Occupied Chicago + Israel v Gaza, 2 Years On | The Joy Reid Show LIVE! Oct 06, 2025

The conversation delves into the alarming rise of political violence in the U.S., particularly against public officials, and the role of media in shaping narratives around these events. It highlights specific incidents, such as threats against Congresswoman Jayapal, who joins to discuss, and ICE raids in Chicago, while also discussing the broader implications of these actions on civil rights and democracy. Next: Joy and Daniel Levy, president of the U.S./Middle East Project, explore the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the impact of global movements against Israeli policies, and the need for accountability and nonviolent resistance in the face of escalating political tensions. In hour two of the sow, Joy and Mehdi Hasan discuss the chilling effect on media narratives surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict, the shifting perspectives on Palestinian issues within right-wing circles, and Professor Norman Finkelstein joins to discuss the historical context of Gaza. They explore the implications of these narratives on African American support for Palestine and the broader implications of genocide in Gaza, particularly in light of the October 7 attacks.
