“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”― Malcolm X💯❤👏🤲
You’re quoting a man who believed his race was superior to others. Nice job.
Crying victims after keeping the hostages
This is why we have to read and go beyond the TV news that tell us how to think. It has been decades of one sided propaganda. Thank God my eyes and ears have known better. America have been helping spread that propaganda and "attempted" to shut up any one who dare go against Israel.
@@abram8874 Yes Israel does love its hostages. And loves crying the victim too.
Tankies used to have a point. Not now they work for proscribed terrorist organisations like Hamas or Putin.
I'm Albanian and Christian, but the Palestinian flag is my flag aswell, free Palestine 🇵🇸 and God bless Palestine ❤
💯
It’s mine too, free Palestine 🇵🇸✊
Same, free Palestine 🇵🇸 ❤
free Palestine from Hamas!!
@@irinapresent if you don’t like hamas you definitely don’t like israel. Spew your propaganda elsewhere.
A very intelligent and well spoken political man. Palestinians do have great hope with this man and his services to their country.
And an absolutely beautiful interviewer! 😍🥰❤︎
This man has dedicated his life to the cause of Palestine. He lost family members in this recent escalation. May it be free on his lifetime Ameen
1. Jews (according to the Torah) are those who religiously practice the Hebrew law (including but not limited to the 10 Commandments).
2. The state of "Israel" is established in a complete violation of the Hebrew law (including but not limited to the 10 Commandments).
3. Claiming to be a Jew (or acting in the name of Jews) while deliberately violating the Hebrew Law (including but not limited to the 10 Commandments); Such a violation is considered (in the Torah) to be a rebellion against God (The Almighty).
4. The state of "Israel" is an Apartheid state.
5. Read the historical book called: 'The Rabbis Speak Out' (over 130 years of Religious Jewish Rabbis opposing Zionism and the state of "Israel").
This man has no future with the Palestinians!
To be clear:
1. According to International Law: The state of "Israel" does not have the right to defend itself against the people that they are belligerently occupying.
2. According to International Law: The Palestinian government does (in fact) have the right to defend itself against a belligerent occupation.
Mr husam is a great soul, a true leader, a hero , friendly, patient, sobar , lovely and good communicator. Love you from Kenya Africa
He is so eloquent with his and comes to the point
Wonderful interview
full of emotions & feelings. May Almighty fulfil
the dream of our Palestine family . Inshaallah Aameen yarabalalameen. May Almighty accept our duas 🤲
Aameen.
Zumlot is a calm measured and excellent communicator, Palestine is fortunate to have such an ambassador.
This is one of the best interviews that I have seen.
The host conducted herself impeccably and was very professional and completely unbiased not asking leading or predetermined questions.
First time in months i saw an comentator give much deserved respect and dignity to him.... Each word by him is full of hope, wisdom, intelegence.... Bot full of haye, persony opinions or lies as we are watching whole day on media by Israeli people
What an eloquent gentleman this is who makes clear the current narrative. Also very good journalism from this lady.
He is a liar and has no fit with the Palestinians!
From the river to the sea Palestine will be free 🇵🇸✊
She gave the assist, and he scored the goals. A strong and positive voice during one of Palestina's darkest hours. Let love rule.
Thank you Al Jazeera for this programme..
Mr. Ambassador, you sound like the perfect person to lead the state of Palestine into the 21 century.
Maybe 🤔, but after Hummus 👳🏾♂️ is purged, Mia Khalifa should be appointed Governor of Gaza.
She will finally make Palestine 🇵🇸 a place where 🏳️🌈 and 👩🏻’s rights are respected! 🥰
⚔️🇵🇸👸🏻🇵🇸⚔️
@redfoxsecurity3334 You sound insecure, did someone hurt your little feelings? 😂
He really does!
Certainly he is a good leader for Palestinians
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
Palestine has the right to live freely and self determination like any other country.
Free free Palestine.
Great respect Mr Ambassador.
Palestine is strong 100 years of survival.
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
@@SunVirtuous-vs8rw😅 What a character 👏 you are in each comment section keep writing ✍ the same stuff. You need to relax their Buddy ✋ stop the Hate!!!
If there is someone to lead Palestine in future you are one of them.❤
The nobility in this man... I wish every single good thing for the people of Palestine.
Yes, $1,000 suit, $10,000 watch, representing the most corrupt government in the history.
amen
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
Been listening to this guy on so many platforms...he's so cool charmed an informative the way he educate and dialogue think he's more than just a Ambassador...he's morale for what our leaders of the world should be...Hope peace overcome all the hatred
Thank You Ambassador! Insha Allah we will see a free palestine very soon.
