A family member was a student at Am U of Beirut in 2006. When Israel bombed the Beirut Airport, as her family, we requested she evacuate LB. Along with other AUB students she successfully evacuated upon a barge, to Cyprus. She eventually returned to Beirut later that summer and has continued to return every year. Our entire family has been changed politically by the 2006 War. I continue to educate myself and am very grateful for this interview, your work and dedication.T Y

[@AlasdairILoveOxford]

Three generations of my family including myself have visited Palestine, going back to the 1930s. From an early age, I have been well educated about the nakba and about the 'legacy' of what has been done in the name of the Israeli state. As this is a work account, I won't express what I actually feel about all this but the question which I can never even begin to get any answers for, is how do politicians in the USA and Europe, always stand by Israel, no matter what it has done or what it is currently doing. I listen to various interviewees about the geopolitical wider Middle East region interests but I still can never understand why Europe and more especially the USA choose to be so involved.

[@AlasdairILoveOxford]

Pamela, all of what you said, is true for 1947 but that wasn't what my question was pointing to. My question is why- in spite of all the geopolitical hatred caused and why in spite of Israel 's utter disregard for the UN- does the USA & Europe still go out of their way now for the occupation state of Israel? We gain nothing but trouble and the rage of the Muslim world and meanwhile Palestinians are abandoned. It all makes a mockery of our so called liberal values order too.

[@ChannelMath]

I think I mostly understand the stated (and some unstated) reasons, but I really think the bottom line is that we don't have very good reasons for doing so. A lot of it is ideological (bias), effective lobbying by Israel, and just plain arrogance on our part. I think the most sensible reason is that we are maintaining a "balance of power", which is often a euphemism meaning "constant strife with no clear winner". A lot of great power policies are designed to do this: prevent rivals from amassing enough power to challenge us. The oil in the ME is so important, and since we cannot totally control it, we opted for the "balance of power" by backing a smaller power, Israel, just as we backed Iraq against Iran, Saudi Arabia against Iraq, sometimes the Kurds, etc. In the 50s we were doing fine in the ME and we were sanguine about Israel, but as the post-colonial Arab states grew into their natural oil-based power, we supported Israel as a counterweight/distraction for the Arab population

[@AlasdairILoveOxford]

@@ChannelMath - Hi. Yes, that's probably about the jist of it. However, doing so, makes Europe & the USA stand out as betraying the basic obvious fact that the people of Palestine have been abandoned and all the so called talk about western values becomes clearly hypocritical. This betrayal is seen by muslim nations worldwide and it fosters a sense of anti western powers animosity. Every era has had some kind of geopolitical empires competing with each other- such is human nature with its propensity to war. I wonder how long will the current USA geopolitical hegemony last.

[@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat]

@@M1187-t6b They did, it's called Palestine. Do you think the Palestinians had the land when they had zero control or rule over it?

[@JJfromJ]

​​@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoatThat the Palestinians had no control over the land nor a State is due to the fact that Britain had a mandate over the place. This mandate was given by the UN in order for the Palestinians to begin a state and to demarcate its borders as per a promise made by the allies, to the Arabs, in WW1 to garner support for their campaign against the Ottomans. Then the Brits made a promise of the same land to the Zionist movement in the Balfour declaration. Typical double dealing by an imperialist colonialist state (in this case the two faced Brits). The west have been, are and always will be the snakes their history has proved them to be. Do not expect any help from them that would matter. They do help the Palestinians from time to time only to soothe their collective "liberal"consciences, such as it is.

Read the Balfour Declaration (quoted from Jewish Virtual Library) to see the terms under which the British allowed jews to settle in Palestine: " it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine" which terms have been violated DAILY since 1947-48 by Israel. As one jew's interpretation of the Balfour Declaration observed, the story of the camel and the tent applies here: "First the camel puts his foot in the tent, then the next thing you know, the WHOLE camel is in the tent". How true !!!!!!!!!!!!! Hamas was formed in 1987. Israel has been killing innocent civilians since 1947. Between 1947-1987 over 50,000 civilians were killed by the Israeli occupation force. Hamas was the result of 40 years of brutal invasion and genocide. Today the Israelis are blaming Hamas to justify their genocide. It's not about Hamas - it never was.

