People like this should be in power.
I couldn't agree more. He is a true leader.
He ran for Mayor of Jerusalem but the threats to he and those close to him made him withdraw.
💯
Taqiyya. Google it and wake up
There was such a man, not a perfect man, but he made a peace deal with Israel, Israel made a peace deal with him; Anwar Sadat. And how did the Muslims thank Anwar Sadat for establishing a “lasting peace?” Islamists splayed Anwar Sadat with a wall of bullets!
This man should be the voice of reason on social media
He speaks with purpose and intelligence
I respect him so much
Google NAKABA then watch STONE COLD JUSTICE, and BORN IN GAZA.
He speaks too much truth to get the recognition he deserves.
This man should READ THE BIBLE!!!
@@maryschott9765 watch why Jordan, Lebanon kicked them out.
"they're occupied militarily, we're occupied politically... by the same people" I think we have some real questions to ask ourselves 😬 I'm pretty sure we could find a better partnership with all the Arab countries rather than just Israel? Especially in a world that's becoming increasingly multipolar.
I am an Israeli and I respect this man. That being said, him saying "violence will not solve anything" at this level is akin to saying the same when Hitler has already invaded Poland in 1939. Unfortunately, sometimes you have no other choice left but to wipe out the enemy who clearly states out his goal to destroy you.
It should be remembered that the palestinians are being taught to hatred from kindergarten age. Little kids make plays showing them killing Jews. This is, in my opinion, an even bigger problem than Hammas itself. Germans went through de-nazification after WW2. What do we do witn the Gazah population, even if Hammas is completely obliterated? Left to their own devices, the people in Gazah would grow Hammas 2.0 in no time.
If you give people help and hope and admit your OWN wrongdoings (the Palestians AND the Israelis), most people WILL change over time. (Relative) Prosperity, safety and peace is an powerful motivator. The Germans DID change after WW2. Try to show empathy for the other side: The land of the Palestian people was taken after WW2 by Jewish settlers desperate for a safe home (which is a valid wish). In the last decades they were the ones who suffered the most under this conflict. Now they are ferchted on a small land and continously threatend and discriminated against. If you give them their own land, help to prosper and actual autonomy, the majority will calm down and be satisfied.
@@lisad.9957 >>> The land of the Palestian people was taken after WW2 by Jewish settlers
100% false. Read your history.
I think you're conflicting the root cause of the issue, Hitler's invasion wasn't based on a conflict created by oppression, killing Palestinians trying to get rid of Hama's will not work, it will only flame the fire of hatred, the root cause is what Palestinians suffer on daily occurrence.
Don't take my words for it, Nelsen Mandala himself described it as an apartheid worse than SA, maybe there is validty to that claim. Go and investigate it from the Palestinian's perspective, put yourself in their shoes and I mean it truly. Don't try to rebuttal me as I will not be reading it since I have no dog in the fight.
This is for you to overcome and begin to understand a perspective that's different to yours. I sincerely wish peace for everyone.
They should remove Hamas and help build Gaza to gain their trust. Then reform the schools and education and slowly introduce their own leaders so they can self govern
@@seasesh4073 The entire oppression narrative is a complete fake. Israrl withdrew from Gazah and forcefully removed its own citizens. There isn't a single Jew in Gazah for 18 years. Before starting peddaling the same narrative - try learning facts.
God bless that man. The Middle East (nay the world) needs more men like him. Praying for peace throughout the Middle East.
What a decent human being. if only the majority of Palestinians were like him there would already be a Palestinian state and peace

Palestinian fighters have kidnapped IDF Soldiers and Isreali civilians and brought them back to Gaza. But why is hamas using this tactic you ask? Its because they are hoping to exchange them for thousands of Palestinians in isreali jails. right now Isreal is holding over 5000 Palestinians including 170 CHILDREN AND 33 WOMEN in their jails where they face a series of extreme human rights violations and hamas has said they have enough isreali captives to free all of the prisoners. Because Palestinians know that in the eyes of Isreal and international community Isreali lives are far more valuable than Palestinians and this was proved in 2011 when a singular Israeli named Gilad shalit an IDF soldier was exchanged for 1027 Palestinian prisoners'. So if the world placed real value on Palestinian lives instead of allowing and cheering on Israel to occupy assault, imprison and kill Palestinians on a daily basis maybe the situation would be different.
