How Gaza exposed the US empire ‘like never before’ | Matt Kennard | Real Talk
‘They’re not ready for the storm that’s happening... The average Joe has Twitter and is seeing what’s going on [in Gaza].’
On Real Talk, we sat down with investigative journalist Matt Kennard to discuss his latest book, The Racket.
In this conversation, Kennard dives deep into US hegemony and foreign policy, especially in light of Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza. He also unpacks the broader implications of US imperialism, the upcoming US elections, and why he believes Gaza has “exposed the US empire like never before“.
Real Talk is a Middle East Eye interview show hosted by Mohamed Hashem that delves into the stories and experiences of a diverse range of guests.
