And Germany's support of Israel.

You can't defend the Gazans without defending Hamas, which is pure evil.

@@thomassenbart ... from Day1, Israel ignored the Balfour Declaration, displacing existing communities, causing decades of conflict and death... Hence, Israel chose to be the Aggressor... and they made the Palestinians the Victim... forever. The aggressor does not have the right of self defence against its victim... or anyone who steps in to defend the victim... And so... the aggressor tells the next generation that They are the victims... and the true victims are animals, and terrorists, and Nazis, owning copies of Mein Kampf (🧐 !!!) etc... They who must live by lies, deceit, dishonesty, an inverted moral compass... and corrupting politicians... are defending an indefensible position... forever... Dissolution is the only peaceful conclusion.

@@thomassenbartso much evil in your statement

@@crito1389 No, the opposite. Hamas is demonstrably evil and if you cannot recognize that, you are as well.

Germany learned well. They are now protecting Jews from Jihadists.

You captured it in essence brilliantly. Thank you. Much appreciated. A German in Australia

If Germans take the other view, then on this issue they find themselves on the same side as the Palestinians Russians, Iranians, Chinese unlike the entire Western world, including all of its immediate neighbours. Germany, unlike the US, did not vote against the ceasefire at the UN but abstained. Not that this a simple matter of taking sides. Israel would immediately withdraw their ambassador and likely sever relations. It's hard not to see the argument in this video about Germany disingenuous.

@@rumblejungle5590only because the criminals in Israel will whine “anti-semite”. Pardon me, but since when does Israel get to dictate to anyone in the world? I’m talking about ordinary people here, NOT bent politicians who take bribes from foreign governments. Obviously they have the ego for it, but that doesn’t make it so. The only people Israel has purchased, is high ranking politicians, media moguls & corrupt media mouthpieces. That doesn’t mean they own everyone else.

This Jew agrees with him.

Exactly.

Finkelstein is great, as is Miko Peled, an Israeli Jew who has worked tirelessly for years on behalf of the Palestinians.

Finkelstein, even if he is Jewish, has a lot to learn and process. He is still in darkness regarding the State of Israel. That he still remembers terrible memories of Auschwitz or Majdanek it doesn't matter. I remember them from my family, too, but to have a heart or understanding for Palestinians terrorists from the 7th of October or until the 7th of October, it is quite impossible. It means to have a heart for the NAZI criminals from WWII. AND according to my perception, Ms. Klein is a little delusional. She wants to be o both seids of the fens.

@@lorenzley1324 Klein, like Norman Finkelstien and Noam Chomsky, is caught in the delusion that all sides are wrong because power is always wrong, and that the weaker party is more oppressed and more deserving of help no matter what depravity is committed. Their ideal is stateless communism, which miraculously eliminates all sides and all bad actors, an obvious failure of understanding. The bad guys were the Nazis. The bad guys are theocratic terrorists. The bad guys are J6 insurrectionists and Republican fascists. No one can guarantee that Israel won't make mistakes, but there is no question that Israelis, and Jews everywhere, understand their centuries-long victimhood at the hands of fascist lunatics, whether Inquisitors, Czars, Nazis, or terrorists who have absolutely no interest in democratic values. Klein has no right to turn back the clock and reverse the creation of Israel because of her foolish ideal. it's too late for that. She should be proudly supporting the existence and continued flowering of the miracle of Israel, and working to convince the Arab world to create similar thriving democracies in the Middle East. Of course that won't happen. Democracy cannot coexist with theocracy, just as it can't co-exist with fascism here in the United States.

Meaning what?

@@florincoter1988 2:40 try listening again to Naomi Klein

@@lorilea3188 This is not the answer to my question.

​@@florincoter1988I think she means to say that it is important to understand the reasoning behind a moral position than just blindly accepting said position. It is like reading and understanding the proof of a theorem rather just just memorising the theorem. In Germany's case, rather than understand the principle than gen-o-cide is unacceptable, and discrimination is bad, they learnt the maxim: gen-o-cide against Jews is unacceptable, and anti-Jewish discrimination is bad.

