That's one of the fundamental problems isn't it? Palestinians can't be given a viable state but nor can they be incorporated into Israel as citizens in a binational state. Israel would have them doomed to a state-less oppressed condition until one day (israel hopes) they dwindle out of existence.

Take heed, and be not of them that see and yet deny. - from Bahá'u'lláh's second tablet to Ottoman ruler Ali Pasha You will see how the world is upset with internal conflict, and many lands are dyed in human blood, - nay the earth is kneaded with gore. The flame of war is so ablaze that such terrible struggle finds no parallel in the war records of any of the middle or recent ages. Heads have become like grains and the war like mill stones, - nay even worse. Flourishing lands are ruined, cities completely wrecked and thriving towns annihilated. Fathers have lost their sons, sons are made fatherless, and mothers have shed tears of blood over the death of their youthful sons. Children are made orphan, women are helpless, and the world of humanity is forced backward in all respects. The wailing cry of fatherless children is raised abroad, and mothers’ pathetic lamentation reaches the high heaven. *The source of all these catastrophes is racial fanaticism, patriotic fanaticism, religious fanaticism and political fanaticism. The source of these fanaticisms is ancient imitations, religious imitations, racial imitations, patriotic imitations, and political imitations.* As long as following such imitations persists, the very foundation of humanity is wrecked and the world of man is in great jeopardy. - Abdu’l-Bahá, from a letter to Martha Root written in 1920

O Lord, verily, I invoke Thee in this Supreme Threshold, under the wing of the gloomy nights; pray to Thee with throbbing heart and flowing tears, imploring Thee, supplicating between Thy hands, and cry: O my Lord, verily the fire of battles is raging in the valleys, hills and streams, and the conflagration of war is burning even under the seas and high in the air, destroying and devastating. The earth is enveloped by its own fires and the sea is encompassed by its storms, thunderbolts and floods. O Lord, the souls are stifling, the death rattle is in their throats, the earth quakes, and has become so small that even the birds are frightened in their nests and the animals terrified in their lairs and caves. O my Lord, remove the veil, scatter this dense cloud on the horizon, extinguish these fires, subdue this flood, in order to stanch the bloodshed as compassion to the widows and mercy to the orphans, that these hurricanes may cease, the thunderbolts be extinguished, the torrents quelled, the land become visible, the souls find composure and the breasts be dilated. And we will thank Thee for Thy abundant favor, O Thou dear! O Thou forgiver! - ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

A two state solution is what Robert E Lee was fighting for. Government mandated ethnostates aren't recipes for justice. Do the ethnically English, ethnically Irish, or ethnically Scottish all have a right to an ethnostate? No. And because those three nations I cited are actually democratic republics that strive for greater equality, in 2024 all of these nations had government executives who were not of the historical ethnicity linked to the geographic space. Ilan Pappé's understanding of the realities of the delusion of the two state solution is spot on. To bring it back to Robert E. Lee. Black Americans suffered brutality for centuries due to state sanctioned terror but they were not given their own nation state to right this wrong. The US Constitution's 14th Amendment grants racial equality. Israel, on the other hand, doesn't even have a constitution because they don't want to have to put their apartheid system on blast.

It’s disingenuous to think Isreal could have only done prisoner swap and no response after Oct 7. That’s not realistic at all.

[@PersonOfNote]

Why do you think this? I hear the question “how do you think Israel should have responded to October 7th?” Often and it’s funny to me because NOBODY on either side seems to be able to give a proper answer to this. IMO once the attack had started, Israel had a right to defend its land and its borders (I happen to believe Israel purposely let its guard down knowing something was gonna happen, but I also like to argue in facts and that’s not something I can say for sure so we’ll ignore it for now). As I said, once the attacks started Israel had every right in its power to eliminate the threat however it seemed fit. Once that threat had been properly disposed of, Israel needed to reinforce the Gaza borders properly (as it had always done before that) and started negotiating the release of the hostages. Once that was complete, Israel, the most powerful military in the Middle East and one of the most technologically advanced militaries in the world should have deployed out special forces units into Qatar and Gaza to eliminate Hamas Leadership while minimizing civilian casualties. Once this operation was complete, you make peace with the new government that comes out of Gaza and the West Bank, and you give them their state while slowly building peaceful relations with the Palestinians. This will not be an easy process and there will be many challenges along the way. IMO Israel does not want peace and they never have. They are always looking for a pretext to war and when it comes they take full advantage of it. They don’t care about the hostages, they don’t care about Palestinians, they just want to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians of the land and have their greater Israel.

Ilan Papa The only thing that can be agreed with you is that Eli was present in the conversation.

[@eleanordoran4576]

Brilliant!

[@blakejohnson1264]

The mental gymnastics that are done by Pappe in this interview (and always) are astonishing. He acts as if the Palestinians are just innocent victims who are pragmatic and willing to live peacefully with or alongside Jews. He deflects blame from them every time and exercises extreme delusion.

