Many years ago I was discussing the Israeli Palestine conflict with my friends on Facebook. One of them who was a professional Israeli hand balancer who worked for Cirque Du Soleil Send me a private message saying that you could not negotiate with the Palestinians because they were animals. I had always liked this guy and apart from that single interaction there was absolutely nothing about him that said he was anything else but a decent good hearted human being. I never knew how to reply to him and it's something I've been thinking about a lot since this conflict in Gaza kicked off. It has finally come to me and I know what I wanted to say to him so I'll say it here. When you dehumanize your enemy you dehumanize yourself.
To anyone who has any issues with anything that the Palestinian Resistance Factions have done or are alleged to have done-on and since Saturday October 7th, 2023-ask yourself: How many of the purported “Israeli civilians” were actually military/police/security reservists, settlement security volunteers, or workers in Israeli military or dual-use industrial/communications/logistical/material support roles? According to Israel’s own doctrines, standard operating procedures, and rules of engagement, any such persons would have been fair game to target, even if unarmed at the time. *_Nothing_* that the Palestinian Resistance Factions have done or are accused of doing, violates _any_ rules, doctrines, SOPs, and RoEs that the Israeli regime claims to hold its own operatives, personnel, and constituents accountable to. Your problem isn’t with the Palestinian Resistance Factions. It’s with Israel’s official doctrines, standard operating procedures, and rules of engagement. Israel and its allies wrote the rules. Don’t blame the resistance factions for following the rules. You don’t like their actions or alleged actions? Change the rules, and hold everyone accountable fairly. The Dahiyeh Doctrine-amongst other such things-is just as applicable to the Gaza envelope and Tel Aviv, as it is to Beirut or Gaza. Accept that.
Solidarity with Dr. Ahmad for his important work & advocacy. I hope he will connect with others who have been doing this work because it does seem his experience would be aided by a deeper analysis of the forces arrayed against his message & the future we all want to see for Gaza, and for Palestinian freedom.
Thank you, Marc Steiner, for having Dr. Thaer Ahmud on with this much needed discussion spoken with great wisdom and care about our families and children in Palestine. How can we not hear their cries? No more wars. Peace for all our world . A higher consciousness will come. When and how? It begins with those who are aware and awake, knowing how evil divisions are brought by powers of greed. 🙏❤️🌎🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵
Thank you, Dr. Thaer Ahmad, for all that you do, and all that you've shared here, and thank you Marc Steiner for presenting this show. This is what we Americans need to hear. I don't know why we are still sending weapons and money to Israel, when that money would be far better spent sending humanitarian aid for Palestine. And no Marc Steiner, you're no traitor for presenting this, I am half Jew myself, and do not agree with what Israel is doing.
Well done in publishing and saying - Pride and victory belong to the axis of resistance and its allies, and humiliation and shame belong to the axis of evil and its allies - a thousand salutes to free South Africa and a thousand salutes to the proud president of Brazil.
It warms my heart to hear about the children seeing pictures of the protests. They don’t know there is so much sorrow is felt, around the world, for the hell they’re going through. On another note. As a paramedic, I can’t imagine being in that situation trying to save what lives can be saved, while risking my own. Those medics, doctors, and nurses transcend courage. I’m both impressed with them and horrified for them.
“A crisis. A horror. A tragedy. All words we’ve heard many times over to describe the situation in Gaza. All woefully insufficient. As a Palestinian, I can assure you if there’s one thing Palestinians aren’t short of, it’s words. You may even recall that in the first weeks of this war, children in Gaza held their own press conference imploring the world “to protect them” so they could “live as other children live”. *Source* : *Mohamad* *Alasmar* *ALJAZEERA* 23 Feb 2024
A GENOCIDE ON UNARM PALESTINIAN CHILDREN DON'T THERE LIVE'S MATTER 😢😢PLEASE STOP THE GENOCIDE FOR THE CHILDREN PALESTINIAN CHILDREN HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE 🇵🇸 PALESTINIAN CHILDREN HAVE THE RIGHT TO DREAM PALESTINIAN CHILDREN HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXIST 🇵🇸 ❤️
Your are wrong - there are thousands of politician who don't care a shit about children crying, children injured, children starving, children murdered - their bank accounts are more important
Taya, Steven and the real news network. There is major corruption happening in Nevada as we speak and I have been trying to get your attention to report on it but you showed no interest I have much proof yet am not a good journalist or reporter. You sadly are letting them get away with it while you could be reporting on it and showcasing it. We need you.
Why don't countries with influence help to improve the situation there. Just allowing aid to enter would be enough. But this time military aid and soldiers for Palestinians would be helpful.
This is so terrible tthese peoples young ones 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢men theyshould have protected gaza but with what 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢they going to throw stones 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢they what theey have or they just stsy where and get killed 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😂😂😂it very sad .
Thank you Mark for speaking with the courageous humanitarian hero, Dr Thaer Ahmad.

Thank you for this interview, people like you both restore my faith in humanity because there so much evil out there.

Genocide is straight outta Hitler's playbook 😱
