Are you interviewing Mehdi or arguing with him? He makes a very valid point - Palestine is an occupied country, not a neighbour. Isreal created Hamas - absolutely. Take the point and stop arguing. Or maybe you don't need to interview anyone at all and just spend the time raving on. Mehdi makes great points, you are rude and overbearing. Join maga.

[@claydogg234]

Israel didn't create Hamas. They funded a non violent Gaza charity which later morphed into Hamas and once that happened they withdrew all associations with the charity and arrested Hamas members. No Palestine is disputed territory without clear borders and united governance and institutions. It can become a country by accepting a deal with Israel something Palestinians have refused time and time again. Interviewers can be tough. Mehdi has argued plenty of times as an interviewer. Relax on the moral high ground nonsense.

[@micumatrix]

I understand what you mean, but the interviewer is not a maga guy. You see how relaxed Mahdi is and he can make all his points uninterrupted. They have respect for each other. The interviewer just plays a specific role to make it more interesting and ask’s controversial questions of other people to give Mehdi the chance to explain things that were too heated in the past. Mehdi is OK with it. Trust Mehdi ;)

[@keep-ukraine-free]

@topoftherock3628 Leaders in the tech world know Musk is a racist charlatan (as Mehdi alludes). Musk founded NEARLY NONE of the companies he runs (Tesla, Space X, Twitter/X). He stole each company from the true founders (he took them to court, forced them to spend millions to defend baseless lawsuits, and in the end they had to negotiate with Musk and in the legal settlements had to agree to let him call himself the "founder" even though he never did). Delve into the truth. Musk is a despicable person who steals (money, ideas, ownership). He has little technical knowledge. He hires people who he bullies and threatens to fire & treat them like slaves. His immense failures with Twitter shows he has no management ability. It's his only company that doesn't get free government bailout (ALL of his other companies got & relied entirely on billions from the U.S. govt, so it wasn't Musk but the U.S. government's funding that made those companies succeed). We can give him credit for fooling the U.S. government. This is why Musk recently joined MAGA & trump, just to get more free money rewarded to him from the trump government. He's also a thin-skinned narcissist. Mehdi was spot on in this interview. He talked of Israel, Palestinians, and Musk with facts.

This has been going on for 76 years. It is time for someone to say "Here is a map of the region, draw lines to represent the borders for the national state you desire." Then make it public and begin negotiations knowing full well, the Israelis will not peacefully go away and the Palestinians will not peacefully go away. Both peoples were born on the land and that cannot be denied. They have got to live side by side. P.S. If Hugo was Palestinian what would he do if he lived in Gaza.

[@HeritageRage-w1e]

It's not a land dispute. It's part of the Jihad.

I have do not trust most if not all of what Humas says and Israel is not that great either. But my argument here will stem around one thing. The Jihad indoctrination starts at birth, and is part of the Gaza education system. There can be no peace when new generations want to wipe out Israel. The Arab people in Israel have never wanted Jewish people in the land. The Arab people wanted an Arab state after the fall of the Ottoman empire. So did Israel. Arab nations of Syria are Jordan were created. Eventually a Jewish state was created. I am for a two state solution but it will not succeed because the Palestinians don't accept Israel being there. They never have. I have heard Palestinians deny that the Jewish people ever lived there.

​@@nancyhope2205A white washed history which puts disproportionate blame on Israel and the USA as per his tirades.

How can you be defending Israel at this point.

[@Longtack55]

As Mehdi's atheistic antagonist Christopher Hitchens would say - "My heart pumps blood - that's all." On Radio NZ today I heard the news reader assert there would be an "exchange of hostages." When did Israel announce to their enemies that they were taking non-combatant hostages? There is no equivalence.

[@Adam-c4d4s]

It's documented that Israel takes civilian hostages by the hundreds. And Hitchens famously, was against the idea of an Israel - based on a book of fiction as he put it.
