AMAZING INSIGHT! A MUST WATCH VERSION FOR HISTORY AS IS! NOT DISTORTED!

[@SpotterVideo]

Last Spring a video was produced at a church in Gaza City that was built over 800 years ago. The members of that congregation were celebrating Palm Sunday. There is another video on KZbin featuring the pastor of Gaza Baptist Church, who was sharing the Gospel of Christ with the people of Gaza. Why have these people been ignored by most Christians in the U.S. ? Who bombed the King David Hotel during 1946, which killed 91 people? Seventeen of those murdered were Orthodox Jews. How was the man who planned the bombing punished for the murder of 91 people? Watch the KZbin film “The Stones Cry Out”, which reveals the thousands of Christians removed from their homes in Palestine at gunpoint during 1948. Why do many Christians not know about this removal? Read the book “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine” by Israeli Historian Ilan Pape, who used official Israeli documents to reveal the removal of 1948.

[@SnowsStorm1]

Maybe we should rebuild Gaza as a un refuge for Christians fleeing persecution? The folks from Gaza can be absorbed by Muslim states to make room for the Christians of the world to have a fair presence. Would you agree.

[@rosestewart1606]

@@SnowsStorm1 of course not. This would still be ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people, and they are the descendants of the first Christians who themselves were descendants of the Canaanites and their ancestors. Any real Christian honours them for their heritage. They kept Christianity going for 400 years before it was made official and legal by the Roman Empire. They and the Muslim Palestinians preserved all of the great churches for 1600 years. There were nearly 1000 churches in 1948...today there are about 10. Everything needs to be put back the way it was when it was the Holy Land and refugees of all religions were welcome there.

[@LadyBug1967]

Roubika, and now the Armenian quarter in Jerusalem is being taken by an Australian Jew due to a tricky deal that he did with a representative of the patriarch and that representative has been disrupted and forced to leave his position and I believe forced to leave Jerusalem. Yet they discovered in ancient document that said that land would stay with the Armenian people into perpetuity and yet I haven't heard any more as to whether that document is being honored or is being ignored by the Jewish Jewish State and the Jewish Australian businessman who is a thief. There are so many Jews around the world who do business in Israel and they make millions of dollars and they get away with murder. This must stop

Professor Khalidi‘s authority on the history of Palestine is testimony of an egregious injustice, an injustice even magnified and made ever more legitimate since the lecture was given in November 2017, to the Palestinian people. Yet where is the UN now, in March 2024? What is its role, let alone its mandate for a people absolutely denied any form of self determination? This lecture illustrates the deep, apocalyptic hole dug by the 2017 Balfour Declaration. An excellent history lesson to seek a long overdue elaboration and revelation of historic facts and their subsequent political developments.

[@Nine-Signs]

Erm, while I am in agreement and appreciate this overall, at one point I had to ask myself "is Professor Rashid Khalidi living on a different planet?" when he spoke of UK Labour. I was a member of UK labour for 14 years and a voter of it for 21 years my friend, I can tell you now, only 4 of those years did the party ever honestly give much of a crap about the fate of poor brown people far away and that was during the tenure of Jeremy Corbyn who unlike the present leader would not have waited for 5 months and 30,000+ murdered civilians plus approval from US masters and donors to alter position and call for a ceasefire. The Labour party machinery today is the most UNPRINCIPLED barbaric corrupt malevolent and racist entity it has ever been in its history with various parts of its executive more resembling a UK branch of Likud. They are a party that is on record via Starmers lips as promising a continuation of Tory domestic economic and foreign policy if/when they win and Starmer has reaffirmed multiple bloody times he is an outright committed Zionist and has shown so by putting their interests before the best interest of party and nation rampantly throughout his tenure so I have absolutely no idea what kind of a fantasy land Professor Khalidi is living in to believe differently on that matter. UK Labour today is an absolute horror show.

[@microshapes]

It turns out the death toll for women and children has been recalculated by half. It’s still too many dead at the fault purely of Hamas. Since Israel was attacked and continues to be attacked including from Gaza there could not be a ceasefire. In you didn’t notice or if you have zero regard for the hostages , they still have not been released. This is in violation of the Geneva convention and Hamas has broken so many International laws it is incalculable. How can you cease fire while you are under attack? How do expect a unilateral ceasefire? Do you think Israel can have a ceasefire with itself? Maybe you ask Hamas to surrender and give back the hostages. Israel has the right to secure their borders and an obligation to protect their people from the genocidal claws of Nazi Hamas. we will never forget the lives exterminated on Oct 7 as and the horrors peaceful citizens just going About their days endured, mass rape, being slowly burned alive, beheadings, mutilations, children executed right in front of their parents. Such genocidal hatred. no terror state with a Nazi charter based on Hitler’s ideology and this is what is taught in the UNWRA schools… passing the torch of Jewish hate.