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
Great to see Husam Zomlot in this supportive and hopeful interview with Al Jazeera
instead of the aggressive ones by Western Media he normally has to endure! Free Palestine!
🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸
I salute the Palestinian for their determination. ❤. History. Palestine will be free inshAllah ❤❤❤
Ameen🤲
Fraid not
The ambassador deserves more time and presence on all platforms to amplify his voice and the voice of the Palestinian people in fair setting. He is very well informed, well spoken, experienced and honest diplomate.
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
@@SunVirtuous-vs8rw Please stop the slandering.
I agree. I started a playlist with his speeches. He has been in a lot of places.
From the river to the sea Palestine will be free 🇵🇸✊
One day this guy he will president of Plastinian inshaAllah
As a Black American, I see the light for freedom for the Palestinian Nation.. stay strong.. the ball is literally in your court
Inschalla 🤲
🇵🇸From river to sea,🇵🇸 Palestine will be the only state and everyone can live freely.🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Insha'Allah
As a Caucasian American I'm right there with you
So did Malcom X , what he said in the 60s is still relevant.
I agree the Palestinians are so strong very rooted in their community and they know who they are and what matters. They do love each other, I’ve seen it myself. They have much to share with the world on their way of being. So much respect to them 🙏🇵🇸🙏
Yes. If the world just opens its eyes, it will find the great beauty in Palestinian culture. It is so sad that this culture is erased now by cowards.
Everyone saw your culture on Oct7th...
Now THIS is an interview! Allah bless Mr Zomlot.
What an intelligent man in fact every palastinian is a Nelson Mandela we all agree with out doubt galory to the people of palastine glory to palastine we are all as a human palastinian ❤
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
I'm not, I support israel
What an amazing example of being a statesman!
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
Excellent questions and very brilliant answers ❤😢!
He is very intelligent
His answer was as like as philosopher salute this great man
Such humility and dignity, the Palestinian people deserve their own country for that alone.
I agree with you but I need to point out, like the Scots, Welsh and Irish, the Palestinians have their own land. It is just ruled by greedy, self-centred bullies.
They do not deserve "their own country" because of anything. Palestine from the river to the sea is rightfully their land - they don't need to earn it and they are not subject to the good will of someone to give them a small part of the land they completly own. That is a completly wrong access.
@nein7564 calm down. It's only a figure of speech
Yep and it's occupied Palestinian land not israh3ll...
The resilience, the unity, kindness, compassion, wisdom, hope in a single interview.... The definitely deserve a state with full rights
Ambassador Zomlot is an excellent speaker. His calmness, dignity, and truth telling is powerful and admirable. Thank you so much for articulating the message for the Palestinian cause. We all need you.
This man speaks the truth from the heart.
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!

🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Husam Zomlot is a true patriot and genuine!
Protect this man at all cost. Such an inspiring person
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
Duh
I am French. former officer. I am disgusted by the cowardice of our leaders and their submission to Israel and the USA! By denying the rhymes of his government and his army we trample on the foundations of our nations! Mr. Ambassador, you are saving the honor of humanity.
All the respect
He is one of the chosen and it shows. Not like these pretenders.
Thank you for speaking for humanity.
Israel is indeed ruthless. Hamas miscalculation has killed so many Palestinian people.
Maybe you should ask the "'Ambassador" what did the Palestinian Authority do to improve lives of the Palestinians? in 30 years. After ten's of billions or euros spent by the international community. Did they create jobs? Education? Democracy? IT? Modern Agriculture? at least one power station? No. The money was either stolen or invested in devastating wars against Israel.
It's great to see a proper professional unbiased presenter doing her job brilliantly well done
He just described black Americans history in America for the last 345 years in 5 minutes
The history of America is written with the blood of native Americans and Africans.
Exactly. We as black people definitely understand oppression to the fullest
I agree!
Such a reasonable man, god bless him.
Free palestine
When u look at both sides one speaks sense one tells lies after lies and I hope everyone knows which is which by now because this time its clear as day unfortunately some people who have hates in their hates don't want to see it and continue to support Israel
That's lovely Mr ambassador
"We have thirteen million Mandelas!" Ma Shaa Allah! What a powerful statement by Ambassador Zomlot. Mr. Nelson Mandela was a proud son of Africa whose strength and character cannot be overstated. My prayers for the 13 million Mandelas of 🇵🇸 beloved Palestine 🇵🇸 is that they will do their nation proud and stand tall one day, very soon! In Shaa Allah! Ameen!
Insult to Mandela's legacy. He received the nobel peace prize for bringing a peaceful resolution and avoiding a civil war, which South Africa was at the brink if. DON'T even compare this to your BS narrative it insults South Africans and all the people who died for peace both black and white.
