It’s amazing finally to see people from every corner of the world to come together to learn of the truth and the painful history of Palestine. I start to believe in humanity again. Thank you so much for that.
Thank you, Professor Rashid Khalid, you & your extended family have always had my admiration for their part in the long struggle for the restoration of equal human rights and/ or sovereign rights for the Palestinians.
Professor Rashid Khalid has always been a hero of mine, like many Palestinians of any political claim, he has seen many older members of his extended family, & many friends face exile abroad as punishment from successive governments in Israel, just for reaching any prominent level in Palestinian politics! either that or many have faced assassination. The neverending cruelties of successive governments in Israel know no end.
I have just finished reading Professor Rashid Khalid's book 'The 100 Years' War on Palestine' part autobiography, part history, it is beautifully written.
@@SantirataPalestinians live under a brutal military occupation that denies them their human rights. If you visit the place you can see it with your own eyes. It is not hidden or discreet.
Glad to see and hear Professor Khalidi speak here...there needs to be vocalization of the great wrongs that are being done to the Palestinians. Great wrongs that have been done by israelis. Its time to allow the people of the land return, with peace, to their land...to their home.
The land belongs to Israel. They are it's indigenous people. They are the people to whom God gave the land. They are people to whom the world gave back the land
The Balfour Declaration is just One of the Colonization British injustices that was unleashed upon a Indigenous population living with other cultures, in relatively peaceful ways. Palestine was a growing, thriving Nation home to many.
I’m currently reading Professor Kahlidi’s book history I never learned in school in Uk. Liked the chairman’s comments “you’re on TV you’ve got to smile” a classic!
Professor Rashid Khalidi THANKS YOU for giving the UN a lecture and details explanation on the BALFOUR DECLARATION, it’s a shameful declaration that the world and youths of today needed. This Balfour Declaration should be destroyed, the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE PALESTiNE should Immediately be INSTATED . UN cannot honourably condemn the Palestine’s actions and theirs right to exists, Professor Khalidi as always gives a great factual account about the Palestinians extreme right - The British continually denials and oppression should STOP

Such a wonderful conversation and devotion by these leaders for Palestinian freedom! It is going to happen soon. Only one hiccup by Israeli person but Professor gave excellent response. Thank you.
Last Spring a video was produced at a church in Gaza City that was built over 800 years ago. The members of that congregation were celebrating Palm Sunday. There is another video on TH-cam featuring the pastor of Gaza Baptist Church, who was sharing the Gospel of Christ with the people of Gaza. Why have these people been ignored by most Christians in the U.S. ? Who bombed the King David Hotel during 1946, which killed 91 people? Seventeen of those murdered were Orthodox Jews. How was the man who planned the bombing punished for the murder of 91 people? Watch the TH-cam film “The Stones Cry Out”, which reveals the thousands of Christians removed from their homes in Palestine at gunpoint during 1948. Why do many Christians not know about this removal? Read the book “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine” by Israeli Historian Ilan Pape, who used official Israeli documents to reveal the removal of 1948.
Maybe we should rebuild Gaza as a un refuge for Christians fleeing persecution? The folks from Gaza can be absorbed by Muslim states to make room for the Christians of the world to have a fair presence. Would you agree.
@@SnowsStorm1 of course not. This would still be ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people, and they are the descendants of the first Christians who themselves were descendants of the Canaanites and their ancestors. Any real Christian honours them for their heritage. They kept Christianity going for 400 years before it was made official and legal by the Roman Empire. They and the Muslim Palestinians preserved all of the great churches for 1600 years. There were nearly 1000 churches in 1948...today there are about 10. Everything needs to be put back the way it was when it was the Holy Land and refugees of all religions were welcome there.
the majority of Christians in the US follow evangelical sects which don't recognize the Christians that came before them or their teachings. They have a different bible and believe that Israel needs to exist when the world ends, and are hoping for the world to end.
@@Waitingformarty but the OP is so concerned for Christians and is not at all using us in an attempt to turn Westerners against Israel, right? So I mean let's make room for the return of the Christians in the rebuild….some muslim leave so they can come in.
Good lecture very informative to the world ,the injustice of Palestinians for one hunded years . Britain ,America ,canada ,Australia is an off shoot of colonial settler regime. This apartheid ,stolen lands and now genocide being committed by Israel to the Palestinian. Professor Khalidi Thank you for the knowledge ,the world are informed .
Absolutely brilliant speech packed with sad realities of this world. Same criminal laws removed Armenian territories from Armenian people and transferred them to the newly established Azerbaijan after WWI and allowed the western Armenian territories to be re-annexed by Turkey. The world stood silent whilst Genocidal Alieyev and Erdugan tested the new age war weapons on innocent population of Armenian Karabakh. Prayers for peace and justice in this world.
Roubika, and now the Armenian quarter in Jerusalem is being taken by an Australian Jew due to a tricky deal that he did with a representative of the patriarch and that representative has been disrupted and forced to leave his position and I believe forced to leave Jerusalem. Yet they discovered in ancient document that said that land would stay with the Armenian people into perpetuity and yet I haven't heard any more as to whether that document is being honored or is being ignored by the Jewish Jewish State and the Jewish Australian businessman who is a thief. There are so many Jews around the world who do business in Israel and they make millions of dollars and they get away with murder. This must stop
It will be great if a movie can be made so that the world can see where the Palestinians' problems originally started. God protect the professor 🙏 🙌 ❤️
Excellent knowledge of history of Palestine and Israel by Prof Khalidi. Hope the world will help Palestine to become its own country and stop the suppression / aggression by Israel.
Underwriters of insurance policies would underwrite any Indigenous anywhere would not have a chance according to the Balfour documents that's what I get out of this lecture. Makes a lot of sense. This lecture was good to hear.
Professor Khalidi‘s authority on the history of Palestine is testimony of an egregious injustice, an injustice even magnified and made ever more legitimate since the lecture was given in November 2017, to the Palestinian people. Yet where is the UN now, in March 2024? What is its role, let alone its mandate for a people absolutely denied any form of self determination? This lecture illustrates the deep, apocalyptic hole dug by the 2017 Balfour Declaration. An excellent history lesson to seek a long overdue elaboration and revelation of historic facts and their subsequent political developments.

