It’s time for average guys like me (an electrician), to say something about this tragedy. For my part, at our shop where we start the day with coffee, and a TV is on in the background with the morning news programs. When this subject comes up, I have started to casually comment to my coworkers, something like.”too many are being killed” or “Israel is being too rough on them”. It’s not much I realize. I am just an electrician, but someone should say something, if only to let those around them know, that something is going seriously wrong.
@pam7500 what? If this is what he can do, it's what he can do. Did you hear her at the beginning? She said something about "words." And using them. Whatever someone can or will do -- ill suck up-- because even people doing what they can possibly do isn't working.
This is why I support Mr. Hedges: no matter what, he never abandoned the Palestinians. No matter how hard it got, he persevered! He gave up his career, his fame, his income, but NEVER his conscience! When you lack a definition for humanity, just look at Chris Hedges!!! He has my respect for eternity!
If he had integrity he wouldn't be reciting verbatim the lexicon of the brainwashed. The education system in America is terrible ... you sort of hope that there are individuals that can step out from under it and formulate coherent thoughts that differ from the orthodoxy therein ... I used to think he was in that mould but unfortunately not in this case. Poor man must be skint and either looking for a job or has succumbed to being a paid parrot!
@@SchoohnessA Man Of INTEGRITY/HONESTY/FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OF MID-EST/ HE IS ONE OF THOSE HWO CAN WALK TALL VERY TALL AMONG HIS COMPATRIOTS HE IS A 👑. 🙏CRIS
Only evil would yap in disgust over the shining truth and integrity this man expresses. Only the moral could feel the emotions of inhumanity. They use their integrity towards the immoral in hopes one day they..can feel humanity.
Terrorists still convincing people they just want peace and that Israel hasn't been a nation for thousands of years, located in the exact same place as it is now? Indeed.
The benefit is that, The Resistance has awakened a sleeping world from ignorance... ignorance of the wolve (zionism) in sheep clothing (jews) destroying global values of equity and community 😊
Concern for Iranian foreign policy is not limited to its nuclear ambitions, but its proxy forces and alliances with violent groups across the Middle East. Since the Iranian revolution of 1979, when the Shah was overthrown and Ayatollah Khomeini returned to the country, the Iranian regime has sought to embed its influence across the region. To do this, Iran has countered conventional military forces with a network of associated militia groups and other non-state actors, starting with Hezbollah in Lebanon in the 1980s. The Islamic revolutionary guard corps (IRGC) Quds force has been key to this process. Regional instability and weak states in Lebanon (from the 1980s), Iraq (from 2003) and Yemen (from 2014) have allowed Iran to develop alliances with Hezbollah in Yemen, militia groups in Iraq and the Houthi group in Yemen. Iran has also supported President Assad in Syria, with the two countries being long-standing allies.

Chris was silent as a mouse on October 7 when grandmas and children were kidnapped and murdered in front of their families- grenades thrown in bomb shelters killing lefties that wanted peace w Palestinians. He actually cheered w laughter and joy. Now cry’s about the consequences. Typical terrorist lefty.

