Campus Protests And More

·1 hr 30 min·5 clips

Glenn Greenwald says the attacks on the United States are tied to Palestine and U.S. policy in the Middle East.

The host opens the episode by saying this one is a little different. It is framed as a bonus episode instead of a standard historical lecture. Majid Hussain of the Islamic Vibes Podcast is the interviewer. The discussion runs long, and the host does most of the talking. Gaza is the main subject from the start. The episode also takes up the campus protests that have taken the news by storm recently in the United States. A new anti-Semitism bill comes into the conversation as well. The framing is openly political. The host treats the events in Gaza as part of a bigger pattern of U.S. involvement and influence. The discussion also questions whether the current posture actually benefits the United States. There is a steady focus on how American policy gets shaped and justified. The conversation draws a line between genocide and ethnic cleansing. That distinction is stated plainly and then carried through the rest of the argument. The interviewer adds his own view of the power of the Israel lobby. He connects that power to a network that includes political, religious, charitable, and Christian organizations. The exchange then widens into a broader discussion of why U.S. policy often stays in place across many issues. The tone stays earnest throughout. The host says the episode will be beneficial to listeners. The interview format leaves room to move past a single headline. It closes with thanks, blessings, and a request to share the show.
