Some highlights:
at 24m: Hasan says that Trump’s policies in Israel such as moving the capital to Jerusalem and Abraham Accords caused Oct 7 to happen. AOC seemingly agrees and nods along.
at 29m: Hasan brings up the point that Democrats don’t pass enough regulations to combat inflation. AOC talks about targeting Ticketmaster.
at 32m: Hasan criticizes the Democrats for adopting Trump’s border policy. He says that Democrats should not accept the right wing framing of the border. He says that Democrats are legitimizing the Republicans. They spend like 10 minutes talking about how immigrants need an easier path to citizenship and how undocumented labor is used a tier system to suppress wages of all workers.
at 43m: Hasan criticizes Trump for throwing out the Iran de-nuclearization agreement.
at 47m: Hasan criticizes Joe Biden for running on reversing Trump’s border policies and then never doing it. AOC seemingly agrees and says we can’t beat Trump by using his polices and that Democrats need their own vision of a border policy.
at 54m: Donald Trump pauses his speech because someone in the crowd at the Trump rally is having a medical emergency. Hasan calls it a “massive L” to have a medical emergency at a Trump rally.
at 73m: Hasan criticizes the Democrats for accepting the right wing framing on the crime panic during the mid term election. He says that police lied about being defunded and were never defunded. AOC brings up Walgreens. Hasan talks about how the Walgreens CFO lied by saying that Walgreens locations had to be shutdown because of shoplifting. He says that Democrats accepting right wing framing is always devastating.
at 87m: AOC says that she is out of time and has to leave. What is surprising here is that she doesn’t try to promote Joe Biden or Democrats at all. Never says vote for Biden. I thought she would. She does say that she wants to help Hasan raise money for Palestinian aid. Hasan mentions a fundraising campaign called “Creators for Palestine”.
Shit I remember them in 03 when Sharon kicked off the second intifadah by going to Al Aqsa to provoke it
In the video, Donald Trump says that if he had been elected president in 2020, then October 7 would have never happened. This is obviously an absurd claim. Many of Donald Trump’s policies on Israel increased the amount of violence and cruelty that Palestinians were subjected to and increased tensions in the region. Some examples: moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, not including Palestinians in the Abraham Accords, assassinating Qasem Soleimani, etc. In the article from 2020 that I linked, Palestinians say that Donald Trump’s policies prevent them from accessing the Al Aqsa Mosque.
Obviously it is not entirely Trump who is responsible for October 7. He is partially responsible. Donald Trump escalated the violence against Palestinians at Al Aqsa Mosque. Hamas named the October 7 attack as ‘Al Aqsa Flood’ after the Al Aqsa Mosque. To my best knowledge, the name was a reference to the on going violence against Palestinians at the Al Aqsa Mosque, not one specific day as the other user had said. As you mention, the violence against Palestinians at the Al Aqsa Mosque goes back a long time.
