That opening line is so powerful - forcing anyone to negotiate under conditions like that, with the huge imbalance of power, it can't last; this is absolutely a thing the world needs to be aware of and considering. Thank you!
Hats off and great salute for this brave and resilient lady human rights lawyer who choose to use all the legal and technical means, rather choosing a radical and violent path, for the better of her own country.
A friend of mine spoke about "security" and what that meant/looked like to her (in a very real, deep way).. while listening to her speak about the IDF coming into her place and commandeer everything, makes me think about that conversation - she said, "Security is everything." - i can't imagine how incredibly terrorfying that must have been.. much less, the invasion of private space
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Salute to you Diana Buttu . Your voice resonate loud .palestinian apartheid by israel.
Israel brutal colonial settler regime apartheid ,stolen lands and genocide .
Nothing more than Propaganda on her side in reality how many Jews are in Palestine and how many Palestinians are in Israel. Palestinine is the real apatheid

Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, who was the Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s. Segev later told a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a “counterweight” to the secularists and leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat (who himself referred to Hamas as “a creature of Israel.”)
Wonderful interview with such an inspiring woman 🙏🏽
Blessings to Palestine 🇵🇸 🙏 ✨️ ❤
❤GOD BLESS YOU AND US ALL ❤
Beautiful opening, and it's tried and tested. You can't negotiate with power.
You’re right, Palestine will be free. ❤🇵🇸
Be brave and finish the sentence.. "... will be free from Hamas".
Well said Ms Buttu 👏 🙏♥️🇵🇸

Hundred years of atrocities and genocide against Palestinian people.
British mandate of Palestine 1921 and the Haganah forces committed injustices against Palestinian people for 27 years, killing and migrating thousands of Palestinian people to establish the Palestine occupation. The British forces left Palestine 1948 after the UN 1948 approved the Palestine occupation.
More than ten million Palestinian exiled, awaiting the return to Palestine.
You should speak about Victoria nuland 😂
This is the kind of voice we need in the west
Not Mohammad hijab and Linda sarsour
YEAH GOOD LUCK WITH THAT

A peace dream team, only AJ would dare to sell to soften its image, knowing full well that women have no say what so ever in the story.
They are playing house. So cute.
big cringe AI thumbnail
I know right 😂
Agreeeeeeere
🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
Why are you not lonche ur News in Urdu.
what a ridiculous looking AI generated thumbnail whoever made the decision to use that needs to be fired
Lol for real. AI over hyped. Predictive text still abysmal in 2025 😅
What funny is women are more warmongering than men. Just look at history up to the woman in charge of the EU. Where has she ever tried to negotiate peace in the Ukraine war? She has only sought to fund it.
Al jazeera goodbye
Goodnight Kemal!
No hope for this channel. Pure bs, as always.
No amount of Diana buttu propaganda going to help arab Palestinians,,,,,people who ask for liberalism should also occasionally show it
Should occasionally show it? What, exactly, does that mean?
i reported for sexual content.
I reported you for that
@@ExtraE-nr7ip and I reported you back 😁
And I reported both of you for violating RUclips’s guidelines for bickering.
The angry Austrian with the funny little mustache was right...
