Love these two ladies very informative and truth speakers
Great discussion. So very happy to see you Abby. I'm a 73 year old woman that admires you and what you do for us.😁
Love you both for being great reporters for humanity
Me too 🇵🇸♥️
They are so pretty!!! 🥰😍
Was hitler right?
THEY MAY BE PRETTY but these two wonderful humanitarians and good jpurnalists @@davidgafo
And supporters of Hamas. Pityful!
Solidarity from (an anti-zionist, anti-colonialist Jew) Australia! Thank you Rania & Abby!
🇵🇸✊
Thank you for standing up, Jewish leadership against Zionism has never been more necessary.
Two pretty women who would have better things to do than talk nonsense..
How long before you stop calling yourselves jews?
Anti-colonial from Australia LOL. Irony in the statement itself
Abby, ive been following you since I was a teenager. Love your work, courage and speaking truth to power. Keep exposing them. Love from Toronto ❤
My mind is having a hard time understanding this madness as I listen to these HC providers tell their stories. I honesty thought we were past this type of brutality. How can humanity stad by and do nothing as this masacre continues???
Yemin .war same support from London Paris Berlin USA .
💯 Exactly
@@gypsystargirl6626 See you have Rupert. Sheldrake morphic resonance the house of sound in string theory Mr kaku also David bohm has admitted it true from what angle it was viewed was pretty much guarded no doubt it plays a part in some processes and fields
Who is this "humanity" you speak of? It basically means "someone else than me", which is basically the same as no one. There are powers that can oppose this agenda of Israel and USA, but their name isn't "humanity".
Just saying in September 2024 as things seem to be heating up.
Abby I am your fan. Thank you for speaking out. This whole genocide is disgusting and horrific!
This is a great channel and these are great interviews
It is incomprehensible that anyone can justify this slaughter. I am appalled and heartbroken. I also feel so powerless. Thank you for your work that lets the message get out there.
Well said 🤯....I hope all your videos get the airtime it deserves...Thank you
Being sane in this system will make you feel crazy.
Abby’s outrage is what EVERYONE should feel. We are being gaslit on a global scale and we all can feel it. I don’t think the world has even been gaslit so explicitly when we have so much available proof it’s lies. Like if we had social media in the early 2000’s to prove America’s lies.
Yep! See that’s what is so insane to me, is that I know the US lies so much, but to be lying to us on this scale when we can see with our own eyes what is happening! I heard reports of injured woman having c sections with no anesthesia, it’s the most gruesome things we’ve ever witnessed in the present and they just keep saying “Israel has a right to self defense”.
I'm just glad that we have the ability to get genuine reporting and analysis of the current situation in the Middle East. Thank you, Rania and Abby. You ladies are helping to keep journalism alive in the real world...

You posted it approx 45min ago & the chat was only posted about an hour ago. Seriously RAPID work dude ❤
Rania's disgust w/u.s. & democrats matches most americans' by now too.
THANK YOU RHANIA & ABBY, YOUR BOTH DEFENDERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS & FAITH
Great reporting Abby and Rania.
A Syrian friend (who grew up in a refugee camp in Damascus after Israel took over his family’s homeland) says there are loads of Canadian/UN military in the Golan Heights area right now.
Yes Syria retaking Golan is very likely since it is internationally recognized as part of Syria.
Canadians would flip if they knew this, Canada did not EVER recognize Golan as part of Israel.
Can we get any source on this at all?
You guys are absolutely amazing. Thanks abby for speaking the Truth and letting us know the true news

Excellent. I love you both.
Abby we all love you. We love justice. You are our justice. Go ahead
I learn a lot from listening to both of you. ❤ Thank you.
Thank you for another great discussion! You are both amazing.
In my opinion, inspired by the unconditional support of the United States and other NATO countries, the Israeli leadership will continue its strategy of displacing the Palestinian population from the Gaza Strip to Egypt, which has been discussed many times on my channel too, and will also continue to provoke a conflict with Lebanon and possibly with Iran, hoping that the United States and NATO countries will fight for Israel and bear the main burden.
Ankara has filed a lawsuit against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing him of genocide in the Gaza Strip, Metin Kulunk, a lawyer for Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party, said on the social network X.
@@LevanGudadzethe ICC is a joke. Bush should have been indicted years ago.

