Israeli settlers: Patriots or invaders? | Head to Head
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2013
- A UN report says Israeli settlements violate human rights and could be prosecuted as war crimes, but many Israeli settlers consider themselves patriots. So what hope is there for peace in the Middle East?
In a country where settlers are now one of the biggest and strongest political movements, Dani Dayan, a Netanyahu advisor and the outgoing chairman of the Yesha (Settlers) Council, says there is no two-state solution to the conflict and that he is happy with the status quo.
Dayan has been a major in the Israeli army, a successful IT entrepreneur, and a University lecturer. In 1999 he became an executive committee member of the Yesha Council, which represents the settler movement, and in 2007, its chairman until February 2013. He completely revitalised the movement until his resignation to campaign openly for Binyamin Netanyahu.
Mehdi Hasan goes head to head with Dayan at the Oxford Union, discussing whether Zionism is a colonialist project, whether the so-called apartheid roads are just an urban legend - and more importantly, what is the solution to this protracted conflict?
Dayan claims settlements are irreversible but preaches in favour of dismantling the wall. With a lively audience and robust debate from the expert panel, Head to Head is tackling the hard issues surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Are the settlements a natural extension of the Israeli state or the single biggest obstacle to peace in the Middle East? Will the Palestinians ever be able to build an independent and viable state?
Joining our discussion are: Dr Ghada Karmi, an academic and the author of The Palestinian Exodus (1999), In Search for Fatima (2002), and Israel's Dilemma in Palestine (2007); Sam Westrop, a former director of the British Israel Coalition, and a fellow of the New York-based Gatestone Institute; and Hannah Weisfeld, the director of Yachad, a pro-peace, pro-Israel NGO based in London.

I'm tired of them calling them settlers. They are invaders.
learn more history you nitwit
Very well said, thank you
They are extremist terrorists.
The Arabs actually invaded the area btw
They settle nothing! They just impose fear and violence to gain control
Stealing peoples houses and property while walking around entitled and arrogant is OBSCENE.
without US support they would be forced to make peace. But, Since our tax dollars go towards this zionists terrorist genocide regime due to amoral US interests this is what we have. In the meantime, our infrastructure is crumbling, social security is bankrupt , healthcare is still expensive and unaffordable. The reason told to us by our politicians on both sides is that we have a 33 trillion deficit which is why we cant afford it. YET, we spend billions in israel.ukraine and other places to fight wars and destabilize places like pakistan and other nations. We finally, commit all these atrocities and blame our victims of the very crime we commit. THIS is what is outrageous. What happened to our people in the US? why do they not come first? shameful.
They don't believe in building their own homes. Too labour intensive. Who carries more weight here. Overweight people are inherently lazy.

Away from me, you evildoers!’@@tonyking9235
This war was bound to happen, when you go into someone else's land, suppress them, and then force them out. This is so sad.

This is a perfect example of how 'a people' who are in control, and have the power to make a choice (and a difference) have utter contempt, not only for those they oppress, but EVERYONE who is NOT them! You will never get any sense from a person who ALWAYS believes they are in the right!
Excellent quote! 👍🏻
Exactly this. It’s a sense of god given superiority over the Palestians, godgiven right to the land, and disregard for any international authority or any non Jewish pov. He is a perfect example of delusion. It would be a more intelligent, valid conversation with 5 year old from remote village on the other side of the world.
He uses the word “respect” like it’s some sort of healing salve for all the religious and racial elitist bs he tries to push. I don’t think he actually knows the meaning of the word respect. He may understand the Palestian plight for a state but does not give two shits. It’s inconsequential in terms of his own perceived rights.
Watch the Wedding of Hate. And Israel Automated Security
Like how the ottomans caliphate and Mamluk treated Jews in Israel????
При этом, почему-то евреи не делали теракты ,под правлением Османов, но после когда земля перешла Великобритании, евреи создали 2 организации, которые убивали Палестинцев, вот даёшь свободу евреям, с сразу всё в 💩 идёт.@@jdcarling
Can't we agree that forcing people at gunpoint from their houses so you can move in is stealing? Why is that a hard thing to grasp?
This is a story of Jews, so, I know it will be easy for you to grasp. There is man who heard voices in his head and declared himself "The Messenger" did this to the Jewish Tribes of Arabia, now Saudi Arabia. He murdered their men, raped their women, and evicted the remaining from their tribal lands.
@@clown7841show you proof because that is factually wrong and let’s say it was true does that mean people can do that today you Zionists love to use arguments about things that happened thousands of years ago which are not even true.
Starting wars is even worst. Arabs have started wars ever since the founding of both nations in 1946. Every war they started, israel has won. If you win a war, you can take land. It's legal under UN guidelines. If the arab countries won the war they started instead, would they not have done the same thing?
It's very hard for a lot of people, it seems.

