine Talks | Chris Hedges on the moral corruption of Israel and the “savagery” of violence
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 май 2024
- In this episode of Palestine Talks, we speak to writer and activist Chris Hedges as he discusses the philosophical nature of the evil underlying Israel’s violence against the Palestinian people, and the radical dehumanisation of Palestinians based on his own troubling experience covering stories in war zones.
He also discusses how American media, paralleling the propaganda of the Israeli lobby, deliberately trivialises such violence and misleads the public.
As Hedges points out, this reflects how such media including outlets that enjoy a “liberal” or “progressive” reputation like The New York Times “embraces American militarism”, contemptuous of both human life and the possibility of peace grounded in actual principles of justice.

I was stunned, and deeply saddened to see Chris’s announcement on X that he was just abruptly sacked from his weekly interview program on “The Real News.” Very grateful this morning to TRT for inviting him on, his voice is so necessary, and yet the cowardly forces continue to try to suppress him.

So much for "the REAL news" . Clearly NOT.
Wait what?
I watch TRNN for him....
Dang the real news network had been so good? Are we sure he was sacked and not just a priority shift??? Thats so disheartening. Chris is a hero
@@c.j.9141 Paul Jay helped to establish TRNN, and he cut ties in 2019. I tuned in only to hear Hedges. (He plans to re-platform with an independent network; said it may take a few weeks.) As for TRNN, I'm done.
I hope you find a better job. Chris, you are one of the most intelligent, talented, great an expertand you never hear him tell a lie as other people said. I always watch and listen to your show. I know soon we will see you again. Congratulations for all your brilliant shows so far. So thank you
Thank you TRT for conducting this interview with Mr Chris Hedges. We, the viewers, are very grateful to hear from a journalist who has kept his integrity and tells the truth. Thank you kindly.
❤❤❤
I would love to see a debate between Chris and RFK Jr.
He is a socials/Marxist/anti-America/anti-Jew.
He deserves no thanks.
My truthful comment was removed. So much for free speech.
@@marylamb7707you sound like a zionist
Chris Hedges speaks the truth as horrible as it is. He lived through various wars as he travelled to warn-torn regions risking his life to cover the situations. His eloquence, humility, honesty and professionalism are second to his humanity and fight for justice for humanity. Our world needs more people like Chris Hedges.

@@wendyfay16 In the UK, Sangita Myska was sacked by LBC - a London radio station - for asking pertinent questions, of an Israeli spokesman, about the bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus.
It's truly staggering the control that Israel/Israeli interests appear to be able to exert on Western nations and their reporting on/approach to Israeli
❤ Exactly
And what a pleasure it is to hear a calm, reasonable discussion of this troubled situation, as hideously awful as the subject matter is. I like this moderator, and Chris Hedges is THE impeccable expert on Palestine, having received his 'trial by fire' in the belly of the beast known as extremist Zionism. The Real News did itself no branding favors by removing him from their site...including his entire past presence. I guess that rubbing out his record was sufficient for TRN's principle conservative donor. How worrisome that a handful of plutocratic zealots can control the conversation and thus enable genocide in front of our eyes.
@@kieran2842I think their influence is not influence. UK helped set up Israel and USA took over later. Israel cannot exist without those countries.
Like always, Israel was set up to do the dirty work of Empire in the Middle East. America may not like certain tactics of Nettie and Zionists but it doesn't stop America's imperialist goals.
The great Hedges speaks the Truth.
Thank you. I am a member of Jewish Voice for Peace and so I agree with the great Chis Hedges
Has he ever talked about the creation of Pakistan? 10 million violently forced from their homes, 1 million died. Why don't we talk about those refugees?
Fraud
@@barbaralyons3978 We Need more JV for P ... Shouting ... in order to drown out the others. Seems they've won again now that Chris has been abruptly sacked from TRNN! See the post above. Apparently he announced in on his X account .. but will move onto an independent platform within the next few weeks while it's being organised.
@@barbaralyons3978 Thank you for not choosing sides and just wanting peace
He is a propagandist. His history is wrong and his logic is well suited for the anti Zionist causes. .
I really enjoyed this interview. It is not the first time I have seen Chris Hedges speak. I saw him speak at a church in Ottawa, Ontario many years ago. I also have a few of his books. Very insightful!! He is a Christian, theologically trained, a former war correspondent (I always think their views are important!) and jaded enough to know the human condition is not pretty. I commented earlier, but I did not mention, I stopped this interview several times to back it up to revisit what he said. I had quite an impact. Thanks to TRT for this interview of a North American Christian and journalist that is increasingly being marginalized. The powers that be will continue to try and they may succeed, but some of us are already on to them. We are listening, Chris! Keep up the good work brother!! :)
Chris Hedges! I just unsubbed from the Real News because they canceled him over his views.

