  • Silenced? NOT!! He answered in a calm, relaxed and measured way. Also, "scrappy"? how so? I also did not see him 'suffer' and the use of the word 'Horrendous' is not an accurate description of the exchange. Jews who challenge Israel simply present a problem for Zionists that they dont know how to handle. Telling the truth is unpopular i guess.

  • yeah, I think the "questioner" was coming at Judt in a accusational and vendetta like manner, that was more revealing of him, rather than revealing anything about Judt.

  • this is how they work. its the name and the label that matters, the book cover not the book, the headline not the paper. They know they are perpetrating a scam.

  • Tony Judt was a remarkable man, who died much too young. His work remains remarkable. I wish this questioner could give Judt back the 10 minutes of his life he wasted.

  • the guy recommended a better role model for judt to choose. that was weak. then the questioner says "that's your interpretation" and Judt responds by telling him an exact QUOTE by the israeli president. shut down. lol.

  • the poster and the questioner are both fools... no rationale behind it. and Judt shut them both down. He's very smart.

  • I guess the only silence comes from tha shitty microphone. The only thing the questioner did was question his motives and thats it.

  • well the guy who posted this was a fucking moron

  • Israel does try to say that it speaks for all jews. It seeks to link anti-zionism with anti-semitism. The world is bored with Israel's deceipt and wants Israel to grow up, before Arab hordes bury them.

  • The traitor is now dead.

    One less offensive piece of dirt to deal with.

    Next will come Chomsky, Amy Goodman and Finkelstein; more self-hating Jews.

  • @volapuk49 Well when it comes to hatred, you seem happy to spread it.

  • @volapuk49 - Care to visit Hebron? No Jewish toilets there. 400 Jews fling all waste on Arabs walking in the streets below. When Arabs leave, more shit-slingers move in. House by house, street by street. It's the Jewish way.

  • @volapuk49 ....the same way early Israel attacked innocent villages

    and killed everyone....even all the children.....?...and as a California

    rabbi recently said, that's the real way to get your " enemies "

    sounds pretty SICK to me.....get therapy or become a Christian,

    remember, from a Jewish guy ?!

  • "Tony Judt is "Silenced" at Boston College"

    Others call it listening and responding to personal attacks without rambling and name calling the person asking the question.

    Funny how someone would post this as if the person asking the questions put him in his place.

    To bad they did not provided his whole response.

  • Judt 1... other guy 0

  • lmfao 0:08 he gives the finger to the judge.

  • The point is not that Israel is somehow an embarrassment. The point is that the concept of a nation-state based on a religion, as Israel is, is an anachronism in the modern first world.

  • The questioner obviously has a hard-on for Tony.

    His question is rehearsed to the point where he comes off sounding self-conscious, desperate, and confused; could it be that this is the moment he realizes he has a crush on Tony, thus throwing him into a homosexual panic?

    The title of this video is apropos to nothing. Did you even watch the video before you posted comment?

  • @cliklab Not to mention pretentious.

  • Prof Judt is not silenced at all. Who on earth penned the title for this video?

  • Compared to the questioner, he does seem silent. On another level, the questioner, as someone with obvious connection to the powerful and influential, presents a well spoken 'self-hating jew' statement. Self-hating patriot is the next vein of sympathy for pathetic foreign policy by the U.S. and it's entrenched 'values' of late. We are already building the wall on the border. Next will be the Canadian demarcation zone. Quite a road map Israel.

  • It's a great sadness that one is unable to properly hear Tony Judt speaking in the video. I have only recently encountred his writings which I have found illuminating and deeply thought provoking. I think his views on Isreal are entirely on the mark. They maybe contentious for those with firm and inflexible views but they are neither vindictive nor cruel. Rather they are the expressed views of a man with a thoroughly modern mind. What a sadness that he has died.

  • R.I.P Tony Judt. You will be missed.

    Good response to a silly question... "It almost seems like that's what resonates in your soul" (laughable)

  • Zionist pros as usual active in the public speech domain (such as fora). "The ennemie is everywhere"

    Prof Judt, R I P.

  • @rachelgolem Hey Golem! Why don't you go schmegel away and go write racist shit against Black people like you did about Cynthia Mckinney?

