'THIS Is Making Israel More Evil’

As Israel continues to starve Gaza, acclaimed Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha sits down with Mehdi Hasan to discuss. The Pulitzer Prize winner joins ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ days after yet another of his family members in Gaza, his cousin, was killed by Israel. And, just days after this was recorded, Abu Toha's father-in-law was killed as well, by shrapnel to the head.

Meanwhile, The New York Times issued a correction to an article about 18-month-old Zakaria al-Mutawaq, who suffers from severe malnutrition in Gaza and whose shocking emaciated image in the Times went viral. The statement clarified that “he also had pre-existing health problems.” Many online slammed the publication for their tone-deaf correction, but Abu Toha had a different take.

“That correction was not bad at all for me,” says Abu Toha. “This is telling us that even the people with diseases, who were born with genetic disorders, even these people are being starved and subjected to the Israeli-made malnutrition.”

Watch the full video to hear Abu Toha comment on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s threat to recognize Palestinian statehood, explain how he was targeted by Meta one day after winning the Pulitzer, how he believes we should react to many politicians and pundits now suddenly changing their tone on Israel, and hear the heartbreaking story of how having a disease might have saved the life of his sister in Gaza.
