The more I listen, the more I call bs. Zionists have planned brutal ethnic cleansing since 1917. It started with Israeli terrorism. And Zionism was always a brutal colonization plan that was implemented by dishonesty & bribery. I've never heard any hint of introspection or responsibility from them. Without a doubt, Israelis arrogance, self rightiousness, entitlement, is unsurpassed. (Plus, AIPAC has negatively impacted my life and freedoms in a profound way. Like the mafia.) I was neutral about Israel. But that's because I knew nothing. I can't really think of anything I like anymore. 🤢 🤕 🤮. And they ARE NOT AMERICAS FRIEND. Israel is a friend to no one. They're "extra special," and no one is more rightious or suffers more than them. And we all should know they are worth more than most... right? After 200,000 dead...we still must bow down to their 1200 each and everytime we have a drop of empathy for someone else. Disgusting. Show me a nice Israeli! Show me!

As a leftist (well, to a point anyway), I truly believe if more right-wing people like Daryl Cooper existed, I'd become one myself. He's about as measured on almost every topic as it gets, comes off sympathetic to all sides of the political spectrum, and he understands the basic motives of people in general. His nuanced views on that Jim Jones podcast showed he understood people who want socialism, but also understands how socialism can bring about horrible things as well. That kind of take is rare to be honest, as usually people only go for one side or the other and demonize the other side. America would do far better if we had more Daryl Coopers.

The British could never wipe out the I.R.A. and the more heavy handed they were to the Catholic population of Northern Ireland the less likely they were going to end the I.R.A. Same with French occupied Algiers. Algiers is the closest comparison to the I/P situation.

[@catbeara]

As an Irish person, yup yup. We learned in our history classes that most Irish people weren't actually in favour of leaving the Common Wealth. And that the 1916 Rising was really unpopular at the time. And then the British executed those involved, thereby making martyrs of them and turning Irish sentiment against the British. And when the majority of the general populace hates you, they become a bit ungovernable. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@blehbleheh]

Not really, the problem with western framing is this isn't some European colonizer vs indigenous locals conflict. Both sides are dominated by factions which view this entire land as rightfully theirs, for both nationalistic and religious reasons. The British-IRA analogy holds but only to an extent: the IRA and Britain were fighting over Northern Ireland, whereas the Israelis and Palestinians are fighting over the entire land they both inhabit. This is akin to both the British and Irish Catholics fighting over the entirety of the landmass of Ireland and the British Isles. For us and our misadventures in Iraq and Afghanistan, those are far away lands and only one of several national security concerns. For Israel, the primary focus of their national security is all the adversaries which surround it, and who, let's be honest, have made it very clear they wish to wipe them off the map. If countries around yours don't think you should exist, then you will go all the way to fight them. Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were vicious, does it justify the carpet bombings of their territories and the enormous level of civilian casualties? No, but the allies in their view saw regimes so hellbent on conquest it was enough to convince them they had to go to the extreme to fight them. War sucks, but it's as old as humanity itself, and if you are convinced you're in a fight for your survival, everything else is secondary.

[@JR-gc5ef]

A poor analogy. The British never wiped out the IRA as it would have been illegal under human rights and the law of armed conflict.The majority were also British (NI) even if they professed otherwise and we knew who they were, and where they lived. Indeed, we also knew their fathers, sons, mothers and brothers - many of whom all touted on them to the State.

[@sabrinashahab795]

British were not looking for ethnic cleansing , Israel is

[@josephfisher426]

Algiers wasn't part of France, though... I don't think Israeli leadership has acted in good faith all along, but I think that most people supporting Palestine are not coming to the table with a real-world political solution. The rest of the Arab world is not significantly different in its complicity with this situation than Israel is. For Gaza in particular, its status when it was ruled by Egypt was not better than it has been when Israel controlled the borders.

