We’re joined by journalist Sharif Abdel Kouddous and filmmaker Kavitha Chekuru to discuss their new film The Night Won’t End: Biden’s War on Gaza. The film examines the lives of three families as they try to survive the continued assault on Gaza. Will and Felix discuss the film, the civilian toll of the war, the U.S. state departments continued obfuscation around civilian casualties, and the complete breakdown of international human rights law around the war.

The film is available in its entirety on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECFpW5zoFXA&ab_channel=AlJazeeraEnglish

Slops up! 🤙

Maybe not the best episode to say that

Ozzie

Fuck the IDF

Free Palestine Arm Iran

Goddamn the thing about hind saying she didn’t want to get the dress dirty just put me in tears. Fucking heartbreaking. I can’t imagine that being the last exchange with my own kid. Fucking a hell, man.

K H

Is this a sad one? I am not ready to lock in for that right now.

K H

Oh no

K H

Death to nazis

The Fine Art Revolution

The hatred I feel in my heart toward the very easily identifiable and trackable individuals responsible for this genocide, including members in the Biden administration who propagandize these utter lies, will not be quelled until their heads roll from their bodies. If there is a god, they will not die of old age.

Chris

Overwhelmingly

The Fine Art Revolution

Yeah, I’m taking a break on this episode for now. Need to sit with that on its own for awhile

NYCM&AHole

Like I knew it was horrible but details like that really tip you over the edge. Fucking horrific.

Ian H

Listening to this on headphones while splitting wood and bringing the axe down *really* fucking hard.

NYCM&AHole

Yeah and it’s okay if you aren’t ready for it. It’s really fucking heartbreaking, especially if you’re a parent.

K H

I just saw a girl(a child) and what was probably another child that was burned to death on IG. So was hoping for some haw haws. I think the trap is deep enough that between us we could run an Inglorious Bastards style operation. Brace may be the Bear Jew.

K H

Assholes live forever because god holds the demons to receive earthly judgement.

Isaac Suárez

Great episode. It’s stories like this that make, even an atheist like me, wish there was a god (if for no other reason than the expectation that Biden, Blinken, Miller, Kirby, Sullivan, McGurk, Austin, Netanyahu, Haggari, Gallant, Ben Gvir, Smotrich- and every hack journalist, soldier, intelligence official and bureaucrat who conducts this genocide- will rot in hell.) Who would’ve guessed that a media outlet sponsored by a Gulf Monarchy would put our supposedly “free press” to shame? Great interview and I send thanks to the journalists of Al Jazeera for keeping this slaughter in the headlines. Free Palestine. Fuck Israel. Fuck the IDF. Fuck Biden.

Gale [Formerly GDW] ♀

Following up episodes after having Seeking Derangements on with this is always a bit of whiplash. Thanks for covering this

Jessica Rios

Dude. SAME. I saw this description and I told my boyfriend that I’m just not in the headspace for it if it’s going to be crushing. Poor us, I know, but still. I hate the feeling of helplessness and nothing seems like it’s going to get any better.

K H

Hahaaaaa yep.

tanmantincan

What can you say except death to israel?

Jesse

That 28 minute mark solemn Felix voice just hits different

Jon

Damn

Jacob

Documentary is horrifying, important work but so difficult to watch

Jesse

The reason we all enjoy the nihilism is episodes like this

Ian H

Just finished the doc on youtube. My daughter is a little younger than Firas Al-Ghaf was. I can't get two bites into a sandwich these days without her toddling over saying "Daddy, bread" and I'm instantly tearing off pieces and handing them to her. It's such an instinctual drive, to give food to a kid that young. The part where Abdallah Al-Ghaf is pressing the date cookies into his dead son's hand because he doesn't have a mouth anymore made me fucking double over. It's the most horrible thing imaginable.

