Greetings from Spain! I enjoyed so much this conversation with the professor of Columbia University.
My knowledge on this conflict was broadened!
Thanks for this opportunity.
Really glad you used your platform to spread truth and information. You have my upmost respect!
Thank you so much for posting this.
Tom this is awesome.. thanks for doing this.. I will share with many
Wasn't expecting a post like this from you but it's absolutely brilliant and I'm pleasantly surprised.
I will take one of your tours for sure.
Thanks again
Thank you, Tom, for interviewing Dr. Khalidi. Your enthusiasm, Tom, towards the information in the book, as well as the mutual respect towards one another, was heartfelt. I am excited about reading the book, so, I, too, can intelligently, and calmly, discuss the issues that many people say is "too complicated" to understand. Perhaps that's just a dismissive excuse to avoid a pertinent conversation.
I have just read Doctor Rashid Khalidi's book 'The Hundred Years' War on Palestine,' part autobiography, part, history,
it is beautifully written.
Great video, Tom! Incredibly informative. I would love to see more videos like this from you in the future
Wonderful interview! Thank you, Tom and Prof. Khalidi.
thank to inviting the professor,
as a Palestinian in Gaza his family refugeed from masmyea village 1948
Ok, I really never thought I'd get this crossover.
This video needs to go viral starting with everyone in this chat!❤
I had never come across your channel until today, but when I saw Professor Khalidii’s name in the title, I zoomed in, as I had just finished The Hundred Years War. I have just subscribed and will share this far and wide! Mad respect to both of you!!!
Yet Allah never mentions Palestine even once. Still calls the land Israel
Very Educational! I am glad I watched and LISTENED and now I see many sides of this conflict/war. I hope for Peace and a resolution for all people. I wished ALL learn to live together PEACEFULLY. Signed a WASP
It is unbelievable how little of the truth is known. I now believe that most news we consume is generated by PR concerns.
You won’t get this perspective in the mainstream media!
Yet Allah never mentions Palestine even once. Still calls the land Israel
The mainstream media is full of propaganda that is controlled by corporate interests… and corporate interests also control government, because the US is an oligarchy, not a democracy!
Other excellent channels for truth: the Intercept, The Real News Network (especially with Chris Hedges), electric intifada, Katie Halper, Zeteo.
@@seekthetruthandthetruthwil2388Neither did God mention the Ottoman or British Empire.
Tom, thanks for taking a huge risk to do this very excellent interview with esteem Professor Dr. Khalid. I have shared it on X. 🌟🌟🌟
Me too !
Very elucidating. Thank you for this interview with Professor Khalidi.
Professor Khalidi sprinkles truth in his lies. His tenure will finish.
Congrats Tom, you're raising the bar with each video. It seems like the law degree is coming in handy after all 😊 Keep up the great work 👏👏👏
I enjoyed this interview with Prof Khalidi. Thanks Tom
thats because you dont have knowledge on the matter. He gave very misconstrued information
@@madcatter1 One sided.
@@annaan8232 too bad people have such little understanding of history and are fooled by these so called professors who speak calmly and seem to be knowledgeable to the unsuspecting individuals
@@madcatter1 You are incorrect. Everything he's saying agrees with what Israeli historians have discovered after the declassification of Israeli and British documents from the mid-40s. See books by Ilan Pappe, Avi Shlaim, and Simha Flappan. (Pappe and Shalim also have UA-cam vids.)
@@danaplaczek9664 No, its actually not true. Why cant we find any history on such a nation? Their leaders, kings, rulers, currency, flag, Day of Independence? Biblical sources, Archaeological artifacts etc. Makes you wonder doesnt it?
This was really great. Really appreciate you doing this, and orofessor Khalidi for being so generous with time.
THANK YOU, for a very informative interview. PLEASE SHARE THIS FAR & WIDE, thank you.
❤ good to get the story summarized by one who really knows. This was the best khalidi interview -for my needs - that I have heard.
Lol, very one sided partisan narrative of history.
The truth doesn't take sides.
The heart-breaking betrayal of the Palestinian people is that Professor Khalidi, for all his fluency and eloquence, does little more than perpetuate the false promise that the clock can be turned back to pe-1948.
I suggest you watch ua-cam.com/video/w1Tsl9mEwhE/v-deo.html for an Israeli centrist's view of the conflict.
Very informative video, thank you to both.
This was a fantastic interview. Highly recommend the full interview. Its so eye opening
Great interview, Tom. Thank you for acknowledging and having the guts to address the this oppressing situation.
So looking forward to watching this very soon, Tom! Just saw it posted & want to wait to watch when I could give it my undivided attention. I got as far as “sorry I’m talking so fast, I drank a lot of coffee.” 😅 I can relate! Hehe
I've watched a lot of your work in the past but today I have a whole new respect for you and your channel
This is BS please try to look at other sources
Came for the neighborhood tours. Staying for the enlightenment on current events. You are becoming something more, Tom. Congrats
If the United Nation's continues to waffle on the creation of Palestine, it too deserves Accountability.
The UN created Israel.
It gave half or more of the Palestinians' territory to Israel.
The UN had no right to do this.
Ever since the war in Palestine
Has been a civil war.
The Palestinians are not terrorists.
The Palestinians are the legitimate
RESISTANCE.
ZIONISTS ARE THE INVADERS.
THEY ARE COLONISTS.
THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE IN PALESTINE.
My gosh, how this beautiful man has stuffed the most important facts and understandings into one podcast for us is phenomenal. Thanks to all of you! Terrific helpful podcast!
That’s because he has left out lots of facts that could tell a different narrative.
I have studied this subject for over twenty years and can say honestly that everything the professor says is true.
He is the protege of Edward said
@@den264 Truth by omission you mean. He left out key facts that vilifies Isreal. For instance, Israel did not "invade" Lebanon for no reason. It began with an attempted assassination of the Israeli ambassador in London, Israel attacked PLO targets in Lebanon on June 4, 1982. The PLO responded with rocket and artillery barrages, and Israel retaliated by sending ground troops into Lebanon, in a mission titled “Operation Peace for the Galilee.”
There's always "cause and effect", lots of "effects" being mentioned here with the "cause" intentionally left out. Only idiots never ask "why".
@@bri_____1970And he is telling of weaponed power of Israelis, but do not mention the fact that in1948 the biggest and most powerful Arab states started big war against new established state, it was not Arabs of Palestine who fought, it was Transjordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt. Saudi Arabia, Yemen. United Arab whose forces was double of Israelis. USA didn't supplied Israel with weapon, it was bought from Czech Republic, remnants of old weapons after the war between the USSR and Germany, and everything that could be bought from private sellers of weapons. Israelis was poorly weapons, in the minority, but it was the question of existence, and they won. From Khalidi I did not hear anything near the truth. The result was Israelis gaining of some territories in accordance of international war right as far as the Arabs started it and lost. The other parts of Palestine was taken av Egypt and Jordan, and it was no longer the will of Arabs of Palestine to establish of own start. So it was until in 1968 Arab countries decided to get rid of this tiny problem - Israel. And lost again.
I doubt that he does know nothing of it. He just does not give the all facts.
Why?
The same with other episodes: not whole truth.
I am so sorry, because he is not the worst of those who present the story of questions of this region.
I expected more honesty, really, from a decent man.
Miko Peled's "The General's Son", is worth a read.
also ilan pappe book , the ethic cleansing of Palestine

