“the state of Israel was not created for the salvation of the Jews; it was created for the salvation of the Western interests”
James Baldwin ‘79
I think so, it’s a shame.
BS that only a bigot can utter.
Sad that the extreme left normalizes this hate speech.
Usually Baldwin makes sense.
Exactly!! They didn’t want them in Europe or North America.
What I love is how the democrats call every one germans but really most of them want to get rid of the jewish folks.
People were furious when Norman Finkelstein compared this situation to Nat Turner's rebellion. It took something awful happening for the world to finally acknowledge the mistreatment of Palestinians by Israel.
Those that were furious were the same people that were descendants of colonizers in the US.
So the terrorists were right to do their massacre on oct 7th then? Plus take americans as hostages ? Plus hide behind their children and women folks as they cower in their tunnels. Will the real domestic terrorists please stand up!
Sadly a lot of people, including this network eg Joe Scarborough and company, will never understand that comparison or could care less
@@95brickhaus14even tho Joe is anti-Trump never forget he is a conservative
Nope, it was actually like Southern former Confederates (i.e., Palestinians) massacring blacks and Jews because they refuse to believe they lost a war and do not legally control their territory.
Activists should go to Palestine and volunteer as I did 15 years ago you can't deny the oppression of the Occupation.
Is it even possible to go to the West Bank or Gaza without Israeli permission?
@@IcarianXyou need their permission and I believe they are checking social media accounts now
@@xr2kidof course they are
Activists aren't the ones who need to see the brutality firsthand it's these liberals who want to reward the Kamala Harris administration for this genocide.
Saying "Trump will be worse" it's something to tell themselves so they don't ever have to hold Democrats responsible
Yes but the issue is that they’re now killing activists too. They’ve gone completely psychotic. The normal 4% of their society already left. It’s just complete sociopaths there now. God protect the Palestinians 😢
Now we know why Israel won't let journalists into palistine

We have known this for decades. It is not a new phenomenon.
And yet until now, very few people openly acknowledged or wrote about it.

Thank you, Ta-Nehisi Coates, for showing the truth - it's Apartheid and the US has spent billions of dollars to fund it.

Jimmy Carter isn't controversial. Ta-Nehisi Coates is. The books by both men are very worth reading.
Jimmy Carter’s was criticized by the powers that be. Thank good for social media. People see the oppression and murder now from this war on Palestinian civilians. This coverage of Coates book is unusual for this station that usually ignores an criticism of Israel.
Jewish Americans don’t need to align themselves with Israel or AIPAC. AIPAC has got to go. Who are they to tell us we can only have a representative that aligns with a foreign country first and put our American citizens concerns second. Dismantle AIPAC.
Then CAIR has to go too. Can’t dismantle one without dismantling the other.

