Abby Martin on the right side of history. 🇵🇸 ❤
On the right side and on the beautiful side
you guys were great! thank you!
Mind Begs the Question:
- If policies of Starvation,Death Camps,Gas Chambers/White Phosphorus,Pogroms,Ethnic Cleansing,etc are repeated
- Doesn't amount to Holocaust?
@@HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings of course. Altough the literal meaning of the word holocaust is burning offer. As if the zionazi's knew what they were doing
not when it comes to Russia and the SMO.
Much love to Abby from a Palestinian American ❤️🫶🏼🇵🇸
Mind Begs the Question:
- If a States policies are
- Starvation,Death Camps,Pogroms,Gas Chambers/White Phosphorus,Ethnic Cleansing,etc
- Has the right to exist?
No state has the right to exist.
@@HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings It's the politicians. But the z, it's their society ( except some).
@@reesecane7878 Everybody has a right to exist except genocide perpetrators and supporters.
Everyone sing HAVA NA GILA NA NA
The irony is that the people of Israel are mad at Netanyahu for not prioritizing the return of the hostages. Not for carrying out a genocide. They still support that whole heartedly
Yeah interviews with Israelis on the streets are few and far between but you can absolutely get a sense of what goes on in their minds in those few clips I've seen. They are just some of the most unhinged and hateful people I've ever seen. So much anger and contempt in their hearts. It's just bizarre to watch. They are always bragging that they are different from the rest of humanity. Well, they are absolutely right on that.
The only media that's allowed is state run now!
Whoever is subscribing to this channel is living in a algorithm bubble...you simply are not exposed to other narratives. If Isreael is interested in genocide, why has the Palestinian population increased so dramatically over the past several decades?
Please go to the middle east, live there and then report back how you think women and gays are treated, for example. You will then be happy to visit Tel Aviv.
Great interview! Thank you both for your solidarity with Palestine.
Abby has been one of my favourite American Journalists for many years. Keep up the good work Abby.
A first for me. Wow where have I been? She's amazing. Now I must hear/watch everything she's got to say
Same..
@@aztea4uandmeshe's one of the absolute best. Check out The Empire Files
Likewise. Abby Martin and the Grayzone are my two favourites from the US for years.
@aztea4uandme,
--->TheEmpireFiles.
Much of her old work on Telesur is still online, but everything RT was ripped away in yt's 2022 1984-op.
Joe Rogan even removed all episodes featuring Abby on his channel, as he has done countless others.
Abby Martin is an icon in human rights, anti- colonial, anti imperialist advocacies. She is amazing.
@ednakidd1169 Abby Martin is the masterpiece of creation. Femininity in line with intelligence, competence, sensuality and empathy with the human race. She makes us believe in love and humans.
I'm 6 minutes in an yes, she's fantastic but have to say I'm finding Ash's love in hard to stomach.
HERO
An extremely superficial "judgement". Colonialism does A LOT of good to this day. (it founded the USA, for example..😉)
@@wolfsettgast4945 That's not a good thing. It committed a genocide against the indigenous people and put the rest in open air concentration camps and the US empire is now destroying the world.
Excellent questions, amazing guest. Thank you both.
This two women can’t help it but to be beautiful inside and out, thank you for standing with us, thank you for being our voice, thank you for standing for justice, thank you, because of people like you we don’t feel alone even with the pain, sadness and the grief 🫡🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷💜☮️💜☮️💜

I think so too!
We need more great journalists!❤

Brilliant interview! Thank you so much for adressing these issues with such honesty.
It is truly liberating.
I can describe in words how much I admire and love this woman. She was one of the woman that inspired me become a journalist my self. Keep up and never change Abby you are an important inspiring voice !
Love and respect 💜💜Abby Martin💜💜
From a Mexican American woman living in Chicago, U.S I thank you for having the great wise journalist Abby Martin.
Judging from what she said about Ukraine is is a propagandist, not journalist, when it comes to Putin. She tried to blame others for his warmongering and imperialism while being silent on Russian soldiers torturing, raping, and murdering Ukrainian civilians.
Abby martin is a hypocrite. She's a propagandist
Thank you, Ash! Thank you, Abby! Alameda County represent!
Utmost respect for Abby Martin. Always enjoyed watching Breaking the Set on RT.
