TEDxRamallah - Khaled Al Sabawi - Keeping Palestine Cool: A Different Kind of Underground Movement

[@bluesdriver6699]

What a GREAT Palestinian entrepreneur!!! And a brilliant Communicator to boot! He almost made me feel proud to live in "canada" even as a Québécois !

[@AaliyaKhan]

I wonder who could be disliking this. Great work! Kudos to the underground movement. Proud to be with truth, proud to be with Palestine.

[@aharon59]

I can honestly say , as an Israeli and a Jew that this man is wonderful and what he is doing is wonderful and whatever you say about the situation and what we do to each other, the truth is that any effort to improve the envronmental situation, on either side, preferably on both, is truly a blessed one. In the end we need to learn to live together and treat each other well and love and use the land well so that our children will live in peace and prosperity in a clean country.

[@batlady2]

Imagine this young Palestinian running for prime minister of Canada or if he was an American, running for president of the US. This is a Palestinian who really really makes me proud. All Palestinians make me proud but this one stands out even more.

[@slaughterthedaises]

Found him through Emel magazine. Truly inspirational...

[@Rulaization]

Excellent, informative, and inspiring in content and in delivery. Great idea that grows from the palestinian connection with the land; seeing it anew; a land for many prosperous and creative generations to come. Thank you TEDx and thank you Mr. Sabawi.

[@hypnotic26]

God bless this young man, SO PROUD to be palestinian, thank you Khaled for your effort and brilliant speech!

[@nurulnovianti8299]

It is one of great speech that i encountered in Tedtalk. Hope to see many brigh palestinian people in the future. Khaled is such a gem.

[@FullFrameMediaVideos]

Wow. Thank you for that inspirational talk.

[@deeepooor]

I'm inspired....another guy could work in any other country but u chosed to come back home & develop ur country...Palestinians & Arabs r Proud of u Respect from Jordan

[@myronjoshua]

The comments about NGO recruiters (foreign aid) and other challenges the Palestinian economy faces (besides the challenge of Occupation) was particularly enlightening.

[@bulldwang1931]

Using Geo-thermal energy as an energy source and employment endeavour is a great idea which should be well supported.

[@archssm87]

one of the most important talks I've heard in a long time! a must watch. How to improve our countries economy while helping save the world from what looks like a down hill situation if people keep their irresponsible act on treating our earth. Proud to be Palestinian.

[@nesikhaNofret]

The beginning questions are so true....lol I think some people just don't understand until you are actually there and you have experienced it.

[@nokiamv183]

Alhamdulillah May Allah swt grant you, guide you and protect you. Ameen I am very proud of you! MashaAllah. Dua from Germany!

[@bulldwang1931]

"What is za purpose of your visit to Izrael?" etc is asked to every single person travelling to Israel, no matter where they are from, no matter what passport they are travelling on, no matter where they are going to, no matter whether they are Jewish or not. This is not only and specifically for any particular group of people.

[@tabassumkhan7498]

He did not say that they ask only to a specific group of people but he said that traveling to Palestinian borders tend to be more interrogative and of course being a Muslim helps a lot!

[@certifiedrawinfo1824]

Same question is asked in many countries

[@tami199177]

I'd like to thank TEDx organization for giving such opportunities to disclose our thoughts and beliefs. And yes; we Palestinians are educated although the obstacles we still able to make our dreams come true:). Thank you Khaled Al Sabawi; for your brilliant thoughts.. Palestine will be saved as long as we are Palestine's lovers :)

[@Astrostevo]

Green state solution. Admirable, intelligent, non-violent and shareable. A win win for everyone here I think and a great story and character and idea. Thankyou. Shared. Would love to have an update on how this has been going since.

[@SAMIHASSANKAWAS]

Bravo! Well done! Inspiring, revolutionary, and smartly patriotic! Allah yehmik. Dr. Sami from Lebanon

[@alajnabiya]

Fantastic. I wish his company great success, and I hope to see more efforts to make Palestine "greener."

[@dunakal]

May Allah protect and bless u. الله يكثر من امثالك و يجعلك قدوة لأطفالنا

[@firebars3182]

Im not surprised Jordan purchased this geo thermal system.Jordan is a progressive country with incredibly few resources. Its remarkable how Jordan has sustained a higher quality of life for Jordanians in such complex geographic conditions .

