Mahdi Hassan interviews those with differing and extreme views politely, patiently and professoinally. Nevertheless, challenges firmly their views, and elicits the information that is important. Well done! This is the reason I watch your show.
it's what journalism is. And what people deserve. When the rubber meets the road is in court. if your defense is, hey, it wasn't news, it was entertainment, then you are not a journalist, you are a hack.
Well the truth is the opposite. He was simply trying to impose and convince people what he believes and trying making the ambassador look fool but the ambassador responded him precisely and intelligently. Especially the last part was epic, " build a 70 stories in Manhatan and you will see how smart you will need to be". Ambassador nailed it. Ding, ding!
@@Joebethere7 The truth is Palestinians do not want to acknowledge there is indeed a state of Israel, Israelis never acknowledges there is a a country called Palestine. So, these two people do not want peace in short. For the first time peace deal was initiated by Trump, which by the way, was not acceptable by both sides anyway, so, how is my imagination not true at all? And how is that fair only to accuse one side, when clearly both parties do not want to commit to bring peace???
I just love watching people defend the indefensible. Check out the rationalizations and the sophistry. It's like walking between the rain drops, trying to stay dry.
He wasn’t ready for Mehdi. How smug talking about how Palestinians should be happy with what we decide they should have. By the way, the attributes he blames on Palestinians sound just like the Republican Party. Just sayin’
I heard exactly what you did, so spot on.. Nobody is ever ready for Mehdi to be fair, lol.. One hellava journalist... Him and Chris Hayes are my absolute favorites.. They call out all sides, it doesn't matter.. Doesn't hurt that both of them are Progressives too!
He even talks like some extremist Evangelical/Jew "Judea and Samaria" when referring to the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Notice how the most extreme Israel supporters are evangelicals and a small fraction of Jews from America, often the people who go treat it like Abrahamic Disney World or ultimately colonize it themselves.
@@Awakeningspirit20 It is called Judea/Samaria and was called this up until Jordan took over the area in 48. There was never a Palestinian state (It was under the Ottomans from 1417-1927). What would you call it? It was only called the West Bank in 48. No one colonized Israel. Jews have been on the land each and every day for the last 3000 yrs. The Arabs (not the Bedouin Arabs) are actually the ones who came after 1880 who call themselves Palestinian. Massive Arab immigration, mainly from Egypt, Jordan, and Algeria also) started in the 1800's. You can even read this on Wikipedia.
I blame the Apartheid state of Israel for all the problems in the region. Israel has brutally oppressed the Palestinian people for 74 years, that's the problem. Israel uses lies and propaganda to hide the truth; I don't trust Israel.
6:25 It is at this moment Friedman realizes he can't get away with lying about Bibi wanting peace more than Abbas and the rest of the interview is pure gold. Thank you Mehdi
He's been caught on camera saying Non-Muslims are animals and that homosexuals are worse than animals. It's right here on RUclips. Go have a watch. Oh wait.... You probably agree with that. 🤣🤣🤣 All cool then
LOL ! He was only there to promote his book !The mental gymnastics the poor man had to go through to justify the apartheid state of Israel . Even worse his attempt to explain the impossible contradictions between himself and Trump , on one hand not wanting to say he was wrong but at the other ever aware he had to pacify Trump . Another classic Mehdi interview !
The Arab party, Ra'am, is part of the new Israeli government. There are 15 Arab members in the Israeli parliament. Arab, George Karra, is a judge on the Supreme Court of Israel. Arab, Samer Haj Yehia, is chairman of Israel's largest bank, Leumi. Arab, Dr Masad Barhoum, is Director-General of Israel's Galilee Medical Center. No apartheid.
Sad for me, personally that I will never forget the words of Netanyahu's wife when she daid: "killing Palestinians is like killing worms", that is sad for a human being to say.
What he really did was get a group of countries that were not fighting with each other to agree on a trade deal with each other ..... PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AT LAST !! 🙄
@@daniadventure-dog3649 A group of hereditary dictatorship - more accurately, hence it had nothing to do with the will of the people. Such a deal is worth precisely a tinker's knickers! And THAT is what you'd call "peace in the middle east at last"? hahahahahahahahahahaha...!
