Ralph Nader on an Israel-Palestine Two-State Solution

[nystagmus]

Both Republicans and Democrats are so die hard israeli supporters that they only leaders that have a chance to make peace in that region are the independents like Nader (and ron paul , even though he considers himself republican). If you are 100% unilateral on this issue, you cannot achieve peace. All the republican candidates are scary evil when it comes to israel. They are pretty much saying "stand with israel" , screw all the arabs. Dangerous

[JohnnyRock2000]

It's not correct to say that 80% of American have steadfast support of Israel. There has never been such a poll. It's clear that way OVER 80% of politicians AND the media DO support the Zionist agenda though. That's the top-down kind of manipulation that Zionists work toward. Why bother trying to manipulate, bribe or threaten 300 million Americans when the best way is to make sure that the media and politicians toe the Zionist agenda.

[ciaosampinto]

"I don't see any people from Gaza attacking the US"

what a gavone..

[rachelgolem]

Taliban insurgents used an eight-year-old girl carrying a bag of explosives to attack a police checkpost in central Afghanistan, the Afghan government said on Sunday, making her one of the youngest child bombers of the decade-old conflict.

[eviilhomerr]

@rachelgolem that's terrible and sickening, but what does it have to do with this?

[rachelgolem]

Laughing when Libyans kill each other is NOT ANTI-SEMITISM. 

[elishebabb]

A 2-state solution is against the Quran AND the Hebrew Bible. The Quran states that the land is for the descendants of Jacob. The Hebrew Bible states that the stranger that lives among the descendants of Jacob are to be considered as native born. It also says that for punishment of disobedience - the only ones to be left in the land are poor farmers.

[rockynanach]

Jordan is Palestine

watch?v=yIy0JLUmarg

With the democracy movement in Egypt, Jordan, why don’t the 22 other

Arab countries accept some responsibility and carve up a state for the "Palestinians". How much lands do the Arabs need? HOW CAN THEY MAKE THE PALISTINIAN REFUGEES SUFFER AS PAWNS IN SQUALAR. WHY DONT THE OTHER 2 2 ARAB COUNTRIES ABSORB THEIR BROTHERS LIKE ISRAEL DID WITH THEIR ARAB-JEWS

[ABJM88]

THIS GUY IS A MORON 80% of voters a pro israeli WTF is this guy living in a fantasy

[NYJared04]

@ABJM88

Tucker Carlson is such a SHILL!! So much for his support for Ron Paul. That 80% of voters being pro-Israel is now dropped to like 45-50%. The Zionist media hates people like Nader and Paul.

Nader himself said that over 51% of JEWISH AMERICANS favor a viable Palestinian state. He also stated that it was the Bush policy to recognize the Palestinians right to have a sovereign state.

[athar077]

political suicide is what you just committed ....I guess u dont want the presidency...May the Gods of AIPAC have mercy on your soul and your career...well maybe not your career I can see dershawitz faxing out memos to the american thought police ...good luck Mr Nader for you speak with compassion , I would 've voted for you

[TARASTWO2]

"You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz,. In America you can criticize God, but you can't criticize Israel." Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache 2009.

[EdMahoney19]

They should create the nation of Palestine, and put the Palestinians in control and make all the jews slaves. That seems to be the most reasonable solution.

[SaidAhmad]

I don't know about the rest of the nation, but we certainly don't need a "Jewish" state or any state whose very definition requires policies of exclusion and certain ethnicities targeted for unjust but legally sanctioned treatment. Talk about state sponsored terrorism! Israel has been creating terrorists since 1948. Want to eliminate Arab terrorists? Eliminate Israel as a Jewish state. Call it Israel if you like but it CANNOT be a Jewish state.

[beepu2]

@SaidAhmad why not. muzzies have 60 countries, christians have 20. why is it racist to have 1 jewish country?

arabs alone have 22 countries, no one complains about how they are racist. arabs genocide blacks in sudan, no body cares, but when Israel kills one terrorist, the world screams "genocide.

you do know that jordan has killed more palestinians in one year than Israel has during its entire existence.

[cohenaaronm6]

@SaidAhmad Silly Arab. Israel is for Jews.