I especially like Professor Khalili's comment that the UN was not created to be a protection of the interests of the great powers, but of peace, just treatment, and international law.
Erm, while I am in agreement and appreciate this overall, at one point I had to ask myself "is Professor Rashid Khalidi living on a different planet?" when he spoke of UK Labour. I was a member of UK labour for 14 years and a voter of it for 21 years my friend, I can tell you now, only 4 of those years did the party ever honestly give much of a crap about the fate of poor brown people far away and that was during the tenure of Jeremy Corbyn who unlike the present leader would not have waited for 5 months and 30,000+ murdered civilians plus approval from US masters and donors to alter position and call for a ceasefire. The Labour party machinery today is the most UNPRINCIPLED barbaric corrupt malevolent and racist entity it has ever been in its history with various parts of its executive more resembling a UK branch of Likud. They are a party that is on record via Starmers lips as promising a continuation of Tory domestic economic and foreign policy if/when they win and Starmer has reaffirmed multiple bloody times he is an outright committed Zionist and has shown so by putting their interests before the best interest of party and nation rampantly throughout his tenure so I have absolutely no idea what kind of a fantasy land Professor Khalidi is living in to believe differently on that matter. UK Labour today is an absolute horror show.
When I was young, we looked highly of the British and most people wanted to be in their shoes and noble. As now I am in my 60s, U realized there are robbers cheats imperialist
So we can't say we did not know as this was almost 7 years ago This is the only forum where Justice can be sought and yet it would seem none of the major players are present
Dr. Khalidi is a gold mine of knowledge about the history of the occupation of Palestine and the colonizing Zionist movement. This was an informative lecture, and I hope to watch more such content by Dr. Khalidi.
A crucial element that must be clarified about ownership of that land, is whether the story in the bible for which there is no concrete evidence of support should be accepted in determining ownership of the land of Palestine. What happened to possession is 9/10 of law.
Let's consider a hypothetical. Let's imagine that i steal your classic car. You love that car. You wanted that car. And I take it. I then hide it in a garage before another criminal steals it from me. At some point he sells that car on the cheap to a nun who uses it to do good deeds around town. She loves that car and she takes great care of that car. Then 8 years after I stole that car, that sweet elderly nun accidentally runs a red light and when they run the plate they find it is stolen. Who's car is it? Is it yours or is it the nun. The nun isn't the bad guy but she is not the rightful owner. It might be nice to help the nun but it's still hers.
@@SnowsStorm1 The argument's an old one, the bottom line this time is that if Israel refuses to accept the restoration of equal human rights and/ or sovereign rights to the Palestinians, Israel's demise will be a lot. lot faster than the former racist & apartheid regime in South Africa.
I am saddened to see only 21,000 subscribers to this important channel. Hundreds of thousands have taken to the street in protest of Israel’s genocide upon the Palestinian people.
Get rid of the veto vote in UN 🤷🏻♀️ it should be based on majority vote! We could have had a ceasefire 4 months ago and 25,000 people might be slice today mostly women & children!
True otherwise Democracy is just a farce. 😢😢😢Feeling happy the world is changing to a multipolar world and becoming a multicultural society. God is definitely watching, and a transformation is taking place.
It turns out the death toll for women and children has been recalculated by half. It’s still too many dead at the fault purely of Hamas. Since Israel was attacked and continues to be attacked including from Gaza there could not be a ceasefire. In you didn’t notice or if you have zero regard for the hostages , they still have not been released. This is in violation of the Geneva convention and Hamas has broken so many International laws it is incalculable. How can you cease fire while you are under attack? How do expect a unilateral ceasefire? Do you think Israel can have a ceasefire with itself? Maybe you ask Hamas to surrender and give back the hostages. Israel has the right to secure their borders and an obligation to protect their people from the genocidal claws of Nazi Hamas. we will never forget the lives exterminated on Oct 7 as and the horrors peaceful citizens just going About their days endured, mass rape, being slowly burned alive, beheadings, mutilations, children executed right in front of their parents. Such genocidal hatred. no terror state with a Nazi charter based on Hitler’s ideology and this is what is taught in the UNWRA schools… passing the torch of Jewish hate.
Self-determination, justice and equity of all people. Liberty and justice for all. It’s so simple. The colonial projects of the past must be condemned to the annals of history such that we the people can contend effectively with the issues and threats confronting our species.
Glad this showed up on my phone today. (Although I already know most of the history relating to the Balfour Declaration (Ralph Wilde's excellent lecture to the ICJ, I also am aware of). It would be wonderful were this lecture given to the UK government and the US. It should also include Ralph Wilde's speak along with it, to point to the legalities involved. I also have to say that Balfour may/may not have talked about rejected Jewish refugees to England. They history shows how they welcomed in massive numbers the Jewish refugees. e.g.. in Leeds.Thanks.
Tanks to professor Rashid khalidi I learned Much mor abut Palestinians and Israelis I'm hoping all Palestinians around would can com back to their own home land to live in peace with their others judios brothers in peace
Let not forget the Memorandum at the Cairo conference in 1922 signed by the Britts Imperialists and the Arab league separating the Eastern Palestine from the Western and renaming it Trans-Jordanie and then Jordany as a compensation over the Balfour Dec. of 1917
@@Avbait-t2u; The State you live in doesn't qualify as a country, we might just decide to come occupy it. By the way you and your family may need to go... Gday
It still baffles me how and why Arabs partnered with British to fight against the Ottomans for their independence. Brits never returned someone's freedom until they are dead. The Turks already knew they cannot hold the region and I wouldn't surprise if Arabs and Turks could fight together against Europeans and then declare independence of these Arab countries. That was a very short sighted decision by all the Arab countries who suffered deeply under the European colonialism.
The British owes apology to all people of the world for the crimes they have committed around the world and created problems between countries and nations.
19:38 as far as I know Palestinians were fighting in British army against the Ottomans ( maybe a handful of them were in the Ottoman Army) It was the reason Turks beaten so badly loosing all the lands in the Middle East ruled by them for five hundred years including the Holy land Jerusalem and Mecca. Sad but true 😢
"Palestinians" no. Arab tribes, yes. But why would the Palestinians then reject the separation deal? Just so we are clear, jewish migration into the region didn't start in the British Empire, but some 30 years earlier, and to be clear, Palestinians supported the axis in WWII so that can explain the lack of goodwill later on.
@@alexmost166 that’s true. In the 1880s, Jews began purchasing land and properties across Ottoman Palestine (mainly the Jews whose expelled from Russia) despite the restrictions.
Doesn't matter Jews migrated to Palestine. No people should have to accept their lands partitioned or taken away. So if a guest is invited to your house he has a right to half your house? And if you protest then you are the bad guy? And someone completely separated from your reality decides your house is no longer your house. What would you do?
@marceloorellana5726 it wasn't a Palestinian land, they legally sold properties to the Jewish and Zionist foundation, the Ottoman empire wasn't happy but allowed it too (being the ruler for over 600 years). This is the equivalent to the US allowing immigration, then the union breaks and every states becomes a country, and suddenly the Jewish occupants are branded as not legitimate? Let's be real here. The local arabs of Palestine were zenophobic. Look at the Durze, why do you think they so passionately serve in the IDF? I understand that Palestinians as local inhabitants have a right for the territory they already occupied, I'm for a 1967 lines solution with land exchange to allow for 1948 refugees to come back. But Palestinians never had the entire land, never had a state, with leadership, with rule of law, with a military or security force, with a flag and an anthem and official language or anything. The rest of Israel is nor promised to them... they were promised a free country around the same time Israel was promised one too. Then the question of 1 or 2 states came up. Clashes between thw population made thw second option more viable. They were just residents of greater Ottoman Empire and when you look at historic records, not from the last 30 years when revisionism kicked in, they admit that whole heartedly. Lool at videos from the 50s where Palestinians don'teven call themselves Palestinians. Who does it help to make a claim for the entire land? Just more war.
19:05 well the short point of that matter is we aren't supposed to touch the ryoal flock of swans and when our pesticides and pollution are killing our own bald eagles find poisoning the food and water and overtaking habitat; we know we're most likely damaging their (our) animals and plants too that would apply to anyone's areas that we are losing anything that we might like to keep.
What about the Versailles treaty? Article 22? I understood that it gave a mandate for statehood to Palestine. It was also asserted that the Balfour declaration did not make that null and void, so legally is still Palestine? Can someone explain ?
Article 22 of the Versailles Treaty established the concept of mandates, wherein certain territories previously governed by defeated powers would be placed under the administration of advanced nations, acting as mandatories on behalf of the League of Nations. The article emphasizes the principle that the well-being and development of such peoples constitute a sacred trust of civilization. This could be interpreted in the context of supporting Palestinian statehood by advocating for the recognition of their right to self-determination and providing for their administration until they are able to stand alone. However, it's worth noting that the specific application of Article 22 to the Palestinian situation would depend on various factors, including historical context, geopolitical dynamics, and international consensus.

