Benny Morris - Historian or Racist? (LSE 14 June 2011) [inminds.com]

[ritchloui]

I'm sick of all these crocodile tears for the Palestinians. The Arabs insisted that the Palestinians remain PERMANENT refugees. The only people on earth whose 'refugee' status passes from one generation to the next. I'm sick of these libtard enablers who happily stand shoulder-to-shoulder with masked men and women with swatstikas and banners calling for another holocaust and the obliteration of the free world and its submission to the religion of hate.

[freeman8128]

Although anyone of any race can be Muslim, Islam is biased toward Arabs.

The Quran refers to Jews as "Apes & Pigs" & Muslims have violently hated Jews for 1400 years - long before 1948 & Israel/'Palestine.

In the 1400 years since the time of Muhammed up to & including this present day, MUSLIMS have genocidally murdered an estimated 270 million people worldwide - making ISLAM the most genocidal ideology in human history, with Marxism a close second.

[Tralgit]

@freeman8128 Doesn't " apes and pigs " refer to " people of the book " t.i. Jews and Christians?

[freeman8128]

@Tralgit 'People of the book' (ahl al-ketab) refers to Jews & Christians. Surah al-Fatiha, which every Muslim must recite at least 28 times daily as part of his/her devotions, refers to Jews as "those who have found [Allah's] disfavour" & Christians as "those who have gone astray".

The Quran says 'Allah' cursed the Jews & turned them into Apes & Pigs for refusing to submit to Muhammad. See also the following aHadeeth: Sahi Muslim Book 41, 6981 & 6985 & my YT video 'Islam calls Jews Apes & Pigs'

[NowLearnAboutIslam]

Israel is a wonderful example to the world of how to deal with Muslims. Deport them, quarantine them.

And if any of the women speaking against Morris here were to actually live under the conditions that Islam creates for women wherever it rules on this planet they would be pleading for a ticket out. They seem absolutely fine for millions of their sisters to live under the yoke of Islam however, not to mention the thousands of them who are genitally mutilated or murdered for "honour" every year.

[yz2012]

Although I certainly believe that Benny Morris is a racist, I find it audacious that this video blames the the extensive security on Morris, rather than the people who have created a genuine climate of fear for people with controversial viewpoints. In the words of Noam Chomsky, "if you don't believe in free speech for everyone, you don't believe in it at all".

[KripkeSaul]

Look we have a Jew on our side....

[KripkeSaul]

Say what you want about Morris, but he is a realist about the consequences of having a Arab majority in Israel.

[Tralgit]

@KripkeSaul Yep, they breed like rats, add nothing , cost a fortune in keeping and are utterly useless. In NL one non western immigrant cost 300.000, euro to " integrate " justice system not included, 74% of our inmates are muslims. Yeah they are a " real " asset, time to start deporting them!!

[KripkeSaul]

@Tralgit Well, I don't know about the Israeli-Arabs today, my opinion is just that I doubt that Jews could successfully survive in a Palestine with a Arab majority. Given the influx of millions of Arabs from outside, perhaps all with a grudge towards Israel is certainly not a nice prospect. As I said, I know nothing about the productivity of Israeli Arabs, but shouldn't your criticism equally apply to the ultra-orthodox Anti-Zionist Haredim?

[Tralgit]

@KripkeSaul If you compare the GDP from Israel with its surrounding muslim countries, $ 27.000,-- versus $5000,-- you have the answer. No; Israel couldn't survive with this 5th col lone in its borders, but you are right; but the Heredim and neo nazi muslims on an island, waste of space really, and let them fight it out. Both are not fit for life in the developed world.

[ahgoah]

Another lefty agenda driven video blah blah blah..you bore me.

[TheIDFman]

Benny Morris is widely regards by world historians as the penultimate source on the conflict's history. What you have here is brainwashed leftist Muslims who only care about human rights if they are concerning Muslims.