JD Nonce

It’s jarring to experience the anger toward and hatred for the people who are committing these crimes and the people who are allowing these crimes to be committed, then to have nothing to do with that energy so all you can do is just allow it to dissipate from your body. It really sucks

Nate

I hope Iran and Hezbollah send the IOF to hell

Jeemar

really good episode and incredible movie, we have all terribly failed the Palestinians

Torgeir Tannenwald

Yeah, I was crying my eyes out throughout this one. Dont know if I can bear watching the documentary but I'll try. Thanks for making me cry at work like an asshole, guys

Alexandr

The thing that really makes me happy is that Will's intentional fucking-up of his mic to troll the fans so that EvErY wOrD SoUnDs LiKe ThIs takes precedence over the seriousness of the subject matter. You could've made this listenable and you chose not to, Will. It's appreciated.

Mr Tu Damn Quoque

Same. I tried telling my partner about the dress and absolutely broke down

Mr Tu Damn Quoque

There's no way I can even finish the episode, much less watch the documentary. I might go and watch some Jon Elmer analysis of red triangles videos to make myself feel a bit better

Mr Tu Damn Quoque

I had to turn it off at thet point. Too fucking much.

Hilary is Pant-suited Syphilis

I can’t listen to Matt Miller speak without having the urge to throw up. Just a stream of lies from the most reptilian spokes person of a demonic regime.

Gage

Gage

I will never condemn anything Mena does to Israel, or the west.

Scott Miller

Episodes like this really make me miss Matt. He always had a unique perspective on hope, even with something as horrifying as this.

Gubriel

I work with kids every day. Their heads are intact, no blood in their mouths, and the walls dont cave in with missiles. They go home safe every day. And it feels so fucking crazy! That's the way it should be! Who could fire tank shells at kids!

Michael

You seem well

Gage

Not sure how anyone is supposed to be well right now.

Robert Armstrong

Yes, but at least it can inform you without watching the doc, which I’m not sure I can manage.

Comrade Trash Panda

It should be a rallying cry to stop the endless reaction to particular crises and instead redirect that energy and outrage into the formation of a non-electoral political party aimed at overcoming the present system. There will and have been thousands of Gazas at this point. Reacting to each and everyone as if they aren't connected is draining the political will to do the necessary thing to end this cycle once and for all. I have yet to see even an inch taken in this direction. I'm afraid we are doomed to be passive witnesses to the continued cycle of atrocity.

Queermunist

Thank fucking God for DemocracyNow! The single solitary news media source in the West worth a damn has been proving it's worth every single day of this conflict. I'm convinced the blue-no-matter-who crowd are simply not paying attention. No human could listen to Hind and convince themselves this is the lesser evil.

Alexandr

Already have earlier this month, my guy. Sad it took so long to do. I've been a listener since early 2017 and was subscribed since.

Gage

You underestimate these people's ability to simply believe Palestinians are less human. They're anointed by god, after all.

Gage

I remember listening to the recording a few months ago and having a very intense breakdown.

Ardy Rezv

On the most important issue of 2024 Biden and Trump are the exact same. If Trump was president though maybe a lot of the lib non Zionist morons would be pro ceasefire. Israel would prefer Trump and the republicans and biden and the limp dick dems still bend over for Israel. Shows you who really runs this country. If you vote for either major party in 2024 you’re part of the problem.

Dang

This is patently false; Trump will give Israel everything they want and more. The limped dick shit we're seeing now will be nothing.

Ardy Rezv

My brother. What more could we give them? They’re committing a genocide right now. Also what about my point that the resistant dumbasses would be pro ceasefire if this was trumps war and not bidnes war?

b-rar

What does a "non-electoral political party" do, in practice?

T

I hope Israel develops an Israel-sized sinkhole. I hope Matt Miller goes caving in Nutty Putty. Thanks for this episode.

T

Teach me how to be this autistic

Queermunist

Blue MAGA are mostly secular, they don't even hide their beliefs behind god.

