Unpacking the 'Insane' Premise of Zionism, with Mehdi and Alana Hadid

Last week, Mehdi and Zeteo concluded our
five-city tour, so we obviously had to end with a special LIVE
taping of 'We're Not Kidding' and audience Q&A with returning
co-host Alana Hadid — an activist, designer, and Creative
Director of the Palestinian film company Watermelon
Pictures.

Mehdi and Alana also discuss Israel's now 20 month-long genocide
in Gaza and the worsening humanitarian conditions on the ground,
including the Israeli military's regular killings of Palestinians
seeking food at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid sites. The two
also speak about the recent ICE raids in Los Angeles and the
massive protests that erupted in response, Ted Cruz making the
US-Israel relationship "Instagram official" during his Tucker
Carlson interview, and the success of the documentary film 'The
Encampments' produced by Watermelon Pictures and Macklemore,
featuring now freed political prisoner Mahmoud Khalil.

Also be sure to check out the Q&A that begins 32 minutes into
the episode. Zeteo subscribers asked Mehdi and
Alana important questions about the weaponization of religion,
Israel's pinkwashing, and Benjamin Netanyahu's endgame — one
questioner even challenged Mehdi's own political views!