Gaza has opened our minds and hearts.
No human will see how the Palestinian suffering and won't feel sick to his stomach, and I put two lines under human here
This dynamic was explored by the likes of Malcolm X and James Baldwin over 50 years ago.
And SNCC.
Read Baldwins “Open Letter to the Born Again”
And the USA hasn't learned anything since then.
the ignorant rot that is African American intellectuals continues
President Jimmy Carter literally wrote a book about Israeli Apartheid
Protect Ta-Nehisi Coates at all cost and we must all make a conscious effort to assure that "The Message" remains on the best sellers list for years to come. Because it is vital that the plight of the Palestinian people be told and the brutality of the Israeli regime must be exposed. We African Americans recognize this evil
I don't understand how you people live in the same reality. The real criminals are building military bases under hospitals & burning children alive. Muslims have full rights in Israel but people that are Jewish can't even live in Gaza
Historically, in Palestine, the Arabic word for “black person” is homonymous with the word for “slave” because, from the Palestinian view, there was no need to differentiate between the two.
@@seanhagan1435one of the first individuals to accept Islam was black, the one who perfected the call to prayer. So yeah keep up your lies and your support for occupation
@@seanhagan1435the Palestinian people have nothing to do with Arabs in other countries that have power but you got it...
@@RobertTrey-ov1lz What are you talking about, dude? The Palestinians were the slave owners until the British ended slavery after acquiring the region following World War I. Arabs typically castrated their Black African slaves, so the Palestinians never underwent a moral reckoning or had a civil rights movement for former enslaved Black Africans. Consequently, Palestinians still use the same language towards Black Africans because, again, they have never needed to distinguish between a Black person and a slave.
I'm a white, mildly right of centre, septuagenarian Christian. I've visited Israel often and have close acquaintances there. I cannot condone the blatant muders of massive numbers of childen and civilians being inflicted by Israeli forces in the occupied territories and in sovereign countries adjacent to Israel. If ANY other country did what Israel is doing, the US would be leading the call for global sanctions on it. 😢
We have blood on our hands..
really? so if America was being attacked like Israel has been, we would just surrender? yeah, we probably would, if you were in charge.
The occupier can’t complain about the resistance
But they always do
👏👏👏👏
Wow, MSNBC is really doing what news channels should do
PMSLSD and the vast majority of the media let Ta-Nehisi Coates spew a ONE Sided narrative without question. It's only when someone disagrees with the desired narrative that they get grilled endlessly.
That's a first 😢
The disingenuous interview he had to endure on CBS just amplified this inequality.
Thank you to MSNBC for giving him this platform.
Alex was the best person to do this interview, too.
What was disingenuous about it and how did it amplify inequality?
@@TeddyMonkathe interviewer basically calling him an extremist is one point.
@@Blackronin357 He called him “Extremist with a backbag”!!
@@Blackronin357
I watched the interview, and let’s be honest: it raised a legitimate question. Why is there an obsession with Israel, particularly considering it occupies the longest chapter in his book, while the other oppressive regimes in the region get a pass? The outrage is deafening when Israel is involved in a conflict, yet when Saudi Arabia-a U.S. ally-starves and slaughters over 400,000 Yemenis, the silence is almost eerie. You won’t see mass protests or calls for a ceasefire. You won’t see flags waving in solidarity for the Yemeni dead. When millions of Arabs are killed by other Arabs, the so-called human rights activists and Western moralists suddenly go mute. Why is that?
@@TeddyMonka maybe because they don't send billions and billions of dollars every year to Saudi while also giving diplomatic immunity every single time on UN.
Thank you to Mr. Coates for forcing MSNBC to allow criticism of Israel on the network.
Yes, he has brought these ideas into the American mainstream. Hopefully, this is just the start and people start talking about it more.
"The Arc of the Moral Universe Is Long, But It Bends Toward Justice", Martin Luther King Jr. Massive respect to Ta-Nehisi Coates for speaking out for Palestinian lives and voices. Also huge respect to Alex Wagner for an amazing and impartial interview. Far too many interviewers engage in their own biases especially in the US media when it comes to Israel's inhumane policies on Palestinians, as most of the US media tends to frame the conversation with a pro-israel bias. The current Israeli inhumane policies on Palestinians effectively stems from Zionism.
Rabid Zionism
Israel exists, why are you refering to Zionism? To mention it means you want to erase Israel as a nation ?
An eloquent, and yet historically inaccurate quote. No offense to Dr. King.
No apartheid has a right to exist, period; let alone a settler colonial apartheid. Blinken's tribal loyalty has already cost America it's hegemony.
It's not apartheid. I've been there and seen Muslims in university and having access to everything Israelis do.

Surprised NBC is even showing this. Notice they called it segregation in Palestine, not Israel, though. Ha.

That's absolutely true, there has been apartheid inequality in Israel for 76 years because at the very heart of this ongoing conflict is really racism, the continued stealing of more Palestinian land and know that terrorism is simply the scapegoat vehicle.

Yes. Stop watching American media. It's a house of mirrors, only representing a globe that America insists is out there, a world where American interests must dominate but are presented as unimpeachable and ethical. America is neck deep in intimidating other nations, pressuring them to serve American ends, ... the alternatives being warfare, embargo, or at the very minimum isolation. Know about the situation in the Middle East, particularly in Gaza, by paying attention to independent or non affiliated journalists. Owen Jones, Democracy Now, Al Jazeera... these are credible and astute analysts. There are many others. Look for them !
What a great critical thinker! Also a light for humanity..🙏🙏🙏🌺💠🥺💕😔
*Segregation "? Y'all spelled "U.S. backed apartheid" wrong...
“Apartheid” is just the Afrikaans word for “segregation.” The two words have the same meaning.
Another great interview, Alex. I got a copy of the book and it’s profound, I’m almost afraid to watch Coates get interviewed lest he be accused of being a Palestinian terrorist (like that Tony did on CBS) but as usual, you were respectful, and intelligent in your conversation.
When a topic can not be discussed and a point of view is not even represented, then you should know something is wrong.
Now there is another group of humans traumatized and enraged that we can’t heal.
THANK you !!
God Bless him for speaking out
For as long as I can remember, I have always heard "the occupied Palestinian territories," to the point where I thought that was the name of the country. I forgot that there are people living under that occupation all these years.

Good interview.
I love learning new views & ideas. Since 2018, I have researched the history, testimonials, & intersection with a lot of Christian's beliefs (including my family's). I was stunned out of my stupor by pictures & videos on Twitter AND how quickly they were removed.
As a military veteran, I was stunned and saddened while researching the US policies on Apartheid & G.enocide. I understood South Africans & the Irish support for Palestine. I never thought about Jim Crow. This gives me more to think about.
Have you noticed that a large number of Americans support Israel no matter what happens? Even those not Christian or Jewish. It seems baked into our culture.
I think we should support our allies, but I think that support should be restricted when they violate international law & commit atrocities. America is not going to look good to future generations. I am glad to see more people waking up.
Finally a voice for the Palestinians on msm!
Yes, but still not a Palestinan voice. And the lone Palestinan voice in Congress has been endlessly censored and smeared, including by her own party.
