I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina and I ran into your channel and am listening for the first time. The information that Professor Iriqat shared are such an eye opener for me. Please make more analysis such as this.
Apartheid is not limited to Israel. All muslims countries does Apartheid to minority community. World over. Pakistan. Egypt. Bangladesh. Almost all Arab countries.

Thank you Mr Karan Thapar , for having Prof Dalal Iriqat to explain to the world the horrible sad situation the Palestinians and other minorities are facing in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank .
Please tell mr papad(thapar)bring any Qatari or kuwati friend and asked him/her for discuss about the religious condition of non muslims in Qatar or Kuwait and asked this question fu**k-fu**Kira(al Jazeera)too
You are hearing only one side of the story… you are not hearing the Israel’s voice!!… It’s the constant refrain of Islamists to call out their enemies while perpetrating their own attacks and crimes against innocent civilians
First of all thank you karan for bringing the right people on the show. It was really wonderful to have Dr. Dalal Iriquat and hearing her on the show bringing out the clarity of the Palestinian rights- basic human rights for them and the creation of a Palestine state. Unfortunately, the Israelis have forgotten the atrocities which they met through Nazis and they themselves are behaving like Nazis to the Palestininans!!!! We hope that Palestinians may receive the justice for themselves at the earliest. We pray God to deliever the justice to Palestinians. Thank you Dr.Iriquat, WE ARE WITH YOU & GOD also hears you.
Thanks a lot for providing platform to dr Dalal Iriqat. She articulates the issue so well. Palestinians are wonderful people who have suffered so much for long time. Interview was simply superb.
the other side of the coin is a bit surprising. the Palestinians appeared to be a bigoted anti semitic people trying to annihilate all Jews. dr dalal iriqat has presented them as a normal, decent people who have suffered so much. it is time now to bring Israeli and Palestinians like her together in a similar interview, and find out what they wish to say directly to each other.
Very illuminating. Shows how true love of one's own people and country is no different from loving all people all over the world. Nowhere do these conflict. If they do, then we are not fit or ready to live in peace in the world. True and passionate humanism displayed by the professor.
Excellent interview. We need to refer to this interview over and over again to understand and realize how does it feel to be a Palestinian in the apartheid state of Israel. We - the human beings - are not at all civilized. Else we'd not have tolerated this apartheid state for the last 75 years. Many many thanks to Mr. Karan Thapar for asking appropriate questions and Prof. Iriqat for providing all the details.
You are hearing only one side of the argument… if you ask the Israeli government, they have a lot to tell you about the continuing attacks and crimes against the innocent Jews
Bro, tbh this is the second or third time I am seeing someone with Hindu name defends Palestinians. I never saw any Indian Hindus supporting Palestine. Very sad. You did not make strong condemnation against Israel but still by seeing your words, it seems like you are sympathizing with innocent Palestinians? Why Indian Hindus actually backstab their own Indian muslims and christians because of Jews?
Good conversation. It gives a very clear picture of the double standards practiced by Israeli regime. The condition of the Palastinian people are worse than the apartheid practiced by the erstwhile South African regime. Ms Iriqat's words are heart-rending.
I'm Indian and I thik no one should be made to leave his motherland, by colonialism, We are categorically against it. Freedom is right of Every Sentient being
Please read the history first. Jew have live there for 3500 years. After the Arabs took it over from the 7th century, they had left it as a wasteland. Mark Twain who visited in 1881 among many other writers, travelers etc, have documented that Jerusalem/Israel looks like an expanded forsaken wasteland. After British divided the land, the Israelites made it into a booming economy, now the Arabs want it back! There was no Palestine state ever before…only Arabs living in the area.
Mr. Thapar, you are a shining light in the dark journalism in India, I hope you are training the next generation of journalists in India, especially in recent times where Indian journalists have lost their credibility. I have been seeing many of your interviews lately, your lucidity and unbias, and sometimes tough questioning are highlights of the interviews. Impressive!
Madam, you have given the answers to every wisely and honestly. I am proud of you. Indian people need to study the history of Palestine. Then only they will understand facts and accept the truth.
Why didn’t Palestinians flourish before Israel was born? The land was desolate, underdeveloped, harsh desert climatic conditions. Israel, within a short period of time grew in stature and made heads turn in less than a century. And Palestinians like her flourished in Israel.
@@loretoanthonyHow does all this mentioned by you justify Apartheid, forced settlements, stripping people of their rights, and killing and kidnapping of men, kids, and women and treating them as subhumans?
