Algeria suffered european settler colonialism for 132 until they fought them and kicked them out. Some people don't understand how brutal and violent settler colonialism is. Genocides are common crime in settler colonialism.
@@gusmartins3298 settler colonials do the same thing wherever they go. The french colonials burned 8000 villages along with the people alive inside.

All colonials read and act the same book.
LOL. Algeria is doing great: Problems facing Algeria today include. Inadequate supplies of potable water Corruption and poor governance Rising costs of living Strikes Unemployment Soaring prices Shortages of basic foodstuffs Deep economic crisis caused by the fall in oil revenues and aggravated by the coronavirus pandemic Political dysfunction Underperforming economy
@@Emily54670The mess Algeria is today has everything to do with colonialism. The "colonials" you kicked out probably had an idea about nation-building. I get the same chuckle about ANC-ruled South Africa today. SA is a hot mess with off-the-charts crime with more than" 27,000 annual murders and electricity off most days. Your government should contract some hard-working Dutch to come and colonize you and get the country back on its feet.
First of all, Hamas has accepted cease-fire deals, but the US comes out and always claims they have not while “Israel” has then “Israel” turned around and says no we don’t accept the deal. Second of all what about settler colonialism happening in the West Bank right now that needs to be addressed and solved for this to come to an end. Third of all on your point of war crimes, the US is just as complicit and culpable of committing war crimes as “Israel” is.
Why do you put Israel in quotes? I find that funny some people do that or how others say “Palestinians” or “Palestine”, as if putting the side you don’t like in quotes makes them illegitimate or their claims to the land illegitimate 😂. The truth is both sides have legitimate claims. And don’t tell me the Jews are just Europeans. They have ancestry to the land and the mizrahi Jews (Arab Jews who were expelled from their countries) make up a large part of the Jewish population in Israel. This isn’t to excuse Israel’s behavior (war, occupation, discrimination, among other revolting actions), but getting rid of Israel or so-called decolonization aren’t ethical solutions given that the vast majority of Jews were born there.

From March 2018 to late 2019, Palestinian protesters in Gaza gathered weekly near the Israel-Gaza border for the "Great March of Return" demonstrations. Israeli forces responded with live ammunition, tear gas, and rubber bullets. Over 200 Palestinians were killed during these protests, and thousands more were injured. Many of those killed were unarmed civilians, including medics, journalists, and children. There has been lots of crimes that Israel has done before the last year.
The number of Arab refugees created when your Arabs attacked Israel in 1948 has been grown by the corrupt UNRWA from 750,000 (the mythical Nakba) to now six million. Does any thinking person actually believe six million Arabs claiming a right to return are going to be taken in by Israel and if Israel is the great Satan why do they want to go there anyway?
there's a lot of styled facts in this video, that barely scratches the surface of how vile the settler colonialism is, it presents a trance of settlers as victims when that simply isn't the case, it's bleeding heart bad hasbara. the simple history is the Irgun, and terrorism based Zionism predated WW2, pretty sure Dr Finkelstein covered this.
An excellent explanation of settler colonialism and how it relates to the ongoing struggle of Palestinians and indigenous peoples of north America and elsewhere. This must stop!
It's a excellent explanation of the latest wokester dogma. I for one don't believe humans need a connection to long departed ghosts in order to sanctify where they live on the planet. If so Arabs would need to leave the region of Palestine and there will be a great crush as Muslims leave Europe.
Richard. Brilliant as per your usual. A little short in my opinion, but still invaluable. Thanks. Love you and Michael Hudson on Nima's show every time.
Sir! That was the best speech. The best analysis of the Palistinian story I've ever had the pleasure of hearing 💌 from Australia. I'm going to share it with as many as I can. 🙏👏👏👏👏👏👍🙏🕵️
There is way too much both-siding going on. 14:44 Implying Hamas is equally in the way of a path forward as Israel and the United States is infuriating.
He didn’t do any “both-siding.” He didn’t say they have equal responsibility/power to making peace. He just suggested Hamas plays a role to their bringing peace. After all, they do have hostages/captives and commit violence, including war crimes. Not to the level of Israel of course, but they aren’t completely blameless either.
@@timc1604 okay and do you also criticize everything, all the "war crimes" committed by the indigenous peoples, enslaved Africans in the US, Haiti, Africa, Caribbean, by the Jews of Warsaw?
@@dipropraubha9434 possibly. You would have to give me specific instances you want to discuss. But I’m not sure why you object to calling Hamas’ war crimes as war crimes. Even Wolff here calls them as much, as does Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian-American historian and harsh critic of Israel. Check out the interview with Khalidi in “Robinson’s Podcast.” It’s over an hour but well worth the watch on RUclips.
@@timc1604 because it's both-siding the issue. Even international law recognizes and somewhat "defends" or "justifies" the kinds of "war crimes" committed by the oppressed group, depending on the level of severity of the situation and particular context. I seriously encourage you to look into the form and severity of the examples I gave. If you think the 7th was bad...lol. You might want to prepare your heart and brain for what indigenous, Black, and Jewish peoples did to their oppressors as forms of resistance. You have no clue. Study the Haitian revolution and the conditions that came before, Turner's rebellion and the many many revolts in the US and especially Caribbean. What indigenous peoples did to settlers in the States because it's hilariously no different than Oc7 if not way WORSE. Jews in Warsaw is another good example. I can't say any details here unfortunately because my comment will get deleted. Also, you're citing ACADEMICS (on a planet dominated by imp. -i$m). I have all the respect in the world for all these left academics but you need to understand that literally any one of these people can and WILL say certain things in a certain way if there's certain forces at play, whether direct($) or indirect(environment, pressure). The only way an INTELLECTUAL will be 100% honest is if they're an active activist. Even one of my favs, one of the goats Tariq Ali came on democracy now and lied about my country, but I understand why he did it. They naturally don't have spines and can't blame them. It's their career and that's how the world works. We must learn how to use our own brains and think for ourselves
@@timc1604 bottom line is though- Newton's third law. And criticizing all those forms of resistance I mentioned is essentially objecting to their right to resist. Because again: Newton's third law.

