Thank you professor Shlaim. You are always a voice of reason. I love listening to you, you are a gem.

This is a lucid and cogent presentation of a rational, critical and humane analysis of Israel as an ethno-nationalist state. He does not shy away from describing this as a "racist" state. Prof. Avi Shlaim is a very decent, public intellectual. He is Jewish himself and an eminent academic at Oxford. Great thanks.

The supreme law of the US - the Constitution - stipulates it shall respect no religion, yet; the very claimants of the US as being a Christian nation see no correlation between this ^ claim and their unswerving devotion to Old Testament verses saying things such as 'God loves the nation that loves Israel' (obviously I'm paraphrasing). Israel ceased to exist when the Lord got utterly furious in how the Israelites continually behaved & disobeyed Him, allowing Rome to cause the diaspora, ransacking the temple & taking it's contents as spoil. - The Palestinians didn't do this, the Israelites did it to themselves. Are we, then as a 'Christian nation', in fact, a Theocracy - bent on consistent fealty to another Theocracy - Zionist Israel, with it's flag everywhere, portraying an occultic symbol, instead of, say, banners showing Torah scrolls? One reason ignorant Americans hate Iran is because it is a Theocracy, no? Long before Palestine was invaded by Poland, it was Christian Zionists beating the drums for statehood for Europeans to colonize - the Palestinians were obstacles for Christian Zionists. In the 1800s it was common for Christian Zionists to make 'pilgrimages' to the Holy land. Not one of them knew it was a Muslim Palestinian family whose job it was to unlock the huge door to the most important Christian church in all Palestine, caretaking the key within a sole family of ancient origin. A slender young man would unlock the opening within the door with that 400AD key, opening the door for worship from the inside. I place the blame squarely at the feet of ignorant(?) American pastors, who taught & still teach their flocks that the popular tours of the Holy Land of the OT is for Jews, when since the Romans sacked the temple in 70 AD - causing the expulsion of those Jews. The Ashkenazi of today are mostly atheist. The Sephardic Jews are the real deal, folks, and they were coerced into moving to Palestine. The Poles treated the Jew(ish) inhabitants just as badly as they did the native Muslims, Druze and Christians. Atheist Zionist Israelis fervently dislike Torah Jews. They feel Torah Jews make them look old-fashioned, not militant. Anyway, entire Cheistian towns were bombed, burned, you name it, the inhabitants murdered or run off in 1948, not only the publicized Islamists. Why did the JNF use tree-planting as one benefit from the donations? Trees block images of foundations, property lines & ancient paths from view. 'parks' are created on stolen land & properties until settlements can be built. Entire

Professor Avi Schlaim is an honest man in his statement about the difference between anti-semitism and anti-zionism, not one word wrong about it. However, the world is blind to see this difference and follows the non-religious organisation called zionists. Zionism is a political organisation and should never been the ruler of the holy land of Palestine, this land should be ruled by a religious group which include Muslims, Jews and Christians. The group would need to have the basic principle that each of its members are equal and respect eachother. Politics have failed for centuries, why is it impossible to learn from history.

Semitic languages are spoken by Arabs, Israelis, Aramaeans, Maltese, as well as several language groups in Ethiopia and even Eritrea. Accordingly, an Ethiopian who speaks a Semitic language would also have to be an anti-Semite if he criticized the Eritrean government.

His new book “Three Worlds: Memoirs of an Arab Jew” is a very good read.

Anti-Semitism is something that has lived for centuries among all European folks from east to west Europe. ( from Russia to Holland) It's a European invention and not a Muslim. All pogroms that happened in medieval Europe against Jews were a result of envy and jealousy because of Jews's success and wealth. What they did in WW2, not only in Germany but in all Europa countries is the cause of the current Palestinian problem.

Ergo, the phrase "anti-semitism" thereby really means anti-Arab (which Jews are not).

This wise old Oompa-Loompa makes a lot of sense 🤔

The speech is beautiful and well expressed, BUT I want to report some facts. In 1920, long before the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, and long before the establishment of the state of Israel, there was already virulent anti-Semitism from the Palestinian Arabs towards the Jews. There was no distinction between Jews and Zionists. They were the same thing to them, and it is documented. On April 4, 1920, the mayor of Jerusalem, Musa Qasim al-Husayni, made the crowd swear to be ready to shed its blood for Palestine. 'Arif al-‘Arif, director of "Suriyya al-Janubiyya," declared: "If we do not resort to force against Zionists and Jews, we will never get rid of them." And the crowd chanted "Nashrab dam al-Yahud" - "We will drink the blood of the Jews." On February 27, 1920, the chief administrative officer of the OETA, Louis Bols, stated in an interview with the Arab daily "Marat al-Sharq" that Britain intended to implement the Balfour Declaration. The interview caused a series of demonstrations, shop closures in protest, petitions, and the spread of badges with slogans such as "Down with Zionism" and "Death to the Jews." On March 8, the news of the evacuation in northern Galilee was greeted with enthusiasm and chants such as: "Palestine is our land and the Jews are our dogs" and "Death to the Jews" (Itbah al-Yahud). As you can see, it was "al-Yahud" and not Zionists, or it was always synonymous. I report this because in my opinion, the same thing is happening today. Yes there are those who rightly criticize the policy of the Israeli state, but many take advantage of the real difference between Zionism and Judaism, hiding a true anti-Semitism.
