@@channelname-og7cf Frightening …… but why pose as a democratic State I wonder - just means to an end perhaps? And then there’s the burning issue of how it took 6 hours for the IDF to come to the defense of Israelis, despite having one of the most sophisticated security systems in the world! And then there’s the length of time it took them to even think of entering negotiations for the release of their hostages. Willing to sacrifice their own too?

My take is that Israel declared it a WAR because he plans to thereby declare all occupied land as legally owned as prize of war. Why else would he do this ,but look to clear the word occupied which he knows means it belings to the Palestinians. Then, of course if he eliminates Palestinians by death or expelling them they and then not claim their land and Israel try to claim by default. I have wondered whose name has been placed onthe official records who owns the homes and land after they violently under point of a gun, tank and bull dozer rip that home out from under the defenseless home owners. I am in great dismay and sympathy with the whole of the theft and history of the owners of the occupied land.

Thank you for sharing such a truthful, lucid and thought-provoking post. Entirely agree. The "war" between the "propoganda discourse" and the self-evident truth which Prof Khalidi speaks of is now shifting for the first time in far too many decades of abject horror, manipulation and lies. Such resistance and the long-suffering fight for freedom can ultimately only be won through political settlement as Prof Khalidi points out rather than on the battle ground. The discrepancy between the actions of the violently oppressive occupying force of the extremist nationalist Netanyahu regime responsible for intensifying decades of relentless creeping land theft, persecution, murders and now willful genocide -- and the simple truth, the reality on the ground is startling, undeniable and universally condemned by the entire world community like never before. The uninterrupted violation of the elementary territorial and human rights of the millenial indigenous Palestinian semite people over 75 years if not more is being confronted on an unprecedened scale and seems likely to lead to the escarlation sought by the Netanyahu regime. The assumption is that the US neocon regime will be willing and able to intervene successfully in the face of global outrage and an inflamed surrounding Muslim world. The stranglehold of US Israeli politicians supportive of Netanyahu's extremism on US neocon foreign policy under a weak, inept and cognitively unfit President Biden is indeed, as you highlight, the root cause of the disturbingly misguided position taken by the US at the UN -- which in no way corresponds to the views and positions of a great majority of the wonderful people of America who are in effect being duped and betrayed as they struggle with fundamental widespread social problems on the domestic front, as the US teeters permanently on the brink of government default. Paris
I’m still not convinced the Israeli govt didn’t know the attack was coming. Yes, maybe they didn’t know the full scale of it, but to be clueless about it, I have a hard time seeing it. The Israelis were uniting in record numbers against Netanyahu wanting less separation of powers and making a proposal that 2/3 of the Knesset be able to overrule the Supreme Court. It’s long been known the PM is completely opposed to a peace agreement with the Palestinians, he wants them all gone. So, what unites a people quicker and stronger than an attack from an enemy? The atrocities committed further give license to get rid of the Palestinian people once and for all.
I hate to say, but I’ve been thinking the same …. either way, there are at least three burning issues: 1. Why did it take the highly efficient IDF 6 hours to respond, despite having one of the most sophisticated security systems in the world? 2. Why did it take so long for them to agree to enter negotiations for the release of their hostages? And they were being held in the same region they were bombarding! 3. Netanyahu was already facing charges for corruption and his days in office were numbered anyway. All to gain, nothing to lose, for him. Life does not seem to matter to him, whether it is Palestinian or Israeli is irrelevant, just anyone who might get in the way of his own evil gains.
Good analysis and it coincides with many other informed intelligent minds that I’ve listened to, also I heard the book (The Iron Cage) promoted recently through the LaRouche Organization who I’ve been a member of for close to 2 years now. Thank you Rashid Khalidi
Arab historians are much wiser than the Jewish ones? I think they have many historians that explore the violence against their own people and a few that do the opposite. But how many prominent Arab historians speak of the violence the Arabs have been doing to the others?
Thank you, professor, as always. I note this was 3 weeks ago. I think there are a lot of positive developments, particularly the fact that there are demonstrations in support of Palestinian rights all over the world, including here in the United States. Biden has said there's no going back to before October 7. That tells me there are new conversations happening inside this administration that will revive peace efforts and apply real American pressure to Israel for the first time ever.