I love this woman. Fearless and brutally honest
Great to see two great women speaking together! 💚🇮🇪💚🇵🇸💚🇿🇦💚
🇨🇦
I see 1 woman allowing the other repeat Russian propaganda when it comes to Ukraine. Abby tried to blame others for Putin's warmongering and imperialism while being silent on Russian soldiers torturing, raping, and murdering Ukrainian civilians. That isn't "great" in any sense except the sarcastic.
Thank you for giving Abby airtime. I've always respected her and her integrity.
She speaks against Trump's having won the election of 2016, would she have preferred Clinton winning that election?
❤️Highest respect to Abby Martin. She is the representative of good , bravery and what any decent human should be ! ❤❤
The first head of Natzo was the guy the planned Barbarossa the attack on Russia 1941. Hmmm
@@lesseirgpapers9245 Could you look at your sentence and make it make sense? I would like to know what you are trying to say here.
Abby is AMAZING. A true humanitarian 👏
As a 75-year-old American I have long lived in awe of the capabilities of the human species. From the Pyramids to the Space Telescope, I have been dumbfounded. Human capacity for unabashed butchery is a parallel and simultaneous trait that I will never understand. For most of my life I have noticed an incessant downward spiral in our capabilities, culminating in the butchery in Gaza. Ironically, I now feel like it is blessing to be an old man.
Sad, but many of the older folks do feel disgusted, appalled now. Want the good to prevail. For all.
Rubbish. It’s up to the elderly to go fix it. Commies at the door and you say, “Agh shame”?
Terrible.
The thirst for greed and power knows no bounds!!
Thanks Abbey, keep telling the truth . Best wishes and respect from the UK. X
Great interview 👍 Abby is fantastic. Critical thinking is fundamental and should be praised, not shut down ❤
Abby has been so incredibiley steadfast for human rights
She is a blessing to the nations
You need help. She worked for Putin for ages in case you didn't know.
@@RTC1655thats ok. Whats wrong with Putin? Hes a great president and his People love him.
@@RTC1655lol did you even listen to the interview? This take is embarrassing my friend. Have some self respect
Did you listen what she talked about? Any brain?
@@RTC1655 That was addressed in this interview that you obviously didn't watch.
Thanks from France, Abby Martin, people like you keep me from despairing of the human race.
Then you need to find better people. She repeated Russian lies in an attempt to cover for Putin's warmongering in Ukraine and distract from warcrimes including torture, rape, and murder of Ukrainian civilians.
My utmost respect for Abby Martin. She is intelligent, very brave and has a good heart. 😃👍
Omitting beautiful? She is the total package. Women like her, are far and few between.
@@FacelessSoulessHumanity Well, of course you are right with that. But today, it's better not to mention beautiness.
Queen, Abby Martin is the queen. She gives it to you straight and concisely! I am forever inspired by her passion and conviction! I too was radicalized during 9/11 and the subsequent wars that followed and I have dedicated every spare moment to trying to understand our foreign policies and how they affect the rest of the world. Abby has long been a source of information and enlightenment for me. Thank you for platforming her!
The world is in desperate need of more Abby Martins
Congratulations to both of you; brilliant. What a voice...
Thanks! Abby’s such a hero… and she says everything that most of us are thinking, loved this ❤
Had I known that journalists could be this honest and trustworthy, I wouldn’t have given up on my dream of becoming one
I'm a conservative and I love and respect Abby!
Great interview!
There is no such thing as a conservative. I'm not a betting man, but I'd say you are a good Christian?
How is that possible
Lmao what the fuck
@@Maximilian-Robespierre ... It is possible, because " Conservative " isn't just a synonym for Right-Wing Extremest, just as " Progressive " does not necessarily mean Left-Wing Extremist. Life ISN'T that black and white !
@@bobbart4198 You can't be called a concervative and follow radicals like Abby
This was an EXCELLENT interview. I could listen to these two talk about the world all day long.
Abby, always the voice of the voiceless!!🇵🇸❤️
Not only can I get cutting edge news from this excellent podcast - but I can also participate in a wonderful session of self-gratification! Everything all in one place!
So beautiful, fantastic voice, great thinking
Don’t EVER stop speaking truth to power, Abby!
You mean don’t ever stop speaking, bullshit.

Bravo Abby Martin for your candour and honesty.
I'm with you, I can't believe I just learned about Abby Martin just now. 😅 ❤. She restores my faith, in some capacity, to the fact that there are still some Americans that I still respect. Kudos to Chris Hedges as well. It certainly doesn't hurt that Abby is lovely and a courageous independent thinker. The Aspen Institute must be shaking like a leaf 🌿 in the wind!
