  • it's not Muslims vs Jews,

    its Arabs vs Violent Zionists.

  • When palestinian arabs are marked as dhimmis, forced to live in ghettos, forcibly converted to Judaism, have pogroms set against them, and lose 6 million of their people to gas chambers and ovens, then they can liken their suffering to that of the Jews

  • Let's listen to both sides, before judging....

  • People talk about how clever Jews are and it is this cleverness that has devised the details that make up the apartheid state of Israel. Never applaud the cleverness of Jews. It is made up of fraud, bribery, threats and deceit.

  • funny to hear a Muslim Arab talking about turture, killing etc...

  • @2912770 Why is that funny?

  • @2912770 Its funny because he was Christian you retart

  • such bullshit. in the 1950's Israel got rid of its refugee camps and made Arabs their citizens. Jordan, which is overwhelmingly Palestinian, has yet to do this. Kuwait kicked out 500,000 Palestinians in the 90's b/c that dickhead Arafat supported Hussein's war on Kuwait, but you'd never hear this from the anti-Israel crowd.

  • Israel is just like South Africa, except we don't have an 18% HIV infection rate.

  • ek shaneesh, hashish, eddy said speaks! "sheesh" -- that's what ed said. people always follow like deadheads. swallowing red meds, swallowing blues too. various hues, dude. downtown brown like yoohoo. watch it like youtube, watch it like youtube, watch it like youtube, watch it like youtube.

  • He looks like Dustin Hoffman. 

  • Laughing when Iraqis kill each other is not Anti-Semitism.

  • Jews never suffered anything - you liar.

  • The first sentence he speaks is totally inaccurate. It is if he has never ever been to Israel. And in the second sentence he could easily be talking about Hamas. The third sentence is totally accurate in saying that the Israelis are doing w...hat was done to the Jews in Nazi Germany. The focus of the video is to showcase Israel's inhumanity and utter cruelty to the Palestinians. I get that and I believe it is true but there are a lot of Jews in Israel that fight for the Palestinian cause.

  • @soundmethod i think it's a figure of speech, i think he means the Israeli State. Whilst he was alive he a massive friend and colaborator with Daniel Barenboim the Conductor and Pianist who is both Jewish and Israeli and also vehemently opposes the Israeli occupation. He was also one of the first people on Palestinian side to criticise the use of terrorism and also to declare that Israel whatever the horrors of its foundation in 48, as a society has a right to exist.

  • the palestinians could have a had a state in 1947 and 2000, but they are not interested in peace. they want israels anihilation.

    until such a time as the palestinians want their own state more than they want to destroy israel...there will be no peace.

    and if the palestinians continue to bring up their kids to hate jews and continue with the futility of terrorist violence, there will never even be the possibility of any kind of settlement.

  • @catveezle Give me a break. Your country as the whole world knows is based on Greater Israel just as Serbia was based on Greater Serbia. You built settlements for 40 years. Is that peace? Give me a break. Stop using that crap about hatred of Jews when your country has racist actions against even Arab-Israeli. Arab-Israeli bedouins get harassed by your racist regime. Look in the mirror. You are the

    state of hate. Your bring up your kids in hatred of Arabs as well. It's in your polls.

  • @QUINTUSMAXIMUS

    i am not a jew...and i live in the manchester.

    but as a result of researching the violent roots of islam, i have come to admire the israels and sympathise with their situation: surrounded by people whose religion teaches them hatred of jews.

    you just have to check the koran for to see what mohammed did to the jews of arabia after they mocked & rejected him! genocide.

    look at arab tv for all the demonizing of jews.

    and arabia today: not a jew in sight anywhere!

    tolerant indeed!

  • @catveezle Frankly, I don't think you're British or English at all, mate. You said "the" Manchester. I can see someone with a Russian or Asian background. You are forgetting a major part of history. The Muslims and Jews were mostly on friendly relations for centuries while Jews were being oppressed in Europe. The Jews in Spain helped Muslims conquer Spain. Maimonides and Saladin were friends. Things changed in the 20th century. The anti-Semitism language was imported from Europe.

  • @catveezle I do not follow religion, and you can find problems with the history of the ancient Jews and Muslims if you want. What happened in Medina? The Jews were supposed to stay out of the war and had agreed not to help the other side. However, they ended up helping the pagans in violation of the agreement, and this was during a war. Mohammed asked an old Jewish man who converted to Islam what Jews did in similar cases in their lands when others did that. Then, Mohammed did the same.

