- The United States's support for Israel, usually at the expense of Palestine, has been unwavering - one of the most reliably bipartisan issues in US politics - with Republicans and Democrats standing with their Israeli allies through thick and thin.
But times are changing; as is the narrative. You can see it online, in print, as well as in the halls of Congress.
In this special episode of The Listening Post, Richard Gizbert travels across the US to examine some of the key moments that have revealed how the discourse on Israel is shifting.

Imagine being so evil you need to bring in laws to stop people criticising you
That's bad place to live in it but give me one law that says you can't say something about Israel
That's what the Noahide laws are about...So evil that if u disagree with one of them Lunatic's..Its off with your head..
@steve hyte Marx was another Jew who helped destroy Europe for the communist Masonic Jews.

lol
shame on CNN to shut down the voice of truth

911 = The world Knows
The only path to peace in Palestine is to wipe the slate clean and start over with an INDIGENOUS ONE-STATE with equal rights for ALL, including the RIGHT OF RETURN and REPARATIONS for Palestinians, not the fake two-state "solution" that Zionists like Finkelstein, Dershowitz, Netanyahu, Chomsky, Sanders and Amy Goodman push - that's just continued slow-motion genocide of Palestinians.
@Spring4030 Zxqa6519
It is everywhere
Noam Chomsky - the level of interference in the US democratic system of which Russia is accused pales into insignificance when considered against what Israel does, despite the current media hysteria about Moscow and US elections.
Everyone share this it needs to go viral. Strength in numbers.
PEACE THROUGH POWER!
911 Truth = The world knows .
14:50 A1PAC isn't losing power due to it being opposed nor due to Trump "obviating." Trump has made A1PAC all powerful and that is the reason it is being opposed.
People say that anti-Zionism is not anti-Judaism, but the vast majority of Jews say that they are the same - isn't it their right to define themselves? Look at the Chabad movement and Noahide laws. Brutal Zionism is actually the natural expression of Judaism. Israel, The Homeland of the Jews, is a brutal Jewish invasion.

By the way, ilhan didn't say anything anti Semitic at all, she just opposed right wing apartheid administration of Israel, that's all

Them getting stressed cos she is articulate , intelligent & she Black , way above Trumps level of education
Mr jujube Nancy Pelosi called out Omar for using anti Semitic tropes and Omar even apologized for the things that she said, like accusing US Jews of dual loyalty and saying how US support of Israel is because of money
@@michaelclasby6648 of course part of it because of money AIPAC pays lots of money to both parties, omar never said Jews that's a lie but said all those who get that money are corrupt which is blatantly true
@@michaelclasby6648 anti Israel is not anti semite
I think that "Anti-Semitism" charge is milked enough already. how about finding another charge ?
you proof anti Islamic point
especially when they ain't Semites , they can't speak original Hebrew & they don't come from Palestine ??
Anti-Antism 😂😂😂😂😂😂👟
how about not talking about Israel all the time?!
Agreed. So tired of hearing anti semitism this that every single freaking day. Basically just gives a free pass to Israel to do anything
Wow. *THIS* is real Journalism.

END AIPAC! END ALL LOBBYING! END THE PAYOFFS! THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO SHAKE THEIR POCKETS DEMANDING HOW TF THEY MAKE 100S OF MILLIONS, EVEN BILLIONS DOING A JOB THAT PAYS $300,000 A YEAR? TALK ABOUT PRICE GOUGING! SALARY GOUGING IS A THING TOO! OVERPAID CROOKS!

