Avi is a clinical psychopath, just like Mohamed

But very naive

@@davidatrakchi2707 and absolutely psychopathic too

He is teaching you how not to be naive ​@@davidatrakchi2707

In most Muslim countries you get the death penalty for being an apostate or insulting Muhammad Or being openly gay The Islamic world is not tolerant

Most of the problems in the Middle East are caused by almighty god, everyone claims to own him and the absolute truth

Did you listen to what he said?

1:02:30 Money? Collective lunacy? Manipulation of the masses? We could go on, and on...

You can take the man out of the Arab but you can't take the Arab out of the man.

We’ve all been colonised

This wonderful man is looked up to as a beacon of humanity. Having grown up in SA during the worst years of Apartheid and Zionist indoctrination I am thankful that my elderly pain has a voice …… merci Professor Shlaim.

@@jennyhirschowitz1999 No, he is just another person dealing with their particular trauma. Stop Idol worship.

What a wonderful human being! There truly would be peace in the world if we could all have leaders like him.

Since European converts to Judaism, moved to the part of Palestinian territory, purchased by the Rothschild family from Britain in 1930-es. The genocide started in 1948, with the colonizing empires gladly financing blood shed in order to profit financially!

Christianity, Judaism and Islam is an Arabics/middleast religions origin.

Yes indeed and it PROVES that we can go back to this way of acceptance and respect. As long as we all live according to a moral universal code (which we ALL know) and respect each other - we can have different beliefs about things and still live in harmony. We HAVE to strive for that.

It's lies, search Safed massacre 1834 and see the truth

An got rid of the psychopath idiots like Netaniahou the CORRUPT POLITICIAN, WHO KILLS PALESTINIANS BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT THE DAY THE WAR WILL BE OVER, HE WILL BE JUDGED AND SENT TO PRISON FOR LIFE, ON TOP OF THE GENOCIDE.

Yes, but did you listen to what he said?

???

​@@paulheydarian1281Another troll paid by Israel.

In the middle of the 19th century, J. J. Benjamin wrote of Persian Jews: "…they are obliged to live in a separate part of town…; for they are considered as unclean creatures… Under the pretext of their being unclean, they are treated with the greatest severity and should they enter a street, inhabited by Mussulmans, they are pelted by the boys and mobs with stones and dirt… For the same reason, they are prohibited to go out when it rains; for it is said the rain would wash dirt off them, which would sully the feet of the Mussulmans… If a Jew is recognized as such in the streets, he is subjected to the greatest insults. The passers-by spit in his face, and sometimes beat him… unmercifully… If a Jew enters a shop for anything, he is forbidden to inspect the goods… Should his hand incautiously touch the goods, he must take them at any price the seller chooses to ask for them... Sometimes the Persians intrude into the dwellings of the Jews and take possession of whatever please them. Should the owner make the least opposition in defense of his property, he incurs the danger of atoning for it with his life... If... a Jew shows himself in the street during the three days of the Katel (Muharram)…, he is sure to be murdered."[27]

Sounds like badly spoken propaganda.

@@contact594Iraq is not Persia

Read some history. The arab Nazis in Iraq attacked attacked and murdered jews. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farhud

@@contact594that’s Persian Jews, not Iraqi Jews, what is the relevance?

Yes. A rarity, really.

Agree wholeheartedly. My second time listening to him. Prof Shlaim is a treasure.

Excerpt from Letter from Einstein to Jawaharal Nehru 13-Jun-1947 "Long before the emergence of Hitler, I made the cause of Zionism mine because through it I saw a means of correcting a flagrant wrong. I refer to the peculiar disability suffered by the Jewish people by which they were deprived of the opportunity to live on the same basis as other peoples. The bigotry of the chauvinists and racists, whose doctrines have brought so much evil to mankind, has always been alien to me. Were the vision of an international society, a true parliament of man, ever to be realized, I venture to say I should be among its most sympathetic supporters. But even in the interests of this ultimate ideal, the preliminary steps are surely the removal of the stigma of inferiority from every group and people in the world. The Jewish people alone has for centuries been in the anomalous position of being victimized and hounded as as people, though bereft of all the rights and protections which even the smallest people normally has. Jews have been persecuted as individuals; the Jewish people has been unable to develop fruitfully as a cultural and ethnic group. The spirit of the people as well as the bodies of its members have been assailed. Zionism offered the means of ending this discrimination. Through the return to the land to which they were bound by close historic ties, and, since the dispersion, hallowed in their daily prayers, Jews sought to abolish their pariah status among peoples. The Advent of Hitler underscored with a savage logic all the disastrous implications contained in the abnormal situation in which Jews found themselves. Millions of Jews perished not only because they were caught in the Nazi murder machine but also because there was no spot on the globe where they could find sanctuary. I need not remind you what the Nazi extermination program cost my people, nor of the tragic plight of the survivors. India, I am sure, mourned not only for six million men, women and children killed in gas-chambers and crematoriums, but also for a civilization which permitted this horror to take place. And I believe that wherever men dream of justice and struggle for its presence, the cry of those who escaped from the Nazi charnel-house must be heard. The Jewish survivors demand the right to dwell amid brothers, on the soil of their fathers. Their need is so desperate, their longing so natural that it is superfluous to elaborate the point. There is, however, a legitimate and relevant question which must be answered. Can Jewish need, no matter how acute, be met without the infringement of the vital rights of others? My answer is in the affirmative. One of the most extraordinary features of the Jewish rebuilding of Palestine is that the influx of Jewish pioneers has resulted not in the displacement and impoverishment of the local Arab population, but in its phenomenal increase and greater prosperity." PM of the Indian Govt, New Delhi, India

