Mehdi Hasan on The Majority Report (TMJ) w/ Sam Seder discuss "Israel's Reel Extremism," a documentary by Zateo. The film features interviews with Israeli soldiers and civilians expressing dehumanizing views towards Palestinians. It highlights how these attitudes are supported by influential figures and reflects the complicity of American media and political systems in supporting Israel’s actions.

• Israeli Government's Extremism: The conversation delves into the horrifying actions of the Israeli government, including the killing of children and maintaining torture camps. The speaker criticizes the Biden administration for not holding Israel accountable and highlights the diminished reporting from Gaza. The documentary focuses on presenting the war through the perspective of prominent Jewish voices, as reporting from Palestinian voices has been restricted.
• U.S. Support for Israel: The speaker discusses the unwavering support of U.S. politicians like Joe Biden for Israel, despite international criticism. This segment also explores Kamala Harris’s expected stance on Israel, referencing pro-Israel mega-donor Miriam Adelson's influence on Trump’s policies.
• Trump's Promises and Anti-Semitic Remarks: The discussion acknowledges Trump's fulfillment of promises to Israel but criticizes his anti-Semitic statements that conflate the pro-Israel lobby with Jewish people, which the speaker argues does not enhance Jewish safety and instead creates division.
• Comparisons and Election Implications: The conversation addresses the controversy surrounding comparisons of Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib to white supremacists. The speaker emphasizes the importance of Kamala Harris’s stance on conditioning aid to Israel as a strategic move to appeal to Democratic voters in the upcoming election.
• Polls and Legal Concerns: With polls showing Harris lagging in key states, conditioning aid to Israel is discussed as a potential strategy to win the election. The speaker mentions the legal concerns surrounding this approach but suggests Harris could use existing laws to justify her position.
• Escalating Violence: The discussion shifts to the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, criticizing both sides and the international community's ineffective response. The speaker expresses frustration with Biden’s handling of the situation and suggests that any divergence in Harris's approach could be beneficial.