Feeling sorry does not change anything Until we as Americans accept our responsibility for active participation in the genocide and terrorism against Palestinians , nothing will change . Other videos showed me how American citizens ( whites with American accents go to Israel to do war crimes and acts of terror and return home to be just the other guy you can have a beer with !!!! 🤦🏻 WTF!!!)
Can you live as a Palestinan for a week on Israel.where your movements are monitored .when you go York if you have to get through several check points before you can get to your job
Why is Prof Rashidi not also mentioning the economic driving force? How would the usa economy suffer without the billions for arms to Israel? How important is oil and a presence close to Arab states in the usa support for Israel?
@@astroflyinsightsAs long as arabs are settling in non-arab countries jews can do the same. In Gaza and West-Bank the people are victims of Egypt and Jordan policy in 1948-1967. Some arab leaders got rich selling land to jews before British stopped migrations. Etc etc ....the professor just wants to keep his job with his propaganda studies. His method means suicide but he is safe in New York, which he hates but nicely profits from the occupation of America.
@@jasfan8247 so how come it ties in with the views of other learned professors and scholars who have researched this subject extensively, some having been born in Israel or having lived there and experienced it firsthand? Are you seriously saying they have all been misinformed? Anyway, regardless of the history, the brutality of the Israeli government and the IDF in this past 7 weeks speaks for itself. The truth has emerged without any need to even know the history.
Excellent. Many of dear Rashid's view overlaps with what we believe in Iran and many other leftist/progressive activists in the region. Could you please invite him for a new update after 1 month since Oct 7? Thanks🙏
I seek different perspectives & this has contributed to the diversity of opinion/analysis. Always remember "The Narrative" is media manipulation. We are all humans, don't buy into compartmentalziationist "divide & conquer" garbage.
There is no freedom of speech if we want to talk about assault on Palestinians. My 2 comments have been deleted which only were stating facts Israeli assault and suffering of Palestinians.
Excelent points, and explanation, all lives matter, but clearly the values of whites lives, are the onea to be morn, and make remembrance through the time.
Anyone has read Christian Bible where Jews lived in the Holy Land ( Palestine ) before they were dispersed by Roman Empire in 70AD or 70CE. Both Jews and Arabs have to share this Holy Land.
I would like to say I am sorry for my critical view of you as someone in power, however, I have found that your book was very objective and well-done . My current problem is that Palestine people are not taught self preservation being most important, now we have a terror threat here in the U.S
Dude self perseveration , with one sided ongoing slaughter and inhumane interaction …. Israel never changed its methods , it’s just doubled down on the abuse ….. imagine your next county have the most fancy things schools / heath care/ streets and your county can’t even get a clean water, electricity 3-4 hours …
BRITISH ZIONIST JEWS WERE AND STILL ARE CAUCASIAN EUROPEAN ASHKENAZI JEWS ARE ALL WHITE/ CAUCASIAN RUSSIAN JEWS ARE ALL WHITE - DID YOU KNOW THAT LENIN WAS JEWISH AND JOSEPH STALIN WAS JEWISH AND THE VERY FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE SOVIET UNION - YAKOV SVERDLOV WAS ALSO JEWISH!!! I LIVE HERE IN NEW YORK CITY JUST LIKE THIS PROFESSOR KHALID RASHIDI - AND EVERY JEW I HAVE EVER MET HERE IN NYC FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS ARE ALL WHITE…!!!
Brainwashed people, Arabs are as Semitic as Jewish people. This is Zionist propaganda anyone speaking against Israeli government becomes antisemitic. They are justifying apartheid regime ,this is an excuse to civilian killing and oppression. Don’t bring God, religion in your murdering excuse to kill innocent babies, women and children, racism and hypocrisy that all lives matter. This mainstream media narrative of CNN and Fox talking points to brand others as animals, less human, they hate us , us Vs them. This provide Israeli government to kill and genocide joe to support them with taxpayer dollars and vetoes to halt the war. No difference between Israeli government, ISIs same sick mentality you can give excuses for oppressed people ( no excuse for killing innocent civilians) out of anger frustration but Israeli government is just pure evil.
many European Jews, Ethipian Jews etc. Tony Greenstein does a good talk on Electronic Intifada about Zionist support for the Holocaust and lack of support for European Jews
Bad world comparisons By Khalidi : Algeria is NOT France ! Vietnam is NOT USA ! Ireland is NOT England ! But the claimed " Palestine" is excactly the entire state of Israel , no , not side by side , but instead ! The Algerians claimed independance from France , but did not claim France , Entirely different mater ! The "Palestinian" population was offered on several instances a side-by -side state solution , but rejected it , and still currently rejecting it ! Well , where do you think that is going to go ...