This was amazing, please do interviews like this more often
very very very educational. thanks to you and Rashid.

Tom, thank you for this interview, I’ve gone through so many yet always feel like there is a gap and have to contextualise the pieces together myself. This puts it all in one succinct interview. I just hit subscribe!
as a social scientist, congratulations for posting this video, Tom! cheers from Brazil
Way to go Tom! So refreshing to see you shed light on this situation! The narrative has been one-sided for far too long.
Appreciate you expanding your channel to have experts and friends in these recent discussions on history and social issues. I am really engaged by your eye for niche content and expanding outside of the NYC tours. Would love to see some walking tours with guests involved. Keep up the great work!
Read his book, The Hundred Years War on Palestine. No longer can I say the issue is complicated. I’ve been eager to learn more about the war on Palestine and am learning about even more issues going on in the US. Not only am I more curious about how I’m able to live the life I lead but am more cautious about information I consume and what I participate in. Thanks again for a great video Tom.
Isse is certainly not complicated. Whether from Biblical or Islamic point of view, Palestine or more appropriately Holy Land is given to only one group of people. That is Israel and Jews.
Anyone else, come directly against God Almighty and His promises to His people Israel.

Illan Pappe's books are also very good!
Ilan’s The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine is a must read.
Benny Morris is three foremost authority on the subject.
Not these other grifters and political activists.

I'm Italian and until October, I knew nothing about what was
really going on, between Palestine and Israel .
The Israeli propaganda in Italy is unbelievable. They never taught us about Palestine in school ,about zionism, the partition ,the Nakba.
I since have been educating myself ,and I've read 4 essays, and personal experiences of people who were tortured in Israeli prisons, at the end of the seventies.
I now have a clear picture of reality,military occupation ,apartheid ,settler colonialism etc .Thank you very much for this informative interview ,I stopped watching mainstream news.
I am italian too and now I realize that have been completely manipulated for years.
you still know nothing if you listen to this BS .