[@albertlevert2988]

The full text of the Balfour has one more sentence after the one you quote: “or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country”. It is not clear to me what he really meant. Explanations welcome.

[@YinYangDPW]

@@albertlevert2988 The part I quoted seems very clear to me - what was meant by the part you mentioned is not clear to me either - I guess one would have to ask Arthur James Balfour - but I don't think it can be used to justify the apartheid genocide by Israel against the Palestinians since 1947-48, perhaps before, as leadership and rank and file of Israel believes. There is much history where jews and muslims/arabs have co-existed peacefully for generations - even historical episodes where the muslims/arabs protected the jews who therefore owe their lives to this assisstance. It is the advent of zionism that has destroyed this relationship.- even a significant group of Ultra-Orthodox jews are anti-zionism and claim the current state of Israel is the "synagogue of satan"

[@albertlevert2988]

@@YinYangDPW the way I understand the second part, which isn’t clear to both of us, is that the creation of a homeland for the Jews in Palestine, as suggested by Balfour, shouldn’t be a pretext to discriminate against the Jews in other countries.

Rothschild thought having a homeland was a good idea and Balfour agreed. British arrogance at its finest. The poor in Palestine had no real say in it. We were given the lie that were few who lived in that area. However, there was a thriving community and population there. After being given the land without much discussion the now Israelites over time continued to steal more land from the indigenous peoples. The Brits and later the US colluded with the zionists to be allowed to take more land whilst creating a ghetto in Gaza. Today in the West Bank, the Israelites are building thousands of houses on stolen land. Most in the UN deemed this action unlawful. But what did we in the west do? Nothing because might is right plus’s plenty of money to bribe those who were gangsters.😮

[@malin5468]

One commenter pointed out that Adriaan Reland’ 1695 detailed description of Palestine and its peoples mentions only Jews and Christians with only a few Bedouin Arabs. By 1923 census 90% of the population was Arab, but I don’t understand how such a demographic shift took place.

[@TheHeavensFellen]

You neglected to add in that Edmond James Rothschild said but i dont want the land at the consequence of the wandering Arab, and thats what they are sans the few that were allowed to stay, but in camps or whats described as an open air prison of Gaza. Yes the Rothschilds essentially created the land of historically modern Israel but it took a lot more time and others efforts to push the native people aside

[@malin5468]

Replying to myself here: I got the date of Reland ‘s publications wrong. Antiquitates Sacrae veterum Hebraeorum was published in 1708 and Palestina ex monumentis veteribus illustrata in 1714. One commenter on a KZbin video claims that Jews and Christians are recorded by Reland, but not Muslims. If that is correct, it poses a problem for those claiming Arab ownership of the land. However it should be pointed out that that Reland never visited Palestine. The Wikipedia Demographic History of Palestine presents a very different picture, with Muslims the great majority and only a small number of Jews. This article is based on the work of Sergio Della Pergola and seems to be authoritative. The table in the article shows that from Medieval times to 1800 the Jews were a tiny proportion of the population. By 1890 they were 10 percent and by 1914 the had increased to about 18 percent. By 1931 they had increased to almost 25 percent. This increase was largely due to immigration. Certain KZbin commenters have argued that the increase in Arab population from 1922 to 1931 was also the result of immigration, but their recorded numbers of immigrants are much lower than the Jews.

Fascinating, so far as it goes. I am curious as to why if Dr. Khalidi were going to talk about this issue in this way, he left out a “remnants of Ottoman Empire” discussion about internationally recognized lands - and also the 1940 Land Act. 38:00. As to the American Indian parallel, I am Metacom’s heir. There are still active issues about Providence (1676-86) historically relevant to some type of two-minute comparison, if one is going to talk about it. Never mind that the displays of nobody apparently home above the first floor in Providence is similar to that in NYC. For at least 20 years. Want video of both? Or are first hand accounts of only the PC “everybody home” variety allowed? As with most events held by Brown, perched atop the visibly unheated-on-cold-days College Hill, I am baffled what to think about anything that comes from there. This discussion is anomalous, has a few gaps, but is professionally diplomatic in its approach to definitions and historical views. On balance (I am no fan of much in Providence) thank you for this.

