On the new episode of 'We're Not Kidding,' Mehdi is joined by
stand-up comedian, actor, and social justice advocate Amanda
Seales for an unfiltered conversation about Palestine, and the
cultural backlash for speaking out against genocide and U.S.
imperialism. Amanda, who has Palestinian family members, has been
a vocal proponent for Palestinian liberation over the last eight
months, at great professional cost. She and Mehdi discuss the
culture of fear in Hollywood - and the pressure on her own career
for speaking out on Gaza - and why the term "liberal" needs to be
redefined. They also talk about Jerry Seinfeld's recent
interventions on the Middle East - and whether George Costanza
would have been as problematic.

"I just think you're misusing the word 'liberal.' They're not
progressive. You know, 'liberal' at this point just means 'I'm
not okay with bad things as long as they don't inconvenience
me.'"