What? off to check on that...
What?? He's off of Real News??
Slaves were liberated. Aparthied SA was abolished. The time for Palestiniansm freedom is now.
Never was a Palestinian, just Arabs from Saudi, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon et al. Dont drink the koolaid from the PLO.
They were free. They had their own state called gaza and chose to vote in a terrorist organization called hamas as their government.
They need freed from hamas
Slaves were liberated by the west.
Exactly 💯
So glad to listen to the intelligent and distinctly compassionate words of one of our greatest, smartest voices today, Chris Lynn Hedges. I unsubscibed to The Real News Network that dropped him as their most eloquent speaker.

Thank you for for this interview. Hedges is a truth teller.
Chris Hedges tells 'inconvenient' truths. Sometimes they're not particularly pragmatic for the power structures (e.g.. the Biden campaign), but as for me, I'd rather have the truth and decide my own brand of pragmatism, political strategy, or transactionalism in how I vote or otherwise activate politically. It's called "being an adult in a democracy." Too bad if somebody doesn't like it.

@@justpassingthrough...2492I feel the same way, but many people can't overcome their cognitive dissonance and biases, unfortunately. Of course I have a lot of these too, but at least try to listen to a range of voices from time to time. It's time-consuming and - to use your words - often truly inconvenient. But necessary. And it is (at least in my case) still far from being politically or really active. That's even more inconvenient, to actually be a driver of some kind of change. Or just to disagree with something openly. It is scary and brave, that's why it's so important to support experts and voices like Chris Hedges.
I used to think the internet was ruining humans but without it Palestine would have been wiped out by now. The constant imagery of the horrors is pulling those of us with compassion out of the arms of evil.
CHRIS HEDGES IS ONE OF MY FEW MENTORS AND HEROES NOT FOR HIS KNOWLEDGE, LIFE EXPERIENCE, AND SHARP INTELLECT BUT FOR HIS UNCOMPROMISING DECENCY, COURAGE, AND SELF- RESPECT
HE IS SIMPLY A ROLE MODEL NOT JUST FOR JOURNALISTS BUT ALSO FOR OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS GROWING UP LIKE HIM IN DIFFICULT TIMES

Mr Hedges.. I'm Kenyan by birth. It hurts my being tremendously knowing how my people underwent such brutality and utter dehumanization. It's a feeling that has recurred over generation and quiet truthfully may never be erased. Most of our us defer these sentiments or just try to uncomfortably exorcise them even generationally removed from them. My grandpa inexorably did after much of my unrelinquished prodding... painful as it still is. Gaza and the bloody fight for Palestine is opening those urgly memories all over again. I was not there then when my forefathers fought for me to be alive today.. but I'm here now to fight for the future of the Palestinians. I believe most of the world shares my sentiments. Viva Palestine!!
The Chris Hedges Report is my favourite show of the week hands down. I’m beyond disappointed. Just crushed. 💔

