Mahmoud Al Zahar - The Doha Debates - Part 1

[gilgolefanim]

The Palestinian leaders are the biggest liars and hypocrites the world have even seen

[southsidetoo]

lol the guy does not answer are question just gives excuses

sorry but once you lose a war Israel had all the right to take any land it wanted as it won as that how most country are made

Palestine stopped existing the second the 7 day war started

[alexusdelarge]

@sam7748, Israel is Jewish land.. The Jewish people have only a little peace of land whereas the Arabs have much, much more... It's not about land, but greed.... The love of self...

The problems with the doctrine of Islam is that it hates non-muslims. If it wasn't for islam, there wouldn't be that much problems.

Islam is a cancer. A demonic, dark, satanic disease, from the heart of hell...

[muthich]

manipulative questioning = propaganda broadcasting programme

[SithSereyPheap1]

Mahmoud !! just stand the fuck up and walk away.This is not an interview,it's a bias interrogation...

[SithSereyPheap1]

The fucking interviewer sound a bit bias to me.He kept interrupting before the man had the chance to get a word in.If you don't want to hear the man speak,why then do you want to conduct the fucking interview ? mind your manner !!!

[shafransky]

Мерзкая хамасовская тварь

[hassanibnali]

K this is no interviewer, he's a debating bully. Maybe if the whole thing is done in Arabic ie the language of the interviewee concerned in the interview, tim sebastian will end up not liking it one bit.

[MrPiccolop]

It's embarassing to watch this kind of mediation. Bet you the Al Thani sponsored foreign agenda is behind this. In lIbya, a hand in Bahrain, Syria. I think i'll be seeing you outside the Bank of Qatar in London again... Come on. Anyone who knows anything about debates this is more of a grilling than a debate.

[WinkyMaeve]

let him answer before interrupting, idiot british gentile

[precal22]

This is extremely one-sided

[K12999]

this interviewer sucks,I do not like this Mahmoud Al Zahar but I am always interested to hear the other side

[samhalim55]

This interviewer and people like him, killed millions of innocent people in ww1 and ww2 and viet nam war and 20 other wars like iraq and afghanistan. And because people like Zahar, zionists wil never live with peace.

[murderedboy]

This guy sucks at interviewing, seriously, let the guy answer, before you attack him.

[HKKR112]

Religion: The root of all evil

[alnabriss]

I think that Iran only can solve this problem, it can heal the pain and remove the cancer

[Honeysucklebommie]

I see both sides and take on none of them.

As far as this interview goes I see the Humas guy instantly sideline the real answer that is being sought. He tries to quantify a justification as to why he is a killer of innocent people many his own countrymen, the same as Israel are stone wall killers too.

Blame is simply an excuse to continue.

Each man on each side will be finally judged only by his works not by excuses.The real heros are the medics on both sides.

[iqqy2007]

Oh...Tim Sebastian! Oh...you unfair western media....How unfair you are...

Any impartial observer...decide for yourself...look at how the interviewer doesn't give an option to the Hamas leader to answer. He just goes on and on with his questions as if he is making a speech and not really interested in answers. I have seen many of his interviews (BBC HardTalk) but he has never been this much aggressive and abusive. Please be fair, world media!

[MegaMooseballs]

ISNT THAT HAMAS GUY DEAD NOW?

[slonikny]

I wonder if any Arab living in Israel would want to live under rule of this monkey if he becomes a president. I don't think you'd find even one among a million.

[Dangermouse6340]

that pig of a host is bias........we should kick him out of the show......kuss ammu....i would have slapped the bitch.....his not giving the muslim guy a chance to talk

[meleszenawi1111]

sam7748 as a jew I agree they have broken article 49 of the geneva conventions time and again. Down with Israel.

[sam7748]

This is new style of interviewing that is becoming popular in the media: Ask a question, but don't really give the other person time to respond. Complex issues cannot be understood with this kind of rapid-fire questioning.