In fact Palestine does not exist. Palestine is the name given by Roman Emperor Hadrian in the year 134 ad in remembrance of the Philistines who were Mycenaean Greek and Cretan Greek and was the old enemy of the Jews. Emperor Hadrian renamed it from Judea Israel to Palestina as an insult to the Jews after the destruction of the 2nd Jewish temple. Arabs didn’t arrive till 6th century!!!! Jews where there from at least 5,000 years before it is their ancient homeland.
Such an important interview - to understand the history / background of the war in / on Palestine, and to hear about Dr. Khalidi's own experience. We need more such conversations, and more voices to be heard / featured.
So much suffering has been imposed on innocent Palestinian people - and between 30 000 and 40 000 killed since Oct 7, on top of the years of occupation. How can this be justified???!
Urban warfare is a horrible thing
Please try to find examples of urban warfare being “humane” or better targeting fighters vs civilians.
doesn’t exist
hes wrong in his history, its obviously a biased view and not factual. How can they be considered occupied when there is no history of such a people, no declaration of Independence, flags, currency, archaeological facts or anything else to back any of these claims?
@@madcatter1
You are joking right
@@ElvisBosnjakovic-dc3hy why am i joking? Is it because you know there are no answers?
If you look you'll find. PLENTY! But you prefer to be blind when it comes to Palestine and Palestinians. @@madcatter1
Thanks. Wasnt expecting this from you, Tom. Made me smile.

Hey Tom! Wow! So fabulous interview and a great professor as well !!!

“I want my legs back,” the girl cried in Arabic.
“I want my legs back.”
You can’t have your legs back, little girl.
They have been eaten by a hungry machine
who needs them for fuel to power its gears.
The machine needs your legs to keep the sky raining bombs
and to make its death robots fly.
Your legs power the bulldozers digging mass graves
and the tanks blowing holes in the hospitals.
A glorious kingdom is held together
by the amputated limbs of children.
A pentagon-shaped castle is built from the bones
of the amputated limbs of children.
Wall Street werewolves and bank boys dine
on the amputated limbs of children.
Movie stars treat their wrinkles with creams
made from the amputated limbs of children.
Suburban families prop up their smiles
with the amputated limbs of children.
The news man lies and in his eyes
you see the amputated limbs of children.
The podium man smirks and between his teeth
are the amputated limbs of children.
And the little girl cries,
and the news man ignores her,
and the podium man smirks at her,
and the bank boy bites her,
and the machine rolls on,
limbs fed into its furnace with pitchforks,
crushing houses and blackening the sky,
poisoning the oceans and bloodying the earth,
while the air fills with the crying of children,
for limbs that will never come back,
for homes that will never come back,
for mothers that will never come back,
for childhoods that will never come back,
for brightness that will never come back,
for innocence that will never come back,
for dreams that will never come back,
for joy that will never come back.
And we are here,
eating cheesy meatcarbs and watching funny haw-haws
and gossiping and prattling and wishing we looked better
and trying not to think about all the tiny arms and legs
we see covering the earth
whenever we step outside.

One of the most balanced and comprehensive interviews on this topic to date. thank you
This is not balanced
@@77kromah in what way is it not balanced?
It is very rare to hear a Palestinian speaking without hatred about the conflict. We need to dispassionate the debate to see things right. To start to trust each other. Lack of trust is at the root of the problem. A one state solution could be possible giving equal rights for both people if we feel that the will to leave is stronger than the will to die for political or nationalist reasons. These two people have a common ancestor and they could show that their union could make them stronger and better
The will to live…

