Are we witnessing the 'new normal' for the Middle East? | The Bottom Line
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- By expanding illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and refusing to consider Palestinian self-determination, “we’re watching a situation that will recur” in the Middle East, argues former US ambassador to Israel, Daniel Kurtzer.
Kurtzer tells host Steve Clemons that the war in Gaza “uncovered a weakness on the part of the United States in dealing with an extreme government in Israel”. The result is that US diplomacy has neither been able to end Israel’s carnage in Gaza, nor deal with the underlying problems between Palestine and Israel. So the conflict continues to escalate in the region, with no end in sight.

What about the idea of Palestinians having the right to defend themselves ?
Well said
Why don’t they defend themselves?
The US doesn't give the Palestinians $3b/y, so the Christian world has determined that they don't get a vote.
Not sure what you mean by right to defend there's never been country called that those people are arabs. Quite frankly Jews are on the right side hete
@@sayjustwordstome yes, from a terrorist state like israel
This is the most pathetic interview i have heard on Aljazeera. This man who is an apologist for american criminal policies just implied that palestinians are the reason for their continued oppression for not accepting unreasonable settlement for a state.
Its true , Iranian backed Muslim Brotherhood is running out of power , as Arab Nations do not want Muslim Brotherhood operating in their country. Right or wrong ,Middle East have got use to no Ottoman Empire.
Iran has not . This is an anti West /Jew war , started by Iranian backed Islamic State fundamentists.
EXACTLY HES DILUSIONAL OR THINKS WE ARE 🥵
you have to realize that the only way to be a US ambassador to israel is to be a zionist
I'm sorry but this man was a complete waste of time.

I disagree with many, many things this professor just laid out. Most egregiously, he disparaged the students protesting as "Ignorant" when in fact they are well-informed and have correctly identified the issues as stemming from 1948. The Zionist project was always a violent, apartheid movement. 1967 solved nothing, and the Palestinians have actually accepted ceasefire terms which gave them only 20% of their original territory. It is the Israelis who have refused to come to terms. And he conveniently omits the fact that 80% of the Israeli public is happy with their government's actions, and the rest would like to go even further. They do not see Palestinians as human, and neither does the Biden/Harris team. Most maddeningly, he does not acknowledge the fact that the PA is bought and sold with American/Israeli money and is entirely corrupt.
Well said
A ceasefire for land? Which agreement did they accept? Can you provide sources?
I saw alot of Demonstrations in israel about the government even before oct 7th.
Why do you think zionism is violent since the beginning?
AGREED.
Very very well said.
Interviewee repeats western terms that try to delegitimize resistance and law ful defense of countries like syria and Lebanon..
@@annenunney9907you obviously missed the multiple news articles that questioned the students. Like; what does from the river to the sea mean? Which river. Which sea? They had no idea. How about. How many missles has Palistine sent into Israeli neighborhoods? When did the Israeli leave the Westbank? Do you know?
Daniel Kurtzer seems to be fairly honest for a US official. However he's fairly honest for a US official but still comes way short of being fair. Even Israeli officials admit that they were offering the Palestinians "less than a state". Meaning that Israel wanted a Palestine that didn't have an army or defense capabilities to protect themselves and also wanted to be able to go in and violate the territorial integrity Palestinie for "security" reasons. Remember the US (which is basically Israel's advisor) was negotiating this with Israel. The Palestinians were always going to be strong armed into accepting less than they would get for letting the courts decide this situation. That's why the US always wants the situation solved by "negotiation" because they can bully the Palestinians into accepting a situation where Israel wins 95% of they want and the Palestinians only get 5% and the Palestinians would have to be content with it.

Brother wtf?? How do you see a problem with Israel forcibly taking land in 1967 but see nothing wrong with Israel forcibly taking land in 1948.
The war in 1948 was started by the Arabs. If you losse a war you will loose land and if you started the war then it's your own fault.
In 1967 Israel attacked not the Arabs.
@@hikey7955They were fighting for their land that was being taken away from them by the US and the UK
@@hikey7955 hasbra land thief located
@@annenunney9907 it never was their land. It was British land and it was given to Israel by the UN.
If they want to fight for it sure, but then they shouldn't complain about loosing land. It was Israeli territory legaly speaking and if they don't recognize the UN ruling that it is Israeli land it is their problem.
What right did they have to give away the land WITH or WITHOUT the agreenment of the natives who lived there ? It was forcefully given under the power. British should either grant independent or not. Israel and Palestinian both are enemies to begin with, to fight for the holy place. The conflicts has created since then and unfair treatments and occupation for 75 years. It’s close to a century.

