Some speakers, like Norman (ruclips.net/video/vhFm62msNGc/видео.html), are whip-smart and all I can do is ask a question before letting them take me along for the ride. Others are just as sharp, but the interview is an entirely different experience. I feel silly being this dramatic, so forgive me; it just seems that what follows is the proper extended metaphor to describe our conversation. Rashid crackles with energy when he talks, just as if he were a fighter. Even if he’s not using his fists, his cadence is like a boxer’s and I had to roll with the punches. This was another great one, and as usual I bear very little responsibility beyond sticking it out in the ring. I’m going to resist the urge to make any more boxing comments and instead finish with this: Thanks for listening. - Robinson P.S. In a number of recent episodes I’ve mentioned Maui Nui Venison, which is a company operating out of Hawaii that manages the invasive deer population of Maui that is decimating the landscape. Instead of culling the animals and disposing of their bodies, the meat is butchered and sold. It is the only meat I eat, full-stop, and the ethical reasons are sufficient for this, but it is also the best meat that I have ever eaten. I reached out to Maui Nui and told them that I support what they are doing and would like to be of any help that I can. They gave me this coupon code-ROBINSON-which you can use for 20% off. I am not being paid for this in any way. I believe in what they are doing and I want this model to succeed. People are going to be eating meat for the foreseeable future and I would be happier if it was not factory-farmed meat. So please check Maui Nui out and give them a try!
I could listen to Professor Khalidi for hours. I first heard him speak during the Palestinian Festival of Literature talk with Ta-Nehisi Coates and Michelle Alexander. His wealth of historical knowledge is impressive. Mad respect for his calm demeanor under what I cannot even imagine must be extremely difficult for him on a personal level. Thanks for having him on.
Lol I find this so funny the so called jews are converts they are European they are not from that part of the world not even the Arab this was African country the Arabs was the first slave traders 1000 years before a European even know about the world Christianty and Islam have been killing more African than any race From dr clarke go do homework
Since October 7th, I've been reading a lot more about the conflict but this interview right here is THE consummate interview for anyone who needs to understand the Palestinian perspective. Mr. Khalidi has exlained everything in such simple language that even someone with zero insight into the conflict will come out on the other side with a robust understanding of how we can't view the events of Oct. 7th in a vacuum. I've realised in my readings the colonial nature of Israel and how it almost operates as a proxy extension of the American imperial empire and Rashid doesn't even go near that area of the conflict. This is a conversation that is very much moderate in its politics, appealing to consider just the humanity of the Palestinians and nothing else. Kudos! And thanks for letting Mr. Khalidi speak uninterrupted. I'm sharing this video to everyone I know who is curious and at loss about where to start when it comes to learning or researching this issue. And I also just placed an order for his new book!
@@musically_insane the “Palestinian Perspective” is to rape, pillage and plunder to justify false claims of entitlement to the land G-d gave to the Jews
Cancel legacy media cancel tv licence ...i m 56 and didnt understand take notice until the 7th .i turned to independent media thats what showed me what the bbc etc were upto
Agreed. I’m a 61 year old Canadian and the same thing happened to me. Main stream media cannot be trusted. They are basically agents of the state with no journalistic integrity.
I'm 35 and am in the same boat. The propaganda was strong. I'm glad my rose coloured glasses have been shattered, and I now know the truth, as ugly as it is. As painful as it is. By the 9th of October, after absorbing the nonsense on msm, my first thought wasn't, oh wow - they are evil. Rather, why would a group of people do that? Once you understand the why, you can't take msm seriously, and the progaganda fails.
Me too I’m 64 and dismayed 😩 that it’s taken me till now 🥹 to really learn & understand about the misinformation we are all fed on mainstream news 😡. I have now found so many wonderful independent investigative journalists online & learnt so much, I now have such a hunger to ensure I know the truth and to apply critical thinking to all information I consume.
Imagine, thinking this conflict is hard to understand, Muslims are colonizers from Arabia, and have been murdering any one day Ken for over 1000 years, that’s all you need to know
@@robinsonerhardt I really wonder how you can fall for bullshitters like Finkelstein. Finkelstein thinks Russia had the right to invade Ukraine; the terror attack on Charlie Hebdo was justified; Holocaust denier Irving is a „great historian“; Palestinians in Gaza are equal to Jews in Germany during WW2; etc.
Actually since Oct 7th I have seen Prof Khalidi become despondent. I know he retired and is probably taking time out - but you can tell. He hasn't done that many interviews in the last year, so well done for getting him on.
Please read about these things as well since you are interested: Jewish Militias: Lehi, Irgun, Hagana Incidents: King David Hotel bombing, Lavon Affair, USS Liberty Share this with others
You don't have to be sorry for something you didn't choose, elect or even shape any of its policy....Egyptian are under occupation as Palestinian hopefully one day Egyptian people will rise again
I know and Egypt is holding massive armoments in the Sinai Peninsula in exchange of billions of dollars US is giving Egypt every year. Don't get me wrong. I love Egyt but I think it has sold its soul to the Yahuds and kufr.
Governments are far worse than people. Israel just happens to be a country where everyone is in the government, except for the curated 20% "Arabs" and the non-Zionist Haredi Jews.
It is always an honor to hear Rashid Khalidi speak. I’m always getting an education on history concerning the Middle East , his historical perspectives are always phenomenal!
Great effort of Rashid Khalidi to put a human face to this really dire and obscure times. His last remarks on victimhood are really profound. In spite of all the pain, there are many Israelis and Palestinians who are able to talk to each other and to understand each other. Peace is not a dirty word. Those who are the strongest are choosing that path, they are the guiding light. Talking to the one who is different and trying to find a common ground is the bravest thing that can be done right now. Thanks for a great interview. Let’s continue protesting and challenging the mainstream narrative. Thanks for this interview.
This was a fantastic interview, thanks for doing it. You have a gracious way of asking intelligent questions and I'm glad you pose challenging problems that you've heard from the other side of an issue.
Great interview!! Isn't it insane that we live in a world where logical thought is so inverted that Mr Khalidi describing something so obvious is an 'opposing' view to the current situation in West Asia!
They ended their future October 7. That marked the day all chances of statehood ended. Welcome to reality. We gave them many opportunities to be a state. They chose war over peace. They made their bed. Now they must sleep in it. They hitched their horses to Jihad. This was a poor decision.
@@TheOldTurds-c7c Yes, for Israel! 🇵🇸 Palestine will be one state from the river to the sea with democracy, UNIVERSAL human rights for EVERYONE, as BEFORE for many thousands of years. He's were always welcome. Europe has always been anti Jew, never west Asia.