But it is impossible, right?

Read some history. The arab Nazis in Iraq attacked attacked and murdered jews. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farhud

Why were the Jews expelled from England in 1290? know the history

They did, since June 1941 in the event known as Farhood when Muslims attacked their Jewish neighbors killing, burning , raping and doing all the things islamists are raised upon. Jews had the brains to leave that coursed country, they flourished in Israel and since than Iraq is coursed....without any hope

Yes, there wasn't a Jewish problem anywhere in the near east and north Africa. Even in Palestine Jewish population self identify that way. It's Z1onism and the Ashkanazi Jews that were and are the problem. Prof. Avi is not the first Arab Jew to bring this up. 1Sreal was manufactured just like modern Herbrew and it's history.

@@Noncon4formist Most of the jews in Israel are from arab countries, where they were ethnically cleansed. The arabs and their racism is the problem.

Like in Iraq today .. no Jews there now in 141 bagdad was 40% jewish

@@charlescaplan6168 That is going back a while. 141BCE or 141 CE?

My mistake 1941

@@charlescaplan6168 I am unsure of your point.

@@Jean-rg4sp the Palestinian position is ror ie control of Israeli immigration to get a Palestinian majority. In Israel over and above any land concessions BUT in all Islamic majority countries bathe Jewish population either all left or was drastically reduced

What exactly is Jewish intelligence?🤔 Is there Christian intelligence? Is there Hindoo or Muslim intelligence?🤔

WIKI has an entire page of Muslims massacring Jews for centuries, conveniently ignored...

That will be done when a church and synagogue and temple stand in Mecca and Medina. Islam allows for itself but is intolerant of others, and Judaism Christianity and Buddhism are far older than it ! Try to think of a group of Arabs for two thousand years in, say, Brazil. They might still be Muslim but they would have Native American DNA. Just like Sunni Shia are both Muslim, so we are all Jewish... Ashkenazi, Sephardi and Mizrahi. Why deny Jews a state of our own ? Do you see Muslims dividing their capital cities ? You play the racist game - for shame ! Indonesians are Muslim but not Arab ...so your argument falls flat ! Jews, like Arabs, come in all colours ! Even Zuheir Mohsen of the PLO stated: "The Palestinian people does not exist … there is no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese", though Palestinian identity would be emphasised for political reasons. In a March 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw he stated that "between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese there are no differences. We are all part of one people, the Arab nation [...] Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity. Because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons"... So ultimately, it's a religious issue : It rankles the Arab world that a successful Jewish state exists in their midst.

"the fabled Temple of Solomon" that's the problem right there...denying Jewish connection

Palestine is the land of Israel Fyi. All the people who were living there migrated from other Arab countries also Fyi

There's more to the Ashkenazi's Khazarian lineage than what's apparent, but it's tad bit too much for a RU-vid reply. But to believe that the same ethnographic population was excommunicated from 109 different jurisdictions & municipalities over a 1000 year period based on nothing else but bigoted hatred and gossip seems, uh, rather delusional.

​@@Krusted Its that 1000 years of continual discrimination, expulsions and pogroms throughout Europe that is based on a DELUSION. Just like the more recent expulsion of 850,000 Jews from the muslim countries of the Middle East and North Africa after 1948. And that same delusional hatred appears to be expressed by you. By making false claims the Jewish people are descended from the Khazars despite irrefutable genetic evidence to the contrary.

Of course the Arabs had a Jewish problem. How else do you explain 850,000 Mizrahi Jews being ethnically cleansed from the muslim countries of the Middle East and North Africa after 1948? Less than 1% remain in those countries today. Thats how effective the Arabs were!

Now Arabs have a huge Jewish problem.

Sure, if you ignore all the pogroms Jews suffered under Muslim rule.