  • Edward Said is another Fakeshtinian! Israel is a jewish land Edward!! Palestinian nation doesn't exists! People who call themselves "palestinians are nothing but arabs from different backgrounds.

  • @theromashka1 It's difficult to make sense of your assertion. Your claim would be more accurate had at the turn of the last century, as you could make a good argument that the Palestinians had no real nationalist sentiments at that time. However, as time passed they did begin to develop a national movement. In any case, they certainly have one now. Claiming the "Palestinian nation doens't exist" strikes me as a difficult position to defend.

  • @GorterPoss It's not assertion it' a fact. People who call themselves "palestinians" are arabs from different corners of the Middle East. Very small amount of them are real inhabitants of geographic term called Palestine. And you are right, they never claimed "their land" from anybody. And even today, 2/3 of Palestine is in Jordan, but for some reason they don't claim it fro Jordan!!!!!!! Something to think about!

  • @GorterPoss Even Edward Said was half lebanese and had a permanent address in Cairo. Arabs think that they have the right to declare automatic rights for the land in the Middle East just because they are from Middle East. It's like Russian person would declare the rights on the spanish land just because he is from Europe. Jerusalem was a jewish capitol for 3000 years, long before arab conquest arrived to the region and long before the birth of Islam!

  • @theromashka1 Edward Said's father was from Jerusalem. Having a Lebanese mother doesn't make his Palestinian father Lebanese. That's really ridiculous. At least, his mother was from Lebanon, not Poland or Russia.  Lebanese are natives to the Middle East. Russians and Poles are not. Their addresses were in Europe, not even in the region.

  • @QUINTUSMAXIMUS On Edward Said's birth certificate says permanent resident of Cairo Egypt!And Just because some people are from Middle East that doesn't give them the automatic right for ALL the land in the Middle East! SORRY things don't work this way!

  • @theromashka1 Edward Said's father was born in Palestine. That's verifiable.

    His relatives also live in Palestine. He said he was born in Palestine and attended St George for a period. That's more than enough of a connection. Very few Israelis even had such a connection of many relatives there. The Christians of Palestine are purer Semites than the Palestinians or Israelis.

  • @QUINTUSMAXIMUS His father was born in British Palestine and his mother in Lebanon, and they had citizenship in Egypt. After the end of British rule , Middle East was divided to many different countries like Syria, Jordan and Israel. And I would really want to have citizenship to all the countries of the world because I am a true citizen of the world but unfortunately in reality it can't happened.

  • @theromashka1 No, that's not quite what I have read. I have read that his father was an American citizen of Palestinian origin, a former American soldier, even, of Anglican Palestinian background, thus Palestinian. His mother was born in Nazareth. His mother was half Egyptian. He did have Lebanese relatives, which was not unusual. He was born in Jerusalem. Thus, his ties to Palestine on both sides are clear. In most countries, it would make you a citizen or tie to the land.

  • @QUINTUSMAXIMUS Story of Edward Said just proves my point. There is no such thing as Palestinian nation. People who call themselves "palestinians" are arabs from different backgrounds. Most of them were attracted to the newly established zionist industry in the region. No wonder that all the arabs that live right next to jews flourish. No wonder that Israeli arabs complain about inequality but affraid to leave Israel because in Israel they get much more human rights then in any arabic country!

  • @theromashka1 By the way Edward Saids birth certificate states that he was born in Palestine and permanent address Cairo!!!!!!!!

  • @theromashka1 No, it doesn't prove your point. Edward Said's father was from Palestine. There was nothing wrong with having a mother who was partially Lebanese because this was true of the region for thousands of years. Since ancient times the wider area of Syria was one. You are creating an artificial concept of the area because Israel is an artificial creation as are all the states in the region. They are all colonial driven, and there has to be an understanding and peace to solve the rift

  • @QUINTUSMAXIMUS I truly feel for arabs who stuck in political game between Islamists and Israel. But also feel for one million jewish refugees from Islamic countries who were forced to leave their property and land. They found refugee in one and only tiny jewish state. You don't hear about them because Israel took care of them and assimilated them. Arabs in the other hand keep these palestinian arabs in refugee camps in purpose. 80% of Palestine is Jordan but Jordan keeps them in refugee camps!