The claimed Vietnam was the entire Vietnam. The claimed Algeria was the entire Algeria. A side by side 'solution' means giving up your own homes and going to live in another state because Israel refuses to see Palestinians as human beings with full citizenship rights?
If the peace offers are so good, why are there Israeli officials, like Shlomo Ben Ami, on record as saying things like "Camp David was not the missed opportunity for the Palestinians, and if I were a Palestinian I would have rejected Camp David, as well" and who are Palestinians to do these peace negotiations with, if, in the case of Rabin, they get murdered by Israeli extremists ?
Do you seriously think there could ever be a fair agreement between the occupier and the victim? One has all the power and resources, and the might, while the victim is helpless and powerless and very far from being in an equal position to negotiate. That’s akin to asking a slave to enter into an agreement with his master - to carry out all orders without complaint - or reimbursement! If the shoe were on the other foot, would you sign?
Prof. Khalidi is obviously a scholar and a clear eyed thinker. As a Zionist Jew I get the impression that despite being an ardent supporter of the Palestinian cause and fervent opponent of Zionism and Israel, there is something in him that finds Israel and Israeli culture and nationhood appealing.
There is only one problem with the title of the lecture Palestine was never more than a region of the Fertile Crescent which had been administered by the Ottomans since 1560 The word Palestine has never denoted a nation state just as the word Kansas does not denite a nation state but a region of the USA So the title should read the 100 years war on a nation state that never existed
You are inciting to terrorism in Europe. Why should European suffer for the policy their governments apply? How can people determine the course? You will be hated for your incitment to such deeds.
Mayb get your politicians to keep their greedy fingers off the east is a hood starting point. Or else why not feel the heat from the fire you and yours hav created
Strange: there isn't even a hint that the bloodthirsty attack on hundreds of civilians by Hamas might be regrettable. This omission saps the moral credibility of every other point the professor makes. How could he not have perceived this and adjusted his argument accordingly?
It is sad that you brush off all this analysis because of the civilian casualty in Israel. I wounded if you would hold Israel, UK, USA to the same standards. It’s frustrating when people’s humanity is selective.
And the Hasbara Trolls show up in their dozens. IDF shot and killed dozens if not hundreds of Israeli "civilians". Israel gets payback for The Nakba and all we hear is the whining of Zionists. You are too stupid to figure out that you are reaping the whirlwind.
Hasbarat is a proscribed term here? Amazing. Why should anybody show respect to a lying sociopath? How about I call you a Hasbaratchik? Will that make you feel better, more like your Bolshevik Granny? Free speech no longer exists in America. The Zionists have taken it away.
The only Jews that will be saved are those who have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Ezekiel chapters 38-39 will occur first, where Islam will be destroyed. All of these wars were prophesied before Muhammad and Islam was created. These thoughts of men are irrelevant.
A noteworthy omission from this discussion is the anti Semitic chants and bigotry that has come along with the Pro Palestine marches in the major urban centres over the past couple of months. The use of extreme Islamic ideology to fuel further resistance to Israel in the future is one disturbing possible future scenario.
He doesnt quite catch the israeli conception.. the conception was that hammas wants good life, and will not take to arms if israel will let him have his money, and this conception failed. Therefore, from now on israel will take no chances of an terrorist force on israel borders.
The Arabs coopted the name Palestine from the British Mandate for Palestine. Even so, they didn't bother to actually invent "Palestine" until 1964. Before then the Arabs never mentioned Palestine. The Arab Refugee Crisis (not the Palestinian Refugee Crisis) started after the 1948 war with Israel (the Arab-Israeli War, not the Palestine-Israeli War) and continued as the Arab Refugee Crisis for the next 16 years until overnight the name Palestine was invented. I was born in 1946, so I came of age hearing nonstop the Arabs complaining about their Arab Refugee Crisis and of course blaming Israel for it. That was, and is, another Arab concoction designed to demonize the Jews. Truth is, the name Palestine comes from the Jews (the Philistines from the Old Testament). Arabs are the world's most notorious liars.
