Shame on those who violates the basic human rights of its neighbours

[@quent94181]

I’m an Israeli Jew and I totally support what Yanis is telling to Harrari. Unfortunately little can be done by me to change the situation. Since the “political Zionism” won over people like Martin Buber, Israel is on the slippery slope to become an ugly ethno-theocratic regime. And the real problem is that the world capitalism was and is happy about how Zionism in Israel has evolved. Yet the capitalists seem to become less happy about what Zionism is doing in the recent days and months, and this fact may signal a potential for change.

[@willhelpforfree]

I also agree with Yanis' point of view, but his allegations against Yuval Noah Harari are preposterous. Harari is the last person who would encourage the enslavement of any population. He is a secular, liberal humanist and a human rights advocate, and this is obvious to anyone who has read his work.

[@quent94181]

@@willhelpforfree I see your point. However, we, the Israelis living in Israel whatever point of view we adhere to, unless we actively fight the Israeli occupation, are also complicit in it. And Harrari doesn’t fight it actively. I’m not sure why he doesn’t. However, had he done so, he would be defined as a traitor by the vast majority of the Israeli public and therefore would not be able to lead the ongoing protest movement as he currently does. The situation is very challenging. We must admit that the fascist right is very strong virtually all over the world.

[@willhelpforfree]

Thank you, Yanis, May you recover well. Good response to use this moment to the Palestinian situation. If Israel realize their wrong doings and start to act better they will see more goodwill and harmony. The old ways of thinking and the current people in power dont work for the common good. Its evident in most countries including europe. I do feel there is a little light in the fact that more is starting to understand how the world work and then we can make other more enlightened choices. First we need light up our reality so we can see what goes on, speak the truth, then people will understand more instead of being fooled most of the time and solutions will come once were feedup with these games they play upon us. Engaged societies can create massive positive change. That power is within us.

Mr. Varoufakis, reading Harari's article it seems to me he was making a statement like "Black Lives Matter!" not against, not in contrast to the huge but separate issue (the crimes and injustices against the Arab people), but instead only focused, limited to the specific issue he was addressing (the law reforms and the protests)

[@ceeemm1901]

Yeah, I read the Guardian article and it had nothing directed at the Palestinean conflict. It was only to do with the democracy problem facing the Israelis. So I don't get Yannnis using the long bow connection here. He hasn't really clarified, just letting it hang in the air.

​@@ceeemm1901Harari at his articles forgets completely the Arab Israelis that live at the outskirts of law and society. So according to Harari till now everything was fine?

Just my own observations: As a Jewish Israeli I live side by side with all sectors of Israeli society; Muslim Palestinian Arabs, Christian Palestinian Arabs, non-religious Palestinian Arabs, Druze , Circassianת Baha'i, Orthodox Jews, Orthodox Greeks, and a few I don't even know about yet. We all drive on the same roads, shop at the same supermarkets, breath the same air and drink the same water. From my nearly 50 years of living in israel I see that the Palestinian people highly value family, community, hard work and education. There are small groups of violence prone fanatics in all sectors of any society, but they do not represent the day to day lives of hardworking and law abiding citizens in any country.
