Our interview with Israeli historian Ilan Pappé on Gaza, Israel and the West

Israeli historian Ilan Pappé has seen his book 'The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine' reissued in France after a French publisher pulled it from shelves. He told us that it fits with a broader political climate that limits freedom of expression, both across Europe and in Israel...

The wonderful Ilan Pappe! I can't help but love him. He's so calming, apart from being one the greatest historians of our time.

[@Barbara-x9s]

Beautiful man ❤

[@zakaouissi2917]

Great human being, full of decency and morals. Thank you professor Pappe!

[@boysiedent6149]

Yes he might be a very great human being. However at the end of the day he is merely a distractor for the Crimes 😊 Against Humanity - committed by the larger majority in his country against the People of Palestine.

[@shimos6308]

Man worthy of respect

[@alwayshumble8817]

This is an amazing scholar. I listen to all his lectures and also Gideon Levy. So much clarity in their lectures.

Primo Levy, in one of his books, tells the story of a man who struggles and shouts at the moment of being incarcerated in a forced labor camp: "You are mistaken! I am innocent!" The SS officer said to him: "But you are a Jew?" And the man replies: "Yes! But I'm not like the others!" Some will have understood the analogy with Ilan Pappe. There have always been Jews like him: members of a judenraat, kapos and other collaborators.

[@John-cg1ex]

A typical Zionist reply; demonize the messenger. The fact is Israel misuses the memory of the shoa and has put a target on the back of Jews everywhere.

[@user-qm8cm1dn2v]

As an Israeli and a Jew I respect Ilan Pappe for presenting true historical facts. I do feel, however, that his conclusive thoughts about Israel are extreme and they don't differ from the mindset of many Arab nations who believe that Israel should not exist. People of all races and ethnic groups have the right to exist and that includes the Jews and Palestinians. People should stop the hatred and move from hatred towards peace and compassion. People should learn to endure and pay off their karma and not use violence to resolve conflicts, but instead Compassion, forgiveness and humility. Then our world will regain sanity.

[@curaticac5391]

People, as human beings, have all the "rights to exist", but not to live on land arbitrarily appropriated and stollen from other people. _De facto_ Israel exists but _de jure_ this entity is illegitimate by all moral, ethical and even international law standards. Israel was created on terror and has lived on theft, brutal oppression and terror ever since. Israel can be defined succinctly as Jewish rapacity + chauvinism + disdain of all goyim. In a single word, "Jewish supremacy".

Bible-based patriarchal capitalism is dying fast, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. We have to grow up sometime and spit out this toxic text once and for all.

[@OllieCLARKE-rl3bu]

Did Jesus not speak out against the system. What are you talking about😂

[@rukk_tx5285]

I know about much more toxic books, thinking about one in particular... Bible was always open to interpretacion and hermeneutics. It is a Treasure.

[@37Dionysos]

@@rukk_tx5285 What book has proven more hurtful than The Bible? (It dwarfs even Hitler's "Mein Kampf"). Before modern secularism The Bible was "open to interpretation" until you got it "wrong" acc. to authorities, and they burned you alive.

"There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not." -- Arab Princeton Professor, Philip Hitti, before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry in Jerusalem in 1946. "We [Palestinians] were never an independent state in history, we were part of an Arab state and an Islamic state.” -- Palestinian Hamas Foreign Minister Mahmoud Zahhar (quoted in The Economist, February 2, 2008) If Palestine were an Arab state, at any point in recorded history, why was there no mention of them? Because there never was an Arab Palestinian nation, nor any nation called Palestine, ever. In 1964 Yasser Arafat visited Moscow, USSR. While there, the Soviet KGB (secret service) developed a strategy for him. Arafat would be the leader of a new organization named PLO, Palestinian liberation organization. The KGB recommended that the Arabs create a new identity for themselves that would called Palestinian.

Your hasbara is not hasbaring anymore! But cute try to cherry pick historic events to a historian in the caliber of Pappè 🤣

[@JeffLance-df9sx]

He is a consummate liar. He doesn't believe in facts; he only believes in how you feel about facts. And if facts do not fit his feelings, he changes the facts. Historian indeed.

Pappe is not Israeli historian, he is not citizen of Israel. Please, stop deceiving your listeners.