I am the least violent person you will ever meet, I feel bad when I step on an ant. However seeing this interviewee makes my blood boil. His way of thinking is insane. My heartfelt support goes out to the Palestinian people.
Its sooo fkd up to imagine the way they wer chased from their own lands and that the world supports israel to do this! Its sickening!! Really really bad that nonsense has to end now.just remember that video is from 10 yrs ago and now they want the world to think that that war started on the 7th of October. If you are oppressing people just remember that all of them aren't sheep. Btw i love camels too.😊😊
He's a jerk, and he does not represent the Israeli people. It's like interviewing Tucker Carlson and saying here is America. And he isn't all wrong but he is very jerky in his presentation.
Exactly! A total lunatic!!!
His way of thinking is evil and hateful. I agree with you
He was well funded and supported 10 years ago. But here we are 10 years later and we're all calling 🐂💩
10 years Old video and everyone should be watching it again.
The latest war is not new.
Mehdi Hassan is the ultimate interviewer. I don’t always agree with him (on this topic I do), but boy do I respect his intellect and mastery of debate
I have never understood why a group of people who went through immeasurable pain and suffering that they did not deserve in anyway whatsoever would turn around and inflict immeasurable pain and destruction on a group of people who have never done anything to them and just want to stay in their homes.
The oppressed became the oppressor.
Wow, something i struggled to understand. Guess you just got to be an a*^ wipe.
They were learning from the first hand
i have been asking this question for decades it does not make any sense since they know first hand how it is like to opressed
@@getlost4690 exactly like what is the point of saying never again if you end up becoming the perpetrator 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
This aged very well. War is occurring right now in this region because this mentality hasn't changed. This was filmed a decade ago.

I'm reading Miko Peled's book The General's son and my latest reflections have me thinking about just language itself and how language shapes our world. He had mentioned traveling to see a Palestinian group in Bil'in that swears to never be violent, he was and talking to a settler there (and entering his home with two Palestinians) and the settler spoke Russian and not Hebrew, when the Palestinians he was with spoke flawless Hebrew. my latest idea is that that our first crime is calling it the land of Israel when we should actually still call it the land of Palestine. We shouldn't say the "settlements" are illegal, we should say the whole state of Israel is illegal.
Exactly. The only murderous ones are the Zionist with dual citizenship. Russians, French, English, an American. They want to keep the war machine well oiled. War is profitable to the west.
TRUE!
I like that "Our first crime is calling it the land of Israel..."
At this point in time it should be called as it is ,(OCCUPIED PALESTINE.)
I noticed that the boundaries of States are imaginary. I also got to wondering who, where, or what is the State? I could not answer any of these questions; so I concluded that the reason the boundaries of States are imaginary is because the states themselves are imaginary: the State exists only in the minds of those who believe in it.
They stole the land from innocent people who had nowhere to go and they are doing it right now and it's disgusting
Yes & they were aided & abetted by others . Cheers Tippo. UK. GB.
You can’t even argue with these bunch of common theifs
You mean the ottomans mamluks and caliphate are still trying to be epic squatters?
@@jdcarling no the only squatters I know off are the European land squatters in Palestine

Greywind30 yup same as Google updated maps no son I don't accept what the Zion proprangada feeds us and accept it as truth I don't sit behind the tube and learn history I'm well aware the history Israeli teaches it's children and it is totally different from world history your people has gone as far to create a false history to justify your cleansing of races ohh no is this another human soap electric floor mantra yes I don't believe in those stories either tell us how many genocides your people committed in the last 150 yrs Amerian genocide bolivick revolution how many did the Jews actually kill
Reese Lazara
You believe whatever you WANT to believe but there are facts commonly excepted historical facts. If you dont put your trust in wiki (which is understandable) there is Britanica for example.
Jews are indigenous people of land you call "Palestine" and they have been live there UNINTERRUPTED for millenniums. There are Egyptian, Roman, Byzantine etc documents, archeological evidence and simply tangible evidence like jewish cemetery "Mount Olive" 2500 yr old.
Greywind30 tell us about how many your people killed through the ages tell us about the blood libel
Greywind30 Palestinians are Semites too, so you are totally correct
10 years and only a million views it says a lot about us as human beings and to this day this is still happening.

