1:43:07 The British never "gave up Palestine", the British never had Palestine. I'm so happy to listen to Norman and Mouin in this context, they really are deluded by some mythological belief system.

McLuhan also predicted "The Global Village" would turn tribal and a blood bath would ensue. Video online with him saying so. More than Huxley, more than Orwell, McLuhan has predicted what humans would do this this "tool".

Here is history, not Taqiyya "BOOK/PRINTED MATERIAL Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921." - Library of Congress

@AliAliAli9Ali BTW, Said was a gentleman and a scholar, he would not align with many of the assertions today about Jews and the term "invader" being used. He knew that was not true. "Peace will only come to the Middle East when the rights and aspirations of both Palestinians and Israelis are recognized and respected." - Edward Said

@AliAliAli9Ali The lie began before 1948, and is reported by the 3rd Arab Congress in 1921. Haj Amin al-Husseini incited the Jerusalem riots with this lie even before the 1922 White Paper was written. The Arabs threatened to join the Germans, and indeed, Haj Amin did join the Nazis, becoming friends with Eichmann and Hitler and running an SS brigade of Bosnian Muslims. There's even a new Egyptian movie about out now. The lie and threats of violence are online in its original form "Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921." - Library of Congress (PDF)

@AliAliAli9Ali "Arabs"? in Andalusia ruled, you should check the DNA of Abd al-Rahman III, his hair was so red he had to paint it Black. LOL. You should also check the current DNA of the King of Jordan and his wife. There are crazies in every religion and ethnicity who seek power based on identity,, which is a very powerful emotion, and why it's a trick played by almost all tyrants and dictators. If you want to check on an identity trickster who captured a city and then pissed on it like an animal marking its territory, then learn about the Umayyad Caliph 'Abd al-Malik bin Marwan or the earlier and longer Trans-Saharan slave trade sourced from different places in sub-Saharan Africa, destined for locations north of the Sahara Desert, the Mediterranean shores, and the Middle East. This method of turning humans into communities has been reborn in Libya and some of the Gulf States. Russia held Crimea before the "Golden Horde" of Tartars, check YOUR history, and before that Greeks and Romans.

@AliAliAli9Ali Yes, Said did fall under the spell of the Western/Marxist philosophy of oppressor/oppressed and its victimology. The "Orientalists" have learned it well and now using it as a public relations tool across the Western World. It's a sickness, one that is only now being diagnosed. Again, look at this document, read it. Everything you just described was written by Arabs against Jews. All the fear and disgust for Jews was written in this document, and the threat of violence, too, all before the 1922 White Paper calling for two-States. "Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921." - Library of Congress I'd add the subjugation of Jews was written into Islamic Law in the 9th Century. Dhimmi, a true Apartheid.
1
@AliAliAli9Ali I'd add, that when Catherine of Russia re-annexed Crimea in the 18th Century, she abolished Ottoman/Muslim SLAVERY and instituted Western courts and rule of law. The Ottomans would not sign on to the Westphalian Peace agreements, an issue we are living with today in the old Levant. Israel is a nation/state, we should resist the "reconquest" of Andalusia and the myth of a global Caliphate.

@AliAliAli9Ali "man of the Prophet's lineage (the Idrisid state)." Islam was first brought to Morocco in 681 A.D. by an Arab invasion under the Uqba ibn Nafi, who was a general serving under the Umayyads of Damascus. In 788, The Shia Idrisids who espoused pro Zaydi views ruled large parts of Morocco. I'd solve the Shia/Sunni schism of 14 hundred years before making judgements about others.

@AliAliAli9Ali Iran’s Islamic revolution, which brought Shias to power in 1979, and the Sunni backlash have fueled a competition for regional dominance. This timeline highlights Sunni-Shia tensions in recent decades. A million Muslims died in this conflict which continues to this day. Not 35 years ago, but close to 50. July 5, 1980 Shiite Protests in Pakistan Expose Sectarian Tensions Tens of thousands of Shias protest in Islamabad against the imposition of some Sunni laws on all Muslims. Pakistan’s president gives Shias an exemption. The Shia tribes of the mid-Euphrates region saw themselves increasingly under-represented in the Sunni-dominated Iraqi government, which further deteriorated with the exclusion of key Shia sheikhs from the Iraqi parliament in 1934 elections. The issue with Sunni dominated Iraq predates Israel. They had nothing to do with it.

