Mustafa Barghouti and Steve Clemons on Israeli Elections

[Ascatratproduction]

Mustafa Barghouti is a great man, who should be invited to speak more in the mainstream media.

He's an advocate for non-violence

So unihammer...what you're saying is that Israel treats Palestinians fairly and humanely, wants to give them the land that is legally theirs by international law, wants to stop illegally building settlements and moving settlers into Palestinian owned homes, wants lift a blockade of supplies necessary for BASIC human survival but...an agreement with a Palestinian isn't worth the paper it is written on...OK. That sounds reasonable. Honestly, calmly and patiently PLEASE reassess your remark.

[unihammer]

To answer Barghouti's comment that 80% of the electorate voted fro right wing parties. I'm not sure this is accurate but even if it were, what it shows is not that Israelis don't want peace, in fact they want peace very much but feel that a peace agreement with the Palestinians isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Nearly all parties in Israel are right-wing!

I was hoping to hear some insights from Barghouti, but instead this has turned into an excuse to launch a diatribe against Israel.

unihammer, unlike you, I actually expected this from Barghouti, but I watched the video anyway for comedy value, because he's such an extreme propagandist that it's funny to listen to him spout such inflammatory inventions with a straight face. What a joker.