Katie

Great interview, thank you for boosting the Fault Lines documentary.

NYCM&AHole

I can’t see his face without wondering if he’d have the same smirk on it when he goes in front of the firing squad

Jonathan Szerszen

I feel stabbed in the guts everyday when confronted with this. I really hope this is a turning point, that all this horror isn’t in complete vain

Juju

Incredible episode. Thank you

Chris

You managed to make an accounting of some of the worst, most heartrending atrocities committed in my lifetime about your personal inconvenience. Heroic effort really

William

Just fuck off already

Emily Richardson

1. Oof. This was a hard one but so glad you covered it 2. I am always so thankful (? can’t find the right word) for the disgust and frustration in Will’s voice when he talks about what’s happening in Gaza. I think it represents my feelings well and I’m glad it’s being put out in the world. 3. Man, the conversation about the kids being shot and blown up. This genocide is so fucking pointless and whenever I stop and really think about it it makes me feel like I’m actually going insane. 4. Great episode. I always crave the funny ones but appreciate when you do these hard ones.

Osborne MOCs

Not to be a nerd but I can't think of anything else to say so Will asked if it's possible for US military to be serving in the IDF. It's possible, but unlikely for someone in active duty unless they're assigned in a direct capacity. To go there on their own they'd need to get approved for leave, and this would be an especially unusual exemption. Reservists and guardsmen could do it on their own time but they'd also probably need authorization. As for special forces or CIA, impossible to know for sure. I've seen pictures of soldiers with US flags but that's not really conclusive. I don't think the extent of US involvement in Gaza will be known for some time, if ever.

Doug Cartel

That quip about pakistani kids reminded me of that britbong from the 1870s who said he grew to hate seeing blue skies because of his experience documenting the drought-famines in india

NYCM&AHole

Will, I hope you know that has hard as this episode was, it’s important and don’t shy away from doing these just because there’s not endless dumb jokes in the comments. It’s important that you brought this to us.

John Harwood

I love when the Chapos are goofy—they are so funny—but the episodes I actually relisten to are the ones when they are able to channel, themselves or through guests, the absolute moral outrage that is this world. It helps me to feel less alone.

Ardy Rezv

I have seen many. Saying Biden is doing his best and it’s all Netanyahus fault. Just seems like political suicide to go against the wishes of your base and bend the knee to a county who have already proven to have backed Trump previously. Makes you wonder who really pulls the strings.

MEAT CLOWN

This was a good episode and I hated every minute of it 🙏

MEAT CLOWN

I complain about audio stuff and weird voices regularly and I still don't know what people are talking about with Will's voice fading in and out. Also the level of autism to throw a fit about it on this of all episodes is astounding.

MEAT CLOWN

Seems like it's supposed to represent "jew" based on his other comments

Jesse

If you need a news outlet that doesn’t make you feel insane on this watch Al Jazeera

TLT

Thank you to Sharif and Kavitha for the difficulty and sincerity of their task. Hind’s story and it’s transcription alone was too much to bear. I couldn’t hold back a scream and tears. How can people do this to each other, how can people endure this? The scale of horror is debilitating and incomprehensible.

Matthew

Jesus fucking christ. The account of Hind’s call is just harrowing, infuriating, tear-inducing. No words. Thank you for drawing attention to this doc.

Gage

What reasonable fucking conclusion am I supposed to come to? If 90% of American Germans were chomping st the bit to support the Nazis AFTER the images of the camps came out, then every sane human would be chomping at the bit for mass deportation. This is no different. That little girl that Israel murdered? 90% of American jews support that. They think it's somewhere between morally good, and a grim necessity. There is literally a single sliver of daylight between Judaism and Zionism, and I refuse to ignore the reality that that's not the case.

Emily Laird

your audio pervertry "takes precedence over the seriousness of the subject matter" it's a fucking genocide grow up bitch

Emily Richardson

I had the exact same thought: I wish there was a hell so these people would be punished for what they’re doing.

