Charlie Rose - Rashid Khalidi / Antonia Fraser

[vinncent86]

khalidi is very smart

[kvaks3000]

Charlie Rose isn't.

[sensibilita]

"Dictated by my faith" --- that odd sentence above spells it out; the heart is absent ... while I understand a journalist tossing his shoes at Bush (who is a criminal, sure), setting off bombs is beyond the pale. Anyone with a heart does not play with bombs. Period.

[mohammadmurtaza]

great interview. khalidi is soo clear and "blunt" that most people can understand. he really doesn't try to embellish his words. i love the tension between rose and khalidi

[daderone]

thanks for the video

[daderone]

Hamas stop firing qassams and change your charters Israel seeks a partner for peace. The Palestinians must recognize and reject Hamas as a threat to their saftey, stability and sovereignty.

When Israel handed over Gaza there was opportunity, rebuild your land, stop destroying it and promoting violence and hate. Hamas has accomplished only the opposite of progress for the people of gaza.

Extremism = The Problem, not the answer

[mohammadmurtaza]

extremism? how about modern day colonialism? jewish settlers literally believe they are God's chosen people. superior to muslim and christian palestinians. you wanna talk about extremism? instead of spreading zionist israeli propaganda I think you need to get out of your box and see the suffering of 4.5 million people.

[daderone]

if u don't want 2 hear the truth then just say so. Yes there r extremists on all sides of conflict what would exclude Palestine & Hamas from being any different & something 2 work against towards peace, sovereignty, stability & prosperity.

So u want 2 acknowledge that settlements maybe part of the issue? done. now understand that Hamas has brought nothing of opportunity, chosen hate & violence over peace, chaos rather than stability and prosperity. What did u think extremism = the prob meant?

[mohammadmurtaza]

When you have an entire population of people living in a cage (gaza), literally cut off from the outside world by ground, air and sea. and disproportionate response of the IDF in regarding to the conducting the revenge killing of 70 palestinians to every 1 israeli, the vast majority of logical people who don't gravitate toward an ideology would say that the israeli side is more out of line and extremist. Hamas? How about the likud party??

[daderone]

well as a logical person calling it how it is its not even a debate to be honest. Yes Hamas is a fundamentalist extremist organization which promotes violence, hatred and the indoctrination of children to hate and commit acts of violence at whatever costs to the people of gaza..which Israel withdrew from quite sometime ago. Hamas is a terrorist organization and creates vast instability to the region and has put peace on the side to pursue acts of violence and terrorism.

just the facts.

[mohammadmurtaza]

true this is not a debate. the facts are plain and simple. Israel has violated international laws by killing Palestinian politicians and civilians. Israel has built an illegal apartheid fence which has cut into palestinian land. anyone with even half a brain would know israel withdrew from gaza because the majority of the public forced sharon to do so, but they still have gaza surrounded by air ground & sea. israel is a terror state supported by wack jobs and people who don't really know much.

[daderone]

i have a hard time understanding how and why u are here and keep trying to derail this conversation about Hamas into one about Israel and can tell you're a pretty biased person so I won't bother.

You can keep trying to point fingers but like i said, its just how it is and you're doing nobody in Palestine favors trying to cover for Hamas.

So like I said if u care about Palestine, handle Hamas. End of discussion. Have a nice day.

[mohammadmurtaza]

"i have a hard time understanding how and why u are here and keep trying to derail this conversation about Hamas into one about Israel"

-Do you have any idea how stupid you sound? how can you talk about hamas or Palestine and not talk about Israel. Those are the 2 parties at war. It is Israel's aggression that created hamas and this humanitarian situation in Palestine.

"You can keep trying to point fingers..."

-Are you for reals? The whole question is about blame, who is causing these wars?

[daderone]

insults, smears. I'm so hurt.

Its pretty easy to talk about one subject. You can keep trying to cover for a terrorist organization who has brought nothing but violence and hatred to the region if you want to, just don't pretend for one second you care about Palestine, Israel or peace.

