Wow! Coates had GREAT responses to those questions! I, for one, am going to follow his 20 second message and read the book. But unlike the co-host, I will read all three chapters.
Are we watching the same interview? He looked like a fool.
The interviewer did look like a fool@@ernestdoyle6937
Tony literally has his kids being raised in Israel. There is no way he’s could ever be objective on this issue or see anyone speaking facts about Palestinians right and statehood. Facts don’t care about your feelings, Tony. Let me go buy this book.
Can I ask why this conversation needed to be free of bias? That's impossible. Coates is an intelligent journalist. Why can't he handle hard hitting questions? He seemed to do just fine, no? It's the weird infantilization and anger that anyone could have a differing opinion that's a big yikes for me.
The is the first time I’ve seen Tony so aggressive to a guest. He is generally fair but somehow can’t see the humanity in Palestinians and the need to end the Apartheid system there, let alone the genocide currently happening
Instead of discussing the contents of the book Tony is just being hostile and arguing against his own beliefs
agree, I really got bad vibes from Tony today and I usually love them 3 as a team. But today, I have 2nd thoughts...
Because they don't see Palestinians as humans, plain and simple. They think it's ok to commit genocide and apartheid
He’s family lives in Israel lol
@@lakeshiasmith-harrell3819 He is generally “fair”, but when this issue comes up, his “fairness” goes out the window. He becomes combative, which is not a good look. This is about the third time I’ve seen him like this on this issue.
Tony, it’s not the existence of a Jewish state that offends me, Ta-Nehisi or any of us as African Americans….it is any state built upon apartheid and that’s something we will always guard against given our history. It is also not lost of us the ignorance of most YT Americans to these historical linkages. It’s also why it was South Africa that presented the case against Israel at the ICC. We know the horrific impacts apartheid and Jim Crow had on our countries, why would we ever condone the Israelis doing that to Palestinians?
Well, that segment was hijacked...
Coates really showed that the framing of the questions presented to him are largely based from the Jewish perspective.
I'm sure there was SO much more to discuss than JUST this area of the book
Incredibly disappointing to see how Tony’s line of questioning is so biased with his personal support of Israel. So unprofessional, this could have been such an informative interview about the book - CBS needs to do something about this
he was playing devils advocate
I mean, they stopped platforming extremism. This is the most relevant and courageous thing I've ever seen a morning show do.
@@mugsi66Nah. He was playing an AIPAC puppet.
CBS needs to something about this? This man may truly disagree with Israeli criticism but make no mistake ALL mainstream media is against Israeli criticism.
Tony Dokoupil should be removed as a host. This is not news coverage this is a hostile attack towards the guest because it goes against his own biases
@@cryterionYT I agree. He’s been doing that in his reporting since October. He’s clinging to the either or binary and conflating the desire for Palestinian people to freely exist with anti-semitism. This is what prevents meaningful and “heartful” dialogue.
He should be promoted to head of the division.
His kids live in Israel 🙄
The host not seeing the Palestinians are humans worthy and trying to justify apartheid is truly sickening. He should be removed. Shame on CBS
He said exactly the opposite. He asked why their agency wasn't mentioned in the book. Many people take a paternalistic view of people when they view them as "needing help." It sounded to me like this book about a difficult topic garnered difficult questions. These are two journalists trained to ask and answer tough questions. They even ended the interview in a good place, with the interviewer inviting him to high holidays that start this week. Part of Judaism and Jewish culture is "arguing" in order to learn. It's not about glossing over stuff, but having conversations with opposing views to learn and grow. And you shake hands and leave with respect for the other person, just as you entered the conversation. That's what I saw here.
I really appreciate Ta-Nehisi challenging the way the question was framed. A call for equality for Palestinians; a yearning for a cease fire in Gaza is not a claim that Israel has no right to exist. Of course it does. But equating any challenge of the status quo of Israeli policy with anti-Semitism is disingenuous.
BINGO!
Coates: *describes Israel’s atrocities.*
Media: why are you attacking Israel?
He left out any mention of October 7th, the reality of the Intifadas, "martyrs" families receiving pensions.
@ernestdoyle6937 and you left out european invasion of palestinian land.
Trying to debate against people who don’t see Palestinians as human will always feel so futile, especially ones who literally have their wives and children in Isn’t Real.
He was attacked, and this was incredibly unprofessional in the past of the interviewers.
