Thanks for this Corey - I sometimes find your interview techniques a little brusque or dismissive, but I learn a lot from watching your videos. It's interesting that almost all the Israelis are very prickly about use of the word "colonialism" but the woman at the end in Ariel really sums up the settler colonialist mindset perfectly: in her view the Palestinians are incapable of ruling themselves, disorder is "their way" and their lives are much better (and wealthier) for being able to live around Israelis. That's a really grotesque opinion - and somehow all the most chilling for being expressed in such a friendly, casual, polite way.

[@jamesmaybury7452]

It’s not so much an opinion as an observation. In Israel more than 20% are Arab Israelis. Their standard of living is better, their women are more free, they can vote, the healthcare and social benefit, crime rate is better. It’s not that one group are better humans than another but there are certainly better ideologies and things to concentrate on. In Israel they concentrate on family, community, they reward hard work and innovation. Many Palestinians have been brought up to blame Jews and look for to a time when life will be better once they have eradicated them. I see the same with individuals in Scotland too, some build, some blame. The builders have a better life.

I think the last lady had a good point. The Arab countries and leaders and wealthy people like she said in some of the palestinian villages have too much to gain from the conflict and too easy to only blame Israel instead of develope and start a big change and to move forwards

[@eden3685]

@jamesmaybury7452 I agree. Gaza is a good example. While complaining about no access to water and blaming Israel to ability to shut off their water that Israel has to to supply them because still after all the donations hamas has got from the world after all these years still they havent developed, instead hamas turns the waterpipes that does exists to rockets and blame easily on Israel . While the Hamas leaders are billionares and millioners many people there live poorly especially the ones that dont have a connection to Hamas.

​@@anapontopina86 It's interesting you see her this way. I'm not happy about the situation of the Palestinians, but I didn't see her casual approach as creepy/evil.

I think this shows how much our opinions make it harder to have a productive discussion when the situation is so loaded.

In any dispute - you got back to the first cause/ first action. If there was a robbery of precious jewels - and the thief passed the stolen jewels to family, and grandsons, and their grandsons after that…. If the owner finds the jewels and wants them back … the thief’s children don’t automatically own them because they’ve had them for a long time. Even if they had bought the jewels from a thief, does not make the jewels theirs - because they never had legal right to them. In the case of Israel, they have come back to collect and restore what was taken when they were exiled in 70AD … but they have also paid for almost all of the land, purchased by title deeds. That’s would be like paying a thief’s children for your own jewels back.

This was ratified by treaty (Sevres of 1920) League of Nations Covenant, and later ratified again by the UN Charter (article 22.) There was no occupation except for 1949-1967 by Egypt and Jordan.

Sus habitantes tenían un estilo de vida tranquilo, y acomodado, "a la europea". En la partición de Palestina de 1948, la localidad quedó en la parte que fue adjudicada al nuevo Estado. Sus habitantes se negaron a abandonar sus casas. El ejercito del nuevo Estado asesinó a todos los varones adultos y los enterró en dos fosas comunes, deportó a los ancianos a Cisjordania y encerró a las mujeres y los niños en campos de concentración, para, años más tarde, reportarlos a su vez a Cisjordania.

Nakba was the result of a war the Arabs started and lost. Shek Jerrah was originally a Jewish neighborhood named Shimon Hazadik. Arabs illegally took over it and rented it out to poorer Arabs.

Deir Yassin is the only issue where Israel behaved wrongly and apologized for it to Jordan, the government which ruled that area at the time. Please remember though that this followed multiple cases where Arabs murdered Jews on the way to Jerusalem to deliver food. They killed thousands far more than Jews ever did. Tensions were high and a small group were vindictive. It was horrible. Uk did not give Israel to the Jews. In fact, they gifted their weapons to the Arabs when they abandoned the country.

Do we want to establish another such state, which will probably be unstable from day one, 20 kilometers from Tel Aviv and 10 kilometers From our only international airport?