As someone who does care about Palestine, I'll just make it clear. People like yourself help nobody. You're looking for blame. You think thats the issue here?

Then the answer is simple. Blame yourself.

[mohammadmurtaza]

"insults, smears. I'm so hurt."

-Smears? I merely stated fact, you sounded stupid by trying to minimalize the crimes Israel commits on a daily basis against Palestinians.

"As someone who does care about Palestine, I'll just make it clear."

-Really? You care about Palestine? Whens the last time you went to Palestine, Jerusalem or even donated money for Plstn? Ur fooling no one. try and sound convincing next time. the Palestinians will see justice someday, there is no doubt about that.

[daderone]

When was the last time I donated money to support efforts to establish peace and stability in Palestine and Israel..oh i dunno? Last month. Give it a break.

Again you think you're in a debate about Israel and Palestine and what you are doing in reality is trying to convince yourself that your simplistic justifications and attempts to take a serious discussion on a tangent are helping anybody. They aren't.

When was the last time I went? Last year. How about you tough guy?

[daderone]

so allow me to be blunt, if your choice is to support a fundamentalist and extremist organization who has brought nothing but violence and hatred into the situation, rather then supporting the opportunity for peace and prosperity then say so. But again don't act like u care.

Hamas is a horrid group which will never see peace because it desires war. If you want war then just don't come crying to me when someone dies. I'll be crying morons like u made it possible with their ignorance and bs.

[mohammadmurtaza]

As dictated by my faith, my family donates 2.5% of our wealth to charity. A good sum of that goes to Palestinian and Afghan relief efforts. I personally visited the rafat refugee camp with Red Cross/Red Crecent organisation, and the whole time I was there I wanted to cry. Of course according to you, I nor should anyone else feel sorry for the palestinians because they are terrorists and pose a threat to israel. You just don't have the capacity or the will to understand.

[daderone]

I didn't ask about your family, I asked about you. IF you want a cookie because daddy gives some of his glorious 'wealth' to a charity you're talking to the wrong guy.

I asked what you've done, aside from try to shill bs or Hamas and pretend like you give a damn about palestine.

1st I doubt u were in al Rafah as u can't spell it, 2nd Hamas has chased out and severed most humanitarian aide to the people, 3rd yes Hamas is a terrorist org. and al rafah borders Egypt not Israel.

[daderone]

so try not to distort reality to promote your agenda and try and cover for a group who's made the life of the people in gaza increasingly worse.

Since Israel withdrew from Gaza and hamas took over they've thrown the opportunity or peace and for humanitarian efforts to suceed in driving out foreigners and humanitarians.

Or did u think that Egypt having to close borders to cut off arms from being shipped to hamas terrorists was good for those who really are trying 2 help humanitarian aide?

[daderone]

So again, i don't know what your true intentions are here but do the rest of the palestinian people a favor and quit pretending like everyone in Gaza is Hamas or benefits in any way from the fundamentalist terrorist organization.

HAmas chooses rockets over food, guns over medicine and hatred over peace. You better believe not everybody in the strip benefits from this bs you're trying 2 promote.

I support the people who give children food & medicine, not rockets, hatred & camo.

[mohammadmurtaza]

I'm 22 years old and a college student. I don't really have wealth to give. What belongs to my family belongs to me. Red Cross/Red Cresent has always been in Palestine and is in Palestine. You are claiming I haven't been to Rafah because I misspelled it with a "t?" is that all you got? I also miss spelled organization with an "s" are you also going to claim I don't know what an organization is? You're more ridiculous than I thought. I wonder how you look like? lol.

[daderone]

and I'm 25 and a college student, I said based on what you've said here I doubt you've been yes, but really I could care less. u asked me, I answered.

If you don't think Hamas is keeping humanitarian aide out of the gaza strip I can't help you. Rafah is on the Egyptian border, if Hamas were focused on caring 4 people maybe red cross wouldn't b there.