@Mr. Derp Wow, active member of the Trump Cult?
Rep. Omar is a true patriot, more American than the majority. ''In the age of information/technology, ignorance is a choice''.
@Mr. Derp You can believe rumors if you want, that's your choice. Get back to me when you have credible proofs though.
@Mr. Derp Reddit? haha your kidding me.... I don't see any credible proof, spent over an hour trying to finds credible proof and found none. Copy/paste a credible link/links on here, not reddit haha.
When you control the money your control the “Word”. Money of the root of all evil.
Capitalism is the undervaluation of everything except wealth.
*"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who make it's laws"* ~Meyer Amschel ROTHSCHILD (a JEW).
Being pro - Palestine doesn't make you anti - semetic.
@freedom fighter
Only Jews and Arabs are semitic.
@Linda Steckel
Former Israeli PM Golda Mier - born Golda MABOVITCH in Kiev - declared that for years, she resided in Palestine.
Weird, huh?
IS IT REAL? I'm very proud of these women as an American.
When Black is declared to be white not all will live in darkness!
I hope Americans continue to wake up to the truth like the rest of the world is already doing.
No human or group is exempt from criticism.
According to the jews they say they are the only exception to that rule.
When you control the “Word” you control everything. Control of the “Word” have gone too far.
Same stuff is happening in UK with Jeremy corbyn and anti-semitism. Amazing they are using exactly the same language, trope etc.
Nobody can criticize Israel!!
Ben Shapiro ‘s voice is so ANNOYINGGGGGG
Annoying is an understatement, it’s rather devilish and inciting.
He should stay off the helium. Then again, his cartoon voice only highlights his cartoonish personality.
It's like his voice stopped developing after age 9
Shapiro is a ZIONIST jew who believes in the Talmud.
That's why it frustrates me that alot of right-wingers don't see that Shapiro is Israel first and America last.
LOL, he thinks he is a smart kid.... he never answered my question and even blocked me . i asked him simply instead of giving an explanation of the definition of Anti-Semitic, why don't u define Semitic? and i dared him . simply chickened out, bcoz he knew that Arabic is Semitic and also Islam . and the Hebrew spoken now a days has one third of Yiddish. which means its not Semitic at all .
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer needs to go to bed. Am sick of them.
He is absolutely right “only when it is darkest can you see the stars”. I am an optimistic and I wholeheartedly believe that these difficult moments are only the beginning for people to wake up and see the truth and fight for the America that we want. An America that is fair, just and for everyone. I hope to see it all come to light in my life time.
They are not the Jews of the bible. They are converts.
This was an excellent episode of The Listening Post, nice work Richard!
To me as a Black South African man,Israel government resembles our Apartheid government.They always cry victim,but they're actually the perpetrators.
@@Linda43 Shooting of people throwing stones with bullets,force removal of people from their land,controlling of peoples movement and many more.That was the apartheid regime style of governing the oppressed.
Correct. Bulldozing their homes, pre-dawn raids in their villages (ie: townships), detaining people (including minors) without charge, the list goes on.....
The number of duel citizens (U.S. & Israel) who hold so many senior U.S. government positions is telling.
Dawn ! What a episode well done Richard ❤
Go back in history and see how Israel got the land were their living.
Let's see who was In Jerusalem after 3000 year's and who build it😉😉😉 lol.
The way Robert Gizbert looks at Lamont Hill in the formal interview at 17:00 is CLASSIC! "What are you saying???"
The US has to end its unconditional support for Israel, no matter what injustices it inflicts on the Palestinians.
There can only be peace when the US acts as an impartial mediator in the Middle East and not continue to
Support Israel when Israel commits acts of injustice, such as placing settlers on land that belongs to the
Palestinians, not the Israelis. Having been victims of the Holocaust, the Israelis of all people should not inflict
Injustices on other people of other races.
As for the lady talking about powerful lobbyists in the US, such as the oil and coal industry, she is right.
There has been so much talk about the climate but practically nothing in terms of action, because there is not the will
To deal with such a difficult problem.
5O years ago men walked on the Moon, a seemingly impossible challenge to achieve, but it was achieved because there
Was the will to do so. Today we have seemingly impossible environmental challenges to overcome. Maybe we can
Overcome them if the will to fix them is there, but there is no will, and frankly, I doubt that there ever will be the will.
The lobbyists in the US and elsewhere will ensure that will will never happen, much as I and others wish that it will.
All the credit goes to Al Jazeera and thank you Al Jazeera for bring this issue on.
When do we get to hear the story from the point of view of the Palestinians?
I'm encouraged by the majority of this comment section. Israel has become what they claim to have been persecuted by and the world is waking up to their rhetoric and disingenuous "victim" status.
A free Palestine from the river to the sea what’s with that anyone who wants to live in a peaceful country will not have a problem with that statement
Some time I love this world. Because off so many great human beings are struggling for the rights of the other human being. Big love to those who respect others and cear about ohter human being. God bless you all.
If you want to know who rules you, find out who are not allowed to criticize .
It will be very obvious, but the power to revolt is only in the hands of Americans
I dont understand why so many Americans say they believe in God but cant put revelations 2 verse 9 with what's going on. Why haven't the connection been made?
This problem runs so deep in American society....The educational system programs the exceptionalism of Israel, even over American interests.
To quote a song: The times, they are a changin'
The executioner's face is always well hidden.
I can't even tell you how refreshing this is. We start this conversation we make progress!!! Do not be afraid. Do not care what they call you. Wake up!
We ended apartheid in South Africa without ending South Africa, and we will end apartheid in Israel without ending Israel as well. Not only does being anti-Israel not mean being anti-Semitic, but being critical of Israel doesn't even mean being anti-Israel. It is the belief that Israel can and will do better that fuels the efforts to provide humanitarian feedback to prompt that internal evolution. Along the way, the US simply needs to stop making the situation there worse.
Being Pro Palestinian don't make one anti Israeli or anti Jewish religion. Broadening the definition of what is a anti semite really hurts Israel and gives the true haters room to hide. No group is beyond criticism in a country that believes in freedom of speech.
Praise and thanks Al Jazeera
This is really scary because Al Jazeera is more biased than CNN and CNN is lies, lies, lies, and fake news.
I hope for the sake of humanity in ten years from now and hopefully less the entire world will be saying "wtf were we thinking letting Israel get away with this for so long?"
Thanks for this informative documentary
Is there a shorter version for sharing on social media?
Thank you for reporting on this important HOT topic!!! Finally people are waking up and asking questions.
That old corny line ... ohh but remember the genocide😭
Me: Yes I remember those poor poor people of Rwanda😭😭
The generation has changed. We don't care about what happened in Europe before our parents were born just like you don't care the genocides of our generation.
In America, you can criticise God but you cannot criticise Israel."
Well, at least we're going places now.
Screw Lobby Groups, including AIPAC. I support Omar. Informative video.
How come ' it is all about the Benjamins ' is racist ... but ' go back in your country ' is not ...
Ihan Omar has nothing to apologize about how she responded to Senate Majority leader McCarthy. There a lot of Americans who agree with her but their voices are suppressed by the Israeli lobby in Congress and their allies. They are well funded to deflect any criticism of Israel and their apartheid policies towards the Palestinians which has been emboldened by previous US Presidents and US politicians who receive massive campaign contributions from pro-Zionist organizations whose members are very wealthy and influential in governments both US and Europe.
Israel image is crumbling. People from all parts of the world are aware of the facts on Palestine and the Palestinian rights to their home land. Freedom Palestine. Palestine 🇵🇸 freedom
"internalize all the landmines"
God will give justice
It's a pretty interesting report! I truly did appreciate it so much. Thanks a lot for sharing! Keep it up!
Lobbying is not democratic, it is bribery.
jfk was the sole president who truly stood up.
Sooo evil,they make laws aganist critics and questioning. Its exactly like the Firaun regime, Chinese regime now or Myanmar
When a Palestinian is hurt, I am a Palestinian. When an Israeli is attacked, I am an Israeli. When a Christian, a Muslim, a Jew or an Atheist are being subject to discrimination and violence, I am also one of them. Although the claim of boundaries and independence has no echo in the universe, I will always stand up with the oppressed people.
Critizing Israel is not antisemitic. Israel is ruling the Palestinians in a very unjust and illegal ways. What is worse it fails to protect the palestinians from the settlers
Whatttt?
What a stupid world we live in.
Excellent reporting indeed.
Imagine being such a victimized and oppressed people, that everyone has to walk on eggshells, watch everything they say and forbidden to speak basic known truths, or lose their jobs. That's not a victim.
Noura Erakat. Hats off
I don't understand is it illegal to boycott Israel or only under government contracts?
Thank you for you guts
Great piece .
By different kind of pact & treaty US brokers r trying to occupy the the rest of the Palestinian lands.
Thanks a lot for your great & true work in favour of Justice, humanity, democracy and rules of law.
KAMAL HOSSAIN,PARIS, France.
very interesting!
End lobbing. Period.
Amazing!!! Great work!!
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT SEMETIC. HENCE THE HURT.
طب سؤال ليش عنوان الفيديو بالعربي ؟! هلووووو ازا المقطع بالانجليزي لازم يكون العنوان بالإنجليزي
the word "trope" works both ways.
For those who support reason over religion in US my message is that, it is not the question of Israel not to exist, it is the question of Palestine to exist. Both side by side.
Mossad, please DOX me. I'll spill the beans and tell you all about my uncle Meir Dagan and my father from the Pale of Settlements. If that won't be enough I'll include Simon Perez (Szymon Perski)
Keep it up!
Is about time together we can talk about ISRAEL ....

