Apartheid is only possible with Egypt refusing « Palestinians » to enter their country. Yet Egypt is a Muslim country & refugees are rushing in western countries even tho most of them despise our democracies. What do you think about this ? Will you ever stop being obsessed by the Jews ? As for the West Bank, Israeli colons have to leave, like yesterday. Yet you may focus on all the slaughters perpetrated by Islamists all over the world. This should be your #1 priority if you were to expect peace. Also, Muslims have been enslaving black ppl for centuries, way more than some colonial countries did. They still consider them as second class citizens, just like they do with women. And you plead for basic human rights… it’s as much ludicrous as exhausting. I’m fed up with all the ignorance spread by what the side I used to vote for my entire life, aka the left.
In two days i was able to learn everthing about this situation. From the Balfour declaration, to the creation of Isreal in 1948, all the intifada, the selttlements in the west bank, the occupation of GAZA. After learning all of that, i was able to form my opinion. People who say is complicated are lying. They just not want you to understand the apartheid and ethnic cleansing that was happening for decades. I'm actually not proud of myself for waiting so long to get the info...
I tried to reply. I'm 68 and just needed my memory reawakened. Even saw it once, with huge navies trying to slow it. Way before Gaza. Let's hope this is last time and over before one year.
It's a lie. He is Satan's collaborator, when he takes a story, twists it around and tries to convince the Gullible to vote for the very people that bought, sold and raped Africans and now pretends to have suffered the same as his ancestors, the East African Islamists' slave traders. They is a warm spot in Hell for this liar and collaborator.
Bullshit!!! Israel doesn’t oppress the people of Gaza, Israel has all the rights to be cautious who is crossing the border. Because Israel suffers all the time from terror attacked from Gaza and the West Bank, which from some reason it’s convenient for this Chanel to forget mentioning that like running over civilians with their car, suicide bombers, stabbing people with knives etc…. I can go on and on. So who is the bully here? You want Israel to say oh it’s okay come on in and continue terrorize innocent people! This Chanel have double standards and it’s not fair to Israel and the people who live there including Muslims.
@@danielwnorowski2553 yeah kidnapping of christian women and hindu women and being forced to marry muslim men in egypt, Pakistan. Total denial of equal rights as compared to muslims. Constitution mandates that only muslims can be leaders and not non muslims. Very beautiful isn't it? Interreligious marriages between non muslim men and muslim women is banned.
There are many Jews against this and they are out there protesting and doing what they can to end this. and many are turning around once they know the truth.
And the thing is it's not even a "Jewish vs Muslim" conflict, it's just being framed that way because it incites people to support these war crimes. Much of that region and the rest of the world are just opposed to zionistic nationalist concepts. Even orthodox Rabbis speak out against that ideology because not only is it illegal, it's antithetical to Torah and God
I often can't understand how a lot of those folks keep invoking anti-Semitism. My grandfather's large estates were taken. My father was born in the West Bank, but because he was a student in the U.S. during the 6 day war, Israel deprived him of his right to live there even if he wanted to. And if Israel wants kill 10s of thousands of Gazans, they have cover from the U.S. Even if I weren't Palestinian American, I would feel very disgusted.
Passionate speech by Mr Coates. Took part in a vigil yesterday for Palestine in Australia. There are so many of us that believe in the truth of his words and we must keep standing up for truth and peace.
@@JB-ti7blyou are delusional if you think at this point the fight is about getting the hostages back. It was never ever a war about it. The whole war is aimed at capturing the whole of Gaza which is rich with natural resources.Israeli hostages are just pawns in the politics. No one bombs civilian places indiscriminately if they want to get the hostages alive. How do you know hostages were not hidden in the places that got destroyed with bombing. If they cut off water, electricity in the whole of Gaza how do you think the hostages did not perish with the civilians of Gaza.

It's a nice idea that the West , Israel, America strive for. However, violence and terror, because of jealousy and resentment, WILL not be coddled by better people. All thugs and bullies blame their hateful acts on those who do well ( Israel, Europe). Isreal makes every effort to make peace with their criminal neighbors, as Americans and Europeans try to act kindly with illegal migrants and criminals, but the " poor me " gets old. This conflict is NONE of Coates business. And his lesser educated " friends and family " w weird hotep beliefs are especially ridiculous.
I find it interesting how there is such an urgency for Israel is stop the bombing and enter a ceasefire, but what about the other side? Where are the calls for Hamas to free the hostages, or I don’t know surrender so the violence stops? And this is the problem, all these Media outlets aren’t pro-peace they are pro-Palestine and anti-Israel.

