I hope that he will post a second video tomorrow of him having a similar conversation with a panel of Palestinians about the horrific events they've been experiencing for a year now. That's what he did after the first interview video with an Israeli following October 7 last year, he posted a video with a Palestinian a few days later. I wish this would have been a conversation with representatives from both sides, but I guess it must be too difficult to find people for a video like that about this conflict that could sit and have a calm but serious conversation without trying to demonize the other side. Unfortunate. I have seen many young Palestinians and Israelis speaking about the whole issue very eloquently and fairly, considering both sides and perspectives, across social media, but maybe something has changed.
Thank you! I think I'm in the middle even though the waves try to push me toward extremes. I am 100% pro-Jewish but I'm also opposed to the policies of the Israeli government. If I were at Columbia, I would attend protests and volunteer to take a shift guarding her daughter's mezuzah. The push to conflate Jewish people with the government of Israel tells people that if you oppose Israeli policies, you should blame all Jews. In an attempt to defend Israel, people are saying the middle ground cannot exist but I will continue to fight anti-semitism and the occupation.
I immediately subscribed after listening to these people speak. It’s not just about Israeli versus Palestinian political issue, and my opinion. It’s about the politics that people wanna hold onto as opposed to looking beyond that and seeing the humanity and looking for the commonality that Palestinians and Israelis, both share. This was a good introduction into the perspectives from one side, but it would be great to hear the Palestinian side. And the way that beautiful lady from Morocco summed it up, she attempted with all of her might, to better understand, the opposing side and look at them in a human way. But they refused to open up. I commend her for her courage and her determination to survive, along with her resilience, and optimistic outlook. And Emmanuel, this is an excellent platform. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to many more to come and look forward to something about the Palestinian perspective, from some of the Palestinian people as well. Peace and blessings to all🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🕊️🕊️🕊️👑👑👑
A valid point but one that is not as important to this video. The moment you get into the geopolitical weeds this all gets so complex. By taking this zoomed in approach and people centric style of video it arguably does more. Humanizing an abstract idea helps to bring attention to it and creates a different sort of context.
@grayrook8637 the issue with this video there was no uncomfortable conversation taken place. I'm well read on the topic. The video is from one perspective with everyone agreeing.
@michaeljohnson6648 I really like the line Ms. Yanai makes in her reflection on the experience "49 days of trying to get them to understand and be understood". Everyone is entitled to their opinions but when we decide on one side or another, them and us, we lose something fundamentally important and are left with something worse. That is my take on this video. Context be damned everyone's pain is valid however complex the situation. Who knows perhaps he is just as ready to cover the Palestinian side at a later date relevant to them, or just because.
This is disappointing to see from Emmanuel. Yes, these people should be heard. But nothing in this conversation was geared toward real change, like you used to do.
400? Are you just talking about those murdered specially at the Nova Music Festival on October 7? More like 1300 were killed. Babies, elderly, men, women and children. Targeted just because they were Jewish.
I don’t think it pleased anyone. This isn’t a video on the Palestine/Israel/HAMAS conflict. It’s only in remembrance of this large massacre - like 9/11. If you want a video regarding the complex nuances of the decades of war, please make it.
@@daniellecochran5210 Plenty of those have been made already, to varying degrees of accuracy. And the parallel to 9/11 is apt; for those approximately 3,000 lives taken in America, afterwards my country went on to start two different wars in retaliation, causing over 46,000 civilian deaths in Afghanistan alone, not even considering Iraq. Widespread memorialization of massacres, even when well intentioned, invite and encourage even larger massacres. The practice encourages the fetishization of pain and trauma for public indulgence - helping victims little, but allowing warmongers to capitalize on their sorrow. Grief should be personal, not made-for-TV. The dead would be better served by memorializing the brightness of their lives, not the worst days of those lives.
