We owe an ironic debt of gratitude to Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan for advancing the cause of the State of Palestine at the United Nations. By delivering a speech to the UN General Assembly that was so unhinged, absurd, vulgar, insulting, undignified, and undiplomatic, Erdan helped to secure a lopsided vote of 143 to 9 in favor of Palestine’s UN membership (the rest abstained or did not vote). But more than that, Erdan helped to clarify Israel’s tactical approach-and why it is doomed to fail.
Let us briefly consider the content of Erdan’s speech. Erdan claimed, in short, that Palestine equals Hamas and Hamas equals Hitler’s Nazi Reich. Erdan told the UN delegates that their nations support a state of Palestine because “so many of you are Jew-hating.” He then shredded the UN Charter at the podium, claiming that the delegates were doing the same by voting for Palestine’s UN membership. All the while, on the very same day as his speech and UN vote, Israel was amassing its forces for yet more slaughter of innocent civilians in Rafah.

"The Zionists as a movement, and then the State of Israel, which emerged from that movement, declared war on the Palestinian people. In that war we saw ethnic cleansing, genocidal policies and a racist apartheid regime" ~ Miko Peled.
"There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity.... yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel."
- Zuheir Muhsin, late Military Department head of the PLO and member of its Executive Council (Dutch daily Trouw, March 1977)
"There is no such country [as Palestine]! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria." - Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, a local Arab leader, to the Peel Commission, 1937
"Palestine was part of the Province of Syria... politically, the Arabs of Palestine were not independent in the sense of forming a separate political entity."
- The representative of the Arab Higher Committee to the United Nations, 1947
Oh, and also, Arab Nations attacked Israel first. You started it. Don't start a fight you can't win.

Nonsense. You don't know any history.

Jeffrey Sachs is a treasure
As long as USA jewish billionaires keep the leash on Congress nothing will change
and their appointment of lackeys in key government agencies like Blinken, Mayorkas, Garland, Yellen, Haines, and others.
Almighty GOD will take care of it, rest assured.

Israel was indeed shredding the UN Charter.
The same UN that created Israel as their first major act. The titanic irony cannot be lost on anyone.
Such a disgraceful action, childish as it was such disqualify israel for 12-24 months
UN resolution 181 which gave a fig leaf of legality to the Ashkenazi colony was approved under very dubious conditions to say the least.

I completely agree. I don't consider it a legitimate decision either, but sadly, here we are...
Israel shreds any thing like history of others rights to living of others laws of humanity on earth all books of other religions osrael is shredder
So solutions with one state is that jews go back were they came from let palestain for palestinans. Salved.New York man from America goes to israel stealing Palestinian home is law of witch religion?
Doubt if they can get those settlers out of Palestine's West Bank.
Yes, there are 700,000, a surprising number from Brooklyn.
The Settlements are the main problem.
@@chamberpot969 I picked up 800k - hey likely more now as advantage taken of war- strategy ?
I hope they don’t come back here.
It can only happen with the utter dismantling of the Zionist project and ideology.
I'm afraid that Israel has too strong a hold on the US for that to every happen.
The West Bank is essentially a bunch of "mini Gaza" and history will surely be repeated if Israel is not made accountable for these atrocities.
❤❤The always diplomatic, honourable Mr Sachs
No two state solution. When apartheid ended in South Africa, it was not divided into two separate states, one for blacks and one for whites. Same with Palestine, it must be restored to its historic unified entity pre 1948. European settler colonial violence which began in the 1940s must never be rewarded
EXACTLY.
That distroys the very essense of jewish ßtat as psladtenians are faaar more fertile than the ashkinazi jews and will distroy the demography of israel
Yes. The so called state of Israel exists only de facto, not legally. Colonialism and its brutality is the nature of Israel. Also the USA has never honoured the treaties made with Native Americans and are guilty of attempted genocide of those Native Americans. Therefore why should the US care about just another genocide?
Totally agree
No it was not, Black people ie Bantu speaking peoples do not come from Southern Africa.
It's sad that your version of justice is giving us a Native American style Indian Reservation to rot away in while we get no access to the ancient trade routes, no access to the ocean, no justice for the land stolen and the family lost, and no solution to the Arab Israelis treated terrible. Your solution I guess is the end result of what happened to the Native Americans in America or the Aboriginals in Australia.