Hats off to you Ta-Nehisi Coates for your courage and principled stand. I wish i could be as courageous to express my concerns with Israeli apartheid more openly. Surely there is anti-semitism and it should be condemned vehemently and equally with other forms of discrimination, oppression, condescension against any groups of people including majority or minority populations. People should set aside their religious, ethnic, nationalistic and geographic tribalism for sake of humanity. I am willing to believe there are complexities in this Israeli-Palestinian business but do hope the Israelis realize the hardship and unfairness they are imposing on the Palestinians. The world understood what the jews endured even if it could not stand up for them as much as the Jews might have liked but certainly the Jews should be the first people to know how that kind of inhumanity feels.

I am writing to our government and talking to my friends. I am sending the link to this to everyone that I can think of. I pray that it will wake people up.

Israel has been Jewish land from thousands of years. Israel is the size of Delaware in the vast Arab world, yet for some reason they alone are the ones who need to disappear. Why? Why isn't historical Egypt's refusal to take in Palestinians a problem?
@@JB-ti7bldude quit talking about things you obviously have ZERO idea about. Having a book give you absolutely no claim to someone's land. The Palestinians have been there since the days of the Ottoman Empire and the few Jewish residents that did live there until the Ottoman Empire fell and the British took over were protected by the Arabs until Jewish settlers moved in and started massacering them. I used to be a diehard supporter of Israel until I saw Israeli settlers throwing rocks at little Palestinian girls while the Soldiers that were supposed to be protecting them just stood and watched. Israel have become no different than the national socialists between their pushing for an ethno state and saying they are superior to everyone else on earth because the Torah tells them so.

You've swallowed all the lies, huh? It's not just a book......The temple mount is what remains of King Solomon's Temple built in 950 BCE. King of Israel was Solomon's title. It's a historical FACT Israel is where the Jewish people originated. The Arab Muslims were offered a "Palestinian" state in 1948. They said no and attacked Israel on 3 fronts. They ALL lost. Egypt lost the Sinai peninsula and the Gaza Strip, Jordan lost the West Bank and Lebanon no longer had the Golan Heights area. The Arabs, especially Jordan, then told the Arab Muslims in these areas that they had to kill Jews and then the Muslim Army would come and finish them off. These people were doing just what Hamas did on October 7th. The Israelis said if you want to fight we will and came with force to stop civilians being randomly killed. The Arabs were advised by the Grand Mufti to leave, come to Jordan and we will return to get your land back. 1967. 1973. More Arab war losses with Israel winning again. The King of Jordan got tired of these discontented "refugees" living in his country. He expelled 20,000 of them, most of whom ended up in Lebanon. During this forced exit 3,000 of the refugees were killed by the Jordanian army. They ended up starting a civil war in Lebanon in the 1980s. Beruit is still in ruins because of these violent jihadists. THAT'S the Nahkba. Read the ACTUAL newspaper reports dated back then and get angry with those who have been lying to you.