We only need our land back. Those Zionist came from Europe where they were exiled
If there was no Netanyahu and a normal prime minister. Yes we can do it!
@@rasalove6669if u guys didnt have hamas*
This is the first peace activist I've heard who actually sounds intelligent and who actually seems to mean what he says. Thanks for giving me some hope!
We need more people like this, level headed and well informed. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Man of Peace.....
The problem with our leaders is that they're full of greed that they don't care who dies. Greed in all aspects.
I have seen many protests across Israel when people are unhappy with their govt decisions. I have NEVER seen a public protest of the PALs against their govt. Why is that?? If they dont support the PAL authority or hamas, then replace them. Remaining silent is the same as supporting them.
I’m sure it’s easier said than done look at the US. Many not happy with what all is going on. We simply can’t remove and replace…..
@@Lisa-qs1xd -- You can try. We have people protesting on both sides. Have you seen any PALs protesting hamas? Why not?
Maybe ? they remain silent ? for the same reason ? we have to !!
AKA No freedom of speech !!
Someone hasn’t been listening….the dude just explained why
Did you even watch the video? He answered your question. Also, it's common sense. Who would go out to protest while bombs are getting dropped everywhere. If I lived in Gaza I'd be terrified right now.
Excellent interview by a wise man who needs to be heard.
Thank you for posting this.
"It's a hard life,it's a hard life, it's a hard life,I know. It's a hard life wherever you go. But if we poison our children with hatred,a hard life is all that they'll know."
Thats the trueth He downt speack of, He speacks half trueth becouse he is a palestinian!
@@loesvanes1019 What did he lie about?>
Loved it when he was asked what should be done to achieve peace and he couldn't give a genuine answer. All these activist just want to point out the fault of others. Talkers just want to talk but doers get things done. Hamas and Hezbollah must be removed and then talk.
There is no removing them. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. These miltant groups are the only reason way Isreal has not been able to openly ethnicly wipe out Palestinians in Gaza and the local population in South Lebanon. Why would Palestinians or Lebenese get rid of the throne at the side of Isreali abusive army that keeps beating on them.
We tried to get rid of Talilban from Afghanistan due to 9/11 and they are still here and still standing whilst we left with our tail between our legs.
What exactly did you want him to say? 🤔 Does he have all the answers? 🤔
Then he should have said he didn't know. When you don't know something it usually best to stick to what you do know. Activist think they speak for every adult but at the end of the day every adult speak for themselves.
How would you go about removing Hamas and Hezbollah and achieve peace between the Israel and Palestinian?
It's easy to complain about what others do or don't do. But he refused to give än oversimplified answer, but he pointed out that more violence isn't the answer. That's pure logic. But what do YOU think is the right solution now and long term then?
Respect to this mans historical and current event accuracy. Most impressed with his perspective on peace, lives what he talks. I ask with respect, why would anyone want to live among people who would rape and murder your women and children?
Many don't have a choice, and Hamas is their last hope for any sort of protection. Israel has harsh restrictions on Palestinians leaving the country. If you look at a recent map of the two countries, you would also be able to see how geography aids Israel in their restrictions and why it is harder for Palestinians to leave. I know many Palestinians who hate Hamas, but can't speak out due to their violent nature and power. Many can't just leave because they dislike Hamas. As I said before, Hamas is their last hope for survival. The situation isn't as black and white as it seems from the outside.
Because you must be tolerant to be tolerant and be better than the people we all criticize. It is also hyperbole and a sweeping generalization to say that an entire people wants to do that (rape and murder). It’s simply not true. Everyone simply needs to live up to their own principles and be devoted to the Source of Knowledge by whatever name they know it by whether it’s Reason, Logic, Logos, YHVH, Elohim, Allah, Tao, Brahman, etc.
