U.S. Is “Fully Complicit” in Israel’s Attacks on Lebanon and Gaza

"Everybody [in Lebanon] is talking about … this $9 billion that the US has just promised the Israelis now in the middle of this invasion.”
On this week’s ‘Mehdi Unfiltered,’ American University of Beirut professor Karim Makdisi joins the show to discuss Israel’s latest attacks on Lebanon - including Israel’s explosive pager attacks - and how Israel’s offensive is only increasing Lebanese support for Hezbollah.
Also joining the panel discussion is the Center for International Policy’s Matt Duss, a former Bernie Sanders foreign policy advisor. They discuss the humanitarian toll in Lebanon, how likely it is that Iran will get involved, and how another war could impact the US presidential election.

Hi Mehdi I’m from New Zealand originally born in South Africa. Firstly I would like to say I have the upmost respect for you with standing up for what is right. I know allot of people don’t want to hear it but Israel is an apartheid state except unlike with the South African apartheid state they needed the “blacks” (I hate that phrase) but whereas Israel does not need the Palestinians and Gazan’s so they instead use state sponsored genocide against the people it’s truly horrible and heartbreaking. Do you think with how deeply the US is with Israel that we can truly get the monsters orchestrating this genocide and have a Nuremberg type trials for the war crime and crimes against humanity. Again thank you for using your voice and platform much love and respect from the bottom of the earth.

South Africa needed black labor just not as much as you might think. But they didn't need anybody else. They were self sufficient in food, energy and its military.

[@nessunodorme3888]

@@Ntuthu-ZA I know, especially Israel was pretty tight with South Africa, they helped each other's atomic bomb programs. What I was referring to was South Africa's military self sufficiency, that did not depend on non whites to maintain or operate. It had a lot of real combat experience from constant battles with Soviet -backed armies in Angola and could be expected to be able to repel any conceivable attack. Israel can do none of that without massive, non-stop supplies from the USA: bombs, weapons, ammunition from bullets to tank shells, satellite targeting, air defense systems, cruise missiles, the biggest, most destructive bombs and most advanced fighter bombers to drop them and, of course, fuel. They also depend on the US to supply the personnel needed to shield them from attack. This "assistance" occasionally means getting the US to dedicate all its forces to destroy enemies Israel can't or won't fight by itself. But, as its prime minister famously remarked, America is an easy thing to manipulate!" As for whatever you're implying about the capture of Nelson Mandela, I honestly don't know what you mean.

WITH THIS SAME Q & A; CAN WE SEE ANY SIMILARITIES IN OUR PRESENT DAY REALITES? QUESTION: What do you think of the situation of the European Muslims particularly in Bosnia? IMAM W DEEN MOHAMMED: The people of Europe are closer to the Muslims of Bosnia than the people of America. But I think the American people don't like the mistreatment of life, not to mention human life. American people have an appreciation for life and a soft spot for the person or the life that is being mistreated. We have our arrogant people in America, but they are a very small minority. Most Americans, if given the information correctly, would support, urge, and insist that our president and our government act very swiftly and do whatever America can do to stop the terribly cruel treatment of Bosnian Muslims. QUESTION: Do you feel in such a way that you as a person can help bridge the gap of misunderstanding and conflict between the West and the Muslim groups? IMAM W DEEN MOHAMMED: Yes, I do believe that I can help. I do feel that I as an individual and others in America have worked to bridge a gap, if there is one. And I appreciate that we are doing that. Perhaps we are not informed enough of what is happening in Bosnia. I was to be in Washington for a meeting of mostly Muslims to look at the situation in Bosnia and see what steps we could make in addition to those we were already making. We wanted to bring attention to the problem that is there as humanity's burden. We expect to be meeting more often, and we are trying to urge our government leaders - our president, senators, and congressmen - to look at that situation and see it for what it is. It is real cruelty to the Bosnian people. In America now, every time the media mentions the Bosnian situation, they say, "the Muslims and the Croatians" or "the Muslims and the Serbs," and we don't like that. Also, we see another media attempt to make this problem political and to muffle a charge of genocide. But we do believe that the army wants to exterminate the Muslims of Bosnia, to wipe them out and get rid of them altogether. So, we don't think the issue should be seen as all political. We don't think it is just for territory. We do believe the ethnic cleansing is to get rid of Muslims. In the past we have suffered ourselves as a racial group in America, and because of that we are needed and should be seen supporting the Bosnian people. We also believe the African American Muslims as well as all of the African American people, all Blacks, should join the good Whites in America and bring pressure on our government to do something quick about the situation in Bosnia.

