The arabs in Gaza have the right to vote. So they elected Hamas in 2006,- with the charter; kill jews and vipe out Israel. The arabs on the Westbank have the right to vote: so they elected Abbas who denied Holocaust and has the same charter as Hamas. Why do some people still go on claiming that these arabs do not have the right to vote??? Lisbeth

Indeed, the Jews in Israel did by what right the Native Americans should do in America. If the world was a fair place the Native Americans would be able to take back America, or rather if the world was really a fair place both the Jews and the Native Americans would not have lost their ancestral land to conquers in the first place.

@@mrrolight Well a Native American could show up to my doorstep and stake a claim to my property because it used to Native American land, the problem for him though is that it's USA land now because we won a bunch of wars and took it from the natives. Israel was created in the post-WWII environment with the blessing of the UN, then they promptly got attacked and they won all the wars, so they get the land. Losing wars has consequences.

The rest of us have accepted it, moved past “American exceptionalism” and try to make ends meet.

On the few occasions when they're forced to retract or correct something, does that really erase the false impression they gave their hordes of zombie-like readers? Of course not-and they knew that when they published it.

@@PoldarkGodzilla your point is often stated, but it’s irrelevant. Many states and organisations have taken a similar approach. It neither qualifies nor precludes ones right to self determination or statehood. Just because someone wants you to die is not a good enough reason to get your kin to migrate to someone else’s country. The fact that the name “Palestine” wasn’t used historically is neither here nor there. Zimbabwe wasn’t used by locals in that country prior to colonisation, much of that country was part of the kingdom of Monomatapa, but that didn’t dilute the local tribes peoples claim to create a new state called Zimbabwe. The same can be said of the United Kingdom. Italy and Germany were not states until relatively recently either.

I think the interviewee (if you can call him that as he barely got a word in) also is defending Israel. He just acknowledges that the conflic is not as black and white as Maher wants to believe.

Yah, what a great voice of logic. I love how he belittles "kids" for their position and his idea that Instagram is how they learn history. Well, im not a kid and im far.... FAR more educated on this topic than Bill is. There is nothing intelligent, logical or historically accurate with Bill and this topic. Its been a month since this video, how right is Bill? By Israels own, very questionable statistics, theyre at a 68% civilian casualty rate. More honest and probably more accurate organizations have it at nearly 90%. 13,000 children dead. Israel cut power, food and water to civilians. Theyre using white phosphorus against Palestinians. Not a day goes by where theyre not creaking 4 to 8 war crimes as defined by the Geneva conventions. Israel, multiple times, has called for and claimed goal is, genocide and ethnic cleansing. And this POS joke of a human wants to say "kids" are out of line? People like Bill cant claim its a war AND these are terrorists. It does not work like that. Its one or the other. And his BS history.... omg... yah Bill, the Jewish people were a part of that land... B.C. ... then the Christians controlled it for around 400 years, then pre-Muslims for another 200 to 300 years, then a couple Muslim empires like Ottoman, until like 1920. 😂 Hes so full of crap.

What is the source that led him to conclude that Israelis were in Israel before Arabs existed, for instance? Why does it matter how old Islam is. Is he saying Arabs didnt exist before Israelis and Islam is a younger religion, therefore Israel is under siege from invaders whose established homes they are justified in taking. Instagram may not be a good source of historical education, but how about current affairs?

They already have their homeland back. They just need to share it with other people. (By 'they' i mean all of the above natives jews arabs everyone)

@Michael Brown he's actually extremely accurate. Try visiting our country ones and see with your own eyes instead of believing online propaganda.

@Michael Brown well, I'm basing my opinion that he's right, on the fact that I was born and am living in the country he talks about, and see the issues he's raising every day, with my own eyes. What makes you think that he's not right?

He just forgot the land stealing, no biggie.

Is this sarcasm?