The majority of Israeli Jews have European ancestry (as well as ancestors from ancient Israel), but the vast majority are born in Israel. I also have European ancestry, but I barely know the continent and am not European.
We have Dutch descendents in South Africa calling themselves Afrikaaners, they will never be African. They seem to forget where they came from whereas they were happy to be Europeans just before 1994.
Hamas has said they would accept the ceasefire deal Biden presented in late May, it was Bibi who added more conditions to it. Israel has also killed Hamas' chief negotiators, and the US has been saying for months that a deal is close and that they would like to see a ceasefire, but yet they keep sending weapons and vetoing UN resolutions to implement a ceasefire and supporting Palestinian statehood while the vast majority support both measures. Imo the heart of the Palestine/Israel conflict comes down to the US wanting to maintain regional dominance, Israel wanting to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state (which they see as an existential threat) & to expand into a greater Israel, and the Palestinians wanting the 70+ years of brutal occupation, apartheid, Gaza concentration camp, and stealing of land and homes to end.
I wish i found Richard years ago. But its been a year now and there is not a thing i dissagree with. He has the same ideas just better ways of explaining it
I remember well what the British had to say about that. They told me, they were helping the people there by giving them an employment, as well as educating them (or pacify them) and make them civilised.
Well-said. These are harrowing, grave times indeed, in the history of humanity. I have often found myself wondering, of late, if America's war-mongering efforts around the world are ruthless strategies enacted to prop up the failing economy.
One problem with you assessment Mr. Wolff. Half the JEWS in Israel are from Arab countries and were persecuted there for millennia. They are not European settlers. Another problem with you assessment is that JEWS are indigenous to Israel, at least more than the Palestinians who took on that name in 1964.
Yes, it is not a proxy war like Ukraine or Taiwan, but a settler colonial project which in addition has the issue of the elites of both, Israel and USA/UK being extremely co-mingled through marriage and financial interest.
There so many issues and aspects to the current events in the Middle East. I’m looking at the individual Israeli soldiers… at what they are being commanded by their superiors to do . What are they feeling? Either they have been convinced or brainwashed into believing that their barbaric actions are justifiable and right,or they have turned off their sense of human decency just so they can function. Beware. When you join the military, you stop being an individual and you become a tool without the right to act according to your conscience. And the emotional damage you experience as a result,is often not because of what has been done to you but by what you have done to others!
If you read Jabotinsky's 1923 "Iron Wall" you'll find the author stating the Zionist Project is "just and moral" - which it in fact "is" to the same extent the Apartheid in South Africa or the French colonization of Algeria were.
Professor, you are ( and I´ve already said that here on youtube) one of my best friends inside my gauche solitude -- which bends to the left I´m a Brazilian almost elderly, and I´d like to extern my salute to you -- kind of warrior with out swords, words of trues only having. So therefore... ... Excuse me for my rococo poor style trying to be a shakesperian one
Prof. Wolff speaks with eloquence and clarity. He enunciates basic realities in a way that defies refutation. He gives the lie to the oft repeated notion that the conflict in the Middle East is very complicated. No, it's not.
Hamas has agreed israel change goalposts because bibi cant have a ceasefire did same in Lebanon ceasefire...you dont kill a leader if you want a ceasefire...upto that point agree with you
Clear facts and great analysis. Yet the ulrimate conclusions from them must be : only a one-state solution - a democratic and nonaparteid state- could be now on the table, to be enforced by the international community. A two-state solution has been de facto rendered impossible by Israel based on hard facts created on the ground.