  • @theromashka1 I can only talk about what I see in reality not what media feeds me, I am from Yemen and we still have Yemeni Jews that are not welling to leave their "HOMELAND ,YEMEN", after what they saw what happened to their relatives who went to what you call "Israel" where Arab Jews were treated a third class, not even. These Yemeni Jews have never been forced to leave their property and land in Yemen. They have all rights and duties that a Yemeni Muslim has.

  • @nas979 Thats a lie. In 1950's there was a mission of rescuing yemenit jews from Islamic prosecution!

  • @theromashka1 Excellent, I said I am from Yemen and LIVE WITH YEMENI JEWS NEXT DOOR, I can only speak English language not Media Language. Guess what we talk in the street, I am sure you are taking this as a surprise that we talk because all you have been feed is that Muslims and Jews kill each other. Any way my neighbour "the Jew" told me he and his family are NOT going to your "Israel". Also his grand parents flee from Europe at around the same time your mission came to rescue them.

  • @theromashka1 You said "you feel for a 1m Jews refugees from Islamic countries", let me tell you this, I feel for millions & millions of Jew refugees from Europe that saw their relatives murdered just because there were Jews. After realising that what they "the Europeans" did to those Jews was worse than a animal act they give them a land that is not in Europe, and feed you and many others info. that Arabic countries hate Jews. Have you ever heard of World War 2, I suggest you read about it.

  • @nas979 Arab countries and particularly muslim countries hate jews because it is in their religion. That's the reason why so called "palestinians" don't claim 70% of Palestine that lays in Jordan. Because Jordan is a muslim state! and because "palestinian" nation doesn't exist!

  • @theromashka1 Are you telling me that you don't hate anyone in your life???????? Hate my dear is a human nature, but nobody would reach a disgusting hate that would take over 50,000,000 lives that NEVER committed a crime, they were only born Jews.

    50,000,000 Jews were killed in front of their kids and parents, in the streets, in their own houses, in gas tanks, everywhere, what do you call this "LOVE TO DEATH"

    Sweet dreams my dear, and say hi to CNN, Fox News, BBC, and United Nation

  • @nas979 First of all just by reading your comments I can tell how poorly educated you are. it's not 50 million it's 6 million jews. And no matter who your neighbors are, jews were rescued from Yemen due to the islamic prosecution. It's a fact!

  • @theromashka1 And millions were killed due to European hate and this is a FACT. You and your nation took those lives, who is prosecuted for this?Stop hating Muslims, your parents did exactly the same to Jews not long ago.

    I see you dont know the reasons why "THERE" Israel was established shortly after WW2. Was it because suddenly the Muslims were weak or because Europe wanted to get rid of what they call "the dirty Jews" and locate them as far as possible and hit two birds with one stone.

    BBye

  • @theromashka1 ...oh..nas973 is very patient I wouldn't be..so there are only 6mil jews in the world??? don't call anyone uneducated it makes you looking silly..you should learn something about islam and religion in common before triing to have a discussion like this-fanatics and ignorants like you are the cancer of this world...you are entitled to have any opinion no matter how crazy it is, bu no one is entitled to tell such lies as you do..

  • @GorterPoss Palestinian nation doesn't exists! People who call themselves Palestinians are arabs from different corners of the Middle East. There was never a nation called "palestinians" and there was never a country called Palestine. Palestine is a british invention! Besides arabs already posses more then 80% of a geographic term called Palestine!

  • Capitalism, Corporate or State dominated or In It together is the wage slavery of immense humanity for abstract process of Capital accumulation and concentration for the elite, 250 top corporations control over 1/3 of the world GDP. More than 3 billion workers are on 2 dollars a day. Capitalism is template of perpetual war,oppression,enviornmental destructions,animal cruelty and suffering, A dehumanising distorting minority imposition in thier inatiable drive for ever more Profit no matter what

  • The land of the bible belongs to the people of the bible. Arabs climb your camels and go back to the desert where you belong. Let the Jewish people live in peace on their land. Arabs have enough lands.

  • Edward Said=Muslim terrorist

  • @JohnMichaels20 you're a moron

  • @JohnMichaels20 You should do humanity a favour and drown yourself.

