So articulate. Edward has written some very important brilliant books. It is extremely heartbreaking what we are now seeing in Palestine and the west are complicate. I only became aware of Edward Said relatively recently but I am learning a lot. Thank you for sharing this video.🥀
The conversations on Zionism, settlers, resistance, Yasser Arafat and being a Palestinian with emphasis on having an understanding of the narrative and history are the ingredients of very significant dialog and greater awareness.
"They treat me as some sort of ambassador of terrorism" ... Edward Said on when he is invited for media debates. Since 1986 till 2023, it seems nothing has changed in the media discourse. Every Palestinian voice in the western media is treated exactly the same way ... "But do you condemn Hamas"
almost every interview has him having to condemn some action Israelis never have to condemn themselves and when they do...they blame the victims for teaching them to be violent.
At a certain point, you will have to stop blaming the West for everything and look at yourselves: at your inability to run a democratic and egalitarian society, at your abuse of women, at your religious extremism, at your sick victim consciousness, at your lack of talent to reach peace with your Western and non-Western neighbors, at the medieval mentality and your eternal refusal to criticize yourself and your actions.
@@ivok9846 Yes, now they are no longer threatened by Jews; they are back under the daily occupation and threat of having their entire existence and culture annihilated by Zionists.
Thank you ICA for bringing up this very informative interview from the past. It is important to have us Americans view the kind of information that our corporate run society has kept from us. If we were not fed programs like professional(fake) wrestling or cartoons or dim-witted sit-coms or all of the other garbage that most Americans have consumed which helps to explain our ignorance of the world, it would be a different world -- a more humane, peaceful, and civil world.
What a Blessing to have this Talk reminded to us These days or even hours, thank you! - Justice is Not to be found, maybe forgiving but that requires admitting all Injustice, Not to Name sin
How very prescient, my goodness. I can remember when we ate oranges with Jaffa stamped on them. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be made to leave the UK., although I tried Canada and Australia, I missed my green and pleasant land so much, just had to come home. I pray one day the Palestinians will have the same privilege 🙏
I wish students and teachers in any discipline listen to this discussion. It is an exemplary way of talking in a sane manner about an extremely sensitive subject which attracts more ignorant ranting rather than informed talk. Said is an important person to be read. So is Rushdie of course. Intellectuals such as these two and Chomsky are vital to prevent the complete displacement of dissenting voices
We all now realize in 2024 that the creation of computers, satellites, cell phones since this interview in 1986 have brought the world events into the hands of people everywhere who have a cell phone!
They are both great intellects and they disagreed on many issues, but humanity is better for having both of them, and if you wish Rushdie were dead, that shows that you are a religious fanatic who doesn't deserve to have a place in decent civillized conversation.
God Bless your soul, & Allah fills the hearts of your children as well as every single other member of your family as well as your friends from all over the World!!! You are still loved & respected, you are unique! I know what you said about your dad, he really didn’t mean it, your dad loved you as much as your loving mum. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I always look forward to watching all of your conferences a) Obviously regarding your Palestine, as well as the place where you were born Jerusalem!
Probably having 20 years of death hanging over his head which has completely changed his life and the public vicious attack finally happening where he went blind ...Iran backing proxies that are ruining peoples lives Not really surprising. It must be great not to have to do anything to end up being assaulted by a Islamic maniac
Don''t be negative, it reminds us a time when people could discuss even if they didn't agree on everything, I was interested to watch This encounter between the great Edouard Said and Salman Rushdie who can have some good ideas, we must not forget he comes from the left and he wrote "Children of midnight" about immigrants in UK
Enjoy this calm and sensible discussion because you will never see this again. Everyone has devolved into tik tok length sound bites and quick hits. No one even speaks this coherently anymore.
That's right. Who will replace these great intellectuals? Can mind like these even grow under the era of the internet and smartphones? Instead we have the grifters passing for intellectuals and the world will forget that conversations like this are even possible.
How prophetic that he says that the fate of Arafat is reflected in the fate of the Palestinian intellectuals and the younger generation. "What happens to him is a very important index as to what's going to happen to the rest of us."
The experiences of the Jews and Palestinians is so similar when cause and perpetrator are set aside. They have more in common than not. What if Palestinians are, at least in part, the descendants of the original Israelites? Surely, there is a way to peaceful co-existence for these nations that have both experienced so much loss
Nothing similar at all. The Palestinians have been treated badly, but nothing compares to the Holocaust. I don't understand the fascination with using Holocaust analogies (on either side) because the only real similarity is that Jews are involved.
@@mrmustard1633 I agree. The Jews have suffered more prior to 1948, and the Palestinians have suffered more since. I wish people could stop making comparisons and focus on what's happening now and how to resolve it

