Two things she didnt mention: 1. Netanyahu is currently on trial for three counts, one of them is bribary (in Israel, the PM can stand trial in regular court). 2. Netanyahu is PM for 16 out of the last 20 years and never once did a significant change in the judicial system. So not only they are pushing for a significant change in the check and balances, but "coinsidently" it is being done in the most pecuiliar times.
it isn't peculiar at all, even his own followers have no doubt that the only reason for this is an attempt to evade justice. -- and for those who don't know, the other parties in the bribery case have have already been found guilty .
What you're not mentioning is that the Supreme Court is not elected by the people of the peoples representatives. People like you want an unelected Supreme Court to have power over the elected representatives of the people. You want a dictatorship, not democracy. If you wanted democracy you'd want the reform to pass.
Netanyahu is innocent until proven otherwise, isn't it? look up my comment if you care to know more of what other Israelis who actually support the reform think
Beautiful woman, beautiful lies. Don't believe this woman, the war right now in Israel is between the little citizen whose representatives are the democratically elected politicians, And the judges of the Supreme Court who are not connected in a democratic way, they choose themselves from the family... only from the elite. The judges in Israel take the laws of the State of Israel and change their meaning. The judges in Israel took upon themselves the authority to enact laws. The judges in Israel stole the choice of the little citizen and enthroned themselves to rule the country. This is the whole war between the small citizen and a handful of judges from the elite who stole the power of the people at the ballot box.
@@joseywales148 You mean the ones that continuously launch rockets at Israel civilians? Or is it the ones shooting men. women and children in the streets? What part of what she said about Pay To Kill didn't you get? The part where the terrorist gets money for killing jews? Or if he or she are killed by Israelis then the family gets money? By the way the U.S. doesn't only help Israel with money (which Israel mostly spends on U.S. made weapons) they send millions to Palestinians. Guess what they do with it? Supporting the side that is weaker isn't always the correct thing. Supporting the side that is rightful is. I support Israel after many years of "feeling" sympathy for Palestinians until I instructed myself and found there to be a huge misinformation campaign by Palestinians and all the other muslim states who have far more funds to do that with. Instead of constantly focusing your criticism only on Israel maybe look at all the people killed by Palestinians and like minded arabs and muslims from all over. I don;t see Israelis harming any countries out there. Now look at the side you support.
@@joseywales148 I do that, but not for opinions about Israel's judicial system's independence or democracy. They sadly don't get to enjoy it, as those of them living in the occupied territories are under martial law.

And this ___ should stick to acting because she doesn't have a clue how she is hurting Israel and the Jewish people to stay in good with her progressive Hollywood friends.

Please upload the full segment. Extremely important things were said about the dramatic increase in antisemitism and I need to share with people to help stop this hate.
You're so witty. The Prime minister has very limited powers. Basically operates under a microscope of you communists. While the Kommies and other perverts are slowly dying in Israel. Demographics are they're developing in favor of the family, children, morality. The perverts and their dogs they worship so much will leave and go to America, further polluting morality over there. They will come with their book of laws, their demands. They squeal like dying Pigs.
You want Bill to let the Palestinian voice to be heard and give someone qualified the stage too. lol. How long have u been watching him for? Did you see his Bibi interview? Bill must have got a kneee operation after that one.
This is an America-centric show. They don't understand the Israel case and Bill doesn't like it when people make a case against Israel. Several people from the panel have made points against it and Bill was always really quick to cut it off. It's in part reason why he doesn't have Reza Aslan on anymore.

Noa Tishby is one of the most articulate and intelligent people-her ability to break down complex issues and make them relative and easy to understand is terrific.
If you mean her ability to guide your shallow thinking past the history of the inhumane imposition of the Zionists on Palestine, as if Israeli atrocities haven't been happening for decades with a far greater death and destruction toll than that which the oppressed Palestinians have waged in their resistance, then yes! she is an excellent propagandist, great window dressing for the barbaric Israeli armed forces and their brutal illegal settlers.
Ok, so I'll add a few facts here. Basically the judicial reform was brought to the forefront because there have never been any checks and balances, and the courts have been rife with judicial overreach. They use concepts like "reasonability" in order to make judicial decisions, even if there is no legal basis for something. They also have pretty much unbridled power in choosing their own replacements, so there is no diversity of opinion on the supreme court. For Americans, if you are on the right, it's like the entire Supreme Court is perpetually comprised of people like Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And if you are on the left, it would be like the entire Supreme Court would be perpetually staffed by Amy Coney Barrett. The fact that judges are chosen by both the executive and legislative branches prevents a one sided court. Israel doesn't have that. At the same time, when the power skews to one direction, the answer isn't to provide unbridled power in the other direction, rather the answer is to make a balance of power. The current government is doing the former. A reform is necessary, but it needs to be bipartisan and balanced. Ultimately the Netanyahu government is coming to realize this and I imagine that a compromise will eventually happen.
This is good context. It definitely needs an overhaul. Making congress be able to over rule the Supreme Court doesn't seem right wing or conservative to me. It seems like a more democratic and "progressive" system than we have in the US. That's what would scare me. Imagine if instead of a bunch of RBGs and ACBs deciding things for your country, you'd have a bunch of AOCs and MTGs who just won a popularity contest.
Thank you for addressing this issue at last. However, I'm baffled by your support of Netanjahu. He might have been liberal right wing 2 decades ago, but he was always an opportunists, an agitator. Worse still, for the last 8 years, since he was first suspected in breaking the law and later indicted thrice, he is on a quest to save his skin no matter the cost and he is turning Israel into a theocracy because his ultra-religious coalition partners don't care about the rule of law, free press, democracy etc. There will be no LGBTs, freedom or human rights if they will have their way. This is very similar to what the Republicans are trying to do in the USA, and I can't understand how you ignore it of fail to see it. By the way, I'm an Israeli, demonstrating on the streets constantly, trying to save our democracy.

Actually, Israel was a theocracy at one point, but that's not what's going on. Netanyahu is doing anything but make it a theocracy, but a dictatorship. If he was this religiously faithful person, he would not have been in the cross hairs of prosecutors for the accusations of corruption.
@@Minister1246 Israel was never a theocracy. we have too many religion-enforcing laws for my taste, but not more than the US or Ireland or many other democracies.
They don't care about the issue apart from speaking in favor of what his friends want to say. It has always been like this. So there will never be a critical talk, even if it's just about the Israeli side. The fact that they aren't critical of Netanyahu, she is actually able to call him a great human being without any pushback at all, says it all.
This bigger than she's implying. Imagine if the US congress voted themselves the right to overrule the US Supreme Court. Israel is moving in the wrong direction.
Oh so what good for the UK/France ans Canada isn't good for Israel? You want us to ge stuck with the same shitty judicial system that is power hungry. I can't with this hypocricity....