    Edward Said was born to Protestant Christian parents.

    Don't forget to follow my advice. drown yourself you skinhead nazi

  • @andyx1205 he has said himself "his background is 'Arab-Islamic." he is a dhimmi at best

  • @JohnMichaels20 Your assertion is difficult to understand, let alone agree with. Perhaps you should elaborate. As a side note, in the interest of higher quality Youtube comments, I think you should try to back your claims with some kind of coherent argument.

  • I sympathise with Palestine but racism must not be the end product of this. There are Israelis who do not like what is happening and who help the Palestinians rebuild their homes, not to save face, but to keep the hope alive for future peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Do not falsely label ALL Israelis as Zionists or just Israelis as Zionists.

  • israel has no compassion indeed isrealians are REAL TERRORISTS

  • Israel is a rasist state, no better than Nazigermany.

  • @umhalil Dear umhalil, how do you differ in your opinion from mine as I expressed it in my comment to aghzizo. As i know you, we share the same opinions about israel. How do we differ on the nazis? I am aware that history is always written by the victors and that the allies committed warcrimes against german civilians too. What else please?

  • A german friend of mine, only half jokingly, used to say about the Israelis: "They learned from the best, they learned from us"

  • @LittlPussi do you mean that the Iraelis learn from the german...mmm are you german also no???

    any way..if somone learn some skills must not use them to burn and murder others like palastinian...its a pity..people dieing evry day..most of them children and women :-(

  • @aghzizo No, I am not german. I am from England. My friend tried to say that when they jews were victims of the nazis the zionists learned from that how to kill and repress on a modern scale. Neither him nor me thinks that that is a good thing. We condemn both nazi and israeli abuse of innocent civilians.

  • @LittlPussi Your german friend is a total moron!

  • What an apartheid original new unconventional democracy ...

    Israeli are terrorists and israel doesn't exist it is Palestine

  • @vionorino

    that is what I am talking about my brother friend... smile xoxox

  • Yes "guselsky", when Palestinians were in power... there was respect. There are people alive today to attest to that and recall being good friends and neighbors to one another (Jew, Christian & Muslim). I hope Peace can enter again.

  • what if the palestinians were in power? would they treat the jews with respect?

  • well when the jews were massacred in spain, they fled to the ottoman empire!

  • Okay, after reading a few comments about how Edward Said is almost a holy man or how he was almost sent by the devil, here's my comment.

    In stead of fighting, think. What do those people, israeli AND palestinian, live everyday in their lives? What is the name of that circle in Hell? and more importantly, HOW CAN HELL HAVE COME UPON THE EARTH??? how can men like us, loving our families and our friends, how can we wish for such hell to be brought upon someone? How can we be so inhuman?

  • With the experience of living through war, and post-war trauma of my region (Balkans) I think I can answer your question. Before you get into the war and killings you tell yourself, or the elites of your nation tell you "We are the good guys, and those others are vermin/rats/vampires/terrorist­s basically non-human. Therefor killing one of THEM is not a crime, you should not be punished if you kill a rat, you should not have it on you consciences, you did nothing wrong cos they are not humans

  • Eward Said is such a fake. His family were a middle/upper class family that left Palestine by their own choice before the Israeli war of independence. He is not always factually accurate and seems to think the Palestinians are blameless and blames all their problems on Israel. Never mind the corrupt PA, deadly and evil PLO, Fatah, and Hamas and the rest of the Arab world who put the Palestinians in ghettos and camps and refused to assimilate them and improvised them.

  • Nothing against Palestinians, but they weren't ethnically cleansed. 70% of the Palestinian refugees said they left without seeing a single Israel. There were between 400,000 and 700,000 refugees, not a million as the Arabs love to exaggerate. There were nearly a million Jewish refugees which the Arabs expelled and ethnically cleansed from their countries.

  • fool. utter fool. if you want a future for your people stop denying why they live in shit-because they can't stop trying to kill

  • Hey edward, is walking into a pizza shop with and denoting a bomb considered a war crime? I gues not eh? or is that Israel's fault also? HOW BOUT YOU STOP TRYING TO KILL ISRAELI CIVILIANS FOR A FEW YEARS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS? YOUD HAVE YOUR STATE SO FAST YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT HIT YOU BEFORE YOU TURN IT INTO SHIT ANYWAY

  • 9 israelis died in rocket attacks from pallestinians in a decade. In that time, 14 isreali soldiers died in the attacks of the israeli army. thousands of palestinians died in those raids as well. I'm just saying

  • @PalestinianSpartan well said!! I need a good edition in English of Darwish? Any ideas?