[rachelgolem]

How come when Jewish kids blow themselves up on buses nobody talks about it.

Because it doesn't happen.

[rencrow]

@rachelgolem

You're right. Instead those jewish kids get weapons and are sent to palestinian towns to shoot their occupants.

[sammysole1]

80%

come on this guy is talking to keep his job

tucker

carlson

another jew speak

[terminator847]

Who does Nader think he is to become president without the support of the zionist jews? The zionist jews have always controlled the US and always choose who becomes president, and if the jews feel that a candidate is not 110% supportive of Israel and will not cover any crimes it does, then he does not have a chance in hell to becoming president of the US. Not to mention that even if he did support the jews, they would still not let him win cause Nader is an Arab.

[PussmasterX]

@terminator847 ah, my friend, you seem to watch all of the Nader Israeli-Palestinian videos! Indeed, Nader supported many immigrant Jews. Look at our two party system as to why a third party candidate doesn't get elected... I'm sure the Jews prevented the election of Ross Perot and Pat Bucanan? Where do you get your 'facts' from? Neo-Nazi doctrine?

[jas16899]

THIS is what an intelligent man sounds like.

[lindy226]

Nader should give the indians in HIS COUNTRY a state!

[PapGripDezi]

carlson says that 80% of Americans support Israel.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GUY TALKING ABOUT???!!

Anyway, the last gallup poll showed it was 50%, but that doesn;t matter becasue Americans don;t know shit about he issue. In a BBC poll a few years back (after the Lebanon/Israel war part 2) Israel was voted as the greatest threat to International security.

Americans definitely hold pore positive views about Israel than the rest of the world; but world opinion is VERY poor on Israel.

[rachelgolem]

How come Mr. Nader never mentions Tibet or Chechnya?

It really seems to bother him that Americans are more interested in feeding their kids and paying for health insurance than "Destroying the Zionist Empire".

Yes, Mr. Nader, it's only a "Small minority of Jews that are ruining the world".

[1944ACE1944]

Well the Jews aren't even really ethnic in no way whatsoever, Europeans and others have converted all over the world. The only people that have the right to call themselves "Jews" are the indigenous population in Palestine. The Zionists in Israel are doing the same destruction and genocide to the Palestinians like the Puritans and other Europeans did to the Native Americans in Amerikkka.

[diggles8]

he's wrong...yes, most jewish americans would hypothetically be for a palestinian state, but only if it's a state that respects israel and can be assured it won't invade israel...if you created it today that would NOT be the case

don't buy the lies people...the vast majority of Palestinians would rather fight to destroy israel than invest time and money to create their own country...

[nilesmoney]

An uninformed answer. Last 25 years, annual global vote, every year, 160-5 in favor of two state solution. Israel continues to be in violation of international law. Settlements are illegal, as judged by the World Court 14-0, including the US judge, Thomas Bergenthahl. Every policy Israel "stand on" has been ruled 'illegal' by the world court, and has continued to be in violation of UN resolution 242, which begins by "reafirming the illegality of acquisition or territory by war" Want sources?

[EmmillyM]

ofcourse arabs want there own state...but they already have like 7 huge oil filled countries! yet they continue to attack israel. ofcourse israel will retaliate. this shmuck isn't informed, its sad that he's on tv. arabs want jewish death- they have plenty land

[IndoAryan777]

They continued at attack Israel EmmilyM? Really? Israel didn't provoke them? Isrealis a saint?  You really are an idiot.

[nilesmoney]

Curious to call other uninformed when you make absurd claims. Why not look at the actual documentary record of THE FACTS. I get why you feel this way, but trust me, it is from taking :propoganda" as information. Look at the annual UN vote on a two state solution. Entire world on one side. US and Israel on the other. All of Israel's "official" positions have been judged illegal bu the international court of law, including the US judge. Please, check the facts, not what media "gasbags" say.

[EmmillyM]

ZOMG ur using the UN as a basis for social justice. lol. the most corrupt organisation ever. hehehe. watever.