Dr. Khalidi respectfully forgets that israel doesn't care about public opinion, it cares about public (in)action. The lack of action by world leaders only encourages Israel to be bolder in their ambitions.
I hear what you were saying and personally speaking it causes me a lot of anguish as I watch my own government do virtually nothing in the face of a genocide. That said, it is undeniable that the younger demographic overwhelmingly condemn Israel's military conduct and I believe this will eventually be reflected in future western governments as the old guard gives way to the new. I feel there is reason for hope but there will be many dark days and probably years still ahead.
@@bendybruce my fear is that when the younger demographic reaches a position of power and influence, it will already be too late. We need action NOW, not in 20 years
I would disagree on their lack of action, the action of Western world leaders is to give aid military and financial to Israel while maybe sometimes talking about a ceasefire. Which is a deliberate contradiction, if they wanted a ceasefire they should stop the military aid (especially the US). They are as invested and complicit in the genocide and occupation as Israel is
It was a pleasure to listen to Professor Rashid Khalid on the unfortunate history of the Palestinian people. No one else can explain the past 100 years in Palestine in such detail as Khalid because his origin is from Jerusalem, Palestine. Thank you Robinson! ❤️🇵🇸🕊
I was fortunate to attend a talk by Professor Khalidi in UCC recently about the history and current genocide (I refuse to call it a conflict or war). For someone so intensely personally connected to it all, he presents the facts in such an objective and measured manner. He is a much better man than I
The Nakba was the consequence of Arabs 5 army invasion to Israel in aim to eliminate it in 1948. The Arabs started the war and got Nakba. In Oct 7 the Hamas invaded to israel and the Palestinian got the second Nakba.
@@yelenas7923Was literally debunked in this very video if you cared to watch it in its entirety. Your narrative is outdated and people know the true events of the Nakba.
Robinson, and guests (and crew?)! Especially of late, you have been striking such a perfect symbiosis between the philosophical, psychoanalytic, scientific, and the political-the theoretical, analytical, and the applied. Bravo! I commend you on your genuine curiosity which drives you to grow, and thank you for letting us in on these profound discussions for us to grow along with you! Keep it up, comrade! You're doing important and deeply meaningful work. Peace ✌🏼 Quinn
I have also broadened my knowledge; the method of the establishment of the state of Israel is shameful. Israel doesn’t want to talk about it very much.
Bullshit you don't know anything about Israel or palestine if you did you'd know the exact opposite is true. That under the dome of the rock is the Jewish temple. You people are soo sick for lying about history. Israel has been Jewish for thousands of years before the first Muslim was ever born. Tell me who the first leader of palestine was ?
Egypt was ruled for a very short period by Mohammad Mursi from the Muslim Brotherhood, after the Arab Spring and the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak. Under his rule the Gazans had it pretty good - they could freely go back and forth over the border. But he was overthrown in a military coup backed by the United States and replaced by the military dictatorship of General al-Sisi, who has been horrible for Gaza. Hamas is basically the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
I find it interesting that Khalidi does not see gaza as a concentration camp saying ‘well because people are put into concentration camps to be put to death’ and that’s not always true. The US and Canada had concentration camps they called internment camps where they put Japanese, Germans and Italians during WWII. A concentration camp is simply a place where people are concentrated. Prisons are places where criminals are concentrated for example. The history of concentration camps should not exclude the many reservations created to concentrate native Americans.
@o2kala649 while your definition of the term 'concentration camp' is true I think Dr Khalidi is simply showing some (reasonable, and perhaps even needed) sensitivity in refusing to use the term 'concentration camp' in this instance, given as he expressed the association with the Nazi 'death camps'. While I didn't hear him use the term in the broadcast portion of this interview, I've hear the term of 'world's largest open air prison' used which conveys a sense of the reality, as does another term he did use "Bantustan", and feel that sensitivity to language isn't just 'interesting' but 'necessary' in constructive dialogue.
I really get angry when we discuss whether genocide is being committed or not. A certain state is bombing a place where half of the population is children, and per day on average more than 10 children are losing a limb, and over 42.000 people die due to the heavy bombardment of that certain state. And meanwhile we, from our safe homes, are trying to figure out what to call this!!! As asked by Jerusalem-born Miko Peled, ''Are we out of our minds? ARE WE OUTSIDE OF OUR MINDS ???
I appreciate what you say but Dr Khalidi was very careful and correct to point out that genocide is a legal term. The significance will be whether CJ rules on it. The ramifications of that (eg arrest warrants, ban on member states assisting etc.) are what's important but sadly only in the long run. In the meantime we as citizens can decide we condemn the action of Israel as we should condemn Hamas for war crimes as Dr Khalidi pointed out.
There isn't genocide. It's rather annoying people think it is. The truth is that the ICJ will eventually tell the world there is no genocide, but unfortunately I already know what the world's response will be. Of those 42,000 dead people are at a minimum 20,000 Hamas. Hamas spent 35 years turning the Stirp into a terror based with their #1 objective to ensure maximum civilian death. Not 1 bomb shelter built, embed military installations behind, within and underneath civilians such as schools, playgrounds, children's bedrooms, mosques hospitals, etc, and lastly refuse to allow even one child to seek refuse in their over 700 miles of terror tunnels. #1. That Civilian Death Ratio is far lower than numerous instances of modern warfare, including Iraq, where the ration was 77%. #2. Israel takes enormous effort to minimize civilian death, more so than any military has done in history vie pamphletting, leafletting, phone calls, emails, text messages, loudspeaker, and roof knocking. #3. The ratio would be even lower If Hamas did not use the civilian population as camouflage. ie if they put on their uniforms and did not hold civilians as human shields. Sinwar himself came out and said, just recently, the more civilians' deaths the better for Hamas. They have also made it clear that they worship death more so than Jews worship life. Ther are, in the literal sense, a death cult. It's as if you walk through life with blinders on.
New follower of your work, you are making a great progress and development of these interviews set ups and you bring amazing guests and ask useful questions not like mr moral quandary... Keep going Robinson !
@@robinsonerhardt You're making a good career out of being uninformed. Perhaps you should have on guests who can teach you something and not idiots like this guy who thinks the Balfour Declaration was a declaration of war.

Excellent conversation. I really appreciate how you let your guest talk, how open and 'out of the way' you are while asking clear and meaningful questions, thank you!
Robin is what Lex Friedman dreams of becoming when he grows up. I am impressed, very impressed. also kudos on not platforming Nazis like other podcast bros, and actually bringing productive discussions on the table. Thank you for doing this Robin. Your talks have helped my family to see beyond Zionism and support the resistance against colonialism.