Leaving aside all the BS, the plain fact is that it is Israel that is occupying Palestinian land, and every people has the right to resist OCCUPATION. End of discussion.

[donazzura]

@sam7748 Israel got that land from Egypt and Jordan. Why didn't those countries grant Palestinians their own country? Because the Palestinians want ALL of Israel and will continue attacking it even if Israel ends occupation of West Bank and blockade of Gaza. It is fundamental that Palestinians accept Israel and stop attacking it.

[Boazhorribilis]

This man is a pathological liar. He obviously has no compassion for his own people and is only interested in blaming everybody. It is always THEY, whoever they are, to be blamed. Nobody can make peace with a weasel like this.

[passenger9411]

Let this man talk! I can barely watch this.

[shakeel852]

This host is obviously a prick, he doesn't acknowledge that in Israel everyone over the age of 18 are required to serve in the army. Therefore, comparing the slaughter of palestinian civilians to Israel off-duty soldiers is unfair

[rhomas913]

Well...the Hamas representative is saying that they can target civilians since Israel targets civilians. It is this eye for an eye mentality of Islam and Judaism that will never lead to peace in Palestine.

True and Hamas has said that Israeli children will grow up to be Israeli soldiers so attacking them is legitimate.

The host is well known (from BBC's Hardtalk) for keeping his interviewees on-point and off-balance. I am sure the guest knew what he was in for.

[jihadhamideh]

يجب أن يسمى بالكذاب

[jihadhamideh]

هذا الشخص هو مجرم وقاتل كان من الأجدر له أن يتكلم باللغة العربية لأن لغته الإنجيلزية سيئة للغاية بشكل معيب ومخزي ، هذا الشخص لا يمثل إلا المسيئين والجاهلين من الفلسطنيين وإتجاه الشيطان المتربع على عرش القتل والسلطة الدموية

[emadzenky]

this man man is not a liar , he is good man who struggles for plastine's freedom. he tried his best to talk in an english debate. he have sacrificed what you can't.....his two sons were killed by israel.

[amareto35]

70% of the oil that world consumes come from the Gulf of Arabia. Imagine if just the three high rolers, The Saudis, Kuwaits, and the UAE.. not to cut off the gas to the US, but just sell their gas Euros instead of dollar. I guarantee you Arabs will see a big change. The biggest threat to Muslims are not Isaraelians or Americans, but the Arab regimes. Don't point a finger to anybody if you arab or Muslim but your corrupted regimes.

[nural666]

its a fact that french ressetens fight against nazi,and they killed german civlians ,are they been calld terroris?

[Lander123Gal]

Bottom line is these stuiped debate shows are highly biased and stuiped. Why is this old idiot talking to this dignified man as if his a serial killer. He is speaking with the wrong guy, he should get one of them coward animals with no mercy in the israeli parliment or one of them zionist like the head of defence or the army in Israel and do the vice versa to them, cuz their the real killers.

[nilo723]

is israel has the balls to attack IRAN, today israel would have been wiped off the map and the jews, christians and muslims could live in peace in Palestine..

[liquidus2172]

agreed!

[YHChickita]

Is everyone in the muslim world an idiot?? The only reason Hamas fights with Israel is to stay relevant. They feed of hate and fear and kill Palestinians themselves for only one reason. Because if they don't cause chaos, people would ask them about their political policies for education, health, job creation and everyone would know they are a useless terrorist organization.

[gohomeman123]

but just go one step further. who is responsible for the chaos in gaza. israel claims to bomb hamas so that the situation will improve, however you have just stated that it has the opposite effect. in other words israel gives hamas its political power.

i don't find this surprising since it was sharon who encouraged the creation of hamas, as a counterbalance to fatah. israel likes hamas to be in power so that it cannot progress in the peace process.

[Hollandtourist1]

America and Israel do the same. Isn't 911 just a good lesson from that way of thinking? What is America's biz to come to Iraq or any other middle eastern country are they a part of USA? Let the people there do what they like even bomb each other non of other countries biz.