I'm a pretty sexy mofo actually. Time to go out to dinner w/ my Lebanese gf who is also a graduate student in poly sci. toodles. Get a job

[mohammadmurtaza]

I doubt a person with your kind thinking and attitude would ever have a girlfriend let alone a "Lebanese gf." lol. Poly Sci major! HAHAHAHA!!! Good luck in finding a job and living off the scraps you'll be eating out of trash cans with the kind of salary you'll be getting. Bioengineering is the way to go :)

[daderone]

doubt it all you want my evil zionist self has been making love to a sexy Lebanese girl for 5 years.

Look just because you live out of mommy's pocketbook and use the excuse that you're 22 doesn't mean everyone is as weak and dependant as yourself.

Like for example I have a job, and go to school, so I have my own wealth. Imagine that. What a phenomenom.

Its amazing, like not being ignorant, spiteful & pathetic helps get sexy women instead of being buried in sand callin yourself a homo.

[daderone]

and lets just be real, its been made obvious here that studying bioengineering in no way qualifies you or educates you in the manner to know anything about the realities of global politics and conflict.

When i want a robotic dick made I'll give u a call.

Until then try talking about what you know b4 us poly sci students start shitting ignorance on your bio-tech blogs and message boards trying to confuse people.

[bigbossfan1228]

And, another question on palestine problem. though my knowledge is very imited abt the issues here.

I understand that there was a war between Israel and Arab countries. and, Israel occupies some land they captured in that war.

Now, lets assume Israel is wrong here. But, why don't other arab countries play nice and allow Palestinians to migrate to their country and live a nice life. Afterall, there are so many palestinians who have migrated to the west. Why can't arabs be nice for a change?

[SinanKhalili]

because they identify as palestinians, they are palestinians first, arab second... what people dont seem to understand is grouping together all arabs and saying you are one is like grouping together all white people and saying that you are one... fuck off out of canada.. well america is white it can take you in.. bad argument isnt it

[bigbossfan1228]

I am not grouping palestinians with arabs. My argument is simply that Why does a big neighboring country like Saudi Arabia which has a big migrant population does not allow Palestinians to migrate there? Let all the arab countries allow Palestinian migration and let Palestinian people decide where they want to go.

And regarding the America being a white country argument of yours. They just elected their first black President. And, I do not expect a non-muslim head of state in any arab country.

[SinanKhalili]

well almost half of jordan is palestinians there are shitloads in syria and lebanon, aswell as iraq and neighbouring countries so the arab countries do to a degree allow palestinians refuge, but of coarse they could do more.. however the most important point is that palestinians have a strong sense of nationalism... as for white country i meant mostly white america is still about 70 percent white... and arab countries like saudi arabia and egypt have large indian and black communities

[bigbossfan1228]

ok, i checked out with wikipedia it says population of jordan is 5 million, and a good number of it is palestinian immigrants.now, imagine if saudi(which has 27 million people) + other arab countries allow migration and they have plenty of petro dollars to support the migrants aswell.

regarding indian people in saudi they are mainly temp workers who are allowed to stay only till they can work their ass off. as for white america, it allows legal migration for people of any color.

[elgammal44]

there is tons of pals. in syria,lebanon,egypt and Saudi living there , but if u mean citizenship --doing so is killing the idenity of the palstienians --- palastineans want their own land not to run away and pickup another nationality.

[daderone]

u mean..if u mean citizenship then you'll remove their ability to exploit people without secured rights for cheap wages.

How else would Jordan make so many cheap products to stick on the shelves in Wal Mart? Who else would pick up the Saudi's trash? Or carry out/promote the ideological propaganda that allows these kingdoms and oligarchs to stay in power over their own people.

[daderone]

because those other people in the neighboring countries view Palestinians as less then and only good for promoting their larger goals, like finding cheap labor for their kingdoms or trying to do away with Israel.