    Coward!

  • Tony Judt is not silenced, he is a fair discutant and listens to his counter part.

    Stupid propaganda video. typicall for the israel lobby

  • Zionists are just pigs that use the holocaust to justifiy their vile actions against the Palestinians. I have nothing against Jews.

  • When a word appears in quotes, such as the word "silenced" in this instance, it is to indicate irony, that the exact opposite concept of the word is meant to be conveyed. You must study what irony and its cousin sarcasm mean, note instances of it in your daily life including how you yourself use it, before making such uninformed comments in a public forum.

    Btw, Judt rules.

  • Wow, thanks. Actually Judt is vindicated through this video. It's great watching it.

  • I've given this video a "Poor" rating for no other reason than that it's false advertising. ("Tony Judt is 'Silenced'"). If everyone on YT would do the same, hopefully we'll get less of this silly nonsense.

  • A jew trying to control another jew. Nothinh special. A jew that doesent support Israel is an enlightened jew.

  • Comment removed

  • @SexyBack887 SexyBack, your name says it all; but where's the brain?

    That Jews are often in the forefront of the critics of Zionism and the unjust policies of Israel (Chomsky, Judt, et al.) does the Jewish culture some credit, no? So, we see: There are many Jewish critics of Israel.

    Sadly, one of the results of Israel's iniquity is the recrudescence of ignorant anti-Semitism. And, a "jew (sic) that doesn't support Israel" is like Bob Herbert criticizing Obama, an enlightened human being!

  • I don't think the questioner is quite arrogant enough.

  • What has the lesser-spotted global conspiracy of fanatical secular humanist extremist Nazi Maoists got to do with anything? Do you need us to call a doctor or can you manage?

  • hay que ser tonto para titular el video asi.

  • How is he "silenced"? The questioner attempted to browbeat Judt with boorish speculation as to his motives in criticizing Israel and Mr. Judt responded with eloquent aplomb, notwithstanding the fact that one couldn't hear him very well. Perhaps that was the "silencing"!

  • @princeandrey That's why "silenced" is probably in quotes.

  • @princeandrey --Maybe the title is a play on words, referring to the difference between the microphone settings (chosen by Boston College?), that practically "silenced" Mr. Judt, while providing the questioner a setting that BLASTS our ears.

  • @princeandrey: Neither does it follow that all speculation is false as well as it doesn't follow that all speculation is false. By the way: can you prove who burned down the Reichstag yet? Since it's speculation that it was done by the Nazis as well as it's speculation that it was done by the German Resistance.

  • @princeandrey "The questioner attempted to browbeat Judt with boorish speculation as to his motives in criticizing Israel..." Isn't this browbeating with boorish speculation? Not the Israelis but the Israeli "government" like any other "government" not only has to be questioned - but the existence of a government (everywhere on this world) at all has to be questioned. "Even" ants are more forwarded - since they're organized in p2p networks, in clouds - and are the dominant biomass on earth.

  • If this is supposed to make Tony Judt look bad then it fails spectacularly.

  • @m0ses1 Yes, you're both quite right. I stand corrected, though it is a bit subtle for a forum such as Youtube, but "silenced" is certainly used in irony. By the way, I love the way someone used the word discutant here. And I'm not being ironic.

  • you cant hear Judt-he's not miked properly for this video.

  • Silenced? How? When? Quite the opposite in fact.

  • The title of this video is a joke!!!!

    Silenced me bollox !

  • I don't really see how Prof. Judt was silenced.

    I think the title is misleading.

  • does anyone know the name of the guy who asked the question to tony

  • The Debate between Dinesh D'Sousa and professor Wolfe was also censored. Even the report about this censorship which appeared on Fox news and was posted on you tube was censored from YouTube. Boston College appears to be overtaken by fanatic secular humanist extremists who use the tool of censorship just as their heros of the past did- Stalin, Mao, Hilter, and communist governments of the world.

  • LOL how is he "silenced"? The point he made in his article was that one of the flaws in Zionism has been one its establishment of a government which claims to represent the entire Jewish diaspora and yet is incapable of doing so. That's a perfect benign and uncontroversial point.