[@Chris-ey8zf]

Palestinians are genetically identical to Mizrahi Jews, the people who never left the region in the 'diaspora'. They are genetically the same, meaning they may be Jews themselves. Meanwhile, the 2nd most spoken language in Israel is Russian, because the Ashkenazi Jews largely come from Russia. Khazars were Turks who converted to Judaism en-masse in the middle ages. They are from the Russia/Crimea/Baltic region. They also immigrated to France and Germany. Studies have been done on the subject, but any link to Ashkenazi Jews with Khazars is immediately screamed down as anti-semitic. Nobody is allowed to say that without being branded a racist, as if being historically accurate is racism. Palestinians are not considered a tribe of Israel and get systematically murdered even though they are genetically identical to Jews from the region. Ashkenazi Jews are the original Zionists, are called a tribe of Israel, and they pretend Khazars didn't exist. Put that in your bowl and smoke it.

[@flashrob01]

This info needs to be more widely shared. According to Shlomo Sand (Israeli author and professor), less than 20-30% of those who claim to be Jews actually have Jewish blood (I.e. traceable to the lineage of the 12 tribes of David). According to Sand, the rest were converts to the religion from generations past who later adopted the bloodline/ ethnicity as well.

There is one single principle that Mr. Cooper emphasized which condenses the entire problem. Prior to 1948, Palestine was a land whose inhabitants, of whom the vast majority were Arab, lived in relative peace - Christians, Jews, and Muslims. The U.N., U.S. and Britain made promises to the Arab world supporting a state for Palestinians and a state for Israel. As Mr. Cooper said, six or seven decades of militaristic Zionist occupation and expansionism and the corresponding killing and displacement of the Palestinians has to be accounted for, or no solution will ever be reached. America itself is facing a reckoning in our own political ideologies. We will either rise to the solution or continue to create unnecessary suffering.

[@bsahmed1]

The Europeans have always had a ‘Jewish Problem’ throughout their history. They tried various types of isolation and extermination including ghetto establishments, pogroms, and the holocaust. Muslims never had. Jews lived freely in Palestine, Istanbul, Baghdad, Cairo, Morocco and other places for centuries. They actually flourished in Muslim Spain. Then in the late 19th centuries ideas like religious separation, liberal assimilation, socialism, communism, and others emerged. Zionism was their latest version. The same religious fanatics that persecuted the Jews throughout history began supporting Zionism. They don’t want the Jews to live amongst them. Zionists led by Theodore Hertzel held their First Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland in 1897 and later British foreign secretary Balfoure made his infamous declaration in 1917, both with the same objective of solving this ‘Jewish Problem. That is how this colonial, imperial and now apartheid enterprise began. The lesson that must be learned from the holocaust is never again against anyone and not just against the Jews. The commercialization of holocaust MUST stop.

There are only a few historical series that I've done this with and Cooper's is definitely up there with the best there is.

Thank Daryl. This was awesome ☺️

[@LagmasterB]

It’s really really good of you guys to expose people to Darryl. I’ve been listening to him for 7 years, I’ve been part of his substack since day 1. I think the best lesson from Darryl is to be critical and attempt to understand that none of these things happen in a vacuum. The Hamas attacks are part of a continuum of circumstances, events and realities. Media and politicians allow extremists to have the loudest voice and allow the minuscule extremist minority speak for the majority. How strange that the 99% that Darryl speaks of at the end, have no voice. Thanks Krystal and Saagar for fighting the good fight.

What a gem of an interview. Precise, factual. Sadly many more Palestinians will die before the world starts seeing the brutal occupation of Palestine by Israel and demand a stop to this horror. There is a glimmer of hope as the youth in the US and around the world see what's happening and raise their voices in protest. Thanks for this interview.

[@sunnyla2835]

Really appreciate this guy’s nuanced, objective analysis of this tragic situation. Thanks for having him on! Question tho, wasn’t there antwo state solution offered at end of last war that Israel accepted and Palestine didn’t? And instead attacked?