"Let us honour South Africa." Mr Hedges greatly warmed my South African heart. His precise, compelling speech was profound and almost spiritual, even poetic and priestly at times.
Start pulling the rug from underneath their feet... *Boycott:* Much simpler than trying to remember the long loooong lists of what _not_ to buy, and for whatever specific reasons, is to try and limit what one actually _does_ buy: *buy no-name brands from small companies (addresses usually on the labels), buy local foods (farmers markets), buy locally produced or handmade items, otherwise go slightly "over-regional," or buy fair trade wherever possible.* It is not a perfect strategy, but don't get sidelined by the whiners/finger pointers who will invariably ALWAYS show up like clockwork, trying to ridicule or nag with their dumb _"...duh but your using a smartphone, but your using oil toooo"-gotcha style_ distractions. It is not MEANT to be "perfect"... *Methodology:* JDI and make it a _longterm lifestyle,_ not just a short-term knee-jerk "trend," because of some or other upsetting event in the news. Just boycott ALL corporations, as far as personally convenient and possible, and always remember that even if only 75% of all the people on the planet only get it right about 75% of the time, on roughly 75% of everything they buy, it will finally make a massive difference for all the causes _you_ also value. Want to bring the boys home? Do you wish to limit military actions to becoming multinational, following the principles of international law only, and independent of any corporate "interests." Do you wish to contribute to end western imperialist actions and meddling all over the world? You wish to contribute a small share to forcing Israel into a negotiated peace process? Do you wish to give small companies a better chance in the dog-eat-dog capitalist world in your country? *Join BDS, because the international cross-border politically influencial rich and powerfull only REALLY start caring when their pockets start hurting.* Regardless of where you live, or how much money you have, just remember this: - You are not going to achieve change by voting in elections. - You are not going to achieve change by posting on social media. - You are not going to achieve change by debating on any plattform, real or virtual. - You are not going to achieve change by making use your "freedom of speech" in any way. - You are not going to achieve change by protesting in any possible way which will politically make a difference. *Here is what you can do, easily:* 1) Read Smedley-Butler/War is a Racket, a very short book (should be possible in a few hours) 2) realize that after around a 100 years, NOTHING has changed 3) start unravelling the connections between big business and Washington DC, by boycotting "big brands". 👍👋
It is your true good feelings @JoeBeThere but the American people have nothing to do with this evil. Do not blame yourself …. It is politics and hegemony of governments ❤
I fear it is the same terror the USA Britain and Germany are used to inflicting the past 350+ years: the mass murder of the indigenous, the enslavement of Africa, the Holocaust camps, the Nakba-but with the internet to let us see. And the brave reporters & photographers telling us in real time. The whole colonial-capital white supremacist system must be dismantled by humanity, it has never been so clearly sick & destructive, to our hearts and the planet.
Thankyou Chris Hedges. Journalism today is full of lies or omissions. The liers must be held accountable for there lies. Lies kill. Right now we have no consequences for these deadly lies. THE MSM AND OUR GOVERNMENTS are the biggest liers. New laws must be implemented. You cannot prove that a lie is true no matter how hard you try. And people that are telling lies always know they are doing so. 🙏🙏🙏
Mr Chris Hedges should be proud that he's not working with the new York newspaper which they are against humanity and freedom and democracy plus they are not telling the truth about what is happening in Gaza and West bank in Palestine ❤
History is repeating itself once again. I can still hear and now feel inside myself my grandfather's words about jews. His words were not pleasant to hear but certainly seems warranted to this day. If jews can live with no one but themselves >> then jews should experience the pain of isolation from the rest of the world community >> forever more.
This American did. Fantastic, but Mr. Hedges would repulse many Americans. He cast Trump (and everyone in alignment) as a looming terror at least not as bad as pure genocide. This blasted 100+ million people, many supporters of the US proxy Hedges campaigns against, in a time when the entire world is finally awakening to the truth. People need to be brought into discussions and educated and given appeals. Instead, he goes on about white supremacy. It cannot be understated how foolish that was, and the damage it does to this cause. This should've been an objective tour de force, free of editorial. He ironically spread fear and distrust. It's a shame the room warmly welcomed this, perhaps highlighting why they struggle to bring more light to their cause, particularly in the US. It's hard to sit down with people who see you as illegitimate, unreasonable, with no place in the civil world. Of all people and places, I didn't expect dogma here. This is not the way.
"I mean, there might be a public outcry for awhile... but then, you know what happens? People forget. They don't remember, they don't care. They just don't care.

Don't make it more of a tragedy..." - Hale - Bill Hale and Ernest Burkhart talking in jail... Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) It took 40 Years for the USA to sign on to the 1948 UN Genocide Convention... and it was the atrocities committed by the U.S. on the N. American Tribal Nations which fronted the delay. Ironically, in 1987, it was a Congressman from Delaware who finally signed on for the U.S... none other than now President Joseph Robinette Biden. If you tell a Lie often enough... it becomes Israel's.