@@charlesayache6801 After the evacuation of Gaza in 2005; Israel have harsh, illegal military siege was imposed on Gaza made it a mass detention. Israel controls Gaza by air, sea, and land, and the tax system is not independent from the West Bank, meaning the occupied Palestinian territories are subject to a single tax system that is subject to the Israeli occupation state. Israeli warplanes and spy drones will not stop flying and reconnaissance in the skies of Gaza for a single day, intense deployment of warships off the coast of Gaza and depriving the Palestinians of extracting the gas field. What withdrawal are you talking about? The Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories since 1967, a 57-year occupation that turned into an apartheid regime. Hamas may not have recognized Israel, but the PLO did. What did you get ? Nothing. military coloniser forces and terrorist settlers attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, more 500 Palestinians were shot dead by the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank, including 100 children. There have also been attacks on Muslim and Christian holy sites by Israeli extremists. So, of course, the Palestinians resort to resistance because they see this as the only way for them to get their rights. The question here is not to dehumanize the Palestinians as it happens and call them terrorists . I think Hamas mainly attacked the Israeli military institutions and most of the people they arrested were mostly military. I do not want any civilian to be harmed by Palestinians or Israelis. what the Israeli destructive bombardment doing right now in Gaza, they slaughtered more than 36,000 civilians, wounded more than 80,000 civilians, and turned hospitals into mass graves. Hundreds of wounded and displaced people were executed and buried in cold blood. They are bombing and shelling houses and leveling them to the ground. Hundreds of families have been killed as a result of this bombing. Since the 2006 siege of Gaza, Israel has waged five wars against Gaza 2008, 2012, 2014, 2021, and 2023. they destroyed everything. There is only one path that must be imposed by the international community and that is to end the occupation and the abhorrent Israeli apartheid regime.

