wow..honestly, he altered my perspective , i think i mistook Jewish people for Israeli government. I am really glad I came across this Video,thanks to whoever uploaded it.
Man, I love and respect Mandy so much. We must overcome our fears and seek a better world together. In our desire for a better world, more humanity is needed, not more inhumanity.
Thank you, Mandy, for speaking up for peace. I believe, as you do, that we are not conquerors but rather leaders. The land of Israel and Palestine belongs to all of the people who live there and have lived there for generations -- no matter what their ethnicity or religion. It is never too late for peace.
I understand how you feel about "our own people" and how bigotted they have become anyone who expresses an opinion or tells of a genuine experience immediately is insulted,receives hateful talkbacks and why?. Unless we face the truth we have no place here. I love this land with all my being and have been here 64 years I thank you for your message and intend to send this video all over the world.Zelda Harris
Well done, Mandy! Eloquent, enlightened, compassionate and informed. Yes, now is the time. Justice delayed is justice denied. Both Israel and Palestine deserve justice.
I hope that more Jewish artists, Jewish business people, Jewish religious and communal leaders, who love Israel - as does Mandy Patankin and as do I - would express these kinds of courageous viewpoints to their friends, relatives, whatever audiences or congregations they speak to, and help others to speak to the optimism that we need to bring peace.
More and more Jewish people are standing up and protesting the ongoing occupation. People are starting to wake up and recognize that we are all in this together as human beings and we can start working together to build a more peaceful, equitable and just society. Love humanity, not your race or ethnicity Love humanity, not your country, Love humanity, not your religion. Love humanity, not insanity! Justice for the Palestinians is justice for Humanity!
Anyone who disagrees with Patinkin, just go to some Israeli cities like Hebron & see how extreme the hatred for Palestinians is by the Jews there. How any Jew could be okay with subjecting the the Palestinians to Jim Crow-like laws on Palestinian land is beyond me. Kudos to Patinkin for speaking out. Criticizing Israel's inhumane, racist apartheid tactics does not make one anti-Semitic or a self-hating Jew. It just makes one human. -Peace
I live in Canada. I could possibly be ignorant which is why I ask a lot of questions and check out sites like Peace Now. Maybe you could help me. From what year to what year did Palestine exist? What brought it down. Who was it's leader before Arafat? What currency did it use? What was its capital? What were it's borders? Was it a member of the U.N.? Was it a member of the League of Nations? Did it have an embassy in the U.S.A.? Did any country in the world recognize it? . . .
I was grateful to watch this speech........for it showed me not Israelis are like the ones there with their guns and hurting children.........it opened my eyes to another Israeli person..........and I am grateful .......Bless you Mandy Patinkin
Mandy Patinkin, the more I get to learn about you, the more I'm starting to like you. You have intensity, warmth and a great heart. And courage as well. Qualities that also shine through in your acting characters. Saul Berenson and Jason Gideon. The only thing I don't get... sorry to say, is your singing. I understand you have to do it, but hey, bro.. please leve it to the professionals.
I guess that as a father, as a husband, as a devoted artist and for some as a friend , he is just another authority in a very intricate matter called human affairs. Humble yourself.
I wish I could understand why so many are all for hatred and war and why peace is so horrible? Is there no room for love and peace in your hearts? Are you truly so full of hate that you can never feel anything else? Hate and war only gets more hate and war. I do not understand these concepts. I get angry, all people get angry, but I have never felt hate like some are expressing. And believe me, I have lived thru some horrible things that would definitely spark some speaking into a revenge laden hate, but though I was hurt and angry, I did not act on it. And I'm better for it. You cannot control what others do, but you can control what you do. WHY does religion divide so many? I used to follow an abrahamic religion, I do NOT follow it anymore, there is too much HATE. HATE is always negative there is NOTHING GOOD ever going to come from hate. Please seek peace, at least in your own hearts. One person at time is how it always happens, ONE heart at a time. Peace.
Actually, in hebron Jews lived for thousands of years, till the massacre of the arabs that killed the jews of hebron in 1929 (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929_Hebron_massacre ) . That a few Jews returned to some properties belonging to the Jewish community is a right thaty can't be ignored. In only a very small part of Hebron Jews live, and if the army doesn't protect them they would not be safe. Peace now yes, but true peace. As arabs live in Israel, i don't see any reason why jews can't live in the Palestinian Authorities. I love the actor, but the above speach is just not the whole truth.
מי זה שמרשה למי זה ש(כאילו) מתרגם ותירגם את שנאמר כאן? לא אך מרגיז וגם לא רק בושה - אלא חרפה אמתית: לסרס מלים ומשפטים כה חשובים, עשייה כה יפה ואנושית כאילו זוכה אך ורק לרפש..
Israel is an apartheid state. It needs to be bravely reimagined by Israelis who aren't civil servants. Mandy's position is admirable, but I wonder if he understands that people like him need to dive into the details and weed out the lies that keep the apartheid state legitimate. He is perpetuating an idea of peace, but needs to know that the rationale of apartheid is a set of ideas too.
"Too many information was given to me in 2 days... I don't remember the names." etc. So, basically he doesn't know what is talking about but decency and humility won't stop him. Talk about credibility ;-)!
Since when an actor is an authority on history, policy, geography, etc.? Especially, when he lives in the safety of the United States of America... Why would anybody in their right mind listen to his b/s?
you want to boycott and when we want to boycott you, now it's a crime ? I'm an Israeli Jew from the right wind of Israel and i tell you something Mr Patinkin i don't like you at all, you don't have my respect and i hope you will never put your feet on the land of the Jewish people, So Let it Be Written, So Let it be Done
Did he also speak to the mothers and fathers who lost their children because Arabs were allowed to share the same roads. Does he think that Israel created this situation out of malice. Israel did what it needed to do to protect it's citizens.
This guy should walk around in Shchem or Ramallah or Palestinian dumps in chevron WITHOUT cameras etc and see if he makes shalom achshav... or if he ends up in a casket
As much as I love this person, listening his speech made me sick in my stamack. He does not know the history of the conflict, he is blissfully ignorant about reality of living in Israel side by side with the inhumane islmists, how dear he signing the boycott letters! Traitor!
Nicely said, Mandy. Nice to hear from someone who has been there. This is a thoughtful message of peace.
wow..honestly, he altered my perspective , i think i mistook Jewish people for Israeli government. I am really glad I came across this Video,thanks to whoever uploaded it.
God bless those who deeply believe in peace
+Rahmonjon Ibragimov god curse those who pretend to care for others but lie.
Man, I love and respect Mandy so much.
We must overcome our fears and seek a better world together. In our desire for a better world, more humanity is needed, not more inhumanity.
I was in the West Bank in 2004 and remember taking similiar feeelings such as you had . . . Thank you for speaking out.
blessed be! please make peace not war. Both sematic tribes have suffered so much. We need peace now.
Thank you. You are a real hero!
Mandy Patinkin - you are in my prayers during the part of "minim veLemanshimim...."
Thank you!
God Bless you Mandy Patinkin

