The 100 year war on Palestine w/Rashid Khalidi | The Chris Hedges Report

All too often, the question of Palestine is framed as an eternal conflict arising from ancient ethnic or religious hatreds, with questions regarding the origins of the state of Israel and the legitimacy of land claims reduced to matters of scriptural interpretation. Such views entirely omit the actual history of Palestine and the Zionist movement. The colonization of Palestine, a process still playing out before our eyes to this day, has definite historical origins at the turn of the 20th century, when Zionism was born and the encroachment of Palestinian land began. Historian Rashid Khalidi, author of The Hundreds' Year War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917- 2017, joins The Chris Hedges Report for a look into this essential history, and how it can help us frame Israel's present war on Gaza.
Rashid Khalidi is the Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University, and the author of several books.

    Don't be intimidated by the use of declaring a person anti Semitic if s/he doesn't support Zionist apartheid and oppression of Palestinians. Palestinians are Semitic too. Israel doesn't have the moral high ground. If we lose friends because we are standing for right, what have we really lost? Nothing. We need to assess who we are allowing in our inner circle.

I struggled to understand young American Jews supporting the Palestinians until really opening myself up to a much larger narrative. My friends and family don't really have that desire, they're busy people, these are deeply held beliefs we learned in childhood that have largely gone unquestioned and been reinforced: Jews good intolerant murderous Arabs want us dead.

The Arab people have been in that area for hundreds of years. They migrated there peacefully and had nothing to do with expelling the “original Jews”.

    Zahir Muhsein was a Palestinian leader of the pro-Syria As-Sa'iqa Ba'athist faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization between 1971 and 1979. In an interview with Trouw Magazine, 31. March 1977 he stated....."The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel and for Arab unity. If Palestine were an Arab state, at any point in recorded history, why was there no mention of them? Because there never was an Arab Palestinian nation, nor any nation called Palestine, ever.

Personally, half my family is Egyptian. We are all like that. More than 30 families in the Gaza Strip are called Al-Masri ["Egyptian"]. Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians. We are Arabs.

    Or has ever been?????????? What you don't know is a lot. You don't speak for anyone but yourself so don't pretend you know better. You are entitled to your opinion but not everyone elses. Do you think what Hamas did was ok? Have you seen any of the videos that were shown? Sickening. A young german girl who was jewish had attended the music festival and when Hamas terrorists attacked with no provocation they indiscriminately slaughtered everyone they could get at the music festival. There is video of the young german girl being raped while others stood around and kicked and punched her. Afterwards they dragged her naked body through the streets while Palestinians cheered like it was a celebration. Another man called his mother proudly declaring how he had taken off an Israeli mans head with a shovel screaming how proud she should be that she taught him so well. Did you see the video of the man with his small child who he held being tied together to and then set ablaze? Don't pretend that you know everything there is to know about the relationship Israel has with the Palestinians. You see one side because the media controls what you see. Why is it up to Israel to fix this problem? Egypt also borders the Gaza strip and they don't want anything to do with the Palestinians. They won't open their border to them. Why is that? Don't condemn what you don't fully understand. We need the truth from all angles not just one and from where I'm standing what I know is that this conflict was instigated by the Palestinians. I would like to see an end to all wars but as long as men decide to do wicked things the retaliation will continue to follow in the form of another war.

    The Balfour Declaration had no actual authority... Britain’s governance of Palestine, purportedly under the mandate scheme of the League of Nations, never gained a lawful foundation. The League of Nations had no power under the League Covenant to attribute legal significance to the Mandate for Palestine, or to give Britain a right to govern.

    What happened to the Jews living in East of the Jordan River became the Emirate of Transjordan, to be ruled by Faysal’s brother ‘Abdullah? The Jews living there disappeared. Not a single soul remained. And that remains the west of the Jordan River became the Palestine Mandate. So u are going to expel the existing Palestinian Yishuv Jewish communities living there? How about 1880s mass immigration during the Ottoman Empire bet 1881 and 1903? That is only the 1st Aliyah of Jews. This only highlights Dr. Khalid's narrative of his biases against the Jews. There are many points that he did not bother to discuss.

