The video of Refaat Alareer teaching the first class meeting of his poetry class is fantastic in so many ways as well as devastating because it contrasts the world’s tragic loss of him as a human being and a cultivator of humanity.
"You're not going to genocide your way out of this national liberation struggle." Thanks Jon (and Nora, Ali, Asa, Tamara, and the many contributors in Gaza and around the world) for those words and for the comfort of solidarity in community. I am so often floored by the strength of Palestinian voices from Gaza, the West Bank, and in the Diaspora who knowingly understand that they are the tip of the spear for a global reckoning between the colonized and colonizers, and who even sympathize with those of us who are in nations that back the war. A Yemeni spokesperson, speaking to the people of other Arab nations, expressed sympathy, saying that (I am paraphrasing) you are suffering because you cannot contribute, and we are happy in the face of US attacks because we know we are able to be in solidarity. He is right. To be able to be in integrity and live according to your value system is true liberation, and many of us do not have that even as we live away from the slaughter, in material comfort. I am grateful for the decades of dedication your team has shown for the Palestinian cause in the face of appalling and brutal global apathy. That commitment, the relationships, and deep knowledge from years of effort are what you share so generously now with so many of us now who thirst to understand. This genocide is a moment when alternative media has come into its own and become a beacon of truth. It is a heavy load and you bear it with grace. My deep gratitude.
Sending love to the people of Gaza and you wonderful people for telling the truth day in and day out. Nobody in English is breaking down the realities on the ground like you do.
@@liveontheverandah If Egypt, or any other country, air dropped help, Israel would consider it a violation of their air space and an act of war. They have threatened in the past to unleash their nukes of they feel they are losing their wars. Unfortunately, I don't see a positive outcome . The Israeli leadership has become completely unhinged and are openly talking about moving the Palestinians out of Palestine and "off the earth", which has been the aim of Zionism right from the beginning. The American administration shows no signs of seriously attempting to reign them in - even though Biden is losing support among voters because of this catastrophe. They seem to think voters will forget about it by the time the election rolls around. They don't seem to care that they stand a good chance of losing to an openly fascist Republican party.
80 years ago, on 27th January 1944, the Red Army broke through the blockade of Leningrad, that had been besieged by the Nazi - Wehrmacht for 900 days. More than 1.1 million people died in Leningrad due to the blockade, mostly due to starvation. After the liberation, Leningrad could again be supplied with food, medicine etc. And of course the Red Army finally liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp on 27th January 1945; as well as Germany, Europe and the world, of the scourge of fascism on 9th May 1945. - Thank you EI for your work and all the important information you give us and the world. Free Gaza! Free Palestine!
*Greetings from Andalucía where later this year we have elections to the European Union Parliament. I will be watching the candidates and those for an end to the genocide will get my vote.*
I’m shocked at the amount of vehicles that are about to be buried, of course they should have an investigation. 😳 I assume we can count every car in one picture, and it’s also a fair assumption that each car had one driver, I look forward to reading Asa’s article.
simply a continuation of the ongoing demonization of palestinians and by extension all colonized people fighting for liberation. i wasn’t around for the media blitz around the PLO but i hear it was very similar!
I'm a decades old fan of EI, from back when I just received your emails, although I am more of an individualist libertarian. But I could definitely listen to your conversations with Helena Cobban for hours and hours. So I just searched for her books and ordered her history of the PLO. I'm assuming it has plenty of information on Yassir Arafat. I have been unable to find a biography of him from any perspective! Anyway, I appreciate how well you are all able to get through each podcast without outbursts of tears and anger. But I feel it nonetheless. Thanks for all you do!
I’m a recent follower. Found your channel searching for interviews with analysts I’d found credible elsewhere. You’ve earned trust & follows through the great m care you take to report accurately; openly reference your sources, and differentiate honestly between facts & opinions/ unsubstantiated reports. As far as I’m concerned, trust is earned -continuously. I would have been the last person to take to “social media” for news, but the mainstream channels just dug their own graves. Commercial media has always been a joke, but now even the mainstream outlets that used to be pretty neutral have sold out. Another precious thing left to rot under the rubble of Gaza. (I’m in Australia, where our nationally funded broadcaster just got caught sacking a Palestinian journo for sharing facts!) Anyway, I agree, let ‘em talk trash. Given how fast the quality of their reporting has gone down the toilet, naming EI may just bring more disgruntled readers across!
My deepest condolences to Ahmed and his family. When I saw his post on Twitter about his brother's suffering and death I was deeply shaken. I am so sorry, Ahmed! May your brother rest in peace 🕯️💚🙏
I’m with Jon. I was a child in the sixties and I think that the Viet Cong was highly respected by everyone for both their tenacity and their ability to fight with limited resources. It wasn’t that that hurt morale, it was the deaths, imo. Whatever the case, I am generally bewildered by Israel in so many ways.
Thanks and Love u EI , Jon and Ali are excellent as always, what an informative analysis by Helena Cobban,looking forward to hear more Long live Resistance, Free Palestine 🇵🇸❤️
Thank you Asa for those clear words about October 7th and debunking the lies that the resistance targeted civilians or that it was a massacre rather then a strategic, skillful and well planned military operation!
I second this. It would be great if you could timestamp the different sections. A 2 hour video is a bit too much to wade through on a regular basis. Thanks. And thank you all for your work on this conflict. It has been exceptional - my go-to reference now for all news related to this conflict.
They separate the videos the day after the livestream so you can watch the individual segments. I'm catching up on the full podcast now, but I ate dessert first this morning with Jon's segment of jellybeans 🍉
thankyou for your courageous and genuine serious reporting on the real facts on the ground in Gaza and Israel as well as policy towards the same. Its so necessary in a world run by corporate media that is driven by a certain lobby's interest. the world needs your and other such alternative genuine media and journalism in a world of half truths and deflecting "reporting" that never once gets it right
I'm your new subscriber I'm unemployed now but I'm starting a new job next month. I can't wait to become a full member at The Electronic Intifada news. They can't silence the truth thank you guys for your amazing work.❤️🙏🇸🇴🇨🇦
Would writing a letter to the Washington Post highlighting the outlandish and false statements help; or even if it doesn't make a difference, is it still a good idea? I subscribe to the WaPo, but I don't always read it much lately because I am too busy reading news about Gaza from alternative sources. I am donating now. Sorry it couldn't be more, but I live on Social Security. Thank you for all your hard work!
It won't probably make any difference at all, they are slaves of their owners and publicity customers, as well as to the secret services, but a big wave of protest letters always hurts. So give it a try because why not? It's like the trial for genocide at The Hague: it won't almost certainly go anywhere (it's a kangaroo court of NATOstan) but it does cause discussion and shame anyhow.
"at least 70" They're really making that phrase do a lot of work. Honestly, how many cars do you think Hamas could have destroyed given that they were carrying a few RPGs and ak-47s?
Go to their website and click on the top right "donate" button, there are both "one time" and "monthly" options. As regular watcher and reader, thank you.
Wow, that WaPo article is a whopper. EI has always well sourced its coverage, did she not even check them? That’s disturbing. Her assertions have no basis.
Thank you guys, the Palestinian genocide deniers they start talking first about the holocaust and the 6 million jews died as a result, I think what they are trying to do is to establish a standard number so they can start talking about genocide, for this reason it's not surprising that US officials don't see any sign of genocide. On the other hand, maybe the Palestinian resistance could use the strategies of its enemy in its favor, the Hannibal directive (the killing of their own people to avoid prisoner exchange) and the Dahiya doctrine (the destruction of civilian infrastructure to put pressure on the enemy). Since Jon says the tunnels also run under Israel territory what if the Al Qassam brigades and the Islamic Jihad start to appear in some Israeli cities, destroy the water and energy systems, take hostages and control the hospitals, schools, churches, etc... not all at once but one at the time, the rest will be the job of the IDF, to destroy their own infrastructure and kill their own people, like raccoons killing racoons, their population will be leaving the cities, this move will divert the IDF from Gaza stopping the genocide.
2:06:50 the deer here in vancouver island seem to be able to communicate to each other to stay off the roads and what they can and can’t eat! they usually walk along the side of the road instead of on the road and seem to fully understand how dangerous roads are. they definitely have their own way of communicating, even if we don’t fully understand how!
thanks for the update guys :) unfort i slept thru live again stupid sleep paterns ps. i never bought the H demonizations as u might be able to tell from my decades old name :P
I'll be canceling my Washington Post subscription - thanks for shedding much needed light on this smear campaign - keep up the great journalism!
I cancelled mine along with NY times!
Sending you all a big big hug. Thank You for your integrity tenacity and humanity 🙏🏻♥️🇵🇸
How many resistance fighters did Israel capture as prisoners on Oct 7 great show as usual
hear hear. We love you Mrs Friedman and Max, etc
Yes thank you!
The video of Refaat Alareer teaching the first class meeting of his poetry class is fantastic in so many ways as well as devastating because it contrasts the world’s tragic loss of him as a human being and a cultivator of humanity.
Another fantastic live stream by EI. Keep doing this extremly important work.

