Maximum Respect Ta- Nehisi to be a voice for the voice less. The Palestinian people deserve to have self determination just like any other people on the face of the earth.
A very well-spoken gentleman. The way he handled the CBS interviewer's question was both very classy and very on point. As a Palestinian myself, I thank you for giving me a voice.
Thank you Ta-Nehisi. If our "ethics" and "values" have led us to this, we don't deserve to be a world power. Furthermore, we have demonstrated to the world that "Democracy" is no better than a totalitarian state.
I agree. Our ethics and values manifest in what we do and what we allow to be done in our name not what we claim they are and not what is written on an old yellow parchment we like to hide under.
Well then!? why don't you migrate to a totalitarian state siriya maybe ... your assessment is so detached from reality that only a man in a democratic state can say something so dumb and not be arrested for it
The "Palestinian and Jewish safety are intertwined" sign is spot on. Succinct and speaks volumes. That CBS interview...Dokoupil had the nerve to tell him he's still invited to some holiday get-together lol, that was just the icing on the cake. That interview was insulting beyond the norm that i would expect from corporate media. Coates response was great and congrats to him for not flying off the handle on them and keeping his cool. Coates comment at the very end of the interview reflect exactly how I feel about the issue. Great interview.
Yeah people seem to forget that. Jewish does not equate zionism, and vice versa. We need to stand with our Jewish allies. We need to protect them-because they are the most actively silenced. They have to push harder and risk more to be allied…. ie: the “self hating jew” trope.
What a treasure he is for America. As a black American I can tell you I hope this somehow points my fellow Americans to his work towards reparations so we can finally take that seriously. I will say when you read his books some of his points of view are purposefully harsh but it’s meant to emphasize the situation.
Coates is a fool, and if you think that you DESRVE repreations and somehow YOUR people are going to "rise up", as if there aren't black success stories. Then there's no hope for you. Number 2. Are you going to demand reparations from black and arab people whose ancestors were slave owners, too? Did you know there are over a 1000 black slave owners in this country? Dod you skip over that WHOLE part of history on purpose? You can't be taken seriously.
About 10 years ago one of my friends, black American, visited Israel with his flight attendant wife. He sometimes accompanied her on a lot of trips because as her husband, he was able to fly for free. For the record his wife was white with blonde hair and blue eyes. When he got back from Israel he was visibly shaken and vowed NEVER AGAIN to set foot in that country. He told me that on several occasions he'd be walking down the street with his wife at his side when he'd be approached by soldiers or security personnel demanding to see his "papers" or demanding to know where he was coming from and where he was going. His wife, on the other hand, was NEVER stopped and NEVER questioned! It got so bad that for his last few days in Israel he just stayed in his hotel rather than expose himself to being interrogated every 15 minutes. To be honest, at the time I thought he was just exaggerating, for why would Israel, a Western democracy, openly discriminate against people of color? After hearing Ta-Nehisi Coates speak about his own experiences in Israel, I now know that my friend was actually telling the truth. Another interesting thing he mentioned was being very surprised that half the Jewish people he met and saw in Israel were actually British or American nationals (he could tell because of their accents). It made him sick to his stomach to think that these people actually left the UK/US and voluntarily relocated to a country that actively subjugated its non-Jewish population to apartheid. What kind of person feels good about traveling halfway round the world to participate in apartheid?
Ta-Nehisi, you are one of the global voices of reason where humanity (ubuntu - as we call it in Southern Africa) still reigns. May god bless you. You remind many South Africas of a young Nelson Mandela. Good luck on your the upcoming US elections and let there be peace in the world … 🙏🏼
That is such an important point he makes about their line of questioning about long lost relatives. When we visited Tel Aviv years back, my wife was stopped for "questioning" at the international airport. Mind you, we are American citizens arriving from NYC area, we pay for all their stuff, and we flew over with her company, a MAJOR US Airline carrier. All of the employees (and me, the husband) walked off the plane in Tel Aviv together. The other pilots walked right past security, the flight attendants walked past, and they even told me to walk right past! But they stopped her, asking her father's full name. After she gave that, they asked for her grandfather's full name. After she told them her grandfather was dead before she was born and that she didn't know it, they took her aside to a waiting room area. They told me to keep going and to enjoy my trip! Are you effing serious, dude? My wife is basically in holding so I declined and said I would be staying wherever she's staying. I walk over to the "waiting area" of security wayyy over to the side of immigration in a separate room, and what do I see? SIX different Muslim groups - three of which were Americans. I started asking questions of two gentlemen who traveled together and their reply was startling for a first timer: "yep, this is normal. They stop me every time. I wait here for 1-2 hours, they ask stupid questions, and then they let me pass. The same thing will happen once I come back to head home to the US." WTF? This is the "only" democracy in the Middle East? If so, I think it's more appropriate to say there are ZERO democracies in the Middle East. If you are asking strangers of the country that financially supports your lifestyle their grandfather's name and religion, then you are - quite simply - being racist, bigoted, and employing all the signs of an apartheid state.
As a center-left anti-victimology black liberal, I never imagined that I would ever agree with Coats on anything, but I am completely in step with him on Palestine! I hope that the pro-Palestinian movement has caught that he has opened a new front of attack on the Zionists by showing the indecent innards of Israeli society.
In my family's tradition, it is the aunties and grandmothers who tell the story. In summation, they were stories of intolerance. You are in a unique position because you have an education and people pay attention to what you say. Don't forget to listen to the aunties and grannies! God bless you!
@@SarahBishop-e8b Another two month old bot account created to spread misinformation and atrocity propaganda on behalf of the zionist war machine. Nice.
We have failed as a society to allow our representatives to disgrace us and help commit atrocities in our name. I don't see how a majority of us in the US do not see this or decide to turn away. There has got to be more we can do with our vote and voice in these situations.