“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”~ Malcolm X
Her knowledge has come from good education in Israel but her roots are Palestinian so she has given a one sided opinion. This brings us to the question of roots. One will always be tilted to roots no matter how much they benefit from the land they deliberately choose to live in.
With the work Modi has been doing to destroy humanity in India in recent years, it's refreshing to see that there are still reasonable and thinking voices there like yourself.
Had known the situation of the Palestinians as have worked with Palestinians and listening to their stories which were heart rendering,this was when I was in the middle east country
Some people don’t learn from history. Jews who have suffered persecution from the Nazi, are now inflicting the same cruelty to the Palestinian people. But it won’t bring peace to Israel, rather they are digging their own grave. Peace will come when the legitimate rights of Palestinians are respected.. Sat Sri Akal, Salam, Shalom, Shanti.
I was literally shocked to learn about the existence of Administrative Detention practiced by ISD. PS: The Wire is the only one of the few channels in Indian Media that that do genuine reporting. In my words, it can be called Al Jazeera of India
Thankyou Thapar Sir, I love to listen to the people you bring for interactions. Your channel has provided with a lot of knowledge. The World today needs to know the truth.
Dr Dalal Thank you for your interview and Thank you Karan for holding this interview so professionally. Best dialogue I have seen during this difficult time on the side of our Palestinians. From South Africa
There a plenty of Arab Israelis who say they have absolutely the same rights as all other citizens. 30% of doctors are Arabs many judges and also a judge on the supreme court.
Great interview, Karan. There is no doubt that the Palestinians deserve a homeland, whether two states or one state. Would be great if you interview Mossab Hossein Youssef, son of a Hamas founder who has renounced terror.
28:56 "let down" by American presidents who stood by Israel all these years to perpetrate violence on Gazans, by all the Arab countries who keep good relations with US and hence don't speak out.
The fact that, before the 1937 massacre and huge displacement of Arabs in Palestine (which started by the migrated europian Jews ) the Arab Jews and Arab Christians were living with no issues whatsoever with Arab muslims.. indigenous Palestinian Arab doesn't mean some one who born and brought up in Ancient Palestine who by ethnically is an Arab also can be a Jew, Christian or a Muslim. The problem is with your brain and eyes to seek for religious issues and even if it's not exist, due to some unknown reason, for some people everything appears to be an issue with some religion!
Other side of the coin. The world isn't aware of it and the western media is blind folded plus biased. Double standard...in Gaza and Ukraine different + Taiwan. Thank you Karan for this mind boggling interview with the Professor.
Can Mr. Thapar and associates provide some insight on how the "right of return" and UN resolution 194 apply to the South Asian context? Can I as a Hindu with ancestral connections to Bangladesh claim a right of return to that country from India? Or for that matter, a Sikh from the Punjab claim such a right to Pakistan? Why does this special resolution not apply to South Asia and why are Palestinian refugees so special? I am not in support of everything that the state of Israel does, but that country was founded as a "Jewish democracy" under extreme conditions, and it makes sense to me that they would want to preserve the Jewish character of the state.
She says nothing goes inside Gaza without Israeli permission so how could so much weapons reach and remain hidden in Gaza? How could so many tunnels have been built inside Gaza if it was under Israeli control?
Makes you wonder if Israel has connived with certain elements of the "Hamas" to stage this attack. While that could sound like a conspiracy theory it IS a fact that Israel ignored intelligence on an impending attack by the Hamas.
Their main aim is to free Palestine from Jews. Life is already comfortable as they earn very well from Jews . I..c Jihad is curse these people believe and are victims of. Change of mindset can only change their state.
I fully agree with Prof Dalal Israel is not at all a democratic country It is a theological country like Pakistan and treats its non Jewish citizens very badly as secondrate citizens and main culprits are USA and other so-called developed countries
it's so ironic that USA , UK , Australia NZ , Canada, all these countries accept immigrants and offer citizenship of their countries and also give equal rights to these immigrants turned citizens, but on the other hand they support Israel in all way even though Isreal is not letting Palestinians to return back to their 'OWN' Land.
Thank you Sri Karan Thapar. You are doing a great job for the people of Palestine by letting the people outside Israel to know about the very inhuman and deplorable conditions in which the people of Palestine are subjected to live.
