That is something people don't understand. If you lose wars you lose territory. That was the norm then and should be now. 5:45 Germany can consider itself lucky that the country still exists today the way it does. Just as Palestine can be lucky to exist after losing the 1967 war.

This is something that existed since the first wars fought in the name of Islam. In Islam, there are three ways of getting new slaves: 1. Prisoner of war that did not convert to Islam. 2. Slave market 3. When two slaves that you own have a child According to the Quran, when a prisoner of war is bought as a slave and they are female, they become a sex slave as well: "those who guard their chastity [5] except with their wives or those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession, for then they are free from blame [6]" (Quran 23:5-6) Islam permits slavery today, but the UN forced many Muslim countries to abolish slavery in the 20th century after the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

Realistically, this problem persists because the Arab countries surrounding Israel want it to persist. The reasons may be more complex than: "it's always good to have a bogeyman to distract from our oppression of our population," but, like many other countries in the past, they could have been more accepting of their "brethren" displaced from Israel & helped them to start new lives. That wasn't part of the plan, the Arab countries forced the Palestinians to live in refugee camps, they denied them the opportunity to start new lives & apparently all for the purpose of keeping Jews & Israel as "the bogeyman."

[@paulamarsh1]

[@bidhrohi12]

There's so much you're protected from knowing in the US. Netanyahu as recently as 2019 said it was Israel's strategy to bolster Hamas against the PLO to use the chaos to take Palestinian land. Israel's government has a radical religious fanatical ambition of taking all of the West Bank and Gaza, by ethnic cleansing. I have no sympathy for the surrounding Arab countries, but why is it their fault that the survivors of a Holocaust use rhetoric akin to what Hitler used to take another land that isn't theirs?

[@LadyMaven]

While all that is true, let's go back to the source, and that source is Islamic Jew hatred, straight out of their book.

I'm jewish and Israeli and first of all I would like to thank you and your team for speaking up, so thank you all. 1:34 Note: After the war of 1947, any Arab who chose to stay in Israel land got a citizenship, aka equal rights. Those who didn't want to stay, moved to the neighboring countries (who started the war on the Jews as a part of the very old trend of ethnic cleansing all Jews), and most got citizenship (which means they are not refugees! but are still claimed to be refugees by some organizations to this day, which is unheard of). Those who didn't chose either, had to live in the land under military, until this was also removed from Gaza Strip and (the terror organization) Hamas was democratically elected. Three facts in addition to that for more context for those who care to learn: 1. 'Palestine': derives from ancient Greek 'Philistia'. Philistines are the biblical Enemies of the Israelites, which tried to do what? ethnically cleanse the Jews (you can read all about 'the timeline of the name Palestine' in wikipedia). 2. 'Apartheid' claims: Israel is the only democratic state in the entire Middle East - where all of us, jews muslims christians druze can live as equals (yoseph haddad

Quote: "but history has shown that facts do not matter to ignorant people who love believing what they already believe. you're trying to convince people who think masturbating is the same as having real sex that they are really not having sex." In my perspective, this belittles and sexually shames "these people". Not only is it disrespectful but it is also dehumanizing, as you and I both don't even know who "these people" are personally. I truly believe we need to take responsibility for the way we communicate, in all forms.

[@tigress1girl]

@@dagduesund5175 Humanity will only be able to access Truth by accepting we can only be aware of the “Relative Truth”. We thought the world was flat, for example, until discovered otherwise. I find it fascinating you chose a quote about believing in god, because respectfully I believe that as much as the belief in a god can be for some (and not all) part of the solution, it can also be harmful and part of the problem we face today. Specifically, in some religious circles and schoolings, there's a lack of dialogue about scripts that are being held as sacred. Therefore, as history has shown time and time again, there are many people who committed crimes against humanity while claiming that their doings are "God's will". I think that in this conversation, as it's important to recognize some specific scripts can heal, it's also important to shine a light on the dark places, where specific scripts can actually do harm. The Jewish people being called “the People of the Book” also speak about keeping the dialogue alive, which we do also with continuous writings and interpretations. I’d like to add one very known phrase (and principle) in the Jewish culture which is: “דֶּרֶךְ אֶרֶץ קָדְמָה לַתּוֹרָה”. The first two words ‘דֶּרֶךְ אֶרֶץ’ (‘Derech Eretz’) literal translation ‘The way of the Land’, and the meaning of the full phrase translates to “Proper universal ethical behavior precedes the Torah.” No matter which religion, it’s a matter of the sake of humanity itself to be able to criticize specific harmful scripts, even if people hold them sacred, and with that comes healing a lot of the hate and violence we can find. If we look at the antisemitism that arrives from some Islamic people and groups, it’s important to note how it in fact has roots in the Quran. One example: "Thou wilt surely find the most hostile of men to the believers are the Jews and the idolaters." (5:85) = Jews are hostile to Muslims. Another example: "And He brought down those of the People of the Book who supported them from their fortresses and cast terror in their hearts; some you slew, some you made captive. And He bequeathed upon you their lands, their habitations, and their possessions, and a land you never trod. God is powerful over everything." (33:26) = An indication of the battles against the Jews, and a divine authorization to kill them. There is a concept in Judaism of ‘Tikkun Olam’ (תִּיקּוּן עוֹלָם = 'repairing of the world'), which refers to various forms of action intended to repair, heal and improve the world; to the pursuit of universal justice which based on the idea that "Jews bear responsibility not only for their own moral, spiritual, and material welfare, but also for the welfare of society at large.” Humanity has a total need - spiritual, emotional, psychological, physical, logical need - of connection to something bigger than ourselves (be it a Justice, God, Collective etc), finding meaning and belonging. This journey can be beautifully sacred as much as hopelessly devastating. I believe truth can be accessible with empathetic, engaging and knowledgeable communication; through encouragement of curiosity, of questions in the dialogue itself. And I choose to have faith in humanity. I maintain faith in humanity, including my own self. It doesn’t mean I don’t have boundaries, priorities, etc. And it doesn’t mean it comes easy to me, somedays it feels impossible. Yet without it, personally and with all seriousness, I have no reason to live. Rephrasing that with hope and love, it is my cherished reason to live, and pursue life that is worthy of living.

