The reason I emphasized her Arab/Muslim origin was to make people see that the Jews are being attacked and blamed mainly by Muslims and their supporters just for being Jews. I guess that Nadia and other pro Palestinians would never protest against Muslim countries or their citizens in which people are really getting murdered on purpose, not as casualties as happens in Gaza, but on purpose, such as in Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan etc. Their own Muslim leaders have murdered their own citizens! But it's easy to protest against Jews, who have only one Jewish country, and who are threatened daily for the past 100 years in Israel with terror attacks. Read some history!

It is important to have a good perspective. Hamas is terrible but Hamas is a product and a consequence of the Apartheid. As long as there is apartheid in Gaza and Palestine, the problem will continue to exist even without Hamas. However, how would behave Israel without Hamas? We know: in West-Bank in this year already hundreds of Palestinians has been killed. Since 2008, and before 8 Oct-2023, up to 6800 Palestinians were killed by Israel (data from OCHA: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs).

[@goodnessthentruth]

Israel was divided by Britain into two countries, one for Arabs, one for Jews. The Arabs got the bigger half but still left their homes to attack Israel with their 4 Arab neighbors. Israel won the war and took more land for protection. Arab countries kicked the Jews out or killed them, and also let the Palestinian refugees remain so Israel could look bad to the world. Gaza was self-ruling, and used all its money to create underground tunnels and little infrastructure. Gaza’s schools teach kids to hate Jews. Hamas was elected in a platform of destroying Israel. MEANWHILE, Arabs living in Israel have always been treated like full citizens🤔

I remember sitting in a class about the Soviet Central Asian republics about 33 years ago. We got off topic and started talking about Israel and Palestine. The professor asked me what would I do to solve the conflict. I said if I had that answer I'd be teaching the class while sitting next to my Nobel Peace Prize. Right now, all I can see happening is a cease fire from both Israel and Hamas, release any hostages who are still alive, and go back to the negotiation table. Israel doesn't want a one state solution with Palestinians, the Palestinians don't want to share the territory with the Jews in a two state solution, and one of Hamas' key objectives in the destruction of Israel. It's also partially devolved into a proxy way between the US and Iran through military aid. The best solution now might be a truth and reconciliation process like South Africa did with UN Peacekeepers coming in like in Rwanda and former Yugoslavia. But they have to be willing to talk to each first. It's a mess.

Despite Nadia Ali’s first rate performance in her role as the pro Palestinian voice of calm and reason, I feel an obligation to point out, not only how disingenuous her words are, but more importantly, how little respect she has for herself. Forfeiting her dignity willingly, not only represents an overt act of personal submission, but is also symbolic of the true definition of being a Muslim in service to Allah. This master-servant relationship manifests itself as her now being nothing more than a handmaiden, in service to the anarchy loving agendas of anonymous foreign and domestic powers. That Muslim women are mere chattels, for men to do with what they may, so will be the fate of this PhD student, once her fake portrayal as the Palestinian who cares about all students, safe spaces, etc., has been exposed. Her servitude is quite evident, in that she answers every question with just another version of the same stock answers she’s memorized, in her effort to convince us that her fellow pro Palestinian students condone what’s happening on Columbia’s campus. Anyone, who hasn’t had their mind reconfigured to the Marxist channel, knows that pro Palestinian protestors do not sympathize with the Jewish students, and are elated that Jews are being targeted, because of their religion, and feeling the pain from a temporary loss of their freedom, feeling isolated from society. What this PhD student is inadvertently doing, is making a powerful statement about how insignificant the Arabs in Gaza are, to the Islamist powers in Iran, which are among some of the powers she foolishly represents. She is not doing the people of Gaza, especially the women, any favors. In what universe would anyone who values freedoms, in all its forms, think that a centuries old conflict should be used to shut down an educational institution and the bridges? There’s only one answer that makes perfect sense, and that is when the Middle East conflict is Iran’s version of the Trojan horse, in order to test the waters, to see if it’s possible to tip the scales of democracy over the edge, and in the ensuing chaos, an ISIS type of totalitarian regime will immediately move in to fill the void? That’s how world wars are born; first vilify the Jews, light the spark of antisemitism everywhere, and then once the Jews (“the conscience of the world”, according to Hitler) are out of the way, it will be child’s play to get Europe to fall.

@@catherinedarby4512 I see, I don't think that's unreasonable. How about June 6th? I dont think all the people there were looting or attaching police, most were not. But how many of the thousands of people there stopped the few idiots? Any big group is going to have a handfull of hatefull morons...does not mean eveeyone protesting agrres with them.

this young man has a good heart. honest enough to admit islamaphobia and bad actors on his side of the issue are indeed present, which is rarely discussed in mainstream media.

It’s all about the geno..cide going on , Muslim , jaw & Christian lived together in peace as one for hundreds of years in Palestine Dont let them change the subject , we all should support stoping the mass killing and free 🍉

@@Sam23606 i agree. Jews were never prevented from returning to their "ancestral homeland". they lived side by side with arab muslims and christians for many years in peace. it wasn't until zionism was invented that tensions rose.

What does Malachi 3:3 mean? ESV He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness.

Nice to know that a few aren't complete hypocrites.

[@Emiliano_Toledo]

I mean, it's beyond hypocrisy, of him felling not safe, when the protest is about children getting murdered by American tax dollars It's like a German not felling safe using a German flag on his shirt in USA in 1940s. There was no pride wielding a German flag while Jews were getting killed, the same as using the David flag today, because innocents are getting killed in name of religion... Once again....