One of the best speeches I have heard; raw, brutally honest and brave. I am so grateful to this man with courage and integrity. Very few have the moral courage to speak so honestly!!
Unfortunately, those who should really listen to this from the Left and the Right won't. many are so set with tunnel vision that I doubt they would make it through 15 minutes of this mind expanding heart wrenching , eye opening speech. But thanks to the internet more people can be reached today despite brainwashed masses not listening yet. Back in the Sixties when I went to night college after 40 hour work week we were a small group talking and discussion the horrors of Zionism - but that where it stayed. We can only hope that many more young people can do more nowadays with world wide communications.
minute 21:30, yes, but I don't think anyone outside the west will accept to be Palestinians again. the rest of the world is probably going to arm itself to the teeth if this genocide concludes with Israel getting off Scott free.@@kevintewey1157
Thank you for your courage to express your humanity and empathy towards the Palestinians despite the rejection that share your faith and collective history. May humanity win!
That's exactly how the anti- christ will come promise of peace and safety then comes sudden destruction, can't you guys see that prophecies of Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, zachararia, Revelation and many more are coming into place? For the great War?repent nations of the world, leaders of nations, religious leaders that don't know the way turn to Jesus cause the day is coming when all eyes shall behold him in all his glory and they shall gnash at their teeth cause they have rejected the one who was sent to save them from their adversary and deceiver Satan. Isreal turn to your messiah he came to save you and redeem you, his love is still extending to you though you,'ve rejected him but he is coming again repent and accept him as your savior and Lord.
Hamas are fascists so let's get that out there too. Don't be so high and mighty, there is plenty of blame to go around. Chris is a very disturbed man obsessed with power and don't let him fool you. He is coarse and crude and cold and all ego.

I'm currently reading Chris Hedges' book (War is a force that gives us meaning). I searched for related content and found this current lecture that reflects his human and ethical standpoint regarding the Zionest barbarian war against Gaza. I sincerely thank him and the organizers of the event for their efforts in supporting the Palestinian cause.
What an extraordinarily moving, knowledgeable and heart felt speech. The sense of a moral compass, one not wielded by the ego, is so very present. Thank you Chris Hedges. And to all the so many courageous people who recognise evil when they see it. And who do not back down.
It is sickening to think of the poor I N N O C E N T C H I L D R E N - shocks the conscience to the core. What kind of human can do this to an I N N O C E N T C H I L D? I S R A E L = S E A T O F S A T A N
He is evil. His prescription is worse than the disease. Just look at his buddies the former Soviet Union and Mao's China, 80 million murdered people later. He views the world only through power and under the delusion of being for peace, his ego rages and sadly you are buying it.

Thank you Chris, there are no words to describe how I am grateful and the free world to you, your wealth of knowledge and understanding of the current evil political system.. your effortless, empathy, compassion and honesty reporting on Gaza and Palestine give us the hope and energy to continue to support Palestine and expose the Axis of evil supporting the genocidal regime in Israel
I’ve never heard Chris this sorrowful - his heartache was so intense in his voice - It made me cry - for all the suffering of all the pain of all the senseless deaths It’s incomprehensible
I watched another of his talks just over a month ago perhaps, where he closes with a poem he wrote to The Gazan Child as he begs forgiveness for their plight (Israel's endless "mowing of the lawn") and what he believes is his inability to bring meaningful change to their plight. He wept through the reading, but managed to get to the end . It brought back memories of Chris Gunnes the former UNRWA Spokesperson who during a media briefing broke down completely and openly sobbed after another of Israel's campaigns on the Gaza Strip. It leaves us, the viewers sobbing as well, feeling utterly guilty for not being unable to stop what we see playing out before our very eyes. Many of us know, had this been WW2 that we would have been fighting on the side of the persecuted. This 360 degree turn from victim to persecutor which has been well documented since the exodus from Europe to Palestine, tears at the soul. It would be easy to believe humanity dead, but for the voices of Chris Hedges and his ilk. Thankfully, these voices have never waivered despite what has been thrown at them, including the loss of their jobs and security. History will reward them. May their voices carry for eternity.
@@ravenblack7052sadly there is no god to hold accountable the people who would had stood with the Nazis and now pretend to care about the Palestinians.
Thank you Ms. Mansour and Mr. Hedges for your resistance- we love you immensely for how you nourish our minds with explanations of this otherwise uncanny, inexplicable horror. Thank you, thank you, thank you- and to mediasancutary channel, thank you.
Where was the part that talks about releasing the babies and grandchildren hostages or the women hostages being raped daily. Yeah- I didn’t hear that either. Just another a typical leftist terrorist
God is with with Palestine. You must believe -- see him now, the world hears your cries, God has come with his 10,000s of Saints and they, THEY, are kicking the crap out of Lucifer as we speak, and the people of the world, the children of God are with you. The Holy Land will remain the Holy and named Palestine. My prayers are with you and all of you.
If he didn't talk so slow and kind of boring. I think everyone will be listening to what he has to say . Unfortunately most people are Too dumb or don't have the attention spans to listen to a long form discussion on real events. They can only handle ten minutes segment of silliness
@@godswatching2863 What does he have to say? That one claim of the right to exist is superior to another claim of the right to exist? Seems rather foolish to attempt to justify one side over the other.
What a speech!!! I am in tears because no one has articulated in words what’s happened and still happening in Gaza like this man. This speech will remain in my memory forever.

