The Proximate Aspect with Abby Martin

In an exclusive interview with Al Mayadeen's The Proximate Aspect, American journalist and activist Abby Martin discussed a wide range of topics, including "Israel's" genocide in Gaza, the decline of Zionist legitimacy, global youth resistance, US imperialism’s role, and the war over narratives. Martin weighed in, explaining how US President Donald Trump's ceasefire deal in Gaza is an economic weapon, that the world is witnessing the slow collapse of the Zionist project, and if the current wave of youth protests, from campuses to digital spaces, is a global anti-colonial awakening. The interview also addressed the US' planned strikes on Venezuela under the pretext of "narcoterrorists" and how newsroom clichés, such as "Hamas-run" "Israel’s right to defend itself," and "collateral damage," manufacture public consent.