Rhania is right she does look fantastic!
Abby I love you
Brave, beautiful, and intelligent. These are the ideal women. Much love. Keep up the great work!
Awesome talk much respect as always for abby
Well done Abby. Enjoying the show and all your guests :)
Two amazing and smart women whom speak the utter truth
they are not just racist, their religion tells them to protect Israel at all cost.
Including the cost of .. Israel
Abby thank you for introducing me to Rania. Very moved by her words. I am 73yo Australian who slowly became awakened to the real world through identifying the unbalanced and unfair treatment of Palestine in my twenties.
The constant pushing by zionists and their sayanim inch by inch year by year until Adelson was king of the Congress donors and US secretaries of State were predominantly Duish as were the power brokers of Wall Street, the Fed, MSM, Social Media, FDA, CDC , DNC, Trumps White House and more. Until today where it has become ever more obvious that it is Israel which operates Washington not the other way around. Just look at Congress dressing up in IDF costumes and swearing allegiance to their Fuhrer Netanyahu. By taking control of Washington they also get control of The Five Arses that union of white supremacist nations that speak English.
So many phoney wars to bring “justice, freedom and Democracy” to the Mid East! Most of which occurred in “Greater Israel”!? Wars and regime change to the neighbours.
It is simple, Israel has never achieved peace with its neighbours because it doesn’t want peace.
I just fail to believe that the US takes orders from Israel. Why?
So right. Well people are awakening and the truth will prevail.
Abby Martin the voice of truth
nope, she is just like CNN and BBC, and only used convenient truths. She will lie to sell a story. I've caught her .
Two queens. I've been listening to Abby for decade while she covers the atrocities happening in Palestine. back then not a lot of people were listening. I'm glad her work finally paid off and the world started waking up.
Exactly, shes been on Is-it-Reals axx for a lonnnnnngggg Time

People have always been listening.

Thank you ladies. I’m Lebanese and want to say how proud I am of Rania, she speaks with so much strength and conviction and does so intellectually. God bless all the innocent lives taken during this time.
Rania is Libanaise or Palestinian?
Rania is from Lebanon yes .
She looks and feels Palestinian,
She has no regards for lebanon or the Lebanese.
H I z b do not have a green light from the rest of the Lebanese to wage a war.
They waged a war in Syria, and still fighting there, before Gaza was taken hostage by Hamas.
two real journalists ...thank you both for your work .
Yes agreed.
Two of the most heroic people in the world. They are the conscience of the world.
Rania you make me proud as a Lebanese in Lebanon, I was laughing when i found out that you're here lol Abby you're a beast as always, keep fighting the good fight ladies
I just can't wrap my head around the fact that some people are still blaming Hamas for this genocide
?? All of a sudden I understand, not defend, but I understand why Isael does what they do, starting from your comment.
Well not hamas but Allah 500 years ago
Because brainwashing and submitting to authority are hallmarks of enslaved people. Whipped dog syndrome is heavy in the west.
My impression is that Hamas behaved in a way that Isreal and the west wanted and that the shocking level of carnage is what they want..... They want to inflame passions and make the whole region explode.
@@sturetrandans3747I've heard someone use this metaphor: imagine having your home invaded and you are thrown into your bathroom while they ransack your house and threaten your life. Then you try and escape, maybe with violence, and you are now to blame for the whole situation.
Thank you ladies. Independent journalists with journalistic integrity are the heroes of our time.
Thank you, Abby and Rania. God bless you both.
Wow. Rania brought in alot of new dynamics that have been at play in that region. In particular her clarification on Hezbollah's existence (and similar resistance groups) as a counter to the corrupt Lebanese armed forces, were completely new information for me.
And I would have continued to be ignorant of the complexities of that region had i continued to rely on western media's narrative (i.e. that these are no more than Iranian proxies). Thanks alot Abby Martin for bringing her on the show.
A really good book that taught me so much about Lebanon was Pity the Nation by Robert Fisk a journalist who was based in Beirut for 30+ years. He had amazing access over the years even interviewed Bin Laden pre and post 9/11