Colonialism is what the Muslim empire has been doing for centuries, in this case in judea, but in dozens of other lands too. Or do you believe Arab was the original language of Egypt, Syria, Morocco, libia, etc etc
@@casey7411 having seen hours upon hours of both speaking, it is my understanding that professor Khalidi thinks that the 2 state solution and those pushing it are crazy because of everything that’s happened(even prior to 7/10) and Finkelstein still stands by it as it’s the consensus as to how to resolve the conflict
@@casey7411 also I recommend you watch an Upfront episode with Finkelstein being interviewed by Mehdi Hasan, that’s where I first noticed that some Palestinians(including diaspora ones) kinda growl at Finkelstein
If an old wise man tells you that something really hard can be done, you can fully trust his judgment. If, however, he tells you that it can't be done, assume that he might be wrong.
9:37 May 21, 2011 was the beginning of judgement day on the world - that message was proclaimed loudly and clearly throughout the entire world - you were WARNED Mr Khalidi said he does not see the bible connection of ancient Israel carried 2000 years later (nor should he). Mark 11;13,14 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it. That was the end of the ancient nation of Israel. God made them a proverb and a byword, he divorced ancient Israel as his chosen people. Matthew 24;32 Now learn the parable of the fig tree; When his branches are yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, know ye that summer is nigh. Mark 13;28 Now learn the parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near. This is when the proverb and byword become a sign to the churches of summer. The "fig tree" was once again a nation (1948, modern nation of Israel; nothing but a sign) It was time to look for summer... 1974 the biblical calendar was unsealed and published. May 21, 1988 The Holy Spirit left the churches for their destruction. September 7, 1994 The latter rain began outside any organized religion (they held corrupt gospels). The great multitude were being saved from peoples, nations and tongues scattered all over the world. SUMMER The true and faithful gospel was preached by the elect who had come out of the churches. ( and NO, they are not in the modern nation of Israel ) May 21, 2011 on the 17th day of the 2cnd month exactly 7000 years to the selfsame day (17th day of 2cnd month in 4990BC) after God shut the door to the ark, He shut the door to heaven. All of his elect had become saved. Alleluia. It was necessary for the precise dates to be known so that the trumpet could be sounded loudly and clearly for the last of the elect to hear. God made it happen exactly as the times and seasons written were fulfilled.

Your channel should have millions of subs. I’m blown away. You have an outstanding interview style, and you’ve had some amazing guests on, lately. Thank you for all of your hard work and diligence!
Thank you for this video. Your guest is knowledgeable of the topic. It's a pleasure listening to him and learn what I did not know before. Thank you both.
It's ridiculous that Rashid Khalidi needs to explain to our racist society the basic human rights of people to life and freedom. He does it so eloquently though, so thank you for bringing this interview together!
people's rights to life and freedom depend on them accepting the right of others to life and freedom as the so called "balestinians" can't accepts jews' , israelis' and basically anyone else's right to life and freedom, they shouldn't cry when israel retaliates agains their barbaric, inhumane actions
He's a colonist (a non-Native American living on Native American soil) telling the world that Jews (including Mizrahi Jews who are indigenous to the Middle East) are uniquely disgusting for creating a very tiny Jewish-majority liberal democracy with 2.1 million Arab citizens who are wealthier and freer than most Arabs in the Middle East.
Human rights ? What on earth does that fancifull ideal have to do with the reality of human evolution? We evolve toward a destiny. Israel is a modern and fast developing society. Same as america” yes many mistakes have been made a long the hard road .a civil war? Two world wars? Still it has become the most prolific an powerfull nation on earth and i add ,all in 270 years. Soon “that nation will take us out into our galaxy to explore gods realm ,while islam festers in myth and legend. Putin will die and the good russian people will benifit from their massive recourses .since 1917 ? Stolen by a few who plundered it all in war and grand lifstyle. Human right is not something you get by right ‘ same as respect? You earn it. At this time israel is doing the worlds dirty work in removing evil . A job that UN and icc should have done after the 7 th day attack. History has shown that intelligence always wins, neanderthall man gave us that message. In this evolutionary process many among us lagg behind in there dreamy world of ideals. War is war” many die but we dont expect to recieve a bullet to the back of the head while standing defenceless. God bless america and all its allies. Life goes on! Shakespeare countryU K
Thanks a ton for this interview. I've watched hundreds of hours of political commentary here on RUclips to get a better understanding of the g-cide that's going on, and this interview offers the most lucid explanation of the events leading up to where the middle East finds itself now.
The suffering of the people of Gaza is unspeakable; it's horrendous. We have exhausted the vocabulary of the English language in order to describe what has befallen Gaza 🇵🇸♥️😪🇵🇸♥️😪
@chfHerze. Yes, agree that it's horrendous that Hamas will not allow the Jordanians and Egyptians occupying Gaza to flee to safety when Israel is returning fire due to the constant rockets fired and because of the horrendous acts by Hamas (supported by the Gaza civilians) on Oct 7. Also horrendous, the Yazidi girl held captive by the noble muslims in Gaza. The nightmare that has befallen Gaza is Hamas who were voted in by the people of Gaza.
Of course it is. you believe Israel has no right to exist. Yet, you condemn Israel for defending itself and for not negotiating with people who feel the same way you do! I can't imagine why Israel would not negotiate with people who believe they have no right to exist, and who 's codified raison d'etre - written in their own Charter - is the annihilation of Israel, and who will breach any peace agreement the first chance they get. Are you aware that the Hamas Charter makes it a crime to even consider peaceful negotiations with Israel? Yes, they say all such people will burn in hell. Hamas is clear, they will never negotiate peace with Israel, and that they exist to make Israel cease to exist. Hezbollah's 1985 Open Letter is the same. They are mere puppets to Iran who's #1 objective is the annihilation of Israel, not statehood for Palestinians. If you think Iran care a shit about Sunni Palestinians, you're not following the bouncing ball in the Middle East. Iran is responsible for the death and starvation of MILLIONS of Sunnis throughout the ME, but especially in Yemen and Syria. Yet you think Iran has risked it's national wellbeing and safety to rescue Sunni Muslims who live in Palestine? LOL. Hey, I'm selling bridges this weekend too.
Having not yet been barred from referring to a calendar, one recalls that a strong opponent of the 1948 Israel Experiment was murdered shortly before he could give his (logical) argument against it at the U.N. (having helped oust the U.K. Colonial Project in India - he was against a new U.K.-sponsored Colonial Project). And later in 1948 after Gandhi was (false-flag) murdered, the First PM of Pakistan dies of an "illness" (coincidentally on Sept. 11).