As usual, Mehdi was well-prepared for a heavy argument However, it really seemed to me that he was most interested in tricking Friedman into admitting that his former boss was dumb, and a racist Unfortunately, Friedman "litigated" his way out of both attempts Still, even though Mehdi didn't land a knockout blow, his questions led Friedman to expose his own hideous extremism
@@farzana6676 I mean that Friedman's arguments were all true, as far as they went (which is, technically, a form of defense, since a rigorous judge couldn't deny the underlying logic). But Friedman was arguing on only very small points, achieving small tactical victories, whereas the "big issues", and issues of morality, were left unsaid (since he often couldn't realistically hope to "win" in those arguments). To "litigate an issue" is to handle it as a paid lawyer would handle it, where you're manipulating an observer for the purpose of having that observer agree / acquiesce to small issues, to avoid the bigger, more important issues. As an example of Friedman's litigation, Mehdi starts out asking whether Friedman did, indeed, advocate for Israel. Friedman's response is to make a distinction between Israel's sovereign right over the WB (a right supported by negotiated legal treaties, but is not related to whether Friedman advocated) vs Israel's right to exercise that sovereign right (a right which Israel may have, but is STILL not related to whether Friedman advocated). Friedman finally answered Mehdi when he said that the overall peace plan would benefit the Palestinians, not just Israel, thereby implying that he (Friedman) wasn't advocating for Israel. Observers may, or may not, agree with his final answer. But Friedman needed to lead with his initial reply, in order to achieve a small "win" (in terms of pointing-out an actual, undeniable distinction, even though that that "win" does nothing in the larger quest to raise people's understanding of the major issues). Friedman used the same approach throughout, including in his handling of Mehdi's pointed questions over whether Drumpf is dumb, and a racist. The genuine, straightforward answers are obvious for both questions. Instead, Friedman's approach was evasive. It was also argumentative, in the sense that the sole objective was to manipulate listeners into a mindset of agreement / acquiescence with regard to small and/or unrelated issues. Overall, he doesn't attempt to find solutions. He's only interested in achieving his agenda. Good...?

The Jews and the Arabs are historically Semites. Their respective religions follow the same practices in customs regarding food, the place of women, and there are extreme sects in each which means that they don’t interact with the people in countries that are more secular. As these two cultures lived together for hundreds of years, why is one determined to take land from those who have lived there since Biblical times, by people who came from other countries saying that “God” has given us this land” is wrong. To say that Palestinians have equal rights is rubbish when they are being pushed out of there homes by the Israeli Army to give that land to Jewish people. I regard all people as equal and when some are not being treated equally, something is wrong.
So Jews are allowed to live World Wide,, but not the West bank, where Arabs live in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem, Akko, etc.. Arabs are Exempt from Military duty in israel,, so where is the Apartheid?
@@barryusa5 Who called it Apartheid? Arabs have always lived throughout Palestine, Judea, the Holy Land if you will, because it’s considered a holy by both religions. When the Israeli army is being used to clear Arabs from their homes because Jewish settlers want them, its not surprising that they’re exempt. Would you be working against your own people in that circumstance?
@@madeleineswords704 I’m a Kiwi with Maori blood , and my an ancestors were the only people in British colonial history to force them to sign a Treaty. Mainly because they were warriors and New Zealand is a mountainous country with difficult terrain. The British had no chance in that environment. Everywhere else they colonised, the indigenous people and there cultures were almost destroyed. I have Maori, Scottish, Dutch, English and Spanish ancestors. I live in Australia (not my choice 50 years go) where racism is still a hot issue, and the Aboriginal people have survived a White Australia Policy the only ended in 1970, the removal of children, loss of land which is sacred to them and so much more. The minute the last racist dies humanity will be free.

Land stealer never say this others land and support the land woners.
Mehdi is too honest & professional, but I wish the "Ambassador" was asked, "So 2 final questions: how much did you donate to Trump's campaign & do you know Mr. DeJoy?"
Exactly!
Love your comments.
Thank you for being true to your body to be informative 🙏 educating me. I hope that I am able to watch you forever.
Mehdi Hasan is an excellent interviewer. This guy he interviewed here was a tap-dancer.