@HughJass-jv2lt, Avi Shlaim recounts, how they were sprayed with DDT, when entering colonised Palestine in the tails of the mossad's sinister early1950s bombing campaigns in neighbouring countries (ref. Lavon Affair/op. susannah).
Bibi left the chat quickly with Gvir..
A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good, just because you don't want to accept the fact.
So true, but a lie becomes powerful enough to deny moral and ethical lines by a most successful strategy of indoctrination and propaganda. This is a human world set up by Western Ruling Classes who are depraved and savage and our true enemy, yet we barely know their names.
there has been no empathy displayed in Israeli society regarding the plight of innocent Gazans as a result of the inhumane actions of their government. They are all complicit in this and must be held fully accountable.
It’s true, notice how all the protests are only about the hostages and not about the war? A truly selfish and warped society
At worst there have been pockets of less than generous actions of empathy. But the Israel forces have tried very carefully to avoid death to non military citizens. But the democratically elected government is the one that perpetuates war on
Israel and when democracy fails the people will suffer because of who they elect.
He explains it perfectly around the 12-13.5 minute mark. Makes sense.
100% agree. They are people who lack empathy, have zero humanity and just couldn't care less about anyone else. Their God is money.
Sick society.
Mr. Chris Hedges is jewel of this earth. He has so much knowledge and wisdom. I love listening to him! ❤️

You forgot the British in Ireland where they committed Genocide on many occasions.
Was that before Ireland's slave market that lasted 400 years where they used England and Wales to get their humans to sell?
And the British still occupy Northern Ireland. I'm Native American and have a huge admiration for Irish resistance against British colonization

All lies by commies. Dublin slave markets
That's what makes the Irish so stubborn. And Israelis expect Hamas to go away? Based on what the IDF is doing to Palestinians?
But they didn't win! :) They were almost as brutal as the Americans & Israelis ...
Thank you Sir Chris Hedges for simply telling the truth !
They need to be brought to justice!!
Govt by People's Referenda:
Peaceful Occupation of our Capitals until it's installed, or run Mascot Candidates
Single Issue Referendums with thresholds and a social contract means Communities can vote their own laws.
A Public Authority can audit police and prosecute bad cops in our own courts.
Nationalise resources and give Indigenous peoples the right of Sovereignty over them as Guardians.
This can be achieved through a General Strike or Velvet Revolution, much like the Occupy movement, peacefully occupying State Buildings until a People's Mandate can be implemented.
With the appropriate checks and balances, you could have a national digital forum where qualified professionals can debate the issues in a public setting without all the disinformation and bad faith antics, hatespeech etc.
Any vote would need to pass the 70% threshold, with a veto or _rewrite_ vote needing 30%.
The issues would be debated, the public educated, and then a vote taken. Votes that fail will have to wait a year before trying again. Any new proposal (Citizen Initiated Referendum) would have to reach a threshold of support before it made it onto the register. This would be subject to a Social Contract (New Constitution) that forbids human rights abuses and discrimination.
That can be written in the same manner based on the core principles we all share. Councils and Boards could operate in the same fashion at Scale.
It works in a way that obligates people to better educate themselves ( that is to use logic and evidence in their reasoning ) for a better understanding of the issues, and then take collective responsibility for the outcomes. As opposed to the divisive US v them scapegoating and bi-partisan finger pointing the current Capitalist Pyramid Scheme runs on.
We need Government by People's Referenda, either through Mascot Candidates or Peaceful Occupation of the Capitals until one is established.
Make it an annual event on Oct 14
All the Israelis need to be brought to justice as they are all complicit and agree with their nazi government.