I appreciate this Ambassador H.E. Husam❤❤❤
The Envoy was On It. Husam Zomlot spoke his truth and made his point in this "western?" interview.
May Allah blessed our beloved people of Palestine ❤️🇰🇼🇵🇰
I think he is such a good ambassador for Palestine he speaks the truth
Netanyahu in English: we are fighting for western values like democracy & freedom.
Netanyahu in Hebrew: we are fighting for greater israel & I know how to lie Americans in English 🤣
I am not a Palestinian, but I agree You are the best nation ❤, free Palestine
Oh really, everyone says they are the best!
💯
I’ve never seen a strength of people like the Palestinians, you can see in the public a change, a shift and we want only the best for Palestinians they need this ❤️🇵🇸
Facts
Well said altogether Mr. Ambassador.
Free Palestine
All the respect for the Ambassador of Palestine 🇵🇸
“We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians” - Nelson Mandela
Such beautiful heart pple❤🇵🇸
Wow he mentioned the balfour declaration in 1917. Amazing mr ambassador🙏🙏🙏
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
It was very inilictually satisfying conversation. Plastine needs more of this caliper of leaders
Insha Allah Palestine will be liberated.
Well said, mr ambassador❤
Thank You ambassador for enlightening Palestinian cause to the world 🙏 majority of the world is with Palestine 🇵🇸 indiscriminate of religion ,color , geography , race ....
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
I have so much respect for this man, any nation with men like him is definately a great nation. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
My heart goes to the Palestinian people. The embassador is an amazing human being teaching us the basic humanity we seem to have lost.
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
This man should be the President or prime minister of Palestinians, as soon as they get a state back.
This man has no future with the Palestinians! He lies too much!
@@SunVirtuous-vs8rw You can comment and like your own comments a thousand times but nobody is dumb enough to listen.
For sure.
I agree. His beautiful message to the hopeless youth in Gaza - "Love is way more important than hate... make sure that its not hate that takes over - its Love... It will be OK... keep the march. The march might be slow. The march might be full with the feeling of betrayal. Sometimes, I must admit, we may feel alone, but we are definitely, definitely on our way [to freedom]."
@@SunVirtuous-vs8rw Please stop slandering
One of the best interviews I’ve watched! Husam Zomlot is the people’s Nelson Mandela, he just doesn’t know it yet ❤🇮🇪🇵🇸
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
M.r Ambassador of Palestine huge respect to you from the heart's core. May Almighty save your land. Unbound love from Bangladesh🇧🇩♥️🇦🇪 for the people of Palestine.
humility and dignity
Palestine has the right to defend itself from an apartheid regime..
@@user-hz9iz1lr2oIllegal occupation and apartheid created Hamas. The rest if the world is starting to see this. You can carry on pretend not to.
And the ships in the Red Sea have a right to defend themselves. See how which ever side you are on / that sentence can fit a narrative
@@WhatisahandlehuhIronically, the one party that it cannot be applied to is Israel. Contrary to Western cheerleaders of the terror state and its propaganda, Israel does not have the right in international law to 'self defence' against a threat emanating from territory they illegally occupy. No more than did the Nazis have a 'right to self-defence' against the actions of the French Resistance in 1940s France. It's a convenient lie being perpetrated by Zionist, apartheid Israel and unquestioningly woven into the western narrative by a corrupt western media.
@@user-hz9iz1lr2oyou don’t think mandela had to lead operations where blood was shed to gain freedom from his people’s oppressors? Read history. Freedom was never granted through peaceful marches. It was always taken by force unfortunately. Israel will not yield to our peaceful marches. It never has and never will.
I’m genuinely happy to see how this patriot Husam Zomlot is getting more and more opportunities and time to speak up on different platforms on behalf of Palestinian people. He is one of the most righteous people to stand there for his nation and country. Speaking the bare truth and educating the rest of the world about the realistic situation lasting for years and years in Palestine, he showed how statemen can express their views without hatred, accusation and playing victim like Israeli spokesmen do. Allah bless you, Ambassador for being the voice of voiceless 🤲
Dr Zomlot should be made the PM of Palestinian state and Mr Abbas should step down its high time, Mr zomlot is articulate and can hopefully lead the Palestinian people
Hearing Mr Ambassador bought tears in the Eyes, Palestinian people are Brave and inspires of such massive catastrophe there is still Love for the people, surely Oneday it shall break the shackles of oppression and be the Greatest country the world shall see, an country which Raise up from the Ashes
Husam Zomlot "Maybe we are not the greatest nation on earth but I don't think there is any nation greater than us"
I stand by Palestine 🇳🇿🇳🇿
While calling itself human right defender, US has always oppose basic human right such as freedom and self determination of Palestinians in UN since 1948 because of the lobby
Make this guy the president and let him lead his people to a bright future..
