If any ever existed!

What Israel’s prestige? They decimated a population to have “their” nation by stealing 76y ago, and are NOW doing it all over again. Of course ‘they’ see prestige, somehow, somewhere, they can fool themselves as much as they want but they can’t fool the entire world anymore and they’re just NOW realizing it, as we speak.

All of these lies have been disproven already. There is simply no evidence of any of these crazy assertions. But there is video evidence of IDF forces murdering women and children in cold blood. Thanks for the QED, by the way. Video is about the inability of Zionists to self-criticize and you respond with deflection. Classic.

You are welcome

Still have so much to cover

Let us know what you learn ;)

Darwish! ;)

Interesting!

Or should I say, the IOF. As they are not defence, they are offence.

Have to read it to believe it…at least before they started uploading to TikTok and bragging about it!

Trying to!

@@StephenHeiner you're not trying you are doing it!! Big difference.

Yeah great idea but say that about all the other people who have been through this before, Germany, china, japan, russia, syria, afganistan and so many more where the people don't have a choice in what they say at all!

I think we can see from the most recent hostage interviews that they see the PR value of Israelis going back saying they got baked a birthday cake, etc.

It’s a very powerful storytelling medium

I added it to my Amazon wishlist. Might be reviewed next year! ;)

Thank you

Thanks

No one can be unbiased who has spent more than five minutes looking at the truth. You then gain a “bias” for the truth against the lies of the Zionists. I am against the Zionist entity, yes. But I am not against Jewish people.

“Everything and anything” includes murdering unarmed women and children. If that’s what a country is based on it should not exist.

No, Zola is on the Index of Prohibited Books (omnia opera, which means everything he wrote) so as a Catholic I can only read for a serious reason, for example studying his work as part of a French literature course. I did read some Zola when studying in France but not Germinal. What intrigued you about it?

@@StephenHeiner I was not aware of the existence of an index of prohibited books, and why is Zola on that list… because of religion? (I’m catholic too, as catholic as we can be in Québec.. which could prob explain why I’ve never heard of this). I did read it first for French lit class, I was prob ~14yo. I wasn’t much interested in reading books at that time tbh (was competing++, training 24h+/week) it came later for me, but Germinal was the first book I did read completely, and to my own surprise, with interest. [I hope my memory is not failing me here, and I won’t make a fool of myself 🫠😅] What got to me, the sensitive teen that I was (as far as I can remember), were the extremely poor and abusive life and working conditions of the time, this constant darkness floating above their heads (literally and figuratively), the absence of any hope of a better tomorrow, the level of malnutrition, of suffering and the numbers of (preventable) deaths of women, babies and children, how families all lived together by necessity, how they had no power and couldn’t do anything about it, mothers having to send their young children to work knowing they’d be used for the most dangerous jobs in coal mines that would most likely cause their premature death, and overall, how they lived and died in such horrific conditions bc human beings lives meant nothing. It was to me the first realistic representation that really got to me about how dramatic the poverty and life conditions were at the time (understanding literature is hard with ASD 😒.. but paying attention to every detail sure isn’t 😅). It struck me how life was worth absolutely nothing att, how even though the dangers in coal mines were known and occurred regularly, not much was done to prevent their unnecessary deaths. Reading this book shattered my remaining teenager’s innocence. In retrospect, 30y later, I’m not convinced things have changed that much for the better or that life is worth something more than back then. Sure the work we do nowadays is different and has evolved, but has it really changed in how we’re been treated? In the US of A, RN, Kids that should be in school are working full time jobs in slaughterhouses to do the worst, the most dangerous and most disgusting work out there, and of course 13-14-15 y.olds children have died in *totally preventable* work related accidents, but they don’t care bc they’re brown kids “that prob were Mexican illegals anyways”. That’s happening now, in the USA, despite the “worldwide reputable” OSHA. Working 40+hrs/week for 50 weeks might not even cover your rent and bills, even as a professional, and will only get you 10 days off. We’re back to an era where we need more than 1 person working to cover basic living expenses. Today’s abuse of power over workers is just the same. The more I reflect on it, the more I realize the influenced it might have had on me 🤔. I first started as a r.nurse, then became an occupational health and safety manager in heavy industrial production settings, like aerospace, truck mechanic shops, etc. Maybe. (Please note that English is my 2nd language, sorry for any mistakes… talking about French lit in English is a first for me 😅) FYI, I try to drop a (~) pertinent comment on all your vids and shorts I watch to help out with “the algorithm”, because I really believe your content and the truth you bring to light deserve and NEED to be viewed by wayyy more people. Hope it helps, in some ways!

@@StephenHeiner Also, on a personal note, you not only brought back my interest in literature and reading books in general (instead of listening.. that’s too easy), but also I appreciate your suggestions of books in english covering topics I prob wouldn’t have thought reading about. Thank you very much for that! I just picked up in an ‘exchange book box’ “Les anciens Canadiens” by Philippe Aubert de Gaspé (1786-1871). I know you’re interested in Quebec history ;)

Thanks, Stephen. I saw this interview when it first came out, and so appreciate that you posted it with the book review.

Thanks for joining me on this journey. ;)

That’s the thing, as Macklemore said in Hind’s Hall, “the Nakba never ended, the colonizer lied.”

Alas if only more people read.

Have you read the Man Who was Thursday?

@@StephenHeiner Yes!🤓 I've read it on the library of my University 40 years ago. Two years later i bought it. I'm Spanish 🇻🇪speaker, 😅by the way!