Bias, not in this interview.
He was asked questions about a flawed work and he had no response.
@@ernestdoyle6937 He clearly had a quite dignified and reasonable response
Yessss, the people who sympathise most with the Palestinians are people who have a history with colonisation.The opressors hold up their colonial project and talk about its right to exist. Why should an ethno theocracy be praised as a bastion of anything good?
like SArabia or Iran
@@mugsi66 and Israel too. I'd also say that Saudi and Iran aren't ethno states. And no one respectable parades them as bastions of good human values or talk about how good and righteous it is that they exist.
Either apartheid is right or it's wrong. Also the journalistic "style" coming out of one household --of Mr. Dokoupil and Ms. Katy Tur -- is truly remarkable (in the worst way ever).
Bravo Ta Nehisi ❤❤❤
Let's gooooo Coates 👏👏👏👏👏
Tony was really disgraceful here.
I have to get this book. Shame on the interviewer who said why don’t you write about this and trying to put words in his mouth for putting attention on the genocide
The genocide of October 7th, right?
Right?
Very disgusting behavior from that one “reporter”. Using the same talking points people have used to justify apartheid in South Africa and the oppression of Black people in Jim Crow.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽answers by Ta-Nehisi….CBS you allowed this biased attack….shame on you!
“Countries don’t establish their right to exist thru rights….they do it through force” -very well said and any political scientist or theorist would agree. The most powerful nations today are those that have the greatest capacity to enforce and project their monopoly on the use of force.
Thanks for giving a voice to the unheard!
Tony has to be removed. Unbelievably unprofessional.
That interviewer really tried but THC met him point for point. He was basically called an extremist because he doesn’t think apartheid is ok? GTFOH!!!
I used to be a loyal viewer. Tony is why I am no longer. So disappointing. Gayle, Vlad, Nate… is this really what you want to put out into the world?
Kudos to my Howard University classmate.
This was fantastic to watch - excellent points by Ta-Nehisi Coates!
I will definitely be buying this one.
The guy in the blue suit the morning the news dropped that Israel attacked the US Liberty in 1967: Wow! Israel has the strongest soldiers on the planet, and they are so brave!!!
Tony was terribly rude to Ta-Nehisi. He may have claimed to read his book but clearly none of it sunk in.
Shame on the other two hosts for not standing up to him while Tony attacked him on live TV. I watched this in literal shock this morning, and then for Tony to laugh and tell him he’s still invited to some CBS party. Come on.
Na he raised an important problem with the book
@aaronstein8585 that it says apartheid is wrong?
They were all put to it by their handlers, the "red media".
@@aaronstein8585 I disagree, his book focuses on the people of Gaza because they are the oppressed people in this equation.
He and they did what their HANDLERS told them to do, be hostile to any rational thought process.
Getting this book because of this biased Tony!
This Tony dude needs to wake tf up. This was hard to watch.
One day, we will all learn that a government and its people are two different things.
Seems like there is a loyal test where American are asked to meet a threshold to a foreign state.
The foreign state being Palestine.
I mean the nerve of Tony calling him out on what he experienced with his own eyes. Sometimes it’s hard to admit the people he thinks are the victims of terrorist acts have now become the terrorists themselves.
I think Tony asks questions he believes that someone in his audience might ask. I don’t think Tony always asks questions based on his own beliefs and concerns. He asks the questions that he thinks someone else might want answered. This could be a very controversial book, so Tony anticipated the controversy and based his questions on that.
@@bzh7648 Do you think opposing segregation and apartheid is extremist? Those are Tony's words.
@@bzh7648 Yes I think you’re right about that. In this case it feels personal as he has 2 children who live there. I mean he has a point, but as Coates said most news media have always or typically sided with Israel. But with Netanyahu at the helm, the unbelievable suffering that they’ve inflicted on innocent children is staggering and even some Jewish people are denouncing it. How long do you let someone just unleash their rage on people who are bystanders until you say, enough! I mean they’ve killed aid workers and news reporters,etc. Newborn twins. A young girl still wearing her pink roller blades. How can that be justified?!
@@thomasavno. I don’t think that opposing segregation and apartheid is extremist. I can’t defend those comments that Tony made. I haven’t read the book, but it’s a reporters job to ask leading questions, not state opinions. I don’t fault his questions. Sometimes the staff should do a much better job of hiding their opinions. I still like to watch the show, but they aren’t unbiased.
