    As an American who started researching what the truth is in 2008, I can only say that I am thankful to be Muslim since 2011. ❤ Islam keeps me sane in an insane, brutal, nonsensical world.

    This is the first time that your podcast was offered to me on YT. I was hesitant to click on it to watch it because I recognized your name as that part of the world that we cannot mention. I watched many of your compatriots channels just to hear what they are saying and I can assure you is a180° of what you are saying here. I ended up disgusted about their behavior and comments. I only decided to watch you bc of your title and I can say I'm very pleased to have found a real human being with feelings towards what your people consider their enemies. I'm in shock, I cannot understand how you survive inside that vile Society without breaking down. Unfortunately bc of their attitude the only thing they are achieving is hate from the majority of the world. I salute you for your attitude and your humanity.

      US has always said that Israel is their base in the middle east. so Israelis are there to be sacrificed for the benefit/interest of US and the Israelis knew it when deciding to pack up and go live there. Why do you think US feeds and cloths and takes care of of their needs? Hint: they are the sacrifice lamb
      Are they smart enough to understand that and take themselves and their families out of the "base" permanently? I doubt it ...

      Its not colonialism its supremacism. Colonialism comes from supremacism being a premise. They are surprisingly good to hide it and they are all alike without exception which helps explaining history. For 50 years I have lived and speculated about this matter and this is my conclusion.

    I’m watching at 1.32 am in Australia when I should be asleep. And I’m glad. Listening to your sobriety gives me a steadiness and a peace - a relief at the truth being recognised and contextualised. You named so many things about which silence makes us weaker and less safe. We need more than just work, shelter and a little entertainment. We are in poverty, in many cases literally, but if not that, then culturally. We need to free Palestine, and so much more.

      Mizrahi Jews are true descent of Abraham to Babylon like Ishmaelite/Fatimite Arabs. Phenotypes and DNA ancestry do not lie. This man identified as moroccan but he has Iraqi Phenotypes because his ancestors moved to Morocco with Fatimite Arabs historically. There have been no war or dispute between Israelites and Ismaelite. All those are fairytales invented in Vatican and European Christianity in order to devestate semites and their heritage.

    I've been thinking the same thing. Months ago I watching one of those White House or State Department press events and started thinking that the spokesperson knows that he's lying and all the so-called journalists sitting there know that he's lying too. Yet everyone keeps playing their role and allowing this Kabuki theater to go on. For what? Why do they keep asking him questions knowing he's gonna lie to them and why would they not tell him to stop lying? Why does everyone pretend that everything is ok?

    If I happened to meet you without knowing your background, I will recognize you as an Arab or even Palestinian because you look very much like any other Palestinian and those in Gaza. You don’t look anywhere close to a typical European origin Israeli politician.
    I’m a Tamil Hindu . When it comes between a Tamil of another religion verses a Hindu from another ethnicity, my immediate support will goto the Tamil. Because we come from same blood line regardless of our religious differences.

      Are you not aware that the Palestinians (They are not always innocent) have been dealt with several times by a variety of Arabic-speaking groups, and not only by the white Zionists? Why do you want oriental Jews to suddenly unite with Palestinians when they never shared a relationship with them to begin with? Just as a reminder, India has a historic caste system.

    Bleak and lopsided. You focus exclusively on the west as 'colonial'. What of the behemoth colonial forces emanating from Middle-Eastern, Slavic, Eastern cultures? What of their landgrabbing, people subjugating, resource gobbling tendencies? Too easy to blame it all on the west. Culturally, there is quite enough guilt to go round... all round the globe, actually. The real fault is in the darkness lurking in individual human hearts... hatred, envy, greed, lust, duplicity. This is the real battleground. This is where transformation ( re-creation) is needed. 'BEHOLD! I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW!' Revelations 21

      Idealizing the East is wrong, but I don't think there's any comparison between all other forms of colonialism in the last 500 years and white--Western-European colonialism. In terms of scale and impact, there's really no comparison

      Many countries have not started a war in the past couple of hundreds of years. Even before that, they never colonized a land they took, they just ruled it but never kicked the people out and bring in their own people. And that was a couple of hundreds of years ago. The west has been starting wars left and right and center and steal resources and colonize countries in the past couple of hundred of years doing unimaginable brutal killing of others (for example in america, they Europeans pulled girl's and women's vagina, etc. out while alive to make coin purse etc and left them there to die). This was just one example. You can finds a lot more if you look.
      So the darkness you are talking about comes from the west. Stop playing innocent! As long as one play innocent, one will not lift a finger to help humanity. Maybe because they are not a decent human being to start with ...

      @@alon_mizrahi Alon, respectfully, you draw the line at 500 years quite arbitrarily. Many pertinent examples of colonialism that are absolutly nothing to do with white European western culture are therefore ignored. A perfect example of this is the Persian Archaemenid Empire. It brought some undeniable good, but it was also landgrabbing, people subjugating, resource gobbling also. And it collapsed under it's own weight. Irrelevant to today's context ? Not quite.

      In 1979 the then shah of Iran, wanting to reinforce links with King Cyrus ( self proclaimed King of Kings) squandered a fortune on a lavish party for the leaders of the nations. This misuse of Iranian human and material resources in pursuit of colonial dreaming, directly contributed to religious fundamental uprising and to the revolution. The world crisis that we are presently living through is directly linked to the ideology of the present regime in Iran. So draw the line at 500 years if you like, but history proves this is futile