They should blame muslims.Pakistan murdered 2 million hindus in 1971.Why don't people talk about that.
Two pretty women who would have better things to do than talk nonsense..
I’m glad Abby is back. When this first happened she was the only one who came to mind that I remembered talking about this and I really needed to learn. I’ve since bought many books, listened to many podcasts, done lots of research and it’s quite clear that Israel has to stop occupying them. Stop taking their homes. Treat them like equals. Stop the genocide. It’s disgusting how long this affair has been able to continue.
Why does the US still support israel?????
Because it is not in the interest of the filthy rich in the United States to have a government "for the people".
No money in it.
As compared to their motto of "Death Destruction and Division will always be the more profitable pursuit".
If the Jews of this world do not want to witness another genocide of their people then they need to reign in this blood thirsty Israeli government NOW before it is too late.
No because Jews in Vermont and Sanders worked in Palestiniansm and abbey didn't and senator Bernie Sanders knows that Palestinians has a billion dollars in nature gas and oil and cease fire not happening and senator Bernie Sanders voted for the Ukraine money and senator Bernie Sanders knows it wrong because his relatives die fighting against the nazi regime and Ukraine but Vermont over 84 percent of Vermont voters wanted to support the Ukraine bullshit everywhere about Sanders and Tucker Carlson went on to Spain with the socialist party to overthrow the corrupt Spanish government and Zionist Israel bought America
Thank you for being the kind of person who hears about something they know nothing about, and immediately proceeds to educate themselves as much as they can on it before forming an opinion. I wish there were more people like you.
@@Merudinnn Thank you. Those are kind words and I appreciate them.
@@Merudinnn not a opinion it's a fact and chesley Manning threw Greenwald under the bus and Brazil TH-cam channel wanted Greenwald in Brazil to face a Brazil court for being a traitor and Hamas are terrorists and Zionist Israel are terrorists and some countries wanted wars crimes against the Zionist Israel administration like they did to Hitler administration and a socialist jew from Vermont now lives in Europe somewhere and studied the collapse of communist Russia and seen the British empire collapse and said that the American collapse is next because what going on in China and Jimmy Dore had sex with a underage girl before he was married British and some Canadian TH-cam channels really investing all the American and Canadian and British government bullshit and those are facts and the British new leader family in India made money from Russia and he makes money from Zionist Israel and Sanders listen to the people in Vermont who put him in office because his relatives die fighting the nazi regime and Ukraine but Vermont support Ukraine for some reason and Sanders knows how to trade illegally he did with Russia it was Russia steel for Vermont products and some African countries no money change hands because that illegal and Canadian and American and French and British corrupt corporate media outlets are like nazi Germany media outlets they listen to the IDF military bullshit and say that true Palestinians land has billions of dollars in nature gas and oil and America like to overthrow government with resources CIA main job and Bush and Obama Clinton Biden trump policy causes the issue today in the world and for some reason Abbey Martin is calling a Jewish senator a war pig and Tulsa and JFK jr wants to destroyed the Palestinians children so they can't become Hamas terrorist and Zionist Israel bought America and most politicians we investigate those channels and issues because we learn from Assange uncle Joe is a puppet for Obama his third term and Obama now is bullshit America with the Palestinians issue and President Joe illegal immigrants policy is to keep wages down and destroy unions with cheap labor because Mexicans will take a job for less money than the minimum wage

