00:00 Intro
00:15 The status of the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel
03:24 Lebanon's right to self defense
06:25 U.S. foreign policy is racist
08:11 Western countries are not democratic

Lebanese-American Political Science professor Asad AbuKhalil breaks down what is happening in Lebanon, Israel’s war crimes and the U.S. Government’s rank hypocrisy and racism when it comes to the right to self defense. He and Katie react to an awkward video in which State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel gets testy and refuses to ask a very basic question posed by reporter Willy Lowry: Does Lebanon have the right to self-defense? Or is that right only reserved for Israel?

Born in Tyre, Lebanon, Asad AbuKhalil received his BA and MA in political science from the American University of Beirut, and his PhD in comparative politics from Georgetown University. He is the author of Historical Dictionary of Lebanon, Bin Laden, and The Battle for Saudi Arabia, among other titles, and his articles on Middle Eastern politics and culture have appeared in publications throughout the world. AbuKhalil lives in California, where he is a professor of political science at California State University, Stanislaus.