[vivaisrael2000]

on youtube watch

Pallywood

A video expose the Palestianans lies about Israel. A MUST SEE VIDEO

[nilesmoney]

Seen it, and researched it. All of it either fabricated, or "beyond" distorted. Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine makes Apartheid is South Africa look like a cocktail party. We are at the beginning of unmasking all the "propoganda", and learning the facts. They're available @ Amnesty International, The Israeli Center for Human Rights, & Human Rights Watch. Google "peaceful settlement to the Israel Palestine crisis." Click on UN link. All of Israel's official positions are illegal.

[crusader651]

58% sometime 64%.

[foreverlostdynasty]

"a huge majority of american jews support the two state sollution, over fifty percent"

what a moron

[IIIIIShadeIIIII]

Just what is anyone doing to promote a peace? Jerusalem had people of all faiths living there in peace once upon a time.Christian, Jews and yes even Arabs, all in one City. Trading, living eating, and dare I say it shagging. Now we have this crap to deal with. All financed by the American tax payers. Do Americnas care where their money goes? Maybe they should use their money to rebuild their own country, feed their own people on welfare, and not sell guns and weapons to anyone for a while.

[IsraelShouldExist]

I want anything that will result in Israel existing in Peace

[psiphon1]

Charge the Israelis for rent then both sides are happy . Reconciliation

[celinebritgirl]

Rent for their own lands?

[MVM1999]

THE SOLUTION IS GETTING ISRAEL OUT.

because this earth is NOT Israel`s home, it is Palestine`s .

Who reads the history know that.

[kasra2003]

now da problem in palestine is that we have zionist who govern israel and then hammas and islamic radical groups who govern or influence palestine,hence palestenian people have no alternatives if they want to please west.another problem is tht zionist dont abide by no body's rules they reoccupy lands and territories which were assigned to palestenians and then hammas and hezoballah r also another side of da evil coin cuz they wont bring democracy to palestine cuz of their radical islamic views

[colombian18]

this guy interviewing Nader is a complete moron.

[JohnLions]

THANK YOU! He is a fucking idiot!

[johnjamesak]

If anyone can name 10 "palestinian"/arab presidents/kings prior to 1967 arafat (born in egypt) I will support a 2 state solution. Thousands of years right? Should be easy.

[VvendettAa]

Palestine has been occupied by so many different countries for so long but none have oppressed them as much as now.

[ma11ohad]

amazing how no here that support Nader in the comments say anything about a two state. its all about hate to Israel. Israelis WANT a TWO state solution. what about the Arabs? I am really asking. if you are an Arab please let us know

[a0sn]

well, I am not an arab. But I am for a two-state solution. The fact of the matter is that your view apparantly is on the fringe of society in Israel. As the facts show Israeli brutal regime has occupied the arab lands for 40 years, and they've made resentment in arab/muslim world towards west and in particular towards US. On top of that, we r fighting the neocon/ziofascist wars in ME. Israel is obviously on a self-destruction path.

[ma11ohad]

you know the beauty of democracy. you can go election by elections and see what the nominees offered and what the Israeli people voted. so please stop your lies. a two state solution is and Israeli interest everybody in Israel supports that Idea, the Americans supports this solution. Fatah support that solution. you know who doesn't support a two state solution?... Hamas... and Hamas is what the Palestinians people voted. Hamas is what stops peace

[a0sn]

I've read thoroughly about this issue actually, and what you claiming is false. Hamas has offered for long term truce ( which basically means recognizing israel) and even donkeys know that hamas is not able by any means to harm the jewish state. Beside Israel has ended its occupation of Gaza few years ago and it's holding WB and not gaza. You may be a well-intentioned israeli citizen along many others who support a two-state solution but the reality on the ground shows that....

[ma11ohad]

Hamas in three day destroyed the PLO (the secular national group in palestine) the only reason they still survive in the west bank is BC of Israeli protection. and a fanatic Muslim state in the back yard of Israel with strait connection to Iran is a big dangerous. to Israel to the palestinians and to the world

about the truce well every day there are rockets flying form Gaza not a truce in the Israeli people mind. there is only so much we can take

[a0sn]

Palestinians voted for Hamas because of its social services and its effectiveness and because PLO was corrupt and ineffective. I dont share the same ideology as Hamas but I give them credit for standing up to the occupier. I dont know how you came to the conclusion that my information is from muslim extremist/ christian freak, but I believe the most scary, freaky, and quite dangerous sect of christians are your friends zionist evangelical christians who want to send jews....

