YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOwen Jones and Mehdi Hasan discuss the ongoing misrepresentation of college protests in the mainstream media, the debate over genocide in Gaza, and the London mayoral elections. They discuss how college and antiwar protests have long been demonized to undermine public support for them, and how the term "genocide" is deliberately and conveniently mis-defined by supporters of Israel.
Plus, Mehdi takes us back in time to read Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 's letter from a Birmingham jail about the “white moderate,” and reflects on its relevance to modern-day politicians, particularly in light of recent comments made by President Joe Biden. Owen criticizes Biden's approach on all this, accusing him of fetishizing past struggles while vilifying current protests.
They also touch on the London mayoral elections and the challenges faced by Sadiq Khan, particularly in the context of his stance on issues like Gaza and Islamophobia.
‘Two Outspoken’ is a US-UK political conversation between two friends on the left, Owen Jones and Mehdi Hasan.