"The Arabs coopted the name Palestine from the British Mandate for Palestine" And Egypt is called Egypt because of the ancient Greeks. Whats your point ? "Even so, they didn't bother to actually invent "Palestine" until 1964 You just said they "coopted the name from the British Mandate for Palestine" but now your saying they invented it - which is it ? "Before then the Arabs never mentioned Palestine" So, depending on era, people had a different idea of themselves and how they identified, or how they were identified by others. "The Arab Refugee Crisis (not the Palestinian Refugee Crisis) started after the 1948 war with Israel (the Arab-Israeli War, not the Palestine-Israeli War) and continued as the Arab Refugee Crisis for the next 16 years until overnight the name Palestine was invented" You at least acknowledge there was/is a refugees crisis. "I came of age hearing nonstop the Arabs complaining about their Arab Refugee Crisis and of course blaming Israel for it" Should they not talk about theyre plight, and whats wrong with them pointing out the Israeli states role in this ? If you speak Arabic and/or are around other Palestinians, you'd hear them berating Jordanians, Egyptians, Lebanese, and others - its not exclusive to Israel. "That was, and is, another Arab concoction designed to demonize the Jews" How did you make this connection of them "blaming Israel" with actually being a way to "demonize Jews" ? It sounds more like you whose conflating the two. "Truth is, the name Palestine comes from the Jews (the Philistines from the Old Testament). Arabs are the world's most notorious liars." Ironically, despite your racist assertion that "Arabs are the worlds most notorious liars" you lie - the names actually Greek in origin.
You present a fine testimonial in defense of Israel, but it is now totally irrelevant in light of the monstrous brutality of the Israeli government’s actions in the past 7 weeks - and as I write this, I am looking at my TV screen and seeing people dragging the little bodies of children out of the rubble once again as the bombardment begins again. Historical facts can be disputed, but the world is witnessing history as we speak, and the truth is emerging all by itself. The monster has been exposed. You can’t possibly dispute that - but I’ve no doubt you’ll try. I’m sorry to tell you, but you have been utterly and horribly indoctrinated. Sorry.
There are ni Palestinians They are the ancestors of the Philistines. Their ancestral land is Gaza. They are sworn enemies of the Jewish people and God.
Interesting little chat. He pretending to do an independent analysis of the middle east history and the current war, no mention of Hamas and its Billionaire leadership since they are “freedom fighters” who launch unguided missiles, kidnap old ladies and even Thai workers. Talk about colonial oppression as if Jews and “white people invented it, no mention of the Arab invasion of Europe which colonized half of Spain, or the Ottoman Empire into Hungary and beyond. No its selective reading of history and simplistic ,personal history if that has any historical reference. His very tone of speech full of vitriol, and woke hater of "white people especially Jews.

Mayb get your politicians to keep their greedy fingers off the east is a hood starting point. Or else why not feel the heat from the fire you and yours hav created
Please um ignore all facts um and historical context um that don’t align um with my um narrative um.
Strange: there isn't even a hint that the bloodthirsty attack on hundreds of civilians by Hamas might be regrettable. This omission saps the moral credibility of every other point the professor makes. How could he not have perceived this and adjusted his argument accordingly?
It is sad that you brush off all this analysis because of the civilian casualty in Israel. I wounded if you would hold Israel, UK, USA to the same standards. It’s frustrating when people’s humanity is selective.
Not a serious question, You try to muddy the waters.......but fails!!!
@@pietrosseel6258except it doesn’t. He’s just another biased apologist.
And the Hasbara Trolls show up in their dozens. IDF shot and killed dozens if not hundreds of Israeli "civilians". Israel gets payback for The Nakba and all we hear is the whining of Zionists. You are too stupid to figure out that you are reaping the whirlwind.
Hasbarat is a proscribed term here? Amazing. Why should anybody show respect to a lying sociopath? How about I call you a Hasbaratchik? Will that make you feel better, more like your Bolshevik Granny? Free speech no longer exists in America. The Zionists have taken it away.
"BLS" stands for bullsh*t, right?
The only Jews that will be saved are those who have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Ezekiel chapters 38-39 will occur first, where Islam will be destroyed. All of these wars were prophesied before Muhammad and Islam was created. These thoughts of men are irrelevant.
A noteworthy omission from this discussion is the anti Semitic chants and bigotry that has come along with the Pro Palestine marches in the major urban centres over the past couple of months.
The use of extreme Islamic ideology to fuel further resistance to Israel in the future is one disturbing possible future scenario.
