Abby Martin on the Joe Rogan Experience #1111
Abby goes on the The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast to talk about everything from the demonization of “the Left,” Trump at the helm of US Empire, Kanye West’s meltdown, the Israeli lobby smear campaign for her previous appearance and the Israeli military’s massacre of Great March of Return nonviolent protesters on the Gaza border.
Abby Martin on Great March of Return Massacre
Abby talks about the Great March of Return massacre of nonviolent protesters on the Gaza border, including the Israeli Defense Force’s deliberate targeting of children, journalists and rescue workers.
On March 30, Israeli soldiers killed 17 civilians and injured more than 1,400 others with live ammunition, when 30,000 Palestinians gathered in peaceful protest for the “Great March of Return” on the Gaza border. Israel has imposed a deadly blockade on Gaza’s two million inhabitants for over a decade.
Robbie and Abby Martin interview journalists Max Blumenthal and Dan Cohen about the latest Israeli massacre, Western complicity in war crimes, and their film “Killing Gaza”, a devastating look at the aftermath of the 51 day war, where Israel killed over 500 children, and wiped out generations of families.

The Holy Land Foundation Five are Palestinian political prisoners sentenced up to upwards of 65 years in US prison for providing aid to refugees.
Although no proof exists for the organization providing support for terrorism, it was targeted in the Bush administration’s post-9/11 dragnet, setting an alarming precedent for activists in the US. Abby Martin sits down with an expert on the case, Miko Peled, to learn more about this little-known case.
Miko Peled is an Israeli-born activist for Palestinian rights, and the son of a famous Israeli general. He is the author of “The General’s Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine” and “Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five.”
This week, Abby Martin took a break from being the host of a podcast to being a guest on one – the It’s Going Down Podcast. The anarchist podcast explored a wide range of themes including Abby’s relationship with RT America, the current focus of anti-Russian sentiment, as well as her most recent work on Empire Files in Houston and elsewhere.
“Look no further than CBS CEO Les Moonves. During the lead up to the election…he said, “It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS.” Money is rolling in, and ‘this is fun.’ Yeah, it’s really, really fun to have [Trump] steamrolling…the most repressive agenda we’ve seen in quite a long time in this country.” – Abby Martin