Yes true, Abby has been working very hard for Palestine
Yes, i agree specifically through the Empire files
Brilliant discussion. Massive respect to both ladies for such an educated discussion
Thank you queens .. the fact that all the world talking about the palestinian case is giving me hope .. this is the first in history the world cares enough to study this case ..i have to thank social media and the independent podcasts such yours .. thank you again
Yeah....... people are taking notice because the other side are jews. Nobody gives a shit when it happens in Syria or Sudan, death figures much higher than Palestine btw. The israel government are horrendous and use residual war/ holocaust guilt to act as they please, but let's be very clear, there is anti-semitism at play here too. Hamas are not innocent just because they have a weaker military than Israel, they have shown an equally disgusting lack of respect for their citizen's lives.
two of the greatest minds on this subject, thank you guys for being who you are and working tirelessly to fight injustice and war crimes in our name...
America's biggest strategic blunder to aid Israel to massacres in Gaza.
Oh buddy, I can think of a lot larger strategic blunders the Empire has made in the course of its history. Fuck, I can think of bigger blunders effectuated during this brief Biden administration. (Still a year left, there's far further to fall)

Keep the good work going, someday only God can reward your works. Thank you! I hope people support you both financially as well s morally too.
Great stuff ladies...You guys are our heroes. I wish I had millions to fund these alternative news sources. It's been a long time since I watched CNN/FOX
Rania is exemplifying the difference between the political concepts that just looks at numbers and then justifies them and the actuality of seeing the mutilated bodies of innocent children. Again, the concept of "collateral damage" and experiencing the fact of collateral damage. We, as modern humans, live not in the world of actuality but in the mental world of concepts and ideas.
Are you justifying the loss of innocent Palestinian lives at the hands of Hamas who are using them as human shields by embedding themselves in and around populated areas? Under and near hospitals, schools and residential areas?

@@News2021-l7f People like you are crazy. If Hamas end up in a US airport, do you just say "well nothing we can do...I guess we have to bomb it"
"human shields" have NEVER been an excuse to justify the mass death of innocent civilians. If a robber is in a bank taking hostages, do you just bomb the bank? If a terrorist takes over a bus and plane and holds hostages....do you justify taking out the whole bus/plane? You are a psychopath...
Abby thank you for your hard work and raising awareness we greatly appreciate it
Wowza - I’m new to your channel and this is by far the best segment on the Palestinian/Israeli conflict that I’ve watched since October 7th. This coming from someone who watches the following respected shows every single day i.e. Redacted, Richard Medhurst, The Duran, Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris respectively, The Gray Zone, Katie Halper, Dan Cohen (Uncaptured Media), George Galloway, Scott and Doug, and even sometimes the likes of the Hill (Rising), Breaking Points and Kim Iverson this was probably the best show I’ve watched since. Absolutely love Rania Khalek and have been following her channel a while back now 👍🏻🔥