[@JBrix86]

Secular, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Palestinians lived together relatively peacefully for 100's of years.

[@blakejohnson1264]

@@JBrix86 This is false, there was only peace when Jews were in full submission to the Islamists and often treated at second class citizens. The Muslims also didn’t care much when they were occupied by other Muslims, they only cared about Jews occupying them. Muslims and The Quran are anti-Semitic so it’s not a shocker…

[@sh25098]

Ilan pape is rarely interviewed in zionists platforms..so it is a shame that eli never pushed back more strongly on pape's ideas.

[@giftchiposipho8967]

@sh25098.What examples of push backs would you have asked Ilan Pape

[@ethanjance]

Why is he focused only on the Arabs who have been displaced and not the Jews? Arabs have 22 countries where they are the majority. Why is there an issue with one Jewish state? A 2 state solution will be the only possible path towards a peaceful resolution here. One state solution will just make Jews second and third class citizens of the world again (at best), or genocided (at worst).​@@giftchiposipho8967

[@shareebauld5956]

Ummmm... because Pape is a distinguished academic with decades of research behind him. Nothing to push back on

[@SuppyParky]

​@@shareebauld5956 distinguished is not quite the word to describe Pappe...

[@arthurjones3131]

What do you expect? Eli just said he’s for a two state solution!!

[@Msladybug2626]

Ilan Pappe warms my heart ❤ I find him to be a pivotal figure, a true humanitarian.

[@moniruzzamankhan8218]

Had Ilan born a few hundred years ago, he would be treated as a prophet.

[@JohnTreacy-ix3wr]

I would respectfully suggest that the Northern Ireland (fragile) peace process (Good Friday Agreement) could provide a template for a One State Solution.

[@StaubZuStaub]

In that situation there was an actual wish for peace, Hamas literally want supremacy over both countries and have Palestinian civilians in a literal death grip. I don't see a way out without full intervention by a neutral power. It's likely that Isreal can be talked down from settlements if said neutral power can take over ensuring Hamas' removal.

[@JohnTreacy-ix3wr]

@@StaubZuStaub So Hamas are the evil stumbling black to peace? This despite the fact in 2017 Hamas changed it's charter to make clear they were not a threat to Judaism and that they were prepared to negotiate a peace settlement based on 1967 borders. Face facts it is the evil Nazis Government led by Adolf Netanyahu that is the real problem here. In the past few months they have slaughtered over 40 000 Palestinians. They have hold up to 10 000 Palestinian hostages. They have raped and sexually abused Palestinian children they have kidnapped. They are systematically stealing the West Bank. I could go on listing the evil Zionist atrocities but by now you should get the point.

[@GraziellaCurreliSculpteur]

Encouraging conversation !

[@eyalstatia]

why even to give this professional hater a platform?

[@joelleschachter2867]

I really appreciate Dr Pape but he is dreaming noway the Jewish people will agree to live in peace in Israel especially now time have changed so many Israëli I know don't even have empathy for the killed maimed orphaned children of gaza the opposite they agree to the genocide no matter what It is unbelievable unbelievable

[@aya3769]

They will come to acknowledge that accepting each other with respect and on an equal footing beats fighting and killing

[@aya3769]

Congrats Eli. You let your guest speak and asked meaningful questions.

[@strodo7013]

Absolutely admire Ilan Pappe. However, I do believe the two state solution is possible, and should be considered by him more. Even if it's a compromised solution, will give time to heal old wounds. On the other hand, it could enhance the polarizing effect we already see on the extreme right in both camps.

[@yatziv18]

It is a wrong narrative to say that Jews are not a nation and only a religion. I believe that is the crux of his mistake. He said religious or cultural Jews. Which is it? Ilan is not religious. Would he reject the claim that he is a Jew? I understand his mistake now. Thx Eli.

[@lyubitelliubitel2365]

I think he is an israeli. Istaelis is a nation, jews are not, since there is very little in common between American non religions Jews and non-religious Jews from other lands be it Russian, Ethiopian, Arab, etc. What would unite them is Judaism (religion) since there is no common culture, language, etc. What still unites them is that their ancestors were Jews, but it is a past history.

[@ethanjance]

Well put. I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@Danny310563]

wrong....read Invention of the Jewish people by Shlomo Sand.

[@yatziv18]

​@Danny310563 I prefer to read the books of the Jews instead of a person who is commenting on them. The Jews throughout history considered themselves a separate nation. Sand is a scholar of history, Im a scholar of the Jews.