Appreciate the fact that you're bringing Palestinian voices on.. it is so hard to find alternative media having our voices on. May I suggest adding other names to your list like Dr. Sami Al Aryan, Dr. Tamim Al Barghouthi, Iyad El Baghdadi, Mariam Barghouthi and Mohammed El Kurd.. mind you many of those won't be able to travel to the US, but it is worth a shot And to counter some of Dr. Khalidi's talking points.. 1. I agree, this war is an American led war for dominance in the region with the absence of a true leader 2. The Nakba started since the first establishment of a "settlement" in the region, you may check some of the documentaries about Deir Yasin and how terrorists organizations like the Haganah, Stern & Irgun (which became the fetus for the Israeli forces later on) have committed crime after crime to ethnically cleanse many cities, doing so as well into Arab-Jewish neighborhoods in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt to convince them to leave their homes and fill up the empty voids after the Nakba 3. I disagree with Dr. Khalidi's perspective on Zionism. As a movement it wanted nothing but to ethnically cleanse us Palestinians from our lands to fill it with European Jews to export the "Jewish problem" of Europe to the east of the Mediterranean, reviving the crusades and controlling the region via this state, all while leaving Jews of the world this time to suffer the consequences of all that will unfold while detatching themselves from all the evil it has done and will do in the future. 4. Agree, it will take a generation to rebuild Gaza, to rebuild the city and the people who have gone unimaginable pain and suffering, so it will be really difficult to convince them to not retaliate with the Israelis as Dr. Khalidi has said.. imagine losing a limb, seeing the roof of your home fall on your entire family leaving you alone in this world then try and speak logic to a population of the world already known to be extremely emotional. 5. Israel is committing a genocide. If you bomb hospitals, schools used as shelter, bakeries and any infrastructure in town using the disgusting alibi of "human shields", then of course it is a genocide 100%. 6. The war crimes committed are going to last a generation to retaliate, if you think you're safe in whatever bubble you are in now, be rest assured something will happen next door to where you live. I'm not saying this as a threat, I'm saying this so people understand the severity of what has happened to us Palestinians, and how we'll go far and beyond as a people to avenge the death of our loved ones. And I hope & pray no more innocent civilians get caught in the middle. 7. Fuck El-Sisi and the entire Egyptian military complex, if there's hell, and most of us Palestinians believe so, these will definitely be the first to stay in it forever. 8. The war already began a while ago, it has more fireworks and bangs this time around 9. Israel won't conquer Gaza.. it has ruined 90% of its own economy just to settle in Gaza? How will it bring more settlers into a war zone? After doing every atrocity anyone can think of? After causing so much harm that every man, stone & tree has a score to settle with them? Give me a break! 10. It will take time.. we've seen this for many years. Baghdad fell for the Mongols in 1258 killing every soul in sight (over a million residents at the time). Jerusalem had over 400k residents when the crusaders killed every Muslim, Jew & Christian when they first came. We will rebuild it, but surely it will take time
Awareness is certainly created in this interview of the movement of people from refugee camps to Gaza and all the current destruction of people's lives and property.

awesome man, thanks for doing this. the things i’ve heard about Rashid have led me to believe he might be the type that blindly defends the Palestinians and won’t acknowledge any faults or mistakes on their part. this conversation clearly shows that he is very fair and respectful to both peoples, which is what we need so badly. i’m much more on the side of the Palestinian cause and their fight for equal rights and equal humanity, and i think the best advocates are the ones who can be honest about the failures of both peoples and who are clear-eyed about the conflict as a whole.
Thank you. I am so tired of people in the people around me ignoring reality by throwing up their hands and using the "religious war"/both sides talking point. I have been telling folks who are curious to look at Balfour, and go from there forward.
@pickyourswithcoriginal. Perhaps you are ignoring reality. The muslim holy book instructs believers to strike at the Jews many times. Palestinians are predominately Arab speaking muslims so it is very much a religious war. Nearly all Palestinian Christians by the way are living in the West or Israel proper because you know muslims often have problems with non muslims.
Highly recommend Walid Khalidi’s “All that Remains” (1992), which precedes and presages the New Historians’ account of the Nakba. Walid is Rashid’s uncle and the latter has a biography of the former.
Great interview! Suggestions for future interviews: Abby Martin, Marc Lamont Hill, Prof. Avi Shlaim, Mohammad El Kurd, Dr Mads Gilbert, Mariam Barghouti
That's a very boring suggestion ! They all have the same narrative ! Why not bring Mosab Hassan Youssef, son of one of Hamas' founders and listen to what HE has to say ?
Dr. Khalid I is phenomenal, but I am surprised he does not mention the Hannibal directive and the fact that it was the IOF that killed a lot of their own civilians on October 7, using over 20 Apaches reloaded at least once.
I think because he's so well versed in this topic 1. He either forgot in the moment 2. He knows how bad the zionists are that he's probably got a list of hundreds of other things I don't think he intentionally forgot is what I'm saying
Because it changes nothing in the discourse. There would be no Apaches on that that in that place of not for the attack. It's more important what Israel was doing before then on the day.
@blanchetv, When you repeat a lie many times, it still doesn't make it the truth. Your words are a recitation of a message board for people who are easily swayed by lies.

P.S. In a number of recent episodes I’ve mentioned Maui Nui Venison, which is a company operating out of Hawaii that manages the invasive deer population of Maui that is decimating the landscape. Instead of culling the animals and disposing of their bodies, the meat is butchered and sold. It is the only meat I eat, full-stop, and the ethical reasons are sufficient for this, but it is also the best meat that I have ever eaten. I reached out to Maui Nui and told them that I support what they are doing and would like to be of any help that I can. They gave me this coupon code-ROBINSON-which you can use for 20% off.

I've realised in my readings the colonial nature of Israel and how it almost operates as a proxy extension of the American imperial empire and Rashid doesn't even go near that area of the conflict. This is a conversation that is very much moderate in its politics, appealing to consider just the humanity of the Palestinians and nothing else. Kudos! And thanks for letting Mr. Khalidi speak uninterrupted. I'm sharing this video to everyone I know who is curious and at loss about where to start when it comes to learning or researching this issue. And I also just placed an order for his new book!
His book his very impressive too. A must read.