The US is not Fully Complicit in Israel's attacks on Lebanon and Gaza, the US is an equal partner in the genocide. Which country has supplied the 2,000 bombs that incinerate children? Which country keeps sending billions and billions of dollars to Israel? Which country declared that there were no red lines for Israel? Which country allows Israel to say no to every ceasefire deal? All of this comes down to the USA which has enabled and encouraged Israel through every step of this war on children and women.

I learn a lot from hasan mehdi from somalia

[@raffcom2]

This needs to stop!

[@mkj-3313]

Free Free Palestine

[@valentinadivina2229]

The other countries and Arab League that are staying silent are also complicit

Biden can't get out of office fast enough.. hoping Harris will find her voice and moral compass with a forceful no to this aggression.. even Reagan was able to stop it.

[@najahrammouni7492]

She's already said she is another Biden, no light between them, besides Joe is helping her lose the election by keeping her close to his actions

[@taiba2723]

How did they not directly talk about AIPAC and the Israel Lobby????!!

[@imranbasit8276]

Yes! Uncle Sam has always been ‘racist’ and supported racist Afrikaners in South Africa.

[@Xhaka-p5n]

Thank you Mehdi for getting up and bringing out the best of people on your show. Proud that you didn’t succumbed to Aipac😂

[@ExtremeEscapes]

They say and consider Hezbollah as a terrorist group. Sounds hilarious.😂😅 What about the Israel?

[@brianquigley1940]

It's not complicated. At "minimal" cost to itself, the US is letting others debilitate its "enemies", i.e. Putin, Khameini, etc.

[@cellagp321]

How did we overlook the map he presented at the UN. Essentially, it is his version of chinas belt and road. This project passes through all the current conflict zones.

[@zahraabdullahi1601]

American Muslims, you will decide this vote. You know what to do.

[@slimsady10872]

Now why would Israel do this ???? wink wink wink - did you think they would not respond ???

[@Sweetleef]

Mehdi, brother: Why do I get "controlled opposition" vibes from this guy sitting beside you? 😬

[@kamrankarimi4004]

They seem to have a very "dynamic" red line when it comes to the middle east.

Amazing reporting ❤❤❤

[@GiselleYoung-l4l]

Love your work Mehdi - you’re a real star, using your incredible journalistic ability to speak out for Palestine and the oppressed in the middle east. Was sad you left MSNBC, but your new business and channel is amazing. You are an incredible journalist and I speak as a journalist myself in recognition of your incredible abilities & skill. I will continue to follow your work for as long as you produce. Love ya ❤❤❤❤

[@Kevin-yt9or]

But Hezbollah have no business jumping into this war. The pages hit them only. They were the only users of it

[@mr.vonwert6008]

Mehdi is the Man!

[@elephantwildlife8567]

80% strikes from Israel, 20% Hezbollah. Yet Netanyahu says Lebanon strikes Israel without provocation

[@hitreset0291]

100% correct. If the US were to only supply defensive weapons to israel, their actions would be vastly different to this present offensive slaughter of innocent people.

[@ae4784]

Mehdi

[@usmaniqbal836]

We know that But the question is How can we stop the american government?

[@Darth_Insidious]

We can't, at least not this election cycle. It's either voting for status quo, or ratcheting up the support. Blame Biden for not stepping down earlier so that we could have had an open primary.