  • @PalestinianSpartan nice name, faggot.

  • @LongliveSnak2e Wtf does your name mean you smelly swiss

  • @PalestinianSpartan And let's say that's true. that justifies you to do the same?

    How stupid.

  • @PalestinianSpartan Zionists never ethnically cleansed nobody! It's a myth! Arab population in land of Israel was urged to leave by surrounding arabic countries under the promise to wipe Israel of the face of the Earth. Guess what?! Didn't work out!

  • @PalestinianSpartan

    My family is from Aleppo. My grandfather remembers neighbours were friendly, Sunni, Christian and Jewish. But people would come, other groups and government, and to kill members of the Jewish community without having reciprocation. We are indigenous to Israel. In Ottoman times the families moved north to Aleppo for business and safety. But Israel is always our home as it also is for Edward Said (a person who as an Israeli I also admire).

  • whoa! I feel bad for you dude, you need to make a visit seriously, I'll pay for your ticket and hotel stay

  • Comment removed

  • Mr. Said obviates to mention all the atrocities committed by the Palestinian leadership. Mr. Said, please, you could have been a little more objective, but you couldn't since you are a palestinian yourself.

  • Edward Said . You Will Remain Alive in our Hearts.

  • Ein echter Antisemit in seiner ganzen Pracht!

  • Thank God for a few good decent men such as EDWARD SAID who see the injustice in the world and try to make other aware.

  • April 10, 1948 Mr. Shepard Rifkin Exec. Director American Friends of the Fighters for the Freedom of Israel 149 Second Ave. New York 3,N.Y. Dear Sir: When a real and final catastrophe should befall us in Palestine the first responsible for it would be the British and the second responsible for it the Terrorist organizations build up from our own ranks [Jewish]. I am not willing to see anybody associated with those misled and criminal people. Sincerely yours, Albert Einstein
  • You can see in videos right here on you tube, Chomsky discussing Dershowitz's effective jihad against Finkelstein, etc also the debate between Finkelstein and Dershowitz where Norman wipes the floor with Dersho-joke.

  • Free Palestine

  • Anyone who studies history will see that Israel will one day be wiped off the map and Palestinians will live peacefully with the Jews as they did prior to Israel's existence. An oppressor state like Israel can't exist forever anyway. Even the Soviets were destroyed.

  • You're right. Eventually Zionism, like Nazism, Communism, Fascism, will be destroyed. A ideology so ridiculous and so extreme can not survive forever.

  • On the contrary, Israel will continue its occupation of Palestine so long as it has the unwavering support of Western powers. I can't see this changing anytime in the foreseeable future.

  • Hell, the Zionists thru the Jewish control of the US Federal Reserve Bank and the investments banks have nearly bankrupted the USA already. The end is not far off; and when USA is broken, the parasite will have to find a new host

  • Probably - and hopefully not - what would be far better would be for Israel to honour its international law obligations; and for a Palestinian state to be created. It would be the first step towards viable peace for both peoples.

  • Question:

    Why racist Israel and criminal Zionists are doing all they can to make jews (Anti zionists or zionists alike) to be hated?

    Answer:

    It is essential to know that zionism is totaly against what Judaism stands for.

    Israelis can only justify their crimes by puting the blame on their victimes. Doing so they will fool anyone to think that not only their actions(killing and oppression of palestinians) are legitimate but this brutal occupation is justified.

  • @beaujam90 my question is...why no one in this world can judge israel for its war crimes???

    strange

  • Comment removed

  • @aghzizo Every country in the world is affraid of a racist Israel as it controls the USA using the AIPAC and a powerful propagada machine which is own by the jews.

    The west is a partner in crimes with racist Israel as it still want to colonize the world or at least dominate it all.

  • @beaujam90 its true..i agree with you...and israel own many companies of weapons they wish wars around the world so they can sell more weopons

    israel comes in the midel of the world like a cancer...

