Hasan opens up about a recent, controversial CNN exchange, where a right-wing commentator accused him of being a terrorist—a moment that has sparked national conversations on media accountability and the role of hate speech on major platforms.

Amnesty International Reveals Genocide in Gaza: The World Must Act

In this episode of The Muslim Viewpoint, host Rifat Malik delves into Amnesty International's landmark report, ‘You Feel Like You Are Subhuman’, which accuses Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza during the ongoing conflict. The report highlights unrelenting destruction in Gaza following the events of October 7, 2023, and claims that these actions meet the criteria for genocide under the UN Genocide Convention. Amnesty’s Secretary General, Agnès Callamard, calls for urgent international recognition and action to end the atrocities. The episode examines key findings, including the targeting of civilian infrastructure, mass displacement, and the use of dehumanizing rhetoric by Israeli officials. Personal testimonies from survivors paint a devastating picture of life under siege. The episode also discusses international reactions, including an unprecedented ICC arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and accusations of complicity against nations supplying arms to Israel. This powerful discussion sheds light on the urgent need for accountability, justice, and an immediate ceasefire.
