    These conversations are so important…. To get beyond the ‘stubborn’ fix positions will take another level of deep listening. … listening with heart-full intelligence….. that starts by really listening to each one’s actual experience and perspective… to hold multiple points of view with respect 💫

    This would be way more interesting if you added a technological level and embedded these interviews in social annotation tools like "Hypothesis". Thus the audience could add sentence-based reactions into the margins and make visible a plurality of perspectives which the speaker missed. But not as a mess, as strictly attached to just the passages they belong to. Instead we end up with someone just speaking their mind and a blob of undifferentiated noise as a response. This destroys both, plurality and depth. No matter how long the interview. As someone said about HD when it was introduced: "It's the same crap, you just see it better."

    Palestinians aren't fully Arab in fact vast majority of the Middle East is not 100% Arab they are mixed. An Arab is one that comes from Arabia which today we refer to as Saudi Arabia. Palestinians existed before Arabs came hence why you have Christian Palestinians which make up 15 to 20% of Palestine. Palestinians are Romans that occupied that land for over 2000 years, so they do have the claim to the land.

    What you are proposing is an easy, quick solution, like Hitler's solution - "the Jews are to blame for everything". I don't think religion is the problem, I think the choice people make is the problem. And I think that if we know how to choose the good, it will be good. If we know how to get out of ourselves, see the other, be truly good, do good deeds, if we know how to rise above our ego and look at the general good, do justice, stick to the truth, then there will be peace, real peace.

    @@hanna319 Religion is simply just a bad framework for epistemology. Its inherently tied to logical fallacies and a lack of critical thinking which produces objectively worse outcomes for the world because they are not rooted in any empirical form of truth. You are right that most of the time, the people in religion are the problem, but you have to understand that it is the religion that allows for people like that to exist and facilitates the creation of new individuals who operate without thinking critically. You could remove religion and the earth would be fine. You could not remove critical thinking and empirical epistemology without the world falling into chaos.

    @@CTrudo27 I respectfully disagree with your perspective. It seems you associate religion with a lack of critical thinking and epistemology. As an religious Jew, I can attest that many people I know in Israel, including religious Jews, possess strong critical thinking abilities. While there might be exceptions, I believe it's unfair to generalize. Regarding epistemology, I'm not entirely sure how it relates to religion. Epistemology pertains to the theory of knowledge and how we acquire it, and it applies to all forms of knowledge, not just religion, which is merely one aspect. To reiterate, my argument is that religion itself is not the issue. Rather, it's possible for individuals to misuse it or exploit their influence to incite harm and destruction. Even without religion, conflicts would still arise as people tend to find reasons to fight. I believe that the misuse of religion is a result of individuals' wrong choices. Criticizing religion itself instead of addressing the root cause means attacking the symptom rather than the underlying issue. Ultimately, the problem lies in humans making misguided choices.. But that's just my opinion.

    ​@@hanna319 The entire point of my argument is to reiterate your final point and agree with you, actually. The problem does lie in humans making misguided choices. What determines whether or not something is misguided? It comes down to their understanding of the world and that is predicated on assumptions about what even classifies as knowledge thus it is all centered on epistemology. It is important to reiterate that religion is based on a form of epistemology that is not empirically based and thus is essentially centered on subjective experience that cannot be replicated or studied in any objective fashion. This creates a cloud of ambiguity regarding truth and those ambiguities are what lead to the individuals making bad choices that you refer to. I can agree that the majority of religious inidividuals are not "bad" people, but I will wholeheartedly assert that religion being the dominant form of ethics and decision making over the last few millenia on earth means that it fosters an environment where individuals within that frarmework of thinking are able to justify bad actions due to the ambiguity within the framework itself. It is entirely possible for someone to selectively apply critical thinking in life, as I was previously religious and also know many individuals who are good critical thinkers, that are also religious. The issue is that this critical thinking is selectively applied and not centered on their religious beliefs themselves. That is why I feel confident in my assertion that one could essentially remove religious ideologies from the earth with little to no harm because anything worth keeping would remain accessible to us via critical thinking frameworks. So to reiterate and summarize. Religious individuals are not necessarily not critical thinkers or bad people - The error is that their method of epistemology sorrounding the basis for their moral and ethical decision making creates environments where we only selectively use critical thinking and this ambiguity is what leads to individuals being able to abuse power in the negative aspects we are thinking of. This is entirely negative for humanity as the majority of "ideas" religion seems to say they possess that are of critical important to humanity are nothing that could not be taught or arrived at with proper critical thinking and more empirical methods of epistemology.