Thank you for using your use voice Mr.Hedges to bring awareness and light to what was happening in my little country of Kosovo. I pray this genocide in Palestine stops, no one deserves this. No one.

@@hornox4lifeI bought into everything, all the US/Israel white European talking points. If they lost me, they’ve lost everyone. I owned an Israel Baseball team cap.
Unfortunately, I doubt it. They will guide the narrative back to their talking points and rewrite history. We, the US, is powerless it seems. Too many Israel sympathizing Jews acting as foreign agents in positions of with a far reach. There is a sizable American Jewish population that is against it, which is encouraging. I just don’t see how we can change the course with this imbalance of power so deeply embedded. I hope I am wrong, but I doubt it.
Example … just look at Bill Ackman and hardcore supporters of Israel and their attack on Harvard University president. They were able to get a hearing with congress about some questionable antisemitism and also conflating it with clearly non antisemitic chants of free Palestine river to the sea. Didn’t take much, and it moved quickly. Now look at all the anti Palestinian crap going on, like real/actual attacks such as chemical attacks by two former IDF israeli soldiers on Columbia campus. Nothing has been done. No raising hell. No worry about hate on campus by Ackman. No congress hearings. Nothing. There is a foreign element causing havoc in our country, and it ain’t from south of the border.

@@desertari 🤣 Here is a laugh icon for your absurd and completely ineffectual defense of genocide. Before the Israeli assault on Gaza: There’s never been a war in history in which 80% of the country is decimated. Or 100% of the population has been displaced.

What a sick man. To compare war against in Gaza that takes also big number of civilian lives to genocide in Bosnia, Cambodia and Holocaust. He must be sick , vile man. Psychopat. Jews before and during Holocaust didn't wanted to kill all Germans or destroy Germany. They didn't do 7th of October to German. How sick and vile Chris for comparing war in Gaza where more than 10k Hamas terorists were killed to Holocaust or Cambodia genocide. Sick man that in bed with Hamas
Chris is such a coward. All his ever does is shed his liberal tears and tut tut but he's allergic to anyone doing anything that would actually address any of the problems he complains about (because any actual solution wouldn't be Liberal)

That this is the common human flaw that makes us ALL at risk of contributing to, of excusing, or of directly committing genocide. You HEARD him say this unequivocally in his address. Pay attention !

Many, MANY Americans despise what is happening in Gaza and to the Palestinian people! Unfortunately, it is a sad fate those of us in support face due to our media portraying it as though we support the deplorable things our government is doing. Two years ago, during Ramadan, Israel went into a Masjid in Gaza and started shooting while men, women, and children were praying. Literally on their hands and knees with their foreheads on the ground; yet no one did anything to help Palestinians. I said then, and I’ve said it ever since, what Israel is doing to Palestinians now is no different than what Hitler did then.

Thank you Chris for your brave , well spoken example. with the inspiration of voices like yours, Humanity can clearly identify the enemy, and no matter what it takes, WE MUST COME TOGETHER, BEYOND POLITICAL PARTY, NATIONALITY, & CLASS, AND TOGETHER, EXPEL ALL THESE BETRAYERS OF HUMANITY, IN POWER THAT CONDONE THIS, AND IGNORE THE HARD WON INTERNATIONAL GRNOCIDE LAWS, THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS. IF WE DO NOT ACHIEVE THIS, it is CLEAR TO ME, that these barbaric methods of "so called" "WAR", WILL BE USED ON ALL OF US, if this is NOT RESISTED WITH EVERY SHRED OF HUMANITY WE CAN MUSTER. WE SIMPLY MUST BOT ACCEPT THIS. WE MUST VE WILLING TO DEMONSTRATE With UTTER HUMILITY, the cynical, morally bankrupt inhumanity that is the FACE OF THE LEADERSHIP OF THE WEST WITH THE MASK PULLED OFF. IT IS BLATANT EVIL, THAT IF ALLOWED TO EXIST, WILL INFECT THE Victims LIKE RABIES, WHICH WILL QUICKLY TURN THEM INTO PERPETRATORS, WITH an exponential ESCALATION OF the virus, of violence. This will be the beginning of the real ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE , ISRAEL'S ONLY FUTURE IS AS A TRUE DEMOCRACY, NO JEWISH SUPREMACY. WE ARE ALL HUMAN AND BORN TO BE FREE.
Talk is cheap , How many Gaza's did he save ?, how many of 8 MILLIONS African children that die every career from hunger he saved ?, How many Syrians men women and children of the 600,000 that were massacred by Bashar did he save ? How many Ukrainians that died by Putin did he save ?, How many Israeli women and children did he save from slaughter by barbaric Hamas ? How many muslims did he save in Libya from death by Khadafi ? ...... I can fill TEN pages of more examples. The answer is ZERO and the reason is you don't get to promote yourself in America unless you invent lies about the Jews "who control all media in the US".
If raping young and old woman, behading babies in front of their parents, committing suicide bombings among civilians, launching thousands of rockets into civilian areas in the name of Allah & Muhamed is human in your eyes you can keep your humanity to yourself. All Islam has given to the world is death and terrorism.