[ma11ohad]

the evangelical Christians are AMERICANS protestants christians. the are not Zionists in any way. and not related to Israel but to the right wing conservatives in America. the have no connection to the Jewish nation. and anti Israeli people like to contact them and call them Zionists. the supports for the Jewish nation in America is from both democrats and republicans, and got nothing to do with the evangelicals.

[a0sn]

to israel so they are burnt in hell after armageddon :))). BTW I looked @ ur page and it seems we are more, less on the same side of story as far as peace and a two-state solution is concerned, but the reality of the policy implemented by israeli government, and the direction of policy advocated by Israel lobby in US ( Neocon, Ziofascists, AEI, JINSA, AIPAC,.....) is absolutely out of touch with peace, and a two-state solution. And again, in long run, with the direction israel is taking its....

[ma11ohad]

other then Aipac which is an AMERICAN organisation not Israeli. I am not familiar with the rest of what you wrote. "Ziofascist" sounds ridiculuos to me. in 1948 the revisionist Zionist AKA the right wing in Israel at the time had some related ideas to the Italian fascists at the time only in national ideas. the left wing in Israel fogout them and won and later become what is today Israel a social democracy. both side right and left in Israel today ofcours are democratic and fascists

[a0sn]

I think you should read more about the extend that Israeli lobby ( not only AIPAC, I suggest you read walt and mearsheimer book on this subject) manipulates the public discourse in US in favor of constant brutal occupation of palestine which totally collides with american/west interest in the region. you can also see this quite-good documentary about Israel lobby "watch?v=N294FMDok98" . I personally think in long-run the Israel lobby in US will bring about the destruction Israel.

[ma11ohad]

again I am an Israeli not an American I can only effect what is going on in my country I have no control nor can I vote in the American system. America have a lot of interest to support Israel and you right some of them are not in the same line as the Israeli interests to say the least. yet saying that I do believe in democracy I believe people opinion do change and I trust the American people to do the right choices and to stand with Israel for peace

[dangflo]

for peace or for death?

[ma11ohad]

on our hand we will do what ever we can. Israel is facing a lot of challenges but its far from distraction I think that in time and with peace in the rigeon Israel will be cultural and technically center in the world. in modern age the size of your land dose not important. some of the poorest countries in the world are the biggest yet some of the most successful countries are very small. that's the Israeli people way. we worked to hard to build it

[a0sn]

wont survive in the pool of hate in the region that you are creating. BTW, some of the bravest critics of Israel are jewish themselv, I suggest you read some of Dr. Pappe, Finkelstein, Tony Judt, Butler,... Books/articles on this subject. It's a shame that such an apartheid, racist, barbaric state is defaming jewish people as a whole, which have contributed greatly to humanity and have been subjected to racism in history.

[ma11ohad]

my views are as well of the majority of Israelis are close to jimmy carter or Noam Chomsky, I am a Zionist I believe in the right of the Jewish nation for an independent state. Pepe and finklistine are supporters of a one state solution and both are non Zionists. AKA believe that Israel have no right to exist. Pepe is not only a Jew he is and Israeli an he is a politician in the Israeli knesset which makes it even more absurde. two state solution is the only solution

[a0sn]

Clearly, Your ideas about zionism is grossly distanced from what the Israeli lobby advocates in US that you can not even call them by a same name. That's what I mean by ziofascism and that's my resentment about zionism comes from. It's something like Islam vs Islamofascist, with the difference that Islamic extremist are bunch of unorganized, incompetence group. But ziofascist in US ( they dont even live in Israel!!!) have a very manipulative, strong lobby in US .