Israeli women are just, wow...! I live and run a bar in a country where a lot of Israelis come to. I have yet to meet an Israeli woman who was not super beuatiful
Part of being a good interviewer (especially of politically motivated individuals) is being able to interrupt the person so they aren't just parroting their talking points. If you aren't making the person uncomfortable then you aren't asking the right questions or conducting the interview in a way that will get to the bottom of anything.
Is it because she points out israel is a 1st world country that takes in and protects gay palestinian refugees from their parents and community from honour killing them? Is she supposed to spread anti israeli propaganda? Can you name one palestinian who spreads palestinian propaganda that isnt a sociopath who complains about human rights violations and laughs at the thought of palestinians caring about human rights like not proudly genociding their own gay population? lol
Israelis are no strangers to taking to the streets. They do it every Shabbat in the most peaceful, communal way imaginable. It's like a very calm street party. If you haven't been to Israel, highly recommend that you make the trip. After the current tensions subside, of course.
This is totally misleading. The Israeli supreme Court is ruling out of opinion and not out of law. Therefore most Israelis support the move to remove power from the supreme court.
Would have loved to see Abby Martin join these two for some actual counterpoint instead of Bill's extremely simplistic framing, but I'm sure he'd never let her on the show.
If anyone wants to see what REALLY goes on over there, I suggest you watch "Gaza Fights for Freedom" (you can search for it in TH-cam). It is almost 90 minutes of actual journalism from Abby who went to Palestine, saw how the Palestinians are forced to survive (survive, not live), interviewed many people and shows you the true horror of what goes on over there. But I warn you, parts of it can be tough to watch. Even if you don't have the time to watch that documentary (or simply don't want to), go look at a map and see the massive expansion of Israel over the last 70 years as they kick Palestinians out of the homes/land and shuffle them to the Gaza Strip or West Bank to essentially die. It is deplorable what they are doing over there, and hardly anyone is standing up to them. Bill saying that Israel gave some land back and keep getting attacked is disgusting. Not only is it patently false, it completely ignores Israel's actions over the years. He mentions they have been at war for so long, which is correct. However, he doesn't mention the reason WHY they are at war. It's because of what they have been doing to the Palestinians for the last 70 years.
Can Bill explain why a conservative is better for a country "perpetually at war"? I've love to hear it. It it because civil rights need to be restricted during wartime? He must really like the Hamas government in Gaza.
He’s lying about that too. The idea that Israel is “perpetually at war” is false. They haven’t had a real war since Hezbollah pushed them out of southern Lebanon in the 80s. Bill is very active in spreading misinformation when it comes to the Middle East. It’s very obvious he’s under informed on the subject.
Is it me or did anyone else notice the lady from Michigan was a bit snarky when talking or answering the supper hot lady from Israel? Jealous of her good lucks because she had brains too?
@@backgroundMASCAL If it were up to Noa Tishby, it totally would happen. Noa Tishby outwardly condemns and confronts anti-Israel celebrities. She has asked Bella Hadid several times to have conversations on the crazy talking points that Hadid spews out.
@@mmike2389 exactly right, I saw the video of her debating student about this issue out in the open on the Berkeley campus, that is not something you do if you don't want to be confronted.
Bill Maher should point out that Israel was never a democracy according to Netanyahu. What Netanyahu is saying is that Israel will finally be a democracy after the Judicary overhaul. Once the Judicary overhaul is done then Israel will truly be a democracy. Unfortunately Bill Maher could not see it
Apparently, I suspect starting this week HBO or maybe TH-cam told Maher to stop posting complete segments, only partial ones as teases to get people to subscribe.
yes we had a israeli store here in calgary that sold dead sea salt very expensive but works great all women jews most beaitifull women in one store id seen and they all sales ladys so they come to you to get a sale unfortunly i was married at the time so i didnt try to date any of them so beauitful
Yeah, Bill's never had any Israel defenders on. LOL! Aside from frequency, Israel certainly does need defenders. Considering the volumes of rights abuses it has racked up along with the illegal institution of a continuous apartheid occupation and the state funding of settler terror, Israel gonna need all the help it can get not to be "wrongly" delegitimized.
Unfortunately, they can. Just look at Russia, Turkey , Hungry and now Israel. Most people don't follow logic by are governed by emotions. Especially when its negative emotions. Dictator like figures, always place some enemy on the other side and blame everything on him/them. Then they turn every person who doesn't agree with them to an enemy as well. This is how it was in Nazi Germany and this is how Bengamin Netanyaho is doing now in Israel.
Maher should probably be a bit more open minded about this issue. It seems the talking point of Israel is a champion of Democracy in the region weakens each time Netanyahu gets his mitts on any power.
It is not Netanyahu weakening democracy, but the authoritarian, partisan, self appointing courts. Your ignorance of the reason why judicial reform is needed, to counter racism and bigotry, is astounding.
@@deborahfreedman333 The solution to the flawed court system is not removing separation of powers. That makes the problem even worse, and makes democracy even weaker. A functioning democracy requires checks and balances.
"Usually?" They almost always only show part of the interview on the youtube channel. Not the entire thing. Go back and watch some old interviews. This is how they do it.

