I guess it's a shame then that Israel wasn't around before '48 so that "Jews like Noam and Ilan" could have gone around attacking it to show what "good Jews" they were thereby preventing countless pograms and massacres, blood libels, the Inquisition, Holocaust, expulsions, forced conversions, ghettoization, etc. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_antisemitism) What fucking bullshit.

@@JustanothaGuy : I didn't talk about antisemitism. I just responded to the comment "Jews are ok so long as they agree with you". This is not about agreeing or disagreeing or 'agreeing to disagree' but about whether you are for against the oppression of another people. If as a Jew you are a Zionist who supports what Israel is doing then you are problematic. Period.

Oh, please! Chomsky has serious limitations. He’s still a Zionist and he refuses to support BDS. He’s wrong on many important matters. For instance, he still can’t accept the JFK was murdered by a conspiracy involving the CIA, Johnson, Hoover. Etc.. It was a coup d’etat that effectively ended the republic. He refuses to even seriously consider that 9/11 was an inside job - which it obviously was and Israel was behind it! He has done some very good work but his limitations are glaring.

Kennedy was an extremist hawk and it's essentially mainstream liberal propaganda to suggest otherwise. 9/11 as an inside job is so ludicrous that it doesn't really require comment, apart from the fact that all of the radical posturing around this ignores the fact that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were each worse than 9/11, you don't have to go looking around dark corners to expose u.s. crimes, it's right there on the front pages.