@AliAliAli9Ali The early Safavid rulers took a number of steps against the Sunni Ulama of Iran. These steps included giving the Ulama the choice of conversion, death, or exile and massacring the Sunni clerics who resisted the Shia transformation of Iran, as witnessed in Herat. As a result, many Sunni scholars who refused to adopt the new religious direction lost their lives or fled to the neighboring Sunni states. Iran became Shia in the 16th century when the Safavid dynasty made Shi'ism the state religion

No question many Zionists were non-religious. Zionism was a reaction to the growing Nationalist movements in Europe, especially the unification of Germany under Bismark. In the 1920s a wave of Socialists also arrived. Both the PA and HAMAS called for "From the River to the Sea". What does that mean?

Less than 2,000 years, more like 1,500, and why logic suspect.

Transfer also occurred with the loss of the Hejaz by the Hashemites to Ibn Saud. 1920/30s, as a consolation prize, the British gave Jordan and Iraq to them.

No Jewish man in America would describe themselves in that way, LOL, and Bassem is a hyperbolic polemicist and bigot. I'm a Jew, a registered Democrat in California, both my parents were born here, my great-grand parents came to America, not as Zionists, but as Socialists, and helped create the 40-hour work week and hospitals for workers and the poor. Even a Socialist summer camp, naming streets after Karl Marx and Eugene Debs. Easy to fact check early 20th Century socialism and its roots in Southern California. If you are a Jew, then research the origin story of the Dome of the Rock and Umayyad Caliph 'Abd al-Malik bin Marwan's political fantasy. Solomon's Temple is a material fact, the Night Ride on a Donkey to Jerusalem is NOT. Jerusalem is not even mentioned in the Qur'an.

@shabbydabbydo314 Arab states do that, Israel is a secular State with legal protection for all. There are Arabs on the Knesset, in the IDF and on the Supreme Court. Show me the comparable in any one of the 22 Arab States.
1
@DhiaFraj92 The proposed 2 states came out in 1922, not after WW2. The leader of the Palestinians, Haj Amin al-Husseini, was part of the 3rd Reich and led a Bosnian Muslim SS Brigade in WW2. Those Jews who fled the Russian Empire are not the majority in Israel, only about 34%. 21% of Israel is Arab.

@iscrabafish Saying it doesn't matter who started it is a no starter and denies the history of human beings. No "Father" figure can step in and end it without some form of warfare. Do you want a UN police force?

@MarkAbraham-wy8ph "Everybody to exist" is itself "hasbara" and also Taqiyya. In the West we call it dialectical inversion, something taught in the Soviet style schools in Egypt. Bassem does not believe the Westphalian Nation/State of Israel should exist, that is clear.
1
@DhiaFraj92 No, you history is not correct, the Balfour Declaration did not create anything, is was a suggestion, so was the 1922 White Paper. The majority of Israelis are not from Eastern Europe. The Arabs who were traitors to the Ottoman Turks and then the British did not want a majority Jewish state of any kind. The Arabs threatened violence if the West created one, and they have kept that promise. Read this: "Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921" The Foundation Stone of Solomon's Temple is material fact, the Rock under the Dome is a political fantasy by Marwan. Jerusalem is not even mentioned in the Qur'an.

@MarkAbraham-wy8ph not my comment, but one made by the Arab Congress more than 100 years ago, a "ridicule" that has stood the test of time.

@NoorAlam-jw2zj I'm a native of California, so are both my parents, born in Los Angeles in the early 1920s. Iran is a threat because they say there are. How is that not a fact? And why does El-Kurd deflect. What was the role of the Kurds in the Armenian genocide and current status of Christians in Lebanon, Syria and Turkey?

Taqiyya, read this, the "lie" is over 100 years old. The Foundation Stone is material fact, the night ride on a Donkey is a political fantasy: "Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921." - Library of Congress

Father of the Lie: Haj Amin al-Husseini The claim that the Jews were scheming to destroy the Al-Aksa and rebuild the Temple, was started by Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini.
1
Egypt was the only country after WW2 to welcome a Nazi leader and give him sanctuary, Haj Amin al-Husseini, friend of both Hitler and Eichmann. Husseini contributed to the Nazi war effort by setting up Bosnian Muslim battalions that were attached to the Waffen-SS. These soldiers fought Partisans in Bosnia and massacred civilians there. Husseini also tried to convince the Axis authorities to bomb Tel Aviv, and to extend the "Final Solution" to the Jews in North Africa and Palestine. When he was informed of various Nazi plans to exchange Jewish lives for goods or large sums of money, he strenuously lobbied against them. After the war, Husseini was arrested in France, but he escaped and found refuge in Egypt. He continued to be active in Arab matters until his death.