  • We are sure Isreali's Gov, One of the most Evil in the world.

  • Can you imagine me a jamican girl who attended a primary school called Hillel Academy founded by the jewish community in Jamaica -one of the oldest communities in the "New World", I find Tony Judt an archangel in the world of free thinkers he is human , a man , a jewish man , not just saying "yeah yeah" (meeh meeh)like the rest of the worlds 'sheep !! Not to mention the sound quality sucks ..but still doesn't play in the obnoxious interviewers favour!!!

  • he is totally right,

  • Can't hear.

  • erm... perhaps the "silenced" in the title is referred to the adjusted volume of prof. judt's audio that, to me, appears lowered... and certainly that would be the only way in which the questioner could silence the prof.

  • The embarassment are jews like the one "asking the question" and the millions who support Israel's criminal policies toward the Palestinians. Tony Judt and decent people like him, will always fight to end Israel injustices.

  • Albert Einstein did not want a state of Israel and wanted to live side by side with the arabs. He criticized the mistreatment of the arabs before 1948. He was not well liked in the zionist community.-- I learned about the newest biography of Albert Einstein.

  • beacuse he was a man with great inteligence, not like zionist, agressive nazi idiots

  • where the hell is the av club when you need them?

  • At what point exactly was Judt "silenced"? Seems to me the guy asking the question was a complete rambling ass and Judt put him in his place.

  • @gabouchka  I second you're comment, it seems it common theme with Israeli supporters.

  • The guy just rambles on incoherently without acturally asking a question thinking hes so smat! Go Tony!

  • what the fuck I can't hear anything

  • The guy should have had a separate directional micro for Judt or aimed the one he was using for himself at him.

  • I suspect whoever made the video doesn't want you to hear Judt.

  • Judt wins!

  • Israel had it's nakbah too. It was in 1977 when the revisionist branch of zionism came to power for the first time with the likud party: Begin, Shamir etc. That was the beginning of the end for Israel. This is so sad! Today there is no way back! There is no way the 250000 people living on the other side of the green line will move peacefully. There is no way the humiliation and anger of the Palestinian population can be repaired. Israeli fascism has killed the zionist project! What a shame!!!!

  • End the Pakistani occupation of Indian land.

  • mshireyankee what a complete twat you are. Learn your history before you sprout such silly bullshit. Palestine is their home. Educate your mind, the jews treat the people of palestine like caged dogs and you are ok with that, are you. I take it you wouldnt fight back if your town was walled in and your neighbours killed with 2,000 pound bombs dropped from the sky. I suppose you wouldnt fight back with any shitty means possible. Come on grow up its Israel that has to answer for its war crimes

  • I need a bit more contextual info. Can't figure out what this video is about.

  • Tony Judt completely owned whoever was asking the questions.

  • If American Jews do nothing to stop Israel´s criminal actions, how can they critizise or judge the German People for not having stopped Hitler?????? They allow and support Israel´s policies because the majority as racist fanatics who believe. There are only a handfull of brave and decent men such as Tony Judt, Norman Finkelstein and ilan Pappe (all of them Jewish) who dare to stand against Israel´s crimes.

  • Why should they stop israel's attrocity, they suffered didn't they... ? :-)

    Too bad i guess they didn't suffer at the hands of the Palestinians or the muslims... at least then they're arguement would have probably been relevant.

  • What Israel is doing will eventually come to haunt it. There is a thing called "Karma", if you harm someone destiny inevitably has a way of doing the same to you. So I guess that inevitably in the future there will be more jewish persecutions and maybe another holocaust (remember: history repeats itself)and people instead of standing against it, will remember what jewish people have done to the palestinians.

  • The Jews in Israel are doing nothing wrong. They are protecting their own land. They have every right to do whatever they want to do to the the Palestinians. So many inocent Jews are being kiled by Palestinian suicide bombers. Palestinians should stop complaining because they have their own country. It is called Jordan!

  • My friend, you are a case in point. Your ignorance on the subject is obvious. Instead of reading books your opinions are based on what you have been told and the one sided news you receive. The Israeli government counts on that ignorance and that fanaticism. Since you do not read, look for ilán pappe on you tube or see: Palestine 05: part 1/2 and Palestine 05: part 2/2

    or read "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" by Mr. Pappe, it is a good start.