[@noudzii]

SO PROUD.. KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP

[@wa3dosha]

Im in love with this guy

[@bulldwang1931]

This is the welcoming question that is asked by Israeli border security to anyone that travels to Israel. It is not specifically asked to people travelling to Palestinian territories.

[@mmamer545]

فلسطين 💝

[@TamerAlsultanJournalist]

القدس عاصمة فلسطين

[@shambluegenes]

مع إنه موضوع الإنغيليزي هاد ما إله لزمة -- شو مال العربي يعني؟ بس ملهم فعلا. بالتوفيق، لأنه هيك حتنبني فلسطين إن شاء الله.

[@norikawano6037]

lsrael is a really innovative country in being sustainable and with this guy's innovate thinking and other palestinians. if both parties said f&*k politics , and worked together.

[@MAKtube_]

this is really a nice video , and a great presenter , it's really worth sharing , but i have a small question !! IF the temperature of the 2 meter beneath layer of ground was 30 Celsius in SUMMER ? in such areas like the Gulf ? KSA ? what are the benefits of Geothermal Energy ??

[@straightshooterable]

@jondummitt Strange observation. In fact, a "robe" or gallebeya is the best attire for people to wear given the climate in the region. A western suit can be extremely uncomfortable. Indeed, an Arab man dressed in a well tailored gallebeya with a vest (siderri) and head dress is most imposing and demonstrates that he knows who he is and is proud of it.

[@ellatayh4104]

Respect

[@kurichka]

His imitation of the Israeli accent is sooo funny!! xD Now, getting serious, if Palestine imports 97% of their energy, and I imagine most of it from Israel... I cross fingers for not seeing an Israeli boycott for this project, because it would entail real losses for their energy companies. Well done, Khaled, I will share it with everyone I can.

[@sorealittty]

this should go to ted

[@bulldwang1931]

Energy in South Africa is becoming unaffordable for the majority of the population.

[@Afafspot]

I like this! how can I get a geothermal under my house?

[@gracet8655]

Beautiful speech.

[@SULTAN007ist]

the most absured saying I have ever seen!!!

[@TheNemoooz]

@ali1707 They might not need it in the summer, but definitely need it in the winter.

[@MsYouthgaza]

[@deemaershaid2578]

Can the Geothernal system work in Gaza?

[@glennblock1]

Fabulous!

[@mikenogozones]

Very well done

[@bulldwang1931]

"If we palestinans who were lucky enough to grow up in one of the worlds most progressive societies, recieve the best education... if we dont come back to Palestine to help out, who will?"

[@nurulnovianti8299]

Do anyone watch this in 2024?

[@TheLSDfreak]

omg!!! why does he keep on shifting away from the guy at the end!!!!

[@andy4an]

Intriguing talk. But the audience claps after really weird statements on at least four occasions. "[foreign aid undermines] our capacity to build an independent Palestinian economy" (APPLAUSE!) It's like they are just happy to hear about the issues, ever before he explains what he is doing about them.

[@ahmadalshehabi1138]

weesh ful They were clapping about "an independent Palestinian economy" as they are happy to hear that someone is working and fighting for an independent Palestinian economy

[@bulldwang1931]

Interesting - the impact of GDP. Double sides to everything.

[@samjamm101]

I actually miss the arab and muslim scientist.. Proud of you brother

[@momoz88]

@olanan2008 Made me proud of being Arab!

[@amalharb]

you are my hero :)

[@thesabature3121]

Sir , can you do that in just one percent of the whole Palestinian land !!!

[@amanybackria1032]

if we dont back to palastine to help her who will !! I love this man !!

[@worries]

@LongueTiedNoLunger This is a common fact. In any troubled place, men and women tend to have more children. You'd think itd be the other way around. Do you want me to explain it with evolutionary psychology? Scientists think its for actually for specific reasons, but they're not conscious reasons or conscious actions. It just happens.

[@winters1mgsfan]

هذا الفيام ميتكر! ان شاء الله هو سنجح

[@GordonSturrock]

The "Green State Solution" is where we should ALL be heading. All other directions lead to hate. EXCELLENT video, THANKS! Gordon Sturrock Radical Vet, for truth, justice and non-violence

[@RachelDerGolem]

People ask why Israel does what it does. If it didn’t, it would look like Syria.

