      @@ssarim I like the way she describes one has to first find neutrality in oneself to form an opinion, for me its a key part. Emotional decision making is not the best choise with best possible outcomes. Shes right when talking about equality, it makes sense to point out and push minoritys, also in an not eaqual way eg. BlackLivesMatter.

    Dear Anna, what a decent and humanist person you are! You are in the league of remarkable Daniel Barenboim, Edward Said, Noam Chomsky, Ilan Pappe, Shlomo Sand, Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter. Thank you for your cultural and humanist intelligence and empathy that makes sense!
    I came to Lebanon to study Arabic and learn about the Near East, and I encountered most incredible people even when they found out that my mother was Jewish. What was incredible, some of these people had to go through the Israeli invasion and occupation of Southern Lebanon. They treated me with respect and they held high regards for my country Norway for not being a belligerent and murderous country like the United States and Israel.

      I'd love to see co existence but there's a problem with including palastinians as part of Israel the jews would become a minority instantly and under dimocracy this will give the power to the palastinians so after opressing them all this time of palastinians get the majority in Israel, Israelis know what would happen so they won't allow it to happen.. next problem is Israel doesn't want to give up any land they have already taken which means palastinians won't agree to give up those lands it's a mess

I especially appreciate her articulation of the truth that standing up for the rights of the vulnerable does not negate the freedoms of others, but rather seeks to bring everyone up to the standards of rights and dignity that all people deserve.
