5:34 pm
this year we witnessed a significant shift in public opinion across the world really when it comes to palestine fueled in large part by the violence and gaza war this past may. and after the show on monday, our conversation continued with rapper, low key and activist. linda sar sore. i started out by playing a statement from award winning musician john legend affirming the rights of palestinians to live in dignity to journalist matthew hassan. and then we discussed the role of celebrity and the growing movement. have a listen. when i see what's happening and past i to the palestinian people, were there clearly not being able to experience the full rights that they deserve? and a, it's an extremely unfair and difficult life. they're forced to live up. i had to say something is not fair is not just and given that israel is the recipient of so much american, an aide, and so poor and is named is what our strongest allies. we should hold them to
5:35 pm
a higher standard and what they're doing with the palestinian people is not fair and, and it shouldn't be done in a and in our name and with our resources contributing to it. loki, i mean, you know, as someone who, you know, also as an artist, makes music. i mean, you see someone like john legend, you know, say something that i guess it's not that bold and kind of inflammatory. and yet when i watched it live, i was kind of like what's happening is this really okay and you know, cuz it's so rare. and i wonder if you think that if there are more celebrities with their followings that speak kind of as directly as he does saying not only should we hold israel accountable, but to a higher standard. what, what do you make of that comment? but also is that useful in changing things? yes, it's useful, but also a product of what's about pressure growth always comes from the summer. you have the national union of students in this country that have a b b, s,
5:36 pm
pos to be the motion. you have the largest trade union in this country, united parts to be the motion in 2010. yeah, the leadership of the union are let yet to implement this by its membership being clear about why it's why once with celebrities, they are also receptive to that kind of push from below. and it's essential that that continues. and as you see more people within society, the more you will also see those within the public high speak out a bit more. israel obviously has 18 understanding of how to kind of this figure, the perception or b s through its proxy, that it has organizations not only in the u. s. this is organization that linda saw so knows all about the anti defamation league. in 1969, the f b, i had an internal memo. the question is whether the
5:37 pm
a d. l was in violation of the registration or foreign agents act because of how close it was. susie israeli government. and what you have seen really is it use this cover of racial justice to fight against b d. s to try this figure this them on to a palestinian rights as somehow being rooted in some form of racism. but you also have organizations in this country who closely work according to the trustees report of the board of deputies, right? organization put in its own report. it was closely with the israeli embassy that has strengthened links with the ministry of strategic affairs. and with the idea this organization is an, an and see yes, organizations. and clearly, unfortunately, within the media, a lot of these organizations are taken at face value, right? instead of that very sickly and linda, you know,
5:38 pm
he talked about being rooted in racism. i, you know, just to quote one small part of this article that i referenced in the live tv part of the show, roughly on the moon, talked that linda about how jewish attitudes on zionism are changing. he said, it's something that really struck me. i don't know, maybe it's just me zionism is rooted in trauma and fear. it's about survival and love of the jewish people. but like any other ethnic nationalism, zionism establishes a hierarchy. it's about prioritizing our safety and well being, even at the expense of others. it relies on an alternate historical narrative at a time when for 4 years we've struggled with all these alternative narratives and alternative fact center. i just think this is such a salient point because you know, change always comes back from within. so i've always wondered, even as a kid, when i saw this injustice and linda, i wonder your thoughts like is palestine or will there be liberation for palestinian people so long as this aspect of kind of zionism is not addressed.