Geothermal energy doesn't come from the sun...

[@frankmartens4859]

We, know, we know, the earth heats itself -- dummy

[@aharon59]

If you wanted peace with Israel you could have had it many years ago habibi, if your plan is to destroy Israel then your people will continue to suffer and you`ll have nobody to blame but yourselves. You have freedom and independence in Gaza and the P.A use it to become an advanced society instead of wasting all of your resources and ours on war making and hate mongering.......that`s the essence of what this guy is talking about in the video.

[@brownasiankid1782]

dude, jews NEVER want peace. the word "peace" is literally against what being jewish is all about. "peace" is same as :threat" to jews

[@mmustafakamal6769]

Its incredible video. May Allah almighty protect from Israel's terror

[@salemhamati]

@rachelgolem youa re absolutly correct.... such people have no value fro life and they think that the small accomplishment they make is a big deal..... what he is making fun of [jordan or Israel] are basically what made a human out of him this low life.... i agree with you all the way,..... but education is not everything.... being civilized is what he needs to learn

[@salemhamati]

@cryomerk90 لو كان عندك الرجوله الكافيه كان حطيت اسمك بدل ما تتخبى باسماء مستعاره.... على كل العلم اللي حضرتك مفكره ذره (يا خجلان ) شيء قديم و في مهندسين في الاردن (يا اردني) طبقت هذا قبل ما صاحبك يمشي.. و بعدين لو اتعلم او حتى اتثقف ما كان استهزأ بالاردن (يا اردني) و لقى امثالك تصفق له بدل ما يصفق و جهه حتى يصحى و يعرف على مين بحكي .... بس انا لعيونك عند و عدي لامنع اشكاله تفوت البلد و بالقانون.... و بعدها اخجل زي ما بدك بس هالمره رح تخجل من موقفك مش من جنسيتك اللي لازم ترفع راسك فيها...

[@dalbah2010]

I know history ... I know that there was Jews in Palestine before the Balfour Declaration, and I know that the Jews who migrated from Russia and Europe were in Russia and Europe , I hate how you Jew make it sound , there was Jews in Palestine before the Balfour Declaration , they represented 5% , after that and becoz of the English armies ,they let the Jews migrate ,they gave them power , suddenly ,now all Palestine had never been an Arab land ,it is Jews since ever ... is that amnesia or what?

[@Nevin970]

dalbah2010 being 5% of the population of a country doesn't make it their country, honey. That's like saying any other country is, say French or American simply because there's a 5% of French of Americans in that country. You're not making any sense. And no one said that Jews weren't there, but those people were Jews as in the religion not Zionists. There's a difference.

kind of rich of you to blame NGOs for causing a labour shortage.

[@99sliyuo]

The speech will not end All that I want to say do not show good manners, we know what you would like him to kill And also study it as well as our Torture of what happened in Gaza will return to you and you will see them Muslims

[@grosberg]

You are doing an amazing job, just too bad that you had to throw in the accusations against Israel and make it a political speech. you and I both know that every story has 2 sides, and when a suicide bomber is willing to use an ambulance to cross the border, everybody becomes a suspect. there is NO occupation is Ramallah or Gaza these days, Israeli is only trying to defend its borders.

[@aharon59]

Learn history sweetheart, Jews built Jerusalem, hebron, even Gaza had a jewish population long before anyone thought of calling the arabs who migrated here "palestinians". If you want to get into an argument about who came to the land and who killed people we can do that, that`s what we`ve been doing here since 1948 qnd before: a lot of good it`s done either of our people ...... if you want to build your future it`s going to have to be with the Jews as neighbours. We`re not going anywhere.

[@Strategy-lover]

u r wrong, we can't live together while u r occupying our land & killing us every day, whereas there r more than 4000 prisoners in ur jails.

[@cryomerk90]

@salemhamati لو انك فهمت كلمه وحدة من حكيو ما كان علقت. أمثالك هم سبب إستمرار التخلف في الاردن ول وطن العربي. بدل ما إنو ياخد العلم إلي حصلو بدراسة او إجتهاد و إيروح ع أميركا أو كندا أو وين ما كان، أخد علم أو رجع في للوطن العربي عشان نستفيد احنا و مش غيرنا. كلامك بخليني أخجل من كوني من نفس جنسيتك.
