Palestinian journalist and foreign policy analyst Rula Jebreal joins The Left Hook to discuss the current "ceasefire deal" and how Israel's war on Gaza has destroyed chances for peace and security.
Excellent in-depth discussion—the situation is so complicated, and yet so simple. The genocide must stop. My heart hurts when I read or listen about what is happening in Gaza. I don’t believe this country will make things right. I’m hoping leaders in the rest of the world will finally decide to take some form of collective action to stop this.
The cease fire is set for Sunday, yet this attack was on Friday, There is still time to do a lot of killing on both sides before Sunday! I guess they wanted to get stuff done before the Sabbath….just stop the killing, period
Both sides? Please give us a break. 20,000 dead Palestinian children, children! How many had amputated limb without anesthesia and with dead parents? There no precedent in this century, literally, no precedent. We al should be ashamed our money is been used on one of the most vile war crimes of our lifetime. That's not me saying it, it's Jewish israeli genocide academics and the pope.
Thankyou Rula for your authentic voice of reason. Netanyahu is so vile and untrustworthy that "ceasefire" never means what it should. Great interview guest, Waj.
Yes, I've known all along that this was never about Hamas. It was an excuse to exterminate Palestinians and shame on anybody who says otherwise. Israel is committing genocide ... DOT PERIOD! Jews in the U.S. can't stand me, because I will NOT side with them and could care less if they call me antisemitic for knowing they are wrong, wrong, wrong. Did they not learn this from Nazi Germany? Give me a fucking break.
I'm ashamed of my own government and their shortsightedness. I think they're not telling Americans the truth about what that allegiance with Israel is made of. WHY? WHAT?
Sadly, The US cannot lead on this. They are equally complicit. As Meital Yaniv said, "Israel is the largest US military base in the world". Let's hope the world order can have some impact; Ireland, South Africa, Colombia. The US destruction of International law and order cannot be normalized. We all have work to do. Thank you for this wonderful interview.
As a world we are just watching unmoved because this may not be in my backyard (as yet). We have become desensitised to war and violence. But it is a matter of time that this war will affect of us and tangibly so!
Wajahat, I'm really sorry to said, but you are completely wrong in many points. The DNC despises Arabs/ Muslims/ Palestinians as much as MAGA. You don't have to take my word, you can see the actions and not their rhetoric: Not allowing a single Palestinian/ Arab to have a platform during the elections, lying about pressuring israel against the genocidal war, holding up weapons (Biden did the opposite!), I can go on and on. So to say Trump will allow israel to kill another 5k children doesn't make it qualitative "worst", it's all genocide. Like Rula said, the so-called left have dug it's own grave siding with the worst war crime of the century.

Biden is closing out his chaotic 4-year term, just as he started it.
Gaslighting about a fantasy of a ceasefire, just as he gaslighted about the strength of the Afghanistan government.
Pathetic and obvious...
I KNEW Bibi would fuck this up. He is PURE evil.
Biden, Blinken and the entire US cabinet are all war criminals. They are shameless partners-in-genocide.
And their complicity in the extermination of brown people is probably what cost Harris the election and gave us Trump 2. Thanks Joe. Good job.

Yeah both sides.
And by the way, this century is still young; there’s a lot more time to do a lot more killing; on all sides

Great conversation Waj and Rula.