He is absolutely right!!! God bless him and his family!!! Thanks forspeaking out!!
God bless you Mandy Patinkin!

I agree. Let the true leaders and the people who love "home" work together...now.
I hope that more Jewish artists, Jewish business people, Jewish religious and communal leaders, who love Israel - as does Mandy Patankin and as do I - would express these kinds of courageous viewpoints to their friends, relatives, whatever audiences or congregations they speak to, and help others to speak to the optimism that we need to bring peace.
there is no shadow in this man
Lack of Empathy, Compassion, Acceptance and Cooperation is destroying our world. We Desperately need to learn to embrace each other's differences.
Good for you, Mandy Patinkin. Looking forward to welcoming you to San Diego!
g-ma Sandra
I was in Hebron in March! Didn't see you there...
Thank you for speaking the truth.
More and more Jewish people are standing up and protesting the ongoing occupation. People are starting to wake up and recognize that we are all in this together as human beings and we can start working together to build a more peaceful, equitable and just society.

I already like Mandy, but hearing this I have so much more respect for him

It will be the future and soon. God willing. Hename
Peace will come to Israel! We were promised ! It was fulfilled! Have faith! Its only a matter of time. 🙏

He won a Tony with that voice so I’d say he is a professional lmaoooo
An honorable man.
I see that lovely comment below and echo . . "so it's illegal for Palestinians to live wherever they want" ?
I guess that as a father, as a husband, as a devoted artist and for some as a friend , he is just another authority in a very intricate matter called human affairs. Humble yourself.
Jew and non-Jews must speak out in the name of justice for the Palestinian struggle for human rights.

איזה חצוף; הוא חותם על עצומה שקוראת להחרים, וכשהוא שומע שמישהו רוצה להחרים אותו הוא זועק חמס, ומתאר כמה זה מפחיד ולא הוגן.
חוצפה.
you want to boycott and when we want to boycott you, now it's a crime ?
I'm an Israeli Jew from the right wind of Israel and i tell you something Mr Patinkin i don't like you at all, you don't have my respect and i hope you will never put your feet on the land of the Jewish people, So Let it Be Written, So Let it be Done
u are an american disneyland jew my friend. because u dont live here. u didnt grew in this israeli reality
Did he also speak to the mothers and fathers who lost their children because Arabs were allowed to share the same roads. Does he think that Israel created this situation out of malice. Israel did what it needed to do to protect it's citizens.

I don't care about all that Jewish bs , he will always be Jason Gideon to me
Very disappointing man
Why , because he walked away from Criminal Minds ? 🤣
Nonsense!
A great, brave man.