This is the silliest interview on Aljazeera. I didn't think i would say this in the context of this genocide; shame on Aljazeera for this interview. No push backs from the journalist on this american criminal apologist lies! And asking questions like a diplomat.
I think Steve was trying to be respectful (which he is anyway). But, I agree...I think some push back was warranted as well. No mention of the Hannibal Directive. I think that's really important that no public figure in the US is openly discussing. After all, it was probably US-made weapons that the Israelis used to kill their own.
Oh , so someone who want peace and productive lives for both Palestinians and Isreal is one sided ? .
Do you honestly think 2,000,000 Arabs want to live under Hamas?

Take Netanyahu and the extremists out of the equation would be a good start towards achieving a semblance of "normal" in the Middle East. This would pave the way for meaningful negotiations towards Palestine's independence, autonomy and the right to live normal lives.

O believers! Do not enter the homes of the Prophet without permission ˹and if invited˺ for a meal, do not ˹come too early and˺ linger until the meal is ready. But if you are invited, then enter ˹on time˺. Once you have eaten, then go on your way, and do not stay for casual talk. Such behaviour is truly annoying to the Prophet, yet he is too shy to ask you to leave. But Allah is never shy of the truth. And when you ˹believers˺ ask his wives for something, ask them from behind a barrier. This is purer for your hearts and theirs. And it is not right for you to annoy the Messenger of Allah, nor ever marry his wives after him. This would certainly be a major offence in the sight of Allah.

Israel has lost the deterrence game. Again they haven't come to terms with the new normal.
Arab kings can stope this massacred if they wish
Mr. Kurtzer, an academic at an ivy league university and former State Department agent IN Israel, he will say NOTHING that indicts American foreign policy... policy initiated within a literal heartbeat of Israel declaring it's independence in '48. He very likely has many friends and possibly many family members living in Israel, he will say nothing critical of Israeli 'SOCIETY' (which is VERY far to the right of his attribution of it being 'center-right'), but attribute everything condemnatory to a totem like the Israeli P.M. whom he can safely vilify, as he does with Trump. He's a shill for the State Department. He's giving a genocidal state a pass. Giving U.S. foreign policy a chef's kiss. A disgusting interview, not pure gaslighting, but certainly trivialization of ghastly ongoing war-crimes, and misdirecting any proper reading of history.
Mr Ambassador I've watched other interviews and Omert alleges the same. But Palestinians said Mr Olmerts map was sketched on paper towel with no specifics and was in effect a gotcha. Palestinians also allege that Olmert's "offer" came when he was being investigated in Israel. So no I don't believe Olmert had a genuine offer. The video interviews are on RUclips
He is ridiculous
Why can’t the most powerful nation in the world ensure the immediate need for humanitarian aid in Gaza Professor?
He's not a credible thinker. He's a propagandist and a shill. The only thing which he said which has credence is that the Palestinians in Gaza will rise up again (once hostilities cease) because their circumstances would remain utterly untenable.
Greeting from Germany.Danke Schön for Peace work, god bless you ,Free PALESTINE.

O Prophet! We have made lawful for you your wives to whom you have paid their ˹full˺ dowries as well as those ˹bondwomen˺ in your possession, whom Allah has granted you. And ˹you are allowed to marry˺ the daughters of your paternal uncles and aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and aunts, who have emigrated like you. Also ˹allowed for marriage is˺ a believing woman who offers herself to the Prophet ˹without dowry˺ if he is interested in marrying her-˹this is˺ exclusively for you, not for the rest of the believers. We know well what ˹rulings˺ We have ordained for the believers in relation to their wives and those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession. As such, there would be no blame on you. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Conflict does not end conflict. It perpetuates it. At the end no one will be safe no matter what measures are put in place. I feel sorry for innocent Israeli who are led astray by Benjamin. He clearly does not have a peace plan for the Israeli nation.
He is has a plan for Palestine he wants it all he is a disgrace
israel propagand
USA happy this happens so far away.
So in a nutshell, according to this apologist for Israel, the problems are not in
(1) 1948, where Palestinians were not consulted on the creation of Israel on their lands by the colonial powers who stood by while Israel evicted and killed Palestinians who resisted the seizure and thereafter illegally seizing their lands by force and forever thereafter occupying their lands. According to this sage to think otherwise, is plain ignorance. (who is the ignorant one here I ask? What else would you expect if the shoe were o the other foot or s that to o much to ask this sage?)
and
(2)the US must take a stronger vocal role in supporting the right of Palestinians for freedom and self determination. Well sorry bud, it's gonna take a helluva a lot more than a stronger vocal role to do that. What planet are you living on? Look at what happened. Look at the facts on the ground. Can one really believe a vocal role will solve anything?
The country of Qatar has two million people with the wealth of Azim and the country of Wasee, and four million Indian and Pakistani slaves. What is important to you is the Palestinian people, why don't you open the doors of Qatar for them? Shame on you. Wealth is important to you.
they want war they get it, change your behaviour and the situation will improve. Simple equation