Nothing stays the same it's just time
That one dude contradicted himself at the beginning. He censors himself so the outcome is we are not censored??
I hope Lamar is suing them
Lamont Hill, a great example of a decent, honest, just and highly moral human being. He knows his history and knows that if that was wrong then, it's most certainly wrong now. Good for him.
chan king the statement he made from the river to the sea is a statement used by the Arab countries as a statement we will remove every Jew from the river to the sea .. it’s understandable how people would be upset by this
So the old phoenix (AIPAC) is dying "as planned"..
Now
Whats the name of the new one coming out of its ashes?
Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar must pay a visit to both Israel and Palestine.
Real journalism. But look at the number of views, will people listen?
It is hard to lie to the world today!
So original and so surprising: Arabs against Israel.
Speak the truth
Youth of America take your country back.
"If the world leaders and Palestinians negotiate for peace in occupied Palestine, its ok for me too as long as its based on one man, one vote , one Palestine and that's non negotiable." Dr Ahmadinejad, 2005.
When you control the “Word” you control the money. Money is the root of all evil.
Love Al jeezera for this!!
All Ashkenaz jews should get out of Israel while there’s still time, TMHYah is about to regather his people, you know you’re from anywhere but Israel, GET OUT but don’t go to far because you’ve got some acknowledgment to do , bow down to the ones Yah love!
HalleluYah!
All praises to YAH!!👋👋
Criticizing Israel's apartheid regime, killing of innocent children, false flags, USS Liberty, 911 and illegal occupation of Palestine are all considered anti-Semitic!
For that you have to push Israel to withdraw occupation. If it is not seen on grass root level it will be fatal for all.
Good job my brothers and sisters from USA you guys finally get to see the Palestinian is not your enemy ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷from Iran
Can any human "let alone a moslem". See what Palestinians are going through? And dont condemn it?