They only want Palestinians to immigrate illegally for cheap labor and then fund instability 2 raise oil prices. They don't care about the people of Palestine. They care about scapegoating Jews/Israel so they can continue 2 oppress their own people. Its hard being an oppressive King

[freesoulsearch]

What are your facts that this is not palestinian land..Accordin to ur logic..this belongs to the eastern european immigrants or to the zionists criminals & the settlers who are bunch of outlaw people even by the occupier rules.I hope ur not advocating Rachel Corrie killers..Nowhere,countries & land are belonging to ppl according to what religion they have...No one should be expelled from his house town or country.Occupation is a criminal act that should be stopped totally by us b4 anyone else

[bigbossfan1228]

no, seriously! I will appreciate if someone comes up with a logical answer to my question? Why does overwhelming percentage of political tensions in the world at the moment involve muslims? Its not limited to any region, race etc. its everywhere.

I will be highly appreciative if any liberal. moderate, or conservative, atheist etc. can provide a logical answer to this.

[elgammal44]

because muslims have the energy and resources needed to the west -- and this tensions most of them are man made or inteligence made like cia to secure tension and secure continous flow of energy --its a big subject i can write a book about it

[bigbossfan1228]

well, even if I buy ur first argument that getting a slightly larger piece of land will be great for the palestinian nationality. However, I am not sure if it is so easy to blame everything on the west. May be tensions in the middle east are related to greed for energy resources.

But, when i say muslims in conflict with others. its not only limited to middle east but its there all over the world. name any place, and u can easily find muslim vs others problem.

[dewpep]

Dear bigbossfan: here's why

in 620 AD Muhammad raided caravan routes, murdered 700 Jews at Khaibar making thier wives sex slaves as war booty, raided and destroyed the pagans of Mecca.

His revelations say to fight in Allahs way FOREVER!

no other religion starts like this.

[hemmel777]

good questions below. Heres another one: why is a supporter of palestinians, who is just an author, is today considered a terrorist by american politicians?

[freesoulsearch]

that what the zionists have been riding for the last 8 years..I hope that will end by this new president Mcain  or Obama...Anyone is calling this prof a terrorist is just a person who does not like to learn and educate himself.

[bigbossfan1228]

can someone here explain? why all the religion related political tensions in the world involve muslims?

[lumpagogo]

Because Moslems are psychopaths who learned how to do things based on the first book of murder, the Bible. It should also be noted that these religionists, as hate-filled and violent as they are against other

religionists, loathe atheists more

than they do each other.

[bkishar]

It's a misconception that political tensions in the Middle East are religion based. Much like any other society on earth, these tensions have their origins in socio-economic factors like poverty, dictatorship, and totalitarian social values. That does not absolve Islamic ideology from guilt however, for it has blocked the way of reform. Accusing one group of people of being the originators of all problems on the planet was in fashion back in the 1930's.

[bigbossfan1228]

i agree that socio-economic issues are the core of the problem

However, my question is not limited to middle east. I am asking about Kashmir, Kosovo, Chechenya, Balkans, London & Madrid Bombings, Theo van Gogh's murder, various African Countries(Nigeria, Somalia, Ethiopia), Bombings in Bali(Indonesia), problems in Malaysia, Thailand, Phillipinnes, and many more .

I can see only one common thing and that is Islamic Fundametalism. I will appreciate anyone who can comment on this.

[LanaHensley]

Why do Palestinians keep pressing the whole thing of "statehood". Why can't they just be happy or move to Lebanon or something? Jews are not "occupying". Israel is their land. Israel is a legal nation. Who else in the world keeps scratching and clawing to take over a country for over 40 years? Give it a rest! So they feel cheated. How about Jordan giving them a piece of land? Someone PLEASE come up with something besides whining and crying. That includes Khalidi in his nice little smooth way.

[freesoulsearch]

why dont give the russian jews and all the european jews from europe your house or your neighborhood instead trying to expell other people from their  own land....You are generous then do it and solve this dam problem

[LanaHensley]

It's not the Palestinian's land. No matter what you or I believe, religiously speaking, the Jewish people won the war in the 60's. It is a legal nation. - And the thing about giving someone my house... what is that supposed to mean? I couldn't house any nation. I have been housing a friend for free for the last eight months. I AM a generous person. That has nothing to do with the point I was making.