It still baffles me how and why Arabs partnered with British to fight against the Ottomans for their independence. Brits never returned someone's freedom until they are dead.

That was a very short sighted decision by all the Arab countries who suffered deeply under the European colonialism.

@@charlesayache6801 After the evacuation of Gaza in 2005; Israel have harsh, illegal military siege was imposed on Gaza made it a mass detention. Israel controls Gaza by air, sea, and land, and the tax system is not independent from the West Bank, meaning the occupied Palestinian territories are subject to a single tax system that is subject to the Israeli occupation state. Israeli warplanes and spy drones will not stop flying and reconnaissance in the skies of Gaza for a single day, intense deployment of warships off the coast of Gaza and depriving the Palestinians of extracting the gas field. What withdrawal are you talking about? The Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories since 1967, a 57-year occupation that turned into an apartheid regime. Hamas may not have recognized Israel, but the PLO did. What did you get ? Nothing. military coloniser forces and terrorist settlers attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, more 500 Palestinians were shot dead by the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank, including 100 children. There have also been attacks on Muslim and Christian holy sites by Israeli extremists. So, of course, the Palestinians resort to resistance because they see this as the only way for them to get their rights. The question here is not to dehumanize the Palestinians as it happens and call them terrorists . I think Hamas mainly attacked the Israeli military institutions and most of the people they arrested were mostly military. I do not want any civilian to be harmed by Palestinians or Israelis. what the Israeli destructive bombardment doing right now in Gaza, they slaughtered more than 36,000 civilians, wounded more than 80,000 civilians, and turned hospitals into mass graves. Hundreds of wounded and displaced people were executed and buried in cold blood. They are bombing and shelling houses and leveling them to the ground. Hundreds of families have been killed as a result of this bombing. Since the 2006 siege of Gaza, Israel has waged five wars against Gaza 2008, 2012, 2014, 2021, and 2023. they destroyed everything. There is only one path that must be imposed by the international community and that is to end the occupation and the abhorrent Israeli apartheid regime.

A crucial element that must be clarified about ownership of that land, is whether the story in the bible for which there is no concrete evidence of support should be accepted in determining ownership of the land of Palestine. What happened to possession is 9/10 of law.

[@SnowsStorm1]

If possession is 9/10th Israel possesses it.

[@SnowsStorm1]

Let's consider a hypothetical. Let's imagine that i steal your classic car. You love that car. You wanted that car. And I take it. I then hide it in a garage before another criminal steals it from me. At some point he sells that car on the cheap to a nun who uses it to do good deeds around town. She loves that car and she takes great care of that car. Then 8 years after I stole that car, that sweet elderly nun accidentally runs a red light and when they run the plate they find it is stolen. Who's car is it? Is it yours or is it the nun. The nun isn't the bad guy but she is not the rightful owner. It might be nice to help the nun but it's still hers.

[@SnowsStorm1]

@michellenorris8471 it's funny that Palestinians never cared about equal rights when dhimmi was in place, right!l? Then it was ok to deem anyone who was Christian like me or jewish as inferior? As for Palestinian rights, your rights are not extended by a neighboring country, they can only be god given rights that are secured by one's government. For there to be a Palestinian government that first requires a state and to get to that point Palestinians have to come to the table and negotiate with a REALISTIC expectation reflective of the history and after October 7th I think any deal would have to phased in over time. My guess is that the best israel will ever offer is to put Oslo back on the table and honestly I would be surprised if it's even that. I think there has to be a financial buy in from the region and as massive deradicslizaticn program before statehood. If it were me I would also say that anyone who wants to resettle out of Gaza should be absorbed by the rest of the Arab world. If they don't want to go then so be it but it's going to be years to rebuild and if they want to go the Arab world should absorb them.

Imperial colonial powers have partition denied the whole population of Palestine inalienable rights, freedom, liberty and their own homeland. Nevertheless those are God given rights to all humans regardless of religious dogma. Ambassador Mansur a seasoned diplomats. Professor Rashid Khalid is a prominent scholar espealizing on subject matter. Finally thanks to people's of Southern African stands in solidarity with Palestine against ethnicity based enforced apartheid system inside Palestinian people's homeland. Zionism has produced out of right wings extremist elites tentacles of fascism in action. Israelites deserve a better alternative balanced core leadership to replace Zionism. Israel has a right to exist side by sides with Palestinian State the off shore's oil and gas reservation royalties and loyalties must be shared the equalizer distribution of natural resources Peace up in the middle East regions. Judaism must be refrained from elite Zionism. Christianity must be refrained from Crusaders. Islam must be refrained from offensive Jihadist mantras.