the irony of Netanyahu saying a Palestinian academic wants to kill him so he won't sit with him, to go on decades later to enact a genocide on Palestinians and target, amongst women, children and healtcare personnel, academics too is too much for me to process.

It’s pretty funny to see these two men together in a friendly conversation. I don’t think one would see Salman Rushdie in the same kind of company today!
He does. 😆 I gotta stick up for Kubrick a little - he died a few days after an argument with the producers of Eyes Wide Shut. They wanted to remove 18 min. (roughly) and he refused. Then he died. Despite his age, the timing is very suspicious given the plot and subject matter of the movie.
And the final cut didn’t have the 18 min. he wanted removed so the producers got their way. How nice for them! 🤨 ALWAYS ask, “Who benefits?” from certain events.
wild to see that this is the same Salman Rushdie that recently uttered the horribly orientalist and ignorant claim that an independent Palestinian state would look like a Taliban state
You might have missed the part where Rushdie had his eye gouged out by an Islamist because of a book he wrote decades ago. I imagine that tends to colour one's opinions. No doubt you think he deserved the fatwa which basically proves his point.
@@el-Cu9432 Some people think that people shouldn't be assassinated or have their eyes gouged out because of making statements or sharing ideas. It's a question of completely incompatible ethical standards.
@@rebeccaday8612 the 👁DF has killed 143 journalists reporting from Gaza since Oct. as of today, May 11, 2024 (source: PressTV) AJ headline Feb. 15, 2024: “Nearly 75% of journalists killed in 2023 died in Israel’s war on Gaza: CPJ “Committee to Protect Journalists says of the 99 journalists killed globally last year, 72 were Palestinians.” Did you know killing journalists is a w.a.r. c.r.i.m.e. and 🇮🇱 is committing them? This’ll probably be deleted…
This is ominous, Edward Said doesn’t know anything about Islamic fanaticism, Rushdie doesn’t take it seriously, this is 2 years before Hamas’s Charter and 3 years before the Ayatollah’s fatwa on Rushdie.
The connection of Islamic fundamentalism with serving the western imperial interests is uncanny. Like dedicating Rambo III to the brave Afghani people just to invade them 14 short years later in a war against terror? Or Khaled Mahfouz's of BCCI fame involvement in a SAAR Foundation via his lawyer Cherif Sedky lobbying for Muslims to vote for Dubya in 2000? X files stuff man.

