#391 โ€“ Mohammed El-Kurd: Palestine

the lack of diversity on the Israeli political spectrum that makes the vision for a future so limited because those on what seems to be the far left are defending an extremely conservative institution that is the Supreme Court that they regard as progressive when in fact it is the opposite. So what do we do? How can we talk?

How can we have peace with people who are chanting to save the very body that is displacing us? It's ridiculous.

You know, as it looked like before the Israeli state emerged, I mean, we should be reading our history here. When you read like European and white Historians, they'll tell you Palestine was barren. Many of them would say it was even without a people. Nobody was there. Some of them will say we were uncivilized.

But the fact of the matter is Palestine, Jerusalem particularly, had a diversity of religion. Druze, Jewish people. My grandmother continues to talk about... Well, she continued until she died. She continued to talk about her Jewish... neighbors when she was born in the old city and then her Jewish neighbors in Haifa.

We even had one Jewish member of our family, M. Sammy actually, who just also recently passed away. Jews were a part of Palestine and they spoke Hebrew, a different kind of Hebrew, but they spoke Hebrew. People really need to read The Hundred Years War on Palestine. It's really an excellent synopsis of the history.

But this whole idea that this is some kind of war between two religions is so misleading, because what's happening is a bunch of, frankly, European settlers with a certain political secular ideology came and relocated here and turned it into a religious conflict between people who have lived harmoniously together for decades before that.

And the whole idea, be it Christian Zionism or John Hagee or the calls for Jews to leave the United States and relocate in Israel, or recently, which we've heard about a long time ago, But recently an Israeli historian confirmed the fact that Israeli organizations were bombing Baghdad and bombing synagogues in Iraq to get Iraqi Jews to leave and come relocate in Israel, right?

All of this is manufactured. And again, none of this is a conspiracy theory. I know it sounds absurd. And, you know, anytime I like look at my life from a bird's eye view, I think what a circus. But it's real and it's... It's verifiable, call the fact checkers.