Cancel legacy media cancel tv licence ...i m 56 and didnt understand take notice until the 7th .i turned to independent media thats what showed me what the bbc etc were upto
Agreed. I’m a 61 year old Canadian and the same thing happened to me. Main stream media cannot be trusted. They are basically agents of the state with no journalistic integrity.
I'm 35 and am in the same boat. The propaganda was strong. I'm glad my rose coloured glasses have been shattered, and I now know the truth, as ugly as it is. As painful as it is. By the 9th of October, after absorbing the nonsense on msm, my first thought wasn't, oh wow - they are evil. Rather, why would a group of people do that? Once you understand the why, you can't take msm seriously, and the progaganda fails.
fantastic, we must tell all who will listen before its too late
Me too I’m 64 and dismayed 😩 that it’s taken me till now 🥹 to really learn & understand about the misinformation we are all fed on mainstream news 😡. I have now found so many wonderful independent investigative journalists online & learnt so much, I now have such a hunger to ensure I know the truth and to apply critical thinking to all information I consume.
I stopped watching mainstream media a decade ago. Full of manipulated news. I don't see the value of listening to robot newscasters
Rashid is a treasure of information. He has a beautiful way of communicating this history so simply. Thanks for having him on.
This is am excellent interview and a brilliant guest. Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for having Rashid on. His book is essential reading for anyone trying to understand the conflict.
Of course!
Imagine, thinking this conflict is hard to understand, Muslims are colonizers from Arabia, and have been murdering any one day Ken for over 1000 years, that’s all you need to know
@@robinsonerhardt I really wonder how you can fall for bullshitters like Finkelstein. Finkelstein thinks Russia had the right to invade Ukraine; the terror attack on Charlie Hebdo was justified; Holocaust denier Irving is a „great historian“; Palestinians in Gaza are equal to Jews in Germany during WW2; etc.
@@robinsonerhardtthank you, from the bottom of my heart! Love from Switzerland 🥰♥️🍉
Actually since Oct 7th I have seen Prof Khalidi become despondent. I know he retired and is probably taking time out - but you can tell. He hasn't done that many interviews in the last year, so well done for getting him on.

As Egyptian I feel ashamed of my government.
I am sorry Palestine!
You don't have to be sorry for something you didn't choose, elect or even shape any of its policy....Egyptian are under occupation as Palestinian hopefully one day Egyptian people will rise again
I know and Egypt is holding massive armoments in the Sinai Peninsula in exchange of billions of dollars US is giving Egypt every year. Don't get me wrong. I love Egyt but I think it has sold its soul to the Yahuds and kufr.
Governments are far worse than people. Israel just happens to be a country where everyone is in the government, except for the curated 20% "Arabs" and the non-Zionist Haredi Jews.
Thanks brother we know you have no power.
@@samsal073 ...who is occupying Egypt, I'm curious.
It is always an honor to hear Rashid Khalidi speak. I’m always getting an education on history concerning the Middle East , his historical perspectives are always phenomenal!
:)
Rashid’s comments on victimhood were spot on. Thank you for this thoughtful conversation
Great effort of Rashid Khalidi to put a human face to this really dire and obscure times. His last remarks on victimhood are really profound. In spite of all the pain, there are many Israelis and Palestinians who are able to talk to each other and to understand each other. Peace is not a dirty word. Those who are the strongest are choosing that path, they are the guiding light. Talking to the one who is different and trying to find a common ground is the bravest thing that can be done right now. Thanks for a great interview. Let’s continue protesting and challenging the mainstream narrative. Thanks for this interview.
Wow, very good conversation! Thank you for letting me discover Professor Rashid Khalidi, he is so knowledgable and eloquent.
This was a fantastic interview, thanks for doing it. You have a gracious way of asking intelligent questions and I'm glad you pose challenging problems that you've heard from the other side of an issue.
Thank you so much!
Great interview!! Isn't it insane that we live in a world where logical thought is so inverted that Mr Khalidi describing something so obvious is an 'opposing' view to the current situation in West Asia!
Dr. Khalidi was almost cracking down when you asked him what he sees for the future of Palestine, it almost made ME cry. Thank you, great interview!
Thank you!
They ended their future October 7. That marked the day all chances of statehood ended. Welcome to reality. We gave them many opportunities to be a state. They chose war over peace. They made their bed. Now they must sleep in it. They hitched their horses to Jihad. This was a poor decision.
@@TheOldTurds-c7chasbara
@@TheOldTurds-c7c Yes, for Israel! 🇵🇸 Palestine will be one state from the river to the sea with democracy, UNIVERSAL human rights for EVERYONE, as BEFORE for many thousands of years. He's were always welcome. Europe has always been anti Jew, never west Asia.
Same feeling here. But we can’t give in to hopelessness.
Dr. Khalidi respectfully forgets that israel doesn't care about public opinion, it cares about public (in)action. The lack of action by world leaders only encourages Israel to be bolder in their ambitions.
You do bad things ( 7th october 2023 )and reclaim for world leaders to applause you ???
I hear what you were saying and personally speaking it causes me a lot of anguish as I watch my own government do virtually nothing in the face of a genocide. That said, it is undeniable that the younger demographic overwhelmingly condemn Israel's military conduct and I believe this will eventually be reflected in future western governments as the old guard gives way to the new. I feel there is reason for hope but there will be many dark days and probably years still ahead.
So very true, unfortunately
@@bendybruce my fear is that when the younger demographic reaches a position of power and influence, it will already be too late. We need action NOW, not in 20 years
I would disagree on their lack of action, the action of Western world leaders is to give aid military and financial to Israel while maybe sometimes talking about a ceasefire. Which is a deliberate contradiction, if they wanted a ceasefire they should stop the military aid (especially the US). They are as invested and complicit in the genocide and occupation as Israel is
fantastic interview! it's really heart-warming to see such intelligent discourse in such a productive atmosphere, thank you!
A sharp, articulate individual who, regarding this issue, doesn't suffer fools gladly.
Extremely informative interview.
Great episode! Thanks for having Prof. Khalidi, Robinson! All the best
Of course!
It was a pleasure to listen to Professor Rashid Khalid on the unfortunate history of the Palestinian people. No one else can explain the past 100 years in Palestine in such detail as Khalid because his origin is from Jerusalem, Palestine.
Thank you Robinson! ❤️🇵🇸🕊
I was fortunate to attend a talk by Professor Khalidi in UCC recently about the history and current genocide (I refuse to call it a conflict or war). For someone so intensely personally connected to it all, he presents the facts in such an objective and measured manner. He is a much better man than I

Great interview, this gentleman is a refreshing voice in this ecosystem as someone who was born away from Palestine *because* of the Nakba
He has a unique background among my guests!