5:39 pm
amongst jewish people, i know low keys made the point of distinction between how many people who are a jewish, who live in israel versus jewish people across the world, like 60000000 versus i think 6000000. how critical is this aspect of the argument to you? it's extremely critical in order for us to get true liberation and freedom in palestine and historic palestine. we need jewish people to be on board with that to understand that our liberation as ara people, as palestinian people, as jewish people is, is intertwined. and that one cannot be free without the other, and you cannot build a nation state that is supposed to promise safety and security for one people at the expense of another people. and when you had this conversation, i've had them with young people in college campuses across america, amongst jewish organizers, and even folks who say that they, they tell me all, i love israel, but i don't like what israel doing and i have these conversations with them. they
5:40 pm
to have been fed a long narrative and now they're at a place where they can't deny reality. so one, now you have organizations like best fellow who's calling israel and the part by 8 . you're having groups like human rights watch, put out reports of hundreds of pages, the why israel is in apartheid state. right. having more members of parliament in the u. k. and other european nations, including here, of course, in congress, calling israel apartheid a calling it ethnic cleansing is really starting to get to a point where a lot of our jewish allies and even those who are not, you know, super right wing zionist, but consider themselves to be what they call progress design is to say, wait a minute, i can't really put my name on this. yes, this is, this is a par side. this is not route what we support. that's why this, this conversation is important. then the reckoning is happening amongst a lot of these jewish organizations and pro israel organizations and really amongst their young people and. and that's what gives me hope. and when we talk about hope, we ought to wrap up in a couple seconds here located. but i want to come to you,
5:41 pm
you know, we've seen received it, please get reelected. here in the us, we saw omar get reelected despite all the things she said, you know, in support of palestine and critically of israel. betty mccollum, who introduced the bill condition, military aid every time you know, someone shows that actually you can do it in your political career, can be and relative to their districts. and you see labor delegates sparking a row in the u. k with the parties, leadership by demanding sanctions against israel for it's apartheid policies. i mean, do you think this really is a watershed moment where we're going to see more and more of this, or is it like 2 steps forward? one step back. unfortunately, the label caught c has a leadership which describes itself as a mom qualify a support zionism without qualification. you have it's funny. he's funded by trevor chin. who is an israel lobbyist? you know, in the united states, she, out of the democrats, given $10400000.00 per day. so the israeli state. so of course, these are massive,
5:42 pm
massive limitations that we're talking about. the palestinians will liberate themselves. of course, it would be helpful if the united states and britain consult collaborating in their suppression and oppression. and you know, the vital point at the end of the day. ready is for us here in the esper and in the rest of the world is the plant seats for trees that we might not sit in the shadow . because while they say that resistance is futile, we say no resistance is foot. so. now, sticking with that celebrity activism angle, i want to share a recent behind the scenes conversation between me. okay. and a panel of activists family wanted to know if they could pick one celebrity activists to work with. who would it be? not about this a lot and i think for i would be james bond that you know, i think of her as truly someone who embodies celebrity, that activism every time she has lent her voice. she's done it with truth and passion. i think about the way that she is rallying climate change. now in your
5:43 pm
promises didn't never buy another piece of clothing and go without them gets arrested and she just continues to use platform. so good. and so jane fonda would be my top choice. yeah, i was wondering how many pieces the clothing jane already has. i mean, she's probably already be both of us. i think i'd love to partner with to me actually, because i think it would be really amazing to partner with somebody, not so much experience and actual leadership in terms of leading the most important fights that we have today, which i completely agree. are the fights for our right to this on this planet, each and every one of us. so leading an anti racist policy, which is fully based environmentalism, fully based, and democracy in people actually learning to live together on this planet that we all share. i think he would be a fantastic high profile partner. thank you, lisa. my vote goes to i press to jane on the
5:44 pm
just say i would vote for i would come next. and lisa and then in africa, can pick a range of people. but angela could you from a friend of the same student that is a prima indications who religion and most powerfully the plane work for communications and media. that is a release fact against activism. and therefore, i think we have to recognize when we are talking about how to short time span to turn things around that re on. i will say that to be more creative to while we make sure that the celebrities don't go crazy on us. but we find ways in which we can draw energy and help them amplify the messages of justice. that because we need to do to a large audience, much will then be able to reach at the moment. you would be great if you have a celebrity that came into the room and actually could use their christmas to