10 years ago, I wouldn't understand what is being said. Now, after October 7th 2023 I understand what's happening. Hard to see hope for peace between Palestinians and Israelis unfortunately
By reading the comments I've come to believe the Palastinians have a lot more people on their side than the media lets on and our Israeli aid shows. I truly believe most people are against what Israel is doing and our government is on the wrong side of this.
@Bvmary Mary Well I have been to Israel and have seen first hand how Palestinians are treated compared to Israeli citizens. I have also seen, for my entire life, how Isreal responds to terror attacks, by taking it out on the civilians. They shoot journalists and children, sanction their imports and occupy land that isn't their's. As far as I'm concerned, Israel is guilty of crimes against humanity and many war crimes. If you stand with the Israeli government on this issue you are on the wrong side. Maybe you are the sheep, or you are a heartless person with no empathy for innocent oppressed people. Sure there are some terrorists, but they aren't the civillian population. It's not like they can raise an army in their open air prison and fight them toe to toe. When they do fight it's rocks vs. machine guns, not too fair. I don't know how a person with any knowledge on the subject can blame the Palestinians at this point. A two state solution is the only one that will work since Israel obviously doesn't want them as citizens, and the only ones stopping that from happening is Israel.
Yes they have, me for ex believed back in the days that Israel was the good guys and Palestine the bad guys. But thanks to logic, common sense and knowledge, I now know I was wrong and that Israels regime are the AGGRESSOR. And the day Palestine are free many people will have hearts of shame. Greetings from Sweden. If people could decide Palesinte would have been free a long time ago.
It amazes me we still help them considering they almost sunk the USS Independence and killed 30+ sailors only to say it was an accident later on.
Your government is not yours.

Don't forget they were expelled from the land in 70 AD. Then after nearly 2,000 years, they expect to walk back into the land as if nothing happened.
@@70ad25 hey dummy. Jews always lived there as a minority. Jews are indigenous ppl of that land

@@70ad25 Romans did that, not the Palestinians..
this people you say were being expelled also massacred other peoples to take over this land.. the massacres are well documented as the present atrocities.
@@slconsmedia981
Interpret 70 AD at a spiritual level. The New Testament says, this was a judgement on apostate Jerusalem. A judgement because the Hebrews killed the Old Testament prophets, they persecuted and martyred the Saints, and they crucified their own Messiah. Expulsion from the land was a divine judgement.
Modern day Jews are Khazars. After the expulsion in 70 AD, the genealogical records of the original Hebrews were gone. Then in
740 AD, the Khazars (European Jews). converted to Talmudic Judaism. They are pretending to be the "chosen ones", which they are not. They are Khazars (European Jews) who converted to Talmudic Judaism in 740 AD. They have got nothing to do with the Scriptures. They have got no biblical right to the land. Modern day Israel was built out of Zionism, a political nationalistic, fascist, movement.
I think lm like alot of westerners at this moment in time. My eyes have been opened to the plight of the Palestinian people and how the Palestine was ethnically cleansed. Hamas is awful but these poor people have been dispossessed by the world. There has to some justice for them to get peace.
Netanyahu actively supported Hamas to destroy the PLO and destroy the peace process ever since 1996 and again in 2019. Someone killed Yasser Arafat using Polonium and the far-right Israelis killed Yitzhak Rabin in 1995 because he was too close to achieving peace.
You’re wrong. I am a “Western” (aka White) person and I could care less about either Palestinians or Israelis.
The thing is, the evil Zionist regime, has been murdering and torturing innocent men, women and children for 75 years, but everything is censored or fabricated by their media! But still, many of us have been watching everything that has happened, and it’s all documented! Most people, like Americans, don’t care about the truth, they believe anything that the Israeli and US media feeds them! But now, they can’t hide it anymore!
@@2200Stinger First of all....he didn't say 'ALL westerners', so the fact you don't care about them is irrelevant. Secondly, if you don't care at all, why are you watching this video? haha weird!
@@davenuttall88 I could care less about the safety and wellbeing of Israelis and Palestinians, I should have said. I do enjoy spectating any major conflict that arises in the world. And I absolutely love informing people on the faults of Israel (a state formed on the basis of a huge lie) and the faults of Palestinians (virtually all terrorists/enablers).
If this video was made 10 years ago. Let us look at the status of the settlements as of 11-23-2023. Nothing has changed!!!!!
And they then wonder why they're perpetually hated and persecuted throughout history.
Dani Dayan was born in Argentina. but he claim the West Bank is his land. What madness, what arrogance, what dishonesty, what self-delusion, what insanity. People like him create problems in the world and the act innocent.
The US provided $3.8 billion in foreign military aid to Israel. Israel also benefits from about $8 billion of loan guarantees. Almost all US aid to Israel is now in the form of military assistance, while in the past it also received significant economic assistance. This is sickening. America is just as guilty for this bloodshed as Israel is.
How prejudiced the qustioner siding with Islamic agenda. Give your country to them if you think they are needy
The more the better
Keep whining,no nation,state,kingdom in history is a saint either,they did what is better for them and their allies.Nobody cares about the plight of some Arabs who claimed themselves as Palestinians with victim card as their motto to claimed a land that they clearly lost in a war they started even though they were more of a settler than the Jewish themselves

