The speaker questions the existence of Israel's right to defend itself and argues that the Palestinians have a legal right to resist occupation. They highlight Israel's control over Gaza and argue that it is an occupied territory. The speaker criticizes the US for its actions in Syria and accuses both Israel and the US of disregarding international law. They condemn Israel's bombing of hospitals and claim that the US supports genocides. The speaker asserts that Western supremacy is being confronted in Gaza and accuses the West of wanting to maintain control. They argue that the West has a history of brutality and violence. The speaker concludes by suggesting that future generations will disavow the current generation's support for Israel.

I am an Israeli professor of Holocaust studies, and I believe what is happening in Gaza is genocide. The events following October 7th, which resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 people, shocked me. Israel's response led to thousands of civilian deaths in Gaza, and it took time for me to confront this reality. Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term genocide, described it as the deliberate destruction of a group. There is clear intent from Israeli leaders to annihilate Gaza, as evidenced by their rhetoric and actions. The result is mass casualties, destruction of infrastructure, and displacement of the population. We are witnessing the second phase of genocide, where areas are prepared for Israeli settlements. Denial of this reality is widespread, but we must acknowledge it. This is genocide, and silence is not an option.

All occupied people have the right to resist their occupation, but I do not support the military option in Palestine. Instead, I prefer civil insurrection and disobedience, which has been successful in the past. Israel's military superiority has caused devastation in Gaza. I condemn Hamas for targeting civilians, as it goes against Islamic principles. However, I also condemn Israel for indiscriminate bombing and arresting Palestinians. Both sides are at fault, and the violence needs to stop. I condemn Israel's actions of sealing Palestinian lands, destroying homes and olive orchards, and incarcerating Palestinians without due process. Western politicians show bias in their reactions to the conflict.

Speaker explains that Palestine is not new to many; October 7 highlighted a long history. Beginning with a post–World War II UN plan (1947) to create a Jewish state on part of Palestine, despite Palestinian non-participation. About 750,000 Palestinians were displaced as part of the partition. Palestinians call this the Nakba. Israel declared itself a state and pursued lands in the Arab-state zones; by 1967's Six Day War, it had seized the West Bank and Gaza, prompting UN calls to withdraw. In 1974 the UN recognized the PLO as Palestine's official government, while Israel funded groups to destabilize it. Intifadas followed (1987 and beyond); Oslo accords failed to stop occupation. Israel then funded Hamas; Gaza was blockaded; the West Bank built a barrier; movement restricted; starvation of Gazans for years. The speaker condemns the actions as genocide and urges ending U.S. support for Israel.

It's not about Netanyahu or the current government; it's about the asymmetry between Israel's military actions and Palestinian resistance. Palestinians have historically engaged in nonviolent resistance, but they face violence and oppression regardless. The solution isn't to seek peace with Israel but to dismantle the apartheid state and support a free, democratic Palestine with equal rights. Palestinian leadership has been decimated by Israeli actions. The military operation on October 7th was a significant achievement for Palestinians, despite the tragic consequences. The responsibility for the resulting civilian casualties lies with Israel, not the Palestinians. The focus should be on stopping the violence and addressing the humanitarian crisis, rather than debating legitimacy based on identity.

I was born in the heart of Hamas leadership and witnessed their disregard for Palestinian lives. I realized I couldn't support them if they became rulers and destroyed Israel. Now, after 25 years, they rule Gaza and we see their capabilities. Israel didn't start this war, Hamas did. We should encourage civilians to leave Gaza, cut the strip into two parts, and impose a solid siege to deplete and starve the enemy. We may need to consider using gas in the tunnels, but timing is crucial. After destroying the tunnels, we must remove Hamas from power and replace them with the Palestinian Authority, Egyptian government, or Arab League. Aid should only be considered once Gaza is free from Hamas. The Palestinian people just want a normal life, without missiles launched from populated areas. We can't convince protesters who support Hamas, but it's important to defeat this brutal terrorist organization.

Humanity has failed the Palestinians, stealing their land and subjecting them to blockades, poverty, and injustice. Despite the world's ignorance, their struggle for freedom continues. Palestinians have shown the world the truth about unfairness, lies, and puppet leaders. Resistance is their path to liberation in a world filled with horror.