Those who reject the Source of Knowledge are fools.
Reason would have us tolerate and forgive, knowing that nothing is nothing (so nothing is truly dead and gone) and that all is one universally (general coherence - existential oneness) and that we all must ask for and give forgiveness to be truly rational, good, and coherent with God (Logic).
Does Logic throw a lightning bolt down at you for being wrong or even for being evil (egregiously incoherent)? No, you have surely been shown endless patience by the Universe and it’s Logic (YHVH).
The Logic of Perfect Understanding (God) is not the flawed and self incriminating logic of strict condemnation.
The logic of condemnation condemns even itself, while the Logic of Understanding understands and gives understanding to all including itself.
We must align with God (the Logic of Universal Comprehension, the Logic of True Understanding) and not with our corrupt and wicked nations who go around condemning their own image in the mirror.
Did you watch the whole video? I think the answer is in there if you think about it.
It starts with seeing other humans as humans. If you believe all the others rape and murder it will never be possible. The ones who commit violence are doing it exactly for that reason. They have been told to hate the other side their whole lives, and they don't see the other side as humans anymore. The antidote to all this is simply to listen to each other and to put yourself in the others shoes.
They do it to their own people too, honour killings being one major thing.
He's just another peace activist however well spoken, who wants to blame Israel for Palestinians being miserable. He's in no position to speak of 'both sides' and 'stopping violence on both sides'. Take THEM out of the picture and there's no violence and their is no crimes against humanity. This hopefully will be the end of Hamas, and those who survive this should next time deal with their own first, before telling others what they expect of them.
What excellent questions; what discerning answers. Well done to both of you.
He is a true humanitarian....cares about peace & all ppls...also i like how he highlighted that the Polititians could have truly fixed this...by not accepting kickbacks in the form of Money & retaining Power... 🙏🇬🇧 From a Jew in the UK
All my respect to this man!
I have watched so many videos about this conflict and I think this is one of the best video to shape your mind on the war and the way forward, respect to you sir .
Need to stop censoring and show the world what these animals REALLY did.
Yea show what israel has done for decades
@@goldmo2427 Please read about how many times Israel has signed peace agreements and 2-state agreements and given back land that they gained in wars started against them by their neighbors. Please read all of this. In recent years, Israel has become more aggressive under Netenyahu's leadership, but all those blockades are because of the countless, constant small terroristic acts happening along their borders. And by the way, the same level of border blockades are in place in Egypt. Israel has tried and tried for peace. Israel's actions, up until maybe the past decade (and I don't condone recent rogue acts of violence or settlements on the part of Israelis either), have been essentially always defensive actions. I don't condone or support any violence. I haven't slept in nights thinking about what's going on there. I hate all of it. Here is a Wikipedia article that delves deep into the history of anti-Jewish violence in the Middle East. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_antisemitism
@@goldmo2427 brainwash ,much ?
i wish a world with more people like Aziz Abu
He speaks a lot of sense. The only question is how can you have rational discussion about peace with a terrorist organization like Hamas?
Israel had a chance for an equitable and meaningful to the crisis when dealing with the PLO and PA but decided to call them terrorist and not a viable partner. The feeling of hopelessness led to some Palestinians gravitating towards a violent and religious fundamentalist organization like Hamas. Going back to the 1967 borders with a joint control of Jerusalem is probably a more acceptable solution. Israel cannot get peace and security while taking the same away from the Palestinians.
@@dborg56
Tell me how to negotiate with bombers,taking hostages in planes…
Rabin still shook hands with Arafat. What did we get in return. Suicide terrorists!!!
Did you ever fear to get on a bus.
These 3 weeks I lost faith after 30 years living here and always hoping and defending the peace talks.
Now I feel that Hamas has to be stopped somehow. But without stopping Iran this is not possible.
They have the state doctrine to annihilate Israel.
