3:27Now PlayingThe Power of "The State": Who Gets Called a Prisoner vs. a Hostage
Hawk reflects on how power shapes language, perception, and truth — especially when it comes to war, media, and the state. Using the recent ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas as a lens, Hawk unpacks how the words “hostage” and “prisoner” reveal deeper power dynamics at play.
He explores how the Israeli government, backed by state authority, can frame Palestinians as “prisoners” rather than “hostages,” while non-state actors like Hamas are always described as holding “hostages.” Hawk questions what happens when the state defines morality and justice through language, and how this shapes public understanding of conflict, power, and media responsibility.
Through his signature mix of insight and sharp commentary, Hawk dives into how Israel, Netanyahu, and organizations like AIPAC influence not only American politics and policy but also the way news is reported and consumed. This discussion challenges viewers to think critically about the relationship between power, narrative, and the state’s ability to control both perception and vocabulary.
Hawk invites listeners to question not just what is being said — but who has the authority to say it.