Sorry to say this, but I am tired of hearing about how tragic October 7th 2023 was to the people of Israel. That state has been doing horrible things to Palestinians for decades.
It’s a tactic to re-write the timeline. If you look past the smoke and behind the mirrors, the zionist movement is using jewish lives as human shields to promote it’s agenda. Decades of brainwashing to promote a political movement that was started in europe by an atheist… and with USA collusion. Propoganda even for us in the usa. I’m not convinced that the Holocaust wasn’t enacted as a means to this same end-it’s the same tactics the military uses: stripping people of their identities and then retraining them to be war machines. It seems like usa is the father, germany is the mother, and israel is the child…. All of the same war machine agenda, and to have oower in the middle east, which we are effectively in the same war that we were in closer to 2000.
I hope Coates sees this comment. You are a treasure and I would love for you to sit and speak w/ Harris to convince her to understand this issue in terms as a Black and Asian woman who an understanding of what Jim crow and apartheid means and how it's being applied to Palestinians.
She won’t. I think she has fully succumbed to “proximity “. She is firm in her support of israel and aipac. Also firm in lacking of support for the Black community (she’s against reparative actions). Im pro-reparations, myself. And coming from this side, Kamala is by all standards “proximate.” She is palatable to the whote brotherhood because then they can say they aren’t racist or sexist because they “voted for a Black Woman.” And it’s a way to gain more support for The System by POC.
Kamala won't listen to Coates. She know what Israel is doing is wrong, but she's scared of the lobbies acting in support of Israel. She doesn't want to pick those fights. And she knows that it's not a key issue for most voters. She's not an ideological Zionist, but she is cynical and drinking the Democrat kool aid regarding strategy and priorities
@@BreadyMembers I voted for West, not because I think he'll win, he obviously won't, just bearing witness by never voting Red or Blue again, ever again.
It was the infamous CBS interview that made this book soar to the top spot on Amazon, so all in all, a good thing. Now hopefully, millions of people will be educated and learn about what is really happening.
I appreciated Coates honesty. Amazing that he calls out Kamala's violence and vileness, and Amy scoffed and avoided that conversation. As predictable, Trump was mentioned but not Kamala's current genocidal policies.
As a Palestinian American, I've heard "its complicated" my whole life. Since 10.07.23, listening to so many people who've been in Palestine, I realized it really IS simple. I've listened to horrible stories from my family for decades.
It has been simple this whole time. The “it’s complicated” excuse is used all the time. Healthcare, it’s complicated we can’t do single payer. School funding “it’s complicated, poor neighborhoods don’t deserve funding.”
Thank you for letting me know Ta-Nehisi Coates. Listening to a great human being like him made me optimistic and hopeful that all our eyes can be opened for the future of Palestine and that the 40K dead won’t die in vain.
Nothing is simple or this problem would have been solved long ago. And not everyone agrees what the truth is, resulting in no truths. Maybe compromises...but no truth.
From the Qur'an 5:32 (meaning) If anyone kills a person, it would be as if they killed the whole of mankind; and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved all mankind.
It starts When youre always afraid Ya step outta line, The Man come and take you away! I think its time we stop, Hey, whats that sound? Everybody look Whats going down. 🎶
Many of us care very much, are protesting, doing civil disobedience, letter writing, writing about it. The reason the nearly 70 percent of American against this don't have power to change this is "citizens united" which gave our democracy over to corporate money
I was slightly hopeful when Kamala Harris became the Dem candidate. I was wrong: Harris is just a non-senile version of Biden on Israel. Very disappointing. By coincidence, as I watch this I get an email wanting money for both Tim Kaine and Kamala Harris's respective campaigns. (Don't hold your breaths...)
serious question - why were you slightly hopeful? She follows political momentum and power. She is a politician. If the energy and momentum swings in a different direction - she'd have a different approach.
@@jusletursoulglobaby Because I forgot everything you just said in a momentary lapse of optimism. She has some slight tendency towards being progressive (look at her senate career), so I hoped that she'd be able to see the Palestinians' humanity.
Great interview Amy!! What an amazing, kind, brave, intelligent human being Ta-Nahesi Coates is!! Thank you sir for giving a voice to the voiceless, the invisible, the oppressed. So much love, respect and appreciation for all that you do!! 🤍
If you want to know how one-sided the conversation of Israel/Palestine is in Western mainstream media, simply count. Count how many Jewish anchors, correspondents, or journalists (with either immediate family or first-hand experiences in Israel) get prime time slots to speak on this issue vs how many Palestinians or even Arabs do. Then count how many Jewish and/or Israel guests get interviewed or allowed to speak vs how many Palestinians or Arabs. It’s dozens and dozen and dozens vs possibly two, maybe three. The media isn’t even trying to accommodate voices from the other side, they are actively ignoring, silencing, and outright censoring those voices. On CNN alone. Five days of every week. In the eight hours between 9am and 5pm. FOUR of those hours every single day, a full half, is hosted by pro-Israel Jewish hosts (Dana Bash, Jake Tapper, and Wolf Blitzer) and laser focused on solely the Jewish perspective and the expense of not just Palestinian or Arab voices, but virtually any voices critical of Israel, be they black, white, brown, Christian, Muslim, or even Jewish! Coates absolutely nails this and skewers these stooges when he says that there is “…no shortage of the Israeli/Jewish perspective in our media…”