You misspelled “hasbara”

I find it peculiar that Maher brings up SA. As if Mandela and pretty much every South African I’ve ever met believes Palestinians are under apartheid rule 🤔🤷‍♀️

@@brandihillcom That is because you only meet idiots.

@@brandihillcom Hi. South African here. Definitely not apartheid. I've been there and lived through apartheid. You can't compare

@@SelfAweh respectfully, I’d like to hear the perspective of a BROWN skinned South African who lived through apartheid. 🥰❤️ the pass id’s , the check points, the petty harassment’s seems to all line up 🤔. I dunno neither of us have toured Palestinian restricted zones…. But Gabor Mate, a Jewish man who lived through the Holocaust, has himself been on the ground, and says it is identical to apartheid.

@@SelfAweh governing South African agencies who have studied both areas seem to also conclude the simulators. 🤔A 2009, legal study was commissioned and coordinated by the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) of South Africa on Israel's practices in the occupied Palestinian territories under international law.[81] The report noted that one of the most 'notorious' aspects of the Apartheid policy was the 'racial enclave policy' manifested in the Black Homelands called bantustans, and added: "As the apartheid regime in South Africa, Israel justifies these measures under the pretext of 'security'. Contrary to such claims, they are in fact part of an overall regime aimed at preserving demographic superiority of one racial group over the other in certain areas".[82] According to the report, Israel's practices in the occupied Palestinian territories correlate almost entirely with the definition of apartheid as established in Article 2 of the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid. Comparison to South African laws and practices by the apartheid regime also found strong correlations with Israeli practices, including violations of international standards for due process (such as illegal detention); discriminatory privileges based on ascribed ethnicity (legally, as Jewish or non-Jewish); draconian enforced ethnic segregation in all parts of life, including by confining groups to ethnic "reserves and ghettoes"; comprehensive restrictions on individual freedoms, such as movement and expression; a dual legal system based on ethno-national identity (Jewish or Palestinian); denationalization (denial of citizenship); and a special system of laws designed selectively to punish any Palestinian resistance to the system. The study found that: "the State of Israel exercises control in the Occupied Palestinian Territories with the purpose of maintaining a system of domination by Jews over Palestinians and that this system constitutes a breach of the prohibition of apartheid." The report was published in 2012 as Beyond Occupation: Apartheid, Colonialism and International Law in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.[83]

Amen! My thought exactly

He doesn't know shit. even his guest - who apparently was invited to defend Israel - disagreed with him on almost every point.

He's barely a democrat. Maher is so out of touch he's irrelevant. The Dem Party is moving to the left on Israel with good reason: Israel takes billions in US money and does whatever it wants, even when it is against our interests: such as building Jewish only settlements in the land ostensibly slated to be a Palestinian state.

THE REAL TRUTH? Bill Maher failed to ask why did Hamas fired into Jerusalem in the first place. Of course you don't want to know. He rather shrug it off and react to Hamas rocket shooting. Let me cut and paste what I wrote earlier: The problem with Bill Maher's argument is that Israel has been under an obvious right-wing government, especially former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who encourage former President Donald Trump to agree the move of the Israeli capital to Jerusalem without the consent of the Palestinian Authority President, Mahmoud Abbas. Under Donald Trump (with his ugly behavior towards Palestinians), he snubbed President Abbas after Abbas complained about the capital move. This enraged so many people in Gaza when (on February 24, 2018) Prime Minister Netanyahu invited Trump to Israel for ribbon-cutting ceremony to inaugurate the new US embassy in Jerusalem. This was NOT a negotiation strategy that satisfied both sides because there was no negotiation. This was a one-sided issue that favored Israel 100%. Who can President Abbas complain to? Not the United States. What led Hamas to fire long-range rockets toward Jerusalem was in protest against the right-wing government of Israel's heavy-handed approach of threatening evictions of dozens of Palestinian families by Jewish settlers. Plus Israel's handling of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem. Hamas' violent response to the disrespect Israel and the United States did to ignore the Palestinian Authority, quickly gave Israel to launch airstrikes on Gaza. This was a shameful act by Israel and the United States, and Bill Maher tends to ignore this part.