We can't in our own power understand each other it takes the understanding of Almighty God.
The Battle is mostly a Spiritual one as the Bible describes and it's indeed a mighty struggle and as man and woman we at loggerheads Arabic people against Jewish people but in the unseen realm it's a Spiritual battle mostly that is sure in my mind with the experience and study I have had.
A solution will will not be found in our own thinking if it were so do you not think it would have already been found? The God we trust is Holy He has given the Holy Bible for our benefit as people as doctrine and instruction a manual for life we must use it and read it always so we can understand the way forward in this dispute. But the single biggest stumbling block here for the Arabs to them understanding is that they don't recognize the God of the Jews and Christain's our Lord is the only true God all the other gods are idols but what's impossible of man Is possible for God.

Now I understand why you can not discuss with settler Zionists. That he insists on naming the West Bank "Judea and Samaria" means that his narrative is the only narrative.
He respects them but is determined they won't have their own state. That is, they are the existential enemy and there can be no reconciliation. That's cleared that up then. What a horror... 🤢🤮

He long ago disconnected from the parts of himself that tell him not to be this way.
This popped on my timeline and I watched it not realising it was from 10 years ago. This attitude is EXACTLY why we have what’s going on right now. When a population that went through the genocide in the ‘40s doesn’t see anything wrong in doing the exact same thing to another population and arrogantly defend themself even though it is clear they are the occupier… When they have inflicted inhumane atrocities to the Palestinians and yet don’t want to see another point of view nor accept global opinion, this war would never end. I wish for peace on both sides.

In fact, most Israeli towns are settlements. Most of which are built on demolished Palestinian villages and given Hebrew names to give the impression that these are 'Old Hebaric Villages' while they are Palestinian names turned into Hebrew.
Yes. David Ben-Gurion had the honesty to tell the truth about this, unlike too many nowadays.

Agree or disagree with this guy, respect to everyone for keeping it as civil as possible considering what the discussion was about.
Gee , i'm watching this 10years later- i thought it was now!!!
Man! She handed his head in his hands. What a women with conviction.
The United Nations Security Council on Monday unanimously approved a formal statement expressing opposition to Israel's ongoing expansion of illegal settlements on Occupied Palestinian Territory, the first time in more than six years the United States has permitted the body to rebuke its close ally.
Speaking of the United Nations Security Council: This is the height of cynicism and ingratitude that a man who lives in a land that owes its right to exist to a UN resolution (Partition Act), , now so brazenly and arrogantly rejects EVERY UN decision and says that the UN has nothing to decide about Israel.
Good for the U.S. to say No. Why is Israel still doing it???
Israel should be expelled from the UN. They treat UN Resolutions with contempt. There are more UN Resolutions held against Israel, than all of the 192 nations of the world put together. Think about that. Israel are of the Synagogue of Satan prophecied in Revelation. A satanic nation with their satanic Babylonian Talmud.
The Jewish settlers should leave the settlements now!!!!!!, is inhumane 😢😢😢. Support for the Palestinians from Spain 🇪🇸
The fact that they invite him and stay there arrogantly justifying colonialism and talk about 2 state solution is amazing!!! Imagine they kill the owners and steal their homes than want to find somewhere to kick the owners!! That’s a mind blowing!!!