    What happened to the Palestinian Yishuv Jewish communities who have been living side by side w/ the Christians and Muslims? 1. How about the waves of Jews in 1880s expelled and persecuted from Morocco, Yemen, Algiers, Saudi where some settled in Southern Levant [that became Palestine]? Eastern Jews are traders and merchants. Acres and acres of lands are purchased from absentee landlords, that angered the peasants of the region. They are forced to evacuate the land fr the new owners [Jews]. 2. The wailing Wall Riots in 1929, never mentioned why? Hundreds of Jews died. 3. The presence of British meant jobs which attracted thousands of laborers especially fr Egypt to Palestine.

Evil and Genocide triumph bcos good men are passive. They sit idly while the Palestinian holocaust occured. One of the reasons why United Nations was formed after WWII was to ensure effective intervention can occur in the future b4 another potential Jewish Holocast can recur. Apparently it failed miserably based on ethnic hatred. UN does not serve and protect human rights when powerful nations are the perpetrators. The Palestinian Holocaust still can occur.

    BS that is what it was. Pre-Roman Period Ancient Civilizations (Before 1000 BCE): The region was inhabited by various ancient peoples, including the Canaanites. It's mentioned in Egyptian and Mesopotamian texts. Israelite Kingdoms (c. 1000 - 586 BCE): Biblical accounts describe the formation of the Kingdom of Israel and the subsequent Kingdom of Judah. This period saw the rise of Hebrew culture and religion. Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian Rule (8th - 4th Century BCE): The Assyrian Empire conquered the northern kingdom (Israel) in 722 BCE. The Babylonians conquered the southern kingdom (Judah) in 586 BCE, leading to the Babylonian Exile. Persian rule began in 539 BCE, allowing Jews to return and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. Roman Period Roman Conquest (63 BCE): The Romans conquered the region, which became part of the Roman Empire. Jewish-Roman Wars (66 - 135 CE): A series of revolts against Roman rule, including the Great Revolt (66-73 CE) and the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-135 CE). These revolts were brutally suppressed, leading to significant Jewish casualties and diaspora. Byzantine Period (4th - 7th Century CE): Christianity became the dominant religion under Byzantine rule. The region experienced relative stability and prosperity. Islamic and Crusader Periods Early Islamic Period (7th - 11th Century): Arab Muslim armies conquered the region in the 7th century. The Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates ruled, with Jerusalem becoming a significant Islamic center. Crusader Kingdoms (1099 - 1291 CE): European Crusaders established several states, including the Kingdom of Jerusalem. This period was marked by conflict between the Crusaders and Muslim powers. Mamluk Rule (1291 - 1517): The Mamluks, based in Egypt, defeated the Crusaders and took control. They maintained Islamic dominance and stabilized the region. Ottoman Period Ottoman Rule (1517 - 1917): The Ottoman Empire conquered the region. It was administered as part of the Damascus Eyalet and later the Jerusalem Sanjak. Relative autonomy for local communities under the millet system. British Mandate and the Creation of Israel British Mandate (1917 - 1948): Post-World War I, the League of Nations granted Britain the mandate over Palestine. The Balfour Declaration (1917) supported a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. Tensions rose between Jewish and Arab communities. United Nations Partition Plan (1947): Proposed a partition of the land into Jewish and Arab states. Accepted by Jewish leaders but rejected by Arab leaders. Establishment of Israel and Arab-Israeli Conflict (1948): Israel declared independence in 1948. This led to the first Arab-Israeli war. Significant Palestinian displacement (Nakba). Post-1948 Developments Further Conflicts: Numerous conflicts, including the 1967 Six-Day War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Peace Efforts and Ongoing Conflict: Attempts at peace, including the Oslo Accords (1990s), have seen limited success. The region remains a focal point of Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with issues like settlements, borders, and the status of Jerusalem unresolved. 21st Century Developments: Continued conflict and peace negotiations. International efforts to resolve the conflict, though a comprehensive peace agreement remains elusive.