  • @aghzizo Racist Israel should give up its racist , criminal and colonialist policies.

    Zionism is fashism.

    Palestine will be free, zionists should get use to this idea.

  • @aghzizo If not by any other means before, Israel will be crushed as a Zionist state by the higher birthrate of its arabian population inside its own borders. It will take quite some time, but it will happen.

  • @beaujam90 Mohammad Amin al-Husayni Arabic: محمد أمين الحسيني‎ - Mufti of Jerusalem 1921

    to German Reich

    " Germany and Italy recognize the right of the Arab countries to solve the question of the Jewish elements, which exist in Palestine and in the other Arab countries, as required by the national and ethnic (völkisch) interests of the Arabs, and as the Jewish question was solved in Germany and Italy."

  • hahahahaha

    So did the US in 1988. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

  • no they didxnt, get your nose in a book. It was one of the few countries to actually legalize torture....

  • Mr. Dershowitz, cute user name. Don't you have a law class to teach? Finkelstein already debunked your books. You can take your "ended torture" and stick it.

  • Finkelstein's so called "debunk" was debunked. Finkelstein is a loser who can't get tenure anywhere he goes because he's so full of shit.

  • Beyond Chutzpah was not "debunked;" it is full of fact from the historical record. You are as deluded as Dershowitz. Anyone can look for themselves at the Dershowitz-Finkelstein debate right here on You Tube, or just go to B'Tselem website yourself, and the UN website, Amnesty International, HRW, to see that he is telling the truth and it is AIPAC and the ADL twisting things and lying.

  • Yes it was. Go to the boston globe website and search "academic fight heads to print" it explains that Harvard University, who published the book, investigated the matter and concluded that there was no plagiarism. Frankenstein is a holocaust denier, you shouldn't take anything he says seriously.

  • You are seriously deluded. Not only has Finkelstein NEVER denied the holocaust, you simpleton, his own parents were holocaust survivors, and he himself has studied and written about the holocaust in some detail. So #1) You lie when you say Finkelstein denies the holocaust; he does not. Secondly, Harvard did not investigate anything; they aquiesed to their criminally zionistic snake of a law professor, one of O.J. 's defense team, BTW, the unscrupulous Alan Dershowitz.

  • He may not deny that Jews were rounded up, but he does deny the severity of the matter that hard honest evidence does support. Any you can't just say every source you disagree with is some Zionist conspirator. With you people, the New York Times is run by Jews, the Wall Street Journal is run by Jews, the American Government is run by Jews. But when it comes to claims of some terrorist front organization, the evidence is indisputable for you. Its pathetic.

  • When did I ever say any source I disagree with is a zionist "conspirator?" Zionists aren't conspirators; they believe in their ideology; nothing is hidden. BTW many reputable sources are Jewish; B'tselem, Chomsky, Finkelstein, etc. Not all Jewish persons are zionists. I think you are confusing zionism with Judaism, or being of Jewish heritage.

  • yep..people do that to much...im anti zionist and i have jewish family

  • Finkelstein's mother was a survivor of Majdanek; and he draws a clear distinction between the actual Holocaust/Final Solution, as opposed to the political interpretations and misrepresentations of it. The fact that Harvard exonerated Dershowitz is to their deep discredit - the plagiarism charge was valid and supported by evidence; and yet Finkelstein lost his tenure as a result. What a sorry mess.

  • You are full of dirt. Nay! You are dirt yourself.

  • good one

  • thanks

  • Fuck you . and hitler

  • The Palestinian conflict should not be reduced to terms like "extremism" or "insurgency." They have a real reason to be pissed off and any of us would act the same way in their situation.

  • What can be a reason for you to kill anyone?

  • Hell if I know. That's you and me though. We can't really expect miracles.

  • The Palestinian conflict illustrates the best example of Extremism. Killing people around you for your traditional values, or defending values which you aren't even aware of; in addition to extremism is stupidity.

  • The reason, u ask? How about the illegal occupation of your country, driven away from your home, forced to live in refugee camps for more than 6 decades, having your human rights violated, being forced to live in a ghetto with a wall around your neighborhood, (much like the ghettos during WWII)? I'd say this so called "extremism" is a natural reaction. It's their only way of fighting back, and if the israelis don't like it they should allow the palestinians to form an army instead.

