I really appreciate where this is coming from and lifting up the voices of Palestinians living under occupation and hopefully opening some viewers’ minds. However, I would push back on framing this as a “conflict.” We are talking about the West Bank, where even the US officially considers Israel to be illegally occupying, militarily, this land. It is an occupation. And the whole reason it takes so much effort to humanize Palestinians is because it is a totally asymmetrical and disproportionate situation where Israel has massive power and resources, including ability to represent its narrative on the world stage. I’ve been on tours and groups that are about intercultural dialogue. The cultures don’t have a problem getting along. Israel refuses to give Palestinians access to their own water, farmlands, to visit family members in other parts of Palestine, enforcing a regime of Jewish-only roads. It’s apartheid, and it’s an atrocity. Let’s not reinforce the notion that these are 2 groups having a religious disagreement. It’s a story over 500 years old of Europeans dominating Brown and Black people’s lands and dominating and monopolizing the resources for as long as they can get away with it. How long will we let Israel get away with it? Not to mention the suffering of Israelis, including those who serve in the military-anyone can find Breaking the Silence’s video series on KZfaq to hear the experiences of Israeli soldiers

Thanks for watching and writing. I don’t believe I did frame this as a “conflict.” In fact, I made a point of saying I didn’t want to frame Palestinians within the confines of “the conflict” as the world often does. A religious disagreement never came up, so not sure where you got the idea that we’re reinforcing the idea that it’s a religious dispute. The rest of the talk focuses on “the occupation,” though he refers to “the conflict” at the end. But I wasn’t going to stop a Palestinian person from speaking and tell him not to refer to it that way. Thanks again for watching and writing!

@@BaurJoe i just heard the phrase "the conflict" a ton of times but that all makes very good sense. i'm just referring to a tendency, which to me, the hotel owner/manager spoke to, to make it about a conflict over culture--and yeah there is a lot of dehumanizing of the other's culture and racist stereotypes, so that is a real thing, but I think it's generally misperceived to be at the heart of the matter, and the narrative of a "war of civilizations" becomes a rationalization for land theft--sorry to mischaracterize your phrasing and your framing!

@@shtetlcholoycd ⁠⁠ I think “the conflict” is mentioned twice in the whole thing. First me in the beginning mocking the one-dimensional media characterization and then Wisam mentioning it. I don’t mind at all what you said. I expected it in making these videos that people with strong opinions/viewpoints would take objection to anything that could be interpreted as not completely validating their perspective. People say they want to escape the echo chamber, but I think we all prefer it to a certain extent. And that, I believe, is what Wisam is saying people should avoid. If people are too eager to ‘correct’ a characterization that doesn’t match their pre-existing viewpoint, then they’ll never truly hear what someone is trying to say. Thanks for watching!

I won't argue with you but the West Bank (Transjordan) actually belongs to Jordan. They don't want it back because they are fearful of a Palestinian majority in Jordan if they do. So is this occupation or custodianship? Ask the Palestinians please what place they see for the Jews in this reagion. Hamas openly says it wants them exterminated. So how can the two sides even sit doqn and talk?