@@georgemetesky5519 You are just ignorant George. The truth is plain to see. You should open your mind and admit you are not that intelligent.
“The Punishment of Gaza ”. Book by Israeli journalist Gideon Levy, May 17 2010.
From the Qur'an 5:32 (meaning) If anyone kills a person, it would be as if they killed the whole of mankind; and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved all mankind.
Quoted from the Talmud originally.
Not only from the Qur'an -> the second part of the phrase can be found in Jewish scripture.
It’s difficult for a society to live right next to neighbors that want you dead.
Bless your heart Ta-Nehisi. You’re a great guy ❤
Eva, you're a legend.
No, she is a fool. She is a dangerous fool.

Ya step outta line,
The Man come and take you away!
I think its time we stop,
Hey, whats that sound?
Everybody look

I bought his book "The Message" after the acts of supremacy displayed by Tony Dokoupil and CBS. It's a brilliant book.
Indeed Americans do not know or do they even care?
Many of us care very much, are protesting, doing civil disobedience, letter writing, writing about it. The reason the nearly 70 percent of American against this don't have power to change this is "citizens united" which gave our democracy over to corporate money
This woman happily talks about the people siding with Palestinians. A fistful of people of this world??
I was slightly hopeful when Kamala Harris became the Dem candidate. I was wrong: Harris is just a non-senile version of Biden on Israel. Very disappointing.
By coincidence, as I watch this I get an email wanting money for both Tim Kaine and Kamala Harris's respective campaigns. (Don't hold your breaths...)
serious question - why were you slightly hopeful? She follows political momentum and power. She is a politician. If the energy and momentum swings in a different direction - she'd have a different approach.
@@jusletursoulglobaby Because I forgot everything you just said in a momentary lapse of optimism. She has some slight tendency towards being progressive (look at her senate career), so I hoped that she'd be able to see the Palestinians' humanity.
@@danaplaczek9664 Look at her career in California. A fascist puppet, not a Leftist as Trump claims.
Haris want to eliminate threats of violence by supporting genocide.
I admire and respect Ta-Nehisi Coates and Eva Borgwardt so much.
Thank you for giving them both a Voice to speak for the Voiceless
Great interview Amy!! What an amazing, kind, brave, intelligent human being Ta-Nahesi Coates is!! Thank you sir for giving a voice to the voiceless, the invisible, the oppressed. So much love, respect and appreciation for all that you do!! 🤍
Everyone is afraid to disrupt the flow of money!

A highly fair Western voice. All respect ❤
I was unfamiliar with Coates’ work. I will be correcting this immediately
If you want to know how one-sided the conversation of Israel/Palestine is in Western mainstream media, simply count. Count how many Jewish anchors, correspondents, or journalists (with either immediate family or first-hand experiences in Israel) get prime time slots to speak on this issue vs how many Palestinians or even Arabs do.
Then count how many Jewish and/or Israel guests get interviewed or allowed to speak vs how many Palestinians or Arabs. It’s dozens and dozen and dozens vs possibly two, maybe three. The media isn’t even trying to accommodate voices from the other side, they are actively ignoring, silencing, and outright censoring those voices.
On CNN alone. Five days of every week. In the eight hours between 9am and 5pm. FOUR of those hours every single day, a full half, is hosted by pro-Israel Jewish hosts (Dana Bash, Jake Tapper, and Wolf Blitzer) and laser focused on solely the Jewish perspective and the expense of not just Palestinian or Arab voices, but virtually any voices critical of Israel, be they black, white, brown, Christian, Muslim, or even Jewish!
Coates absolutely nails this and skewers these stooges when he says that there is “…no shortage of the Israeli/Jewish perspective in our media…”
Remember when they said whats going on in the middle east was too complicated and discouraged us from digging.