biggest con and scam of: "black" reparations what an complete insult to history and our nation. one could go to the irish, the american indians and many others and say "they" deserve reparations. after 1910 for like 20-30yrs the european migrants worked for near free (slaves) in the US. taken advantage of. paid penny's a day. then deducted a penny for a bowl of cheap soup. IF you did not clean the house good enough. another deduction. my grandparents friends did that for years. and then when the wealth owner came home and IF he selected you, the house cleaner had to do anything he said. IF not, you fired. they said with bus fare to go to and from work. zero. slave labor. where is "there" reparations? how about reparations to all the victims family's from the 150yrs of violent, black male crime. rampant in the US even today. 60% of all homicides in the US are committed by blacks (12%) of the population committ almost 2/3s o all homicides. why not government reparations in compensation for the violent black males in LA, chicago and NY to the victims family's of the violent black male. do we not "owe" that to them hence we took responsibility for this 160yrs ago. if you asked 90% of blacks...they would try to sell you the garbage only "they" have had any hardships in life or problems. everyone else is just "given" money. 1964 the civil rights act made the "starting line" of life, education and work fair. NOT perfect but fair. that cost billion$. informal "reparations" for the past. now a new future for our nation and blacks. so 60yrs later ...NOPE the civil rights act wqas not enough for the blacks. 2023 still with their hand our for something free coming up with "newest" ideas a year or so before an election..go figure..imagine that..cr try to provide some "excuse" of history just to swindle some cold cash. yes: more hand outs and free-b's to blacks "just because" will fix the issue. most their cash would be gone in a year or 2 and then they will run back to media with "another" claim for a free-b and handout.
I'm so glad Mr. Coates talked about Hebron, which was a bustling village before the Nakba. There's a short YT doc video made by a young American Palestinian, whose father was born there but left when he was a small boy. Palestinians aren't allowed to return, so she went to Hebron with a small crew and two former IDF soldiers gave her a tour. She took video for her father, and he recalled the streets and told what Hebron was like. He teared up. Of course, the two Jewish tour guides (against the apartheid), had total mobility. They showed her the street Mr. Coates talks about; all shops are closed; it's deserted. She interviewed a Palestinian man whose house has a checkpoint. Imagine, every time he leaves or comes home, he must stop at checkpoint to show papers. It's cruel, shocking, and surreal. Another video about S. Africa's apartheid includes a split screen comparing S. African and Israeli apartheid. I couldn't believe it, but Israelis have committed atrocities which S. Africa didn't. It shows how Israel "fine-tuned" its apartheid based on S. Africa's model. BTW, if anyone's interested but can't find these vids, pls lmk and I'll search my long YT history.
Nah, he's a pathetic race grifter. Even though Coates happens to be correct on this one particular issue, he undermines the cause by attaching his name to it.

Hitler also allowed elections, after purging his political opponents.
@@TheHuxleyAgnostic Using Hitler in comparison to any actions of Israel shows a blindness and ignorance that can't be reasoned with 🤦♂️. They were given full authority of their area of the Levant and chose to elect an officially recognized terrorist organization so heinous that none of their fellow Arab Muslim countries will allow them in. A terrorist organization that literally has genocide of ALL Jews, not just in Israel, written in their charter. The only ethnic cleansing Israel did was when they forced all the Jews to leave their homes in Gaza. An area that was the homeland of Hebrews for thousands of years prior to Arab settlement through Muslim conquest, colonialism, and expansion that most Jews were forced to leave due to ethnic cleansing by the Romans. An area Jews were forced to resettle due to ethnic cleansing of Jews in Europe by your buddy with the funny mustache. An area that they shared with Arab Muslims until the Arab Muslims decided, through several different wars, that they wanted to ethnically cleanse the place of Jews. The Jews now have more land through miraculously winning those wars. A land they still share with any Muslim Arab who doesn't have an interest in genocide, Arabs Muslims who have full citizenship and participate in the government and the military.

This man is a phenomenal thinker, writer and speaker. I am so glad I got to see and hear him give his opinion on the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. I agree with him.
The Arabs continue to hoodwink the world with false narratives. The problem Israel has is that it is a democracy and does not deal in lies. On the other hand, very few people have the patience, even 5 minutes to learn and understand the crux of the Israel-Palestine problem. I'm sorry that Israel will win both the force of argument and the argument of force!
he's so full of crap. less than 10 years ago he championed israel's existance and the right of jews to return to the land as a model for reparations in his oh so brilliant atlantic article. now he says this? tryna say the palestinian struggle is the black struggle? looks like his ethics and morality sway where the modern winds blow
From descriptions, Israel sounds like the most racist place on earth. Seeing what they've been doing to the innocent Palestinian civilians in the past few weeks and past few decades, it appears totally true. Granted, I know this probably doesn't apply to everyone who lives there but it must be true to the majority who have normalised this behaviour.
20 percent of israelis are palestenian muslims. All races and religions are allowed to live there. You dont make any sense. Are gay people allowed to exist in gaza?
That's the only option they have in order to maintain a Zionist Jewish state in Arab world. Oppression is unavoidable for total control of land and hostile population.
This is confusing. Kendi taught me that I can tell whether I'm racist or not simply by looking at the color of my skin. Yet many Jews in Israel have brown skin and very similar DNA to the majority of Palestinians. But you're probably right. Whipping out the race card should totally convince Israelis to lay down their guns and let Hamas torture and mutilate more people on their next Oct 7 day of Hamas fun.
@chookster77 Israel has Arab members of the Keneset, has an Arab supreme Court Justice, and doesn't execute people for being gay. Think you can find something similar from Morocco to Afghanistan?
Having had the fortune of being born and raised in what is arguably the most secular country in the world, I must say that this situation is alien to me, and will only be solved of a secular, democratic, non-apartheid state is created in Palestine, where both the indigenous people and new immigrants will have EQUAL rights.