Thanks a lot for this interview, thanks and love & respect for you both Ash and Abby. Your work will be remembered. Thanks for the inspiration and greetings from Germany!
Thanks for having Abby on your show she does great work. Sanctions for Israel. Justice for Palestine.
Well said🙏
Sanctions. Take away their cigarettes & smartphones. Ban them from Eurovision.
Mainstream media (since 9/11) has US military intelligence editing their stories. That story broke 20 years ago (if youre old enough to remember the mass number of journalists with integrity back then, quitting in protest).
I noticed she was pushing injustice for Ukraine. Supporting Palestinians faced with ethnic cleansing is Just. Supporting Russian efforts to commit atrocities on Ukrainians as well as lie about that Putin started the current war is the opposite of Justice.
A response to BDS!!!
I wasn't going to watch this but I'm glad I did as I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. My mother taught me as a young girl that if you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything! Your honesty is refreshing...
Abby Martin is sooo impressive. I salute her.
As a member of Spain's 15M protesters, I have always loved Abby Martin and her honest journalism.
You are the best abby. Thank you for all you do for the palestinians.
Thank you Abby for saying the truth and being on the right side. May God bless you.
Thank you Abby Martin and Ash Sarkar
Abby Martin tells the truth.
So refreshing to hear Abby tell the truth, give her philosophy & explain MSM. Bravo! Thank you!
Abby Martin - absolute icon.
ICON OF ANIMALISTINE TERRORIST ?

Of a propagandist repeating Putin's lies about Ukraine? I noticed she tried to blame others for Putin starting a war plus was silent when it came to Russian soldiers torturing, raping, and murdering Ukrainians.
Great work! Thanks to both of you!
Sad, israelies don't remember The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
Abby has been the most impactful voice on this issue.
Sure I came across her content sometimes but most impactful in which circles? Anyway, all appreciated even if all not holding the murderous empire back at all.
Thank you Ash for this interview with Abby Martin and putting corporate media into the proper perspective.
Thank you Abby for being a voice for reason and humanity
Hitting the nail squarely on the head. I applaud Abby’s voice and her courage. Thank you so much for sharing it.
The legendary Abby Martin 🤘😠🤘
Great interview. I have always loved Abby Martin.
Thank You for having Abby on this show.
Beautiful Abby 😍 telling the truth again 😊ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️ 👏 🙌
Repeating Russian lies about Ukraine is not "telling the truth". It is trying to excuse Putin's warmongering and imperialism while attempting to distract from Russian war crimes.
come talk to us at atheist republic - we show pro palestinian position is also pro israeli -bring liberalism to this people
Nah she was absolutely dead wrong about the so-called excursion of Crimea and Ukraine writ large by Russia as it turns out it was Russia attempting to protect both its borders and ethnic Russians from the Kyiv regime following a US/NATO-sanctioned coup. Yet Abby purports to be the voice for the victims of Fascist empires.
Abby is one hell of a no nonsense human. Her stance is spot on and she is a voice amongst too much noise, that is now more than ever, very badly needed.
Repeating Russian propaganda when it comes to Ukraine is pushing a lot of nonsense. She tried to blame others for Putin's warmongering and imperialism while being silent on Russian soldiers torturing, raping, and murdering Ukrainian civilians. That is the opposite of being "spot on".
It was so cool when she won her lawsuit against the State of Georgia.
"Her stance on the Ukraine Russia war is questionable, and straight out of the US Empire handbook." Ironic comment considering she is so light on criticism of Putin and avoids mentioning Russian warcrimes and Putin's Imperialism-the Imperialism that started the current war between Russia and Ukraine.
@@pplr1 ye sound like the mass media
@Censored-Comrade mass media speaking? Very gulllible dude, Russia were absolutely right, check your facts
I love Abby Martin. She's been doing this for a very long time. Speaking out against the war machine.
What an amazing team ....sheer brilliance
Ash Sarkar and Abby Martin. A dream interview. It's a shame that it's under such appalling circumstances.
Got a love these two good women 🙏🙏
Abby Martin just tried to excuse Putin's imperialism and warmongering. Not to mention distract from Russian soldiers torturing, raping, and murdering Ukrainian civilians. And she didn't get called on it. Now some interview hosts let a guest say anything no matter how dishonest. But that doesn't mean Abby Martin was not provided a chance to try to deceive viewers.