Well, he'd have to run for election first...
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
Free Free PALESTINE
Rise O children of Adam
Stand against Oppression
Raise the banner of Peace
Hold the flag of Sanctuary
And give Voice to to the Suppressed

Free Free Palestine

Very beautiful brave uniting words. Thank you so much
Beautiful and strong words
I just checked and I read that Husam was born in 1973 (50 years old) 😮. I thought he was in his late 30's or at least early 40's.
Anyway, good for him. I pray Palestine will be free in 2024 🤲💞
Proud of my fellow Palestinian Ambassador

@@SunVirtuous-vs8rw So much to learn. Thanks for your opinion. I’ll keep that in mind as I continue to observe, listen & educate myself in this issue. Possible to elaborate?
@@jeanniep8816Thank you Jeanniep. This envoy to the UK from Palestine does not have a future in the fate of Gaza! He is a bullshitter! He doesn’t tell the truth, he lies, and uses any word, phrase or concept that denies Israel its victory against Hamas and Israel's achievements in the war! Israel is pure justice in action. The future Gaza ambassadors will talk of Israel’s greatness and kindness towards Gaza!

Thank you for such a brilliant discourse. The ambassador is a natural leader. No South African leader can compare with the integrity of the Palestinians.
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
@@SunVirtuous-vs8rw nor do you have any future if you think israel is the future of the palestinians
@@ZythermappingZ Gaza has to face the facts that Israel is the victor of the war. Israel will be making sure any future government of Gaza supports both Israel and Gaza. No fool like the ambassador to the UK will be allowed in the new government by Israel. He lies about Israel! He will never be the one who progresses in the new Gaza!
Palestine is a focal point for the injustice of colonial and ethnic supremacy. If the world can see what is right here, there is hope for this world.
Such a noble man could well be a leader of the Palestinian people in the days to come
I agree
Great interview great host and a noble humble a man of honor as a guest. We hope one day you can represent the great nation of Palestine.
He is a liar and has no future with the Palestinians!
If this man was president instead of the scum we have, we would’ve been in much better shape. Thank you Mr. Zomlot for this heartfelt interview.
I didn’t know a lot about this conflict between Israel and Palestine until I sow the response of Israel in Gaza after October 7th. Since then I started analyzing what was going on before even October 7th. I didn’t even know that Israel was an apartheid state because for me such inhuman practices don’t exist in our modern time, especially after apartheid was banned in South Africa. And when it comes to Israel, frankly I thought it was just like those western countries in Europe. I never ever thought that Israel was barbaric state until this war started. And I was shocked from what I been seeing in Palestine. And another shocking fact is to see western countries supporting the atrocities committed by Israel while these western politicians always claiming to be the defender of human rights. This really confuses 😊
Israel is not an apartheid state, nor is it a barbaric state! Gaza is feeling the casualties of war. No matter how many casualties Israel will have no more casualties as a result of taking out Hamas!
@@SunVirtuous-vs8rwSpoken like a true propagandist.
Imagine Mark Regev to be sitting in the same seat instead of Husam Zomlot how much venom, hate, arrogance, stupidity and dishonesty he would have spewed within this short span of time?
We are rooted in our love for our land, they are rooted in their hatred for us. Big difference. But they say love always wins.
Bullshit!
Beautiful message of hope and love.
I am a true fan of Sandra Gathmann. Love how she forms her statements and questions and allows her guests to speak without interrupting. Ambassador Zomlot needs to be diplomatic, he rightfully praises the Palestinians, but is professionally unable to mention that Palestine has lost 20 years while Abbas is in power. Fixing his mistakes will take 50 yrs. Free Palestine also means getting rid of such trators., who put such a setback.
I have so much respect for this man. free Palestine.
than your for educating us, May God bless all the palestinains.
Strong speech, strong arguments. Thank you. ❤
Its like i feel what Palestine feel now after hear speech from Mr. ambassador Palestine 🇵🇸. I’m proud with Palestine people with the resilience of their faith, stood strong in their homeland and fought for the freedom of their country. they are a dignified and honorable nation. Allah is always with you. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 and Ceasefire Now.
The ambassodor must lead the future free palestine for he has the people's wellness at heart. Support!❤

wrong flag but yes
Huge respect for the Ambassador!!! May God use you for your people ! God bless!
The ambassador is a shining example of the hope and strength of character that has sustained the Palestinian people throughout more than a century of unimaginable injustices. With 13 million Mandelas , certainly one of them will emerge as not only a savior of his people, but of the world. The people united can never be defeated! May oppressed people everywhere, stand strong and never give up resisting colonial racist supremacy!
Aljazeera, mad respect for your platform!