Obviously the jews experience during ww2 was not horrible enough for them because they now feel entitled to commit these same atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza.

Chris is such a coward. All his ever does is shed his liberal tears and tut tut but he's allergic to anyone doing anything that would actually address any of the problems he complains about (because any actual solution wouldn't be Liberal).
As a survivor of the Bosnian genocide who was shot eleven times at age three and blow by a bomb. I have bullet fragments and shrapnel all throughout my body and major physical, mental and emotional medical issues. Nothing has triggered me like the Palestinian genocide. It’s a nightmare I can’t seem to wake up from. I HAVE HAD MORE MENTAL BREAKDOWNS IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS THAN I’VE HAD IN THE LAST 32 YEARS. My heart breaks for Palestine and its people. I hope and pray everyday that god ends this already cause those monsters clearly refuse to.
Chris Hedges' is but one point of view, based on axioms he himself has coined and, unfortunately, is shared by a globally noisy crowd. Thus, he may carry on lecturing until the cows come home but, "it ain't necessarily so". e.g. the talk of Israel as a ''colonial entity" is unadulterated rubbish. Israel was formed of REFUGEES from the Holocaust, then. post 1948 refugees from Arab countries of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco.
@@lamoitte1 Or really any of his other books... Pappe, like Hedges sees this phase of Israeli history as the last death throwers of a dying Z1oist project. It is done, the whole world sees. It is just a matter of time.
@@lamoitte1 Israel is not sanctioned by their god as the "Jews" are in exile. It was a military incursion by the Zionist thanks to Theodor Herzl and his cult members who manipulated the leaders of the West to sacrifice their Gentile citizens starting with WWI and ended with WWII and the creation of the State of Israel.
A tour du force that left me weeping. I grew up on L.I.& in 5th grade a big suburb was built in my town and filled with Jewish “refugees” from Queens, etc. My parents grew up in families very supportive of African-American struggles as was our American Baptist Church! And we watched every black & white TV news re Civil Rights Struggle. I still remember the horror we felt driving home from church when the car radio told us young African American girls had been blown up in their church. Of course, the horrors of Israel are on a far more massive scale today. When the Exodus film came out, a number of the Jewish boys in my school.started visiting “Israel”, and when they returned, they were saying nasty racist things about Palestinians - so I was fortunate to realize then that there was something rotten in Israel when I was in High School. But I didn’t realize how horrific that vicious entitled bigotry would manifest. When I was older, out of curiosity, I went to the Lafayette Park Rally for Israel’s 6 Day war, where I was horrified by the bloodthirsty bigotry freely expressed & by Robert Kennedy, Sr.’s unrestrained support of Israel, including his commitment to do his part in getting Fighter Jets to Israel - which I think is a major influence for RFK Jr’s psychology.
It's amazing how the right people are placed in our midst at the right time. Chris Hedges, you are one of those beautiful honest souls. Thank you for being who you are.
It is disgusting how bloody and heartless the US, Israel, and the whole world have been treating the powerless Palestinian civilians since 1948. I love how Chris Hedges explains everything in a calm manner. Also, he seems to have lived everywhere and met everyone.
You should probably mention how the Muslim brotherhood have used the Palestinians, sending hundreds of thousands of Muslims from neighbouring countries to become Palestinians and to fight Israel. They're using their shifting to weaken Israel. I'm sure you're aware of the fact that most Muslim children are raised too hate Jews. I'm in no way am Israel supporter by the way. I hate the way they operate and play the concentration camp card and then 1 hour later act like Nazis themselves. This is an oil and water situation. In Muslim majority countries Christians are constantly being threatened and harassed.
US gov is unfortunately so complicit in all this...and about 1/3 of the electorate regardless of what Israel says or does 100 percent back their actions...this shows that human compassion/empathy is evaporating before our very eyes I am an American from Chicago, and currently I am ashamed to call myself an American
Agreed, but Hedges is totally wrong when it comes to Israel. Most of clueless America has no idea what a brilliant country it is. They just listen to their biased news media, then go out and repeat the lies to the ignorant public of a country in decay