Not really.... While she may support Bibi as prime minister, she still thinks the judicial reform is wrong and isnt afraid to say it. She calls out when the government wants to push things she is against. Kelly Ann Conway was blindly following Trump
@@Sdority905 Actually, Kelly Ann Conwy separated herself from Trump as soon as she could get off the payroll. More importantly, she tries to throw deep shade on the Apartheid state actions against the Palestinians and is quite offensive. It was great when Bill politely called her out for lying stating she was "being political."
yes its a cheap tactic. people who care about human rights and international law (and violations by Israel) are grouped with hate groups. They know it's BS.
I am a firm believer of supporting Israel as is the blessing from God to do so. I actually disagree that Israel does not have a constitution. What makes them a country if they don't have a constitution. Even street gangs have a constitution. The issue is that Israel's Constitution is engrained in the Law of Moses, the Pentateuch. Throughout Israel's history, her leaders and people experienced hardships when that as a country moved from Yahweh. Netanyahu is seeking to seize ultimate power and this is what the people see. He's testing testing the waters, like trumP to see what the people will go for and how much of that population will support him. He and his family (wife) have been investigated for corruption, yet he wins another term. In my opinion, he's trying to ease Israel into a dictatorship.
Interesting how she says it’s democratic but the British and Americans displaced Palestinians, made a Jewish government and gave them Military arms. I personally don’t have any skin in the game but all these discussions are such propaganda.
Your first statement is true, but the latter.... If everything else is simply just propaganda then there can never be any discussion ever. If there is no way to talk about the problem then war is only solution.
@@rabbit251 I meant to say, Media propaganda or western propaganda. I agree we need discussions, but very few actually say (or even know) what happened in 1945-1948.
It's more democratic than the majority of the other countries in the region but unfortunately not to all groups. So gays and women for instance have way more rights in Israel than the neighboring countries but not so much for the Palestinians.
The first question was most telling, even though it was brushed off as irrelevant. Of course democracy will not prevail, the democratic notion has been hijacked by other causes. This government can handle people protesting year round, and the people go to protest as if it was their synagogue. There is no prospect for the democratic debate itself, which is pretty plain and straightforward: 1. The Israeli population at large, for many reasons - have grievances with the judiciary. 2. The Israeli population at large, for clear reasons - still want to maintain the judiciary as an independent pillar, with balancing authority. These 2 could have been debated, democratically, to serve the people. Instead the entire matter has been politicized and personalized - for the purpose of not debating the matter.
@Julio Altamiranda A democracy is not the same as a republic. People are confused and do not understand the difference because they have been led to believe that voting means a democracy. A democracy is about direct rule by the people and is not about voting. I know this is hard to understand because people have been conditioned to associate democracy with voting. The main difference between a Democracy and a Republic is that one is base on direct rule while the other uses representation involving voting and elected and unelected officials.
@@bighands69 I think you should read up on democracy. What you describe is a type of democracy that is very rarely used since classical age greece, not all democracies. The differences between democracies and republics are more nuanced, and to my knowledge have more to do with the type of electives the people choose (republics have presidents usually). There's also nothing that is inherently conflicting with the two, and a country can be both a republic and a democracy at the same time.
Tishby is lovely but the whole conversation missed the point- the reason for Israel's internal strife is not the settlements but the abyss between religious and orthodox messianic Israelis and moderate liberal and progressive Israelis, (of whom many oppose the settlements). It's a battle between world views that is finally exhausted "thanks" to Netanyahu's personal assault on Israel's progressive judicial system. Too bad that Maher had actually supported Netanyahu on his show.
Hey Bill A QUICK QUESTION! Why are you OKAY with s conservative prime minister for Israel?! Dont Liberal Israelis (40% of the population) deserve to live in a free and liberal society? Why in your opinion is it okay that we live in conservative religious hell while you are fighting to avoid the same fate for Americans under Trump? I wish you a second Trump term so you have some time to think about your position.
@@stefanig4834excellent comment. Yes, for many people, the anti-Semitic nature of their criticism is the obsessiveness with Israel. Another sign is that they claim that any criticism of a particular Israeli policy or government labels is not allowed. Of course, I write this more than 2 months after Oct. 7. Now, we hear from the same types that Israel should basically not fight back against a genocidal regime.
Christopher Hitchens used to say that in Israel the extreme right religious zealots were the ones really in charge. And he knew a thing or two about that region.
@@jamesjameson4303 Now I will have to elaborate. That was exactly his critique. In God is Not Great he claimed that he talked to some great Israeli diplomat or someone else in high office there. What the official said was that the solution to the palestine/israel problem was actually really easy. Two people/nations, roughly the same size have a legitimate claim to a land that can acommodate both of them. The most simple and rational solution was divide the land equally and give sovereignity to each state. But what he called "the parties of god" (the right wing extremists) in both sides have always prevented that from happening. Let's remember that the closest the world ever got to a peaceful solution to that problem was with Arafat and Izaak Rabin. Rabin was killed by a jewish religious extremist.
@@cronistamundano8189 The reality is that Palestinians refused the deal to begin with and decided it was best to go to war. War is a nasty thing. The spoils go to the victors. Had the Palestinians won do you think they would have evenly divided the land? I think not. Rather they would have massacred the jews one by one as they often described it and still do. Israel like it or not or fair or not depending on whatever bias one has, has the land it has now. The Palestinians lost some and Israel gave some of it back as an olive branch. Again the Palestinians take olive branches and burn them until now there are no more branches left. Reality is such that the only way towards peace is for Palestinians to start showing the world and especially Israel what they COULD behave like if peace was reached. Alas Palestinians show no signs of wanting peace or accepting Israel as a nation and so here we are stuck in the reality that is. I really believe that even if Palestinians were given more land they still would not accept it as they want it all. This is and has been stated many times by all the various factions of the Palestinians. "From river to the sea" is the motto most often heard and supported by speeches and documents such as the Hamas covenant which can be read by anyone with an internet connection. Palestinians are their own worst enemy and the cause of Israel's right wing shift as the right is plainly fed up with aall their killings and behaviours. Now 2 wrongs don't make a right but it is self evident that Palestinians and also many arab countries do not seem to know how to evoke peace and stability in their countries or lives. Violence seems to almost always be the solution for those cultures and it stems mainly form the dogmatic ideology known as Islam. I am glad I do not live in Israel but had I to chose between Palestinian side and Israeli I would pick the one I would most likely remain alive. That is self evident as well.
Bill should now get someone from the Palestinian side to explain things so you don't get the likes of Ms Tishby who said Israel gave back parts of Palestine, or another government representative who recently declared in Paris that there was no such thing as Palestine!
Israel fund and provide the "Palestinians" with employment centers, electricity, water, gas, building materials, medicines, life-saving treatments (in Israeli hospitals!), Hundreds of thousands of work permits (in Israel!), and free academic studies for "Palestinians" with Israeli residency in East Jerusalem (in The Hebrew University!). The question is WHY? Why is Israel helping (super antisemitic) people who call for its destruction and murder its citizens? 🤔 Israeli citizens should pressure the Israeli government to boycott the FAKEstinians until they stop with the wild incitement and barbaric terrorism.
You're right. Imagine if they woke up one day & just said, "Fck it! No more fighting. Let's _make_ this work somehow." If they could, they'd have the whole _entire_ world in ah & envy. They'd make history & peace at the same time.
Yes, the way the arabs killed and drove out all the native people, the Jews, when the Jordanian army invaded, is never mentioned. The fact is Jews have never driven the arabs out of any arab land, but the arabs want to drive all the Jews out of the 30% of their land not occupied by Jordanians.
Funny how the arab population almost doubles each year. Funny how 20% of Israelis are Arabs who go about their business each day with more rights than any other Arab country where the Arabs are actually treated like dirt like in Syria for only one example.
Extraordinary level headed and pragmatic view. It was good she emphasized the protests are peaceful and this will likely not get passed. It will be interesting to follow this form of Democracy.
too bad they are not peaceful -- attacking Levin's house while he is sitting shiva - attacking Nir Barack - threatening to murder MKs and blocking one MKs house so her autistic daughter couldn't leave for school - blocking thoroughfares and the airport to cause anarchy - if you would stop reading the mendacious left wing propaganda and seek the truth you would find it.
How is protesting NOT a sign of democracy? In Iran people get jailed and hung for protesting the government. I live in Israel and have gone to the protests and that is not happening here right now. The people deserve to be heard. That is the people's right and that is democracy.
West Bank is not ruled by hamas but what has it gotten them? More israeli raids AND settlements. Finally, what kind of Palestinean state would it be if it wouldn't control its borders, land, air or sea?
You're missing the point. Israel pulled out of Gaza and then Hamas took power a few months later. The same would happen in the West Bank. They are raided because WB is a breeding ground for terrorists. Dozens of Israeli civilians have been killed by terrorists out of the WB this year alone. There are 32 countries that do not have a military, that is not required to be a state. A state with a 60 year history of terrorism should not have armed forces.
First off, the name west bank is the invaders' name. The region has two names, Yudah and Shomron, or Judea and Samaria. And, 70% of Israel was already carved off, by the British, and filled with arabs brought in from other lands. It is called Jordan, and that is the 'palestinian state". Also, while Fatach nominally controls Area A, of Judah and Shomron, Hamas has been operating there, and have brought terrorists into Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, to murder the native people.
The "From The River To The Sea" chant they are referring to is a chant used by the Palestinian side to essentially say that they want all of Isreal wiped out and thus all of the land there. So in other words that chant isn't advocating for a two-state-solution but rather the complete destruction of Israel which just isn't going to happen. I'm all for the Palestinians getting their own state or equal treatment in Israel but to do so they have to willing to accept that Israel is not going to be completely eradicated and I'm not sure how many on the Palestinian side are ok with that.
Isreal also has made ridiculously advanced contributions to military and medical technology. Not to mention they are the model middle eastern society when it comes to desalinization to supply water.
There is a contradiction, if Israel is apartheid then how is it that its members of parliament are Arabs, judges, doctors and department heads, hi-tech workers and more? The bottom line is that there is no apartheid and stop using this word in favor of Israel hatred
@Brand Monkey If you were to check on Google you would see that statistically the number of Palestinians only increased with the creation of the State of Israel, you are using a word that is disconnected from reality. And by the way, if you were to enter hospitals in Israel, you would see Palestinians receiving life-saving treatments, equal to anyone who needs them. P.S. When you stop reading biased news, you will understand the truth in the whole picture.
Our US judiciary created for itself constitutional review powers (a power not given to them by the constitution). That's not something tolerated in most Parliamentary systems. But we accepted it here. Congress can overrule the courts in statutory cases. ⚠️ In Israel, thier activist judges declared part of laws "a constitution like reference body, then try to strike down laws it doesn't like for violating prior laws. They are also get involved in selecting other judges. That's insanity. And Bibi is right in his reforms.

