Conversations with History: Amira Hass

[cpnankin]

In 1977 Zohair Mohsin - PLO executive council member, said..... “It is only for tactical reasons that we carefully stress our Palestinian identity for it is in the national interest of the Arabs to encourage a separate Palestinian identity to counter Zionism, the founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the ongoing battle against Israel”

[cpnankin]

israel comprises less than 1% of the whole mideast. it has seen the presence of a jewish community for the past 3000 years. the heart of the conflict is the rejection of this right to exist in the land. if her enemies dropped their weapons there'd be peace next wednesday. however if israel dropped hers, she would be toast by tomorrow.

[Mrgokueldestructor]

''A people with no land for a land with no people'' that was the original Jewish people´s slogan, a slogan that was violated and stained with blood by the sionist demons..

The occupation of Israel is supossedly ''preventive'' that means Israel can kill and devastate palestine for crimes that they still don´t commit.

After the foundation of the Israeli regime, there were relative peace, conflicts were light between ppl, but the sionist demons established there, and since then they´re responsible

excellent work!

[tijan07]

The truth is always disgusting for people who does support falsehood! You people hate the arabs but you seem to forget, the past. Your people have been living for so many centuries peacefully in arab countries!Who followed, hated &killed you people? Forgot that fact? You have a right to exist, why not palestinians too. Why can't you share with them, as they did with you! Anybody who would live in their conditions would do so cause it's as you're already dead! Why should they leave you in peace?

[cpnankin]

@tijan07 the arabs who chose to stay in israel have full rights and the best living standards in the mid east! yet majority of them do not have palestinian ancestry - ancestors came to israel for work during the major jewish return starting in the 19th C. this why the definition for refugee was reworked just for them in 1948 as being someone who had been in the country for just two years!!! they fled israel in coordination with arab attack on israel the day after it was formed according to law!

[amet1980]

in case you havent been giving attentions none is paying attention to war-criins appologists as yourself..

american pupic attitudes are changng fast..

[amet1980]

israel is look as the new south afrika by most europeans..

usa prevented e.u plasing a embargo on israel in 2002 but israel is heading to the inevitable very fast..

[constipatedart]

How do the atrocities perpetrated by Palestinian terrorists justify the presence of Israeli settlements? If someone can answer this question I will never criticize Israel again.

If you can't, then I suggest you stop using the tragic deaths of your own people to justify taking other people's land.

[kazearaki]

excellent point my friend

just look at any commentary made by zionist in these pages

none make any sense!

israel need more gideon levy and amira hass and less zionist!

[ALEXTASY123]

@kazearaki

Yes!!!

Even though they seem so embittered at times

[cpnankin]

@constipatedart let me relieve constipation & bring some fact to your art. these lands not occupied. they never been allocated by UN to any group! look up multinational origins of "palestinians". under military since 1967 when all surrounding countries tried to wipe out israel. results of giving this land to PA control would be disastrous, as been evidenced by handover of Gaza. should be obvious when consider Hamas charter perogative kill jews! compassion needs 2 be balancd with look at big pic.

[mensoelrey]

How dare you people call her "self-hating" and a liar? If you listen to what she says and read her books--which I am sure none of you have--you will see that she wants Israelis and the world to see the injustice of the occupation. You are clearly closed minded people who care more for a country than for peace and justice.

[rachelgolem]

@mensoelrey

Laughing when Syrians kill each other is NOT Anti-Semitism!!!!!

[DanKelso]

This is what Amira said.

It is still impossible to know how many people are buried under the ruins in the Jenin refugee camp, where the smell of decomposing bodies mingles with the stench of garbage and the scent of geraniums and mint.

Lies Lies Lies and more Lies by Amira.

There was no decomposing bodies. This was all Pallywood lies.

Amira again caught lying as she did when she was sued for her lies in Hebron.

[DanKelso]

Amira Hass venom against Israel.

Why doesn't Amira decry the murder of innocent Israeli children and adults by Palestinian Homicide bombers.

The murder of Israeli's observing Passover, in restaurants, hotels, disco's and the hell the surviving victims of these acts of Palestinian terror face for the rest of there lives.

[righthand48]

Heroic 'self-hating' Jew.

A voice crying in the wilderness of Zionism.

[trance2307]

I have the utmost respect for this woman, who happens to share the same name as my late aunt (off topic completely!).