As Max Blumenthal has said Erdan has to be the worst Ambassador to the UN ever, from any country.
And there have been some horrible ones
He’s laughable
He talked to the distinguished UN members as if he was scolding disobedient children
@@scfaber369 Yes, the arrogance of the Israeli political class is truly breathtaking. However I don’t think he realizes that most people see him as a clown.
Gilad Erdan's truth hurts. just face it "professor"
"Cynthia Vigil was never charged with any crime because anyone could see that violent force was an entirely understandable and legitimate response to having been kidnapped and subjected to horrific treatment. It never at any time occurred to anyone to say that she should have acted differently, and it most certainly never occurred to anyone to make her single act of desperate violence the major story instead of the fact that there was a serial killer who’d been abducting women and torturing them in his murder dungeon.
And, I mean, imagine how absurd it would have been if they’d done that. Imagine if, after the Toy Box Killer story broke, all the major headlines were about a woman stabbing another woman with an ice pick. Imagine if the ice pick stabbing was all the press ever wanted to talk about, for month after month after month, instead of the fact that people had been imprisoned and subjected to savage abuse by a cruel serial murderer."

Yes, Jill Stein. Her platform is on the internet.
Erdan may be preaching to his own personal choir, but in the doing, he is failing to ‘read the room’. If he bothered to read it, he’d see nothing but dagger-eyes for him, Likud & zionism.

Thank you Prof Sachs. Please continue your endeavour for peaceful resolution of the Palestine crisis.
Your efforts will help bring changes surely and end the cruelty, a cruelty inconceivable till now.
Instill fear. Spread hopelessness. Take away safety. Free the land for other purposes. Period.
Western governments are literally doing this to their own citizens too. Working class Britain can be summed up by the word "hopelessness" in 2024. You have rent of a tiny room for 70% of your income or the looming prospect of homelessness, as the social contract no longer exists.
Really appreciate hearing the view of Jeffrey Sachs.
My belief is that in the coming few years Russia & China will assert their dominance, trade will open up and America's, and therefore Israel's dominance will wane massively. As people experience peace, prosperity and stability we will move away from competing militaries etc. The desire for war comes from a very small number of people and their small number of followers.
America has a lot of growing up to do as a nation and hopefully the young people are going to accelerate this. My country UK has some hard choices to make, too. We need uncoupling from the teat of Atlanticism and to start making new friendships based on the 3 Ps, peace, prosperity and progress. As a species mankind should by now be moving away from looking inward to fully looking outward and the cosmos around us. We're like ants fighting over a scrap of foliage, physically and in mindset!
Hear, hear.
You said it so eloquently.
Let's hope we Palestinians will not have become extinct by then.
Amazing Comment.
Thanks for leaving it.

How heartwarming and forever hopeful it is to hear professor Sach's pointed and measured response to the diatribe, by the Israeli ambassador to the UN, against the basic values humanity.
My immense gratitude forever to professor Sach's voice of conscience.
I know I love Erdan! He is the voice of the unhinged Israel 🤣
Speaking of, CensorTube won't let me give this video a “thumbs up....”

Where is the Isreali government in exile? Could it be USA?
And then the Rumbling happens WW3.
I appreciate Prof. Sachs' precise analytical clarity and complete lack of histrionics in his thoughtful remarks.
judge Palestinians by their track record and their links with terror organisations
British Army vs ISF
Contrast the way the British fought the IRA
And the way the IDF fight HAMA
and you will see the best army in the world. And the worst any in the world.
The difference is that both sides wanted an enduring peace.

The self declared fathers of terrorism.
The Palestinians are well advised to leave or submit. Encouraging their continued resistance is cruelty especially towards their children. The Israel are cruel indeed and remorseless. They have the resources to prevail and they will use them and do anything to prevail. Make a path for the future of the children.
The land belongs to the Palestinians. It’s the Zionists who must leave. Peace loving Jews have lived in the Middle East for hundreds of years. They will always be welcome. The Zionists are all white Europeans.
And those who left? One at least is in the US military. No, forgetting the past won't do it.
You mean like the vietnames, afghans, iraqis, Russians in ww2, etc. etc.
Totally agree with Turkey.