@@hus390 to answer your question: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights "Unreasonable" is indeed too vague and open to be exploited, only it never happened yet, and the law removing it didn't offer any new brake and balance on the government controlling both the legislative and the executive branches. Basically leaving us with no separation of powers.
A court that is "supreme", always struck me as counter to democracy. If the highest court encounters a new issue that democracy hasn't decided before, it should then automatically appoint a referendum on the issue. Not endlessly interpret old texts that don't touch on the issue. Because then it becomes a mini parliament where they vote amongst themselves and mostly according on their personal biases. Just look at minority opinions released by the US Supreme Court. They are just as thoroughly argued as the majority decision that won the vote in the mini parliament among the judges. Judges are people, they are biased, no matter what oaths you let them swear.
I am a supporter of Israel. Growing up in a Jewish household that had relatives who were victims of the Holocaust it's in my DNA to support Israel. BUT they need to get out of 95% of the West Bank. The remaining 5%, all of which boarders Israel proper, is necessary for the defense of Israel. HOWEVER, putting settlements there is a bone in the throat of Palestinians and so, if those areas are necessary for defense then they should be a military base or bases. Israel and a lot of American Jews, despite UN resolutions to the contrary, (in other words, the weight of international law), don't want to give up one bit of this territory based on 2000 year-old claims that it was once part of ancient Israel. Well, by that logic every non Native American should leave the Western hemisphere. Furthermore, the West Bank was largely Samaria, part of the Roman Province of Palestine but peopled by Samaritans who Jews did not consider to be Jews. But all of that is ancient history. What matters is that the Palestinians, (and yes they weren't always called that), have lived in the West Bank for at least a thousand years and are descended from peoples some of whom have claims as ancient as the Jews. They are clearly a mix of Canaanites, Jews left behind in the Diaspora who long ago lost their Jewish identity and Bedouins who wandered into the area hundreds, maybe a thousand years ago. But more importantly, THEY ARE LIVING THERE NOW! This means that something must be done with them. There are five choices, two of which are crimes against humanity, two of which are violations of international law and would eventually lead to Israel's destruction and the last of which, while difficult is their only way out. 1 and 2 involve getting rid of the Palestinians either by killing or deporting them, clear crimes against humanity which I hope 90% of Israelis would oppose, and certainly the world would. Doing either would cost them the protection of the US and their souls. The next two involve annexing the territory either officially or unofficially. At that point they either give citizenship to the Palestinians living there or create an Apartheid state. If the former, birth rates being what they are, Israeli citizens of Palestinian descent will outnumber Jewish Israelis in a few decades and basically vote Israel out of existence. If the latter, such a state of affairs isn't sustainable once Palestinians become the majority and what happened in South Africa will happen in Israel either peacefully or violently, thus ending it as a Jewish State. Thus it seems that the only way for Israel to survive long term is to withdraw from the West Bank as they did from Gaza and leave it to its own devices retaining only such areas necessary for defense of the state which if that is their purpose should contain military installations.
Maybe. I would agree for a wall though. Palestinians have proven time and time again it does not matter what Israel takes or concedes. You conveniently leave out the fact that Palestinians want to and would kill every Jew should they get the opportunity. Peace is a 2 way street built on trust. How naive must one be to agree with someone that has lives to kill you the moment you drop your guard or turn your back. I think Israel is just fed up on waiting on Palestinians to make peace and stop the violence. The world has proven time and time again it does not defend the Jews. We rejected them when they fled Nazi Germany as did many other countries. Palestinians could have created a great country alongside them but instead chose to wipe them out in order to claim all the land. They tried 6 times and failed. One has to understand the Arab culture that does not take humiliation well even if it is their fault. You can see this in what is constantly happening in the rest of the middle east. They just cannot get their thing together n order to live in a productive and progressive society. Sorry I don't buy the victimhood anymore. They could pick keaders that help them instead of the ones that are holding them back where they were 1400 years ago.
@@cosimodirondo972 Two reasons: 1. It is also the Palestinian People's who have lived there for 500 to a thousand years at least and are partly made-up of the original inhabitants, Canaanites and Jews who long ago during the diaspora lost their Jewish identity. Thus their claims are at least as good if not better than are the American People's to this country or the Protestant Irish to Ulster. 2. Something must be done with the Palestinians living there and as outlined previously the other choices for dealing with them are in violations of international law and/or crimes against humanity or would eventually lead to be the end of of Israel as a Jewish state. If there is a policy choice that would avoid these consequences and still allow Israel to retain the West Bank please enlighten me.
I agree with most of what you say, but because it’s the right thing to do. Israel was built on ideals inconsistent with military occupation. But Israel is a nuclear power so if it’s going down it will take the entire Region down with it. And possibly drag in the rest of the world. So it’s a global imperative to find a just solution.
@@CaptainLightning1 1 - Almut Nebel's 2001 study, "The Y Chromosome Pool of Jews as Part of the Genetic Landscape of the Middle East" found that, '[T]he Y chromosomes in Palestinian Arabs and Bedouins represent, to a large extent, early lineages derived from the Neolithic inhabitants of the area and additional lineages from more-recent population movements. The early lineages are part of the common chromosome pool shared with Jews. According to our working model, the more-recent migrations were mostly from the ARABIAN PENINSULA [emphasis mine], as is seen in the Arab-specific Eu 10 chromosomes that include the modal haplotypes observed in Palestinians and Bedouins.' 2 - Jewish legal rights under international law to Israel*/Palestine had its starting point not in 1947, but 27 years earlier on April 1920, with the San Remo Resolution on Palestine (aka "Mandate Article" of the Treaty of Peace with Turkey). After World War l, the Principal Allied Powers (UK, France, Italy, Japan, U.S.**) took possession of the territories of the defeated Ottoman Turks, who had occupied Israel for four hundred years (1516-1917). As victors in said war, they had the power of dispossession and disposition; their decision at San Remo in 1920 to reserve the land in question for the Jewish People in recognition of their connection to their ancestral homeland was confirmed by the League of Nations (the United Nations predecessor) in 1922, and it is still in force per the United Nations' Charter, Article 80. This was the beginning when the Jewish People's right to all the land west of the Jordan River was established in international law. *The king of Moab (present-day Jordan) mentions Israel in the 9th Century BCE Mesha Stele. Israel precedes Palestine. The name of the land is Israel. **The US was not a member of the League of Nations, but the Lodge-Fish Resolution, passed by both houses of Congress on June 1922, endorsed the Mandate for Palestine; it was then signed by President Warren Harding on September 1922.