[sooskehsiah]

I'm a muslim. I believe in Palestinians rights to have their own country , next to Israel. But at the same time, I resent everything Islamic. It's a cutlt, not a religion and most of its laws violate western interpretation of human rights (study women rights in Islam) . If you don't believe that, go and live among muslims in a typical middleeastern country (Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabi, etc). Only then you'll be able t understand anti muslim sentiments.

[justjeshb]

I think one reason people want to demonise and smear Prof. Khalidi is because he acutally knows about the history of these events unlike any journalist on Fox or other networks do. Beware of academics and the intelligencia!!

[justjeshb]

Unless you call Palestinians "terrorists" then you are biased? Remember that one man's terrorist is another man's hero, but still, if someone said that Israel was a terrorist state they would probably go to jail. Terrorism is one person or a small group killing another small group (not usually 3000 people), not-terrorism is called "war" or "pacification". 12 people killed over 3000 in 9/11, but the US navy killed similar number in Panama, but we only label one "as terrorist"... Hypocrisy?

[benhur55]

Khalidi talks about the Palestinians for more than half an hour and never mentions TERRORISM. This guy is a charlatan who is a wordsmith like Obama.

[kryminalll]

And u couldn't type 4 lines without letting the world know you're an ignoramus. Has he endorsed terrorism? He's as much a terrorist because he's Palestinian as u are a dunce for being American. Open ur mind u coward..Knowledge is strength

[tivibtr3d]

He spoke for 32 minutes, fucktard.

[freesoulsearch]

Fox news put the Florida professor in Jail and hoping to do the same thing this time...NO NO..american are better off  with youtube...Mcain is relying on a dead horse like FOX...bad choice doomed to fail.

[fredsoxnation]

It's a sad era when associating with a man advocating for a fair settlement for a captive, occupied population is used as a smear in electoral politics. Let's only hope that Nov. 4 rejects these tactics - and McCain/Palin - completely.

[Labellyy]

i watched this last night, it had 2,500 or so views. looks like fox story has sparked some curiosity. hopefully the people who have come here because of that ridiculous story see that this man is a reasonable man who tries to represent and bring understanding to a subject that we cannot fully understand without going over there. I don't like how Americans come to such quick judgment about people without trying to understand their position, and trying to put ourselves in their shoes.

[bad444]

I think if not for obama running for prez we would never see the hatred of FOX NEWS and allot of America for Muslims. How and people call him a terrorist because he stands up for Palestine. Bill ayres was with an extreme group but never want convicted and now a respected professor. To say if obama was friend are associates with these PPL and he thinks like them is a stretch. Is like if your not a white christian your not American. I saw "Joe the plumber" say I'm voting for a real American.

[elgammal44]

and palin is saying he is our kind of guy-- so basicly we all have to drop out of school and be total idiots to be her kind of guy

[MIXMASHUP]

thank god for youtube..

whenever i hear a crazy story on fox.. i check youtube and hear an intelligent person speak..

this guy is NO terrorist..

thanks charlie rose

[elgammal44]

i am just wondering and confused --to stand up for palastine now is bad thing or what ??

[LanaHensley]

Same-o Same-o... America is the bad guy putting pressure on Israel to do this and that and we didn't step in at the right time and blah blah blah. Khalidi has an agenda and that is to turn the loyalties of America from Israel to Palestinians. He's well educated, well spoken, seems like a nice guy...but don't fool yourself. He is Yasser Arafat in a Western Suit and accent. His good buddy, Barack Hussien Obama, has given ear to this rant on many occasions.

[MIXMASHUP]

obama was a TEACHER for 12 YEARS! ayers, khalidi.. these guys are also teachers. Thats how he knows these people.

we already have a problem with getting good teachers.. we are now prosecuting teachers for their views and their past.. is this american?

when i was in high school and college, i had a bunch of wierd teachers.

Who else takes a high stress job with low pay & no respect in our money is everything society it doesnt make me a bad person for associating with them..