The Children of Jack Acid

The IDF soldiers posting their war crimes to Tik Tok has a sort of precedent in the U.S.: in the early 20th century, people in a small town that just had a lynching would take photos of the lifeless victim hanging from a tree (with a smiling crowd usually around him), and then vendors would make POSTCARDS of those photos, and people would mail them to friends, like it was a vacation postcard. You know... "Having a blast! Wish you were here!" Obviously this was not a "war crime" but it was an out-in-the-open violation of both Federal and, usually, local law, but no one was worried about being caught or arrested, because the South got to lynch with impunity. Northern Democrats needed those votes.

Mark Schneider

He's maybe too young to be directly reincarnated from one of the worst Nazi war criminals, but that is the vibe he joyously gives off.

Mark Schneider

The Rethuglicans fear their base. The Dimmies HATE their base, & this has been common knowledge for 3 decades. The Rethugs are at least less hypocritical & shit on their base less, some times give them what they want. This makes the Dimmies in most respects more disgusting than the Rethugs, as they never give their base shit (except for meaningless virtue signaling). Anyone who votes Dimmie at this point is a self-hating masochist, OR a soulless pod-person.

Mark Schneider

This is dark & horrible stuff. We all need to hear & witness it, however. The US gubbmint along with Izrael will go down as some of the worst war criminals in all of known human history. And pieces of shit like the corpse-eating, dead-eyed ghoul Blinken, Matt Miller & "Admiral" Kirby are proud of that.

RollinK

One thing I’m wondering is what is Hamas’ military capability at this point? Is there a force challenging israel in Gaza at this point?

Brent

Geezus, you casually tap on what you think is a Movie Mindset ep. about a little known James Mason flick, and then WHAM, the cold bucket of reality douses you. Thanks fellas. I’m shook

NYCM&AHole

We have a lot of those already

Comrade Trash Panda

None, Hamas has already been effectively destroyed. This is purely about the killing at this point, I mean it always was but the excuse is long dead just like all the hostages.

Comrade Trash Panda

Gonna need a revolution first before that history can be written

Woodrow Skillson

It's more that it could be us active duty outright participating

Comrade Trash Panda

In the broadest sense it would dedicate the majority of its time/energy to educating and organizing the working class in preparation for revolutionary action. I know that's not a satisfying answer and it's a bit vague but this is a patreon comment section and detailed answers would take writing a book. Not dodging the question just don't want to write a manifesto here if nobody is going to read it

Christian Bendillo

Fun fact: you have to type the entire title and press search to find this on YouTube. No suggestions up to the last letter. Tell me that isn’t intentional.

etienne

dude it's gonna be so awesome when Israel insists to have a delegation at the Olympics. just rotate that shape in your mind before it happens

Chris

lets not fucking kid ourselves, trump could drop MOABs on Gaza and half the country would be like "well actually its debatable" We shouldn't be telling ourselves it couldn't get worse for Gaza, that's just masturbation frankly.

Ivy Green

Thanks dudes for highlighting this documentary and doing this interview. I had to go punch paper towels in the back room at work after this episode.

MKatieUltra

eSIMs for Gaza is this great org that will take donated eSIMs (like you’d get when you travel to another country and want data on your phone) and get them to people in Gaza. The first time I did it, it took forever to get activated, or they’d get used very slowly. More recently, I have someone who goes through 10 GB like every 3 days. They could be hot spotting for other phones, but I was wondering if they were uploading a bunch of video. Pretty sure there’s no way to find out. They stopped using it for two weeks and I thought they might’ve gotten bombed, but then it started back up. Find how to donate at gazaesims.com

Ardy Rezv

A quick death and a death by a thousand cuts still leaves you dead. Same outcome

Jose Mendoza

I was literally in traffic with both of my hands covering my mouth and couldn’t stop the tears when her mother told her not to worry about her dress. Fucking heartbreaking on a human level but if you have kids, it hits just a little different.

