I can't understand why some feel the need to demean this woman. This isn't a statement on Islam or geopolitics, it's goddamned poetry about genocide. Surely we can all agree genocide is tragic regardless of background.
You are talking like a pure libtard. If she is doing the poetry about Genocide, then she must name "who" was behind the genocide. Read on wikipedia and you'll see the truth behind that evil head scarf.
And you're talking like a pitiful, sad, sad idiot. Honestly your inability to have ANY compassion or sympathy is so sickening. "Read on wikipedia" - no, get out of your damned house and educate yourself by talking to decent human beings.
Omg!! She made me laugh and cry at the same time!! She is sooo powerful and beautiful and strong!! I am glad to live in an era where technology allows us to witness the courage of these amazing people!!
Thank you, Emi. Your courageous sharing makes the pain and suffering real to those of us privileged to not have experienced it directly. If we are comfortable, we are not doing enough to stop this from happening over and over again.
isn't it strange that your only problem was that your heart was too big?! 😍 how do come up with words when some words just left you wordstruck? much love.
Beautiful. Thank you very much. Now, why so little people who view this (on my count only 3.796) I mean, half the world needs to experience this, well, at least one billion people.
Jeroen Heuvel I've never understood why, despite TED having so many subscribers, their videos get comparatively so few views. Sure, not everyone watches every video, but it still seems strange.
I applaude you Emtithal for sharing your journey of pain and resilience which makes us actually go on the journey with you my little sister....May God continue to give you the words to teach and tell and encourage 🖤🤎🖤🤎
something interesting is how a lot of immigrants are introduced to a culture that its not their making it the only culture they know. I mention this due to how she refers Monday mornings and how the emphasis is based on western culture when in Muslim countries the start if the week is in Sundays.
الوعد الكاذب H yes as he said, this is how I improved my English. well. I offered literature in my high school but before I gained interest in literature I watched mostly English old movies. mostly love stories( romance) because they involve. more talking than action, you follow a story and that improves your listening and your spoken… wish you luck with. your journey
dear امتثال محمود Had the world recognized the Armenian Genocide in 1915 (the first Genocide) perpetrated by the Ottoman Turks, all following Genocides would have been avoided and punished by international tribunals, including the Holocaust and Darfur and the ones yet to come. Each year, on the 24th of April, surviving Armenians and descendents commemorate this horrific act against Armenians hence all humans. 27 countries have already officially recognized the Arm. Genocide, the next can be yours.
Which one is the first Genocide of the 20th century? Research who invented the word Genocide and on which case it was used first. Was the Armenian Genocide a moral axiom for Hitler not to commit a Holocaust? Why did he boast that he could get away with murder based on the past example? If you are misinformed or a denialist do not disrespect 1.5M victims of systematic annihilation, that might really be true as you investigate. I am the third generation of survivors I do not need your evidence nor logic anyway. 27 countries have already officially recognized it.
We can go back before 1904 and find a more older example; but, nobody other than the inventor of the word knows it better how to use the term. He was a jew, Raphael Lemkin, who lived the concentration camps in Poland and used the term for Armenians first. We cannot talk on failure of prevention as long as recognition hence a legal military intervention was not formulated in an international watch-dog organization. Even if prevention fails recognition necessitates reparation the same way the Japanese did for China, Canada for its ethnic Asians, and Germany for both Poland and Israel. The Armenian archives are open to all, you are repeating the false Turkish version. History is written by the winner/perpetrator and it is easily falsified when real archives are in hold of the criminal. Armenians live today still in Turkey and peaceful activisits like Hrant Dink was shot dead from his back in broad daylight in Istanbul. Self-defence of a christian monirity against a crushing majority of muslims governed by a bunch of ultra-nationalistic masterminds is never betrayal per se. Not all the turks are criminals. Some Kurds were ignorantly involved too. German officials advised to prepare Turkey for a majority of Turks living in one state-nation; so Turks they ethnically cleansed all non-Turks like Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks, and even today they do so for the Kurds in a pan-Turanistic dream of 100% Turkic state-nation.
recognition, appology, reparation. this is the intention. We cannot stop you from killing your neighbor tonight but we can sue you for punishment and reparation. The same goes to masses. The fact of being well documented belittles the tragedy. And we don't want to go back to stone age mass eradications to prove priority. Grab this case and nourish it as a milestone it does not matter when we realize that it is evil. Killing one is crime, killing million is statistics?
TheEmadia What about the Tutsis and the Hutus? Did the world recognize it as a Genocide? Where is the precedent that would set a standard and call for immediate intervention and afterwards tribunals and appology and punishment leading to reparation? There is a timing for everything and it so happened that Lempkin and the Armenian Genocide were the right occasion to set an example. This does nor wipe off the African instances that had an unfortunate timing in history. An international court arrested many Young Turks and in the aftermath of the Armenian Genocide but because of politicization the convicts escaped; Tehlirian killed one of them in revenge and was set free by court.
TheEmadia Everybody knows everything, but many prefer to use the recognition of the Armenian Genocide as a political weapon against Turkey when times comes. Except for Latin American countries the motive of whom were purely humanitarian in favor or righteouseness as most of them recognized the Genocide. Do not overshadow the historical truth and blood of the innocent by an irrelevant disagreement of who is first, who chose what word etcetera... We cannot go back in time; but, eventually there will come the time of fair compensation.
in relation to individuals that debate Islam in aljazeera in england. they dont have an opinion in what its like to live in a muslim monarchy or dictatorship. they dont have the right.
She says her people were being attacked because of their race but that isn’t an accurate portrayal of the conflict. All the people in Darfur and Sudan are black and all of them are African. This applies to Omar al-Bashir and his government as well as the Janjaweed and SDF and the “Arab” tribes co-opted into the security services. The western media has falsely portrayed the conflicts in Sudan in racial terms that fit the “Arab vs African” narrative.
WWWOOOWWW That's sooooo amazing... It's like winning the lottery, while having a premium cigar and a bottle of top-notch single malt scotch, while getting a foot massage by one of those japanese experts, while driving down the autobahn at 320 km/h, while planting a flag at the peak of Everest... I can't believe you did it!!! You're amazing... Can I get your autograph???
