    As an orthodox jew, I condemn the terrorist acts and war crimes of Israel. I support the creation of a free and independent Palestinian state. This will end all the violence. As Jews we need to accept that Israel is the occupying force and we need to do the right thing and give Palestinians their own independent state free from Israeli interferences. CRITCIZING ISRAEL ISN'T ANTISEMITISM!!! JUDAISM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ZIONISM !!!!

      With enemies like Hamas, with the coran and the Hadith instructing to kill non believers and creating an appartheid institution for 1300 years, Israel will need some buffer territory plus the means to defend itself. Israel was physically absent from Gaza and of course com0lained about being blicaded. If you you know your recent history, the reason they were blocadet is their permanent killing of jews even after the Oslo process. But as you are orthodox, I guess that besides the stories of the bible you woudn’t know anything, so you are excused. And yes you are allowed to criticize Israel as much as I am to criticize you.

      @@achmatrossier3029 Richard Wolff started to lose my respect when he espoused the left islamic position. In my view he espoused their cause because he lives within the left subculture and was about to loose his guru status. I have seen since october how he evolved from focusing on his subject matter to espousing and theorise in favor of islamic position. Yes, the Israeli reaction to the 7 th of ictober is harch but so is the massacre of the 7th of october. The tribal culture of the middle east respects force only. Peace in Islam is like the Roman peace: unconditional surrender.
      As much as prof Wollf is knowledgeable about Marxism, he is disingenuous about Israel and its neighbors. I was a paying member of democracy@work but his positions against Israel have made me leave.

    I'm a 78 year old white Australian woman. The British here mostly confiscated the land from the beautiful (beauty in body and spirit) indigenous population. They didn't use them as labour. They at first killed a lot of them and didn't want to acknowledge their existence. Foolishly they didn't ask them how they lived on the lands here, what plants they knew were medicine and how they managed the sometimes raging bush fires. Later the colonizers took the children from their parents put them in orphanages and schooled them as whites. They did this to make them blend into the white population eventually hoping the indigenous population would not exist. I was born in August 1945, there was one area I remember seeing the Aborigines throwing their boomerangs and selling their pottery and other artifacts that was at La Perouse Sydney. They were all but unseen. It's taken them decades to be seen and it's beautiful. They weren't allowed to vote up to a few decades ago. They are regaining their heritage at last and the country we call Australia is better and richer for them.

      How can the Israelis be called colonizers when they were there before the Arabs?
      They have reclaimed their land from the Arabs, who themselves are colonizers.
      The Palestinians are not savages but Hamas has adopted the inhumane, cruel and sadistic practices of the uncivilized.

      I was shocked to the point of tears when I heard Kirshner ( son in law of Trump) state that the Palestinian people had not taken care of their land and it was a shame, but so much could be done with the real estate. It was overt dissonance to the plight of the people who have been herded there. It was frightening. I don't know which member of which cabinet of a dictatorship he could be likened to, but it was a chilling moment. I hope that the poor dispossessed people of the USA and UK feel recognition with the submission which autocratic systems reign over them. There is likely to be a backlash between groups and the heavyweight system which at first sees the protest as an inconvenience, but when it changes the opinion of the middle classes, that will really provoke anger.

    • @Desimere
      @Desimere Місяць тому +6

      yes, this guy is not understanding the nuance. Russia was the original settler colonial power in that situation. The situation between Ukraine and Russia is more similar the situation of using Israeli hostages to excuse attacking Palestinian civilians, rather than the other way around. US complicates the matter, but it's still unfair to compare Ukraine to Israel.
      Growing up in eastern Europe, it was so normal to live under the constant fear of invasion from Russia. Of course that's not as bad as actually living under occupation, but there certainly was pressure to show a pro-Russian attitude, "be flexible" and give away land in order to not get invaded again. Asking Ukraine to make peace and go under that oppression is not comparable to asking Palestine to go "peacefully" back under occupation because the scale of oppression in Palestine is so much greater, but it's still not justified to call that "peace". It's not in the power of the oppressed to make peace, if "peace" means a lack of oppression rather than a lack of visible conflict.
      If Russia was really concerned about the well-being of Russians in Ukraine rather than using them as an excuse, they could have helped them. There were millions of ways of doing that, and war was not one. I'm more inclined to believe that Russia was trying to exasperate the oppression of Russians in Ukraine in order to reach this goal.

    I was shocked to the point of tears when I heard Jared Kushner (ex-son in law of Trump) state that the Palestinian people had not taken care of their land and it was a shame, but so much could be done with the real estate. It was overt dissonance to the plight of the people who have been herded there. It was frightening. I don't know which member of which cabinet of a dictatorship he could be likened to, but it was a chilling moment. I hope that the poor dispossessed people of the USA and UK paid attention to this link, control, power feeling at ease across the countries, and feel recognition with the submission which autocratic systems reign over them. There is likely to be a backlash between groups and the heavyweight system which at first sees the protest as an inconvenience, but when it changes the opinion of the middle classes, that will really provoke anger.