[tessler6868]

ah ely, get your ample ass over there if you want to know more israel than her ;)

[engelolo]

Amira seems to be strongly inspired by foucault's approach to power and liberalism. It would be interesting to analyse this data more rigorously using a stronger theoretical approach.

[mdoob11]

Similar to Chomsky's as well.

[xanderkhaan]

i ralised there some decent jews like Amira Hass and rabbi wiez unfortunatly to many jews look the other way and remain silent mmmmmmmmm sound like germany 1940s

[xanderkhaan]

hey fuckpal u dumb shit if they wanted hamas dead and not innocnt gazans they whould have sent troops in and not carpet bombs the place " isreals gassed the palistinians in the tunnel and took their land - the pals had deeds to their properties

[rulingbidet]

KILLING PALESTINIANS AT A RATIO OF `8 vs 1` YEAR AFTER YEAR AND THEN CLAIMING ISRAEL IS THE VICTIM OF TERRORISM AND ANTI-SEMITISM IS SIMPLY LAUGHABLE BY ANY RATIONAL, LOGIC, RELIGION OR CREED!. NO EXCUSES ARE CREDIBLE FOR THESE LEVELS OF USA SPONSORED ISRAELI STATE TERRORISM. NOT EVEN THE JEWISH TANAK ALLOWS KILLING BEYOND AN EYE FOR AN EYE!!!.

[fuckpal]

first of all all references to Gaza is now changed Israel left the area unitaterly and still got attacked fronm Gaza so much for concept of occupation root cause of evail.

2ed she said that all this pass & permite and closures and check points are designed to weaken palestinian will and leave the territory and farms and jewish settlements to come and replace them how is that palestinian population has lowest immigration rate of any ME country even smaller then Israel itself

[utupeitupe]

i read in haaratz that the government of israel has this program where they have people go on line to question any negative comments of israel policies on line like youtube and other places ,and you sound like one of them,are you?

[fuckpal]

I heared there is such program in IDF where they mainly concerned with groups attacking israeli military or govermental websites and networks, but on youtube there are plenty of people even in israel that criticiez israeli policy like Amira Hass, if by saying this you trying to imply what we say as privet citezens of the world is somehow part of a conspricy well it is very clever but it wount work because i am in Iraq and not even in israel, but i support Israel 100% death to palestine

[adamsidd]

yeah.......we can see why that is

[fuckpal]

unfortunetly this wars is hamass fault, Israel dose not want to fight this war and is reluctent to do it but hamas left Israel no choice and unfortunatly they hide behind humen shield and civiliam population and meny have did when israel defend itself, God bless all the virgins

[pistons1ply]

before you speak of such issue, you need to educate yourself about the situation and fully understand the topic before you judge whose fault it is.

[InL0veWithIslam]

did you pay attention to this video at all?

[ai4170]

The Israeli public relations machinery happily presented the disengagement as the end of the occupation, in brazen disregard of the facts. The siege of Gaza did not begin when Hamas seized control of the Strip's security organs, or when Gilad Shalit was taken captive, or when Hamas was elected in democratic elections. The siege began in 1991 - before the suicide bombings. And since then, it has only become more sophisticated, reaching its peak in 2005.

[ai4170]

Israelies have an excuse and rational explanation for everything. The day Israelies run out of excuses is the day that Israel ends.

[fuckpal]

hey but i am not Israeli or jewish.

[02011982]

How can you call one man Terrorist after he went through all this and his loved been killed "by mistake" and his land taken from him or he was forced out because of his basic rights been taken from him and he got to the point to not being able to deal with all this and take some explosive and try to defend his right because he got no other way to fight it no more and Yet we call him Terrorist? He is Hero not terrorist. Give him his rights and ability to defend. Than judge him. Sad shit!

[02011982]

I'M happy that there is people like Amra. She is truly great person just being able to see true and having ability to judge both sides equally.

I hate Zionist and law in Gaza strip is same That Nazi Germany had against Jews back in day.I'm talking about before they start taking them to camps. So is it right/fear?

[AromaJohanna]

Yes Amira Hass is truely an admirable strong woman, we need more people like her...

I was just wondering one thing... This video was added 15th of feb 2008 and I can't see any other date... Amira mentioned israeli settlements in Gaza blocking a big part of the sea shore - but did not israel give up all the settlements in Gaza a few yeras ago?

[Rafic505]

The very beginning it says "October 24th, 2003", right there on the screen!

[rodolfete1]

Wonderful. One of the most brilliant voices I have heard.
