"Why is Gaza exceptional?" asks Scottish-Palestinian Dundee City councillor Nadia el-Nakla, who’s married to Scotland’s First Minister Humza Yousaf.
In this Real Talk interview, we sat down with el-Nakla in Edinburgh for a personal conversation on the fear and desperation her parents experienced while being trapped in #Gaza under Israeli bombardment.
She speaks on why an immediate ceasefire is needed to alleviate “the hopeless situation” in the besieged enclave, and also shares her childhood memories of Gaza.
We filmed this episode a day before el-Nakla’s parents were allowed to leave Gaza through the Rafah crossing.
#RealTalk is a Middle East Eye interview show hosted by Mohamed Hashem that delves into the stories and experiences of a diverse range of guests.

@polishnorwegianandspanish9145 5 месяцев назад

I think that everyone should have the same chance to live, prosper, educate himself/herself but if a group of people from one side turns into terrorists who butcher civilians of the other side, there is not any chance for reconciliation. I would be concerned if I was Scottish because what you have is a PM who used his position to promote the interest of his family more than the interest of the nation he was sworn to represent.

@dekelpolak4190 7 месяцев назад

Being Jewish means attaining the sensation of two contrasting forces in nature, the egoistic force, which is our human nature, and its opposite altruistic force, which is the force of nature itself. The attainment of these two forces define the people who, first under Abraham, developed this sensation of reality. They became known as the people of Israel, and later, as the Jews. At a certain point, around 2.000 years ago, we lost the sensation of the two forces and lived solely in the egoistic force. That is the meaning of being in exile. Exile has no geographic connotations, i.e. that we left some geographic Land of Israel and now we return to it. It is rather a matter of an inner exile, that we do not host the sensation of the altruistic nature, i.e. the quality of love, bestowal and connection, between us. When we fell from this sensation, we then entered our period of exile and ceased to exist as the people of Israel.

Thank you dekelpolak, whoever you are. That chimes with what a Jewish rabbi said a couple weeks ago. Jews covenant with God from 3,000 years ago was to live peacefully among every and any tribe they were born into. And never to egotistically ,,demand,, a State of their own. He says with the establishment of Israel. that Covenant was broken. And God ,,will bring down his wrath on the people of Israel,, .

Unfortunately the majority of izraelis are zionist and have no interest in the Palestinian people. There are, however, a few izraelis that are not zionist, but, they are, as mentioned, only a few. The political ideology of zionism is the main problem, though it seems that religion may be raising its head with netanyahu mentioning 'Amalek' recently - an ancient reference.