5:45 pm
actually hold the audience where visionary leaders, who actually, you know, as you talk about you who are involved as accurate as nice as, as both of you are then could actually talk about what your own agenda would be for change as opposed to particularly launching certain kinds of products and supporting the agenda, which are based to these kind of celebrities that partnership, which is to try to bring certain items onto the customer or because they're more attractive folks who are like a big guy when it comes to that act, the show, right? because one of the things is as activists that constantly fighting against multi $1000000000.00 corporation. and then here you are putting activists against one another to fight for money. when we know when they're moving, we need to do is show us all the barry and to collaborate. so when it becomes that kind of education best, more entertainment, you know, entertainment that become dangerous. and i'm glad you show even when to go online,
5:46 pm
because it would really do more harm than good much. and you know, it wasn't that bad product. it's not going to help, but it wasn't that competitive element, however, like that. the one true thing about the activists, the fact that today is an actor, organizations have to compete for a little something. yeah, we're in the past are used to be much more regular funding from donors and now activists have to be able to have extremely photogenic beneficiaries. they have to have, you know, all sorts of reports and strategic outcomes. you know, at the level of harvard trained economist and then they also have to have celebrity . so you actually get to media space it attention. sounds like a terrible world to have to compete in. so guess i also have, well, i have one more ask of you and that is in this equation, not only do we have the important crises that we have to face as a global community. we also have people who want to do good, who want to help,
5:47 pm
and then not too sure what to do. what should they look out for? what are the warning signs? where should they? where should they volunteer? where should they contribute? what should they do? lisa, you have a lot of on says he does right. briefly thought yeah, yeah. if somebody's selling you something, you should be suspicious of that because we don't need more things. and 2nd of all, there are lots of things people can do to be involved. i mean, i would never say there's not such a thing as a need for an activist vol meant you can also celebrate basic things like paying your taxes, voting in politicians that are willing to support pen and you raise decision as a global health care. oh, absolutely. you know, i live in the social democrats state, but you know, it does work and remaking away here, katrina generation of change makers that you're not going to buy away into sustainable fashion future. you know, it's about buying less, buying better and really coming into activism,
5:48 pm
self we're having to retrain young people to call policy makers as we did for this bill to light up their own. and so there are plenty of ways in our organization really tries to make it inclusive and accessible, using your voice. your so much more and then people realize and cool. i just sort of say what i was doing in a work hasn't been inspirational to me. i hope many people listening to this will supported lisa. i endorse what she said. it needs last come in fear. i think that we need to create a context where there's enough space for everybody to participate. but we, we participate as equals and each of us might bring different skills to it. i might things, so these are planning some disobedience, some communication skills, and saw somebody else who's connected to the media because the celebrity might be able to open up space. now, yes, maybe the 1st interview, they go into it and on the own. but what stop celebrity from saying to
5:49 pm
a media outlet? i'm not going to do any interviews with you unless the 2 or 3 key people in this movement for this cause i would mean those interviews. so strategies can use it. they can use their voice to lift up the voices that need to be at the truth is we don't need to yet more and more voices of celebrities. but celebrities can you voice to help pick up other people's voices. and of course they going to have to use their own voice as well. i'm not saying they don't. but at the end of the day, i think today i would appeal to celebrities as human beings. but mostly as parents that to those celebrities, parents, you need to recognize that your children's lives and your grandchildren's lives as much as risk as our children's lives, and so on, right. and therefore, use your power of public presence in a responsible way, in
5:50 pm
a humble way, in a strategic way. and don't ever use that power in the way the grid, more consumption that we don't need all which actually elevates your own status and undermine the status of activists or thousands of people in northeastern india have been evicted in a controversial moved by the government. and it led to a conversation that our guests so we're ready to have and here's what that say after our broadcast. it was a dentist or it was in visit this door and they had been doing what the problem is . there is no gray area in between the bees. if he has said whatever they have said it's in black and white and they are green. what they have said and actually visit me is not. and if you read what i've done, they, well, what did he is and then what day? what the see i with my blog, it might, it might look broad hasn't become the other end. if you look at a, please, please,