Every word he says is true and I know many here to think alike.
But HOW?????????
That's just untrue. The Oslo accords was our exact attempt at peace and another one in 2005 when we pulled out completely from Gaza, evacuating our own citizens *by force*. All in the hopes for peace. But every time we tried we got suicide bombers and rockets on our citizens@@dborg56 .
Whenever there's an actual partner for peace (Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Baharian, maybe soon Saudi Arabia) we have peace. Hell, we had peace with Iran before the extremist islamic regime took over. So to say Israel doesn't want peace is just ridiculous.
Remember, NOTHING is the fault of any Muslim ever. @@dborg56
@@DocReasonableywp they play the victim they have done wrong and rhen usually scream the made up bs of Islamphobia !!
This guy is a realist. He speaks the truth. This war will never end due to philosophy differences. Both side live on hate and vengeance. Sad sad sad😢
The civilians there that died were mostly well educated intellgient and hard working westerners, that improved living quality for everyone around them.
umm, only ONE side is to blame..if you dont se it then you are either ignorant or evil.
Wrong. If Israel laid down its weapons all the Jews there would be killed immediately. Is Hamas and the Palestinians laid down their weapons that would be peace. I don't expect you to understand this because you could if you wanted to and don't.
I don't think that both sides live on hate and vengeance, I think that one side lives on hate.
Historically Israel and the Jews have always had a strong sense of justice in bringing punishment to those that directly attacked them such as Nazis or other terrorists, but they have never spread that beyond those that were responsible. They never called for the extermination of Muslims or Germans even though both groups have collectively called for their extermination over the course of history.
Only one side live on hate and proudly pronounces it -> not Israel
Over the past decade - I think I've commented on maybe three videos - this is one of those three... This gentleman is so incredibly articulate - an excellent spokesperson for both sides. I watched an interview recently from a Hamas leader regarding the situation - and was left in total disbelief of their "reality"... But, the words of Aziz Abu Sarah in this interview are on target, well considered and so on point - regardless of our personal biases on this issue. An excellent, insightful interview....
Completely agree, very good interview and information.
Agree 🌿🕊️🌿
And if I ask you what Reality is and how you know Reality objectively, what would you say?
Would you know Reality and what it’s coherent with if we dig into that question?
It’s worth thinking about, and I would encourage a thoughtful response.
@@logicalconceptofficial Reality is indeed subjective. But we can choose how we respond to that reality. The ones who perpetuate the violence responded by hate and revenge. The is always a better way regardless of what your reality is.
you do know that people are not necessarily saying the truth
when they are saying what do you want to here
Aziz you are a light in these dark times! You are a truly worior! Great interview!
Heartbreaking, very very sad. They say Hamas Millionaire Leaders and families are safely in Qatar and Turkey, telling Palestinian people not to leave, thats frightening
I didn't want to listen to a word he had to say, but he turned out to be a very reasonable man. Seems like a very decent fellow.
Some people in these comments clearly have not done any research on this topic. If you are confused about the situation, I recommend watching several videos explaining the history of the conflict between Palestine and Israel (multiple to clear bias) before watching this. It will give you a clearer understanding of what led to this horrible situation and it will also give perspective to his words. Please understand that this situation isn't just black and white, there are many different aspects and many mistakes made by both sides. Not everything is as it is seen on the news, nor is it just what has happened over the course of a few weeks. There is over 70 years of history. Educate yourself before speaking out.
Article 80 (called the Palestine clause). Rights for Jews to settle anywhere in Palestine west of the Jordan River are therefore guaranteed by the former NF which has now changed its name to the UN.
Egypt illegally conquered and occupied the Gaza Strip in 1948 when it attacked Israel. Jordan conquered, occupied and annexed the West Bank including Jerusalem illegally when it attacked Israel in 1948. Both of these countries then, according to international law, became illegal occupiers as they had no legal right to these territories.
After Egypt, Jordan and Syria launched hostilities against Israel during the 1967 Six Day War, Israel captured Gaza and the West Bank including Jerusalem.
