Palestine Talks | In conversation with Max Blumenthal (Part 1)

In the first of this two-part interview, investigative journalist at The Grayzone and author Max Blumenthal discusses the “genocidal” nature of the Democratic Party, in relation to its support for Israel’s campaign of violence against Palestine. While citing several concrete examples he also illuminates troublesome connections between American mainstream media, government and Israel, including how they work in tandem to vilify Palestinians and mislead the public.

[@harmoni4499]

Thanks Max Blumenthal for telling us the truth!

[@TinusTegenlicht]

How do you know it is the truth? He is biased as well, but if people agree with what he says, then they see it as truth. But nobody does any further checking. He said if an Israeli is speaking, he is probably lying. Which journalist says something so outrages and then add probably. So, he doesn't know, then it slander. I can say the same if someone from the Grayzone is speaking, they are probably biased. Is that the truth? Nope, it isn't, it might be or it might not be.