Two things she didnt mention:
1. Netanyahu is currently on trial for three counts, one of them is bribary (in Israel, the PM can stand trial in regular court).
2. Netanyahu is PM for 16 out of the last 20 years and never once did a significant change in the judicial system.
So not only they are pushing for a significant change in the check and balances, but "coinsidently" it is being done in the most pecuiliar times.
it isn't peculiar at all,
even his own followers have no doubt that the only reason for this is an attempt to evade justice.

Supporting the side that is weaker isn't always the correct thing. Supporting the side that is rightful is. I support Israel after many years of "feeling" sympathy for Palestinians until I instructed myself and found there to be a huge misinformation campaign by Palestinians and all the other muslim states who have far more funds to do that with.
Instead of constantly focusing your criticism only on Israel maybe look at all the people killed by Palestinians and like minded arabs and muslims from all over. I don;t see Israelis harming any countries out there. Now look at the side you support.

I didn’t hear a word she said but I agree
No he likes the sound of his own voice way too much! He loses! And so did we!!
If you mean her ability to guide your shallow thinking past the history of the inhumane imposition of the Zionists on Palestine, as if Israeli atrocities haven't been happening for decades with a far greater death and destruction toll than that which the oppressed Palestinians have waged in their resistance, then yes! she is an excellent propagandist, great window dressing for the barbaric Israeli armed forces and their brutal illegal settlers.
Ok, so I'll add a few facts here. Basically the judicial reform was brought to the forefront because there have never been any checks and balances, and the courts have been rife with judicial overreach. They use concepts like "reasonability" in order to make judicial decisions, even if there is no legal basis for something. They also have pretty much unbridled power in choosing their own replacements, so there is no diversity of opinion on the supreme court. For Americans, if you are on the right, it's like the entire Supreme Court is perpetually comprised of people like Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And if you are on the left, it would be like the entire Supreme Court would be perpetually staffed by Amy Coney Barrett. The fact that judges are chosen by both the executive and legislative branches prevents a one sided court. Israel doesn't have that.
At the same time, when the power skews to one direction, the answer isn't to provide unbridled power in the other direction, rather the answer is to make a balance of power. The current government is doing the former. A reform is necessary, but it needs to be bipartisan and balanced. Ultimately the Netanyahu government is coming to realize this and I imagine that a compromise will eventually happen.
Even now?
This is good context. It definitely needs an overhaul. Making congress be able to over rule the Supreme Court doesn't seem right wing or conservative to me. It seems like a more democratic and "progressive" system than we have in the US. That's what would scare me. Imagine if instead of a bunch of RBGs and ACBs deciding things for your country, you'd have a bunch of AOCs and MTGs who just won a popularity contest.

Thank you for addressing this issue at last. However, I'm baffled by your support of Netanjahu. He might have been liberal right wing 2 decades ago, but he was always an opportunists, an agitator. Worse still, for the last 8 years, since he was first suspected in breaking the law and later indicted thrice, he is on a quest to save his skin no matter the cost and he is turning Israel into a theocracy because his ultra-religious coalition partners don't care about the rule of law, free press, democracy etc. There will be no LGBTs, freedom or human rights if they will have their way. This is very similar to what the Republicans are trying to do in the USA, and I can't understand how you ignore it of fail to see it. By the way, I'm an Israeli, demonstrating on the streets constantly, trying to save our democracy.
He was never a liberal, maybe you meant an economic neo-liberal? he was always a weasel opportunist, since he popped on the scene in the late 80s.