The citizens in Gaza openly admit that they support Hamas and hide Hamas terrorists. All Israel wanted in the beginning was the hostages back. Is it ok with you that they have not been freed?!
The headline is ‘Remembering The Nova Music Festival Massacre,’ and it does not aim to analyze or encapsulate the entire conflict. Rather, it centers on the specific tragic event that occurred on October 7th, offering a focused reflection on that moment in history. I for one am grateful for these conversations. 🥰 Sending you love 🫶🏼
My dude, if the largest slaughtering of Jews since the Holocaust doesn't make you uncomfortable, then I don't know what kind of person you are. Yes, the current conflict is polarizing. This isn't about that. This isn't about the Palestinian plight. This is about a terrorist organization invading and murdering people just because they're Jews. That's very uncomfortable.
This woman was kidnapped from her home. Do you think she should stay quiet? Is the truth making you uncomfortable? Should every Israeli talking about being taken hostage should only speak with a Palestinian by their side?
@@Avishay_G There has been no shortage of sympathy for them. Or a platform for them. They were victims that day but Oct 7th didnt just happen from thin air. Every Israeli is forced to serve in the IDF. You know what that means? They know. They participate in a society that is using apartide as a control method.
@@JesseStarrPhoto You aren’t uncomfortable with people being massacred simply for being Palestinian? That is a popular stance these days - but I don't get it.
@@Herbalattraction3000 Context matters dear. I am just pointing out what liars the media is. They weren't civilians at the festival. They make it sound like a festival we would have in America, but this is not the same.
If your response to an interview with a victim of a terrorist attack on the anniversary of that attack is to ask for context from the side that attacked her… take a step back and look at the person all of the online propaganda has made you.
Ah yes, useless conversations. A one-sided conversation that talks about empathy on both sides while discussing the atrocities on only one was neither uncomfortable nor useful. Do better.
Israel left Gaza in 2005. It was not occupied. And since then Israel brought weekly shipments to Gaza of food, fuel, provisions and medicine. All the while rockets are being fired into Israel. Israel totally left them and they still retaliated. When you mean free, what exactly do you want for them? Legitimately curious.
@@jonathanolson1185 'Not occupied'? Sure, in the same way prison guards don't occupy the prison cells. They and Egypt have blockaded all Palestinians within the Gaza Strip since 2007. 2 million people in 141 square miles? No wonder many world leaders call it an open-air prison. Yeah, Israel 'totally left them', in the same way a crazy ex-partner leaves the person they're stalking.
@@jonathanolson1185”retaliated” lol exactly… sounds like you already know who were the first aggressors and who have been from the start. Gaza was an open air prison. Israel’s blockade around the strip prevented people and goods from freely entering and leaving. You violently make claim to land that is home to a people and then treat who is left like second class citizens, tell them where they can and can’t exist freely…. And don’t expect, as *you* said, retaliation? Right lol
Extremely one-sided. Where are the palestinian voices? What about the decades of cruel occupation and ethnic cleansing of Palestine upon which Israel came to be established? Seriously, do your research and do better!
Heartbreaking Thankyou for supporting us 💕🇺🇸🇮🇱
Thank you so much for making this, Emmanuel. People like you give me hope

Very well said 🙏🏾
Also, after the Holocaust they should have had Nazis tell us their point of view
He wont.
Thank you so much for sharing this. It shouldn't be courageous to share this, but it is.
I have a dumb question: why do they wear that map if they want to live in peace? because it shows the whole map, including Gaza and the West Bank?
Thank you, Brother - for sharing your voice and panel to the world today in honoring the people of Israel.

You will be waiting a long time. He is one sided. He only cares about the experience of the Jewish. He has been very clear where his support lies.
Thank you for doing this! This was powerful!
Such strong, courageous people with powerful words. Thank you for this video on such a heartbreaking day
This video lacks the context of what is happening in Gaza

These uncomfortable conversation is needed and you doing it in a respectful way
Thank you so much for doing this!
Thank you for this❤
How many innocent Palestinians in Palestine have been killed in retaliation for those 400? Did that please Yahweh, or anger him?
400? Are you just talking about those murdered specially at the Nova Music Festival on October 7? More like 1300 were killed. Babies, elderly, men, women and children. Targeted just because they were Jewish.