@@RW-kp3wr People like you are why there will never be peace in this world, you just repeat social media talking points without any prior knowledge about a subject. US foreign aid to Israel is literally less than 1% of Israel’s GDP. What do you think foreign aid is? Cash? It’s credit that the US gives for Israel to acquire American made/sponsored products which in turn benfits the American economy. It’s the American way of putting an economic footprint in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East.

Why are they in prison? They probably shouldn't have launched a war against Egypt and Israel?

Absolutely shame on him

You're not wrong. But SOMEBODY needs to kindle curiosity within the Instagram generation. Hopefully, Maher's show will induce people to learn the relevant history and form an informed opinion, not just a heartfelt but (IMO) severely non-analytical, opinion...

Regardless of whatever Bill wants to call modern day Palestinians, the genetic makeup of the people living between Mesopotamia and Egypt has been pretty much the same for thousands of years according to this joint study: www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/dna-from-biblical-canaanites-lives-modern-arabs-jews?cmpid=int_org=ngp::int_mc=website::int_src=ngp::int_cmp=amp::int_add=amp_readtherest The only thing that’s wrong with this study in my opinion is the disparate effort to apply western biblical definitions to the area. I think the whole story of the Israelites in my opinion can be a misinterpretation or mistranslation of the original ancient Hebrew text, to the point that the entire geography of the Bible story could’ve taken place somewhere else. One fringe theory that is gathering momentum shows evidence of striking resemblance between the names of tribes and geography in the Bible to that of Yemen! It also explains why no record of the Hebrews was found in hieroglyphic records in Egypt

@@hdd1977m7 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judea_(Roman_province) You do realize the romans liked to keep records, right?

Really? His lecture about the Jews being in Israel 1800 years before Islam even started was accurate.

But not really because if he really disagrees he just starts yelling louder and goads his audience to applaud for his points or else.

We're all entitled to our opinions.

In fact some of us think we're entitled period.

your comment in quintessential of foe-intellectual centrists. Only talking about "having tough conversations", without actually proposing anything

He’s a lot more educated on this topic than many pro Palestinians are. I think you’re just salty he showed the other side’s perspective.

​@@edencohen7097 He barely let the other guy - his guest - talk.That's the job of a TV host. To invite someone and let them speak, not interrupt them every two seconds because you don't like their point of view

@@lacountess I think he just corrected him. Like when he said about the two state solution, he corrected him and said that it was on the table many times.

@@edencohen7097 I didn't have a problem with that part. I had a problem when he went into the history lesson about why the conflict originally began and, like many here in the comments pointed out, made a case for Native Americans being completely within their rights to kick everyone in America out of their homes.

@@lacountess But he’s right, it’s the exact same case as native Americans. Only difference is that they are not surrounded by enemy states, and native Americans aren’t looking for revenge and death like Palestinians leaders do.

So you mean very few countries whites have stolen or occupy. Asia, Africa, and S america has its original inhabitants +white people.

What about having an established country there for 70 years in favor of a country that never existed because previously the land was controlled by Brits and Ottoman Turks

I know, I hate that BS

How come nobody ever looks at all the good things that have happened to South Africa BECAUSE it was colonized? When you look at that continent you could do far worse living in most other countries that are there.

Let's be honest: calling the indigenous people, who were given back their land by the owners, "occupiers" is worse than moronic.

So right-wing

@@_blank-_ you're right, the truth is right-wing

Hail Zion

Lmao

It's actually nervous hog noises. He doesn't want to get into that, and I can always appreciate someone who doesn't try to offer an opinion if they don't consider themselves an expert on the subject.

What's the point. He's not stupid, he knows what Bill wants to hear and you're not going to prove him wrong in the couple of minutes you can spend on this subject.

