Comments by "Rummana Daoud" (@Pomegranate_David) on "4 young Palestinian refugees on resistance, Gaza, and exile" video.

  1. How easy it is for you to judge these women from your cushy western lifes. Even Norman finklestein acknowledges that the Palestinians have the right to defend themselves against their oppressors, even if it is a armed resistance. As peaceful resistance has not achieved any results. You are siding with the bully in this instance. You single out the last speaker as being problematic in her rhetoric but don't acknowledge that the majority of Israeli Jews are right wingers that don't even consider the Palestinians as having any humanity. Watch some of Abby Martin's coverage of what Israeli Jews think of Palestinians if you don't believe me.

  2.  @MaxoticsTV  So you admit you are biased when it comes to the conflict as you have Israeli friends. Have you spoken to any Palestinians yourself to ask them to tell you how they live as second class citizens in their own homeland? Probably not. History is always written by the victors so cannot be trusted as a source objectively and in school is often nothing more than western imperialist propaganda. If you want the facts pertaining to the conflict I advise you to watch Norman finklestein as nobody is more knowledgeable on the conflict than him.

  3.  @MaxoticsTV  I have watched many of Corey's videos and he is not going to show the ugly bigoted views of Israeli Jews as he is Jewish himself so I suggested you watch some of Abby Martin's interviews with Israeli Jews to get a balance. You seem to think that the Palestinians are the ones who don't want a peace deal when many commentators state that Israel has become increasingly right wing over the last decade or so and they have no intention of negotiating a deal with the Palestinians. Look up Miko Peled an Israeli humanitarian, his insights are from living in Israel. I am sure you can also acknowledge that the conflict is notorious for only presenting the Israeli view via the MSM so that will colour western sentiment towards the Palestinians, in particular the classifying of Hamas as a terrorist organisation which is not accurate. I would consider them to be freedom fighters. I don't judge the Palestinians as they are humiliated and arrested for minor issues. I agree there should be peace but the international community only takes an interest when the conflict escalates and without the US threatening to stop funding arms to Israel then nothing will change and the Palestinians will continue to have more land stolen from them by settlers. Maybe you should talk to the Palestinians you rent from to ask them for their perspective.

  5. I thought she was the most passionate and the best speaker as she was honest in her appraisal of the conflict and the lack of any real support politically. What did you find borderline in her comments?