People didn’t move across borders because their homes were being taken by an occupational force, they had moved because an arbitrary line, fuelled by communal violence had been cut across the land they already had inhabited. Both events have scarred those it had effected, and these scars shall take generations before they begin to fade.

I guess I just find his argument pretty flawed and so I find it frustrating to hear people validate it in the comments. Sure, it sounds good with a laugh track and a few visuals but it's telling that he failed to mention countries like Rhodesia, Uganda or Somaliland that were former British colonies (just as so called Israel was under British mandated Palestine) before they were decolonised. I agree, people in these comments don't have a clue and need to read more. You know how Americans love to talk about why the west needs to back Israel because they're the underdog outlier in the Middle East? People used to talk about Rhodesia in a similar way until they went rogue. Israel is going down the same path to rogue statehood in my opinion. Anyway, I used to like Bill. His centre left politics always had a pragmatic approach that I appreciated. It's just too bad he's become a zionazi mouthpiece.

True. Though even Bill messed up some of this info. For instance, he didn't mention that JORDAN was specifically set aside for Arab Muslims. THAT is their country. Not Israel. Not Palestine. And there was NOT genocide "on both sides" re: Israel and Arab Muslims-- the Jews/Israelis have NEVER practiced ethnic cleansing, whereas Islam DEMANDS ethnic cleansing and Muslims have obliged. And the Jews did NOT force all or most Muslims to leave Palestine when Israel was established. These Arabs were told to leave by surrounding ARAB LEADERSHIP so that the Arabs could then attack Israel and kick the Jews out. The Jews did NOT "kick them out."

[@Salah.Ad-Din]

@@cw4623 You don't get to rewrite history. The United Nations planned a partition for Israel and Palestine between 1947-48. Over 3/4 of a million Palestinians have been displaced In 1948 by the Israelis and thousands were massacred, so yes it is ethnic cleansing. Look up the definition. Look up the definition. You claim that the Arabs left by order of Arab leaders so that the soldiers could fight, which means they did the opposite of using human shields. Commendable! What else would a leader do when their people are being driven out by armies of savages? Would that leader ask them to stay and get killed? If Islam demands ethnic cleansing why has it spread across ethnicities from Indonesia to Guinea, with the statement of Prophet Muhammad saying no non-Arab is superior to an Arab or an Arab to a non-Arab except by status of character, yet Jews gatekeep their ethnoreligion by saying Jews can only be Jews if their mother was a Jew, and despise the goyim?

[@MorganTheva]

@@cw4623 A lot of false equivalency is used in this monologue but it's is funny. Maher has had a success with political shows because he's intelligent but when it comes to religion and especially Islam, his bias shows. I am shocked at how much of a propogandist he's become for Israel recently and never thought he'd brush off 2024 mass civilian deaths (war of retribution) so casually just because they're Palestinian / Muslims. He's definitely anti-Islam and views Christianity and Judaism in a more favorable light but is a Catholic turned atheist. If he calls for a priest on his deathbed, I would not be shocked. Until his early teens, he was unaware that his mother, whose family was from Hungary, was Jewish. Owing to his disagreement with the Catholic Church's doctrine about birth control, Maher's father stopped taking Maher and his sister to Catholic Mass when Maher was thirteen. Palestinian leadership has always been poor but in the last few decades, Israeli intelligence has played them very successfully, decimating PLO in favour of Hamas, in the hopes that they could be controlled and used to obtain the end result that is now very achievable, scattering a people as they were once scattered / an act that can be legally described as genocide. I'm with the college kids, the maimed children and mother who've lost their babies due to Israel's bombings because a group of Hamas / Iran tools rampaged, raped and murdered in the name of Palestine. The CIA propped up Pinochet, Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi and Manuel Noriega. Netanyahu did much the same in the case of Hamas. For years, the Qatari government had been sending millions of dollars a month into the Gaza Strip - money that helped prop up the Hamas government there. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel not only tolerated those payments, he had encouraged them.