Actually, Israel was a theocracy at one point, but that's not what's going on. Netanyahu is doing anything but make it a theocracy, but a dictatorship. If he was this religiously faithful person, he would not have been in the cross hairs of prosecutors for the accusations of corruption.

They don't care about the issue apart from speaking in favor of what his friends want to say. It has always been like this. So there will never be a critical talk, even if it's just about the Israeli side. The fact that they aren't critical of Netanyahu, she is actually able to call him a great human being without any pushback at all, says it all.
This bigger than she's implying. Imagine if the US congress voted themselves the right to overrule the US Supreme Court. Israel is moving in the wrong direction.

that alone tells you everything you need to know about framing of the narrative
If anyone wants to see what REALLY goes on over there, I suggest you watch "Gaza Fights for Freedom" (you can search for it in TH-cam). It is almost 90 minutes of actual journalism from Abby who went to Palestine, saw how the Palestinians are forced to survive (survive, not live), interviewed many people and shows you the true horror of what goes on over there. But I warn you, parts of it can be tough to watch. Even if you don't have the time to watch that documentary (or simply don't want to), go look at a map and see the massive expansion of Israel over the last 70 years as they kick Palestinians out of the homes/land and shuffle them to the Gaza Strip or West Bank to essentially die. It is deplorable what they are doing over there, and hardly anyone is standing up to them. Bill saying that Israel gave some land back and keep getting attacked is disgusting. Not only is it patently false, it completely ignores Israel's actions over the years. He mentions they have been at war for so long, which is correct. However, he doesn't mention the reason WHY they are at war. It's because of what they have been doing to the Palestinians for the last 70 years.
Abby Martin is mentall ill and quite barbaric in her opinions. Especially concerning human rights, like for gay people.
She would humiliate Bill- he a grifter and she would expose him
Can Bill explain why a conservative is better for a country "perpetually at war"? I've love to hear it. It it because civil rights need to be restricted during wartime?
He must really like the Hamas government in Gaza.
He’s lying about that too. The idea that Israel is “perpetually at war” is false. They haven’t had a real war since Hezbollah pushed them out of southern Lebanon in the 80s. Bill is very active in spreading misinformation when it comes to the Middle East. It’s very obvious he’s under informed on the subject.

Unfortunately, they can. Just look at Russia, Turkey , Hungry and now Israel. Most people don't follow logic by are governed by emotions. Especially when its negative emotions. Dictator like figures, always place some enemy on the other side and blame everything on him/them. Then they turn every person who doesn't agree with them to an enemy as well. This is how it was in Nazi Germany and this is how Bengamin Netanyaho is doing now in Israel.
Doesn't help that Israel had like 5 general elections in 5 years.
Maher should probably be a bit more open minded about this issue.

It has always troubled me to have Antisemitism and Delegitimization grouped together as if they are the same thing.
yes its a cheap tactic. people who care about human rights and international law (and violations by Israel) are grouped with hate groups. They know it's BS.
I am a firm believer of supporting Israel as is the blessing from God to do so. I actually disagree that Israel does not have a constitution. What makes them a country if they don't have a constitution. Even street gangs have a constitution. The issue is that Israel's Constitution is engrained in the Law of Moses, the Pentateuch.
Throughout Israel's history, her leaders and people experienced hardships when that as a country moved from Yahweh. Netanyahu is seeking to seize ultimate power and this is what the people see. He's testing testing the waters, like trumP to see what the people will go for and how much of that population will support him. He and his family (wife) have been investigated for corruption, yet he wins another term. In my opinion, he's trying to ease Israel into a dictatorship.

I love 💕 Noa Tishby. She speaks the truth!
The first question was most telling, even though it was brushed off as irrelevant.
Of course democracy will not prevail, the democratic notion has been hijacked by other causes.
This government can handle people protesting year round, and the people go to protest as if it was their synagogue.
There is no prospect for the democratic debate itself, which is pretty plain and straightforward:
1. The Israeli population at large, for many reasons - have grievances with the judiciary.
2. The Israeli population at large, for clear reasons - still want to maintain the judiciary as an independent pillar, with balancing authority.
These 2 could have been debated, democratically, to serve the people. Instead the entire matter has been politicized and personalized - for the purpose of not debating the matter.
You throw the word democracy around but do not even know what it means.
@Julio Altamiranda
A democracy is not the same as a republic.
People are confused and do not understand the difference because they have been led to believe that voting means a democracy.
A democracy is about direct rule by the people and is not about voting. I know this is hard to understand because people have been conditioned to associate democracy with voting.
The main difference between a Democracy and a Republic is that one is base on direct rule while the other uses representation involving voting and elected and unelected officials.
@@bighands69 I think you should read up on democracy. What you describe is a type of democracy that is very rarely used since classical age greece, not all democracies. The differences between democracies and republics are more nuanced, and to my knowledge have more to do with the type of electives the people choose (republics have presidents usually).
There's also nothing that is inherently conflicting with the two, and a country can be both a republic and a democracy at the same time.
I don't think you live or ever lived or even visited Israel - just from your over hyperbolic comment
Tishby is lovely but the whole conversation missed the point- the reason for Israel's internal strife is not the settlements but the abyss between religious and orthodox messianic Israelis and moderate liberal and progressive Israelis, (of whom many oppose the settlements). It's a battle between world views that is finally exhausted "thanks" to Netanyahu's personal assault on Israel's progressive judicial system.
Too bad that Maher had actually supported Netanyahu on his show.
Hey Bill A QUICK QUESTION!

Yes, for many people, the anti-Semitic nature of their criticism is the obsessiveness with Israel. Another sign is that they claim that any criticism of a particular Israeli policy or government labels is not allowed.
Of course, I write this more than 2 months after Oct. 7. Now, we hear from the same types that Israel should basically not fight back against a genocidal regime.