[ma11ohad]

I was born way after 1967 and in 1982 I was two year old. yet all my life I was acting against the Israeli occupation and control on what I believe is a different nation and different country. yet as much as I am against the occupation I see history and know what lead to this occupation. and also the results. the occupation of Gaza and the west bank was a result of a war with Egypt,Jordon. both countries we have peace with now. if Israel would not win 1967 I would not be here today

[a0sn]

There is no virtue for human suffering, palestinians or Israeli, I believe israel did kinda did have high moral ground in 67, but with 40 years of brutal occupation and and with exporting the most fanatic fascist set of Israel to Palestine, Israel has lost that ground. Again, with the path that Israel is taking it only leads to perpetual wars and ultimate destruction of Israel. I hope peace prevails in the region, although I am quite pessimist about it. Shalom/peace

[a0sn]

Israel is expanding its settlement and is viciously devouring palestinian lands and destroying any chance for a two-state solution while at the same time she is crying to be victim of this process. considering the arab-israel conflict, it seems most israelis tend to forget that geography also count at the end of the day. there is a limit to israeli technological advantage, and with the path that Israel has chosen, it's survival chance is pretty low in long-run, and guess who's the winner? Iran

[ma11ohad]

Israel is only withdrawing from settlements by it own choice as we move forward for a two state solution even thou there is no partner on the other side. I read you comments here on you tube . you knowledge of the subject is full of lies between Muslim fanatics that never even been in Israel to Christians freaks. if you want the truth always look for democracy and for the common Israelis. we pay a big price for the madness of the world.

[ma11ohad]

Israelis are pro two state solution. I hope Obama will make it happen

[rororotimi]

pro this pro that are taxes hit us with bats

[nowellian]

Vote for common sense!

Vote for peace and justice!

Vote for Nader!

[SlaveStorm]

Everybody knows. The writing is on the wall. The epsilon semi-morons can't read.

Too many people believe in fairy tales. That's what the scriptures are. Plagiarized poetic myths and stories passed down from our ancient past.

Manipulative criminals have turned people into zombie believers of fairy tales. Stay tuned to the tell lie vision, film at 11.

[Anyu7378]

Great comment SlaveStorm. Anderson's and Grimm's stories has more truth to them than the scriptures. "The climax of terror is reached when the police state begins to devour its own children, when yesterday's executioner becomes today's victim." Hannah Arendt (1906-1975). On Violence, 3 1970

[Common1Sense]

Ralph nader said that the victim ration is 400 palestianians to 1 isreali....look at this vid from the meet press>>watch?v=Fz7EkulVyHo&fea­ture=related...Nader tells Tim RUssert the previous month its 300 to 1.....Someone is inflating the numbers LOL

[khany1388]

Only 300 thats not that bad! I bet over 100 are children as well! Oh well, I bet if it was 400 your entire opinion on the conflict would change! God, the Zionists must really be getting desperate if thats the best you can come up with! We killed 400 not 300! I think that should be Likuds new political slogan!

[robertk2007]

Is kasra a raghead or jamaican? Da da da da, lolololol. God bless america! Jesus is lord

[kasra2003]

robertk,you r 28 and that da best that u can come up with,if i'm a raghead or jamaican? and what is wrong with those people?i'd rather to be a raghead anyday than an ignorant white trailor trash.so u keep saying god bless israel,but do u know what da hell u r talking about.israel is main problem for many countries and so many including in israel r agianst what they r doing to palestenians.ignorance is a bliss.

[robertk2007]

you are DA crazy one, leave me alone

[robertk2007]

sure ralph, go back to the pre-1967 when it was so peacful between israel and arab states. it was perfect back then, no wars at all, oooops. wait a minute. shut up ralph and go back to making cars safer when you were an american hero. now ur a zero

[robertk2007]

god bless israel

[kasra2003]

this issue is a taboo and nader is absolutely correct about this issue.occupation of palestine and genocide of palestinians r completely is ignored by american government and british authorities.united nation has warned israel many times about their unruly behavior but american government doesnt bother with that so we need people like nader in american political scene to have a voice for people not only american but for da rest of oppresed people who r being affected by ignorant and bully usa

[Hkhan23]

because basically the jews run america, jews do freely what they want to the palestinians because americs is israels bitch

[kasra2003]

ya,jews r only 2.5% of amrica.but main thing 4 them is media,and reason being that we should offer israel and palestine co exist together,is to show american government it can be done.extremism in both sides havent worked.either fanatical zionists which have big voice in america and radical moslem,r both sides of da same coin,and victims r innocent palestenian people.america trying to say that they support peace but all they've been doing ,ignoring isralei disobediance from uninted nation.