Palestinians who embraced Israeli citizenship realized that they would be second class citizens in Israel but proceeded regardless. Religious discrimination dates back centuries! Hindus were severely discriminated under Mughal rule; their temples plundered/destroyed/desecrated and Mosques were built with proceeds on the ruins. Indian civilization, ancient knowledge, sculptures, universities and culture were ruthlessly destroyed in Islamic invasions. Christians/Hindus/Buddhists are second class citizens in Islamic nations in the present!. The Native Americans were exterminated by the European settlers and then marginalized for long. In short, this exists everywhere in the world and is not disappearing. There are a reasons why Indian freedom fighters fought hard for independence. A two state solution is desperately needed.
@@sherali64 You are entitled to your opinion but it is not true. Muslims in India no where face the oppression Palestinians are facing in Gaza. We had Abdul Kalaam as President. When will any Muslim country ever have a Hindu President???!!!
Very nice interview. The existence of Apartheid state is so sad and that too in this day and age. I wonder why developed countries including India even side with Israel. This should not be our value system. India should terminate it's trade relations with racist Israel. Very informative interview.
For a professor specialising in diplomacy and the Arab-Israeli conflict, Prof Iriqat has a surprisingly selective memory for historical facts. When she says that in 1994 the Palestinians generously accepted a smaller share of land than in the original UK resolution, she forgets to mention that it was the Arabs that rejected that original resolution, while the Israeli founding fathers accepted it. Instead, when the Palestinians were *for the first time in history* offered to build their own state, they immediately went to war against their proposed neighbour, with the expressed goal of erasing Israel from the map and grab 100% of the land rather than the allotted 45%. It just so happens that they lost that war, but we would be having a very different conversation now than complaining about "2nd class citizens" if they had won it. I do not support the treatment of Iraeli Arabs as 2nd class citizens, but it is not surprising that the state is weary of a minority that tried to destroy that state from within. Prof Iriqat then goes on to complain that the Palestinians did not get anything for their generous concession. What she forgets to mention is that it was Arafat himself who rejected a concrete proposal that would have given the Palestinians 90% of the West Bank and the entire Gaza strip. At this point almost nobody in Israel believes that the Palestinian leaders want a state (certainly it is not what Hamas wants; it would lose the support of its most important backer the minute they would stop engaging in violence). The Palestinian people are a different matter, but unfortunately they are completely let down by poor leadership that does not have their well-being at heart (what kind of a monster uses their own civilians as live shields?). I am also surprised at Mr Thapar. He usually prides himself on asking incisive questions, but either he does not know the history of Israel well himself, or he decided that on this occasion he would prefer propaganda instead of balanced reporting and irrefutable historical facts.
If the world could not deliver on a two state solution to go back to the 1967 borders, the world would never be able to guarantee a one state solution (Jewish?) with equal rights to everyone irrespective of religion. If Israel had dealt with its current Palestinian population with dignity and honor, there would already be one vibrant state and thriving. As Dr. Dalal described life for Palestinians in Israel as much less than honorable and equal, with even Israeli Supreme Court proving its justice neither to be blind or balanced, she and her kin must be absolutly desperate to even accept a one state solution, essentially handling over all of the Palestine to Israel, with no right of return to Palestinians settled overseas. It is wishful thinking even on the part of Mr. Gideon Levy. With its behavior, Israel will, as would PA's sterile existence, perpetuate militant organizations like Hamas. And with Israel dealing with its Palestinian neighbors the way it does, Thapar Sahib, you can be rest assured that Hamas enjoys a huge popularity among Palestinians all over, because it appears, unlike Mahmood Abbas's PA, that Hamas is not sterile and toothless. Not a good sign. In essence unless Israel changes its behavior, nothing else will change. And while at it, Congress Party if India is also heading the way of Labor party of Israel. 😮
You often say - “for my Indian audience” (which is fine), but you must have a large audience from around the world, such as myself, an American in Japan. Your interviews are top notch!
I felt deeply saddened hearing from Prof. Dalai Iriqat in what condition Palestinians who live in Gaza and West Bank live under apartheid state of Israel. Contrary to her withnessing of Palestinian suffering the Interview with the ex Israely politician a couple days ago that was rigid, not passionate and utterlly injust and arrogant made me be enough informed about opression of indigenous Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank. Also the interviw with Gurion Levy - Haaretz columnist prooved me that Israel is occupier state since 1967 even decades before that.
The only place in the world where a Palestinian can leave home (after living there for decades) and on return find another family occupying the premises. Their explanation......God gave it to us!!!!!