Great comment I agree
You said nothing in your feeble attempt to school people on "researching". Grade School debating skills.
@@nohaboy100 I wasn't trying to "school" anybody. I apologize if it came off that way, but I really was just asking people to do research on a complex topic before giving uneducated opinions. Many people have done research and many haven't. I was simply giving advice.
@kyliemonteou3409 You could have a Doctorate in Middle Eastern Studies or just on Israel and it could be explained to the lay person in these words: It is about land and religion. Mountains of books can try to fill in the gaps. If there is one lesson history teaches us, it is that most conflicts that have longevity ate about those two things. Whether that conflict is on a local or international level. I don't disagree that using fact or even opinion is my preferred way to "debate".
WOW, thank you Abiz Abu Sarah!! This is the BEST, most compassionate & balanced perspective I've heard on this conflict yet & the ONLY one that gives me hope. 💯🙏❤
Thank you for bringing a sain Palestinian
Sane
Wow, you are inspiring so many people from those who can not have a mouth to those who are mouthless. God bless you.
I thank the universe for your existance. Im israeli, and i just wish both sides will be able to remember than we are both just people who want to live. We need more people like you to speak up in the media. Don't let anger turn into hate, dont let those who hurt you turn you to a hate filled monster that wants to hurt "back".
bless you, I am so sorry for the loss of the innocent jews as well as the bombing of innocent palestinians, I wish peace for all good people who wish to live in peace and see their families and children grow. You are a beautiful and evolved soul, I wish those like you could outnumber the hate, on both sides.
An intelligent and compassionate man, who sadly will not have any space in Palestinian society, especially not in Gaza, or even in the West Bank where he was born. He divdes his time between Israel and the US. That's why he is able to speak openly at this time.
Good interview, great questions great answers, he should be in a leadership role , articulate, informed rationale
40 babies beheaded ??? thats beyound sick
Its beyond bullshit
This is a good person. I feel very sad for all the people on both sides who have lost their lives.
Thank you
Thank you for sharing your insights and perspectives. What an interview!
Can we hear how much the words of the Koran, and Islam play into this narrative??
Great interview, he seems like a logical guy, if more people like him existed in Gaza and were in power instead of the evil Hamas organization perhaps peace would've been achieved
But, sadly,he would still be dealing with a blockade, settler aggression and a Usraeli government unwilling to move in anything...so how popular would he remain?
Do u see the problem? Palestinian problems did NOT start with Hamas. Israel funded and started Hamas because it hated the secular PLO....there's a huge elephant in room
He can't be a Muslim.

Mr Sarah
You speak so well and with clarity - thank you
If these people would destroy terrorists out of their land but no they love them . Pure truth.
Why would any Palestinian support Hamas when the know what Israel will do in response to this horror?
Thank you for your voice of reason! We all hurt and we all need to know each other. It is the only way forward.
I’m an Israeli. I think much of what Aziz said is true. But not everything.
This is not an occupation. Because the whole situation is due to Arabs attacking Israel on the day first of its existence.
But this man is intelligent and I respect him so much
Israelis have always lived on the land, longer than Muslims and longer than Christians, how can they be invaders in their own land.
What happened to all the terrorists dancing in the streets and celebrating destruction 🤔 🤔🤔
This man, and what he stands for, will never come to be. When u live long enough, learn enough and have kept ur eyes open, you come to realize peace will never happen. You have to find your own peace, live in your own small circle of the world, leave world politics alone, and only work on improving that circle you have created and live in.
Thank you so much.
We need more like you❤
I'm Israeli
You should head the UN
Thank you very much for this. Aziz Abu Sarah seems like a really good man. Not personally sure how exactly peace can be found but the people in charge right now sure haven't been doing a good job at working towards it, why think they'll start as they get older? Crazy how you can have old people plotting their mess while poisoning relations that lead to young people dying and killing each other.
Don't lose hope. Keep up your spirit.