What did the Britain get? And how did that affect the Jewish people in Germany whom had great power in German government when the Belford agreement with the Jews came to light.
Britain and the powers must own their mistakes and revert them at whatever cost. This will not go away, there is no two state solution, there is no middle ground. Only a one state Palestine is viable within which all of its citizens of any religion must have absolutely equal rights. This can only be achieved through an abject meaningful apology alongside reparations to the indigenous Palestinians in the double figure $Trillions. This or incessant never ending war which will of course lead to a nuclear one affecting us all.
Asking the Palestinians to negotiate with Isreal to grant them self determination - is like requiring the prisoner to negotiating with the prison warden to be set free.
We have been denied access to an online lecture given by the Professor at the University of Vienna in the middle of May 24, and this is only a part of oppression going on there for the last months. Shame on the University for this cutting of the freedom of teaching or doctrine !
Professor Rashid Khalidi is simply AWESOME 💐💐💐
It’s amazing finally to see people from every corner of the world to come together to learn of the truth and the painful history of Palestine. I start to believe in humanity again. Thank you so much for that.
Love the book 100 years war on Palestine ...its an amazing book....i have learned so much....thanks professor Khalidi.
Long love Palestine
He left out the first 1,300 years of that war. The part waged against Jews, Christians and Hindus.
Thank you, Professor Rashid Khalid, you & your extended family have always had my admiration for their part in the long struggle for the restoration of equal human rights and/ or sovereign rights for the Palestinians.
Wishing the professor long life and good health to tell the truth about the plight of the Palestinian people for over 100 years❤
BELLISIMO! “I am not a diplomat therefore I can say it.” BRAVO!
Professor Rashid Khalidi has always been a hero of mine.
Read his books.
Watching from Somalia.
Professor Rashid Khalid has always been a hero of mine, like many Palestinians of any political claim, he has seen many older members of his extended family, & many friends face exile abroad as punishment from successive governments in Israel, just for reaching any prominent level in Palestinian politics! either that or many have faced assassination.
The neverending cruelties of successive governments in Israel know no end.
I have just finished reading Professor Rashid Khalid's book 'The 100 Years' War on Palestine' part autobiography, part history, it is beautifully written.
Good lecture and hopefully I triggers a halt to the current mayhem. ❤
This is the injustice of our time, and now is the time to right that wrong.
Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@SantirataPalestinians live under a brutal military occupation that denies them their human rights. If you visit the place you can see it with your own eyes. It is not hidden or discreet.
@@suelongstaff9297 I see Gasa has been free for almost 20 years and swindelled it. Greedy.
Glad to see and hear Professor Khalidi speak here...there needs to be vocalization of the great wrongs that are being done to the Palestinians. Great wrongs that have been done by israelis. Its time to allow the people of the land return, with peace, to their land...to their home.
From the river to the sea Palestine shall be free!
Yes, that being done to the arabs and jews BY Hamas - ISIS!
The land belongs to Israel. They are it's indigenous people. They are the people to whom God gave the land. They are people to whom the world gave back the land
The Balfour Declaration is just One of the Colonization British injustices that was unleashed upon a Indigenous population living with other cultures, in relatively peaceful ways.
Palestine was a growing, thriving Nation home to many.
Both People ARE Indigenous…..
AMAZING INSIGHT!
A MUST WATCH VERSION FOR HISTORY AS IS!
NOT DISTORTED!
Amazing meeting, amazing lecture and responses to the questions.
I’m currently reading Professor Kahlidi’s book history I never learned in school in Uk. Liked the chairman’s comments “you’re on TV you’ve got to smile” a classic!
Professor Rashid Khalidi THANKS YOU for giving the UN a lecture and details explanation on the BALFOUR DECLARATION, it’s a shameful declaration that the world and youths of today needed. This Balfour Declaration should be destroyed, the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE PALESTiNE should Immediately be INSTATED . UN cannot honourably condemn the Palestine’s actions and theirs right to exists, Professor Khalidi as always gives a great factual account about the Palestinians extreme right - The British continually denials and oppression should STOP
Thank you Prof Rashida Khalid.
One million protested against genocide and freedom for Palestine occured yesterday in London England.
Blessings to them

