My God, what a powerful interview.
Abby Martin does a fine job as interviewer.
Max Blumenthal is - I don't really like this much-used American term, but it is accurate here – “mind-blowing.”
Always calm, always careful in the words he chooses, and amazingly well-informed on details. I'm sure there are few American diplomats or scholars for the region who have an equal grasp of details.
And just in a careful, methodical recitation of the facts, what a powerful image he creates of what is actually going on, of the incredible bravery of Palestinians and of the genuine and increasing horrors of Israel's responses to their courage.
No wonder that YouTube has blocked this in 28 countries, YouTube of course being owned by Google which has become an integral part of American power establishment. Google's senior management is totally in what you might call the Hillary Clinton-Israel Lobby Camp.
A brave soul, Max Blumenthal. I am sure he is showered with hate mail and threats.
We receive so very little reportage, in “the West," from our corporate press about affairs in and around Israel. Just photo-ops and images of Netanyahu making speeches or threatening "terrorists.”