Anyone would fight against that kind of injustice. No matter if it was Hindus vs atheist or Christian vs Muslim or capitalist vs communism.

The land was originally ruled by the Jordanians when the Israeli modern state took form, they then went and invaded multiple times along with the surrounding Arab nations each time they lost they also were beaten back. This isn't upbfor debate. Look at the original maps when the state was formed, then look post invasion. the second Israel was on its own and all foreign troops left Israel was invaded. Once the Arab nations lost do you think they paid any monetary punishment for their religious wars? And yet Israel still let's Palestinians rule themselves and for 70 years has tried to make peace.

    They have replaced the artillery with the judiciary, but the sovereign terms of reference is uncommon, therefore justice will not be served - Only continued punishing attrition and persecution. Thus Zion incurs defeat through self-betrayal - Through the murder of ancient and forgotten family members of itself. Why should the oppressed recognise and respect the profane obscenity of such terms. Before Israelis & Palestinians can forgive each other, they first need to recognise each other as children of the world's oldest human family. I pray & hope that their leaders & soldiers, young & old can open their eyes & hearts to such recognition, but we know the conflict is ingrained in their bones - So that is where their hearts need to turn. 🥝🐐✝

Ottoman and British records show very clearly that it was 19th and 20th century Jewish settlement and the resulting employment opportunities that drew successive waves of Arab immigrants to Palestine. Before the 6 Day War in 1967 when Jordan controlled the West Bank and Egypt ruled in Gaza, there was never any suggestion on the part of the "Palestinians" that they wanted independence in their ancestral homeland. The reason was that the "Palestinian" nation hadn't been invented yet.

    If only you would care a little about doing some research before writing nonsense, you would see that even after the migrations of Jews from Europe in the Ottoman times the arabs were always the majority. Building a colony even if economically prosperous is not ethical either.

    ​@@OmegaFares The Arabs were not the majority in Judea prior to the 7th century when they murdered, tortured, and raped their way across the Levant, forcing the local Jews and others to convert to Islam or die. Many fled. Let's talk about ethics indeed. What I wrote above has been verified by extensive research; it cannot truthfully be called nonsense. As for 'building a colony', the Muslim Arabs quite clearly originated in Arabia (modern day Saudi) and pillaged their way across EMEA. Today there are 50 Muslim countries and 1 Jewish country. Who's the colonizer?

    The Palestinian played the victim card, quite typically, he expressed an inability to get out of his limited box and look a little beyond. It's a shame you didn't challenge him with more difficult questions. You should have asked him: Who lived in the neighborhood before 1948... (hint, Jews) And then a follow-up question: If the Palestinians want the right to return to their pre-1948 home, why are they denying the same right to Jews? Regarding the "Nakba" you had to challenge him a bit, what is it, who is responsible for it, after all it happened during a war - who started this war, how is a country supposed to respond to being attacked from inside and outside??? what would HE do? And ask him if a country attacks another country, who is responsible for the consequences??, and then you would talk about the 5 Arab countries, with the support of the entire Arab and Muslim world that attacked Israel.. The consequences of the war resulted with hundreds of thousands of local Arabs who were displaced, but so were hundreds of thousands of Jews (Jews of the neighborhood of Shimon Hatzadik -Sheikh Jarach for example)!! Ask him why the Nakba describes suffering selectively, as if the Jews were enjoying themselves in heaven?! And I can go on... but it's just waste of my time Apart from adding hatred to Israel, nothing good will come out of this conversation. certainly not peace. It's a shame

    A fascist always uses the term "victim card". It's a distraction, the nazis did the same. Israelis have become what they claim to abhor. No one can take anything a genocidal regime says to stand for seriously. It's the actions on the ground, the indiscriminate killing and subjugation of people into prison camps is a tactic learnt from the nazi playbook. Applied to bloody effect in occupied territories.