The Nakba was the consequence of Arabs 5 army invasion to Israel in aim to eliminate it in 1948. The Arabs started the war and got Nakba. In Oct 7 the Hamas invaded to israel and the Palestinian got the second Nakba.
@@yelenas7923Was literally debunked in this very video if you cared to watch it in its entirety. Your narrative is outdated and people know the true events of the Nakba.

The kind of podcasts we should listen to, not the mainstream media. They're wasting your time with their manipulated news and unending crap ads.
I supported Israel to certain extent. But now have realised what a fool I was . They are state built on innocent Palestinians blood .
Hope your colleges and country could understand
I have also broadened my knowledge; the method of the establishment of the state of Israel is shameful. Israel doesn’t want to talk about it very much.
Bullshit you don't know anything about Israel or palestine if you did you'd know the exact opposite is true. That under the dome of the rock is the Jewish temple. You people are soo sick for lying about history. Israel has been Jewish for thousands of years before the first Muslim was ever born. Tell me who the first leader of palestine was ?
@@YogaladyToronto Not true at all
Israelis talk about it a lot.
@@saltbae784 I understand.
That's why I know why Israel is fighting, and needs to win.
"There's no need to destroy dark thoughts. Just create light and wait for them to walk out. It may take time, but there is no other choice."
Inlike how it rymes but I did not u derstand. I know it sounds poetic. Can you expound? Thank you so much.
Thank you Rashid Khalidi.
**surrogate "you're welcome"**
God I love Khalidi so much.
I read his book "100 years war on Palestine" -highy recommended- yet I still learn more everytime I listen to him.
Egypt was ruled for a very short period by Mohammad Mursi from the Muslim Brotherhood, after the Arab Spring and the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak. Under his rule the Gazans had it pretty good - they could freely go back and forth over the border. But he was overthrown in a military coup backed by the United States and replaced by the military dictatorship of General al-Sisi, who has been horrible for Gaza. Hamas is basically the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
I find it interesting that Khalidi does not see gaza as a concentration camp saying ‘well because people are put into concentration camps to be put to death’ and that’s not always true. The US and Canada had concentration camps they called internment camps where they put Japanese, Germans and Italians during WWII. A concentration camp is simply a place where people are concentrated. Prisons are places where criminals are concentrated for example. The history of concentration camps should not exclude the many reservations created to concentrate native Americans.
Exactly this... spot on
@o2kala649 while your definition of the term 'concentration camp' is true I think Dr Khalidi is simply showing some (reasonable, and perhaps even needed) sensitivity in refusing to use the term 'concentration camp' in this instance, given as he expressed the association with the Nazi 'death camps'. While I didn't hear him use the term in the broadcast portion of this interview, I've hear the term of 'world's largest open air prison' used which conveys a sense of the reality, as does another term he did use "Bantustan", and feel that sensitivity to language isn't just 'interesting' but 'necessary' in constructive dialogue.
I really get angry when we discuss whether genocide is being committed or not. A certain state is bombing a place where half of the population is children, and per day on average more than 10 children are losing a limb, and over 42.000 people die due to the heavy bombardment of that certain state. And meanwhile we, from our safe homes, are trying to figure out what to call this!!! As asked by Jerusalem-born Miko Peled, ''Are we out of our minds? ARE WE OUTSIDE OF OUR MINDS ???
I appreciate what you say but Dr Khalidi was very careful and correct to point out that genocide is a legal term. The significance will be whether CJ rules on it. The ramifications of that (eg arrest warrants, ban on member states assisting etc.) are what's important but sadly only in the long run.
In the meantime we as citizens can decide we condemn the action of Israel as we should condemn Hamas for war crimes as Dr Khalidi pointed out.
There is no genocide.
The war in gaza or WW 2 have nothing to do with genocide if we talk about intent. Everybody does their own job and that is dangerous
42,000 after 10/7.
Before 10/7 the Palestinian population doubled in the past 10 years.
No genocide.
There isn't genocide. It's rather annoying people think it is. The truth is that the ICJ will eventually tell the world there is no genocide, but unfortunately I already know what the world's response will be.
Of those 42,000 dead people are at a minimum 20,000 Hamas. Hamas spent 35 years turning the Stirp into a terror based with their #1 objective to ensure maximum civilian death. Not 1 bomb shelter built, embed military installations behind, within and underneath civilians such as schools, playgrounds, children's bedrooms, mosques hospitals, etc, and lastly refuse to allow even one child to seek refuse in their over 700 miles of terror tunnels.
#1. That Civilian Death Ratio is far lower than numerous instances of modern warfare, including Iraq, where the ration was 77%.
#2. Israel takes enormous effort to minimize civilian death, more so than any military has done in history vie pamphletting, leafletting, phone calls, emails, text messages, loudspeaker, and roof knocking.
#3. The ratio would be even lower If Hamas did not use the civilian population as camouflage. ie if they put on their uniforms and did not hold civilians as human shields.
Sinwar himself came out and said, just recently, the more civilians' deaths the better for Hamas. They have also made it clear that they worship death more so than Jews worship life. Ther are, in the literal sense, a death cult.
It's as if you walk through life with blinders on.
Thank you so much for this. I found it very educational and I wish the UK and US govts and media would listen to your guest.
Thanks!
T!! Thank you!!
They should stop the genocide.
There is no genocide. Eventually the ICJ will tell this to the world.

🌝
I don’t think those 2 like each other much
@@lucapresents4790 really? Interesting. Do you know why?
@@casey7411 having seen hours upon hours of both speaking, it is my understanding that professor Khalidi thinks that the 2 state solution and those pushing it are crazy because of everything that’s happened(even prior to 7/10) and Finkelstein still stands by it as it’s the consensus as to how to resolve the conflict
@@casey7411 also I recommend you watch an Upfront episode with Finkelstein being interviewed by Mehdi Hasan, that’s where I first noticed that some Palestinians(including diaspora ones) kinda growl at Finkelstein
If an old wise man tells you that something really hard can be done, you can fully trust his judgment. If, however, he tells you that it can't be done, assume that he might be wrong.
9:37 May 21, 2011 was the beginning of judgement day on the world - that message was proclaimed loudly and clearly throughout the entire world - you were WARNED
Mr Khalidi said he does not see the bible connection of ancient Israel carried 2000 years later (nor should he).
Mark 11;13,14
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it.
That was the end of the ancient nation of Israel. God made them a proverb and a byword, he divorced ancient Israel as his chosen people.