I can't watch this video. Heart breaking to see people's home being demolished so brutally.
If Jews stole my house…I wouldn’t be happy about it to say the least
He was born in Argentina. His forebares are from Ukraine. He doesn't have a leg to stand on. He is a settler.
I guess the settlers are like the mafia. They can do whatever they want. To these people international law is just a matter of opinion. It's like a criminal takes over your house by force and then says he is not wrong because the law does not apply to him because he does not recognise it. SMH!
I can’t believe that this has been going on for so long and nobody ever did anything.
Protests have been going on for years but it's taken a catastrophe for hundreds of thousands to take to the streets to demand things change. Until the US funding stops and UK/US supply weapons and backing stops things will only get worse and the genocide will continue unabated.
(American and British imperialism enters the room)
Unfortunately, it is true that UN resolutions are not binding. They are recommendations and most countries would need to follow them but under the UN chart, yhey are not binding.
10 years old, and it's still going on. Regardless of the UN or the Hague. Unbelievable
Wow... This Dani lives in a totally different reality.. He tells the lies so much he made it reality in his head..
yeah it was told that Hitler was doing the same thing.
Basically an ego
@@CarcyBass He taught them well I see.
He’s right, he was close to the ministry, he knows more than you
Maybe it's he who lives in the real world and you are the one who lives in a fantasty
Calling the West Bank "Judea and Samaria" is like the Greeks moving into Turkey and calling Istanbul "Constantinople"! In fact, that was more recent! The idea of a "Jewish state" is racist and xenophobic. The most fair solution is to have one secular state with equal rights and representation for all people.
Good catch!
You don't see the irony that Constantinople was 'stolen land.'? How about this? Instead of focusing on Israel, focus on every country in the Middle East which has zero fair representation...meaning all of them. You can start with Jordan which has a king with 90 percent Palestinian population.
@@MrShanktorsion agree. Separation of Church and state is the only way for peace to be possible.
Originally Samaria and judea belong to ancestry of Palestinians.
Star of David was a sacred star for the Canaanites, used by Ashkenazi jews in their flag.
Ancient Israel belong to ancestry of Palestinians.
Most nowadays jews are Ashkenazi of khazars origin.
Caspian sea used to be called khazars sea in Persians, Turkish and Azerbaijani maps, some of them until now.
This explains why most of nowadays jews came from Russia and close countries, close to their roots. Khazars kingdom.
DNA proved that...
@@MrShanktorsion Checkmate!
WHO IS WATCHING THIS IN NOV-2023?????
10 years after this town hall the problem has gotten worse! More settlements more private roads, more apartheid
This gentleman is completely divorced from reality. I wonder 10 years later how he feels about the effects of settlers.
Exact same no doubt.
I am afraid he feels very proud.
The gibberish statement coming from tht guy is amazing..he contradict himself so many times tht he didnt notice it..
we are trying so hard here to comprehend everything he said from the beginning till the end
It’s because he knows it’s wrong and he doesn’t care.
Isreal "I agree to peace settlement but the land is mine" 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂
It’s amazing that this person is spewing everything that they are doing today but they have justified it. Western media is constantly falling asleep or not wanting to put these type of double standards in open view for its viewers. We have a lot of Americans and people in the west the prefer to watch certain news channels and just take everything at face value and not truly understand the situation. If we allow these type of events to carry on one day we will all live under certain suppression and oppression. It’s like the hunger games, I bet most people that watch hunger games take the same side because they are not emotionally connected to either side. But if you make either side Muslim and non Muslim, they’ll start taking sides instead of standing up for what’s right. Killing humans that can’t defend themselves is a war crime, is terrorism, is genocide.
If you could take land based on where your ancestors lived... I'd own quite a nice chunk of Eastern Europe. And I'm french.
@anne smith yes idiot but tht doesn't mean every jew can claim every bit of land there
France colonized sovereign states. Israel is a the sovereign state occupied by by Arabs invading from Arabia.
And you're welcome to it. Bonne journee...
@anne smith Palestinians are the true Israelites who conquered Goliath and the Philistines.
Yeah and give America back to the Indians!
These discussions are great, we need more of them please!
Discussions for how many more decades? You use discussion as an excuse to stops action any against Israel, Boycott, Sanctions, Divestment against apartheid Israel.
We can discuss when Israels regime is hold accountable for breaking human rights, doing Apartheid system and Genocide. Very simple. What Palestinians need is not discussion, they need help to survive.
It is crazy that a people who have not lived on that for thousands of years thinks that it still belongs to you even though you forced the people who have lived there for thousands of years out when you yourself have not been there for thousands of years how can you justify calling that yours when u haven't been there for millennia
@@randallthompson5602they think it belongs to then because the UN gave it to them
@@michaelpukshanski8305the UN decided after the vote was manipulated by Israeli and US lobbyists. Without interference that decision would never have been made
Send the settlers to the Sinai instead of of Palestine people!
Props to Mehdi, I would have not been able to contain myself once the camera stopped rolling.
Ya Rab, we await your justice!
Allah helps those that help themselves
👏👏 Israel will go soon.