[@mariolemaux9119]

sort of yes, but after isreal did the original purge of plestians from the land they offered to keep it there, and of course the palestianians didnt accept and wanted their homes back so they fought, then isreal took even more land. and the palestinians said they would accept the old offer and isreal said no, the new offer is even less land now. which again was unacceptable to the people who had just los their land and so they faught again. its that each time the palestinians defend themselves isreal takes more and offers a worse deal and then the palestians go and fight for the old deal. I mean now adays even the terrorist organization of hamas has changed their charter to accept a deal for the 67 borders and share the land with isreal. and the last isreali prime minister who was willing to negociate not assasinated by someone with close ties to netenyahu during the negociations. since netenyanhu and his extremist group took power they have had no interest in deals, they was the whole thing. just look at what they are doing in the west bank right now even though there is no hamas in the west bank and no rockets come from there.

[@nickgman3592]

Yea thats what makes this so tough. I guess its been proposed multiple times and palestinians turned it down and instead started wars the following day.

[@holyworrier]

No. Israel has never brought forth a proposal that didn’t include pushing Palestinians into unconnected cantons and being under military surveillance. They’ve never brought forward a plan that wasn’t humiliating.

I've been a martyrmade ubscriber for a couple of years... Daryl's podcast is the most important podcast to me... The guy researches like a bloodhound and he rights and rewrites and rewrites and rewrites and tosses it all away and starts again... And he God bless him. Apologizes profusely in his in his notes to us saying he sorry for not getting this next podcast out quicker or etc... And we all just fucking smirk and smile and just like... Bro, you're going to drop a six and a half hour podcast of masters level historical research . Into humans... The best, most heart caring few hours I've spent listening to anything in my life.... It's about communism in the 20th century and what man does to a society when all sense of the transcendent and metaphysical is eradicated from the society and is forbidden to be acknowledged or discussed... His six part 35 hour series on Jim Jones and the leftist movements in the '60s and '70s is something I did not think I was going to enjoy but I couldn't stop listening to it... v Daryl has to capacity to write a Steve Cotton level biography of Hitler or Paul Pott or Mal., and if he spent enough time. Ripping those psychopaths lives apart. He's going to show us how their actions are not as abnormal as we pretend to think they are.... Knocks down all those pillars we put up to say that we're better than these people who commit horrific crimes., different from us. They're no different from any other part of humanity... That's something we have to remember and no one does it better than dinner.. So all of you who even glance at this full-throated passionate unpaid advertisements for Daryl.. subscribe to hit substack and just set it and forget it. You're going. It's worth a minimum of 4x what he's charging... ... Do it...

These are our people. That was exactly my feeling when I served with a humanitarian agency in the Occupied Territory in the early 2000s. That is why, for right or wrong, the Holocaust hurts me more than the Rwandan or Cambodian genocides. The Germans, the Israelis to me, as a Western European, are my people and their crimes, are, culturally, my crimes.

[@jcutburth]

To add what Darryl Cooper said is to give a rough estimate of why Israel is fearful of the brutal attacks over the years: - [ ] - During the Second Intifada, which started in 2000 and lasted until around 2005, there were over **140 suicide attacks**. - [ ] - Before the Second Intifada, during the 1990s, there were several dozen attacks. - [ ] In the 7-years of Suicide Bombings, this is approximately a bombing every one to two weeks of **“Horrific Slaughter of the Innocent”** for 7 years! If you tally these numbers, you'll find that *Israel experienced somewhere around 200 suicide bombings* during this period. This is a rough conservative estimate, and the actual number might be slightly higher. Each bombing had a varying number of casualties, with *many attacks on school busses,* *weddings, *open air markets* and *hotels* causing the *death of over 1,000+ Palestinian, Christian, Jewish Israeli children*. So, when you *hear* the *“Radicalized Hamas Apologists”* say *“Palestinian Concentration Camps”* take some time to *pray for the souls of the suicide bombers and at least a thousand prayers for the dead Israel children…*