[TruthSerum88]

Tommy, why exactly is Khalidi a radical? Because he hasn't planted his tongue up AIPAC's ass? Why don't you actually RESEARCH who he is. The many is a well-known scholar and has never advocated violence in any way, but because AIPAC owns every God damned politician in DC -both Reps and Dems- suddenly, being an American who is Palestinian is a crime. How nice that Israel Firsters can try and destroy a man's reputation because he dares to think Israel isn't infallible. He's also Christian.

[nickrock23]

charlie rose is a terrorist

[md20twomp]

John McCain is the chairman of The International Republican Institute and gave 448,000 to Rashid Khalidi

[daderone]

he sure did

[DBCOOPER888]

Yes, he worked for the Palestinian news agency, but saying he's PLO is like saying everyone who works at PBS is a Republican.

[DBCOOPER888]

To call Khalidi a terrorist simply because he supports Palestine is very dangerous considering the vast majority of Muslims are pro-Palestine and anti-Israeli. Khalidi doesn't even have strong ties to the PLO, they are loose, at best. He was a part of the Palestine team at the Madrid conference, in which PLO members were specifically NOT a part of the team as negotiated by Israel.

[user20042004]

Obama is a radical, a socilaist, a marxist. Be careful...

[aftab7000]

To Americans this guy is a terrorist? LOL!

By the way, why are these 'terrorists' like Ayers and Khalidi work as professors in USA?

Are American universities rehabilitation platforms for them or what?

I am a foreigner doing Ph.D. in an American university. Am I surrounded by terrorists or will I become one after I am done with my studies?

Ooooooh! I a scared!

[lamanta70]

They work here because this is the land of oportunity. That's why even an asshole like you gets the chance to study here. Please appreciate that or shut the fuck up and go back to your sorry-ass country!! Go McCain!!!

[WONDAWOMAN]

yes and who funded this "terrorist"? according to Keith Oberman, $448,873.00 WAS given to Khalidi by McCain when he was the Chairman of the International Republican Institute in 1998. McCain's group also gave other grants to Khalidi's group.

[tommyz1052a]

The International Republican Institute (IRI), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that serves as a vehicle for the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the U.S. Agency for International Development, was created by the Ronald Reagan administration in 1983 to push democratization efforts and roll back the influence of the Soviet Union.

Its not McCains group , the group gave money to a group founded by khalidi to do polling. Not Khalidi!

This is different than having a antisemite as a friend

[tommyz1052a]

The IRI funded pollins in Kenya, Cuba and Iran. This argument is hilarious. Keep drinking the Koolaide.

The La Times article specificall is titled "Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama" in it , it states that Obama was personal friends with him. Traded recipes and also " challenged his thinking"

What sort of thinking? we have a RIGHT TO KNOW FROM A FUTURE PRESIDENT" What was said?

Obama seems to have a knack for associating with very radical people.

[elgammal44]

u already made the guy terrorist ???? God --when will it stop--- go read a book plzzzzzzzzz

[freesoulsearch]

If you call this guy is a terrorist with who has a  PhD.. and writting Books..Surely, the terrorist is far better educated well spoken than the idiot bush.

[lamanta70]

Anybody can write a book and get a PhD...there are, indeed, terrorists taking advantage of the freedom of our country and studying here. By the way, go fuck yourself you fucking rug head terrorist!

[freesoulsearch]

Sure you have neither...PhD and teaching at Columbia is not for everyone especially ignorant people like you who has nothing to say except swearing.The guy is a better american than you who pays his taxes and dont forget that Charlie Rose does not invte stupid people such you are...Obama and true americans are here to end this long dirty chapter the zionists grip over Washington

[freesoulsearch]

To be honest..being associated with criminals like zionists is the biggest setback for any politician...so barack Obama

[fyndor]

How can McCain slam Obama for his connection to this guy. He seems like a very reasonable observer of the Israel and Palastine conflict. Sounds like a smart guy to talk to if you want to understand the dynamics of this issue.

