Edward Said interview (1994)

Edward Said surveys the situation in the Middle East, heavily criticizes Yasser Arafat's decision-making, advocates for a new generation of Palestinian leaders, and defines Israel's role as an occupying power within the conflict.

[@mouradcohen2058]

*you play Minecraft why you jump to philosophy* *Orientalism is the opposite of what you say. Orientalism criticizes Arabs and exaggerates/distorts differences of Arab peoples and cultures as compared to that of Europe* Talking about Europeans they needed immigrants for labor to buid the countries and use them at the frontline in wars but once those immigrants grew in numbers they are now unwanted. *If Europe is not old and has good fertility rate why since the beginning they opened the gate begging for immigrants to come to work ?* let alone centuries of conquering nations to steal their resources and knowledge.

Great respect to Dr Edward Said. That being said, I am here to pay more respect to the interviewer, because compared to Piers Morgan, this man is a gentleman who actually allows his guest to talk and express. Piers has the habit of cutting short when the guest is just about to make the most important point and does not allow an answer. Piers Morgan can and should learn from him.

​@@rai2423 I don't agree with that at all. There are as many if not more great thinkers than ever before. The only difference being that now they are harder to find in the fog. Use Google scholar to search for whatever topic you can imagine and you'll find a wealth of academic papers with renowned modern thinkers/scholars at the helm. You just won't find it by chance with anything run by an algorithm, as the algorithms are geared towards entertainment, as the majority of media has been for the longest time. And the majority won't be actively listening to academics. As it has always been.

[@faisalmir1383]

Israel never intended for a two state solution. Knesset members have stated this time and again. Israel doesn’t even admit to it being an oppressive power. You can’t deny the major sticking point and then agree to two states.

[@rai2423]

Israel never wanted a two state solution. They always wanted all the land.

[@nadasuleman1725]

Unfortunately that is not possible with Zionism. To build an ‘ethno state’ on a land that has historically been home for numerous religions and ethnicities, is never feasible. It will never be safe because it’s creation was made possible by displacing and massacring a native population off their land. The Palestinians will never stop resisting their occupation, the injustices and oppression being inflicted upon them will only breed more resistance fighters and create more bloodshed. Zionism needs to be dismantled, the apartheid regime must take accountability for its crimes, and international law needs to be respected and upheld. The right of return, as affirmed by the UN, needs to be granted to the millions of displaced Palestinians. Only then, will one secular state be possible. A state with equal rights and freedoms for all. That is how you create co-existence.

[@azads.t8633]

From the late Yasin until today! We have been crying for many years over the massacre of Diriasin and Kafrqasem. 100 to 200 Palestinians were massacred in Diriyasin and 48 in Kafr Qasim. Compared to today's war, these numbers are not huge! Is humanity moving forward or backward in terms of cruelty and violence? Weapons are becoming more destructive day by day and human lives are losing more and more value. Is this the result of Nietzsche's famous statement about God? Or is the debate still about what kind of worship of God is, contrary to Nietzsche's view, life? Or that selfish people have hidden God in the basement of their minds and, by claiming God for themselves, are taking the human race to the slaughterhouse? Or does the story have nothing to do with God? Murder and brutality have always challenged optimism about the nature of humanity. A new type of pessimism is emerging with regard to human nature. In my opinion, pessimism towards human nature can make the world more tolerable, because it lowers the level of expectations towards it! Expecting mercy, compassion, fairness, justice and morality from him over all his fellow human beings apparently seems more like stupidity and how stupid God has made me!

Charlie is such a rude host. I've never seen him act so without manners. HE'S interrupting his guest. HE'S talking over his guest. HE'S constantly contradicting his guest. He very seldom allows Mr Said to make a point and to acknowledge that he has made a point. Is it because Charlie is a Jew?

[@nadasuleman1725]

It is because he is a ZIONIST. We need to make a clear distinction between Jewish people and Zionists. Jewish people who practice their religion know that Zionism is a contradiction to their beliefs and a horrific, extremist ideology that was born and bred in Europe by an atheist man and propped up by anti-Semitic Christians.