Christopher Hitchens used to say that in Israel the extreme right religious zealots were the ones really in charge. And he knew a thing or two about that region.
LOL. He also was the biggest critic of Islam.
@@jamesjameson4303 Now I will have to elaborate. That was exactly his critique. In God is Not Great he claimed that he talked to some great Israeli diplomat or someone else in high office there.
What the official said was that the solution to the palestine/israel problem was actually really easy. Two people/nations, roughly the same size have a legitimate claim to a land that can acommodate both of them.
The most simple and rational solution was divide the land equally and give sovereignity to each state.
But what he called "the parties of god" (the right wing extremists) in both sides have always prevented that from happening.
Let's remember that the closest the world ever got to a peaceful solution to that problem was with Arafat and Izaak Rabin. Rabin was killed by a jewish religious extremist.
@@cronistamundano8189 The reality is that Palestinians refused the deal to begin with and decided it was best to go to war. War is a nasty thing. The spoils go to the victors. Had the Palestinians won do you think they would have evenly divided the land? I think not. Rather they would have massacred the jews one by one as they often described it and still do. Israel like it or not or fair or not depending on whatever bias one has, has the land it has now. The Palestinians lost some and Israel gave some of it back as an olive branch. Again the Palestinians take olive branches and burn them until now there are no more branches left.
Reality is such that the only way towards peace is for Palestinians to start showing the world and especially Israel what they COULD behave like if peace was reached. Alas Palestinians show no signs of wanting peace or accepting Israel as a nation and so here we are stuck in the reality that is.
I really believe that even if Palestinians were given more land they still would not accept it as they want it all. This is and has been stated many times by all the various factions of the Palestinians. "From river to the sea" is the motto most often heard and supported by speeches and documents such as the Hamas covenant which can be read by anyone with an internet connection. Palestinians are their own worst enemy and the cause of Israel's right wing shift as the right is plainly fed up with aall their killings and behaviours. Now 2 wrongs don't make a right but it is self evident that Palestinians and also many arab countries do not seem to know how to evoke peace and stability in their countries or lives. Violence seems to almost always be the solution for those cultures and it stems mainly form the dogmatic ideology known as Islam.
I am glad I do not live in Israel but had I to chose between Palestinian side and Israeli I would pick the one I would most likely remain alive. That is self evident as well.
“I never have (spoken out about things Israel does I disagree with ) publicly”……?!?

Best approach for Combating Antisemitism is to Do No More Evil----toward the Palestinians (who are Semites).
You have no idea what you're talking about.
Bill should now get someone from the Palestinian side to explain things so you don't get the likes of Ms Tishby who said Israel gave back parts of Palestine, or another government representative who recently declared in Paris that there was no such thing as Palestine!
Okay Bill, if you want to be brave, next have on a pro Palestinian guest to speak for the other side.
Israel fund and provide the "Palestinians" with employment centers, electricity, water, gas, building materials, medicines, life-saving treatments (in Israeli hospitals!), Hundreds of thousands of work permits (in Israel!), and free academic studies for "Palestinians" with Israeli residency in East Jerusalem (in The Hebrew University!).
The question is WHY? Why is Israel helping (super antisemitic) people who call for its destruction and murder its citizens? 🤔
Israeli citizens should pressure the Israeli government to boycott the FAKEstinians until they stop with the wild incitement and barbaric terrorism.

Yes, the way the arabs killed and drove out all the native people, the Jews, when the Jordanian army invaded, is never mentioned. The fact is Jews have never driven the arabs out of any arab land, but the arabs want to drive all the Jews out of the 30% of their land not occupied by Jordanians.
What ethnic cleansing? 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🖕🖕🖕
Funny how the arab population almost doubles each year. Funny how 20% of Israelis are Arabs who go about their business each day with more rights than any other Arab country where the Arabs are actually treated like dirt like in Syria for only one example.

West Bank is not ruled by hamas but what has it gotten them?
More israeli raids AND settlements.
Finally, what kind of Palestinean state would it be if it wouldn't control its borders, land, air or sea?
You're missing the point. Israel pulled out of Gaza and then Hamas took power a few months later. The same would happen in the West Bank.
They are raided because WB is a breeding ground for terrorists. Dozens of Israeli civilians have been killed by terrorists out of the WB this year alone.
There are 32 countries that do not have a military, that is not required to be a state. A state with a 60 year history of terrorism should not have armed forces.
First off, the name west bank is the invaders' name. The region has two names, Yudah and Shomron, or Judea and Samaria. And, 70% of Israel was already carved off, by the British, and filled with arabs brought in from other lands. It is called Jordan, and that is the 'palestinian state". Also, while Fatach nominally controls Area A, of Judah and Shomron, Hamas has been operating there, and have brought terrorists into Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, to murder the native people.
A free state?? ✌🏼
The "From The River To The Sea" chant they are referring to is a chant used by the Palestinian side to essentially say that they want all of Isreal wiped out and thus all of the land there. So in other words that chant isn't advocating for a two-state-solution but rather the complete destruction of Israel which just isn't going to happen. I'm all for the Palestinians getting their own state or equal treatment in Israel but to do so they have to willing to accept that Israel is not going to be completely eradicated and I'm not sure how many on the Palestinian side are ok with that.
Where do the jews go then ?
LOL judicial overhauls to overrule the supreme court : "democracy in action!"

What is misunderstood about a racist apartheid country ?
@Star one thing doesn’t excuse the other. Both are bad but only one has the power in this situation
Isreal also has made ridiculously advanced contributions to military and medical technology. Not to mention they are the model middle eastern society when it comes to desalinization to supply water.
There is a contradiction, if Israel is apartheid then how is it that its members of parliament are Arabs, judges, doctors and department heads, hi-tech workers and more? The bottom line is that there is no apartheid and stop using this word in favor of Israel hatred
When their neighbors stop trying to invade them, start asking that question.
@Brand Monkey If you were to check on Google you would see that statistically the number of Palestinians only increased with the creation of the State of Israel, you are using a word that is disconnected from reality. And by the way, if you were to enter hospitals in Israel, you would see Palestinians receiving life-saving treatments, equal to anyone who needs them. P.S. When you stop reading biased news, you will understand the truth in the whole picture.
Best explanation of the differences between the types of government Israel and the US have, especially in the Overtime segment.
Our US judiciary created for itself constitutional review powers (a power not given to them by the constitution). That's not something tolerated in most Parliamentary systems. But we accepted it here. Congress can overrule the courts in statutory cases. ⚠️ In Israel, thier activist judges declared part of laws "a constitution like reference body, then try to strike down laws it doesn't like for violating prior laws. They are also get involved in selecting other judges. That's insanity. And Bibi is right in his reforms.
@@hus390 they stroke down 22 laws ever if I remember correctly, and those laws were obvious violations of basic human rights.