[lamanta70]

Please learn how to spell Palestine. And go fuck yourself in the meantime!

[MIXMASHUP]

totally agree with fyndor.. i just learned a lot by watching this video..

fox news should be pay per view.. america is paying.. a high price for their lies...

[Spurgeon123]

Another close friend of Obama How can you be in the same circle with these guys unless you see eye to eye.

[lamanta70]

They ARE in the same page, to change our beautiful country into a Communist pro-Arab nation...so the hell with all of them and GO MCCAIN!!!!!!

[WONDAWOMAN]

you are so brainwashed and simple minded. I have a bridge to sell you.. the bridge to NOWHERE! LOL.. look at my comment above about your boy McCain giving almost $500k to your little terrorist! You fall for anything don't you? As long as it makes you feel comfortable. America is just looking sadder and sadder by the day.

[honolulunapapijri]

terrorislam666 is a fool

[Diamonddavej]

Faux News are call Khalidi "PLO activist Rashid Khalidi", and whey when discuss Khalidi they run video footage of Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and quote Ahmadinejad anti-Israel hate rhetoric, by connection they falsely infer Khalidi holds the same extremist views. Reminds me of the worst days of the McCarthyite era.

Emotions have been stirred during this election, including very dark emotions, I wonder if this honorable professor will be requesting police protection.

[elgammal44]

lol--- fox news are profisonals at such stuff

[Diamonddavej]

I'm in Ireland, only seen Fox News on Sky News UK, interviewing their affiliate reporters.

Sky's news readers squirm awkwardly when talking to Fox reporters, they get Fuaxy. Sky tries to keep them on track, not easy. They only talks to Fox when there is a Tornado or Hurricane etc., a neutral topic. Sky has to remains neutral, that's UK rules.

I used to listen to Radio Moscow on SW for the laugh in 80s, Fox is propaganda. Do Fox give Tractor production figures? Say Beloved Leader?

[hunjix]

And here is the guy who McCain is trying to slam Obama through guilt-by-association!!!

He is touting the notion that Palestinians have made some very bad choices throughout their struggle... Wow! He is a dangerous man (insert extreme sarcasm).

[northportman]

terror sympathizing asshole. where is the cia when you need them

[EveryPennyofIt]

So, the book is about all the mistakes that the Palestinians made, all of their missed opportuntites and poor judgements and the book is called The Iron Cage? Oh, I get it! It's all the U.S.'s fault!!! Silly me!!

[joshddog]

Die you terroist douche!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[666RUS]

he is no terrorist you ignorant fool. The Palestinians have lost there homes and there dignity to move around there country if you can call it that. The true terrorists are the Israelis who commit genocide. The sad thing is our government shouldnt support either side yet we give israel at least by our governments reports (which is probably more then what they say.) is 16 billion a year and Israel is no bigger then Rhode island.

[terrorislam666]

Looks like you are the ignorant fool...Israel is larger than the state of RI. It is approx. the size of NJ.

The US gives Israel money since they are the sole democracy in a region crowded by monkeys. Where has the state of Israel fomented genocide. Don't get caught up on foment you fool.

[honolulunapapijri]

Shut the fuck up you ignorant piece of crap

HOW CAN THE OCCUPIAR BE VICTIM AT THE SAME TIME

[terrorislam666]

Amen.

Gorillas don't sleep near lions...Arabs don't sleep near Jews.

[benhur55]

So this is Obama's foreign affairs advisor who teaches at a university that does not allow military recruiting. He is a slick salesman so listen close.

Listen to the full interview and you will notice you never hear the word "terrorism."

He believes our military should go into Lebanon to secure the area. Remember we tried that once and "terrorists" bombed our Marines.

He also makes the allegation with no proof that it was America that told Israel not to make peace with Syria.

[greenupyo]

Great

Such a great Palestanian acadymic, enlightening the the truth on the middle east and the Arab world crisis. Thank you Professor Rashid and you remind me of the great Palestanian professor Edward Said.