And no they did not come from Canaan as they claim. It was the Philistines who lived there & waged wars against Israel. The Philistines originated from Greece & Cyprus & were known as the boat people. And yes the lived & traded in Gaza.

    No it was not. Here is the historical context. Pre-Roman Period Ancient Civilizations (Before 1000 BCE): The region was inhabited by various ancient peoples, including the Canaanites. It's mentioned in Egyptian and Mesopotamian texts. Israelite Kingdoms (c. 1000 - 586 BCE): Biblical accounts describe the formation of the Kingdom of Israel and the subsequent Kingdom of Judah. This period saw the rise of Hebrew culture and religion. Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian Rule (8th - 4th Century BCE): The Assyrian Empire conquered the northern kingdom (Israel) in 722 BCE. The Babylonians conquered the southern kingdom (Judah) in 586 BCE, leading to the Babylonian Exile. Persian rule began in 539 BCE, allowing Jews to return and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. Roman Period Roman Conquest (63 BCE): The Romans conquered the region, which became part of the Roman Empire. Jewish-Roman Wars (66 - 135 CE): A series of revolts against Roman rule, including the Great Revolt (66-73 CE) and the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-135 CE). These revolts were brutally suppressed, leading to significant Jewish casualties and diaspora. Byzantine Period (4th - 7th Century CE): Christianity became the dominant religion under Byzantine rule. The region experienced relative stability and prosperity. Islamic and Crusader Periods Early Islamic Period (7th - 11th Century): Arab Muslim armies conquered the region in the 7th century. The Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates ruled, with Jerusalem becoming a significant Islamic center. Crusader Kingdoms (1099 - 1291 CE): European Crusaders established several states, including the Kingdom of Jerusalem. This period was marked by conflict between the Crusaders and Muslim powers. Mamluk Rule (1291 - 1517): The Mamluks, based in Egypt, defeated the Crusaders and took control. They maintained Islamic dominance and stabilized the region. Ottoman Period Ottoman Rule (1517 - 1917): The Ottoman Empire conquered the region. It was administered as part of the Damascus Eyalet and later the Jerusalem Sanjak. Relative autonomy for local communities under the millet system. British Mandate and the Creation of Israel British Mandate (1917 - 1948): Post-World War I, the League of Nations granted Britain the mandate over Palestine. The Balfour Declaration (1917) supported a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. Tensions rose between Jewish and Arab communities. United Nations Partition Plan (1947): Proposed a partition of the land into Jewish and Arab states. Accepted by Jewish leaders but rejected by Arab leaders. Establishment of Israel and Arab-Israeli Conflict (1948): Israel declared independence in 1948. This led to the first Arab-Israeli war. Significant Palestinian displacement (Nakba). Post-1948 Developments Further Conflicts: Numerous conflicts, including the 1967 Six-Day War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Peace Efforts and Ongoing Conflict: Attempts at peace, including the Oslo Accords (1990s), have seen limited success. The region remains a focal point of Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with issues like settlements, borders, and the status of Jerusalem unresolved. 21st Century Developments: Continued conflict and peace negotiations. International efforts to resolve the conflict, though a comprehensive peace agreement remains elusive.

    @@accrillia It's silly to bring ancient history into the discussion. Ancient history is irrelevant. The Zionist movement of the past 100 years is the primary cause of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The first official census in Palestine was conducted by the British authorities in 1922. A total population of 757,182 individuals was found, of whom 590,890 were Muslims, 83,794 were Jews, and 73,024 were Christians. Palestine should have been a Muslim-controlled country, but Zionist Jews from other countries flooded into Palestine. Zionists claim that Palestine was "a land with no people for a people with no land." That's a lie, of course. With the help of Britain, the US, and the UN, the Zionist Jews stole Palestine from the Muslims.