  • Well my brother, I guess you didnt get the point!?

    Extremism doesnt cover or mean only islamic one. As a term it means a person or people who hold extreme views. Therefore, when you look at the conflict, both sides share the same view. I didnt talk about one side of the dice, but both..

    I hope you got my point!?

  • given the enormity of the cruelty Israel has inflicted on the Palestinians since the beginning of the occupation, i'd say that this extremism you speak of is decidedly one-sided. after all, what's a suicide bomber in comparison to F-18 fighter jets that can literally wipe out hundreds of people with a single bomb? perhaps you should get your facts straight before making such generalized comments based on little more than ignorance.

  • Just on the other side of this wall -

    is my land. I have a large olive orchard and I grow strawberries and melons.

    My crops were exported to Europe.

    My neighbor is a truck driver. He had plenty of work delivering Palestinian goods.

    Life was good once. Simple. Calm. Peaceful.

    Now there are walls, curfews, checkpoints, military, murder, injustice.

    A wall cut me off from my land and settler hyenas from Russia stole it.

    I just have this illegal wall and misery now.

    Thanks so much israel!

  • israel is a nazi state

  • Israel is commiting war crimes. It has been brutal and cruel, shortsighted and violent. However it is being asked to be better than any other nation state. It is barely 60 years old and is lightyears ahead of every other country in the region. The collective Arab world has never recognised Palestine or their right for national aspriations. So we need to discuss Palestinian emancipation but must never forget that there is a war of hate and destruction being waged against Israel worldwide

  • @bpatrice49 Terrorists committing war crimes against Israelis and arab Palestinians. Israeli army is professional army and does the best in it's power to prevent civilian casualties. Free Palestine from Islamic Terror!

  • sure many negative comments about palestine and positive comments blindly supporting israel. people delibrately are not trying to find the truth. they want to be blind on purpose.

  • dancheb- they didn't. They are in refugee camps because of Israel's forceful eviction of palestinians from their home of 2,000 years by the new european jewish immigrants. Many have been forced to live in other countries and het citizneship. Others remain in refugee camps in the ;territories and neighbouring countries because they refuse to give up their UN recognised right to return to their homeland. Israel's supporters know this- the palestinian refugees will not give up their right to return

  • Israel violates human rights through adopting an aggressive policy against the palestinians by occupying a land that does not belong to them , killing children imposing siege against Gaza and launching airstrikes in Gaza killing over 200 and wounding 600 the Arabs and the Muslim world must join their forces it's time to get united to kick the Israelis out of palestine and out of the Arab world

  • Edward Said is nothing more that what is called intelectual terrorists, liar or the first kind! A Lout, in his own words.

  • Palestine was never an Arab county nor that it was a soveriegn power ever. It was merely a region which was assigned to and legally awarded to the Jewish people after the fall of the Ottoman Empire because the nation recognized its historical connection to the Land. The Arabs recieved the lion share of the Near East but that's not enough for them, they are greedy. The arabs posses 5 million sq. Miles and the Jews barely 10,000 sq. miles. More than 4 million sq. miles was never belong to ARAB.

  • The Zionists have no right to Palestinian land, under international law. Their Nazi lebensraum policy has destroyed any hope of a two-state solution. The International Court has denounced Israel

    The Judeo-Nazis are committing genocide against the Palestinians.Their blockade of Gaza and the ghettoes they have forced the Palestinians into, in the West Bank are a violation of international law

    The Zionists are the Nazi colonisers, thieves and terrorists inspired by Hitlerian ideology.

  • The Nazi here is you, Ms. HelenBransgrove, I feel sorry for you living in a lie and denial. That is why they Arabs now called Palestinian failed to create a state of their own despite the ample opportunities. Palestine was never an Arab country, google it.

  • Where are you calls for tolerance in relation to Arab states that kicked Pal. Arabs out and slaughtered thousands of them?

  • Correct again. I see you've studied that situation well.

  • The Jews came from Europe, cretin. What right do they have to one square inch of Arab land?

    The Zionists cannot accept the only decent solution - a multi-ethnic, secular state with equal rights for all, Jews, Arabs, Christians.

    The "Eretz Israel" doctrine is based on religious mumbo jumbo only retards and children would accept.