But they weren't perfect representation. Their greatest flaw was ignoring how zionism was threatening the fellahin before it threatened the Palestinian elite, before the balfour declaration. The zionists were kicking peasants off their land in the 1900s. But ramblings from rural palestine were ignored in Jaffa, Haifa and Jerusalem until they were threatened by zionism.

Well, guess what, the underdogs won.

The peleset (part of the "sea people", called like that by the egyptians since Tutmosis III), or philistines, weren't semitic (in linguistic terms), they started a semitization process along with the peoples that inhabited what we call Caanan. Actually, there wasn´t ANY hebrew identity prior to the 6th century BC, plus THERE'S NO historiographic evidence of the existence of King David or Solomon (who most likely were some canaanite leaders) or even of the "first temple". The "hebrews" (called like that by the greeks and later by the romans) were a LATE assimilation product of peoples from Judá, Israel, Samaria and other minor kingdoms who didnt even practiced judaism, they had their pantheon of monolatry almost to the end of the previous era (BC). Those kingdoms weren´t even independent since the Herodian dinasty (Roman Empire puppets), and wiped out and its inhabitants GENOCIDED (almost completely, for they were persecuted even in Cyprus) in the third roman-judaic war led by the emperor Hadrian in the second century AD. Most of the few left converted to zoroastrism, and later on into islam. The judaism left changed into rabbi judaism and started to attract new parishioners, otherwise, it would've gotten extinct, so many, many OTHER PEOPLES (some of them not even of semite origin) started to pratice the old religion of the ONCE CALLED hebrews, and THIS WAS 1,500 YEARS AGO. Afterwards, in the north of the Black Sea, along the Danube and the Rhine, it comes A VERY INTENSIVE AND INTENTIONAL MIXING with slavic and germanic peoples through the middle ages, up to the point of leaving almost no trace of their former SEMITIC "RACIAL" PHENOTYPE, and no, the so called ashkenazim arent related to the khazarians (turkic), ONLY their political elite converted to judaism. But, anyway, somehow, these EUROPEANS who have been practicing judaism think their ancestral "homeland" is in the territory called Palestine (by the romans because of the peleset/pulasati/sea peoples/philistine people that inhabited, for example, Gaza) for 2,000 years. One of these days I shall go Tel-Aviv University to have my DNA tested (they're pretty obsessed with genetic AND RACIAL studies, I can´t figure out why) in order to make explicit my heritage down to the Australopithecus afarensis Lucy, the chimpanzee-human last common ancestor, in Ethiopia, and I shall demand the current inhabitants of that country the return OF MY LAND, OF MY "ANCESTRAL HOMELAND" and I'll have the genetic studies to prove it. I WANT MY LAND BACK, THEY TOOK IT FROM MY ANCESTORS! I'M INDIGENOUS TO ETHIOPIA (artificial name that comes from the Greek), IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE, YOU'RE DISCRIMINATING ME, YOU'RE BEING RACIST AGAINST ME! It doesn't matter if I don´t look like the current INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, that's "because they are mixed", and I... I've stayed PURE, yes, PURE, so I have much more right than them to inhabit that territory. I WANT IT BACK!​

They are considered refugees because they were ethnically cleansed by the Israelis in 1948 and have been prevented from returning by the Israelis constantly despite calls by the UN for them to return and there being a UN resolution (194) enshrining that they have a right to return.

[@YourMajesty143]

