The Chris Hedges Report with cartoonist Joe Sacco about his iconic books Palestine and Footnotes in Gaza and how Israel's repeated slaughter of Palestinians in the past led to the current genocide.
The cartoonist Joe Sacco invented nonfiction graphic journalism, marrying rigorous and detailed reporting with illustrations that leap off the page and give his stories a texture, depth and power that is hard for most writers to match. He pioneered this work with nine issues on the Palestinians living under Israeli occupation from 1993 to 1995. The nine comics, later published as the book
It has passed the South African Apartheid Even Horizon already. This means Bilateral sanctions, blockades, etc., are inevitable as the Pariah state Implodes Rhodesia style in mere months & years.
This is the future that 'Israel' has chosen via its Wanton Genocide of Palestinians.
Would like to see the benchmarks. Hedges has been a supporter of Palestinian cause for a long time. Not sure why anyone would be against someone in media focusing on what is currently happening in order to help people get a better understanding of what is going on since the usual misinformation, propaganda and lobbying campaigns are in full force to keep people from seeing and understanding the truth.
In my view: IF you know a subject you keep on working on it!
Caitlin does the same BUT no people begrudge her comments like they do Chris Hedges or Matt Taibbi.
Being a journalist means KNOWING the History.
Frankly the American people should be ashamed of what they have done by NOT voting (look up the records of voting in the US) While you were 'happy' in your endless buying you forgot to vote!
Excellent interview by Hedges with the greatest historical cartoonist in America. But the word "cartoonist" is not broad or deep enough to describe Joe Sacco's unique type of artistic journalism. Perhaps "portraits of truth" would be closer to the impact of Sacco's work. It belongs in all the major museums of the world, and in every library, theatre, high school and university as required reading. His books are national treasures that should be featured prominently in the Smithsonian in Washington, DC! What do you think?
Thanks Chris and Joe. Just today Al Jazeera had a picture for your next political work of art. A teenaged boy in the West Bank was shot, wounded and tied by the feet and dragged behind a jeep, thrown in an alley and first aid blocked by IDF Nazi's, and left to bleed out! A hybrid nation of Apartheid/Jim Crow and a Master Race/Chosen People and Religious Zionist Eugenics! The other hideous picture in Gaza is 19 Palestinian men shot in the back after being stripped and searched! I can't believe my Canadian government supports this fascist government even when their Genocidal words of intent are OBVIOUS! Like in the US millions of LIBERALS are marching in the streets, while the leaders we elected tow the line for Zionist Fascism. Covered over by weasel words of disgusting regurgitated words of the most juvenile hasbara! Justin was elected because of his last name. His father Pierre Elliot Trudeau was demonized in the 60's and 70's because he was way ahead of his time said "the state has no business in the bedroom of the nation" over gay rights and archaic sex laws. He denounced Imperialism and US hegemony and spoke out against the Vietnam war. Going so far as to give sanctuary to US Conscientious Objectors smeared with the "Draft Dodger" label. People don't speak much about them now, but many many stayed and brought up families here. When he was in Buckingham Palace, he was caught clowning the pomp and circumstance gave a pirouette, about the phony clowns called King or Queen. Where are all the leaders with balls? Check out his quotes like " It is wonderful to be despised, if, deep down we know we are right". Those in power today cling to power even when they know they are wrong, and disguise it with lies!
do try to relieve yourself, sir contrarian, of your whiney, self-centred, brat-child puerility. hedges , as w/ everyone on this planet including you, can only advocate on behalf of a a limited number of the world's victims, and he can only fight a limited number of battles, lest he lose his effectiveness. slide off your contrarian saddle and fight the battles you align your bellicose persona w/ yourself. take charge of your own future. how shameful that you should expect hedges to fight your feckless battles for you. it is disgraceful that you do not take responsibility for those belligerent issues which are most meaningful to you. are you a child? hedges' most urgent work is now and rightly so, focussed on the helpless palestinians being slaughtered as i write. i importune you to do likewise. your cattywumpus values are those of a self-serving , runcible, pettifoggering fopdoodle. are you, or your helpless women and children being slaughtered as i write, as are the palestinians? are you being starved to death like the palestinians? denied food, water, power, and a safe haven in which to protect yourself and your family from the unrelenting zionist israeli bombs as are the palestinians? are you being deprived of your human rights as are the palestinians? is your home being bombed into rubble as are the helpless palestinians' homes? i suspect not. and if not, why don't you stop your folderol nescience and selfih balderdash. step up to the plate, and help hedges write about, lobby for, and advocate on behalf of the desperate palestinians whose survival needs are far more urgent than yours, sir contrarian.