Many Blessings to you Chris Hedges. I've been listening to you whenever I find you speaking. I, like 10's of thousands of Americans, am very concerned for the people in Palestine, their suffering and pain. This government, the US government is responsible. We people can make a lot of noise in support of the people in Palestine, Yemen, and other countries in the world., who are dealing with war, brought on by the Men who profit from them. I'm consumed by the wars that have been raging my whole life and wonder, When Will There Be Peace on Earth ? When will men stop the destruction,?

The Zionist government of Israel is thoroughly exposed to the world community. They have no credibility whatsoever. ANY former respect it may have had has long evaporated.
Of all of the heroes who have ever lived, Chris Hedges will be known as one of the greatest. Imagine a world without any brave reporters like Chris. It would be a world of utter devastation.
Lordy, I've been waiting for Chris to speak on this, he hit every point I had been thinking, with a few embellishments, what an excellent commentary to give the world...when we need it most.
It’s time for average guys like me (an electrician), to say something about this tragedy. For my part, at our shop where we start the day with coffee, and a TV is on in the background with the morning news programs. When this subject comes up, I have started to casually comment to my coworkers, something like.”too many are being killed” or “Israel is being too rough on them”.
It’s not much I realize. I am just an electrician, but someone should say something, if only to let those around them know, that something is going seriously wrong.
Blah blah blah

*Boycott:* Much simpler than trying to remember the long loooong lists of what _not_ to buy, and for whatever specific reasons, is to try and limit what one actually _does_ buy: *buy no-name brands from small companies (addresses usually on the labels), buy local foods (farmers markets), buy locally produced or handmade items, otherwise go slightly "over-regional," or buy fair trade wherever possible.*
It is not a perfect strategy, but don't get sidelined by the whiners/finger pointers who will invariably ALWAYS show up like clockwork, trying to ridicule or nag with their dumb _"...duh but your using a smartphone, but your using oil toooo"-gotcha style_ distractions. It is not MEANT to be "perfect"...
*Methodology:* JDI and make it a _longterm lifestyle,_ not just a short-term knee-jerk "trend," because of some or other upsetting event in the news. Just boycott ALL corporations, as far as personally convenient and possible, and always remember that even if only 75% of all the people on the planet only get it right about 75% of the time, on roughly 75% of everything they buy, it will finally make a massive difference for all the causes _you_ also value. Want to bring the boys home? Do you wish to limit military actions to becoming multinational, following the principles of international law only, and independent of any corporate "interests." Do you wish to contribute to end western imperialist actions and meddling all over the world? You wish to contribute a small share to forcing Israel into a negotiated peace process? Do you wish to give small companies a better chance in the dog-eat-dog capitalist world in your country?

This blasted 100+ million people, many supporters of the US proxy Hedges campaigns against, in a time when the entire world is finally awakening to the truth. People need to be brought into discussions and educated and given appeals. Instead, he goes on about white supremacy.
It cannot be understated how foolish that was, and the damage it does to this cause. This should've been an objective tour de force, free of editorial. He ironically spread fear and distrust. It's a shame the room warmly welcomed this, perhaps highlighting why they struggle to bring more light to their cause, particularly in the US. It's hard to sit down with people who see you as illegitimate, unreasonable, with no place in the civil world. Of all people and places, I didn't expect dogma here. This is not the way.