Excellent episode. Chris does VERY good work, always good to listen to, for he always was unbiased, open-minded, etc., VERY good about CAREFUL thinking, analysis, reflection. Big Thank You to Chris and TRT for this episode.
let's also not forget that America also did this (settler colonialism) to the Native American Indians at the beginning of it's history
Not exactly. The jews went to Palestine with the intention to take over the region and drive out the Palestinians from the beginning. When Europeans came to north america they had no intention of driving out or killing the native Americans. All of them mrtely thought of north America as planet earth, a continent, big enough for all to spread out and live. I realize things changed over time, like a few hundred years. But the euro refugee Jews always intended on taking away the land from Palestinians and eliminating them totally. From the beginning.
I watched this interview twice. Very educational. With what has just happened to Chris, I've no doubt he'll continue to go on being successful with his own channel. If it happens I'll subscribe to it. Support from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you Chris Hedges ‼️🇵🇸🍉🪶
The Hebrew Bible repeatedly highlights the wickedness of Israel
Religious based violence is terrorism by definition
Bout time we asked Zionists to define terrorism without describing israel
The New Testament Kjv puts the Jews in the last book "Revelations" as being False. "Those that say they are Jews and are not". They are end time prophecy warnings. Very scary how these Jews are literally converts from Germany, Russia, and Ukraine who have no ancestors genetically linked to the 12 tribes of Israel. DNA tests have consistently proved that they are not of the Biblical lineage, not the Hebrews , not related to any of the 12 tribes of the Biblical Covenant.
The basis of antisemitism in Christian and Islamic society is the cultural appropriation of Judaism by these other religions. Cultural appropriation also results in hatred by the larger dominant society that is doing the appropriation for the smaller, weaker society that is being appropriated. In places like China and India where there is no cultural appropriation of Judaism, then there is no antisemitism.
You can't spell LIARS without ISRAEL
@@allenmoses110 That's lame... "cultural appropriation"?? More like centuries of being called "Christ killers" and discriminated against. In Islam they are along with Christians "People of the Book". The Saudi version of Islam-- "Wahabi"-- is a new invention.
Thank you for having Chris on your show. He is a truly wonderful speaker and writer of the truth. He's great to listen to. 💝

Chris Hedges! Informative and thought provoking
Unvarnished truth.
That's why they're getting rid of the truth sayers that can't be morally corrupted and smashing the mirrors they hold up. Norm Finklestein, Mehdi Hassan, Sangita Myska let go from LBC, the US government banning Tik Tok and outlawing dissent against Israel, and now Chris Hedges who had been fired from the NYT over his accurate ME coverage, now Real News Network has fired Chris over his critical Biden and Israel reporting. It won't work, though. Billions know the truth, and now billions more will know it.
Can we stop referring to October 7 as some focal point in history? Start in 1946
Exactly 🤔
What? When Pakistan was created forcing ten million from their homes?
It's a conscious tactic done in order to destroy context, and thus any thought on, or debate of, Israel's current actions. To imply that this conflict didn't start with Hamas would imply that both Palestinians' and Israeli's actions need to be historically analyzed, and the crimes of October 7 contextualized, which would inevitably lead to the deconstruction of Israel's tapestry of falsehoods.
The whole point is to prevent any analysis of Israel's actions, putting all the onus of change, restraint, and responsibility, upon a victimized population that has no possibility to achieve it (due to the conscious actions conducted by Israel), as opposed to a powerful state entity and military apparatus that has functioning institutions, a relatively functional democracy (for some of their population), and the full backing of wealthy Western countries.
It's also the reason why they will never refer to Hamas', or Palestinians', actions as complex, which they will for Israel and its army; and it's also the reason why they will focus discussion on "bringing the hostages home", but never expand that term to mean the 5000 or so Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Again, this is a conscious strategy, that has been extensively thought-out by the Israelis, all done in order to legitimize what they're currently doing, but also what they've always done.
The focus on October 7 is the work of CNN, Fox, MSNBC, NPR, New York Times, and others in the corporate media. We have to unplug from their noise and look to those who tell the truth.
Oh, you mean when the major countries in the middle East desired to annihilate Israel. Or the genocidal (by their own admission) Hamas?
The US was founded and it grew on the basis of settler colonialism. First Nations people are suffering today because of this.
Blah, blah, blah...
The governments of the United States, Latin America, Canada for decades have been forcing relocation on Native Americans/Indigenous/First Nations from their lands. I'm not talking about the 1800s, I'm talking about today in the modern era. It's not really because people in the west don't know, it's more because they don't care about native/indigenous people.