I find it interesting that the holocaust is a big topic in the U.S. , even though it didn’t happen in the U.S. and lasted about 6 years. But 250 years of slavery, that did happen in the U.S., is rarely discussed and is actively shunned in some places. There are significantly more holocaust museums and monuments in the U.S. than museums and monuments re. slavery.
EXACTLY! As if Juice are the only ethnic group who experience mass gen 0 cide during the war. Gypsy, Socialist Germans, Croatians, Libyan, Chinese of Nanking, Filipinos, Korean, Indonesian, Malays, Indian and many more group that were mass massacred during WW2. The casualty of the Russian Slavic people alone were more than any Jews who died in the holocaust, they literally burned Russian ethnic group alive in their churches when the Naxi invaded Russia. Unfortunately only Jews are allowed to claim victimhood.
That’s because the US is full of hypocrisy! When people say MAGA, I wonder when was it great, according to them? During the Trail of Tears? When only white men had rights? During slavery, Jim Crowe? When the National Guard gunned down innocent students during a rally for peace? When was this mysterious period in which the US was great??
@@wewenang5167 Palestinians seem to be very good at claiming victimhood.
Slavery "rarely discussed" in the US? Only if you simply ignore all the times it is discussed!
Fine interview this !
Professor Khalidi is both deeply knowledgeable and articulate. And he has still managed to retain a charming middle Eastern inflection in his english despite living in America for many years :)
However, i see such conversations, illuminating as they are, turning out to be echo chambers. It addresses audiences with preset leanings toward one or the other side.
What we need are respectful two way dialogues (moderated with intelligence and sensitivity to both points of view) between people from opposite sides. In their meeting we could benefit from getting a glimpse of the big picture instead of getting lost in the little details.
I would love to hear an exchange between Professor Khalidi and ,say, Einat Wilf who has painstakingly studied the Israeli- Palestinian situation from the vantage point of a government servant and has come to some powerful conclusions that cannot be discarded simply because they come from the Jewish - Israeli side of the debate.
One observation : ~
While Prof Khalidi was right in pointing out the historical role of the Catholic Church in propagating antisemitism and Christian Europe as being the enablers of various pogroms against the Jewish people over time, he (conveniently) downplayed Islam's role in the persecution of Jews as well.
The Prophet was not known to have had good relations with the jewish communities of the time. This sentiment slowly flowered into state sanctioned marginalization of the jewish people who were resident in the cities of the first Islamic caliphate and future Islamic kingdoms and empires across the world.
Both Christianity and Islam have much to answer for the normalization and institutionalisation of antisemitism ~
So much to learn. Thank you
Ireland here. This is what education should be like.
💚🇮🇪💚🇵🇸💚🇿🇦💚
We know from several CENTURIES of occupation, dispossession and repression my sept’s lands in Gleannfeisc
The Irish aren’t Muslims. Ridiculous comparison. The Irish don’t groom their children to become martyrs. Unless I missed something?
@@rolandthethompsongunner64 You did miss something. Prof Khalidi described why the Palestinians are resisting Israeli, and it's not because they're Jews. He uses the hypothetical of Nationalist Danes invading Palestinian lands instead of the Zionists. The Palestinians wouldn't resist based on religion (roughly 20% of Palestinians are Christians), but because resistance to land theft is a natural response to others stealing your land.
And your implication that "Muslims" groom their children is rather Islamophobic, and wrong historically. Again, Palestinians are resisting their Occupation, just as the Irish resisted the British occupation. Religion is incidental (though making a good dividing line for lazy thinkers.)
Yes indeed start with the British, they dont call the Union Jack flag 'the butchers apron' for nothing!
It was an easy conversation for Professor where his statements could not be challenged or clarified by an interviewer or a third participant. It was useful as a one side’s perspective but should not be one’s final point of authority. Professor is very knowledgeable, of course, and is doing important work for his people.
Wow... the truth prevail
Fabulous interview. Amazing professor. Brilliant individual.
What an amazingly detailed, nuanced and necessary discussion. Thank you very much for this. Free Free Palestine! 🇵🇸
Very refreshing
This is very educational Tom
The former Prime Minister of Israel Barak had a habit of saying things that are actually true sometimes:
There was no party of God before Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 because Israel created the party of God since it was a result of Israel’s occupation of Lebanon.
Thank for this interview, I’m reading Khalidi’s book right now. Would be great if you could do another one with Benny Morris!
Great video!
His comments on 1967 help explain why the U.S. set up the USS Liberty for an attack by Israel. 34 US military killed, 170 wounded and U.S. politicians did nothing. Watch the documentary “Sacrificing Liberty”. I was in the army, infantry in the U.S. war against the people of Viet Nam. It took me many years to learn that the Gulf of Tonkin “incident” never happened. Millions of Vietnamese were killed. Millions more wounded physically and mentally. Their land decimated. All because of a lie. The U.S. plutocracy’s quest for power and world domination is the most massive and disgusting crime the world has ever seen.
Thank you for this 🙏🏼🇵🇸❤️🩹🍉
First time ever on this channel, Tom seems like a really nice guy
Thanx for bringing on Prof Khalidi 👏definitely one of my heroes 🦸 Also love Ilan Pappé + Avi Schlaim (tho they're not in the city) maybe next get some of the local resistance leaders + orgs, ie, JVP + Students for Justice in Palestine ✊
Miko Peled and Diana Buttu are other great ones!
Ifnotnow and Noam Chomsky are good
Excellent interview….thank you
Great interview🔥🔥
Just curious, how many Arabs moved to the land of Palestine between 1880 and 1948?
I think the notion of “embedded Trauma” is very pertinent. The nation commemorates excessively all kinds of historical events, even the exodus from Egypt which dates back more than 2000 years ago. Naturally this helps in shaping a specific national/ethnic identity and consolidates the so-called “victim-role”…
Meanwhile the Ashkenazi Jews who settled Israel aren’t even descendants of that time 2000 years ago.
Great coverage Tom 👏👏
Very good pod. So informative. Even for me as a Palestinian living in Europe. defenetly buying his book.