Matthew 24;32
Now learn the parable of the fig tree; When his branches are yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, know ye that summer is nigh.
Mark 13;28
Now learn the parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near.
This is when the proverb and byword become a sign to the churches of summer. The "fig tree" was once again a nation (1948, modern nation of Israel; nothing but a sign)
It was time to look for summer... 1974 the biblical calendar was unsealed and published.
May 21, 1988 The Holy Spirit left the churches for their destruction.
September 7, 1994 The latter rain began outside any organized religion (they held corrupt gospels). The great multitude were being saved from peoples, nations and tongues scattered all over the world. SUMMER The true and faithful gospel was preached by the elect who had come out of the churches. ( and NO, they are not in the modern nation of Israel )
May 21, 2011 on the 17th day of the 2cnd month exactly 7000 years to the selfsame day (17th day of 2cnd month in 4990BC) after God shut the door to the ark, He shut the door to heaven. All of his elect had become saved. Alleluia.
It was necessary for the precise dates to be known so that the trumpet could be sounded loudly and clearly for the last of the elect to hear. God made it happen exactly as the times and seasons written were fulfilled.
GO look up: Ebible2 timelines or Ebiblefellowship for many archived bible studies or questions
spoiler alert: 'last day' = 2033

Thank you for bringing Rashid. His popular book is the first that opened my eyes to what's happening to the Palestinians. God bless him.
It's ridiculous that Rashid Khalidi needs to explain to our racist society the basic human rights of people to life and freedom. He does it so eloquently though, so thank you for bringing this interview together!
Nothing more racist than Arab society. The slang term for blacks is slave.
During the Jordanian occupation of East Jerusalem, they expunged people they did not like.
people's rights to life and freedom depend on them accepting the right of others to life and freedom
as the so called "balestinians" can't accepts jews' , israelis' and basically anyone else's right to life and freedom, they shouldn't cry when israel retaliates agains their barbaric, inhumane actions
He's a colonist (a non-Native American living on Native American soil) telling the world that Jews (including Mizrahi Jews who are indigenous to the Middle East) are uniquely disgusting for creating a very tiny Jewish-majority liberal democracy with 2.1 million Arab citizens who are wealthier and freer than most Arabs in the Middle East.
Human rights ? What on earth does that fancifull ideal have to do with the reality of human evolution? We evolve toward a destiny. Israel is a modern and fast developing society. Same as america” yes many mistakes have been made a long the hard road .a civil war? Two world wars? Still it has become the most prolific an powerfull nation on earth and i add ,all in 270 years. Soon “that nation will take us out into our galaxy to explore gods realm ,while islam festers in myth and legend. Putin will die and the good russian people will benifit from their massive recourses .since 1917 ? Stolen by a few who plundered it all in war and grand lifstyle. Human right is not something you get by right ‘ same as respect? You earn it. At this time israel is doing the worlds dirty work in removing evil . A job that UN and icc should have done after the 7 th day attack. History has shown that intelligence always wins, neanderthall man gave us that message. In this evolutionary process many among us lagg behind in there dreamy world of ideals. War is war” many die but we dont expect to recieve a bullet to the back of the head while standing defenceless. God bless america and all its allies. Life goes on! Shakespeare countryU K
If this isn’t genocide? Then what is? Yes, there are standards for this, and we all saw it this time!
It would be interesting to know what Balfour would think of how things have unfolded in the last 107 years
He was an anti-Semite, so...
Thanks a ton for this interview. I've watched hundreds of hours of political commentary here on RUclips to get a better understanding of the g-cide that's going on, and this interview offers the most lucid explanation of the events leading up to where the middle East finds itself now.

The suffering of the people of Gaza is unspeakable; it's horrendous. We have exhausted the vocabulary of the English language in order to describe what has befallen Gaza
🇵🇸♥️😪🇵🇸♥️😪
@chfHerze. Yes, agree that it's horrendous that Hamas will not allow the Jordanians and Egyptians occupying Gaza to flee to safety when Israel is returning fire due to the constant rockets fired and because of the horrendous acts by Hamas (supported by the Gaza civilians) on Oct 7. Also horrendous, the Yazidi girl held captive by the noble muslims in Gaza. The nightmare that has befallen Gaza is Hamas who were voted in by the people of Gaza.
@@marial8415 More than 200 Palestinians were killed before October 7, in the same year. I guess they don't count

Of course it is. you believe Israel has no right to exist. Yet, you condemn Israel for defending itself and for not negotiating with people who feel the same way you do! I can't imagine why Israel would not negotiate with people who believe they have no right to exist, and who 's codified raison d'etre - written in their own Charter - is the annihilation of Israel, and who will breach any peace agreement the first chance they get.
Are you aware that the Hamas Charter makes it a crime to even consider peaceful negotiations with Israel? Yes, they say all such people will burn in hell. Hamas is clear, they will never negotiate peace with Israel, and that they exist to make Israel cease to exist. Hezbollah's 1985 Open Letter is the same. They are mere puppets to Iran who's #1 objective is the annihilation of Israel, not statehood for Palestinians. If you think Iran care a shit about Sunni Palestinians, you're not following the bouncing ball in the Middle East. Iran is responsible for the death and starvation of MILLIONS of Sunnis throughout the ME, but especially in Yemen and Syria. Yet you think Iran has risked it's national wellbeing and safety to rescue Sunni Muslims who live in Palestine? LOL. Hey, I'm selling bridges this weekend too.
Outstanding once again!
Having not yet been barred from referring to a calendar, one recalls that a strong opponent of the 1948 Israel Experiment was murdered shortly before he could give his (logical) argument against it at the U.N. (having helped oust the U.K. Colonial Project in India - he was against a new U.K.-sponsored Colonial Project).
And later in 1948 after Gandhi was (false-flag) murdered, the First PM of Pakistan dies of an "illness" (coincidentally on Sept. 11).
This is amazing!
You should have Ali Abunimah or Max Blumenthal on the podcast talking about October 7.
this was Game of Israel.. Hamas is funded by Israel
One of the best interviews on Israel I've seen!
Insanely good. Thank you.
Thank you!!
Appreciate the fact that you're bringing Palestinian voices on.. it is so hard to find alternative media having our voices on. May I suggest adding other names to your list like Dr. Sami Al Aryan, Dr. Tamim Al Barghouthi, Iyad El Baghdadi, Mariam Barghouthi and Mohammed El Kurd.. mind you many of those won't be able to travel to the US, but it is worth a shot
And to counter some of Dr. Khalidi's talking points..