[Haqq360]

The only reason they fight... Is well they are FORCED to fight.

Protection, Security... Maybe if you walked through the borders you would understand why Hamas will have pain for their people for what they are doing. People in their own land are being punished, and you want Hamas the government chosed by the people to protect and gain freedom to just sit back and let this happen?

[Lander123Gal]

you just proved to the whole world what a dumb retard you are; this guy who has not been given a fair chance to reply has said many times that they are "defending themselves" when a powerful force such as Israel with weapons of mass destruction not to forget that they have one of the strongest armies in the world is sluaghtering their ppl by the thousands. So what is hamas supposed to do?eh. They are a fairly &democraticly elected group , why is everyone forgeting tht, they r wht the ppl wnt!

[azamkini]

he keep stifling zahar to even speak...

[azamkini]

tim sebastian suck!

[Hollandtourist1]

They had to bring some one who would articulate him self better or let him do it in Arabic. The questioner doesnt give much time to answer and also the questioned didn't prepair as it seems.

[Daoak28]

Zahar is an irrational fool. I wonder if the palestinians would prefer a state of their own with these Islamic murderers running it. It will be a blow to moderate muslims and a blow to arab nations. Wake up arab nations, your oil can only last you so long, Once it is gone you'll be worse off than africa if you continue your backwards, antisemitic, antiwest way of life

[Hollandtourist1]

You are right but you have to know that the people elected them democraticly we all have to respect that but Hamas was elected and Israel and west took power away for them.

[Xtro2005]

No we don't. They're a terrorist organization, internationally recognized as such and do not deserve any formal recognition.

[Hollandtourist1]

They are not a terrorist organisation because they where elected by the people. There is where the line is with a ligitimate or iligitimate organisation or political party.

[Xtro2005]

How can you operate on such reasoning? Their election has no bearing on whether they're a terrorist organization.

[YHChickita]

So German's elected Hitler does that make it right? All it shows is that Palestinians are full of hate and part with terrorists.

[Hollandtourist1]

It's the peoples choice it's called democracy or is it that only USA has the perfect democraty? tOther countries have it to in their way every one chould respect that or els your just a dictator and want every one to follow your way or els. Arabs are tribal people they actually don't need democraty they listen to the sheikh and thats it end every group has their own objectives there is no hate when during WW2 the resitance killed German soldiers? It's the same situation think about it.

[Zaharkl]

my name is Zahar and im Ukrainian

[dougmoen]

These debates are fun to watch but the house motions are rarely passed because the audience is full of beards and headbags.

You might as well hold an animal rights debate at an NRA meeting.

[gotti786]

I wonder what would happen if we invaded New York state, and then pushed all the new Yorkers on to Manhattan, built a wall round them, and then only allowed two roads in, which we could stop anytime we wanted. That is what Palestine is, A 24 miles long by 9 mile Prison. Any wonder why there firing Rockets. I wonder what the New Yorkers would do, or any of us?.

[CalleAlJalili]

The interviewer is a well-known and respected journalist, he is called Tim Sebastian. Dr Mahmoud Al Zahar is a terrorist and Islamist to moderate Muslims - yes, and I am a Muslim.

[jpgkorea]

Nothing was achieved from this. The line of questioning obviously was not designed to elicit any understanding nor was it designed to be an open dialog. And "Human Rights Watch" who are they? Why are they the definitive voice exhaustively cited here as a paragon of what delineates human rights violations. The interview style is unproductive because it is too confrontational and biased.

[murk2002]

This was a really good debate, in my opinion. After watching the entire debate, I still have no idea what Dr. Mahmoud Al Zahar wants or a clear idea of what his position is. He did not acknowledge any wrong doing by Hamas, Shimon Peres was on the Doha Debates and I definatly got a better understanding of his position.

[fuhrerschein2008]

I guess Zahar wants the state of Israel destroyed. At all costs.

[dougmoen]

"The interview style is unproductive because it is too confrontational and biased. "

Almost like a debate in Doha 'ey.