My ancestors were Swabian Germans who migrated to Hungary in the mid 1800's and lived together as Germans but spoke Hungarian outside the home for generations. After WWII Russia had possession of Hungary and an Ethnic persecution began of the Germans. In total, 239,000 Swabian Germans were forced to leave Hungary. It is estimated that 11,000 ethnic Germans civilians lost their lives during the expulsions. This has been the way of the world for nearly the entire history of humanity.

[@WyattTheGuyatt]

I am very sorry your ancestors and other Swabians had to go through that ordeal. No one should be persecuted for their culture, ethnicity, or language, and just because this type of persecution is ubiquitous throughout history doesn’t mean it’s inevitable and doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be fought. I think that what Bill is arguing comes dangerously close to “might makes right.” Just because things happen often doesn’t mean they’re okay or should be considered acceptable. It’s true that both Israelis and Palestinians have harmed each other, but two wrongs do not make a right. It is important to consider the scale of harm done on both sides during these conflicts, especially in recent times. For example, in this current conflict, 1400 Israelis were killed, and in response 20400 Gazans were killed. Or, in 2018 and 2019, when 200 or so Palestinians, most of whom were nonviolently protesting, were killed by the IDF, even though no Israelis were killed. I think that in recent years, Israel has shown a trend of responding disproportionately to conflicts in ways that engender more hatred and mistrust toward the Israeli government within the occupied Palestinian territories. Palestinians live under constant surveillance and restriction from the outside world, and they face forced eviction, brutalization, murder, and a lack of economic opportunity. They are not in a position to work toward peace if they are constantly struggling to get food on the table or to keep their homes from becoming part of settlements. In order to truly move toward peace, I think that the Israeli government should show Palestinians that it is operating in good faith and truly wants an end to the violence and freedom on both sides. An important first step in this direction is to implement a ceasefire, which is what the vast majority of the American people and pro-Palestinian activists support. Finally, I would like to make it clear that I apply these standards to all conflicts, not just this one. if I had been alive during your ancestors’ time, I would have advocated against their persecution, as I do now against the persecution of Palestinians, and as I will in the future whenever the rights of an oppressed minority are infringed upon.

While there were sporadic pogroms against Jews during this time, and certainly discriminatory laws that were passed once Zionist Jews made it clear that they had no loyalty or allegiance to the country they lived and sought refuge in, until the chose to immigrate to Israel, the idea that the exodus of Jews from Arab countries is similar to the Palestinian Nakbah is not only ridiculous, it's not an assertion that ISRAELI historians take seriously, as I can cite if you try to desperately respond to this with more lies and half-truths.

The Poles in the region were themselves displaced before they settled there. Palestinians don’t seem to wish to move on. They are stuck in their grievance mentality. Muslims all over the world are cheering them on. Why can’t they learn? Israel has tried to let Palestinians participate in their highly successful country, but they are not interested. What’s Israel to do faced with such ignorance?

Bill as most telling the story of Israel simply LIE. Jews coming to Israel from the beginning intended to take all of Palestine and started to do so. Before the 1948 war they began to violanty ethnically cleanse Palestine of Palestinians. There were horrific masacres where whole towns and villages very murdered, tortured, raped , children put into evens . It was so horrific that Palestinians began to run and were killed if they tried to come back. The Arab rulers did not want to go to war with Israel but the flood of refugees made it impossible to ignore they came to PROTECT the Palestinians. Arab armies never went into the Jewish regions, only tried to protect their neighbors from getting ethnically cleansed. In 1967 Israel attacked Egypt not the other way around and even attacked US Naval ship USS Liberty trying to sink it and kill all Americans on board so that the US would not know about Israeli intentions to attack. Nearly all of the story that Israel has been putting out there is a lie. Israel NEVER wanted peace with the Palestinians . The goal was always to kick all of them out. Israel broke all of international law and pretended to talk about peace only in the 70s where by then they took most of the land. Even during the supposed peacemakers like Peres and Rabin settlers were allowed to expand and make Palestinian state not possible. In Oslo they fcked the Palestinians. Palestinians agreed to recognizing Israel while Israelis promised to stop the settlers. Well guess what Israel never stopped to build settlements. Words don't count, actions do . Also just look up Netanyahu's party's Likud charter. From the river to the sea and even the map of Eretz Israel . Biblical fantasy of Israel that wants to take all of Jordan, Lebanon, much of Syria, part of Egypt, a little bit of Turkey , 40% of Iraq and Saudi Arabia. That's the Zionist fantasy they truly believe they are better, the chosen people. Bill simply lies or just knows a version of propaganda that suits him . Most people don't know the truth. Go watch Ilan Pappe , a renowned jewish historian .
