Que- Where did the Holocaust happen?
Jew - In Europe..

Que- So why did Palestinians had to pay the price and continue to do it from their own pocket?
Jew- Err..because this land was taken away from our forefathers 2000 years ago..now we want it back!

"It would be my greatest sadness to see Zionists (Jews) do to Palestinian Arabs much of what Nazis did to Jews."
― Albert Einstein

Mahatma Gandhi rejected Zionism, famously saying that "Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs... Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home." Gandhi rejected the idea of a Jewish State in Palestine, saying that Biblical concepts of Palestine didn't constitute geographical tracts, and that the "real Jerusalem is the spiritual Jerusalem".

Zionism is opposed by a wide variety of organizations and individuals. Among those opposing Zionism are secular Jews, some branches of Judaism (Satmar Hasidim and Neturei Karta), the former Soviet Union, some African-Americans, many in the Muslim world, and Palestinians. Reasons for opposing Zionism are varied, and include the perceptions of unfair land confiscation, expulsions of Palestinians, violence against Palestinians, and alleged racism. Arab states in particular strongly oppose Zionism, which they believe is responsible for the 1948 Palestinian exodus.

Some critics of Zionism describe it as racist or discriminatory and specifically identify Judaism's notion of "chosen people" as the source of racism in Zionism. In December 1973, the UN passed a series of resolutions condemning South Africa and included a reference to an "unholy alliance between Portugese colonialism, Apartheid and Zionism." Parallels have also been drawn between aspects of South Africa's apartheid regime and certain Israeli policies toward the Palestinians, which are seen as manifestations of racism in Zionist thinking. Following the oil embargo and with Soviet, Islamic and African support the Arab League was able to wield its numeric advantage in the UN General Assembly to pass, in 1975, Resolution 3379, which said that "Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination".

Some critics of Zionism have described Israel's Law of return as racist because it discriminates against Arabs, while the official position of the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs is that "the Law of Return is not a privilege set apart for members of the Jewish faith and denied to non-Jews; the bestowal of the 'right of return' to Israel to non-Jews or to persons without a Jewish relative is illogical and contradicts the principal purpose of setting up a Jewish State as prescribed by the UN Resolution of November 1947, the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and the League of Nations Mandate of 1922." Palestinians and advocates for Palestinian refugee rights criticize the Law of Return, which they compare to the Palestinian claim to a right of return. These critics consider the Law, as contrasted against the denial of the right of Palestinian refugees to return, as offensive and as institutionalized ethnic discrimination.

Noam Chomsky, John P. Quigly, Nur Masalha, and Cheryl Rubenberg have described the criticism of Zionism that it unfairly confiscates land and expels Palestinians. Saleh Abdel Jawad, Nur Masalha, Michael Prior, Ian Lustick, and John Rose have described a criticism of Zionism that it has been responsible for violence against Palestinians, such as the Deir Yassin massacre, Sabra and Shatila massacre, and Cave of the Patriarchs massacre.

"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attacks on the twin towers and the pentagon and the American struggle in Iraq. These events swung American public opinion in our favor"
― Benjamin Netanyahu, PM of Israel

    I would like to know where you got this audio from what program? Can you tell me the name of the host? I would sincerely like to know who this person is?

  • @Ryukikon This is British MP George Galloway, from the program Real Deal on Press Tv..

  • Arabs are from (Saudi) Arabia and all the Arabs can go back there.

    This way, Jews, Nubians, Phoenicians, Assyrians, Berbers, Chaldeans and Phoenicians can all have their land back and have some PEACE.

  • @SatchmoSings Nobody is asking the Arabs to go anywhere..Its only the European immigrants causing all the problems in the Holy Land..

  • If Lucifer is the all powerful Jewish god than where was he prior to 1948 for five thousands years and if he is that all omnipotent Jewish god than where was he on the so-called holocaust. Could it be that it was him who kept Jews from settling anywhere in the word and could it be that holocaust was a hoax and was his invention? Doesn't he know that he cannot use those evidences which he planted in any court of law. That is fraud, illegal and against law.

  • @MeX2004 Lucifer is not GOD, he is just a rebellious creation of GOD..Who has a pact with GOD to respite him till judgment day as he tries to misguide other creations of GOD..

see all

    That isn't true, no Jews were expelled from those countries. Stop playing pathetic victim. If all the Muslim nations were out to "kill/expel Jews," wouldn't you think nations like Iran would start with their own people? After all, there are 200,000 Jews living in Iran. They're angry at you, and rightfully so, over what you're doing to the Palestinians. Sorry buddy, but demanding Isreal be held accountable for it's crimes and actions doesn't make me an "anti-semite."

  • This has been my experience debating with Zionists or people who support Israel. Despite the mounting evidence and rationality to oppose the very concept/foundation of the state; the counter arguments drift more and more on the absurd level and finally drift into mysticism. It's impossible to negotiate with people who refuse to see what's in front of them. In the end, I've discovered it's not worth the energy. Zionism is an oxymoron to reason. It's the witchdoctor science of our era.

  • well this is quite funny as to how he says that Jews have expelled "palestinians" from "palestine" well why not look at countries like yemen or just generally countries in the persian gulf. there were Jews living there for centuries and they have been expelled from their lands. there are "palestinians" living in Israel freely. I have grandparents who had grandparents who lived in

    Israel before it was declared a state, there were Jewish farms in Israel before the deceleration of the state.

  • There is only one answer G-d made all the lands so G-d can give them to any one he wishes and he did they are called the Jews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • every nation has a right to exist. listen. Israel won. sorry Palestinians, you still have land so stop complaining. i believe that if the Palestinians and the Israeli BOTH have a right to exist as they are RIGHT NOW. its just like the PRC(Chinese mainland) and the ROC(driven back to Taiwan) both exist and have a right to. BUT if one were to take over the other than the losing country would be neutralized and would no longer be a country. the Palestinians should be grateful that Israel alows its

  • the land belong to u based on ethnic right or religious right ? what i see now most of jews come from european origin and they have nothing to do with semitic blood ! so what they are asking for ? what if i convert to judaism will i have the right in palestine ?

  • May Almighty God bless US.....

  • @SatchmoSings no no no, all the arabs form a giant army, and march on israel, kill everything there until theres no one left, the whole place gets land mine'd and then theres peace. :

  • lolol - REALLY?? i can c galloways point - this guy hes talking to IS BRIT - jewish and BRIT - if he wants to move to Israel fine but he in truth is a technically a "foreigner" and should have to apply 4 citizenship - get work - buy a house - & settle in just like any other immigrant to another country - but still its all rather stupid to screech that the jewish ppl are "OCCUPIERS" bc (con't - 1 of 5)

  • the jewish ppl have always BEEN in Israel - for THOUSANDS of yrs - so how can u take something back that u had anyway? I do understand during the wars the palestinians lost alot of land - but they started the fight so if u wanna pick a fight dont cry over ur black eye- BUT - regardless