Treat others the wayyou want to be treated. The only way to bring peace.

"Launched an attack on Israel" is akin to saying theres a leak on the Titanic
Do you know the main demographic of the IDF? 18-22 year olds. Do you know what happens if you refuse to join the IDF in Israel? You get sent to prison (unless you choose to leave Israel somehow). What makes you think an army built with teenagers is some kind of unstoppable fighting force?
@@lulu-so9bf That's just the national duty policy, that doesn't mean they are unwilling or incapable. They also have officers. All Israelis know they are under threat from all sides. And they've proven their mettle by winning wars against all neighbors at once.

They attacked innocent civilians in their homes. They slaughtered the elderly, women and children. How dare you defend terrorism as "innovation" @@walan31
From a Russian Jew living in U.S thank you for a hopeful message Aziz. My Grandma and uncle are alone in Sderot near Gaza strip as my family evacuated to the North. What happened on Oct.7 was pure barbarism. When I see dead Palestinian children pulled out from rubble my heart breaks just the same. I hate Hamas for what they did, but I have no love for Israel's "leadership" who lead up to this point. Praying for this nightmare to end for all of us.
If there was lack of hope, Hamas brought it upon themselves and the people of Gaza - stop blaming others
Must hear from this man on other networks, in other communities
It's easy for him to say 'violence will not solve anything' after Hamas has already perpetrated its heinous acts.
Let him say that to them before they attack. Let him insist they practice restraint, come to the negotiating table, offer consessions to their own people.
It won't happen because he doesn't really believe in it.
Hamas really harm Palestinians. So true ,Many Palestinians work in Israel and they are nice ppl ,Even now we call each other checking if they ok. Now I feel helpless cause it looks like Hamas stay in control. So sad
Really good guy. I hope you're doing well and you can get through with your vision and get a fair solution for both sides.
“Violence will not solve anything” is a great line when dealing with people who don’t want to exterminate your race. Violence in this case is necessary. We live in the real world. To say anything else is complicit in evil.
Thank you for your program in accommodating a good Palestinian, intelligent people are just in seeing both sides of of the problem, God bless you sister
the poor children that were butchered
I'll salute you sir,that's a real kind of islam...speaking the truth for not tolerating the evil of hamas is comes from the wisdom of God.
This peace activist can’t said Hamas is not terrorist; is that mean Hamas is the extreme Palestinians?
Thank you for this clarity on a terrible, confusing and heartbreaking situation.
Palestinians have been working in Israel all these years. Its not accurate to say Israeli children have never seen a Palestinian.
This guy is in the right job.
I hope Aziz will be elected as the rightful President of Palestine one day
Thank you, Sir. I appreciate all you are trying to do. Thank you for being honest and yet hopeful. I pray things get better and I am so sorry for all the pain and suffering that you and so many others are facing due to evil. Take heart, you are doing God's work. Blessings to you.
Anither I pray for them person. Sigh
Aziz Abu Sarah should be the ones leading the Palestinian people. No one would benefit if we keep continuing the hate and war because of the past, we must look forward for the future of the Generations, whether Israeli-Palestinian citizens if both citizens would always bring up the pasts it won't lead them nowhere. Yes, both sides committed atrocities before, but AGAIN that was all on the past, can't we just focus on the future of our kids more than the past?
My heart goes out to inocent lives of Palestinians and Israelis aswell.😢
This guy should lead the Palestinians for peace and prospeeity.
Incredible the way this gentleman is saying. Common sense thank you 🙏🏼 I didn’t know there were some Palestinians also thin like this too. Let pray for all victims 🙏🏼❤️
Aziz Abu Sarah is someone the world needs the most today.
You can always trust the person that gets bashed from both sides of the argument. I pray for this man's safety and hopefully after Israel is done with Hammas and the dust settles that the Palestinians elect this man to be a leader and he gets the chance to make a peace deal that works for everyone in the borders of Israel.
Indeed.