[@yatziv18]

​@@lyubitelliubitel2365That is the point. According to you and Ilan, if one doesn't hold by the ideology of Judaism then those people are not Jews. Yet we find that even those Jews who are not practice being a Jew [Judaism] are still identified and identify as being Jews. This means it is not the ideology that is the identiy of the people but the common history and background. That is the nation. Jews have a common land, Jews have a common culture, Jews have a common language. If you are not aware of those things, it seems that the lacking is with you and not the Jews peoplehood.

[@shtolni]

You should have him debate Professor Benny Morris so Benny can show how Pape bends the facts to fits his anti-Israel narrative.

[@SammyAbby-es8iz]

great coverage thank you

[@MooMooManist]

Islamist apologism on display here. The democratic world is being assaulted by a number of bad actors who want to see it fail. Those bad actors have ideologiclaly nothing in common except their desire to bring down the post-WW2 international order. How can I take Pappé seriously when he doesn't mention this strategic aim by those bad actors? Why did he not mention the funding of Hamas by Iran? Does he really believe that equality is important for Hamas and for Palestinians? They don't care about equality - they want Jews and Israel removed from that land. Why is it that Palestinians want all of the land between the river and the sea? Why should we be ok with their demand? Post-WW2 Europe saw many countries lose territory to which they had historical claims. Should we give legitimacy to those who want to their territories returned? Conflict would erupt once again in Europe. The solution for people to have better lives is not how much territory they have, but the kind of governance that they have. Democracy, equality under the law, liberalism, free markets. As for the claim about "coexistence" between the different groups under ottoman rule, that is ridiculous. Those groups didn't enjoy equal treatment by the ottomans. It was a tenuous order, at best.

[@jazura2]

He talks about the trauma of October 7th and his followers say it didn't happen or that Israel did it! Something doesn't add up with this brilliant historian.

[@Warhammer416]

Fool. It's Palestinians land. It's that fuc*ING simple

[@AymenBoukthir-cn8fw]

Why don't you mention the proping up of Hamas by Netanyahu and his coalition which preceeded the funding of Hamas by Iran?

[@MooMooManist]

@@AymenBoukthir-cn8fwThe Arab world is full of conspiracy theories such as the one you mentioned. You think Netanyahu wanted Oct 7 to happen? Islamism and jihadism is a major problem in the Arab world. Sort out your shit.

[@ofir41092]

So many lies, this guy is known as the lier historian, he even explained that his work is not to show the truth but to show his audiology and to change the minds of the readers not by reality but by lying Eli, why didnt you confront him about the lies that he told?

Eli, don't invite pop artists if you're unable to expose them

good people

[@moonants]

Yes, Gaza is densely populated, but not "one of the most densely populated areas in the world" It does not even make the list. There are at least 5 Israeli cities that are more densely populated. Why do these guys feel the need to say this?

[@voland6846]

With around 2 million Palestinians on approximately 365 square km of land, Gaza does indeed have one of the world's highest population densities

[@moonants]

@@voland6846 Gaza - about 13000 people per square mile. - Less than half of no 88 (bottom of the list). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_proper_by_population_density

[@moonants]

@@voland6846 No, they say that for emotional manipulation. If they were honest, they would just stop at "densely" or even "very densely populated". Typical of these pro Palestine historians like Finkelstilskin who bend and massage facts to tell history like a story, with a predetermined bias and narrative.

[@moonants]

@@voland6846 Less dense than Soweto in South Africa, and most buildings there are single storey. Alexandra Township in South Africa - 67000 per square mile - 5x more dense than GAZA.

Where Gaza does rank around top in the world is foreign aid received per capita.

[@arturofernandez2330]

Good discussion. Thanks.

[@magicteen1]

So many holes in Ilan Pappé arguments. 1. At 23:00, talks about how two-state solution is impractical, but then promotes one-state solution, which he acknowledges may be impractical but supports on ideological grounds. 2. Repeatedly states that only solution is one that “undoes historical wrongs.” By that logic I suppose he would support all whites in the US packing their bags and giving it back to Native Americans. Or actually I suppose he’d support a re-drawing of the entire world map. (Not to mention that the analogy doesn’t even work, since Jews are indigenous to Israel, unlike whites who are not indigenous to the US). 3. Compares Jewish state to Christian or Muslim state. Well, if a third of the Muslim or Christian populations were wiped out in the past century, you’re damn right I would support them having their own state. Not to mention that Judaism is certainly more than just a religion (although it admittedly may not be a nationality). 4. PLO charter states that Palestine is “the homeland of the Arab Palestinian people.” This doesn’t exactly bode well with his fantasy about PLO wanting a single, democratic state. Also, PLO is basically irrelevant at this point. Hamas is exponentially more popular, and anyone with a > room temperature IQ knows that they don’t support equality. Yet he takes no stance on Hamas’s place in a future state. What a hypocrite. I could go on and on… Seems pretty obvious to me that Ilan Pappé is at best a third-rate historian, as Prof. Benny Morris has called him.

[@NadeemAhmed-qc3ko]