Lebanon is proof that two religions can exist in peace, Israel obviously doesn't like that which is another reason they want war with Lebanon. They don't like the fact that two major religions can exist mostly peacefully.
They want to take Lebanon and Jordan too now, their “promised land”.
Trust me, don't use Lebanon as an example.
This is coming from a Lebanese.
Multiple religions can definitely coexist. Bu don't use Lebanon as an example
@@nadBKgea why?
@@The_universal_cynicdo you have any idea what was going on in Lebanon from 1975 to 1990? Lol
@@KH-mn7bt Yes the Lebanese civil war. An Israel and America funded and supported the fascist wing of the Lebanese parties. But guess what? It's been relatively peaceful after that so please shut up. Stop talking about the past and start talking about now.
Thank you, Abby and Rania, and the rest of your people, for this extremely good, extremely deep and extremely detailed interview. For me, with a degree in War Studies from King's College London it is interesting to hear the numbers on the respective fronts, and it makes it easier to understand the dynamic of the conflict by realizing how much Hezbollah and the Lebanese are binding down of Israeli resources in terms of personnel and materiel.
The Genocide of Gaza is pure evil. But unlike the non-sensical "evil" people like Mike Pompeo and mainstream Western media are trying to make us believe in - the cartoonish portrayals of people like Vladimir Putin - it is an evil based on capitalism, on the profit motive. I think Jimmy Dore in his show accurately explains how U.S., UK and Israeli capitalists and their cronies in the governments of those countries, are after the natural gas, the fossil fuels off the coast of Gaza, and that this is the motive for the genocide, the death camp. Everything: the War in Ukraine, the blowing up of the Nordstream pipeline, that explosion in Lebanon and now the torturous extermination and displacement of the Palestinians of Gaza makes sense if you realize that they're doing it to make money. It doesn't make it any less evil. In fact, if anything quite the opposite. Madmen who torture and murder people like the Israelis are always and now doing, are in "civilized" countries judged along different parameters than those who commit these heinous crimes based on premeditation and "malice aforethought" as the English legal term goes. How can these evil people, who murder children - the Netanyahus and Bidens and Blinkens - stand to look themselves in the mirror? They have children of their own. How can they look at these images and still go to work enabling, planning and carrying out the genocide? And: "Why are these Satanic murderers allowed to go on?" as Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme put it (even though he, himself was a C.I.A. asset who was later deemed by the Reagan Administration and others to have gone sour) when he ennumerated the places whose names echo through the Ages of human malice, malice ultimately caused by capitalist greed: Song My, Treblinka, Sharpville, Sabra and Shatila (these two Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon)... and now Gaza, which he can't pronounce because he was murdered by the Apartheid South Africans at the behest of Reagan and the C.I.A. The answer is obvious: They are allowed to carry on, these Satanical murderers, because it is in the interest of capitalism that they should do so. The Nazi German holocausts were a money-making operation. More Jews died from maltreatment and bullets than they did from being gassed. Old people and children were gassed because they were improductive, the others were generally put to work. The Nazi Party in Germany worked for their capitalist elite. Which is EXACTLY what is happening now in Palestine: U.S., Israeli and European politicians are working for their capitalist masters to make them money by way of genocide. One of the few differences is that a higher proportion of the Israeli people support this genocide than did the Germans during another Nazi tyranny.
I just wanted to add, though I'm I suppose by modern "moral" standards not allowed to do so, that both of you are EXTREMELY beautiful. I hope that doesn't detract from the gravitas of my otherwise somber message. (This, last paragraph is the only thing I've edited in this text.)
Staying alive is an act of resistance.
Saving lives even moreso.

Thank you both for tying to inform us of what's going on in this horrible War of hate fueled by a 75 year old Apartheid State pressure cooker.

I just want to stop to thank you! To you both, to those around you that love and support you, to all those working behind the scenes, to all those supporting and commenting with love.
The collective trauma is so intense now, no one feeling it more acutely than the peoples of Gaza.
You all help to bring hope, when it feels hopeless; love when there seems so much hate; compassion in the midst of intense ugliness.
Powers are changing. That is a scary transition. None of us know how cowards will behave when they start loosing their security - and they are now exposed and finished!
But I can say that I stand with beautiful people who just want peace and goodness to prevail.
I am forever grateful for the comfort that you bring.
From Australia with love 💕
What a strong woman you are! Thank you for your work.
Both!
I'm retired now and I'm a bit of a geek. As time is fluid for me I am up at all sorts of times. I am universally shocked by American perceptions. It's like talking to mental patients living in their own mythical world. Just how can we combat the shear intolerance combined with the most profound ignorance. Part of this of course is to insist that all Shii'a are in lick stepand controlled by Iran
Great show ladies. Scotland UK 👁️🙏👁️.
You two are such powerful commentators. Rania your knowledge is super important to keep educating us. We need this dynamic of you both as historian journalist reporters. Huge impactful explanations. This program is why we must get this work funded, folks. The lived experience of Lebanon in the historical bigger power grabs on it, tracking this is your forte. I'm so sorry you must keep this insanity on your everyday mind. Thank you, Abby and Rania. Seriously imperative work.