The resistance is so inspiring. Such courage and resourcefullness.
But people are dying- how long can they go on?! They need help so badly- why doesn’t Egypt flood in help- air drop it- anything -

The Washington post article was ridiculous. It had virtually no substance.

*Greetings from Andalucía where later this year we have elections to the European Union Parliament. I will be watching the candidates and those for an end to the genocide will get my vote.*
Another excellent full report. Thank you all for your hard work, your time, and thank the creator for your big hearts.
Brilliant work! Please keep the high quality coverage going.
I patiently wait this podcast weekly. Please don’t stop
Helena was informative, thanks EI as always.
Thank you for a very informative discussion.

Much love + appreciation for each segment, they're all extremely valuable ✊
Thank you all for such a stellar work.
I agree with Ali. Hamas have never been given a chance. They were demonised from day one.

Thank you for sharing your jelly beans!!
Thank you Electronic Intafada.
In this terrible time, only the brave and true rise to oppose evil. Ei you are among the best of us. Kia kaha te Aroha nui
As always, wait for your video to appear. Thank you. I personally love your show even though it is very painful to watch. Very in depth discussion.

Inspiring & important work ! Thank you all !!!
please continue and increase the use of the phrase "indigenous people" because this will definitely have a stronger impact on your western audience
Thanks and Love u EI , Jon and Ali are excellent as always, what an informative analysis by Helena Cobban,looking forward to hear more
Long live Resistance, Free Palestine 🇵🇸❤️
Ahmed Masoud my respects and condolences for the loss of your brother, we will continue to strive for justice in his name.
Thank you for the (as usual) critically important content.
One word to describe Ms. Cobban: Brilliant! Please invite her back to the show when you (plural) get a chance; thank you!
Oh, much ❤ from Mogadishu, a fan of the show.
long live the resistance
Thank you Asa for those clear words about October 7th and debunking the lies that the resistance targeted civilians or that it was a massacre rather then a strategic, skillful and well planned military operation!
Thank you for healing out hearts with real news on palestine and their struggle for freedom .

You should sue the Washington Post!
I think it's difficult for public figures to sue for defamation and the Post will have squads of lawyers. But I agree -WaPo is reprehensible!