If you ever wondered what you would have done to prevent
The Holocaust in Nazi Germany 🇩🇪
Ask your self WHAT are you doing now
Are you a mere spectator watching a Holocaust in Gaza ?
Or are you doing what you would have done to prevent
The Nazi Holocaust in Germany ?
This is the stench and stain that will be remembered way past when the atrocities of WW2 are forgotten because this king of horrors amongst horrors is preserved in Technicolor,HI FI ,TICK TOCK ,X,TH-cam,WHATSAPP ,FACEBOOK AND EVERY OTHER PLATFORM THAT EXISTS IN 2023 most notable in peoples minds,pics,and first hand vivid accounts of people from ages 5 to 105 ,A stain so vulgar that if it were not recorded people,human beings in the future would doubt its sheer satanic evil . The ZIONIST EXTREMIST STATE OF GOVERNMENT OF ISREALHELL and the IDF have superseded the HORRORS AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY of all previous Wars combined .
Turn around and look at your beautiful children,see them smile feel the tingle of your heartstrings being pulled in a thousand melodies that shimmer and glisten in your eyes NOW imagine if you blink for ten minutes and your first child is bombed and crushed in front of you ,you are terrified,your heart is shattering in to a million pieces yet you must hold on to a million shattered pieces for your other 3 children with the full knowledge that the next child is going to die an equally horrific death and you cannot do anything but wait and watch another child blown to smithereens after 10 minutes ,STOP 🛑 it’s just your overactive imagination BUT it’s happening right now to a mother and children in Gaza and this mother cannot STOP 🛑
IT’S real and it’s continuous. If you are silent you a guilty by your silence and guilty of abandoning the plight of a human being in need of your help in the darkest hours and seconds of their life . YOUR VOICE means everything,your shout means everything IT represents a sliver of HOPE . So don’t stand by ,STAND UP and be counted . ❤️❤️❤️🇵🇸🇵🇸

Such a wonderful conversation and devotion by these leaders for Palestinian freedom! It is going to happen soon. Only one hiccup by Israeli person but Professor gave excellent response. Thank you.
Last Spring a video was produced at a church in Gaza City that was built over 800 years ago. The members of that congregation were celebrating Palm Sunday. There is another video on TH-cam featuring the pastor of Gaza Baptist Church, who was sharing the Gospel of Christ with the people of Gaza. Why have these people been ignored by most Christians in the U.S. ?
Who bombed the King David Hotel during 1946, which killed 91 people? Seventeen of those murdered were Orthodox Jews. How was the man who planned the bombing punished for the murder of 91 people?
Watch the TH-cam film “The Stones Cry Out”, which reveals the thousands of Christians removed from their homes in Palestine at gunpoint during 1948. Why do many Christians not know about this removal? Read the book “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine” by Israeli Historian Ilan Pape, who used official Israeli documents to reveal the removal of 1948.
Maybe we should rebuild Gaza as a un refuge for Christians fleeing persecution? The folks from Gaza can be absorbed by Muslim states to make room for the Christians of the world to have a fair presence. Would you agree.
@@SnowsStorm1 of course not. This would still be ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people, and they are the descendants of the first Christians who themselves were descendants of the Canaanites and their ancestors.
Any real Christian honours them for their heritage. They kept Christianity going for 400 years before it was made official and legal by the Roman Empire. They and the Muslim Palestinians preserved all of the great churches for 1600 years. There were nearly 1000 churches in 1948...today there are about 10.
Everything needs to be put back the way it was when it was the Holy Land and refugees of all religions were welcome there.
the majority of Christians in the US follow evangelical sects which don't recognize the Christians that came before them or their teachings. They have a different bible and believe that Israel needs to exist when the world ends, and are hoping for the world to end.
@@SnowsStorm1 No, I would not agree
@@Waitingformarty but the OP is so concerned for Christians and is not at all using us in an attempt to turn Westerners against Israel, right? So I mean let's make room for the return of the Christians in the rebuild….some muslim leave so they can come in.
It is a pleasure to see and listen profesor Khalidi...
Good lecture very informative to the world ,the injustice of Palestinians for one hunded years .
Britain ,America ,canada ,Australia is an off shoot of colonial settler regime.
This apartheid ,stolen lands and now genocide being committed by Israel to the Palestinian.