  • Degenerate - jews have been living in Palestine and surrounding areas for thousands of years. Due to Roman, Persian and Muslim conquests many Jewish tribes have been disseminated around the world, but many have stayed around. The al-aqsa mosque in Jerusalem stands in the place of what previous site? Zionists want a country where Jews are not intimated and can freely exercise their religion without being second class citizens or in fear of being repressed.

  • Only it would not end up a secular state. The muslim majority would vote for shariah and the Jews would end up dhimmis.

    Would you like being a dhimmi?

  • Your opinion is correct.

    "Tel Aviv police seize Israeli-Arab boat set to deliver aid to Gaza

    By Yuval Goren and Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondents and News Agencies

    Tags: Israel news, humanitarian aid

    Israeli police on Sunday foiled an attempt by Israeli Arabs to set off in a boat from Israel to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip with a cargo of food and medical supplies

    Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip has been stepped up in recent weeks"

    Israel is committing genocide!

  • Free palestine

  • with all due respect, you are a complete idiot!

    Palestine has a right to exist even more then america does since Palestinians didn't steal their land from any native people the way white americans did. Israel has far less legitimacy even then white south africa and it will eventually be eliminated just like south african apartheid!

    LONG LIVE PALESTINE AND LONG LIVE EDWARD SAID !

  • look on you tube for: SARA ROY

  • Google: Edward Said Professor of hate, lies and terror.

    Said is a par excellance distortionist! He blames the firefighter not the arsonist. Despicable Said!

  • and today you americans or jews feel better and save from hate terrorism and you never lie??? remember Bush when he lied to the entire world about iraqi necularpower, killed thousands of american yung soldiers and hundred of thousands of iraqi civilians. Only Edward Said was a lier in your dump mcdonalds head.

  • Oh,...and the illegal Occupation is not based on racism, territorial theft, mass torture even of children, Nazi style Lebensraum and depiction of the Palestinians as sub-human by the Judeo-Nazi state to justify its genocidal policies and ongoing colonisation.

    You Zionists don't even look after your own Holocaust survivors. Israel would rather bomb civilians than feed and care for its Survivors who demonstrated outside the Knesset last year, saying they could not afford one warm meal a day.

  • The illigal occupation is by by the Arabs who you now call 'Palestinians'. In fact the Jewish were called palestinians prior to 1948 and the Arabs used to not only despise the word but also said that it was a Zionists invention. Arabs colonized the Near East, they should all go back to the Arabian peninsula, that is Saudi Arabia where they initially came from. Palestine was never an Arab country, google it. Shame on you, Ms. HelnBransgrove. Isarel has excelled despite all the horror she suffered

  • The Arab worlds obsession with Israel merely masks fundamental problems within that world. Israel is home to 50 million the rest of the middle east is 550 million. It is a functioning democracy surrounded by enemies. Said makes no mention of Syria Egypt or Lebanon's total disregard for the Palestinian people. You can live in fantasy or accept that the tragedy of palestine is a result of aggression on behalf of the opek states and Israels fearsome responses.

  • Israel is not important. It's the size of Maryland. Brazil has 200 million people and has nearly the same amount of land as the U.S. The American media ignores Brazil as they focus an inordinate amount of coverage on Israel.

  • O que você sabe sobre o Brazil?

    What do ya know about Brazil?

  • Brazil is the U.S.'s counter-weight.

  • "Kind of"; "sort of" & "you know" riddle our conversations. It's a step backward.

  • Good to see Edward Said, and Chaim Shur makes some very fine points as well-an Israeli speaking out against the injustices in Palestine, and there are more like him than we realise.

  • you are great Mr. Edward Said, I admire your strength and courage!

  • you my friend, are an ignorant fool. Who are you to say that one life is more valuable than another. Go fuck yourself

  • Israel must return the stolen territories

  • inchallah i hope he is in heaven

  • Dr. Said...The world is in neeed of such intelectual accomplished with a cause, not paid for beign a simple specialist, or a far away "scholar". Palestine must exist ! Palestine Free!!!!

  • Read his book Orientalism. It is a must-read!

    May Allah have mercy on his soul

  • Says who? You?

    Go jump in the lake buddy !

    If you or anyone else do not like Palestinians or Palestine, you all can all go to hell where you belong!

    You must be a typical dirty jew!

    Go back to your stinking camps in europe where you belong!