John 4:7-10 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
I am grateful to live during the lifetime of Ta-Nehisi Coates. His words are pure poetry. I can't think of someone greater at communicating ideas living right now.
Because what Hamas did that day has never been done ... anywhere but back during the actual Nazi days. Unfortunately, Israel has projected their fear onto the innocent lives of Gaza
Because of politics, if you are on the side of the imperialist west, you are a freedom fighter and they will support you even if you are the aggressor. If you are not on the side of the imperialist west, fighting for your freedom from an oppressor, you are labeled a terrorist. Ukraine people are freedom fighters, Palestinians are terrorists........ Think about it.

So many colonial, imperial and apartheid political entities have established themselves in foreign lands throughout history only to witness different outcomes. The vast majority of them ultimately failed because they couldn’t establish roots necessary for their sustenance. Roman provinces in the Levant, the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem during the crusades, the many European posts in Africa, the European outposts in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Macao and the Spanish and Portuguese colonies in the new world are few just examples. The latest example is apartheid South Africa. The American example had a different outcome because of the overwhelming superiority of the occupier compared to the occupied. It is time for the occupiers of Palestine to realize this fact and spare us the anguish of this perpetual war what has been going on for a full century and acknowledge that God is not a real-estate agent. Delivering them from bondage of ancient Egypt to the Promised Land doesn’t mean taking lands that belong to others.
The comments justifying atrocities on Oct 7th are appalling. If this is what "decolonization" looks like, someone has failed to learn any lessons of the last century.
@@ploughjoggerWhy do the atrocities of Oct 7th deserve more condemnation than the atrocities commited by Israel before and after that ?

Benjamin Netanyahu: 'America is a thing you can move very easily' : “I know what America is," Netanyahu told a group of terror victims, apparently not knowing his words were being recorded. "America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction. They won't get in their way." “Netanyahu also bragged how he undercut the peace process when he was prime minister during the Clinton administration. "They asked me before the election if I'd honor [the Oslo accords]," he said. "I said I would, but ... I'm going to interpret the accords in such a way that would allow me to put an end to this galloping forward to the '67 borders. How did we do it? Nobody said what defined military zones were. Defined military zones are security zones; as far as I'm concerned, the entire Jordan Valley is a defined military zone. Go argue." Source : Washington Post, Haaretz, Business Insider, etc

Apartheid is only possible with Egypt refusing « Palestinians » to enter their country.
Yet Egypt is a Muslim country & refugees are rushing in western countries even tho most of them despise our democracies.

Will you ever stop being obsessed by the Jews ?
As for the West Bank, Israeli colons have to leave, like yesterday.
Yet you may focus on all the slaughters perpetrated by Islamists all over the world. This should be your #1 priority if you were to expect peace.
Also, Muslims have been enslaving black ppl for centuries, way more than some colonial countries did. They still consider them as second class citizens, just like they do with women. And you plead for basic human rights… it’s as much ludicrous as exhausting.

“I understood the rage that comes when you have a history of oppression… the anger… humiliation…”
Bullshit!!! Israel doesn’t oppress the people of Gaza, Israel has all the rights to be cautious who is crossing the border. Because Israel suffers all the time from terror attacked from Gaza and the West Bank, which from some reason it’s convenient for this Chanel to forget mentioning that like running over civilians with their car, suicide bombers, stabbing people with knives etc…. I can go on and on. So who is the bully here? You want Israel to say oh it’s okay come on in and continue terrorize innocent people!