Absolutely brilliant speech packed with sad realities of this world.
Same criminal laws removed Armenian territories from Armenian people and transferred them to the newly established Azerbaijan after WWI and allowed the western Armenian territories to be re-annexed by Turkey.
The world stood silent whilst Genocidal Alieyev and Erdugan tested the new age war weapons on innocent population of Armenian Karabakh.
Prayers for peace and justice in this world.
Roubika, and now the Armenian quarter in Jerusalem is being taken by an Australian Jew due to a tricky deal that he did with a representative of the patriarch and that representative has been disrupted and forced to leave his position and I believe forced to leave Jerusalem. Yet they discovered in ancient document that said that land would stay with the Armenian people into perpetuity and yet I haven't heard any more as to whether that document is being honored or is being ignored by the Jewish Jewish State and the Jewish Australian businessman who is a thief. There are so many Jews around the world who do business in Israel and they make millions of dollars and they get away with murder. This must stop
What an elite highly scholarly intellectual gathering may God bless the main speakers 🤲
Great conclave and lecture reflecting great academic expertise.
It will be great if a movie can be made so that the world can see where the Palestinians' problems originally started. God protect the professor 🙏 🙌 ❤️
Excellent knowledge of history of Palestine and Israel by Prof Khalidi.
Hope the world will help Palestine to become its own country and stop the suppression / aggression by Israel.
Thank you for sharing….
Underwriters of insurance policies would underwrite any Indigenous anywhere would not have a chance according to the Balfour documents that's what I get out of this lecture. Makes a lot of sense. This lecture was good to hear.
I'm not following you. The Jews are indigenous to judea.
Professor Khalidi‘s authority on the history of Palestine is testimony of an egregious injustice, an injustice even magnified and made ever more legitimate since the lecture was given in November 2017, to the Palestinian people. Yet where is the UN now, in March 2024? What is its role, let alone its mandate for a people absolutely denied any form of self determination? This lecture illustrates the deep, apocalyptic hole dug by the 2017 Balfour Declaration. An excellent history lesson to seek a long overdue elaboration and revelation of historic facts and their subsequent political developments.

Thank you very much!
I especially like Professor Khalili's comment that the UN was not created to be a protection of the interests of the great powers, but of peace, just treatment, and international law.
The Great Powers are the only ones that can even begin to guarantee those things.
NOTICE THAT THIS LECTURE by Professor Rashid Khalidi TOOK PLACE on 2 November 2017.
Dr. Khalidi is the GOAT. Respect to his entire family
Erm, while I am in agreement and appreciate this overall, at one point I had to ask myself "is Professor Rashid Khalidi living on a different planet?" when he spoke of UK Labour.
I was a member of UK labour for 14 years and a voter of it for 21 years my friend, I can tell you now, only 4 of those years did the party ever honestly give much of a crap about the fate of poor brown people far away and that was during the tenure of Jeremy Corbyn who unlike the present leader would not have waited for 5 months and 30,000+ murdered civilians plus approval from US masters and donors to alter position and call for a ceasefire.
The Labour party machinery today is the most UNPRINCIPLED barbaric corrupt malevolent and racist entity it has ever been in its history with various parts of its executive more resembling a UK branch of Likud. They are a party that is on record via Starmers lips as promising a continuation of Tory domestic economic and foreign policy if/when they win and Starmer has reaffirmed multiple bloody times he is an outright committed Zionist and has shown so by putting their interests before the best interest of party and nation rampantly throughout his tenure so I have absolutely no idea what kind of a fantasy land Professor Khalidi is living in to believe differently on that matter.
UK Labour today is an absolute horror show.
I completely agree. The Prof is getting the wrong info on Labour who have followed in lock step with the US.
Well said ! I wonder if Prof Khalidi is now better informed concerning UK Labour than he was seven years ago.
When I was young, we looked highly of the British and most people wanted to be in their shoes and noble.
As now I am in my 60s, U realized there are robbers cheats imperialist
So we can't say we did not know as this was almost 7 years ago
This is the only forum where Justice can be sought and yet it would seem none of the major players are present
The major players are full of arrogance…
Seriously awe-inspiring ❤
درودبرشما دوستان خوب متشکرم ازهمکاری شما

The occupation began prior to 1948 not just 1967. Confiscations of additional lands prior to statehood should be properly and justly addressed.
Best explanation of the current situation I’ve ever heard. Brilliant talk.
Dr. Khalidi is a gold mine of knowledge about the history of the occupation of Palestine and the colonizing Zionist movement. This was an informative lecture, and I hope to watch more such content by Dr. Khalidi.
The security council must get reorganized to reach real justice in the organisation.
No more permanent member vetoes
A crucial element that must be clarified about ownership of that land, is whether the story in the bible for which there is no concrete evidence of support should be accepted in determining ownership of the land of Palestine. What happened to possession is 9/10 of law.
''Many Zionists don't believe in a God but they believe he gave them Palestine.''
A quote by Israel-born Jewish historian Ilan Pappe.
If possession is 9/10th Israel possesses it.
Let's consider a hypothetical. Let's imagine that i steal your classic car. You love that car. You wanted that car. And I take it. I then hide it in a garage before another criminal steals it from me. At some point he sells that car on the cheap to a nun who uses it to do good deeds around town. She loves that car and she takes great care of that car. Then 8 years after I stole that car, that sweet elderly nun accidentally runs a red light and when they run the plate they find it is stolen.
Who's car is it? Is it yours or is it the nun. The nun isn't the bad guy but she is not the rightful owner. It might be nice to help the nun but it's still hers.
@@SnowsStorm1 NO.
@@SnowsStorm1 The argument's an old one, the bottom line this time is that if Israel refuses to accept the restoration of equal human rights and/ or sovereign rights to the Palestinians, Israel's demise will be a lot. lot faster than the former racist & apartheid regime in South Africa.
More like this please
We thank professor for information

