  • Did the Zionist Gestapo did this?

  • This is very sad. AIPAC finally got rid of him.

  • Poor guy :(

    Im really sorry for him! :(

  • Tony Judt is a mastermind. His premature demise is a major bummer

  • I'm halfway through Postwar, and it is already the most brilliant, authoritative and wonderful book on Europe post 1945. I don't share his social democratic politics, and it is easy to punch holes in his arguments against rightist politics, but there is no doubting his intellect and the power of his writing. It's such a shame for Left that Mr Judt died, because it has emasculated itself in recent years.

  • my mother died bcuz of dis sickness on january of diz year 2011

    r.i.p. we will always have u in our heart nd 4 da ppl dat wants to knw dis sickness spread fast on my mother she only lasted 10 months da last month she was with us she couldnt walk couldnt move no part of her body she couldnt talk for wat i understood her she used to say her tougue felt really heavy :,( thiz was the hardest months of my life missin u mother nd god plz help find a cure for dis ppl r.i.p.

  • I've got no sympathy what-so-ever. If you fight for a racist apartheid and support such a system, the karma is going to destroy you.

  • R.I.P Tony Judt

  • What an amazingly brilliant mind going to waste in the wrong body

  • What an inspiring character: "I've been teaching this semester, students come in here.."

  • he is my girlfriends 2nd cousin

  • This is a very rare disease and you cant live up to three years. Every one should remember that this can happen in any age and their is no cure it takes a while to paralyze your body.

    Thank you for reading this commet

  • At least he will have a long life..... If you get this disease you can not live up to three years! Remember youtube this is a very rare disease and it is painless.

  • I was diagnosed with ALS three months ago and I'm only 22. Tony Judt is a hero and someone you can truly look up to. We seriously need to reform the euthanasia laws in the UK.

  • @pragmatismnotidealis can i ask what the very early signs where and how it was diagnosed because its in my family and i have just had a blood test and it was clear .

  • @21centurynostradamus

    Hi,

    Step father died of MND on Feb 18th 2011. He experienced spasms in his muscles about 3 years ago. He then started to trip over (Drop Foot) and started falling. He was still driving this time last year.

    muscle bipopsy in March 10. In May I raised concerns about his breathing because he was gasping for air. September 10 2010 was diagnosis day. put on Rizuzole. Died of Aspiration Pneumpnia. He was 66

  • I'm sorry.

  • I'm reading Tony's book.

    He's awesome!

  • I feel very sorry for him. Life is strange. Eschilo docet. Rest in peace Tony.

  • Such a brilliant historian.. Even in the face of death, he is able to explain so properly and clear what this disease does to him.. He will be missed..

  • My father died of this. This was my idea for my book. I'd rather have my dad than my book published.

  • Tremendous fortitude and dignity when facing certain death. This reminds me of my father contemplating his own death, in his case from Cancer. I hope i display the same qualities as these great 2 men when it is my turn to die.

  • great mind. great thoughts. a great loss. one of the most exceptional minds of his generation.

    Rest in Peace. Hope your students live up to their teacher. And sorry I never got to be one.

  • Rest in peace, Tony.

  • Thank you for your service to humanity, Mr. Judt.

  • stephen hawkings has this too

  • so touched by the honest video. My dad has motor neurone, and it is so, so sad. Most touched by the last few seconds. Of course, we want dad to stay around, but only as we remember him - when he could breathe properly. This is fading fast. God bless Tony's family. You are, like all of us who experience motor neurone, very brave.

  • He looked like a whole other person.

  • ..thinking of you, Tony. RIP

  • rest in peace tony . he was a great person! 

  • sad.

  • R.I.P i wasn't expecting him to die so soon

  • RIP. Great man and intellectual. His messages and contributions will live on.

  • i hope they find a cure for this damn thing. this is incredibly cruel.

  • Rest in peace Tony.

  • From Spain: RIP. Always we will have his work.

  • rest in peace, what a great author he was!

  • Prof Tony Judt, an intellectual hero. R I P.

  • Pseudo-Intellectuals come and go, Israel is forever!!!!

  • @rachelgolem Glad to see someone denouncing a man that just died. Spoken like a true Zionist..

  • @theyasin33

    Hey, nobody is afraid to put their children on an airplane with ME!!!!

  • @rachelgolem Okay, good for you..

  • @rachelgolem

    Along with being a cold-hearted prick, you also think it's amusing

    that people would profile someone just because he is Arab/Muslim. You're

    quite a character rachelgolem. Who says Fascism is dead?

  • @rachelgolem have a heart you cruel bastard. He was a Zionist and served in the Israeli military.

  • @rachelgolem I really feel sorry for wasting my time on a fucking idiot that goes around in every fucking Tony Judt video writing the exact same shit. No mind to at least make it variable. Too bad, I just feel like it.

    forever is an awfully long time, PP, grow up.

    you do not get to decide who is the intellectual until you produce some substantial, orijinal thoughts. and until you grow up.

    thank god i haven't met a jew like you. thank god they were all pretty open-minded fellas. thank god.

  • The Mossad finally got him with Biological Weapons - much like the Russians when they killed Litvinenko with Polonium poisoning. It is so bloody obvious. Tony Judt was an outspoken critic of Israel and its International Lobby. I fear for Norman Finkelstein and Noam Chomsky.

  • @JOHNCLEESE10021 oh come on...seriously, if the mossad killed other jews they would have got rid of Mordechai Vanunu. They dont because the mossad defends jews, it was set up for that purpose and even jews considered traitors have not been killed. Its just very very unfortunate. RIP Tony Judt, a brilliant mind

  • this is gods wel

  • RIP

  • I'd recommend this video to anyone who has a friend or relative with ALS, and wants to understand the illness better.

  • Professor, u are an amazing exemple how love always wins, do the natural course of life, in the end, everybody is going to end the same. Ur family is precious to u and i am sure u are very much precious for them. U will be in my prayer tonight.

  • Proof that there's no such thing as justice on this planet. Lions get motor neuron disease while roaches continue to rape our world.

  • "O God, I could be bounded in a nut shell and count myself a king of infinite space"

    Tony, with your great mind and intellect, you are more free than most people.

  • So very sorry for him and his family. I learned so much by reading just a few pages of one of his books.

  • Courage personified.

  • I'm very sad for him. He's a nice guy , he doesn't diserve it . God help him . He really doesn't deserve it , awfull disease .

  • @hamzyboy Sadly he had already passed away on August 6th of 2010....

  • @hamzyboy so who would?

  • @hamzyboy No one deserves to be put through that much pain and suffering, it's inhumane, and horrible.

  • OH MY GOD ... I had no idea Tony Judt had developed this disease. This is a total shock. I'm halfway through 'Postwar' at the moment. Thus it has just struck me how extraordinarily painful it will be to have a mind that capacious trapped in a body that atrophied. I really do feel for him. This must seem like such an extraordinarily cruel stroke of fate. I so enjoyed listening to his interviews in particular.

  • Its always the good guy that has this kind of luck. Pisses me off. I hope there is a way for Tony to get better real real soon.

  • Comment removed

  • Great man

  • what a courageous man.

  • This is quite depressing. I admire Tony Judt a lot.

  • My father has this, it is a terrible disease.

  • It will be a really sad day for us when he is gone. such a towering intellectual

  • Be patient..... biopsychologists are making rapid advancements  :)

  • @shadowgirl0907 they are so far from finding any sort of effective treatment for this disease. it's penicious to deny that and say facile things like "biopsychologists are making rapid advancements :)" They are not, and Tony Judt is smart enough and honest enough and brave enough to know that.