  • you are completely and utterly brainwashed !!! people like you disgust me !!! how could the jewish community support this madness when not many years ago they themselves were being persecuted the same way by Hitler!?!? and now you hide behind the false ideals that people are being antisemetic with this "either your with or against us" mentality, you should be ASHAMED!!! FUCKIN FASCIST AND ZIONIST PIGS !!!!

  • How the hell do europeans, who lived in europe for millenias claim Palestine to be there land, aside from god's promise what justification is there.

    The Caananites and the phoenecians were there before the jews (both semetic people btw)... and the "arabs" came after. Now the thing is arabs are now the descedants of the Caananites, phoenecians, philistinians babylonians AND the arabs of arabia etc...

    99% of non jewish Semetic people are what u today call ARABS... PALESTINIANS (arabs of palestine)

  • Caananites...babylonians etc...

    That said the arab cultural and geographic identity has inherited what these other peoples (such as those mentionned above) once were. Meaning that if u actually examine the different arabs from morrocco to Iraq ull find the traces of many different groups of peoples...

  • No asshole Jordan is not their country. Fucker u don't tell a person born in Jaffa or Jerusalem and who was kicked out forcibly, a person who's family has lived there for centuries and centuries that he belongs in Jordan.

    U belong in Germany ashkenazi

  • Judt's a wonderful fellow.

  • Smart guy: nuts on the idea of a one state solution!

    Itzik Basman

  • I wish normal everyday Jews would realize that the actions of Israel, AIPAC, ADL et al. are hurting them so bad. They're creating antisemitism by calling everyone an antisemite. And there encouraging conspiracy theories by lying and suppressing debate.

  • for far too many these days, to be a jew, particularly in the US, is to be moved by the holocaust..this leads to people acting like nazis to prevent Nazism.dangerous and ludicrous. Hitler used the media to brainwash everyone, as soon as everyone accepts that the media is better than anyone else's view, or more revealing than any other source, then that will only lead to tyranny.AND HAS

  • this jewish idiot believes that israel is a democracy that you must vote for who we tell you to vote for factually stopping aid via amnesty interpal redcross because they did not vote for abass.and in created israel proper cristian and muslims dont have a vote.

  • Israel is a democracy? What happened to the dude who let it slip that Israel has nukes

  • The interviewer smugly remarked that Tony and his friends take no risk by speaking out their opinions of Israel, outrageously implying cowardice. Obviously he risks a great deal by virtue of the fact that fanatics attempt to slander his reputation or possibly even threaten them with violence if they continue to speak out.

  • Youre aggressive antagonism is only going to isolate you further from the rest of the world including allies such as evangelical Christians too. You should take up a more Ghandi-like policy instead!

  • Tony Judt, like many intellectuals and college professors shows that high IQ does not equate top smart

  • Is calumny all youve got? Tony's the most rational voice to challenge your violent campaign to control Judea.

  • Israel gave back 100% of Gaza. It is free of Jews. so they launched rockets at and shot people in Israel. why wuld leaving Judea and Samaria be any damned different?

  • The difference would be that if the Israelis and even some of the Palestinians were to emmigrate to the US and Canada, there wouldnt be any excuse by Jihaders to attack them. Im proposing that the region within 75 miles of Jerusalem be converted into a shrine.

  • That includes Tel Aviv.

    When Jordan controlled the Old City of Jerusalem, they woudln't let Jews in to visit holy places despite treaties saying that they would. since Israe ahs contorlled it, virtually anoyone who wants can visit.

    Who is going to listen to your proposal?

  • You, along with your hawkish compatriots obviously lack faith in God. When He is ready he will bestow the real Jerusalem and its component regions to all believers. Until then all (including Christians & Moslems) should simply convert the region into a shrine that reflects our belief in God. Atheists should stay out and quit the antagonism. Innocent blood has spilled in this conflict and atrocities committed by all!

  • this talker with back to camera is really tiresome.

    when o when will we cleanse the world of this scum?

  • How come the questioner has a better microphone than the guest speaker?