@bzh7648 except he was stating his opinion, we was simply doing it via asking a question. It's a common tactic to implicitly espouse an opinion. It's also worth point out that Coates answered the question, and then Tony kept asking it again and again, completely overtaking the interview and not allowing time for either Nate or Gale to ask questions of their own
incredible interview
Great interview!
The host Tony Dokoupil has two kids living in Israel. His line of questioning was so unprofessional.
The host is like. "okay okay, it's apartheid but you never mention that maybe these people deserve apartheid.". Seriously?
Mr Coates is spot on. The interviewer should not be taken seriously
Excellent points Mr Coates.
Fully agreed! I was caught off guard by the CBS host asking him, a child of Black parents who were raised in Jim Crowe America, why he DOESN'T support Israel's segregationist, apartheid regime. Otherwise, I was glad Coates was able to speak the truth.
I agree. That was a great dialogue and discussion between Mr Coates and Tony. I'm more interested in the book now
I agree that apartheid is always wrong. It’s prejudice and discrimination based on genetics. You can’t make me believe that every person born of a specific race or ethnicity will automatically behave in a certain way. Hate, prejudice, and terrorism are not innate behaviors in the human species. They are learned. We’re not like baby ducks being hatched, already knowing how to swim. We learn most of our behaviors from our environment.
Violence and aggression are innate behaviors and without it you wouldn't exist
@@aaronstein8585Even in your Hebrew Scriptures, God says “and they will not learn war anymore” meaning that as bzh7648 says, hate and prejudice and terrorism are not innate, even according to our Creator. And many more people don’t exist because of these behaviors.
Make no mistakes, I’m only here for Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Why ask your guest the same question over and over again
Coats was shaken by the questions from Tony. He seemed to get emotional, probably because it’s very personal for him

many of you'all are knocking Tonys questions, that became the chunck of the conversation...but he was playing devils advocate...responding with a question many raised on the abundance of pro-Israeli marketing/media opines might have responded with...albeit with a more intelligent demeanor than any Israeli might.
no l doubt that based on his reaction to Coates anecdote about being interrogated about his religion in Israel
lol they shut him down asap
He just had no answers. He was given a chance to respond and he blew it.
@@ernestdoyle6937he answered every single question
@@ernestdoyle6937 What the hell are you even talking about. Coates answered every question they gave.
Tony asked great questions about Tanahesi Coates, why he just chose a side for his book
No he didn't. He called Coates an extremist for writing against segregation. Then asked why he, as the son of Black parents born into Jim Crowe America, why he doesn't support Israel's apartheid. Bizarre, biased, and unprofessional.
@@thomasavhe should be fired
I think Tony was right on. We need to question writers, and Coates got upset and didn't have a good response. Tony keep asking the tough questions. We need to question writers!
Tony said Coates is an extremist for writing about opposition to segregation. Are you a big fan of asking Black Americans why they won't support apartheid? LOL Jesus.
@@barbarawilson295 that’s interesting, I thought his response was well thought and very nuanced. He addressed why he thought Tony was having that reaction, and then explained why it’s important to recognize the suffering of the Palestinian people.
I second@@caitlynballard4447's take. What answers did you not find impressive, @barbarawilson295? And why?
We obviously also need to question those who profess to be journalists. Tony's question, and his earlier comments in the show about Hezbollah were not neutral or unbiased.
Nah man, you need to quesion yourself on why you are OK with the existence of apartheid ethnostates.
Thank you, Tony, for holding his feet to the fire. It’s nice to hear someone champion Israeli rights!!!
Just say you don’t actually know the history
Israel has all the power and has frequently unleashed terrorist attacks and devastation on all of its neighbors and the prisoners it keeps in Gaza and the West Bank. They are not "the most moral army in the world", they are a nation that couches every single action it takes as it being national security while they commit endless war crimes. Western media will always be combative to any who call for a free Palestine, those that argue for better conditions and self-determination for those stuck there, but we will not be silent. As MLK Jr said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
This is an embarrassing comment. Maybe read a history book, try Israeli historian Ilan Pappe
@@LittleYoki Seems like Tony did know the history and Coates didn't. It's why he had no reply.
@@ernestdoyle6937Tony only knows what he knows. His kids and x wife life is israle so he is biased. Try being Palestinian in the West Bank/Hebron and get back to me about is not being an apartheid state/country