Long live Israel
He doesnt quite catch the israeli conception.. the conception was that hammas wants good life, and will not take to arms if israel will let him have his money, and this conception failed. Therefore, from now on israel will take no chances of an terrorist force on israel borders.

Israel is a white settler colony? Go look at the demographics of Israel Khalidi.
Sooo boring. Go read a book or two about ”israels” founders and its foundation
The Arabs coopted the name Palestine from the British Mandate for Palestine. Even so, they didn't bother to actually invent "Palestine" until 1964. Before then the Arabs never mentioned Palestine. The Arab Refugee Crisis (not the Palestinian Refugee Crisis) started after the 1948 war with Israel (the Arab-Israeli War, not the Palestine-Israeli War) and continued as the Arab Refugee Crisis for the next 16 years until overnight the name Palestine was invented. I was born in 1946, so I came of age hearing nonstop the Arabs complaining about their Arab Refugee Crisis and of course blaming Israel for it. That was, and is, another Arab concoction designed to demonize the Jews. Truth is, the name Palestine comes from the Jews (the Philistines from the Old Testament). Arabs are the world's most notorious liars.
"The Arabs coopted the name Palestine from the British Mandate for Palestine"
And Egypt is called Egypt because of the ancient Greeks. Whats your point ?
"Even so, they didn't bother to actually invent "Palestine" until 1964
You just said they "coopted the name from the British Mandate for Palestine" but now your saying they invented it - which is it ?
"Before then the Arabs never mentioned Palestine"
So, depending on era, people had a different idea of themselves and how they identified, or how they were identified by others.
"The Arab Refugee Crisis (not the Palestinian Refugee Crisis) started after the 1948 war with Israel (the Arab-Israeli War, not the Palestine-Israeli War) and continued as the Arab Refugee Crisis for the next 16 years until overnight the name Palestine was invented"
You at least acknowledge there was/is a refugees crisis.
"I came of age hearing nonstop the Arabs complaining about their Arab Refugee Crisis and of course blaming Israel for it"
Should they not talk about theyre plight, and whats wrong with them pointing out the Israeli states role in this ? If you speak Arabic and/or are around other Palestinians, you'd hear them berating Jordanians, Egyptians, Lebanese, and others - its not exclusive to Israel.
"That was, and is, another Arab concoction designed to demonize the Jews"
How did you make this connection of them "blaming Israel" with actually being a way to "demonize Jews" ?
It sounds more like you whose conflating the two.
"Truth is, the name Palestine comes from the Jews (the Philistines from the Old Testament). Arabs are the world's most notorious liars."
Ironically, despite your racist assertion that "Arabs are the worlds most notorious liars" you lie - the names actually Greek in origin.
Holly Truth Bro!
You present a fine testimonial in defense of Israel, but it is now totally irrelevant in light of the monstrous brutality of the Israeli government’s actions in the past 7 weeks - and as I write this, I am looking at my TV screen and seeing people dragging the little bodies of children out of the rubble once again as the bombardment begins again. Historical facts can be disputed, but the world is witnessing history as we speak, and the truth is emerging all by itself.
The monster has been exposed. You can’t possibly dispute that - but I’ve no doubt you’ll try.
I’m sorry to tell you, but you have been utterly and horribly indoctrinated. Sorry.
What a bunch of BS
There are ni Palestinians They are the ancestors of the Philistines. Their ancestral land is Gaza. They are sworn enemies of the Jewish people and God.
So if they’re meant to be in Gaza why are the Israeli erasing them🤔 hmm you’re such a denier ….say it enough times and it ‘seems’ like the truth🙄
Remember it's a jewish god
@@S_B_S1israelis have been killing Palestinians for the land and resources
@@amber40494 There is no other God than the God of of Israel. Islam is the religion of Satan. Palestinians are the Philistines in disguise.
Interesting little chat. He pretending to do an independent analysis of the middle east history and the current war, no mention of Hamas and its Billionaire leadership since they are “freedom fighters” who launch unguided missiles, kidnap old ladies and even Thai workers.
Talk about colonial oppression as if Jews and “white people invented it, no mention of the Arab invasion of Europe which colonized half of Spain, or the Ottoman Empire into Hungary and beyond. No its selective reading of history and simplistic ,personal history if that has any historical reference. His very tone of speech full of vitriol, and woke hater of "white people especially Jews.