Much of that region and the rest of the world are just opposed to zionistic nationalist concepts. Even orthodox Rabbis speak out against that ideology because not only is it illegal, it's antithetical to Torah and God
I often can't understand how a lot of those folks keep invoking anti-Semitism. My grandfather's large estates were taken.

Did your vigil include calling on HAMAS to release all hostages?
@@JB-ti7blyou are delusional if you think at this point the fight is about getting the hostages back. It was never ever a war about it.

It's a nice idea that the West , Israel, America strive for. However, violence and terror, because of jealousy and resentment, WILL not be coddled by better people. All thugs and bullies blame their hateful acts on those who do well ( Israel, Europe).

Surely there is anti-semitism and it should be condemned vehemently and equally with other forms of discrimination, oppression, condescension against any groups of people including majority or minority populations. People should set aside their religious, ethnic, nationalistic and geographic tribalism for sake of humanity. I am willing to believe there are complexities in this Israeli-Palestinian business but do hope the Israelis realize the hardship and unfairness they are imposing on the Palestinians. The world understood what the jews endured even if it could not stand up for them as much as the Jews might have liked but certainly the Jews should be the first people to know how that kind of inhumanity feels.

The Arab Muslims were offered a "Palestinian" state in 1948. They said no and attacked Israel on 3 fronts.
They ALL lost. Egypt lost the Sinai peninsula and the Gaza Strip, Jordan lost the West Bank and Lebanon no longer had the Golan Heights area.
The Arabs, especially Jordan, then told the Arab Muslims in these areas that they had to kill Jews and then the Muslim Army would come and finish them off.
These people were doing just what Hamas did on October 7th. The Israelis said if you want to fight we will and came with force to stop civilians being randomly killed.
The Arabs were advised by the Grand Mufti to leave, come to Jordan and we will return to get your land back.
1967. 1973. More Arab war losses with Israel winning again.
The King of Jordan got tired of these discontented "refugees" living in his country. He expelled 20,000 of them, most of whom ended up in Lebanon. During this forced exit 3,000 of the refugees were killed by the Jordanian army.
They ended up starting a civil war in Lebanon in the 1980s. Beruit is still in ruins because of these violent jihadists.

biggest con and scam of:
"black" reparations
what an complete insult to history and our nation. one could go to the irish, the american indians and many others and say "they" deserve reparations.
after 1910 for like 20-30yrs the european migrants worked for near free (slaves) in the US. taken advantage of. paid penny's a day. then deducted a penny for a bowl of cheap soup.
IF you did not clean the house good enough. another deduction. my grandparents friends did that for years. and then when the wealth owner came home and IF he selected you, the house cleaner had to do anything he said. IF not, you fired.
they said with bus fare to go to and from work. zero. slave labor. where is "there" reparations?
how about reparations to all the victims family's from the 150yrs of violent, black male crime. rampant in the US even today.
60% of all homicides in the US are committed by blacks (12%) of the population committ almost 2/3s o all homicides.
why not government reparations in compensation for the violent black males in LA, chicago and NY to the victims family's of the violent black male. do we not "owe" that to them hence we took responsibility for this 160yrs ago.
if you asked 90% of blacks...they would try to sell you the garbage only "they" have had any hardships in life or problems. everyone else is just "given" money.
1964 the civil rights act made the "starting line" of life, education and work fair. NOT perfect but fair. that cost billion$. informal "reparations" for the past. now a new future for our nation and blacks.
so 60yrs later ...NOPE the civil rights act wqas not enough for the blacks.
2023 still with their hand our for something free coming up with "newest" ideas a year or so before an election..go figure..imagine that..cr try to provide some "excuse" of history just to swindle some cold cash.
yes: more hand outs and free-b's to blacks "just because" will fix the issue.
most their cash would be gone in a year or 2 and then they will run back to media with "another" claim for a free-b and handout.
I'm so glad Mr. Coates talked about Hebron, which was a bustling village before the Nakba. There's a short YT doc video made by a young American Palestinian, whose father was born there but left when he was a small boy. Palestinians aren't allowed to return, so she went to Hebron with a small crew and two former IDF soldiers gave her a tour. She took video for her father, and he recalled the streets and told what Hebron was like. He teared up. Of course, the two Jewish tour guides (against the apartheid), had total mobility. They showed her the street Mr. Coates talks about; all shops are closed; it's deserted. She interviewed a Palestinian man whose house has a checkpoint. Imagine, every time he leaves or comes home, he must stop at checkpoint to show papers. It's cruel, shocking, and surreal.
Another video about S. Africa's apartheid includes a split screen comparing S. African and Israeli apartheid. I couldn't believe it, but Israelis have committed atrocities which S. Africa didn't. It shows how Israel "fine-tuned" its apartheid based on S. Africa's model. BTW, if anyone's interested but can't find these vids, pls lmk and I'll search my long YT history.