"The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their numbers increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty?" ~ Bertrand Russell
Message to the Zionist Hagee Heretics who embrace the "Evangelical Christian" PERVERTED gospel of Christ, that in DIRECT OPPOSITION to Christ's Matthew 7:12 Commandment ("Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets."), SUPPORTS Israeli atrocities in Gaza, these words from Paul the Apostle APPLY:
Galatians Chapter 1
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
The U.S. Congress is, with a few exceptions, a stinking cesspool of special interest, the chief one now being the support of Israel in a project that bears an amazing resemblance to the pogroms, ethnic cleansing and genocide that the Jewish people endured throughout history.
For the past two decades, Chris Hedges gave us every indication that he'd be leading our fight against tyranny when the time came, but exactly the opposite has occurred ... Hedges now desperately clings to the Gaza and Assange stories to divert attention away from the battle here in the U.S. between the working class - his working class and the DS ... an unemployed, divorced mother of 4 never gives a thought to Gaza, Assange or CIA corruption, and Hedges knows it! ... but these are his "bread and butter" issues that protect his place in the independent media food chain ... he has chosen to double down on the ISR-PAL conflict instead ... he has now devoted more words to the plight of the Palestinians than he ever has about those of us who are being crushed by COVID tyranny here in America ... and he now seems hell bent on milking the Gaza genocide for all it's worth ... ya see, it's just too risky to stand with us ... and after urging us to confront tyranny for the past two decades, Hedges deserted us by throwing the working class under the bus with COVID ... he refused to stand with us against the illegal and unconstitutional mandates and passports, and deftly pushed the "safe & effective" narrative just 30 days after the explosive DEC 2, 2021 FDA FOIA release, and then rubbed our faces in it by openly admitting that he "does not trust Moderna or Phizer" ... there ARE things going on in the U.S. that may not be as urgent, but in a big picture sense are much more important to our survival than Gaza ... there are people out there like Hedges' friend Naomi Wolf, Karen Kingston and Dr Peter McCullough who are literally risking their lives to expose the truth while Hedges ignores the problems facing "his" working class here in the U.S. ... Hedges has actually sided with the globalists on the issues of climate change and vax-related bodily autonomy and has also called those of us who question the motives of our elected officials members of the lunatic fringe and conspiracy theorists ... these are not the lessons one learns at Harvard Divinity School ... something made this man flip!
If it were simply a bad lot of Israeli leaders & those in the U.S. who clamor for, are complicit in & commit the worst crimes against humanity then that would be terrible enough. For an overwhelming majority of the Israeli people to back such behavior is shocking enough. That so many others worldwide support the Zionist project, knowingly or not, or remain silent or look away indifferently to me is a warning for all that humanity is regressing very far very fast.
This series of graphics I made describe the Red Sea situation over the last couple of weeks and the ethically bankrupt US response to Sansallah courageous Suez Canal blocking activity in protest of Israeli IDF Genocide of Palestinians in Gaza:
I just read more evidence that the Zionists are SADISTS:
January 19, 2024 REPORT from Spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Ravina Shamdasani (who just visited Gaza): The IDF is even banning stone fruit from coming into Gaza! The IDF claims that "Israel is banning stone fruit because they can be used to plant trees."
IF THAT ISN'T PROOF OF GENOCIDAL STARVATION INTENT AGAINST PALESTINIANS, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS!!! Her UN Report includes interviews with Palestinian men who had been detained by IDF and just been released wearing ONLY DIAPERS in the cold. These men gave evidence of IDF brutal treatment. One man stated he had not been given access to a shower but once in 55 DAYS.
Thank You for all you do!
Palestine will be Free, & Zionism will end.
It has passed the South African Apartheid Even Horizon already. This means Bilateral sanctions, blockades, etc., are inevitable as the Pariah state Implodes Rhodesia style in mere months & years.