Carville looks like an extra on Star Trek 😅

I’d say more “redundant”, but it is quite conceited to sit at the top of an ivory tower in an office wearing a suit making rules on war for soldiers on the ground as if it’s a “game” or something. War just sucks. There’s no “good way” to conduct war. There’s no “better” way to conduct war. It’s just war and it just sucks.

This statement is one of those things that sounds clever but is really dumb when u think about it

@@aflak08 how so?

No kidding!

Yes exactly this. I've heard morons saying all morning "what about the Muslims?" Then I get accused Antisemitism when I compare Muslims to Jews. The anti Muslim bigotry is so clear. They pretend as if Muslims are uniquely bad, when they don't even know the biggest Muslim country isn't even Arab.

A US backed dictatorship mind you that supports Israel, like all Middle Eastern dictatorships that aren't Syria, Egypt is literally Israel's biggest ally in making Palestinian life a living hell.

Just remembered that Saudi has effectively criminalized being pro-Palestine and multiple Saudis have disappeared for writing pro-Palestine tweets and every single human rights activist rotting in prisons there or exiled like the Hathloul family and the guy from the dissident and Khashoggi may he rest in peace are all pro-Palestine, this has been happening for years even before the current psycho that doesn't mask his love of Israel and the government pushes officials and celebrities to say vile racist things against Palestinians and spread zionist talking points. The same in the UAE, only members of royal families from outside Dubai and Abu Dhabi that hold the country hostage were able to get away with expressing pro-Palestine feelings, the police chief of either Dubai or Abu Dhabi sole job has been slandering Palestinians and the Arab Spring on twitter for a long time now along with other government lackeys.

Israel is a wonderful country though, it’s a true democracy and much like most European countries, Canada or the states, I’m there now, there is true freedom and the people are lovely and accepting.

The hamas fired so many that 4 rockets were able to get through due to sheer volume.

"Imagine such tolerance for Jews in Arab states" - oh, do you mean like the 30,000 jews living happily in Iran? There are about 35 synagogues in Iran, isn't that terrible how they are treated there? Ooops, sorry did I accidentally step on your "we are always the victims" crying?

@@ThunderDog97 first of all you provide a false figure. I suggest you check your sources. It is more like 9k Second its mostly old folks that speak only Persian that still want to live there. Remaininder has been consistently moving out of Iran. I am no expert on this topic so I might be wrong here but I doubt jews in Iran are a prospering community.

@@Pawelec801 I stand corrected, 30,000 is a dated number as many have made aliyah. "Today, 12,000 to 15,000 Jews remain in Iran, according to the committee. It’s a small minority in a nation of 80 million people. But consider: Iran is home to the Middle East’s largest Jewish population outside Israel. The number of Jews in Iran has plummeted since the 1979 Islamic Revolution"

In the 1800's the Palestinians allowed the Christians to maintain their holy sites like the Church of the Holy Sepulture in Jerusalem and the Jews where allowed to maintain their wall in Jerusalem. In fact there where good relations between the Palestinians and the West until we stabbed them in the back at the Paris Peace Conference after World War One. They fought on our side in WW1 and liberated Aqaba from the Ottomans and helped Liberate Jerusalem. Then we turned around and made them a Protectorate of Britain all the while President Wilson was preaching "Self Determination for all Peoples". The British took away the right of the Palestinians to control their own immigration policy, resulting in a flood of unwanted Jewish Immigration that amounted to a virtual invasion. The British did see the error in their ways and tried to reverse the situation but it was too late and then the USA took over as the main benefactor of the Jews in Palestine. And the USA today complains about an increase in unwanted immigration from Mexico which is just a trickle compared to what the Palestinians where forced to take.

@@TheDatabaseDude I think you lay it out accurately and fairly. The problem I have with going back into history as to who owns what is how long do you go back ? A generation ? 10 generations or 100 perhaps ? If we rely purely on history and discard politics this is Jewish land.