Ian H

I guess if you mean Hamas as civil authority/service provider it's effectively destroyed. The Qassam brigades are very much still operational as a guerilla force, and continue to inflict casualties and material losses on the IDF. That doesn't make the genocide against the people of Gaza a war though, or somehow justify it. The Nazis were simultaneously fighting partisans throughout occupied Eastern Europe and carrying out the Holocaust in the same areas and against the same population.

Lindsay Dodd

In tears on the bus, Hind, the biscuit in the little cold hand.

Jessica Rios

That’s why Matt is the best. He can do both. Be funny while also being outraged and dead serious. God I miss our boy during these times.

Luke Witherell

I feel so powerless, so angry, so tired, so devastated. And I'm just an American on my phone. What the hell can we do?

Elliot Matheny

Might as well have been a war crime. Jim Crow America was certainly prosecuting a war.

Nathan El

Evan gerskavitch is a spy lol

RollinK

Yeah this—asking because whenever Israel kills hundreds of civilians you hear the same old lines about a ‘command post’ or a ‘commander’ and I know pasting that terminology onto a guerrilla force is a deliberate distortion

N

That's just not true at all. Al-Qassam has been launching continual attacks even in the north of Gaza, where the IDF claims they have 'cleared' areas. This genocide has done little to actually degrade their fighting capability

Antipaganda

America herded people into bombing zones and killed them in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Left them alone the entire war, then nuked them.

Antipaganda

Gee, I wonder why the US wants to control Tiktok?

Ryan Kohler

Sharing on now?! You guys are killing it with the guests. Hope Matt is doing awesome. Thanks as always, guys.

Some.nerd

This is a real tough one. Appreciate you guys telling their story, our dog-shit media won’t.

Some.nerd

Check out electric intifada for updates. Hamas is still fighting and recruiting more troops than they are losing

wolfgang

Will’s argument for tiktok is incoherent. the beginning of the segment starts with how a wash of contextless clips numbs society into complacency and that the doc is necessary to fight this formula.

wolfgang

Good call. we need to vote Biden out of his position as prime minister of Israel. We can deal with whatever comes afterwards, when the time comes.

Ardy Rezv

Biden wishes he had the power of the prime minster of Israel

K H

I watched it and it helped me personally to see other people work through it in this episode. The documentary kind of just lays the last 6 months out in a concise way. Idk. It is just very clear Israel is a nazi state. No other way to describe the strategy.

K H

Thanks.

K H

Did he say it does or question if the persistence makes a person numb to it?

K H

I haven't seen that statistic but my inclination is to assume it's bs promoted by Israel like the survey results that try to paint anyone who doesn't believe in Israeli tech supremacy as antisemitic. Israel has done a good job in getting a lot of Jewish people into its cult over the decades though so idk.

K H

I thouht Israel outright said it conducted an operation with US forces to retrieve the 4 prisoners and kill some 200+ refugees in the process.

K H

I think Israel is in danger of sparking a multi front war(as opposed to this genocide) already. They are bombing so much they run out of ammo, so it really could not get much worse. If it did, I think you would see a military response from Lebanon and likely an escalation from the West Bank once they their future. I think it would run exactly the same either way, with msm covering a tiny bit more of the atrocities.

K H

Nazis.

K H

Thats cool. I see what you're saying. I hope it happens. Unfortunately Vietnam was won by the Vietcong, not the hippie movement or resultant orgs. We might help here, but to win from here is unprecedented.

K H

The worst kind of phile.

K H

Death to nazis.

K H

Clearly you are not Japanese.

K H

Death to nazis? I don't want people to think I only mean the ones that make up Israel. Not over until they are all gone.

K H

God holds the demons on earth to receive human justice.

JD Nonce

I actually do live in Japan now

Jason Nuclear

Downer ep. Skip this one if you’re already in a shitty mood