It is so sick when people think that the thousands of murdered innocent Palestinians is only "collateral damage!" We must not help Israel as long as they commit War Crimes!!!
Did Israel really need our billions upon billions! Where are their homeless and hungry?
Millions more are sent from all around the world…to maintain the religious illusion of the ‘second coming!’

@@BabaRumRum Yes.
@@BabaRumRum everyone knows Oct 7 was a terrorist attack! But, why all of sudden out of the blue…did Hamas decide to do a terrorist attack on Israel? Usually when this happens a person is insane (or in this case, an army of terrorist)! Why? Is the question…why now?

@@DavidG12528 What I’ve noticed is that Hamas has orchestrated a carefully planned PR blitz using Westerners who don’t really understand all of the complexities of this mess. They don’t care how many end up dying as long as they achieve their goals. I also feel that much of the blame here rests on the shoulders of the successive Israeli governments who have allowed this to deteriorate in this mess. Giving religious extremists excuses to do as they please on both sides is not going to end well.

Thank you Mr. Coates you are so eloquent and courageous to speak out.
You've done good Ta-Nehisi speaking TRUTH to power!!! And the black community is very proud of you so keep up the good work. Now if it's no trouble listen to your heart more often to reconnect with your heritage and give voice to the voiceless now go.... And speak about us your people the forgotten.

They are going team up on Ta-Nehisi Coates against his book. One of the good thing is he works for one of the UNCF or Black University hoping that the Zionist does not contributes much to those university otherwise they may demand he be fired.

Love this man, Ta-Nehisi Coates. Very smart, logical thinker
Mr. Coates I salute you! Your words and sentiments are those of a conscious human being!
Say it LOUD . . . "If Israel isn't the problem, there is no solution!"
Moral leadership when it is most needed. I’m also a descendant of enslaved Africans in America, and seeing the White House press secrets compare social justice advocates to fascists turned my stomach. Thank you for standing with the ancestors. We honor them and our descendants through our actions.
its crazy, people i felt were like minded and supported are bein irrational and robotic, its scary, maybe we went back to so called normal: to soon before dealin w/covid trauma sumpin aint rite
Especially as Israeli’s must now wear the shame of not being intellectually capable of learning the lessons of the holocaust. The Biden government in backing Netanyahu and the military in Israel with what it sees as a check mark to ethnic cleansing must also wear the atrocities as their fault and incapacity to learn. Yup jest stupid.
Coates was extremely generous in his characterization of her. My thought was that she sounds like a psychopath hiding behind polite rhetoric in a very nice feminine pretty in pink blazer. I'm glad he at least called it out as offensive. I also felt nauseated. I hear you and I'm with you. How does a nice person make excuses for executing a population of 50% children under 15 years old? 🤯
Of course they are supporting fascism. They are supporting Islamafascists who make the KKK look like choirboys.

This man is a phenomenal thinker, writer and speaker. I am so glad I got to see and hear him give his opinion on the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. I agree with him.
People like Ta-Nehisi Coates are badly needed in the world. Respect for your ethics and morality.
The Arabs continue to hoodwink the world with false narratives. The problem Israel has is that it is a democracy and does not deal in lies. On the other hand, very few people have the patience, even 5 minutes to learn and understand the crux of the Israel-Palestine problem. I'm sorry that Israel will win both the force of argument and the argument of force!