[oldworldapes123]

This commentary is biased, unfair, and bullshit! How about Hebron and Safed?!! They occurred way before the Nakhba. How about the 800,000 Jews from Arab nations the Arabs stole land, property, rights from and tortured? How about how Arab states have slaughtered more Palestinians than Israel? You are wannabe social activists, who are brainwashed by overzealous subjectivity, and a lack of ability to analyze information objectively.

[hometv1970]

lol @ the people after the lecture. I watched the lecture and I don't think the people really watched the lecture. I think they went in to the lecture all angry and pissed off and saw things he didn't say.

[hometv1970]

These people yelling at him are a joke while Morris walks down the street.

This video is so slanted.  I hope people watching don't think they are getting the whole story and see what Morris actually says in context. There are plenty of his lectures on youtube.

[rstysmms]

What a joke. Morris states repeatedly that since ARABS won't open their state archives as Israel has done, it's hard to really say what was going on. As far as questioning his methodology, any research he's done is more than whichever idiot(s - did you guys need a team to make this?) made this video.

Genocide, what a farce. Arab population has grown many-fold in size and enjoys better quality of life indicators relative to neighbouring countries, look at any WHO report. Usful idiots.

[danny1st]

“What the Arabs were GOING to do?" I love the way Islamonazis & Islamonazis’ sympathizers always tend to neglect all the pogroms that Muslims inflicted upon Jews in the Land of Israel, prior to the independence war and civil clashes, such as:

1920, in the Galil and Jeursalem.

1921, in Jaffa and Petach Tekva etc’

1929, in Hebron and Safet.

1936-1939, all over the land.

The Arab gangbangers murdered hundreds of innocent Jewish men, women & children, burnt crops, looted stores and houses.

[azyeennekun]

I'm pretty sure you can be both a historian and a racist.

[dvlasenko1]

Can you find even more gay voice for the narrative?

[uncleadolf]

Sorry for the double comment but as a historian Morris must know that the Zionists were the first ones to bomb market places, restaurants and buses (in the 1930s, good but not full list on Wikipedia). Has he made any comment on that?

[uncleadolf]

He can be both, you know. As a person I don't find much to like but I rate his as a historian.

[adribon]

The narrator makes a mistake: In Deir Yassin the Zionists killed not 250 but (only) about 100 civilians. Make no mistake, no one talks of e.g. the massacre at Al-Tantura but that one was much bloodier than Deir Yassin. In Al-Lydd the conquerors killed 426.

[hometv1970]

@adribon

Don't bother mentioning facts. These people have an agenda and aren't interested in facts. Just watch the reactions to the video on this video and the actual lecture which is on youtube. The people in this video said they saw things he didn't say or took things completely out context that it was a joke.

[chugalongway]

Benny Morris is right in one sense, if Israel cleansed the area to the Jordan River then it wouldn't have this problem today. Israel, like the USA and Australia could feel sorry 'after' the fact of genocide.

[rationalindian10]

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Clowns have appointed themselves as the self-appointed guardians of morality and human rights!!!! Hahahahahahahahaha. Go, take a leak and get a good fuck folks. Humans dont deserve any RIGHTS you cocksuckers. Humans are a disease on this planet which needs to be wpied off from the chapter of History so that other species can live in peace.

[salimalam]

This is a must see video which shows Professor Benny Morris for what he really is.

[bs09b2s]

drop the flute

[MarkAPresto]

Great Message - but cut the "flute?" it was distracting. Thank you

[Palestinerhymes]

Thank you for telling this most disgusting of histories...this was very difficult to watch. Peace be upon all the innocent victims of racist and terrorist policies. End Israeli apartheid and hold all those governements that support the terrorist Israeli state accountable.

[MrAlexSeymour]

Superbly done; shows Benny Morris up for what he is: a paranoiac racist. The danger of allowing such people on to a respected academic public platform is clear for all to see from what happened last weekend in Norway. There is little difference between the car bomb that the Irgun used to blow up the King David Hotel and the car bomb used in Oslo and again little difference between the cold blooded slaughter committed by Baruch Goldstein in Hebron in 1994 and the massacre at Utoeya last Friday.
