These are all words that have been used to describe US President Donald Trump’s draconian immigration policy.But in this ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview, US Congressman Maxwell Frost uses a different term to describe the White House’s immigration plan, accusing Trump and his officials of wanting to, "ethnically cleanse this country."WATCH ‘MEHDI UNFILTERED’ ON SUBSTACK:https://zeteo.com/s/mehdi-unfilteredFIND ZETEO:Twitter: https://twitter.com/zeteo_newsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/zeteonewsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zeteonewsFIND MEHDI:Substack: https://substack.com/@mehdirhasanTwitter: https://twitter.com/@mehdirhasanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/@mehdirhasanTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mehdirhasan

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit zeteo.comHistory repeats itself — so the saying goes. It’s a warning meant to steer us away from the world’s darkest chapters. But what happens when those warnings go unheeded? When survivors begin to see the same horrors they faced be inflicted onto others decades later?In this conversation, Mehdi sits down with Stephen Kapos – an 88-year-old British-Hungarian Holocaust survivor, who was forced to go into hiding at the age of seven, was separated from his mother and father, lost 15 members of his family to the Nazi concentration camps, and witnessed the total destruction of cities during the war. Today, Kapos has become one of the most vocal pro-Palestinian voices among Jewish Holocaust survivors.“What I saw then was a by-product of two armies fighting, and what I see in Gaza is deliberate destruction. It’s even worse,” Kapos says, comparing the scenes of rubble and dead bodies in 1944 and now. He also reflects on his trip to Israel in the 1960s and what he was shocked to find even back then.Mehdi also asks Kapos about those who have cited similarities between Donald Trump’s fascistic leadership in the US and Nazi Germany in the 1920s and 30s. Kapos says it’s “absolutely” a fair comparison.Watch the full interview where the two discuss Kapos’ experience as a Jewish, pro-Palestine activist, his rejection of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism, and why he will continue to fight for the children of Gaza.Free subscribers can watch a 3-minute preview of the conversation.

It was an ‘unsubscribe’ seen and heard by perhaps millions around the world last week. Not an unsubscribe to Zeteo (how dare you suggest, even think, such a thing!)… It was YouTube children’s show host Ms. Rachel unsubscribing from none other than the New York Times “because of its biased and dehumanizing coverage of Palestinians and Palestine, and its failure to uphold journalistic integrity,” she wrote in an Instagram post with more than 250,000 likes as of Sunday morning.Ms. Rachel went on to share loaded questions she was asked by the Times for their piece about her earlier this year: from accusations that she accepts money “to further Hamas’s agenda” to her advocacy for Gaza when “it doesn’t seem to implicate directly” with her children-related work. (Because why would she care about more than 20,000 innocent children, right?)This is why we, Zeteo, exist. Journalistic integrity with a bias for the truth and a desire to shed light on the greatest moral and legal issues of our time, especially Israel’s ongoing, US-backed, genocide in Gaza. So, watch our interview with Ms. Rachel from earlier this year, in case you missed it when it came out, or if you just want to rewatch a conversation with a person who puts her morals above her career. It’s an interview where we don’t question her universal care for children or give weight to bad-faith critics. Mehdi tries instead to get to the heart of her work, her advocacy, and how her life has been affected by both.If you’re a paid subscriber, you can let us know what you think of our interview in the comments section below.