I, like millions of others, moved on from the GOP as an Obama-can in 2008. The ability in 2023 to hear alternate viewpoints, the truth, is refreshing. I realize by not voting for Biden in 2024 we risk an end to our so called American democracy and will put the future lives of my children and grandchildren in difficulty. But, I cannot participate in the genocide Biden green-lit by parking two aircraft carriers off the coast of Israel. I am sure there are millions of Americans waking up like me and my adult children. American democracy and foreign policy in its current form is not civil or obedient to international law. The murder of children, civilians in Gaza, the West Bank, sickens me. Thank you again for all your works.

    Dude leaves out that ALL the wars he mentions were started by the Palestinian side, including the initial conflicts started by Arab attacks on Jewish settlements in 1920, the Nakba was a result of the Arab blockade of Jerusalem (attacks on Jewish convoys, including one slaughter of 80 medical personnel), the 1967 war a result of a series of flagrant violations of the armistice signed in 1948 (including amassing a huge army on the border), Lebanon was a response to Palestinian refugees staging attacks from there (and the Palestinians were ethnically cleansing Christians in Lebanon), etc. He does admit that the First and Second Intifada were uprisings, while leaving out that they followed rejection of peace offers by the Palestinians. He mentions the Sabra and Shatila massacres, but doesn't say they were committed by Lebanese forces (the IDF is blamed for not stopping the massacres). In the Lebanese Civil War (where those massacres occurred), there were countless other massacres where the IDF wasn't present -- you hear nothing about those though, because they can't be blamed on Israel (it's a sure sign of antisemitism if you only care about bad things done by Jews, or in this case not stopped by Jews). Those tragedies represent only around 1,000 of the 100,000+ civilians killed in that war.

    Psalm 83 circa 800 BC KJV 83 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. 9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: 10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. 11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: 12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. 13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. 14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; 15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. 16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord. 17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: 18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth. ~~~~ And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.” Zechariah 12:3

    The word Zion occurs over 150 times in the Bible. It essentially means “fortification” and has the idea of being “raised up” as a “monument.” Zion is described both as the city of David and the city of God. As the Bible progresses, the word Zion expands in scope and takes on an additional, spiritual meaning.The word Zion is also used in a theological or spiritual sense in Scripture. In the Old Testament Zion refers figuratively to Israel as the people of God (Isaiah 60:14). In the New Testament, Zion refers to God’s spiritual kingdom. We have not come to Mount Sinai, says the apostle, but “to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem” (Hebrews 12:22). Peter, quoting Isaiah 28:16, refers to Christ as the Cornerstone of Zion: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame” (1 Peter 2:6).

    The attacks of 1920 were due to the influx of jewish immigrants into Palestine and subsequently the support of Weizmann by the british government with the balfour declaration. the Zionists resorted to clever politics. They realized the British had interests in taking control over Palestine. The Zionists offered help by providing men for their war and, significantly, when a Zionist chemist named Weizmann invented a new way to produce acetone, which dramatically increased the production of bombs. not only that but the zionist supporters would help fund the british in the time of war, Because the Jews helped the British with the creation of bombs, Balfour(British) promised a Jewish homeland.. The arabs knew they were being double dealt with from the start, there were large numbers of jews who came with the first and second aliyah's but the influx of Jewish immigrants into Palestine, encouraged by the Balfour Declaration and subsequent British policies, was a source of tension. Arab communities were concerned about the demographic and political implications of a growing Jewish population. The King-Crane commission submitted in August 1920, revealed that the majority of the local population in the surveyed areas opposed the idea of foreign mandates and expressed a preference for self-determination and independence. However, the recommendations of the King-Crane Commission were largely disregarded by the Allied powers at the time, and the League of Nations proceeded with the assignment of mandates as originally planned, The territories in question included modern-day Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine.

The presumptious, nefarious and characteristically racist role of the retreating British Empire as it ended its so-called « protectorate » in Palestine in 1948 but carving up the region into inevitably divisive and destabilizing enclaves without due regard for the millennial indigenous Palestinian Semite populations who had welcomed the Jewish refugees fleeing unimaginably traumatic genocide in Europe - whose leaders looked the other way as the atrocities unfolded.