Thank you Chris, there are no words to describe how I am grateful and the free world to you, your wealth of knowledge and understanding of the current evil political system.. your effortless, empathy, compassion and honesty reporting on Gaza and Palestine give us the hope and energy to continue to support Palestine and expose the Axis of evil supporting the genocidal regime in Israel
I’ve never heard Chris this sorrowful - his heartache was so intense in his voice - It made me cry - for all the suffering of all the pain of all the senseless deaths
It’s incomprehensible
You cry easily "truthaboveall". You also believe easily.
I watched another of his talks just over a month ago perhaps, where he closes with a poem he wrote to The Gazan Child as he begs forgiveness for their plight (Israel's endless "mowing of the lawn") and what he believes is his inability to bring meaningful change to their plight. He wept through the reading, but managed to get to the end . It brought back memories of Chris Gunnes the former UNRWA Spokesperson who during a media briefing broke down completely and openly sobbed after another of Israel's campaigns on the Gaza Strip. It leaves us, the viewers sobbing as well, feeling utterly guilty for not being unable to stop what we see playing out before our very eyes. Many of us know, had this been WW2 that we would have been fighting on the side of the persecuted. This 360 degree turn from victim to persecutor which has been well documented since the exodus from Europe to Palestine, tears at the soul. It would be easy to believe humanity dead, but for the voices of Chris Hedges and his ilk. Thankfully, these voices have never waivered despite what has been thrown at them, including the loss of their jobs and security. History will reward them. May their voices carry for eternity.
Israel... disgusting behaviour on mainly innocent people
@@ravenblack7052sadly there is no god to hold accountable the people who would had stood with the Nazis and now pretend to care about the Palestinians.

Thank you Ms. Mansour and Mr. Hedges for your resistance- we love you immensely for how you nourish our minds with explanations of this otherwise uncanny, inexplicable horror. Thank you, thank you, thank you- and to mediasancutary channel, thank you.
Where was the part that talks about releasing the babies and grandchildren hostages or the women hostages being raped daily. Yeah- I didn’t hear that either. Just another a typical leftist terrorist
God is with with Palestine. You must believe -- see him now, the world hears your cries, God has come with his 10,000s of Saints and they, THEY, are kicking the crap out of Lucifer as we speak, and the people of the world, the children of God are with you. The Holy Land will remain the Holy and named Palestine. My prayers are with you and all of you.

Concern for Iranian foreign policy is not limited to its nuclear ambitions, but its proxy forces and alliances with violent groups across the Middle East.
Since the Iranian revolution of 1979, when the Shah was overthrown and Ayatollah Khomeini returned to the country, the Iranian regime has sought to embed its influence across the region.
To do this, Iran has countered conventional military forces with a network of associated militia groups and other non-state actors, starting with Hezbollah in Lebanon in the 1980s. The Islamic revolutionary guard corps (IRGC) Quds force has been key to this process.
Regional instability and weak states in Lebanon (from the 1980s), Iraq (from 2003) and Yemen (from 2014) have allowed Iran to develop alliances with Hezbollah in Yemen, militia groups in Iraq and the Houthi group in Yemen. Iran has also supported President Assad in Syria, with the two countries being long-standing allies.

@@hornox4lifeI bought into everything, all the US/Israel white European talking points. If they lost me, they’ve lost everyone. I owned an Israel Baseball team cap.
Unfortunately, I doubt it. They will guide the narrative back to their talking points and rewrite history. We, the US, is powerless it seems. Too many Israel sympathizing Jews acting as foreign agents in positions of with a far reach. There is a sizable American Jewish population that is against it, which is encouraging. I just don’t see how we can change the course with this imbalance of power so deeply embedded.
I hope I am wrong, but I doubt it.
Example … just look at Bill Ackman and hardcore supporters of Israel and their attack on Harvard University president. They were able to get a hearing with congress about some questionable antisemitism and also conflating it with clearly non antisemitic chants of free Palestine river to the sea. Didn’t take much, and it moved quickly.
Now look at all the anti Palestinian crap going on, like real/actual attacks such as chemical attacks by two former IDF israeli soldiers on Columbia campus. Nothing has been done. No raising hell. No worry about hate on campus by Ackman. No congress hearings. Nothing.
There is a foreign element causing havoc in our country, and it ain’t from south of the border.
This was incredible. Thank goodness for writers like Chris Hedges.

u people are a minority remember that
Many, MANY Americans despise what is happening in Gaza and to the Palestinian people! Unfortunately, it is a sad fate those of us in support face due to our media portraying it as though we support the deplorable things our government is doing. Two years ago, during Ramadan, Israel went into a Masjid in Gaza and started shooting while men, women, and children were praying. Literally on their hands and knees with their foreheads on the ground; yet no one did anything to help Palestinians. I said then, and I’ve said it ever since, what Israel is doing to Palestinians now is no different than what Hitler did then.