Both of these distinguished professors are just prolonging the agony of the middle east conflict pretending and trying to get weak minded people like most of the viewers here to believe that there is " justice" in the world between nations; a concept which is not extant in international relations. What they should be doing is acting like mature adults with wisdom, not like self perpetuating agents of ethereal visions. In short they continue the political masturbation of the people who want nothing but to terminate the State of Israel. The problem those people have really has more to do with the shame of many Arab people feeling powerless that a small despised minority, the Jews, suddenly empowered itself and made them and their political leaderships look and feel foolish and inadequate. They don't like it that the refugee nation of Israel beat Arab states and armies in battle and that "white" people beat "people of color" and colonized them. The actual material issues are picayune compared to the issues in the entire world, let alone the middle east. The territory involved is tiny. A few thousand square miles, most of it desert, with no oil or natural resources. (If you exclude the Negev desert, which had tens of thousands of Bedouin, many of whom cooperated with Israel and fought for it in 1948, then the balance of the Palestine Mandate territory has been split between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in roughly equal measures.) The scale of death likewise pales compared to everything else which has gone on in this part of the world. Lebanese Civil War, 200,000 dead. Syrian civil war 500,000 dead. Iraq war 750,000 dead. Iran-Iraq war 1,000 000 dead. Algerian civil war 200,000 dead. Israel/Palestine: In 1948 Israel lost 6000 dead. Palestinians: Aref el Aref's book gives 2000 dead (13,000 "nameless"). BTW, many of the Palestinian refugees "drifted" back to their homes or other Arab areas after 1948; the number can only be guessed at. Assume the right of return: fine. It may be a right, is it a solution? )Even Chomsky agrees on that point. Returning to Palestine, what will the refugee or his children or more likely grandchildren find? An Arab Islamic country? Does he dream of coexistence in a binational state (an idea of some Zionists, never reciprocated by any Arab people) like Noam Chomsky, who still calls himself a Zionist? Will the returning refugee find his street? his neighborhood? More likely he will have the experience of many Palestinians who returned to see their old homes, saw different streets, views, people, sometimes the same house, feeling indignant, angry and sad, but kick out the new tenants? A sad shake of the head. Where is the old baker? The girls' school? the little brook, the stand of trees, the field where we used to play? In life there is loss. Instead of trying to cultivate pipe dreams as an arc of international affairs, these old guys should do the right thing: tell their people: yes there is loss. Yes, there is mourning. Yes you can't make eggs out of an omelette. Tell them the truth: that the Jews didn't come as a conquering army to rob the land of its non-existent resources, of its own grinding poverty. The Jews didn't even want to come. They came because of the tsunami of hate, murder and destruction that was blown their way and they washed up on the shores of Palestine, where at least if they dug into the ground their kids could read the ancient buried things. Israel was not built by Zionists. Zionists wanted to cut a deal with, move in pacifically, maybe some wanted to buy out the inhabitants, maybe some wanted to kick them off the land. Regardless, the vast majority of the Jews came because they were refugees with no place else to go like Mr. and Mrs. Pappe, whose son you hear. It was not ideology that drove them. It was biology, the instinct to live and to protect ones' s wife and children, The Palestinians it is true are not at fault. They were the innocent victims of the Tsunami. against the Jews. But then the Jews revolutionized and turned themselves from this bunch of desperate and despised penniless refugees into a nation. And when the Arab states, in their horror and shame, gave effect to their worst tribal instincts by expelling their Arab Jews who landed in Israel, these Arab states thus had a hand in molding the new nation. A flight of fancy in a moment of anger took wing. Now these two strains of the Jews, the European and the Arab Jews lived together in uneasy (dis)harmony, until recent decades when they they started to intermarry and make babies that were neither European Jews nor Arab Jews. There is a new nation. The Israel nation. They are Jews but they are not "the Jews." The "Jews" are an ancient minority group moving from country to country for almost 2000 years. The Israelis are not "the Jews." They are a nation that enjoys political independence and sovereignty. These two distinguished professors should be telling their supporters, most of whom are young and unsophisticated (appearances to the contrary notwithstanding) to stop their obsessive search for the bad guys who are behind all problems. The most intractable problems arise from the desire to do good. They should be telling their audiences to deal with reality. SHIT HAPPENS. And most of the time it's irreversible. By constantly picking at the scabs without acknowledging the loss, our two professors persist in placing themselves at the head of the problematics instead of the problem solvers. I suspect they know full well that the Israelis are a nation, not less than than the Palestinians. That the Palestinians indeed suffered loss, and that the loss cannot be made up no matter what. That the Arab Muslim land of Palestine, part of the great Islamic Umma, where the sound of the muezzin is heard, where sheep loll on the meadows, where bedouin farmers till the rocky soil on the terraces and the sounds and smells of the old souk both repel and inspire, all that won't come back. You can't do it with some Potemkin style building blocks. By failing to tell the truth our friends here don't allow their flock to do what the human heart needs to do in times of loss: to mourn. Mourning is good for the soul. To acknowledge the truth of loss is cathartic. These old boys deny their followers the emotional catharsis that would better prepare them for the new world of reconciliation and acceptance. By drumming the old war drums dressed in academic accoutrements, they do no favor to to their followers or anyone else naive enough to believe in fairy tale solutions and cartoonish thinking. Who knows? Maybe things will turn around on a dime.לאלוהים פתרונים

'a small despised minority'. You are too modest! Doubt anyone has REALLY thought that for decades. On either side. Obviously there are political motives to pretend its the case. Just to be picky, how do you decide the difference between a minority and a small minority? Small at 5,10, 20, 30, 35%?

Ilan Pappe has debunked a lot of your comments. The early Zionists did not arrive peacefully. According to his research the Zionists had begun expelling Palestinians and raiding their villages prior to the 1948 war sending refugees to surrounding Arab countries. It was the arrival of those refugees that put pressure on those countries to send fighters to Israel to stop the expulsion. That is what started the 1948 war. This is Ilan pappe’s analysis based on documents that were declassified in 1979. These documents (diaries, letters, etc) radically debunk the narrative that Israel has spread about how they were founded.