[robertk2007]

genocide of the palestinians, LOLOLOLOL. population has gone up 5x in 60 years, some killing off.. almost like the jews and indians

[kasra2003]

robertk,yes go and read the articles of united nation and other leaders of different countries like carter that what israel is doing is similar to nazis policies,however if u r a jew i have nothing against jewish people but what we r trying to do here is mainly stop american support for israel cuz israel is dictating his own policies to rest of da world including usa.and what we must do in usa is not only to stop da war, but change da mindset that creates da war,and nader can do, not obama

[siavash89]

whats he mean by israels side

kill all the muslim palestinins

death rati is 300:1

fuck all the religions because alll of the worlds conflicats come from them

[scj16]

IF there is anyone who knows what they want and can bring peace its nader, he's freakin Arab. And why the fuck are we pro israel? It makes no sense? What good has israel done for the world? No-we support them because our country believe that the messiah is coming and jeruselum will be his kingdom. If it wasn't for religion we wouldn't support them!

[MustacheVerra]

America support Israel because of the lobby AIPAC, it has nothing to do with religion. The religion thing is just a new for AIPAC to get support. These Israeli are hypocrite as hell.

[pizzakid770]

"all they want is to have a state"

f. idiot. Did you ever hear what theys ay theywant in arabic? Is all hamas wants, who were democratically eleceted by the "people" a state in '67 borders?

get your head out of your liberal ass and read the ARABIC LANGAUGE news, and speeches you fucking idiot

[scj16]

You want to know why 80% of the American people are pro-Israel? BECAUSE 80% OF THE COUNTRY IS CHRISTIAN!

[schwingrocker]

Well, not true, they are pro Israel because the truth is hidden from them. There are many Palestinian Christians btw

[MovieMuchacho]

Israel has two wars going on. One is against the people of Palestine and the other here in America, labeling anyone who speaks out against the injustices being committed as antisemitic.

[paulp1021]

I agree, it sucks. Anyone expressing constructive criticism towards the policies of the Israeli government would be labeled Anti-Semitic. Which is absolutely ridiculous, but that's just the reality in this country. Politicians running for higher office literally has to be seen as kissing AIPAC's butts. They can't be seen as being anti Israel, or the corporate media and everyone else will crucify them. It's political suicide to speak against the policies of the Israeli Government.

[IsraelShouldExist]

because no one in america should be critisizing there best ally (democracy) in the Middle East

[cre8ive00]

To blindly follow and to question nothing is the highest form of ignorance...

[IndoAryan777]

IsraelShouldExist, Palestianisn are not sayin that Israel should not exits. It's Israel that is prevenmting Palestinians to exist a free people. And Americans should criticize Israel for their nazi-like atrocties on Palestianins.

[phred03]

Speaking out for Palestinian rights now is like opposing militaristic involvement in Iraq 5+ years ago. Anti-Semitic for one, anti-American for the other.

[montezoma]

@phred03

the person who invented the term "anti-semetism" is a retard, no such thing

[nystagmus]

@montezoma anti-semitic is used incorrectly. The israeli's (keep in mind many of them are from Europe) call arabs anti-semitic... and arabs are Semitic people. Probably more so than the european jews that came to palestine in the 30's.

[ienjoypaninis]

@phred03 how the fuck is that anti-semitic? or anti-american? israel is doing nothing but ruining the wests reputation in the middle east by being murderous fuckwads. the media has done a good job of hiding it for quite some time, but its starting to lose its touch. fucking JIDF, you're doing nothing but giving the good jews out there a bad name.

[rachelgolem]

@ienjoypaninis

I noticed Mr. Nader has not mentioned anything about the Syrian civil war. To be honest, I don't care how many Syrians kill each other either. In fact, the more the merrier. Fewer Syrians to fight in the next war. Peace!!!

[IsraeliTerrorism]

Nobody is allowed to talk on this subject in high government. THATS A FACT!
