What an extraordinary testimony, humility and recognition from Chris Hedges. Americans and Europeans need to watch it to see and understand the scope of our criminal colonialist wars in Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan, and not to mention our horrible legacies in China, India, the Korean Peninsula and Vietnam. Do we really have democratic values and respect for human rights, religious and cultural diversities ? Thank you the Emir Stein Center for your brilliant series!

@david hefner YES! I agree - with only one exception. The very true source is not narcissism but money. Money separates. Because the OTHER appears as someone you don't need. Money makes you think that something like a "self-made-man" is possible. More traditional societies not yet completely lost in "money" still somehow know that a "self-made-man" is impossible. Thus they are polite to each other ...

I've been following Mr. Hedges' vids for a while now. He is a very impressive man: smart, well informed, well educated, and compassionate towards others. A man of surpasing integrity. Without question, one of the more tragic aspects of my country men is their ignorance and unwillingness to embrace other cultures. Without that, there can be no understanding. No tolerance. No love. Just hatred for people they know NOTHING about. It's such a shame.

Exactly. I am so sad when I hear otherwise good people in the USA say that other people don't deserve rights because they weren't born here. I keep repeating that our "Bill of Rights" and other beliefs are meant to say how we believe all people should be treated, not just "us". Most importantly, if we make those Rights conditional we are all vulnerable to being excluded from them at some point (as the Patriot Act clearly demonstrates).

I have found that kindness, hospitality, and generosity are attributes that seem to be part of the DNA of the many Muslims I have met. As a follower of Jesus, and an American, I find that the former leads me to want to love unconditionally, but the latter numbs me with a sense of complacency. I have always enjoyed Mr. Hedges' stories, and his transparent love for justice and others. Thank you for sharing this reminder of the importance of human kindness. Salaam Wa'alechem from a Muslim loving Christ follower.

This narrative of peace and brotherly love may be artificially held in high esteem for the optimists of this world. It's a "feel good" moment that temporarily enters a human's mind to wash away the doubt we harbor for others' intention. But the reality of hegemonic domination by the christian theology of evangelical christians is a testimony to its absurdity. Be vigilant, as Sala-huddin advised. The enemy of Islam comes in different forms and with different rhetoric.

Domingo De Anda, I don't necessarily disagree with Mr. Hedges who is a chritian seminarian. In fact, he was expelled from The New York Times newspaper for assuming that his criticism of the American injustice toward its own people had a sympathetic audience and reader in USA. His reward was expulsion as a reporter from NYTimes! He has written multiple books about the societal decay in America. I am simply reminding Muslims that the reality is occupation of Moslem land by the infidels. The enemy remains in the occupied lands of West Asia. Muslims must remain vigilant. The enemy is still in our midst and intends to remain.

All religions have lovely idealism about kindness. And yet that has failed for as long as they existed. Religion = division. And division leads to violence and conflict. Always has and always will. Just because some people belonging to such belief systems perform acts of kindness does not mean it is their religion being kind. Performing acts of kindness is an empathic act regardless of religion.

Chris Hedges: my love and admiration for what you have done and continue to do can not be explained in a few lines. You are a real gem and in dark moments you shine even more .. You seem to personify that true kindness that many religions call for, but few of us truly manifest. May God bless you, in this world and the next 🙏🙏🙏

Have the elite of "European Imperialism" forgotten the meaning of "Kindness" ? A synonym of this word could be "Love", but history shows that this "Golden Principle" has never been adhered to by "onward, good European Christian soldiers" !!

We have all forgotten that humility, meekness and modesty are powerful instruments of encounter with our fellow human beings. This is not the first you Tube video that you have done that i have seen but it is the most persoal and powerful. Thank you.

This just teared me up....... I want to be able to experience the beautiful culture and love of the people in the Middle East..... Each one of us just have to stop getting swayed by our governments, who erase an entire nation, only because of what you depicted here, lack of understanding of those that are different from you..... That you don't understand or does not measure up to your habits, beliefs.... Much love and blessings to each and every Middle Eastener..... Note :when I day 'you' it's every mind who chooses to go with the beaten narrative of the others and the unknown being there dangerous.....

Thank you Mr. Hedges. Sometimes I worry if... narcissism is taking hold of you. But then you produce something like this and at a time like this... it's the sermon we need... I need. Often my greatest enemy is my own resistance to ... comply with the kindness to learn more of the language of those who insists on seeing me as "enemy".