Nakba was result of Palestinians backing Nazis during WWII Opinion: The longer only one side of the so-called Palestinian Catastrophe is cultivated, the longer hatred will continue to be nurtured, while historical facts point to Palestinians openly supporting Nazi propaganda during WWII

The attempt to blame the Palestinians for their fate takes many forms. That’s one of them. The Nakba was result of deliberate actions of the Israel forces in the 1948 after the decision was made to seize more territory than had been allocated to a future Israel under the UN suggested partition in November 1947. To keep a Jewish majority it was necessary to expel a large proportion of the population. Read either Benny Morris (who has become a Zionist apologist) or Ilan Pappe who have separately gone through the Israeli archives. The Zionists knew Israel, like every nation, could only be established by force. They were better prepared to fight it out and thus won the war in 1948. That didn’t resolve the problem which is why the IDF has ever since been the superior armed force in the middle east and seeks to maintain its exclusive possession of nuclear weapons. Israel is not the problem in the world. It is just an extreme manifestation of the crisis of nationalism and the nation-state system.

What is little discussed ever is the following: Zionist collaboration with the Nazis There is no period of history-prior to the founding of Israel in 1948-that so thoroughly exposed the reactionary character of Zionism and its fraudulent claim to represent the interests of the Jewish people than its conduct during the 1930s. The extent of the political and commercial dealings of the Nazis and the Zionists has been extensively documented by historians. Many of the most important works on this subject have been written by Jewish historians, among whom the most renowned are Saul Friedlander and Tom Segev. In the aftermath of Hitler’s accession to power, the Zionist organizations were inclined to collaborate with the Nazis, even arguing that both Nazism and Zionism were national movements whose “völkisch” principles were compatible. Opposing mass protests or an economic boycott, Zionist representatives from Germany and Palestine met with representatives of the Third Reich and concluded on August 27, 1933 a financial agreement, known as the Haavarah, which, as explained by Friedlander, “allowed Jewish emigrants indirect transfer of part of their assets and facilitated export of goods from Nazi Germany to Palestine.”[7] Friedlander continued: One of the main benefits the new regime hoped to reap from Haavarah was a breach in the foreign Jewish economic boycott of Germany. … The Zionist organizations and the leadership of the Yishuv (the Jewish community in Palestine) distanced themselves from any form of mass protest or boycott to avoid creating obstacles to the new arrangements. Even before the conclusion of the Haavarah Agreement, such “cooperation” sometimes took bizarre forms. Thus, in early 1933, Baron Leopold Itz Edler von Mildenstein, a man who a few years later was to become chief of the Jewish section of the SD (the Sicherheitsdienst, or security service, the SS intelligence branch headed by Reinhard Heydrich), was invited along with his wife to tour Palestine and write a series of articles for Goebbels’ Der Angriff. And so it was that the Mildensteins, accompanied by Kurt Tuchler, a leading member of the Berlin Zionist organization, and his wife, visited Jewish settlements in Eretz Israel. The highly positive articles, entitled “A Nazi Visits Palestine,” were duly published, and, to mark the occasion, a special medallion cast with a swastika on one side and a Star of David on the other. On June 22, 1933, the leaders of the Zionist Organization for Germany sent a memorandum to Hitler, which declared: Zionism believes that the rebirth of the national life of a people, which is now occurring in Germany through the emphasis on its Christian and national character, must also come about among the Jewish people. For the Jewish people, too, national origin, religion, common destiny and a sense of uniqueness must be of decisive importance to its existence. This demands the elimination of the egotistical individualism of the liberal era, and its replacement with a sense of community and collective responsibility. Later, the apologists for the Zionists would attempt to explain away such statements and the Haavarah as survival measures undertaken under desperate conditions, as if the triumph of fascism justifies collaboration. In fact, the response of the Zionists to the brutal persecution of the Jews by the Nazis, and even to their murder, was determined by calculations of its effect on the prospects for Jewish emigration into Palestine. As David Ben-Gurion, the leader of the Zionist movement, infamously declared: If I knew that it was possible to save all the [Jewish] children in Germany by transporting them to England, but only half of them by transporting them to Palestine, I would choose the second-because we face not only the reckoning of those children, but the historical reckoning of the Jewish people.[8] Ben-Gurion also expressed the fear, following the Kristallnacht pogrom, that the event might lead to international sympathy for the plight of the Jews, resulting in various countries relaxing their restrictions on immigration and thereby offering Jews alternatives to Palestine.