It was never stolen. Palestine - was a region that both Jewish and Arab people shared - it was always a part of other empires. It was never Palestinian land. The UN partitioned the land into a two states. for both the Jews and the Arabs in 1947. The Arabs rejected their half of the partition because they wanted to eradicate Israel. In 1947 India lost land to Pakistan in the two state Partition of India into two separate countries. India is not demanding Pakistan back. Germany lost land to Poland after WW2 never heard of the Germans demanding their land back from Poland. In WW2 more civilians lost their lives in Germany than in Britain …that didn’t make Germany right. Palestinians will have to stop playing victim. Left alone Israel is no threat.

On this basis, as my Irish ancestors (a couple of thousand years ago) controlled the Isle of Man, Wales, Scotland and the North of England as far as Hadrians Wall (built by the Roman empire to keep us celts out of England) - I think Ireland has a moral right to reoccupy these areas and we should do it as soon as we find an opportunity /excuse to do it!!!

The argument of "how long we go back" is a fair argument, but only if there were no ethnic cleansing and replacement of people with another. Because let's be clear. The holy land was jewish before it was arabized, in the same way it was of other, pre-jewish historical people living there before the jews. The difference between imperialism and colonialism may not be clear, but imperialism was basically a people being subject to different empires, and to different extent be culturally affected by it. The caliphates arabized the whole region - think about it whatever you want, but the people that began to speak arabic has the same lineage. Yes, migration occured, as it occurs in any other nation - but the extent of history implies the whole people is still the same, even if some other "blood was mixed in". Some nations have large and other minor migration, but the eventual mixing of this people still gives us the continuum of a people living in a specific place. Israel displaced palestinians - and litterally, imported people from Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Middle East... every where (still does it to this day), while displacing, locking out and demolishing palestinian, their homes etc, there is not a single "continuum" of Israelis having great, great, great grandfathers, and their ditos living on those lands! Also most people don't seem to understand what occupation is. Occupation is when a foreign power rules over you/your national resources, without giving you your rights as a citizen under such system. Palestinans w/o israeli citizenship in WB, Gaza and East Jerusalem is native to their lands, are controlled and ruled by Israel (by military rule!), or their sovernity is heavily limited and therefore indirectly controlled/ruled by Israel. Israel don't even need to have annectation or settlement aspirations. If they were to raze down all settlements, expell israeli settlers and time-limit their rule over their palestinian subject to lets say 30 more years, it is still occupation untill the day they leave!

These guys all look so guilty when asked about the occupation it's almost comical. It may be all politics to them, but it's the harsh reality of the Palestinians. The restriction of movement, taking 4 hours to travel a couple of kilometers to their job, lack of water resources, unprovoked murders by the IDF, etc. Now they are trying to take over the Arab areas in Hebron. It's a disgrace and they should be embarrassed.

nope. she ment Arab village didn't have running water not electricity before Israel. you can ask our neighbours countries, Jordan and Egypt, were most population doesn't have either of those. arab villages also didn't have medical facilities and more. which is how Israel actually rose up the death age in the territories from 50 all the way to 67.

These people were forced to then move to ghettos built by the Apartheid regime that were built strategically to subdue riots and uprisings, they were built with one entrance and exit so that if the police ever needed to stop an uprising they only needed to block one road. Secondly in 1970 we had the Bantu Homelands Citizenship Act, which gave land known as Bantustans, to different ethnic groups, this is the land where they would be governed according to their own tribal legislation, but the lands were just that, land with no infrastructure.

Here's the real answer: because "occupation" and "occupy" and similar words have formal meanings within International Humanitarian Law, and if the Israeli government admitted to and referred to the West Bank as "occupied", then international law in the form of the Hague Convention 1907 and the Geneva Conventions 1949 would come into play, and Israel would be responsible for exercising the required rights and responsibilities of an "occupier". Although Israeli has claimed to be providing many of the same rights to the Palestinians as the Geneva Conventions require out of the goodness of their hearts, Israel does not, of course, provide ALL the GC-required rights, and so it more convenient to simply insist they are not, strictly speaking, an "occupying power". There are many arguments made for this point of view in various law journals for the past 50+ years. If you want to know more about occupier's responsibilities, you can simply google Geneva Conventions +occupation and you will find lots of info on this.