Free Palestine 🇯🇴 🇯🇴 🇯🇴
Thank you for the balanced and insightful discussion.
All right wing people the world over think the same as Israel. Gaza is visible to everyone as are the smaller areas in small countries. But bigger nation states have already started using their military and para military forces to clear up lands of people where the corporates show interest. The ruling clique has a colonial mindset and have replaced the foreign masters.
I'm not quite as jaded & Hope that this Israel lobby & its mindset is stopped. There's only one people causing this to happen, and they have spread it around the globe. I think that this will be a turning point & humanity will see it for what it is and stamp it out because we can't have a world without humanity.
$$$$$
I was born in and grew up in colonial Kenya. I am the son of a British settler. I recognize the talk that comes out of Israel. Translated from the Hebrew it is the same messaging our government offered us to justify the indefensible. The more things change the more they stay the same.
God bless you Chris for your courage and honesty!
The greater deceptions and lies were the fabrication of their suffering and victimhood.
Of who’s? No doubt the Jewish people went through suffering and have been victims to history. Christians have abused Jewish people for two millennia. Doesn’t mean what they’re doing now makes it better. As it’s said, two wrongs don’t make a right
Thank you Chris Hedge for educating us about the history of our own country, the world and the Horrific Genocide taking place in Gaza! May the world wake up ! Blessings to you!
Thank you Chris Hedges for your willingness to shed light on the plight of the Palestinians and Israel’s unending crimes against them. There has to be a way to force the Israel lobby to stand down and free America’s decision making on this conflict. We cannot continue with the enabling of a criminal project that’s been playing out for 75 years.
Thank you, this discussion was so informative. 💥💥💥
Since you understand Arabic here is my message to you Sir Chris hoping you’ll read it:
بارك الله فيك وأسأل الله العظيم رب العرش العظيم أن يهديك و يحميك في ظله يوم لا ظل إلا ظله لأنك قلت كلمة حق في وجه سلطان جائر

THANKYOU CHRIS HEDGES FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH AND BEING A VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS.
Initially, Israel as the USA’s “landed aircraft carrier” in west Asia was controlled, funded and protected as a strategic asset helping US project power in the region. However, as AIPAC’s power increased and globalism has taken root, now it seems more accurate to say the US military and US’ UNSC veto is controlled by Israel. Is this correct?
🎯
Excellent analysis. Correct
Without justice it s never peace
hi from Denmark I have shared this with all my friends around the world ty TRT
Extremely insightful...
Top notch. 100% support this. What is Chris’ view on how this can be resolved peacefully and equitably?
If you didn't know ANYTHING about what the situation of the Palestinian people entails, I STRONGLY URGE you to listen to Chris Hedges in this interview, it MIGHT just open _some_ eyes to the REALITY! . . .
The human is realizing that it doesn’t matter the technology, the education, or the religion, the human has always been lost to the madness of their own creation. H
The danger of such a sweeping generalization is that it knows of no degrees of evil. Ordinary people commit evil acts, no doubt; but the evil of those in power has far-reaching consequences, harming multitudes, sometimes over several generations. The USA, UK, and IOF have far superseded the evil acts committed by Hamas on 10/07.

I'd take Israel over ANY Muslim majority country. Mobs of Muslims with nothing better to do get riled up if they even THINK someone might hurt their holy book. That's insane!
Thankyou Chris Hedges

Important information. Thank you.
Real. Revealing. Succinct. On every dimension. Will recommend this to everyone as a must watch discussion with Chris Hedges. Thank you for broadcasting this depth of insight.
Absolutely! Me too!
Chris, I believe you could include the six-counties of so-called Northern Ireland as a settler colonial state because those people who support continued British occupation define themselves exactly as British settlers in that part of ireland. It means of course the occupation of a large section the Irish nation who are Irish citizens in their own land, and the denial of Irish national rights and democracy. And the British likewise speak in terms of their settler entity, referring to the "people of Northern Ireland", a term which excludes the Irish nationalist population of the six-counties who are Irish citizens living under foreign rule; a colonial state of the British empire, hostile to the Irish nation and Irish independence. We have so much in common with our Palestinian brothers and sisters, including the fact that we are both enduring the betrayal of a leadership that has completely capitulated to our eternal enemy.
Brilliant interview and analysis from Hedges Top class.
Happy that Chris talks with this beautiful and very interested interviewer!
Very illuminating... Thank you. Chris Hedges manages to put everything into perspective.