Why are you the ambassador for Israel?" "I went to Israel a lot and I'm Jewish." Only the best people....
Everything that came out of the mouth of this Zionist Israel first ambassador was pure BS.
He's one of the "Chosen" people, baby, and that's the name of THAT tune. Now give him back his tap shoes--it's time for his next performance! teehehe!
Mehdi that was brilliant Let’s Go!!
😂
My first impression, this must be Trump’s brother, just look at his tie.
More like his secret lover.
The US foreign policies is very full of shame.
No no no I wasn't lying during my confirmation hearings that was called alternative facts or perjury but never lying
He wasn't the only be to lie to Congress without consequences. Luckily his "alternative truths" were not for a life long post.
Mehdi's show isn't like the others, it reminds me of being in college again, international relations, real discussion, intelligent discourse, educational. Definitely becoming a favorite!
Great jounalism !!!
Pure brilliance from Mehdi. Again
Great job in reporting.
Palestine paid for that land and Israel is the aggressor. I don't understand how they can claim to be Jewish.
Paid for? by Whom? Muhamad? do you have proof? Jews are from JUDEA..? sounds familiar? did you get your education in a Gaza Terror tunnel?
💕 meddi Hassan 💕 from uganda east africa! Thanks for challenging and bringing out facts from that propagandist!
The Jews and the Arabs are historically Semites. Their respective religions follow the same practices in customs regarding food, the place of women, and there are extreme sects in each which means that they don’t interact with the people in countries that are more secular. As these two cultures lived together for hundreds of years, why is one determined to take land from those who have lived there since Biblical times, by people who came from other countries saying that “God” has given us this land” is wrong. To say that Palestinians have equal rights is rubbish when they are being pushed out of there homes by the Israeli Army to give that land to Jewish people. I regard all people as equal and when some are not being treated equally, something is wrong.
So Jews are allowed to live World Wide,, but not the West bank, where Arabs live in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem, Akko, etc.. Arabs are Exempt from Military duty in israel,, so where is the Apartheid?
@@barryusa5 Who called it Apartheid? Arabs have always lived throughout Palestine, Judea, the Holy Land if you will, because it’s considered a holy by both religions. When the Israeli army is being used to clear Arabs from their homes because Jewish settlers want them, its not surprising that they’re exempt. Would you be working against your own people in that circumstance?
That because the abrahamic god is a racist, vengeful, bloodthirsty being, when we pretend that he/she/it exists.
The British gave them the land which was already occupied just like the native American indIan
@@madeleineswords704 I’m a Kiwi with Maori blood , and my an ancestors were the only people in British colonial history to force them to sign a Treaty. Mainly because they were warriors and New Zealand is a mountainous country with difficult terrain. The British had no chance in that environment. Everywhere else they colonised, the indigenous people and there cultures were almost destroyed. I have Maori, Scottish, Dutch, English and Spanish ancestors. I live in Australia (not my choice 50 years go) where racism is still a hot issue, and the Aboriginal people have survived a White Australia Policy the only ended in 1970, the removal of children, loss of land which is sacred to them and so much more. The minute the last racist dies humanity will be free.
This aged well.
Excellent exposure Mahdi and team.
Medhi was getting there...but the amb had the last laugh
Mehdi is the best person who interviews.
Its amazing to see how far these American politicians and former officials are willing to go in order to cover for Israel.
"Should they have equal rights, yes or no?"
*Matrix dodge*
Good old Mehdi, absolutely destroyed the the ambassador LOL. Good Job 👍
His qualifications for the job were stellar 😂😂😂😂
Mehdi Hassan is so under rated
*MEHDI BRINGING THE PAIN!* 💖
Wow ! This video is historic Mahdi 🙏
Awesome job Mahdi 👏👍🙏
It’s crazy he helped to make me pro Palestinian not just the far left
Great reporting Mehdi,..Manchinema,..would never make appearances on your show,...😂🤣
One of my favorites… Mehdi….for sure!‼️👍👏👍
This guy shouldn’t have been an ambassador.
He was not there to represent the US. He was there as a Zionist to help the Zionist in Israel.
Mehdi you nailed it,truth will always come out 🙏
Mendacious word salad.
Good interview Mehdi. Thank you.