@@Abdul-Akeem_Akinloye Thank you for calm words. What I personally appreciate though is rational thinking, not moral thinking. Moral thinking is aimed at doing what is perceived as "good". When I was a kid it was a good moral act to educate using beating. A rational thinking takes into account the damages produced by pain. I do not try to convince you, just to put forward different optics.

The "never again" Israelis never spoke out about post-Holocaust genocides in Cambodia, Uganda, Kurdistan, etc. This would have broken the retraumatization spell.

@@donhuber9131 and they’re committing a genocide if their own.

I won't even go out on that day. This was my decision since I first saw the list of potential candidates. It's sad but there is nothing to chose from...

Does the US have a Green Party? ... supporting genocide is usually not on their agenda...

and this is a fault of Americans only.

@@BocaoZ ... like in the UK, the US has two principal political parties... and both have been bought out by rogues... and both are bent... Vote Green...

Its not the fault of Americans only cause its the same exact thing in the UK two parties who are just monsters and couldn't care less , This is the problem in the vast majority of the west .

I know a married jewish couple with 2 young children, age 8 and 10. They told their children about holocaust. Their children are now having nightmares every night.

Does that include the other animals?

It’s funny how Germany is in the wrong side every time, what a joke

@@joefrangieh6599 Ever since Charlemagne. Teutoburg was based, but the Romans corrupted them with empire eventually.

Germany has produced greats in Philosophy Maths.Science.technology literature but when it comes to ordinary everyday Germany there seems to be something lacking...is it common sense?..it does not require a genius to recognise genoside or to work out the guilt for Holocaust is not wiped out by supporting Zionist genocide!!!

​@@joefrangieh6599das ist nicht lustig😢, es ist eine Katastrophe, auch für die meisten Deutschen!!!

What about Owen Johnes? I think, he is very brilliant analyst.

O'Brien is an arse. He was more than happy to attack Corbyn when it was fashionable to do so. He's a capitalist who takes the side of controversy to be relevant, for his ratings is all!

This is the final line of the poem Silence for Gaza which helped me understand more in 3 minutes than almost anything else ever has. Very powerful words and written in 1973

Seriously, do you beleive that? Did you read Hamas' own charter? Their reason for being is to subdue the jews and put them in their place as Dhimmi. No, i do not believe the that is the place for the Jews, i am not even muslim. I hope you are muslim if you think the jews need to be "put in their place" are you? or just full of hate?

It does not.

@@thomassenbart I assume you're a zionist, thomas. zionism is a perverse ideology. Perhaps you also live in Berlin.

@@malcolmtyler1673 No and no. Your assumptions are incorrect. Zionism, however, is not perverse at all. It was simply the movement to return Jews to the Holy land and live and or establish a state, which was accomplished. Nothing perverse in that. At the time the movement was created, the Ottomans controlled the area then after WWI, the British. There has never been a Palestinian people, nation, culture, civilization, language etc...the term emerged in the 1960s. It's a construct. The people who now call themselves Palestinians are just Arabs, also conquerors and colonists if you want to uses the same narrative. The previously peoples were Christians.

Was Klein, a featured speaker, among the 300 arrested in Brooklyn this morning..?

It was probably the worse part, especially regarding the depravity. It was Germany that was responsible for the Holocaust. Now it wants to aid a genocide of the Palestinians. Where is their insight? Supporting Israel is blatantly stupid, even on a pragmatic level.

99% of World War II was not about the Jews? I guess what you could say is that there was a huge population fighting the wars that were we’re not Jewish. I see the point in that but you cannot erase what happened to the Jews from World War 2

Wow, the Germans tried to wipe an entire ethnic race of people from history but that's all we hear about, what a moronic ignorant thing to say.

@@SuperDflower Of course… we should also never forget what was done to people in the name of efficiency (relieving society of the burden of the disabled and mentally ill) and what was done to social rejects, gays, and other minorities. When people like the MAGA people who want to kill immigrants start screaming their ugly truths it should be a wake up call to everyone who is related somehow with potential victims. Trump’s ideology is basically evil, and by normalising hate he has a huge number of people saying he is the best president ever even though none of the normal measurement of an administration bear out their statements.

Exactly!