One of the BEST guest you’ve had on your show.
This man spoke calm truth
From descriptions, Israel sounds like the most racist place on earth. Seeing what they've been doing to the innocent Palestinian civilians in the past few weeks and past few decades, it appears totally true. Granted, I know this probably doesn't apply to everyone who lives there but it must be true to the majority who have normalised this behaviour.
20 percent of israelis are palestenian muslims. All races and religions are allowed to live there. You dont make any sense. Are gay people allowed to exist in gaza?
100%
That's the only option they have in order to maintain a Zionist Jewish state in Arab world. Oppression is unavoidable for total control of land and hostile population.
This is confusing. Kendi taught me that I can tell whether I'm racist or not simply by looking at the color of my skin. Yet many Jews in Israel have brown skin and very similar DNA to the majority of Palestinians. But you're probably right. Whipping out the race card should totally convince Israelis to lay down their guns and let Hamas torture and mutilate more people on their next Oct 7 day of Hamas fun.
@chookster77 Israel has Arab members of the Keneset, has an Arab supreme Court Justice, and doesn't execute people for being gay. Think you can find something similar from Morocco to Afghanistan?
This was inspirational. Bro. Ta-Nehisi you are walking and speaking in the best traditions of our ancestors. Thank you!

Neither will I. The anti-Semitic lies and historical half truths prove due to the real racism Jews have always suffered they need a homeland. 49 rich, powerful Arab & Muslim countries whose own Holy texts state that want to kill Jews....yet Israel is the aggressor? Since the 40s Arab leaders refuse to share the land & use the motley descendants of those who came to work for the British as a political excuse for Iran etc to attack the west & western values.

Thank you for speaking to the Truth of this matter, Mr. Coates. I have contacted my Senator, who advocated for Israels Right to "Self Defense", i.e. slaughter of Palestinians, and have heard nothing back. I also contacted the White House on this issue. So far, "Crickets!"
I will note that the is the first time so many people have been speaking out on the abhorrence of Israel's actions. And against the actions of the United States. There is a bit of hope in that. We must continue to speak out.

What if this is absolutely necessary so that Israel can continue to exist, though?
@@aycc-nbh7289 have you thought that idea through? Israel has the finest military in the world…they had money coming from many different directions…billions right out of our US budget!

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
John 4:7-10
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Because what Hamas did that day has never been done ... anywhere but back during the actual Nazi days. Unfortunately, Israel has projected their fear onto the innocent lives of Gaza
Because of politics, if you are on the side of the imperialist west, you are a freedom fighter and they will support you even if you are the aggressor.

“The ethics of nonviolence is the notion that violence itself is corrupting, that it corrupts the soul. I understood the rage that comes when you have a history of oppression. I understood the anger, the sense of humiliation that comes when people subject you to a manifold oppression and genocide and people look away from that. I understood how when you feel the world turns its back on you, you can turn your back on the ethics of the world. I also understood how corrupting that can be.” - Ta-Nehisi Coates

So many colonial, imperial and apartheid political entities have established themselves in foreign lands throughout history only to witness different outcomes. The vast majority of them ultimately failed because they couldn’t establish roots necessary for their sustenance. Roman provinces in the Levant, the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem during the crusades, the many European posts in Africa, the European outposts in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Macao and the Spanish and Portuguese colonies in the new world are few just examples. The latest example is apartheid South Africa. The American example had a different outcome because of the overwhelming superiority of the occupier compared to the occupied. It is time for the occupiers of Palestine to realize this fact and spare us the anguish of this perpetual war what has been going on for a full century and acknowledge that God is not a real-estate agent. Delivering them from bondage of ancient Egypt to the Promised Land doesn’t mean taking lands that belong to others.

Benjamin Netanyahu: 'America is a thing you can move very easily' :
“I know what America is," Netanyahu told a group of terror victims, apparently not knowing his words were being recorded. "America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction. They won't get in their way."
“Netanyahu also bragged how he undercut the peace process when he was prime minister during the Clinton administration. "They asked me before the election if I'd honor [the Oslo accords]," he said. "I said I would, but ... I'm going to interpret the accords in such a way that would allow me to put an end to this galloping forward to the '67 borders. How did we do it? Nobody said what defined military zones were. Defined military zones are security zones; as far as I'm concerned, the entire Jordan Valley is a defined military zone. Go argue."