@@hus390 to answer your question:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights
"Unreasonable" is indeed too vague and open to be exploited, only it never happened yet, and the law removing it didn't offer any new brake and balance on the government controlling both the legislative and the executive branches. Basically leaving us with no separation of powers.
A court that is "supreme", always struck me as counter to democracy.
If the highest court encounters a new issue that democracy hasn't decided before, it should then automatically appoint a referendum on the issue. Not endlessly interpret old texts that don't touch on the issue. Because then it becomes a mini parliament where they vote amongst themselves and mostly according on their personal biases. Just look at minority opinions released by the US Supreme Court. They are just as thoroughly argued as the majority decision that won the vote in the mini parliament among the judges. Judges are people, they are biased, no matter what oaths you let them swear.
I am a supporter of Israel. Growing up in a Jewish household that had relatives who were victims of the Holocaust it's in my DNA to support Israel. BUT they need to get out of 95% of the West Bank. The remaining 5%, all of which boarders Israel proper, is necessary for the defense of Israel. HOWEVER, putting settlements there is a bone in the throat of Palestinians and so, if those areas are necessary for defense then they should be a military base or bases. Israel and a lot of American Jews, despite UN resolutions to the contrary, (in other words, the weight of international law), don't want to give up one bit of this territory based on 2000 year-old claims that it was once part of ancient Israel. Well, by that logic every non Native American should leave the Western hemisphere. Furthermore, the West Bank was largely Samaria, part of the Roman Province of Palestine but peopled by Samaritans who Jews did not consider to be Jews. But all of that is ancient history. What matters is that the Palestinians, (and yes they weren't always called that), have lived in the West Bank for at least a thousand years and are descended from peoples some of whom have claims as ancient as the Jews. They are clearly a mix of Canaanites, Jews left behind in the Diaspora who long ago lost their Jewish identity and Bedouins who wandered into the area hundreds, maybe a thousand years ago. But more importantly, THEY ARE LIVING THERE NOW! This means that something must be done with them. There are five choices, two of which are crimes against humanity, two of which are violations of international law and would eventually lead to Israel's destruction and the last of which, while difficult is their only way out. 1 and 2 involve getting rid of the Palestinians either by killing or deporting them, clear crimes against humanity which I hope 90% of Israelis would oppose, and certainly the world would. Doing either would cost them the protection of the US and their souls. The next two involve annexing the territory either officially or unofficially. At that point they either give citizenship to the Palestinians living there or create an Apartheid state. If the former, birth rates being what they are, Israeli citizens of Palestinian descent will outnumber Jewish Israelis in a few decades and basically vote Israel out of existence. If the latter, such a state of affairs isn't sustainable once Palestinians become the majority and what happened in South Africa will happen in Israel either peacefully or violently, thus ending it as a Jewish State. Thus it seems that the only way for Israel to survive long term is to withdraw from the West Bank as they did from Gaza and leave it to its own devices retaining only such areas necessary for defense of the state which if that is their purpose should contain military installations.
Why get out of lands that is theirs, i.e., the Jewish people's?
Maybe. I would agree for a wall though. Palestinians have proven time and time again it does not matter what Israel takes or concedes. You conveniently leave out the fact that Palestinians want to and would kill every Jew should they get the opportunity. Peace is a 2 way street built on trust. How naive must one be to agree with someone that has lives to kill you the moment you drop your guard or turn your back.
I think Israel is just fed up on waiting on Palestinians to make peace and stop the violence. The world has proven time and time again it does not defend the Jews. We rejected them when they fled Nazi Germany as did many other countries. Palestinians could have created a great country alongside them but instead chose to wipe them out in order to claim all the land. They tried 6 times and failed. One has to understand the Arab culture that does not take humiliation well even if it is their fault. You can see this in what is constantly happening in the rest of the middle east. They just cannot get their thing together n order to live in a productive and progressive society. Sorry I don't buy the victimhood anymore. They could pick keaders that help them instead of the ones that are holding them back where they were 1400 years ago.
@@cosimodirondo972 Two reasons: 1. It is also the Palestinian People's who have lived there for 500 to a thousand years at least and are partly made-up of the original inhabitants, Canaanites and Jews who long ago during the diaspora lost their Jewish identity. Thus their claims are at least as good if not better than are the American People's to this country or the Protestant Irish to Ulster. 2. Something must be done with the Palestinians living there and as outlined previously the other choices for dealing with them are in violations of international law and/or crimes against humanity or would eventually lead to be the end of of Israel as a Jewish state. If there is a policy choice that would avoid these consequences and still allow Israel to retain the West Bank please enlighten me.
I agree with most of what you say, but because it’s the right thing to do. Israel was built on ideals inconsistent with military occupation. But Israel is a nuclear power so if it’s going down it will take the entire Region down with it. And possibly drag in the rest of the world. So it’s a global imperative to find a just solution.

1 - Almut Nebel's 2001 study, "The Y Chromosome Pool of Jews as Part of the Genetic Landscape of the Middle East" found that, '[T]he Y chromosomes in Palestinian Arabs and Bedouins represent, to a large extent, early lineages derived from the Neolithic inhabitants of the area and additional lineages from more-recent population movements. The early lineages are part of the common chromosome pool shared with Jews. According to our working model, the more-recent migrations were mostly from the ARABIAN PENINSULA [emphasis mine], as is seen in the Arab-specific Eu 10 chromosomes that include the modal haplotypes observed in Palestinians and Bedouins.'
2 - Jewish legal rights under international law to Israel*/Palestine had its starting point not in 1947, but 27 years earlier on April 1920, with the San Remo Resolution on Palestine (aka "Mandate Article" of the Treaty of Peace with Turkey).
After World War l, the Principal Allied Powers (UK, France, Italy, Japan, U.S.**) took possession of the territories of the defeated Ottoman Turks, who had occupied Israel for four hundred years (1516-1917). As victors in said war, they had the power of dispossession and disposition; their decision at San Remo in 1920 to reserve the land in question for the Jewish People in recognition of their connection to their ancestral homeland was confirmed by the League of Nations (the United Nations predecessor) in 1922, and it is still in force per the United Nations' Charter, Article 80. This was the beginning when the Jewish People's right to all the land west of the Jordan River was established in international law.
*The king of Moab (present-day Jordan) mentions Israel in the 9th Century BCE Mesha Stele. Israel precedes Palestine. The name of the land is Israel.
**The US was not a member of the League of Nations, but the Lodge-Fish Resolution, passed by both houses of Congress on June 1922, endorsed the Mandate for Palestine; it was then signed by President Warren Harding on September 1922.
