Kishore Mahbubani, distinguished fellow at the National University of Singapore's Asia Research Institute, discusses the war in Gaza and says there's "a gap between global public opinion and American public opinion."

Read history and examine issues involved. Palestine was a name given by British in 1920 to territory now consisting of parts of Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Israel, Gaza, west bank. They declared that in it they will also constitute an Arab state and a Jewish state. In 1947 UN proposed a Partition plan which was accepted by the Jews but not by the Arabs. the Partition plan ,Muslim majority areas were for Arab state and Jewish majority areas plus Negev desert for state of Israel. Palestine as a State was first talked about by PLO in 1960s. In 1947 west Bank was absorbed by Jordan and Gaza by Egypt. Alphabet ''p'' doesn't exist in Arabic language, therefore, Palestine as a name could not have been Arabic!

Disappointed with Kishore opening remark.
❤ i have RESPECTED Kishore for many years HOWEVER on the PALESTINIAN question and GENOCIDAL BEHAVIOUR he DOESN'T get it.
Its a shame for Mahbubani to say he is " Friend of Israel ". There is no justification for butchering of children and women in Ghaza regardless of what religion those innocent victims followed. If this man wants to be part of that slaughtering then he lost the credibility of an independent expert on Geopolitics.
Very disappointed Kishore today with your comments, Israel is committing a genocide live on tv , not once did you utter these words to condemn the murderous and genocidal state
Kishore is just as muddlheaded and as complicit in manufacturing consent as far as the interview in this video clip goes. Where's the believability?
what China has to do with Gaza war?
You are not a diplomat anymore Kishore.. you didn't need to kiss Israel's ass with the whole "I'm a friend of Israel and Israel has right to defend itself" disclaimer before you actually spoke the truth. I guess Kishore still has to sell books in USA and the West and be invited onto talk shows in the West. disappointing. There is a difference between being polite and ass kissing and protecting your own moneyed interests at the expense of Palestinian lives. Kishore as a public speaker has responsibility to speak the truth and call out Israel in the strongest terms possible in order to save Palestinian lives. If even one life is saved or even one child starves for one day less, then he should have done it.

The downfall of American Empire
As per the Columbia Daily Spectator, the student newspaper of the university, on April 23, Columbia College passed a divestment referendum by a large margin. The referendum asked students whether the university should divest financially from Israel, cancel the Tel Aviv Global Center, and end Columbia's dual degree programme with the Tel Aviv University. The first question passed with 76.55% of voters in favour, while the latter two garnered 68.36% and 65.62% support, respectively.

It not only dented the US public standing, it showed to the whole world, that the constant babbling of a rule based order by the US is nothing but hot air. I dont know if somebody in the US even took notice but within 1 month the US showed everyone that they no longer adhere to Common Law (suspend contracts unilaterally), International Law (by denying an attack on an embassy to be an act of war) and the UN Charta (by declaring a UN resolution as non binding). Add to that the constant braking of its promises and you realize that the US is simply not trustworthy anymore to every country on the planet. The US has followed Israel blindly into the world's garbage bin...

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The founding dean of a prominent Singapore school said on Monday he was stepping down, four months after he stirred a heated debate in the city-state with the comment that small countries like Singapore must "always behave like small states". Kishore Mahbubani, a long-time diplomat and the wealthy city-state's former envoy to the United Nations, said he had written to the board of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy saying he would step down as dean at the end of the year.
Stopping the war on terror and having the best interests for Israel is a total enigma and against America’s attitude towards their own position on what Israel has suffered.On their doorstep.
Quick to cover ‘ I speak as a friend of Israel .. ‘ Is he not a friend of humanity? what is he afraid of?
Friend of Israel!! You show your moral colours.
The Gaza war didn’t dent US image. Just made it more clear.
NO MORE MUSLIM LEADERS TALKING TAKE MILITARY ACTION OR MOVE TO ISRAEL WITH YOUR FRIENDS
A lot of people seem to have tuned out as soon as Mahbubani said he was a "friend of Israel." But Mahbubani has been pointing out the enormous damage that Western/American hypocrisy on Palestine has done to the West for years. He is very conscious of the rights of the Palestinians and has talked about it in the past. He is just being diplomatic.
Kishore is compensated by Chinese entities for discreetly advocating on their behalf while disparaging the United States. His messaging necessitates vigilant scrutiny to discern its underlying intentions and implications.
