Mehdi Unfiltered

Three years ago, the world was left stunned by Hamas's brutal and horrific surprise attack on Israel, in which the militant group killed over 1,000 Israelis and kidnapped over 250 people. Yet, as details emerged about warnings that went ignored and the military's slow response to the October 7 attack, many began to ask – how much of a surprise attack was this? In this 'Mehdi Unfiltered' interview, Mehdi asks Avi Melamed – who has served in various intelligence and counterterrorism positions for the Israeli government – some of the most crucial questions that have come out about Israel's apparent lack of preparation around the October 7 attack.

Genocidal wars framed as holy missions. Government agents shooting people on the streets. Robots that threaten extinction. Those scenarios should just be the plot of another end-of-the-world movie. Instead, it's the reality we're living in, as Zeteo contributor Naomi Klein and documentarian Astra Taylor, describe in their newest book, End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World. In this interview, Klein and Taylor join Mehdi to discuss how this reality is bringing us closer to the kind of doomsday we see in movies, and how the rich and powerful – and the systems that uphold them – are accelerating that destruction.

U.S. President Donald Trump's peace deal with Iran is hanging on by a thread, after the U.S. and Iran traded strikes against each other over the weekend. This comes as the old-guard, hawkish Democrats – including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer – have been voicing opposition to Trump's peace deal, despite the mounting toll of the war. So will this war ever end? Are the old-guard, hawkish Democrats dragging their feet now when it comes to stopping the war on Iran? And what do actual Iranian-Americans think of the deal? In this video, Mehdi interviews Yassamin Ansari – the first and only Iranian-American Democrat in Congress – who explains why she "hopes" this deal will mark the end of this war. She also discusses why some Democrats are trying to rally against the peace deal.