Extremely shameful and blatant violation of the basic human rights of Palastinians in their own land by the Israeli junta. And the Israelis who still cry and try to seek sympathy on the atrocities inflicted on them by the Hitler's Germany. Absolutely inhumane, shameful and unpardonable - acts of Israel.
On this series of great interviews by Karan Thapar, this one with Dr. Dalal is without a doubt a super insightful, providing a holistic and very informative background. Stay safe both, may the world can also see beyond what is trumpeted to them through most of the mainstream media by those who only thrive on hate.
Thanks for bringing this very intelligent and articulate professor to your forum. She makes some very strong allegations and assertions. It would only make sense to present a counterview by inviting a Jewish representative who can defend the actions of Israeli State in a dispassionate manner. You cannot have Gideon Levys of the world who are ideologically aligned with Dr. Iriqat. The story of this conflict is quite a bit nuanced. It was Arafat who walked out of the final deal that would have given a two state solution. The fact is that there are extremist positions on both sides. The Right wing Jews want to claim the entire biblical land of Judea and Samara (as per their Bible) as Jewish land with no rights to anyone else. Likewise, the organizations such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad will not have a Jewish State in the middle East, PERIOD. Not on one inch of land. They may live there, but only as Dhimmis. After all, the prophet of Islam has clearly stated that there can be no peace with the Jews. With this kind of ideological divide, how can there be peace. To put all the onus on Israel is not right. Presenting Palestinians as the ONLY victims in this conflict is not right.....
Wow how being a Palestinian and living in Israel, how on earth she is still alive after Oct 7? Truly Israel is great country in respecting human rights otherwise she would have been killed as a reaction
Interesting that Gaza is blockaded only by Israel. You say that no-one can enter or leave Gaza: You forgot to mention that those Palestinians, for instance, that want to go overseas can go through the Rafah Egyptian border post. You forgot to mention that thousands of Gazans enter Israel every day to work and bring back money to their families. You forgot to mention that hundreds of trucks a week enter Gaza from Israel with produce and medical supplies. You forgot to mention that thousands of Gazans (and from the West Bank) enter Israel each week to obtain treatment in Israeli hospitals. Israeli volunteers meet them at the border to drive them to hospital and back. One of the hostages kidnapped to Gaza by the genocidal murderous Hamas, was such a volunteer.
Sir, Madam Prof Iriqat has made an eye opening presentation on conditions of Palestinians in Israel.

Instead, when the Palestinians were *for the first time in history* offered to build their own state, they immediately went to war against their proposed neighbour, with the expressed goal of erasing Israel from the map and grab 100% of the land rather than the allotted 45%. It just so happens that they lost that war, but we would be having a very different conversation now than complaining about "2nd class citizens" if they had won it. I do not support the treatment of Iraeli Arabs as 2nd class citizens, but it is not surprising that the state is weary of a minority that tried to destroy that state from within.
Prof Iriqat then goes on to complain that the Palestinians did not get anything for their generous concession. What she forgets to mention is that it was Arafat himself who rejected a concrete proposal that would have given the Palestinians 90% of the West Bank and the entire Gaza strip.
At this point almost nobody in Israel believes that the Palestinian leaders want a state (certainly it is not what Hamas wants; it would lose the support of its most important backer the minute they would stop engaging in violence). The Palestinian people are a different matter, but unfortunately they are completely let down by poor leadership that does not have their well-being at heart (what kind of a monster uses their own civilians as live shields?).
I am also surprised at Mr Thapar. He usually prides himself on asking incisive questions, but either he does not know the history of Israel well himself, or he decided that on this occasion he would prefer propaganda instead of balanced reporting and irrefutable historical facts.
Israel would not agree to any Palestinians right to return.
Thanks Mr Karan to bring
Facts which many people
Do not know
Thanks for Madam Iriqat
Well explained...
If the world could not deliver on a two state solution to go back to the 1967 borders, the world would never be able to guarantee a one state solution (Jewish?) with equal rights to everyone irrespective of religion.
If Israel had dealt with its current Palestinian population with dignity and honor, there would already be one vibrant state and thriving. As Dr. Dalal described life for Palestinians in Israel as much less than honorable and equal, with even Israeli Supreme Court proving its justice neither to be blind or balanced, she and her kin must be absolutly desperate to even accept a one state solution, essentially handling over all of the Palestine to Israel, with no right of return to Palestinians settled overseas. It is wishful thinking even on the part of Mr. Gideon Levy.
