He threw some shade😂😂

I literally love this guy so much. I met him in person didn't talk to him unfortunately. And I got so inspired.... Look at his professionalism... He grabs everyone's attention ,eye contacts with the the audience, hand gestures... Everything

The only person worth watching on this debate was lowkey

This isn’t really a debate tho, it’s statements followed by statements. Where are the rebuttals?

I love his accent.

He framed the debate as "The Arab world hasn't done absolutely NOTHING for the Palestinians" and then went on to prove some of the things that the Arab world has done. He gives the example of, and I'm paraphrasing, the Arab world not forgetting the Palestinians' identity. . . That is almost like saying, "well I didn't allow my brother to come stay at my house after he was kicked out of his, but hey, I still thought of him as my brother". I know the analogy isn't perfect, but it's not bad either. To the speaker's credit, the Arab world has obviously failed the Palestinians and he did a good job in trying to convince an audience of something that is patently false; hell, he may one day make a great politician ;)

Most arab countries and especially Jordan have failed palestinians ! (Jordan have prevented the creation of the palestinian state by "anexing" or more so colonising some of the palestinian territory at a very cruscial moment when the palestinian state could'v been created safely).

There is a need to emphasize the identity of the Palestinians because debates revolving around Palestine often assume an Arab identity. I don't blame people for this assumption, as if you go to Palestine now, they speak Arabic. Their shops, roads, and even television programs are all in Arabic. To someone from a Western country or an Orientalist, it is difficult to differentiate between Palestinians and Arabs because they speak the same language and look similar. However, in reality, the skin tones of Arabs and Palestinians differ. The communities in the Levant, including Palestinians, generally have lighter skin tones compared to the Arabs in North Africa, who tend to have darker skin tones. There are similarities due to interactions over the years, facilitated by the spread of Islam and the expansion of Arab empires in these regions. Emphasizing the identity of Palestinians is crucial, especially in the context of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, as both claim that this area is their homeland. The basis of their claims often takes a historical side, except for the Israelis, who also take a theological side, claiming that this land was given to them by God. Historically, the Israelis claim that their great ancestor, Jacob, migrated with other Hebrew families from the city of Ur, in modern-day Iraq, and settled in Canaan, which in the 1920s was referred to as Palestine. Historical Canaan is the area that today comprises the state of Jordan and Israel. The Hebrews or Israelis claim they settled there and interacted with the Canaanites, finding them in a position of power. After the Bronze Age collapse, primarily caused by the Sea Peoples from the Aegean Peninsula, the Canaanite civilization was unable to regain control. Consequently, the Hebrews, or Israelis, became predominant in government matters, forming the Kingdom of Judea and the Kingdom of Israel. Over time, there were power vacuums and shifts between empires, including the Greeks, Romans, Persians, Arabs, Turks, and Kurds. Palestinians claim that they are descendants of the Canaanites, a Semitic people like the Arabs. However, despite some linguistic similarities, they are not the same. Palestinians have taken DNA tests, and it was found that almost 60% of their DNA is Canaanite, with the rest being a mix of Egyptian, Iraqi, Turkish, and about 5% Arab DNA. These tests, conducted by private agencies like 23andMe, confirm that most Palestinians are not Arabs. Before 1920, the term "Arabs" referred to people living in the Arabian Peninsula. Outside this area, regions like Lebanon or Palestine were not considered Arab lands or their people Arab. An Arab country was one under Arab leadership, geographically situated in the Arabian Peninsula. An Arab is anyone with a deep connection to the Arabian Peninsula, tracing their heritage and culture back to this region. Therefore, the cultures of Yemen, Oman, and Saudi Arabia are similar, but outside the Arabian Peninsula, distinctions become apparent. The Islamic and Arabic influence over the centuries caused the local languages and identities to evolve. Some people believe they are descendants of Arabs, even though they aren't. Using the Arab League's standard for identifying Arab countries includes places like Somalia, although Somalians are not Arabs. For Palestinians to achieve autonomy and regain control over their land, they must emphasize their unique identity. Assuming an Arab identity and relying on Arab countries for support may not be effective. Out of 22 Arab countries, only 7 (Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen) might intervene, and these are predominantly Arab countries except for Jordan. The Jordanian monarchy acquired land through occupation during the British mandate of Palestine in 1920. Abdullah ibn Hussein requested an audience with the British Prime Minister, resulting in the division of Palestine, with Eastern Palestine given to the Arabs (Transjordan) and Western Palestine to the Zionist Jews, forming the state of Israel. Many Palestinians do not see eye to eye with Jordanians, despite the latter granting them citizenship. The division of their land involved no native Palestinians, leading to the formation of local militias fighting the occupation on both sides. The Jordanians crushed these revolutions, while the Israelis, with Western support, managed to persist. Significant revolutions, like Black September orchestrated by Yasser Arafat, leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, highlight the continued struggle.

The King of Jordan hired the Pakistan army to kill thousands of Palestine refugees in 1967. Great Arab help indeed !!!!

It is true,the Arab nations have supported the Palestine always-diplomaticly, politically , economically.👍👍👍

The speaker in this video is a compulsive debater.

What brilliant speech saar. I too one day hope to be looking like you in speech

Opening four minutes were good. When he got to actual debate part, he spoke too fast and didn't display great oratory skills, you need to catch the attention of the audience, it was all fast blabbering after four minutes.

Well this didn't age well

kediyal is the best

This kid is clearly being coached to be a career politician, what a sad product.

was the shade necessary tho

Those dark concords are stealing all the attention for me damn!!!

Truly marvelous!

This guy owns the 7-11 I buy my coffee ☕️.

U r right

Contradictions and Factual I accuracies are only what I see in his speech.

Who is he to talk

This is about as clear as mud. fudge waffle.

Brilliant speaker!

Am impressed beyond expression...!

The debate's proposition is bogus... “Allah be praised, we Palestinians all have Arab roots, every Palestinian can prove his Arab roots, whether from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, or anywhere. Personally, half my family is Egyptian, We are all like that. Over 30 families in Gaza are Egyptian, Al-Masri! …Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis” - Hamas Minister, Mr Fathi Hammad, talking to Al-Hekma (Egyptian TV Channel), March 23, 2012.