How many Ukrainians that died by Putin did he save ?, How many Israeli women and children did he save from slaughter by barbaric Hamas ? How many muslims did he save in Libya from death by Khadafi ? ...... I can fill TEN pages of more examples.

Chris Hedges' is but one point of view, based on axioms he himself has coined and, unfortunately, is shared by a globally noisy crowd. Thus, he may carry on lecturing until the cows come home but, "it ain't necessarily so". e.g. the talk of Israel as a ''colonial entity" is unadulterated rubbish. Israel was formed of REFUGEES from the Holocaust, then. post 1948 refugees from Arab countries of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco.
@@lamoitte1 Ilan Pappe is another, maybe check his 10 Myths of Israel?
@@lamoitte1 Or really any of his other books... Pappe, like Hedges sees this phase of Israeli history as the last death throwers of a dying Z1oist project. It is done, the whole world sees. It is just a matter of time.
@@lamoitte1 Israel is not sanctioned by their god as the "Jews" are in exile. It was a military incursion by the Zionist thanks to Theodor Herzl and his cult members who manipulated the leaders of the West to sacrifice their Gentile citizens starting with WWI and ended with WWII and the creation of the State of Israel.
A tour du force that left me weeping. I grew up on L.I.& in 5th grade a big suburb was built in my town and filled with Jewish “refugees” from Queens, etc. My parents grew up in families very supportive of African-American struggles as was our American Baptist Church! And we watched every black & white TV news re Civil Rights Struggle. I still remember the horror we felt driving home from church when the car radio told us young African American girls had been blown up in their church. Of course, the horrors of Israel are on a far more massive scale today. When the Exodus film came out, a number of the Jewish boys in my school.started visiting “Israel”, and when they returned, they were saying nasty racist things about Palestinians - so I was fortunate to realize then that there was something rotten in Israel when I was in High School. But I didn’t realize how horrific that vicious entitled bigotry would manifest. When I was older, out of curiosity, I went to the Lafayette Park Rally for Israel’s 6 Day war, where I was horrified by the bloodthirsty bigotry freely expressed & by Robert Kennedy, Sr.’s unrestrained support of Israel, including his commitment to do his part in getting Fighter Jets to Israel - which I think is a major influence for RFK Jr’s psychology.

It is disgusting how bloody and heartless the US, Israel, and the whole world have been treating the powerless Palestinian civilians since 1948. I love how Chris Hedges explains everything in a calm manner. Also, he seems to have lived everywhere and met everyone.
You should probably mention how the Muslim brotherhood have used the Palestinians, sending hundreds of thousands of Muslims from neighbouring countries to become Palestinians and to fight Israel. They're using their shifting to weaken Israel. I'm sure you're aware of the fact that most Muslim children are raised too hate Jews.
I'm in no way am Israel supporter by the way. I hate the way they operate and play the concentration camp card and then 1 hour later act like Nazis themselves.

Huh hey
Brother Chris Hedges, is an international treasure and profoundly honorable human. God bless you.
Thanks Chris for your continuous precious enlightenment on Gaza
Our lives ends the Day we become silend about things that matters..
A very powerful speech. Thank you Chris 👍
What an amazing speech, thank you so much 🇵🇸
The rage i feel about this atrocity knows no bounds. Thank you Chris again for speaking the truth to power.
Dude- when are you moving to Gaza? So you can repeat Oct 7th over and over again. It’s your calling. I can tell. Hell- I’ll even buy you an antique Nazi ss uniform so you can dress to impress and show your devotion. Do it. Man up and grow a pair and stop whining. Be a doer not a talker. Just imagine how much fun you will have repeating October 7th over and over again in your shiny ss uniform.
Same. I’m peaceful, but this is too much.
The Zionist government of Israel is thoroughly exposed to the world community. They have no credibility whatsoever. ANY former respect it may have had has long evaporated.
Me too.
What truth. He compared war against Hamas, which already killed 10k Hamas militants to Holocaust or Cambodia genocide. Sick man. Absolutely vile man.
Of all of the heroes who have ever lived, Chris Hedges will be known as one of the greatest.
Imagine a world without any brave reporters like Chris. It would be a world of utter devastation.
Lordy, I've been waiting for Chris to speak on this, he hit every point I had been thinking, with a few embellishments, what an excellent commentary to give the world...when we need it most.