About time my favorite professor has have spoken about the reality of was going on in Israel, his speech right on targeted, no question about it, he knows exactly from long time ago the story of the new state of Israel. None one but him to explain the way it's, the cruel reality of it, even though I'm knew before I did my own research, I did my home work real well. But I really love to hear from him exactly in a very explanatory way the this story develops until our days. Bravo dr Richard wolf. Love to see in action again, ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉.
I think Professor you should research a bit more about New Zealand, we have a multi-cultural society and have integrated the Maori population into many parts of this society. We don't have reservations like the United States and Australia. However, we do have a lower class(Poor) and a high prison population that is significantly filled by the Polynesian/Maori population. Also, Oct 7 may have been a war crime by Hamas taking hostages and having a firefight within a civilian event(Should never have been there in the first place) However, Hamas primarily destroyed a military target that housed two units of Special Forces, which is not a war crime. I understand what is being said here but the truth is a significant number of civilians were killed by the IDF enforcing a Mass Hannibal Directive using helicopter gunships and many other devices to kill what they believed to be Hamas fighters in the black of night.
Nobody is forced to live on a reservation in the USA. Most ppl of native decent have jobs, live in houses, drive cars and shop at Whole Foods. Bc, well, it beat living in a teepee for no reason.
@@MusicSoundPlayer Depends where your from. Many in the US live in serious poverty with a casino nearby. Australia is full of indigenous people living in serious poverty.
@@wayneshilcock3027 That's bc you aren't defining people of native decent as native. The left need to drop this issue, the problem is capitalism - but I do understand the New Zealand is unique in this way. You are just telling me that people live in poverty, ok, what is the cause?
@@MusicSoundPlayer The cause is lack of job creation, lack of programmes the help with self motivation and depression based on lack of job opportunites and arrogant politicians that believe the population is the problem and not their policies. Sadly native population is the one to shoulder the brunt of the poverty issue.
The Hannibal Doctrine is essentially a murder-suicide directive, those tanks and Apaches burning and flattening houses and the large numbers of vehicles did not "believe they were killing Hamas militants" - that'd be rather illogical.
The difference with this war is that Israel has only fought very short wars in the past, and the fact that Hamas kept them engaged for over a year,can only be a divine event. Without an army, or an airforce, what were the chances of a liberation fighters on October 7, 2023?
Good morning, Mr. Wollf Jewish people aepre not settelers. They oun the land for 5000 years. The "Palestinians" are original from the Arab countries. It looks like you have missed history. Wake up !
Yes they were of course, just like a dozen European nations - includin Russians as well. I think the Prof referred to them all when he explained that the British became the largest one.
Thank you for your clarification, it's hard to find trustworthy sources of enlightenment on today's highly biased and untrustworthy press/media. A person is left to their intuition as facts are often difficult, impossible, or conflicting. I am truly grateful for your presentation.
The big banks got bailed out. The homeowners were evicted from under water mortgages. Many just walked away. Too bad they did not have BRICS to protect themselves from the (planned) Great Recession.
Why you all seem to forget the genocides against Rif people by the Spanish, French, American, German and Moroccan regimes? which was the first time in history to use chemical weapon against civilians and poison water and food resources. The land still infertile till these days. and people are highly suffer the cancer rate and whenever they raise to speak out their agony the US-France supported dictatorship of Morocco double-down its classical oppression on the whole region.
I have learned so much listening this this, and other if your videos. Thanks for educating me. I would like to add the Maori have the Treaty of Waitangi which has helped them hold onto their rights, but the Politician's keep trying to change it. It's a constant fight.