I am saddened to see only 21,000 subscribers to this important channel. Hundreds of thousands have taken to the street in protest of Israel’s genocide upon the Palestinian people.
Get rid of the veto vote in UN 🤷🏻♀️ it should be based on majority vote! We could have had a ceasefire 4 months ago and 25,000 people might be slice today mostly women & children!
Exactly that!! What is the freaking point of the commission otherwise?
Agreed!
True otherwise Democracy is just a farce. 😢😢😢Feeling happy the world is changing to a multipolar world and becoming a multicultural society. God is definitely watching, and a transformation is taking place.
It turns out the death toll for women and children has been recalculated by half. It’s still too many dead at the fault purely of Hamas. Since Israel was attacked and continues to be attacked including from Gaza there could not be a ceasefire. In you didn’t notice or if you have zero regard for the hostages , they still have not been released. This is in violation of the Geneva convention and Hamas has broken so many International laws it is incalculable. How can you cease fire while you are under attack? How do expect a unilateral ceasefire? Do you think Israel can have a ceasefire with itself?
Maybe you ask Hamas to surrender and give back the hostages. Israel has the right to secure their borders and an obligation to protect their people from the genocidal claws of Nazi Hamas.
we will never forget the lives exterminated on Oct 7 as and the horrors peaceful citizens just going
About their days endured, mass rape, being slowly burned alive, beheadings, mutilations, children executed right in front of their parents. Such genocidal hatred.
no terror state with a Nazi charter based on Hitler’s ideology and this is what is taught in the UNWRA schools… passing the torch of Jewish hate.
Good Mr khalid
Self-determination, justice and equity of all people.
Liberty and justice for all. It’s so simple. The colonial projects of the past must be condemned to the annals of history such that we the people can contend effectively with the issues and threats confronting our species.
It is very powerful, powerful, and shame on the so-called big powers
Can't burry the truth we are learning a lot
Glad this showed up on my phone today. (Although I already know most of the history relating to the Balfour Declaration (Ralph Wilde's excellent lecture to the ICJ, I also am aware of). It would be wonderful were this lecture given to the UK government and the US. It should also include Ralph Wilde's speak along with it, to point to the legalities involved. I also have to say that Balfour may/may not have talked about rejected Jewish refugees to England. They history shows how they welcomed in massive numbers the Jewish refugees. e.g.. in Leeds.Thanks.
It is well known in documented that Balfour was a straight-up 100% anti-semite. HE couldn't stand Jews. He of course was not alone in that sentiment.
Well said sir
Tanks to professor Rashid khalidi I learned Much mor abut Palestinians and Israelis I'm hoping all Palestinians around would can com back to their own home land to live in peace with their others judios brothers in peace
Let not forget the Memorandum at the Cairo conference in 1922 signed by the Britts Imperialists and the Arab league separating the Eastern Palestine from the Western and renaming it Trans-Jordanie and then Jordany as a compensation over the Balfour Dec. of 1917
Jordan/ Trans Jordan is Syria, much of the new countries in the Middle East were imposed by colonial powers after WW1 & WW2.

It still baffles me how and why Arabs partnered with British to fight against the Ottomans for their independence. Brits never returned someone's freedom until they are dead. The Turks already knew they cannot hold the region and I wouldn't surprise if Arabs and Turks could fight together against Europeans and then declare independence of these Arab countries. That was a very short sighted decision by all the Arab countries who suffered deeply under the European colonialism.
The British are good liars. They did it in Africa, Australia, America, Europe and in Asia. Should not be surprising to you.
If we all had crystal balls.
The British owes apology to all people of the world for the crimes they have committed around the world and created problems between countries and nations.
Brava!

19:38 as far as I know Palestinians were fighting in British army against the Ottomans ( maybe a handful of them were in the Ottoman Army) It was the reason Turks beaten so badly loosing all the lands in the Middle East ruled by them for five hundred years including the Holy land Jerusalem and Mecca. Sad but true 😢
"Palestinians" no. Arab tribes, yes. But why would the Palestinians then reject the separation deal? Just so we are clear, jewish migration into the region didn't start in the British Empire, but some 30 years earlier, and to be clear, Palestinians supported the axis in WWII so that can explain the lack of goodwill later on.
@@alexmost166 that’s true. In the 1880s, Jews began purchasing land and properties across Ottoman Palestine (mainly the Jews whose expelled from Russia) despite the restrictions.
Doesn't matter Jews migrated to Palestine. No people should have to accept their lands partitioned or taken away. So if a guest is invited to your house he has a right to half your house? And if you protest then you are the bad guy? And someone completely separated from your reality decides your house is no longer your house. What would you do?
@marceloorellana5726 it wasn't a Palestinian land, they legally sold properties to the Jewish and Zionist foundation, the Ottoman empire wasn't happy but allowed it too (being the ruler for over 600 years). This is the equivalent to the US allowing immigration, then the union breaks and every states becomes a country, and suddenly the Jewish occupants are branded as not legitimate? Let's be real here. The local arabs of Palestine were zenophobic. Look at the Durze, why do you think they so passionately serve in the IDF? I understand that Palestinians as local inhabitants have a right for the territory they already occupied, I'm for a 1967 lines solution with land exchange to allow for 1948 refugees to come back. But Palestinians never had the entire land, never had a state, with leadership, with rule of law, with a military or security force, with a flag and an anthem and official language or anything. The rest of Israel is nor promised to them... they were promised a free country around the same time Israel was promised one too. Then the question of 1 or 2 states came up. Clashes between thw population made thw second option more viable. They were just residents of greater Ottoman Empire and when you look at historic records, not from the last 30 years when revisionism kicked in, they admit that whole heartedly. Lool at videos from the 50s where Palestinians don'teven call themselves Palestinians. Who does it help to make a claim for the entire land? Just more war.

