YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“The US is addicted to forever wars.”
With a shaky US-Iran ceasefire agreement, unrelenting bombing in Lebanon, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza, it’s clear that US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are driving instability across the Middle East.
In this special Mehdi Unfiltered conversation, Mehdi Hasan is joined by leading scholars Noura Erakat and Narges Bajoghli to cut through the noise.
Speaking before a live audience in New York City, they unpack Israel’s war in Lebanon, divisions within the Iranian diaspora, and stark double standards in how war crimes are judged — from Gaza to Ukraine.
Their passion, eloquence, and fascinating insights were on full display, and they took questions from both Mehdi and the 500-strong audience at the SVA Theater in Manhattan.
