UN official resigns over 'prima facie case of genocide' in Gaza

Craig Mokhiber, a former Director in the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and expert in international law, joins Max Blumenthal to explain why he resigned in protest of the United Nations' toothless approach to what he calls a "genocide" carried out by Israel against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Afshin Rattansi: Lies and deceit over Gaza bloodbath on October 7

From Going Underground:On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to the editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, Max Blumenthal, who joins us for a special interview. He describes a trail of ‘lies and deceit’ by the Israeli government and the Biden administration on what really happened in the Hamas ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ raid on October 7. He claims the evidence points to Israel killing its own civilians while attempting to stop Hamas from taking hostages, and accuses Israel of atrocity propaganda that has been regurgitated by Biden’s State Department to justify Israel’s genocidal destruction of Gaza, using Israel’s manipulation of ‘evidence’ which has been shown across TV screens in NATO nations. He also points to racist double standards in the US, UK and European media in their coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza.Read more at: The Grayzone This is a public episode.

Chris Hedges: What really happened on October 7th?

Max Blumenthal on The Chris Hedges Report:For all the sensationalism surrounding the events of Oct. 7, when Hamas broke through the Gaza fence and seized territory in the Gaza Envelope as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, there is still much that we do not know. The official Israeli death toll from the attack is estimated at 1,200 civilians, revised from an initial estimate of 1,400. Among this figure are several hundred civilians, which Israel says were killed by Hamas militants. Other testimony from survivors of Oct. 7 suggests an alternative explanation—that in its fervor to defeat Hamas, Israeli commanders may have willingly targeted and sacrificed Israeli soldiers and civilians in the crossfire. Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone joins The Chris Hedges Report for an in-depth look.Read the article on The Grayzone: What really happened on October 7? This is a public episode.

Grayzone Radio 14: Ukraine First, America Later Exclusive Grayzone report on East Palestine Ohio and Biden's trip to Ukraine Summary:Part 1: While Biden was too busy tending to Zelensky to visit Ohio, journalist Jeremy Loffredo took a series of trips to East Palestine to report on the chemical disaster and its impact on the towns residents for The Grayzone. Jeremys exclusive report contains extensive interviews with local residents and exposes of the private police and corporate front groups sent in to East Palestine to play the role of environmental monitors.Part 2: Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate demonstrate that Biden's tour of Ukraine was just a theatrical sham, down to the air raid sirens that blared as Biden first appeared with Zelensky. Take a listen.Part 3: While Biden was overseas, two of his top foreign policy advisors, NSC director Jake Sullivan and assistant secretary of state Samantha Power, attempted to answer rising concerns by Americans about the escalation of the Ukraine proxy war. They did so at a CNN-sponsored so called town hall that was sealed off from any antiwar elements that might have prevented a forceful challenge. Max discussed with Aaron the history of these CNN town halls and we presented another exchange between a top Biden ally and an actual antiwar protester.
