Three years ago, the world was left stunned by Hamas's brutal and horrific surprise attack on Israel, in which the militant group killed over 1,000 Israelis and kidnapped over 250 people. Yet, as details emerged about warnings that went ignored and the military's slow response to the October 7 attack, many began to ask – how much of a surprise attack was this? In this 'Mehdi Unfiltered' interview, Mehdi asks Avi Melamed – who has served in various intelligence and counterterrorism positions for the Israeli government – some of the most crucial questions that have come out about Israel's apparent lack of preparation around the October 7 attack.

Genocidal wars framed as holy missions. Government agents shooting people on the streets. Robots that threaten extinction. Those scenarios should just be the plot of another end-of-the-world movie. Instead, it's the reality we're living in, as Zeteo contributor Naomi Klein and documentarian Astra Taylor, describe in their newest book, End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World. In this interview, Klein and Taylor join Mehdi to discuss how this reality is bringing us closer to the kind of doomsday we see in movies, and how the rich and powerful – and the systems that uphold them – are accelerating that destruction.