It's BOTH a settler-colonial Zionist Project (which started in the late nineteenth century actually) AND a proxy war - look up "Framing Palestine".
Thank you, Sir.
There so many issues and aspects to the current events in the Middle East.
I’m looking at the individual Israeli soldiers…
at what they are being commanded by their superiors to do .
What are they feeling?
Either they have been convinced or brainwashed into believing that their barbaric actions are justifiable and right,or they have turned off their sense of human decency just so they can function.

@@wayneshilcock3027 That's bc you aren't defining people of native decent as native. The left need to drop this issue, the problem is capitalism - but I do understand the New Zealand is unique in this way. You are just telling me that people live in poverty, ok, what is the cause?
@@MusicSoundPlayer The cause is lack of job creation, lack of programmes the help with self motivation and depression based on lack of job opportunites and arrogant politicians that believe the population is the problem and not their policies. Sadly native population is the one to shoulder the brunt of the poverty issue.
The Hannibal Doctrine is essentially a murder-suicide directive, those tanks and Apaches burning and flattening houses and the large numbers of vehicles did not "believe they were killing Hamas militants" - that'd be rather illogical.
Thank You Wolf! please keep speaking the truth.
💯 % true. We in the Netherlands were specialists in this manner to. Even to date when we go abroud we have the same mentality.... Its in the DNA 😢
Amazing Knowledge... live long Prof. RICHARDWOLFf
Simply and beautifully explained. Thank you sir.
Great Analogy. Thank you Dr. Walff!
my favorite intellectual!!!
Thank you for the truth.
The difference with this war is that Israel has only fought very short wars in the past, and the fact that Hamas kept them engaged for over a year,can only be a divine event.
Without an army, or an airforce, what were the chances of a liberation fighters on October 7, 2023?
💯
Some would argue that Tyrkey, Saudi and the EU is on Israels side as well, making it even harder to stop the genocide....
Very informative. History of colonialisms still continues. I totally agree with his explanation.
Amén professor
TRUTH!
"settlers" are also Americans
Settler colonialism was done also in Europe
Good morning, Mr. Wollf Jewish people
aepre not settelers. They oun the land for 5000 years. The "Palestinians" are original from the Arab countries. It looks like you have missed history. Wake up !
Sad but true. They appear to want to lie to themselves out of excessive guilt till the end.
You forgot Ireland.

Weren't the Spanish settler colonialists?
Yes they were of course, just like a dozen European nations - includin Russians as well. I think the Prof referred to them all when he explained that the British became the largest one.
I believe Tomas refers to Spain which took back its country after pushing Islam out of Spain with the reconquista in 1400 @@BiharyGabor
@@antoinenyc2 Good point, yes he could. But I don't think he did. Maybe he tells us.
Do you think a universal wage would resolve the slave labor?
no...please tell me your not serious
why do we need to be paid and why do we need to be slaves? why do we need permission for living?
Thank you for your clarification, it's hard to find trustworthy sources of enlightenment on today's highly biased and untrustworthy press/media. A person is left to their intuition as facts are often difficult, impossible, or conflicting. I am truly grateful for your presentation.
British made a big mistake they should sent all jews to Falkland Island
Unfortunately that is not another "land without a people".
Unfortunately, Palestine was favoured by Rothschild and built their victimhood and antisemitism around it from day one.
The same prize was awarded to former Fed chair Bernanke largely for his heroic rescue of the failing banks during the 2008 GFC. 🤔🙄
The big banks got bailed out. The homeowners were evicted from under water mortgages. Many just walked away.
Too bad they did not have BRICS to protect themselves from the (planned) Great Recession.
Peace needs help

I Really respect your opinion

Why you all seem to forget the genocides against Rif people by the Spanish, French, American, German and Moroccan regimes? which was the first time in history to use chemical weapon against civilians and poison water and food resources. The land still infertile till these days. and people are highly suffer the cancer rate and whenever they raise to speak out their agony the US-France supported dictatorship of Morocco double-down its classical oppression on the whole region.
I have learned so much listening this this, and other if your videos. Thanks for educating me. I would like to add the Maori have the Treaty of Waitangi which has helped them hold onto their rights, but the Politician's keep trying to change it. It's a constant fight.