What a load of zionist crap..! Palestinians along with Ottomans were sold by freemason Ataturk who was a secret anglo zionist agent..!

What about the Versailles treaty? Article 22?
I understood that it gave a mandate for statehood to Palestine. It was also asserted that the Balfour declaration did not make that null and void, so legally is still Palestine?
Can someone explain ?
Article 22 of the Versailles Treaty established the concept of mandates, wherein certain territories previously governed by defeated powers would be placed under the administration of advanced nations, acting as mandatories on behalf of the League of Nations. The article emphasizes the principle that the well-being and development of such peoples constitute a sacred trust of civilization. This could be interpreted in the context of supporting Palestinian statehood by advocating for the recognition of their right to self-determination and providing for their administration until they are able to stand alone. However, it's worth noting that the specific application of Article 22 to the Palestinian situation would depend on various factors, including historical context, geopolitical dynamics, and international consensus.

75 year long apartheid, 16 year long blockade of Gaza and now committing genocide. Pure evil.
Islam, 1400 years of apartheid and murder, rape and lies. Pure evil.
Fake
@@charlesayache6801 After the evacuation of Gaza in 2005; Israel have harsh, illegal military siege was imposed on Gaza made it a mass detention. Israel controls Gaza by air, sea, and land, and the tax system is not independent from the West Bank, meaning the occupied Palestinian territories are subject to a single tax system that is subject to the Israeli occupation state. Israeli warplanes and spy drones will not stop flying and reconnaissance in the skies of Gaza for a single day, intense deployment of warships off the coast of Gaza and depriving the Palestinians of extracting the gas field. What withdrawal are you talking about? The Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories since 1967, a 57-year occupation that turned into an apartheid regime. Hamas may not have recognized Israel, but the PLO did. What did you get ? Nothing. military coloniser forces and terrorist settlers attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, more 500 Palestinians were shot dead by the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank, including 100 children. There have also been attacks on Muslim and Christian holy sites by Israeli extremists. So, of course, the Palestinians resort to resistance because they see this as the only way for them to get their rights. The question here is not to dehumanize the Palestinians as it happens and call them terrorists . I think Hamas mainly attacked the Israeli military institutions and most of the people they arrested were mostly military. I do not want any civilian to be harmed by Palestinians or Israelis. what the Israeli destructive bombardment doing right now in Gaza, they slaughtered more than 36,000 civilians, wounded more than 80,000 civilians, and turned hospitals into mass graves. Hundreds of wounded and displaced people were executed and buried in cold blood. They are bombing and shelling houses and leveling them to the ground. Hundreds of families have been killed as a result of this bombing. Since the 2006 siege of Gaza, Israel has waged five wars against Gaza 2008, 2012, 2014, 2021, and 2023. they destroyed everything. There is only one path that must be imposed by the international community and that is to end the occupation and the abhorrent Israeli apartheid regime.
47:21 we need to deliver a movie after we test the trajectories with the architectural implementation team that will allow people to think of their relative career path to propagating Goodwill on their quotient like stocks and bonds from Walmart that's why I said think about your favorite things to bring with us and continue to manufacture distribute and recycle because your carbons will be necessary
According to you is it possible to have two state solutions
What did the Britain get? And how did that affect the Jewish people in Germany whom had great power in German government when the Belford agreement with the Jews came to light.
❤❤❤❤❤
Britain and the powers must own their mistakes and revert them at whatever cost. This will not go away, there is no two state solution, there is no middle ground. Only a one state Palestine is viable within which all of its citizens of any religion must have absolutely equal rights. This can only be achieved through an abject meaningful apology alongside reparations to the indigenous Palestinians in the double figure $Trillions. This or incessant never ending war which will of course lead to a nuclear one affecting us all.
Palestinians must have the Right to their Voice
38:32 yeah that's why I made the buildings to serve the most elite to anyone and everyone any and everywhere
An Afro American historian Dr. John Henrik clarke, in one of his stands on this issue he said Zionism and Colonialism walk hand to hand....
Ask the chair about the more than 372 years of the occupation of Khoikhoi land from the equator to Robben Island ?
15:25 it's the same state federal and international affairs in the Bible it's called The holy Trinity
Good Job Professor Khalidi.
Those that were concerned for the Palestinians did not cry victim. Yet, listen answer at 1:45:20 on the video.
I like your good work
Asking the Palestinians to negotiate with Isreal to grant them self determination - is like requiring the prisoner to negotiating with the prison warden to be set free.
They promised land to a people that belonged and had another people living in it that was never theirs to promise away in the first place.
We have been denied access to an online lecture given by the Professor at the University of Vienna in the middle of May 24, and this is only a part of oppression going on there for the last months. Shame on the University for this cutting of the freedom of teaching or doctrine !