Years ago I saw a documentary from Palestine, leaders in courage them to have many children. ,yet they were poor and couldn't feed so many kids , they wanted too many people to take over Israel. Leader of Hamas has been living in Qatar since 2019 ,luxury life
Im a month late to this interview and barely more than half way through, I want to hear more from this man.
Im from the Israeli side but he is speaking my mind and like me saw exactly where this was heading up until now.
And now that I'm through, I double down, I love hearing the sane voices.
This man should be interviewed more and more. Perhaps pushed into some leadership position - that's what Palestinians need most in the grand scheme...
Forbes, you’re doing it right.
This is a decent man with morals and values!! Imagine have someone like him in power! That region would finally have peace. 🙏🏻 Let’s pray for innocent civilians from both sides! 💔🥹🙏🏻
This guy is very good, agree. Very hard now.
Hamas attacked civilians. And set up their bases in their own civilian areas.
They are extremists that have in their charter the destruction of Jews.
There is no contention about Hamas and the government there. Hamas is in control.
Well, Brave, but he doesn't live in Gaza (according to Google), if he did he wouldn't be alive, I think. Hamas certainly doesn't want to hear that from a Palestinian. No one from Gaza can speak out like that, he can only speak out because he doesn't live in Gaza. How sad that is.Nevertheless, through him we see how important education is. if you become isolated, don't get a proper education and extremism overwhelms your life, there is no way out...
Hamas has to go down 😢
That's the kind of person to do peace with
I am listening to this man and so far he sounds totally sane and reasonable. I got as far as 4:49 ... People losing their hope should not automatically mean that you need to also get rid of your sense of humanity and decency and embrace a genocidal orgy.
I wish Aziz for more people like you, spreading your message is our only hope.
It was very good to hear your viewpoint. God bless you.
The Palestinian people have ĺived under a prolonged occupation for over 50 years and Gazan's have lived under an air, sea and land blockade since 2007. Today's major military attack on the Gazans is the 6th. Young men who joined Hamas have never known any other life and all will have witnessed the killing of family members during their childhoods fermenting hatred towards Israel.
For the journalists. Gaza was so heavily populated. ,how come that theses gazaian did not tell on Hamas. They should know that engaging Israel by attacking it will bring this
Thank you, Mr. Aziz, especially for your words about tribalism in the last few minutes of the interview! You are so right! What is the universal, that each and all of the ordinary people share? It is our being a human with the ability to love and hate. This is our common ground on which we all can meet. There we can choose between love and hate. We can help each other grow or we can make each other miserable. When people can think for a moment for themselves and use their common sense without being influenced from a partial side, it should be clear, what most people would choose. We are not divided by religions, not by colour or anything of the kind as soon as we as a human being choose not to be divided! The question is, what forces are instigating and fuelling the hatred and inhumaneness, who is pressuring on us these tribal and pseudo-religious ideas instead of fuelling the idea of respect, freedom, fraternity and unifying humanity? As soon as people understand from which direction division and willful devastation come they immediately will realize that they are born free to live a life in creativity, richness and fraternity with all living beings! It is not about a special religion, it is a fight between good and evil, the principle of life against the principles of a death cult.
Very important speech! Wy the USA university don’t call this peaceful palentinian to explain to the students the real situation in gaza
I like the way this guy is thinking. He seems more rational than most people in power right now, whose only focus is taking vengeance on the innocent people for something a group of terrorists did.
if I raise my kids to hate my neighbor and my neighbor raises their kids to hate mine there will never be peace
Killing infants and children is unacceptable even in war. Evil. All’s fair in love and war BUT NOT MURDERING INFANTS. Sick.
Aziz...you are the voice of reason. You give me a little bit of hope.
Great job Aziz. Your message about this tribalism is exactly what we need here in America as well. The teams should be divided by the good, decent people & then everybody else, not by color or race.
I feel like what you just explained is the remedy for all bigotry. It’s the same message as urging people to judge one another not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Unfortunately, this seems virtually impossible for theocracies and non pluralistic societies to achieve.