What exactly for..what should I do?
I appreciate that Mehdi Hasan is deeply informed about the Middle East, never veers into even a hint of antisemitism and has open and serious dialogue with other people.
💙🇮🇱💙
antisemitism has become a funny word..
anything non jewish says is antisemitism LOL
I hope you're being sarcastic lol. Mehdi is the human face of anti semitism
Palestinians are semites. Europeans are not.
O, c'mon. If someone says something you don't like, you can't start screaming: antisemitism! That's just nonsense. @@snowpenguin2266
not only invading Palestine but also invading against humanity.
Would love to know the current views of some of the audience, 10 years later, and especially now. 🤔
This man will never follow the law of reason because his reasoning can be twisted in any direction he wants.
Mr Dayan has no respect for any international courts/commissions of law. If this law is against his expectation, then he will blame it on the lack of intelligence, etc, etc. This guy has turned out not to be a good choice for debate.
@Sunil Kumar we may not be able to understand the pain but we understand that for any person on his side who may have lost someone dear there are people on the other side who have lost someone dear too. Both side have lost, are losing and will keep losing dear innocent people if they re not open to dialogue
He spoke well and his citations are appropriate
@@humanbeing5016No…he acted like a typical spoiled condescending Zionist
This guy is a real piece of work!
Mehdi yes but not that monster
@@cyberanon2463 Mahmoud Abbas and Ismail Haniyeh are the true monsters, and their allies, Ayatollah Khamein'i and Hassan Nasrallah
How can they be anything other than terrorists to grab someone’s house n property and displace them ?
This war just hurts my heart... free Gaza. Free Palestine
Dani Dayan a brilliant hasbara agent, he talks like a politician. Always avoiding straight answers and constantly trying to change the subject.
A Jew born in Buenos Aires with family from Ukraine. But he deserves Palestine?
First he said, nobody needs to leave their homes, the he goes on with Jordan as the alternative homeland. Wow, typical trickery!
Yes .. doing alot of deflecting and babbling
In lying the brain has to over work.
"Convince me that you and your settler friends are not common thieves" - it's now been years...still not convinced...
How are they settlers, there was a war arabs started it, they lost. Israel got its land back, fact, not feeling
Israel let's them live there, if they don't like it they can go home to jordan
@@chrismiller6095 Isreal illegal invaded the west Bank, Gaza, Golan heights and the Sinai in the 6 days war. Then at the end of the Yom Kippur war they agreed to give the Sinai back and help make an independent Palestinian state I'm the west Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza. The settlers are illegally moving into the west Bank, not the territory they annexed after the 48 war.
@@chrismiller6095 they're home is in Isreal/Palestinian. They've been there for 2000+ years.
Joining the Pro-Palestinian March in London tomorrow.
I couldn’t find this video more motivational and why I’m supporting the Palestinian cause. ✊🇵🇸❤️
Calling israelis settles patriot is like calling hitler an angel
As a Jamaican I approve every word that comes out of this lady mouth 👄🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲..
The arrogance of this man is astounding.

He's a jew what do you expect. They killed their own prophets sent from God. search it.
@@AbdulMoueedHaroon -ur musl;im,i know what to expect
That guy is living in a parallel universe😂
The question is, how this happened. And I think, that this is work of UN, USA and everyone, who agreed with establishment of Izrael in Palestina.
