 The news team of the Open Minded Thinker Show is actually not a fan of the CNN monologue reporter, but his latest monologue about the obvious destabilizing policies of the Biden administration in Gaza has given us a sense of the overwhelming pressure of evidence that made CNN, for the first time, allow a brutal, truthful, anti-BB Netanyahu rant on its platform. This latest truth-to-power moment convinced us to add even further context to the omission made in the presentation by Fareed. Our commitment is to deliver factual news and impartial geopolitical analysis. We encourage you to engage with our content by liking and sharing this video to stay informed.

He sees Biden as an astute politician and great man who was able, within some few months in the White House, to douse the effect of Donald Trump's wavelength. The CNN monospace has made videos praising the ingenuity of the Democratic administration and specifically Biden. On some occasions, his takes are spot-on, while on many occasions, he has taken extreme favorable sides to promote the current government in power. He attempted this in the latest video, which has been latched upon by critics including us, to mock his distorted position about the conflict in Gaza. While using very strong words such as immorality to describe the failure of Biden's Israeli policies, he went at length to defend his friend Biden. He used two minutes of the video to explain how the Biden administration urged Israel to stop this and stop that, how the president himself tried to reign over Netanyahu for a cessation of hostilities and that and that. Yet he cleverly omitted the crux of the issue at stake. For us, he was trying to bury the mountain of blame which American policies over the years have generated on the state of affairs in Palestine. Fareed was trying to play on our intelligence, wherein he tried to cast the president as the good guy, while Netanyahu's government as the bad guys, and blatantly ignored, stating that the U.S. has supplied the Middle Eastern colonizers with the weapons that it has thus far used to prosecute the brutal war in Gaza. According to unverified estimates, most of the bunker-busting munitions used in Gaza to bring down towers and high-rise buildings were supplied by the American government themselves. Fareed even refused to acknowledge that Biden mirrored Netanyahu's policy of non-compliance and compromise when his government decided to bomb Yemen instead of genuinely pushing for a ceasefire and allowance of aid to the starving people of Gaza, as demanded by the Yemeni armed forces. The reality is that he tried but failed to convince us that Biden is a saint. Yet Fareed doubled down. Here's my tip. When Hamas launched its gruesome terror attack on Israel on October 7th of last year, President Biden made a decision based on conviction and calculation. He announced his complete solidarity with the country. Biden must have calculated that the only way to have any influence on Israel would be to hug it close, show real empathy, send it the arms it needed, and thus earn Israel's trust to shape its response. It was a thought-through strategy, but it has failed almost completely. From the start, the administration urged the Israelis to consider proportionality in their response to Hamas. Israel heard it and went ahead with one of the most extensive bombing campaigns in this century against a population of about 2.2 million people that by Israel's own estimates contained about 30,000 Hamas militants. By one January estimate, more than half of buildings across Gaza had been damaged or destroyed. The administration counseled Israel against a large ground invasion of Gaza, advising it to take a narrower, targeted approach aimed at eliminating Hamas militants and infrastructure. The Israeli government had lots of long meetings with U.S. officials and then again went ahead with the ground invasion. The Biden team urged a humanitarian pause, but only got a brief one when it was able to get the government of Qatar to broker a hostage exchange. After initial operations wound up, American officials told Israeli officials that what was done in the north of Gaza could not be done to the south. Yet, after telling people to move to the south to get out of harm's way, Israel then proceeded to bomb the south in a manner that President Biden himself admitted is indiscriminate. This is the highest form of hypocrisy wrapped in a veil of concern and independent geopolitical analysis by Farid. Farid is one of the most unreliable analysts we have ever seen. He was so concerned about Biden's guidance of the Israeli war machine in Gaza and how concerned he was about the indiscriminate bombing of civilians in the south of Gaza, but at the same time intentionally omitted the fact that during this period the Biden administration supplied millions of shells and bombs to Bebe's army on top of more intelligence on targeting and destruction. Why didn't Farid make this observation? Why was he intent on making Biden look good and Israel bad? Everyone knows that it was the same administration that famously rejected an actual ceasefire in Gaza three times. We mean an actual ceasefire that would have made it possible for a permanent cessation of hostilities in the Strip and even totally prevented the invasion of Rafah. Farid appeared to be oblivious about this, or he outrightly wants to use the secret tool of deception to shore up the failing position of Biden in the upcoming elections. You see, we understand the game at play here. Biden has faced serious backlash from Arab Muslim voters and American Muslims in general. They have threatened to abandon the party, which has supported the actions of occupation forces in Gaza. They blame the administration for not doing enough to aid the innocent in Gaza. And by the Trump-like support the administration has offered Netanyahu in the face of his army's brutality in Palestine was a scandal for them. There's a serious rethink of their support, the rationale behind voting for a man who does nothing at least to enforce a ceasefire. Despite the appearance of the inability of the Biden government to stop Bebe, they know that it's all games to continue to undermine the people of Palestine. Farid knew all this, but this upcoming take landed him in shallow waters. The U.S. has repeatedly pressured Israel to make greater efforts to protect innocent civilians, but to little avail. Now it has been counseling against an invasion of Rafah, the city nestled close to Egypt, where over a million Palestinians have huddled together. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised to invade Rafah, whether another hostage deal is made or not. Washington has warned that after the war there should be no Israeli seizure of land in Gaza and no new Israeli occupation of the territory. The Israeli government's plans are to do both. The result is that American policy on the Gaza war now appears hapless, ineffective and immoral. The image of U.S. officials wringing their hands about civilian casualties while providing ever more weapons is grotesque. The image of a precedent of the United States mumbling words like indiscriminate and over-the-top to describe Israel's bombings suggests weakness and passivity. Part of the problem is that in trusting the Israeli government, Biden is trusting Bibi Netanyahu, an exceptionally clever politician who knows how to handle American presidents expertly and has done so for decades. This time, Bibi has outsmarted, outmaneuvered and outplayed Biden. But the problem goes beyond Bibi. Israel is in trauma. The October 7th attack shook the country to the core. The sense of safety that Israel was supposed to confer on its people has been shattered. As a result, many Israelis are sanctioning policies that they will regret deeply. President Biden, as a true friend of Israel, has the credibility to tell them the truth publicly and directly, perhaps in an address to the Israeli knesad, as foreign policy expert Richard Haas has suggested. Sure, Farid, it is hapless, ineffective and very immoral. Does this sound familiar to the way this administration has handled another crisis in the world? There is some recent crisis that instead of seeking a negotiated settlement, this administration opted for violence. It supplied arms, training and diplomatic support. Yet the effort came to nothing as it became apparent that the crisis can only end at the negotiation table with even bigger compromises. Can Biden simply look in the mirror? Here is the deal, Farid. Nobody believes Biden's beloved Farid Zakaria would ever throw such type of big words at the policies of this administration towards the crisis in Gaza or any other crisis in the world. People were caught by surprise. Farid used words that are reserved for people like Trump. He actually meant to show that the American public and, of course, Democrats are fed up with Netanyahu's war and with the growing call for a ceasefire. All be it technical, there's a need to give Netanyahu the impression that the legacy media, which has been largely silent in the face of alleged cases of genocide in Gaza, is leaving him behind with a more robust revelation of the truth. Without the big media, Netanyahu would have lost the information war. So episodes like this are a veiled warning to warmongers in Israel and the message is stop the war that is tarnishing the international and domestic images of the administration and American moral superiority or else face total media offensive against your propaganda interests. But will Netanyahu budge? He might not. He understands the hypocrisy of American policy sometimes. He knows that the sudden call for a six-week ceasefire might be an alleged plot to remake the image of the administration in the face of mounting electoral predicaments. So anything can be done to save the face of the administration. So he might continue the fighting and even if he doesn't, maybe for the sake of a temporary ceasefire, he would resume it. Farid needs to take back his words. No one is deceived. About one in four people are on the brink of famine and almost all are dependent on food aid. As of late December, the water supply is 7% of what it was before the war. Most of its hospitals no longer function. A visiting Oxford-based surgeon, Dr. Nick Maynard, described the condition at a hospital in Gaza, one of the few that are partially functioning. Quote, we saw mainly a lot of children coming in with the most appalling injuries, many of whom you knew were going to die and you couldn't give them pain relief. There was often no morphine. There was nowhere for them to die in dignity. So often they were just literally left lying on the floor of the corner of the emergency department to die. Israel says its goal is to totally destroy Hamas. You can kill Hamas militants. You can uproot its infrastructure. But you cannot destroy Hamas totally because it is really an idea. The idea that armed resistance is the only way Palestinians will get their rights. To defeat this idea, you need a better one. A way to show that nonviolent action and cooperation would lead to better lives for Palestinians and lasting security for both peoples. And Biden should go to Israel and show the country his love for it by speaking these hard truths. He would also show America and the world that he still has the energy, moral clarity. Many fails to grasp that this video underwent vetting before its publication. Its content aligns perfectly with the administration's narrative. We are not to blame for Israel's refusal to end the war. We've exhausted diplomatic channels, even leveraging reliable allies, yet Netanyahu remains obstinate. Frankly, there's nothing groundbreaking about Fareed's commentary. It neither staunchly supports Palestine nor vehemently opposes Israel. Rather, it's a calculated move aimed at applying pressure on Netanyahu in the short term. The broader geopolitical landscape remains unchanged, including the ongoing conflict. Its analysis serves as a face-saving measure, plain and simple. Thank you for your attention. Please consider sharing and liking this news update with your loved ones.