With its behavior, Israel will, as would PA's sterile existence, perpetuate militant organizations like Hamas. And with Israel dealing with its Palestinian neighbors the way it does, Thapar Sahib, you can be rest assured that Hamas enjoys a huge popularity among Palestinians all over, because it appears, unlike Mahmood Abbas's PA, that Hamas is not sterile and toothless. Not a good sign.
In essence unless Israel changes its behavior, nothing else will change. And while at it, Congress Party if India is also heading the way of Labor party of Israel. 😮
Off topic but shes beautiful and her advocacy is very impressive
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
You often say - “for my Indian audience” (which is fine), but you must have a large audience from around the world, such as myself, an American in Japan.
Your interviews are top notch!
I am worried, She isn't subjected to persecution by Israelis for being so vocal and exposing Israelis.
She explain truly
Karan Thapar sir I admire your shows very much! Very informative show on the genocide of the Palestinians.
I felt deeply saddened hearing from Prof. Dalai Iriqat in what condition Palestinians who live in Gaza and West Bank live under apartheid state of Israel. Contrary to her withnessing of Palestinian suffering the Interview with the ex Israely politician a couple days ago that was rigid, not passionate and utterlly injust and arrogant made me be enough informed about opression of indigenous Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank. Also the interviw with Gurion Levy - Haaretz columnist prooved me that Israel is occupier state since 1967 even decades before that.
Mr. Karan Thapar WOW
The only place in the world where a Palestinian can leave home (after living there for decades) and on return find another family occupying the premises. Their explanation......God gave it to us!!!!!
Does she support equal rights for non Muslims in Muslim countries?
Extremely shameful and blatant violation of the basic human rights of Palastinians in their own land by the Israeli junta.
And the Israelis who still cry and try to seek sympathy on the atrocities inflicted on them by the Hitler's Germany.
Absolutely inhumane, shameful and unpardonable - acts of Israel.
I agree.. what a hypocrisy
Where is Palestinians own land ? Sorry it is jews land
Goosebumps goosebumps
We were also occupied by British
Many Indian freedom fighters were labelled as 'terrorists' by British rulers. They too practiced the policy of 'divide and rule' .
Thanks
On this series of great interviews by Karan Thapar, this one with Dr. Dalal is without a doubt a super insightful, providing a holistic and very informative background. Stay safe both, may the world can also see beyond what is trumpeted to them through most of the mainstream media by those who only thrive on hate.
Indeed, your interviews are incisive and indepth exposing the facts being brushed under the carpet by the perpetrators be it Gujrat, Manipur or Gaza.
Brave reporting sir
Thanks for bringing this very intelligent and articulate professor to your forum. She makes some very strong allegations and assertions. It would only make sense to present a counterview by inviting a Jewish representative who can defend the actions of Israeli State in a dispassionate manner. You cannot have Gideon Levys of the world who are ideologically aligned with Dr. Iriqat. The story of this conflict is quite a bit nuanced. It was Arafat who walked out of the final deal that would have given a two state solution. The fact is that there are extremist positions on both sides. The Right wing Jews want to claim the entire biblical land of Judea and Samara (as per their Bible) as Jewish land with no rights to anyone else. Likewise, the organizations such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad will not have a Jewish State in the middle East, PERIOD. Not on one inch of land. They may live there, but only as Dhimmis. After all, the prophet of Islam has clearly stated that there can be no peace with the Jews. With this kind of ideological divide, how can there be peace. To put all the onus on Israel is not right. Presenting Palestinians as the ONLY victims in this conflict is not right.....
Israel would not allow any right of return for Palestinians.
Wow how being a Palestinian and living in Israel, how on earth she is still alive after Oct 7? Truly Israel is great country in respecting human rights otherwise she would have been killed as a reaction
Israel is more civilized than India or Pakistan, as a matter of fact any south Asian country
Interesting that Gaza is blockaded only by Israel.
You say that no-one can enter or leave Gaza:
You forgot to mention that those Palestinians, for instance, that want to go overseas can go through the Rafah Egyptian border post.
You forgot to mention that thousands of Gazans enter Israel every day to work and bring back money to their families.
You forgot to mention that hundreds of trucks a week enter Gaza from Israel with produce and medical supplies.
You forgot to mention that thousands of Gazans (and from the West Bank) enter Israel each week to obtain treatment in Israeli hospitals. Israeli volunteers meet them at the border to drive them to hospital and back. One of the hostages kidnapped to Gaza by the genocidal murderous Hamas, was such a volunteer.