Hey Avocado, maybe instead of regurgitating the Hasbara that's been fed to you, you actually do the research. Of course, PaIestine had leadership. For instance, before Arafat, the President was Hajj Amin al-Husseini, former chairman of the Arab Higher Committee, and the Prime Minister was Ahmed Hilmi Pasha. In fact, PaIestine enjoyed an autonomous state under the reign of Zaher Al-Omar, who established a port town and one of the most successful capitals in Acre, whose #1 export at the time was cotton - a dependable resource for Europe at the time, especially France. At the peak of his power in 1774, his rule extended from Beirut to Gaza, and extended up into Jabil Amil of Lebanon and out to Jabul Ajlun of Jordan. With regards to 4th gen refugees, this is not exclusive to PaIestine. 4th generation refugees can be applied to the descendants of Holo caust survivors and the descendants of Japanese internment camp survivors. There are also 4th generation Native American Conservation refugees. Like PaIestinians, these are viewed as internal refugees. Also, like PaIestinians, Native Americans who have been scattered & displaced away from their tribal lands of origin, have yet to be resettled back in their lands. Hence, why refugee status does not have an expiration date. Aid is afforded to various refugees from multiple countries until they can be restored back to their homes. So if you have a problem with this Ms. Aviagra, then give back the stolen land you thieving Zios took from PaIestinians!

The idea that American superpower was always behind Israel's victories against the Arabs is one that helps a lot of Arab writers feel better about themselves. I'd guess. Because it takes credit away from Israeli's ingenuity, industriousness, and courage to save their country and to establish themselves as a force to be reckon with in the Middle East, which they did. Egypt, Syria, Jordan also received great help from foreign powers, the Soviet Union, mainly. Can't ignore that.

[@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat]

It also ignores that before the Arabs tried to JUMP Israel in the Yom Kippur War, Israel was ranked 24th in the list of nations receiving US International Aid. Massive US Military-Industrial support of Israel was a REACTION to Arab aggression. This is the pattern throughout the conflict. The Arab powers make some TERRIBLE violent decision that backfires MASSIVELY and the Israelis end up becoming stronger, more legitimate, and more right wing. After 100 years of that cycle now the Arabs act like they're the victims, because they've left so many scars on Israel it's practically one big undefeatable angry scab.

The weirdest thing about attempting to dismiss the legitimacy of Jewish nationalism by slapping it with the "settler colonialism" label is the inconsistency of saying that a right of return applies for Palestinians but not for Jews. I hope that someday both sides will come to accept the legitimacy of the other side's claim to the land and then perhaps some kind of compromise can be reached.

The difference is that European Jews do not have any substantive ancestry from the Middle East so it is an absurdity to claim they are 'returning to their motherland'. 80% of European Jews have zero matrilineal Middle Eastern ancestry, they are matrilineally indigenous Europeans. What you are suggesting is equivalent to saying that Irish Catholics have a right to 'return' to Bethlehem because that's where Jesus was born. European Jews are from Europe, not from the Middle East this is evidenced by the fact that many have blonde hair, blue eyes, and lily white skin. That is not a phenotype that is seen in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean people, it is a phenotype that is exclusively found in European populations. There is no 'right of return' for Europeans, because there was no exile to begin with. The exile is a myth and there is zero evidence to support it. Read Schlomo Sand's The Invention of the Jewish people. There is zero evidence supporting either the Exodus or the Exile. No serious person would argue : We have a right to return to our 'motherland', because it was promised to us by a mythological guy who went to the top of a mountain and heard voices from a bronze aged sky wizard/real estate agent.

[@weinsteinme]

@@javajava8856 1) About half of Israeli Jews are Mizrachi, descendants of Jews from the Arab/Muslim world. 2) Even among Ashkenazi Jews, "Studies.... show significant amounts of shared Middle Eastern ancestry." (from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Jews citing studies that require a subscription) 3) Pretty rare for Ashkenazi Jews to have blond hair and blue eyes, but, are you saying that Ashkenazi Jews with blond hair and blue eyes should be excluded from the Jewish right of return but Jews with more traditional Middle Eastern features (dark hair, Middle Eastern nose) are okay? That strikes me as ridiculous and Israel's use of Hitler's rule of one Jewish grandparent seems smarter, especially given Israel's central purpose as a refuge from persecution and genocide. Re: your analogy to Irish Catholics: Are Irish Catholics facing potential genocide because they are Irish Catholics? Is there a movement among Irish Catholics to return to Bethlehem? Keep in mind the origins of Zionism. Zionism was a response to the exclusion and persecution of Jews, which culminated in the Nazi genocide that wiped out about two-thirds of Europe's Jews. Re: "bronze aged sky wizard": One doesn't need to be religious or take the Bible literally to be aware of the Jewish people's historic origin in that region.