1. I agree, this war is an American led war for dominance in the region with the absence of a true leader
2. The Nakba started since the first establishment of a "settlement" in the region, you may check some of the documentaries about Deir Yasin and how terrorists organizations like the Haganah, Stern & Irgun (which became the fetus for the Israeli forces later on) have committed crime after crime to ethnically cleanse many cities, doing so as well into Arab-Jewish neighborhoods in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt to convince them to leave their homes and fill up the empty voids after the Nakba
3. I disagree with Dr. Khalidi's perspective on Zionism. As a movement it wanted nothing but to ethnically cleanse us Palestinians from our lands to fill it with European Jews to export the "Jewish problem" of Europe to the east of the Mediterranean, reviving the crusades and controlling the region via this state, all while leaving Jews of the world this time to suffer the consequences of all that will unfold while detatching themselves from all the evil it has done and will do in the future.
4. Agree, it will take a generation to rebuild Gaza, to rebuild the city and the people who have gone unimaginable pain and suffering, so it will be really difficult to convince them to not retaliate with the Israelis as Dr. Khalidi has said.. imagine losing a limb, seeing the roof of your home fall on your entire family leaving you alone in this world then try and speak logic to a population of the world already known to be extremely emotional.
5. Israel is committing a genocide. If you bomb hospitals, schools used as shelter, bakeries and any infrastructure in town using the disgusting alibi of "human shields", then of course it is a genocide 100%.
6. The war crimes committed are going to last a generation to retaliate, if you think you're safe in whatever bubble you are in now, be rest assured something will happen next door to where you live. I'm not saying this as a threat, I'm saying this so people understand the severity of what has happened to us Palestinians, and how we'll go far and beyond as a people to avenge the death of our loved ones. And I hope & pray no more innocent civilians get caught in the middle.
7. Fuck El-Sisi and the entire Egyptian military complex, if there's hell, and most of us Palestinians believe so, these will definitely be the first to stay in it forever.
8. The war already began a while ago, it has more fireworks and bangs this time around
9. Israel won't conquer Gaza.. it has ruined 90% of its own economy just to settle in Gaza? How will it bring more settlers into a war zone? After doing every atrocity anyone can think of? After causing so much harm that every man, stone & tree has a score to settle with them? Give me a break!
10. It will take time.. we've seen this for many years. Baghdad fell for the Mongols in 1258 killing every soul in sight (over a million residents at the time). Jerusalem had over 400k residents when the crusaders killed every Muslim, Jew & Christian when they first came. We will rebuild it, but surely it will take time
Awareness is certainly created in this interview of the movement of people from refugee camps to Gaza and all the current destruction of people's lives and property.
Dear Sir, the wealth of knowledge that your guests bring is fabulous, as is your interviewing technique.
Infinite thanks for that, and please continue, we need people like you.
That is so kind! Thanks!
@@tjoeptjoeptjoep so true! whenever i feel like im powerless over the palestine heartbreak i watch on my youtube people like robinson who give me a way to do something, even small, by watching sharing talking to people it will make a difference soon 🇺🇸will not be able to support Israel because we are all waking up and becoming aware. it makes me upset and feel so stupid that ive been lied to all my life about israel it truly is sickening pure evil how could they?? i will wait until the world can celebrate together along with the people of Palestine it must happen this is Humanity's fight now I pray God please ✨🇵🇸✨🇺🇸✨
Excellent interview! Merci Thank You Gracias
Amazing conversation
Thanks
Thank you!
awesome man, thanks for doing this. the things i’ve heard about Rashid have led me to believe he might be the type that blindly defends the Palestinians and won’t acknowledge any faults or mistakes on their part. this conversation clearly shows that he is very fair and respectful to both peoples, which is what we need so badly. i’m much more on the side of the Palestinian cause and their fight for equal rights and equal humanity, and i think the best advocates are the ones who can be honest about the failures of both peoples and who are clear-eyed about the conflict as a whole.
My pleasure!
Thank you for being on youtube❤ i have been following your channel for a while, the best content all the time❤❤❤❤
Thank you. I am so tired of people in the people around me ignoring reality by throwing up their hands and using the "religious war"/both sides talking point.
I have been telling folks who are curious to look at Balfour, and go from there forward.
@pickyourswithcoriginal. Perhaps you are ignoring reality. The muslim holy book instructs believers to strike at the Jews many times. Palestinians are predominately Arab speaking muslims so it is very much a religious war. Nearly all Palestinian Christians by the way are living in the West or Israel proper because you know muslims often have problems with non muslims.
Thank you for sharing this thoughtful interview.
Interview Ilan pappe
Certainly on my list!
@@robinsonerhardt I love Ilyan Pappe
I highly recommend nakba documentary produced by Al Jazeera in four parts .. it's super important.. available in Arabic, English & Spanish
Highly recommend Walid Khalidi’s “All that Remains” (1992), which precedes and presages the New Historians’ account of the Nakba. Walid is Rashid’s uncle and the latter has a biography of the former.
Thanks! I’m putting that book on my reading list!
Thank you gentlemen. Very informative.
Love this podcast
Me too.
Brilliant interview. Once again, a must watch fir those that still dont understand.
This channel has been killing it lately!
It's refreshing to hear the truth uncensored!
Rashid Khalid you’re such an important voice armed with your understanding of history thank you for speaking so sensibly pls keep talking 🫶🏼💗
Great interview!
Suggestions for future interviews: Abby Martin, Marc Lamont Hill, Prof. Avi Shlaim, Mohammad El Kurd, Dr Mads Gilbert, Mariam Barghouti
That's a very boring suggestion ! They all have the same narrative ! Why not bring Mosab Hassan Youssef, son of one of Hamas' founders and listen to what HE has to say ?
Dr. Khalid I is phenomenal, but I am surprised he does not mention the Hannibal directive and the fact that it was the IOF that killed a lot of their own civilians on October 7, using over 20 Apaches reloaded at least once.
I think because he's so well versed in this topic
1. He either forgot in the moment
2. He knows how bad the zionists are that he's probably got a list of hundreds of other things
I don't think he intentionally forgot is what I'm saying
Because it changes nothing in the discourse. There would be no Apaches on that that in that place of not for the attack. It's more important what Israel was doing before then on the day.
He has to stay on the line to be able to continue with his work.
@blanchetv, When you repeat a lie many times, it still doesn't make it the truth. Your words are a recitation of a message board for people who are easily swayed by lies.
Repeating a lie many times doesn't make it true. Your words are a recitation of a false bulletin board for people who are easily convinced.
Excellent listen. Thank you.
No problem!
Wow - very good