Very Special Lady. If 0.5% of the Human population had her courage, strength and decency, the world would be so much better. Thanks for the interview.
if 0.5% of Gaza had her courage, strength and decency, Hamas wouldn't be in power and Gaza would be a free and independent state with economic and political ties with Israel.
@@nathanarelisky4545 If 0.5% of Israel had her courage, strength and decency, Satanyahu wouldn't be in power and Israel would be a free and independent state with economic and political ties with a free Palestine.
She repeated Russian lies about Ukraine, tried to blame others for Putin's warmongering and imperialism, and was silent on Russian soldiers torturing, raping, and murdering Ukrainians. Not exactly a lot of decency to be had on her part.
She's a propagandist and a paid russian agent
@@pplr1 are you mad? Putin does not want to invade Europe one bit. If He did He would not last a day. We have no idea about the collective trauma because of WW2
show me real proof of War crimes by Russia. AFU are not a shinning light.
Abbey Martin is a gem ❤
thanks Abby Martin
Abby Martin is a legend!
Thank you Ash for inviting her. It is a great insight!
Thank you.
❤ I love Abby Martin,
I was in San Diego military base clinic at the same time you mentioned, I felt exactly the same way.
From an American Boricua living in the UK, I am thankful to have tha great Ash Sarker and the divine Abbey Martin featured in this video. Huge respect to you both xxx
Cops lie, it may not be about everything but it can be about anything.
Interesting insight into human conditions. Why limit it to cops? Politicians do. Journalists do. Content creators do. Is like I said, humans lie. Power, pride, greed, people lie. Even Ash. Even Abby. I'd be dishonest as well if I said I would trust or believe anything these two say.
She is absolutely right. Most Israeli people don’t care and want genocide. This is NOT just Bibi, it’s a collective mindset
"From the river to the sea" isn't an open advocacy for genocide though? I agree there should have been a ceasefire months ago. However, this bombing campaign didn't emerge from a vacuum. A massacre precipitated it.
It's only a matter of time before they can come after you.
I wonder why,maybe what happened in october? no,I must be wrong,what a silly idea.
@@aleksanderpetancic7977 no Oct 7 was a result of what happened before but everything that happened after is not a result of Oct 7, it is unprovoked genocide of a innocent,helpless and defenceless population and peacelovers and moderate muslims...
Have come to realise unfortunately that this is true.
Thanks for hosting Abby. Interesting to hear about her experiences with RT. Sad to hear what Israeli society has descended into.
It's great to see Ash invite the enlightening Abby Martin on the show to explain reality. Abby is a highly intelligent, insightful and proactive journalist bringing her eery, but true observation and analysis after having spent time in Palestine/Israel. I've been to the West Bank, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Tel Aviv & Haifa where the scary sight of witnessing the blockades of the IDF armed to the teeth along with the continuous trample of IDF soldiers around the Old town of Jerusalem shocked me to the very core. The sheer aggressive nature of the IDF has chilled my bones ever since my visit in 1995. Love Novara Media ✨
I love her passion . She's a true humanitarian ❤️
She is also very very beautiful

Maybe Boudica rather than Joan. I think Joan would be on the other side.
Yes
Stop genocide .
To stop genocide you need to stop HAMAS. Have you read their articles? I guess that makes you an Israel supporter.
Nothing in their doctrine required elimination of a people. HAMAS does.
Thank-you for this interview Ash.

Except she did just lie about Ukraine to cover for Putin's invasion of Ukraine and leave Putin's imperialism and warcrimes totally unmentioned.
Same here ! Algorithms are definitely not leftists!
She is ignorant
Love brave individuals standing up against this genocide
Brilliant guest! Thanks to you both ❤
Looking forward to Abby. This should be great.
I just watched her Piers Morgan debate with Emily Schrader, she should have had a much better response ready to go on Hamas... other than that she did pretty good. She should adopt Norman Finkelstein's approach to that question, it's essentially the same position that she has but expressed more soundly and coherent with added context. 🙂
When the top 3 Hamas officals' combined net worth is 11 billions dollar, and all of gaza is overrun by enormous networks of tunnels, while Gazans remain poor and vulnerable, it makes you think if any of the money makes it to the alleged humanitarian causes.
Gaza’s sky is black but Qatar is always sunny
@@itachiofthesharingan67 Hmm I wonder why Gazans are poor and vulnerable.
@itachiofthesharingan67 if that was true why haven't they seized their funds like they did with the Russians and taken them out in Qatar or wherever they are?
