Corey is great, it’s always good to have peaceful discussion about this situation. Hopefully, one day we can put an end to all this and live our lives with love and peace. Please, keep the discussions going to remind us that we’re the same, it’ll come sooner than later. I still have hope for peace.
We can do it! It’s up to us to continue speaking and forming relationships. Peace is on the horizon.
Amen to that !!! It's up to the people to make it happen and build bonds, we cannot wait for leaders to do what needs to be done
The Palestinian conflict is very ingrained in Arab society so if we ask questions it’s because we’re part of the discussion as well
We can’t do it without each other!
@@kanekowalski4715 yes agreed, Palestinians need their fellow Arabs because we and them are family. But criticism is always acceptable
Jews and Arabs are cousins, Palestinians included. We must rekindle our cooperative spirit of many years ago. We’ve lived alongside each other before and we can do it again.
@@kanekowalski4715 when the Israeli government stops its bias laws, settlement building and targeted harassment and racism towards Arabs we can talk
We’re talking right now, and it has nothing to do with the Israeli government. We have a vote, but we’re not the government at all. The change will only come from people like you and people like talking.
I think Corey is great, he asks questions to the Israeli people that are quite shocking too, like the comparison to Nªzi Germany with Israel.
As to what Corey was saying about how ''Nobody in Palestinian society has been brave enough to address each other and say ''we've lost Palestine of 1947 and we need to cope and figure it out'' ''. Here's the thing Corey, it's hard to cope when you're under occupation. It's hard to ''cope'' when you're constantly being oppressed, killed, and literally being wiped off the face of the map. Palestinians won't accept such a lifestyle. Palestinians won't accept life without justice and the dignity of all human rights.
I agree to an extent. A situation like we have right now is not good enough. We should have been able to figure things out by now, so that people aren't suffering. However, I think what Corey is saying is that intimidating each other into keeping silent and not being open about the faults on BOTH sides, including their own, is not the way that you're going to get your situation improved. The reason that it's so easy for Israelis to ignore what's happening to the Palestinians is that they're scared of them, and the loudest voices we hear on the Palestinian side are the ones that call for violence. The ones actually trying to figure out the situation intellectually are not given enough attention. Instead, Israelis constantly hear 'Kill the Jews.' So it's a terrifying situation to be in when you feel your life is threatened, but speaking up with honest words is the only way there will really be any progress.
Excellent conversation. Good luck on the new channel!
Thanks so much, a lot more content coming you way soon
Fascinating to hear your opinions. You truely are totally disconnected from israel. Which is kind of amazing to see. Best of luck!
We're so glad you enjoyed the episode! Stick with us for more fascinating conversations with future guests.
Great to hear that you liked it, let us know if you have any subjects you would like us to hear us talk about
why dont you invite norman finkelstein to the show!!!!
Great idea we will do our best to get him on
Cory: But the PLO openly recognized Israel and called for a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders.
What agreement? How can Palestinians be pushed into an agreement that looks like Swiss cheese ? Who would accept ?
Yes it's knowledge for the outside Israel Palestine about Israeli and Palestinian in the reality so fact the real in West Bank, Judea,Shomron,Tel Aviv,Jerusalem also Jewish,Muslims, Christians person opinion from heart thanks to Corey project may be it is solution for peace and to know each other between Israel Palestine...
Aboud weren’t you and ur community leaders on Al Jazzera documentary!! A lot of pro Palestinian and anti Israel stuff was said! Issue with Samaritans, while I understand why they would be more pro Israel cuz they have more to gain but they tell the other side what they want to hear!
Abood here, I'm sorry but I'm not aware of the documentary you are taking about, we are always trying to be bridge of peace between both groups though :)
Corey is the only man in the middle east who speaks common sense
Israel is an effective Occupier. I am astounded at all they have achieved in the last 70 years. They have intelligently made the Palestinian Authority a Bantus-tan (refer to South Africa Apartheid). Why has no PA leader consistently pushed for peace with Israel? People on the ground on both sides want peace. (For sure there are outliers but the majority of people just want to live and raise families) BUT!!!! Because the Israeli government need a pretext for war and continued displacement they push PA to resist peace offerings or the peace offering that are made are laughable. Israeli leadership has repeatedly said that they plan to increase the settlements and increase the land belonging to them but how could they achieve that if the Palestinians want peace. These Zionists are so clever and they have the whole world fooled and the sad part is that Palestinians due to their lack of leadership are the ones suffering.
Israelis don't see themselves as occupier's, Jewish history in the land goes back over 4000 years. The conflict is very complex, peace has not yet been given a real try it's about time both sides sit like adults around the table and hash out a lasting peace deal so that Israeli's & Palestinians can share a better future