If you don't understand words then don't talk about them. The translation is wrong. Zalim comes from zulm and zulm meaning not keeping things where they ought to be. In other words, not doing justice to things or ideas by keeping them where they don't deserve. Thus, idolatry and saying that there is someone else equal to God is essentially zulm. Menaing either you decrease God to the position of that idol which He doesn't deserve OR you increase the idol to the position of God which the idol and God both don't deserve. AND a person who does so is ZALIM. You have commited a logical fallacy or you have done so by purpose
Neither of them would agree with you or even like you..The only people that like you are your own kind. If only you had been born a century ago ! With a little travelling you would have found yourself in your spiritual homeland - only the people that now you profess to love were treated the way Palestinians are being treated today !
Palestinians and Arabs need more articulate voices like this. Not the radical views that are often shown on the Main Street media . I’m an Arab and I am ashamed of what I see everyday.
I think the whole reaction to his The Satanic Verses, including the fatwa from ayatollah Khomeini, severed him from the left. It seems like large parts of the left had a hard time condemning the fatwa and supporting Rushdie (this was before I was born, so I’m not totally sure), so my guess is that the whole affair around The Satanic Verses basically made it impossible for him to remain a part of the left.
If Salman Rushdie was living in the world of Islam today, he would be dead. Said points a finger at the west without pointing a finger at himself. Said is from the west writes a fictional account of the east, which includes himself in an unexpected and fictional character.
Ah same old equal blame BS. Muslims and Jews are playing the integral part in the building the alleged superiroty of the West as they serve as the reminder of innate white European superiority when compared to oriental despotism and innate stupidity aka. serving as living projection of things European enlightenment hate or see as deficient with themselves. Try reading Masaad's Islam in Liberalism and see how core premise of the Enlightenment as a project is deeply rooted in anti-Semitic and Islamophobic premises. Anti-Semitism for Jews and colonial Orentalism for Muslims same old story.
Who was the bleeding liberal the nutty Islamists of Iran did topple in 1979? A US bottom bitch grade A tyrant Shah Reza Pahlavi. So what is the US shtick with dictators and tyrants? As long as they are faithful servants of US who gives a crap about democracy? Have nice time with white Nazi messiah Trump bringing fascism to the US as everything US foreign policy did was exporting fascism.
Read the book and you will see why things turned out the way they did for him. His statements regarding Prophet Muhammad were intently provocative and insulting. He knew very well who he was dealing with and underestimated the consequences.
Archie Bunker used to simulate a suicidal act while his wife, Edith, waxxed on indefinitely. I understand him now. Take me, Elahi, leave me not to the grating sounds of Rushdie.
" the supremacist ideology of Imperialism "...? Despite their condemnation of Western Imperialism they both opted to enjoy the benefits of living in the hated " West "..? They could have chosen the Middle East , Africa , India etc . Did anyone ever ask them why they didn't...??
To answer Said's questions, there is no such thing as a "Palestinian" that excludes Jews. BTW Said is Egyptian, not a Palestinian, even though he'd like to identify as one. (So much for only American ignorance).
"there is NO such thing". There's been ethnic and religious tensions between Jews and Muslims ever since Abraham decided to get gnarly with a slave girl instead of his wife.
You're so right! ENOUGH with people having multiple identities based on multiple influences... EVERYONE must choose just ONE nation or region to identify with...and that's it! Brilliant!
Thirty eight years have gone past this conversation, it feels as if Dr. Edward Said is talking about today.
love Edward Said. My philosophy professor introduced me to him. ❤
Good for you.. I was not that lucky..

Thank you for sharing this video.🥀
21:15 For those listening in 2024 you will get the biggest shock when Said drops this name.

How is it possible that there isn't one comment on such an interesting conversation?
Perhaps everyone gave up after 15 minutes of waiting for Rushdie to let Professor Said speak.
They hid this video well....

2-yt search can be bad. very bad. searching literal, precise terms can produce irrelevant results...

Rushdie brought it on himself.

37.14 and yet not one woman in attendance spoke...
Three years later SR would get fatwed by the same people 😂
Read the book and you will see why things turned out the way they did for him. His statements regarding Prophet Muhammad were intently provocative and insulting. He knew very well who he was dealing with and underestimated the consequences.
@el-Cu9432 Wow, it seems to me you are justifying terrorism.
Oh, so it's Edward Said's show, according to Salman, but Salman will be the one who talks the most. Cool. Thanks for the barf bag necessity head's up.
Effin just let Edward speak!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Em Gee, I am screaming at the voice of this idiot. How in love are you with yourself?
Archie Bunker used to simulate a suicidal act while his wife, Edith, waxxed on indefinitely. I understand him now. Take me, Elahi, leave me not to the grating sounds of Rushdie.

" the supremacist ideology of Imperialism "...? Despite their condemnation of
Western Imperialism they both opted to enjoy the benefits of living in the
hated " West "..? They could have chosen the Middle East , Africa , India etc .
Did anyone ever ask them why they didn't...??

Can't abide the pompous Rushdie.....
To answer Said's questions, there is no such thing as a "Palestinian" that excludes Jews. BTW Said is Egyptian, not a Palestinian, even though he'd like to identify as one. (So much for only American ignorance).
You know what they say about needing to be able to acknowledge the problem before anything can be done about.
"there is NO such thing".
There's been ethnic and religious tensions between Jews and Muslims ever since Abraham decided to get gnarly with a slave girl instead of his wife.
You're so right! ENOUGH with people having multiple identities based on multiple influences... EVERYONE must choose just ONE nation or region to identify with...and that's it!
Brilliant!
I need to go to the optometrist because my eyes rolled so far back into my skull
