A Palestinian and a Jewish guy sitting down to have a rational, intelligent conversation, restores my faith in humanity. God Bless you both 🙏🏼

They both agree. Saif is fine with the Jew using pro-Hamas talking points and will tolerate that.

@itssteve6018 3 ай бұрын

The Crusader states were inherently dependent, parasitic, entities solely existing as a result of massive foreign investment with zero domestic resources. The moment those foreign entities were unable to continue the massive level of waste spending, the Crusader states collapsed. This is exactly the fate that will befall modern Isreal.

Saif claims that in 1945 only about 5% of the land was owned by Jews, per the British. What he doesn't mention is that most of Israel was barren desert and had been swampland (full of malarial mosquitos) that only became usable after Jewish knowhow and capital and hard work developed it. The "Arab land" was actually mostly empty land owned by the Ottoman Empire before 1918 and then the British. It is totally misleading to say that the land was owned by Arabs.

"Palestinian dispossession is inevitable because land is the vital condition for our settlement in Palestine. But since there is hardly any land which is worth cultivating that is not already being cultivated, it is found that whatever we purchase land and settle it, by necessity its present cultivators are turned away . . . In the future it will be much more difficult to purchase land, as sparsely populated land hardly exists. What remains is densely [Palestinian Arab] populated land." Arthur Ruppin

Israel left Gaza in 2005 under right-winger Sharon. You can't explain this if you claim like Saif and Dave do that Israel just wants more and more land and fewer Arabs. Btw the population of Gaza went from 200,000 in 1967 to over 2 million today.

Seventy Five percent of the people in Gaza are refugees or children of refugees from the towns Israel ethnically cleansed along the coast and around Gaza.

Dr. Jill Stein, please be more visible to all voters and in particular to voters who cannot vote for either Biden or Trump. Also, please work with Bernie Sanders or at least appear publicly with him and reach out to his supporters if you haven't done so already. America needs you right now.
