The Chris Hedges Report: Hip hop, censorship, and Palestinian resistance
Legendary UK-based hip-hop artist and activist Kareem Dennis, aka Lowkey, uses his considerable talents as a musician to pay homage to the voices and struggles of the oppressed, from the plight of migrants that have fled to Europe, to the suffering of Iraqis and Palestinians in the Middle East, to the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017. His work, including his single “Voices of The Voiceless“ with Immortal Technique, and “Long Live Palestine“ (also known as “Tears to Laughter“), are hip-hop classics. His song “Terrorist?“, a searing condemnation of the hypocrisy of Washington and Western governments, was swiftly censored by many digital media platforms.
He’s long been a target of the Israel lobby in both UK and the United States, which blocked him from receiving a visa to perform. The University of Cambridge postponed his March 8 Zoom talk, “The Israel Lobby’s War Against You.“ The British press has engaged in an ongoing smear campaign against the rapper, and there is an organized effort to get his music removed from Spotify.
Chris Hedges interviews writers, intellectuals, and dissidents, many banished from the mainstream, in his half-hour show, The Chris Hedges Report. He gives voice to those, from Cornel West and Noam Chomsky to the leaders of groups such as Extinction Rebellion, who are on the front lines of the struggle against militarism, corporate capitalism, white supremacy, the looming ecocide, as well as the battle to wrest back our democracy from the clutches of the ruling global The Chris Hedges Report live YouTube premiere on The Real News Network every Friday at 12PM to episode podcasts and find bonus content at The Chris Hedges Report Substack.