19:38 as far as I know Palestinians were fighting in British army against the Ottomans ( maybe a handful of them were in the Ottoman Army) It was the reason Turks beaten so badly loosing all the lands in the Middle East ruled by them for five hundred years including the Holy land Jerusalem and Mecca. Sad but true 😢

[@alexmost166]

"Palestinians" no. Arab tribes, yes. But why would the Palestinians then reject the separation deal? Just so we are clear, jewish migration into the region didn't start in the British Empire, but some 30 years earlier, and to be clear, Palestinians supported the axis in WWII so that can explain the lack of goodwill later on.

[@அவானிஉயர்ந்தது]

@@alexmost166 that’s true. In the 1880s, Jews began purchasing land and properties across Ottoman Palestine (mainly the Jews whose expelled from Russia) despite the restrictions.

[@marceloorellana5726]

Doesn't matter Jews migrated to Palestine. No people should have to accept their lands partitioned or taken away. So if a guest is invited to your house he has a right to half your house? And if you protest then you are the bad guy? And someone completely separated from your reality decides your house is no longer your house. What would you do?

[@alexmost166]

@marceloorellana5726 it wasn't a Palestinian land, they legally sold properties to the Jewish and Zionist foundation, the Ottoman empire wasn't happy but allowed it too (being the ruler for over 600 years). This is the equivalent to the US allowing immigration, then the union breaks and every states becomes a country, and suddenly the Jewish occupants are branded as not legitimate? Let's be real here. The local arabs of Palestine were zenophobic. Look at the Durze, why do you think they so passionately serve in the IDF? I understand that Palestinians as local inhabitants have a right for the territory they already occupied, I'm for a 1967 lines solution with land exchange to allow for 1948 refugees to come back. But Palestinians never had the entire land, never had a state, with leadership, with rule of law, with a military or security force, with a flag and an anthem and official language or anything. The rest of Israel is nor promised to them... they were promised a free country around the same time Israel was promised one too. Then the question of 1 or 2 states came up. Clashes between thw population made thw second option more viable. They were just residents of greater Ottoman Empire and when you look at historic records, not from the last 30 years when revisionism kicked in, they admit that whole heartedly. Lool at videos from the 50s where Palestinians don'teven call themselves Palestinians. Who does it help to make a claim for the entire land? Just more war.

[@dodiewallace41]

Palestinians deserve equal rights in the land they were displaced and excluded from. Not "separate but equal" but actual equally. Not you don't belong here because we colonized your land and your existence doesn't fit our agenda. No more Palestinian concentration camps. No more bulldozing Palestinian homes and farms. No more separate Palestinian IDs (remember the yellow stars?). No more denying Palestinians access to any part of Israel including roads, settlements, services. Palestinians must have the same rights as all other citizens in Israel. The idea of creating a Jewish settler state in the Middle East was at least as stupid as the movement to send blacks back to Africa, but here we are. What happened to the Jewish people of Europe was absolutely horrific, however those people had not lived in the Middle East for a couple thousand years. There is no justification for what Israel has and is doing to the people they pretend never existed (a land without a people).

What about the Versailles treaty? Article 22? I understood that it gave a mandate for statehood to Palestine. It was also asserted that the Balfour declaration did not make that null and void, so legally is still Palestine? Can someone explain ?

[@unggrabb]

Article 22 of the Versailles Treaty established the concept of mandates, wherein certain territories previously governed by defeated powers would be placed under the administration of advanced nations, acting as mandatories on behalf of the League of Nations. The article emphasizes the principle that the well-being and development of such peoples constitute a sacred trust of civilization. This could be interpreted in the context of supporting Palestinian statehood by advocating for the recognition of their right to self-determination and providing for their administration until they are able to stand alone. However, it's worth noting that the specific application of Article 22 to the Palestinian situation would depend on various factors, including historical context, geopolitical dynamics, and international consensus.

[@ianwellens3169]

Good as always, but I am disappointed with a contradictory conclusion. Professor Khalidi wants a 'two state solution' whilst at the same time saying there must be unequivocal equal rights for all. The problem is that 'two states' preserves Israel, the self-proclaimed 'Jewish state' which was formed around the principle of privilege for its Jewish citizens and discrimination for the rest. Indeed this is pointed out in the talk. So how can it be a solution if this inherently wrong system - with the evidence of 76 years of apartheid, ethnic cleansing and apartheid behind it - is allowed to continue? And: if these injustices continue how can there be peace? The injustice will *always* produce resistance. This is inevitable. Resistance which Israel will always attempt to beat down with repression. This is also inevitable. No. This cannot work. You have to take the injustice OUT. And the only way to do that is to have a single state with equal rights for all. Professor Khalidi says there must be equal rights. In that case Israel has to be brought to an end.