5:51 pm
this is joy, it looks problematic. let's see why he thinks it looks problematic of the column. your point was us. yes. you see when the largest number of people are getting displeased because of the illusion, it is the government responsibly to, to have them here. they're not re headed to getting data. they are, you know, taking, taking over bliss lane and they don't banking data, they have not re eval david. do yeah. the evidence yet. it is not. yes. a, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're getting, we're going to get another perspective. maybe a voice of reason. i mean she's, you know, jury may be rightfully questioning about the evidence and you know, blue column says he has the evidence count stub. what is the motivation in your mind behind these evictions? and what is abdul callum writes when he says that there is evidence that they have
5:52 pm
not been properly rehabilitating families that have been made homeless. yeah, i mean, i would say that eviction has always been politically charged subject and it's been in fact, one of the main driver picks up and not only be guarding the muslims, but the tribe is versus one tribals. you know, the 1st eviction started with the tribals of some from the forest so that it should not, i would not just begin with the present with you, but she does a kind of a continuation of a narrative. so that means, i mean, the floor plan will go back again and again that there is that there is the floor plan policy. we don't have enough and record there's a lot of you know, complexities involved in that because of which it is a rehabilitation runs into trouble because of the said it would, you know, really agree that the, that the government has started on mission level will just agree to that, that, that this government has a intention, ah, you know, reforming the landlord and they have coming to enforcement of admission called
5:53 pm
lesson. that would be very difficult a i miss, i'm why he's on his dog getting the word. well, mostly the and the action has been done in the event during her during who has her handle. is there any way i one second do, are you there is jury. you asked cows to have a question, a constant, please respond to one. so then yeah, the, i do agree that the, there are different it at them at the recall mission you can say or change of land laws and this denise, the act and all that. but by convention is that they know it. that is where i should, we should focus again, is that you do so with nature of political economic to do with the nature of unquote development that the state is embarking on. right. and it did not
5:54 pm
necessarily be something very was it was something very welcoming, but this is the only real estate and the land disposition rate is benny. hi. and this is basically all belonging to says she didn't drives or she will or otherwise amenities. and this is something that is we are, we're missing all over, not yourself, india, where this new development, this is where you get it. is it a cast up? is it fair to at least accused that b, j. p of focusing or targeting? muslims have been golly, origin or do you disagree that that's not fair, dory. one second, please see, i mean, regarding this particular issue we feed, just reduce it to students are getting off of being wandering. mostly it will be alongside of your wifi, of course, but i, but of course i agree that it, what happens if you see it all, it can be as part of the larger agenda, right. that said the fund debate that said the funding. right. and,
5:55 pm
and obviously that's an amazing for another time, but during, that's what i was referring to about, about the trying to maybe maintain a majority. that is not muslim. ah, you know, in, in, in, not only the last election but also the previous elections and future elections. see these if he has not targeted doubles teams. as i have been telling that for the very beginning, it is a busy who has been actually in favor of the interest in years on this people. when we call him is in his office. people we have to look at the history of saw was, goes well back from to 1200. do you know, do i and then 6, b, c, because we, we, we, the us, i miss people might have forgotten about ducking vicki. i mean, people who have actually for the battle of killing, i don't know that since that that there has been a lot of immigration. and if you look at the origin of a sub, the most of culture has developed a within
5:56 pm

5:57 pm

5:58 pm
sharon. yes, deborah, every chance. well, non muslims are also also a getting evicted. but if you see that difference, please, please allow me to make this point and it did. if you see that difference, that difference is dead in case of muslims. you find dead this when election against muslims you will find it is, is caught me nearly thirst. you would see it be human edition. that's our show for today. thanks for watching and see you next. ah, lanita is approaching a tipping point in the lead up to the coff 26 climate summit al jazeera showcase is program dedicated to one veiling the reality of the climate emergency witness screen film documenting the human experience on the front line planet at the wet report from greenland on how the rapid rate of melting ice is having