Humanity has failed the Palestinians in many ways, stealing their land and subjecting them to blockades, poverty, and injustice. Despite the world now watching, Palestinians have shown that resistance is the path to freedom. They have exposed the unfairness of the world, the lies of human rights, and the puppetry of leaders. In a seemingly dead world, Palestinians stand as a symbol of resilience and hope.

We operate militarily within international law. The entire nation is responsible, not just civilians. Claims that civilians are unaware or uninvolved are false. They could have resisted the evil regime that took over Gaza, but we are at war. We fight to defend and protect our homes. We will continue fighting until we defeat our enemies.

Your Palestine pathway program includes two Israeli budget bills. If you truly support the Palestinian people's right to self-determination, how can you justify this? I come from Gaza, and it is a part of all of us. I apologize for expressing this, but I feel compelled to speak out. I am proud to be here and to discuss the ongoing situation in my city, which is unfolding every moment.

Since October 7th, we have been facing extermination, with bombings and killings in Gaza. The world is being lied to, as they claim to be targeting the parties but are actually killing innocent people, including children. We are desperate for help, as even the hospitals are being bombed and we are running out of resources like water and food. We are here to plead for protection and a chance to live in peace. We want justice for the killers, access to medicine, food, and education, just like any other children.

The people of Gaza broke the siege on October 7th, reclaiming their land and inspiring others worldwide. They have the right to self-defense, while Israel, as an occupying power, does not. Gaza's resilience and faith have transformed minds globally, regardless of religious beliefs. Those who misunderstood the situation underestimated the strength of the Gazans, who emerged victorious.

All occupied people have the right to resist, but I don't support military action in Palestine. Instead, I believe in civil insurrection and disobedience, which has worked in the past. Israel's military power is causing devastation in Gaza. I condemn Hamas for targeting civilians and giving Israel an excuse to ethnically cleanse Gaza. I also condemn Israel for indiscriminate bombing and arrests of Palestinians. Both sides are wrong. The American media calls it an unprovoked attack, but Israel has provoked Palestinians for decades. The violence must stop. I condemn Israel for sealing Palestinian lands, destroying homes, and incarcerating Palestinians without due process. There are no heroes, only victims.

Thank you for having me. While achieving total victory, which is ending the occupation and returning to our homeland, remains our ultimate goal, the recent confrontation with Israel marked a significant stride towards self-determination, freedom, and the right of return. The cost was immense, with over 50,000 registered deaths and thousands still under the rubble, but October 7th proved that Israel is defeatable. The international community's complicity, especially the West, prolonged our suffering. Palestinians seek nothing more than their rights under international law: an independent, sovereign state where they can live in dignity. Resistance is a legitimate tool for those under occupation, as recognized by international law.

I am here today to support the oppressed people and stand against the occupation. Israel, in my view, is a colonial apartheid genocidal state that does not represent Judaism. I was exploited when I was younger, living in Israel and learning the language. As I delved deeper, I realized the horror of this state exploiting our trauma from the Holocaust to oppress another people. They deserve the same rights as everyone else. I became aware of this in 2014 when I witnessed Israel's massacre in Gaza. Since then, I have separated my Jewish identity from this occupying fascist brutality. Today, I march with the Palestinians and support justice for all oppressed peoples. Thank you for speaking with me.

Israel wanted peace with the Arabic world since its existence. The PLO was founded in 1964 when the West Bank was in Jordan's hands and Gaza was in Egypt's, not because of occupation, but to eliminate Jews. Palestinians lost Gaza and the West Bank in 1967 because they preempted an attack against Israel. In 2000, Ehud Barak offered 97% of territories back, but it was refused. In 2005, Israel withdrew from Gaza, removing its people and even Jewish remains from cemeteries. Greenhouses exporting $50 million in flowers were left for Palestinians, but they destroyed synagogues and greenhouses. Hamas then had an election. A woman was elected to the cabinet of Hamas because she had videos of her sons dressing as suicide bombers. Hamas put Palestinians in a prison in Gaza. Gaza could have been Singapore, but instead, Hamas built tunnels instead of helping their people. Palestinians brought this on themselves.

We are operating militarily within the rules of international law. The idea that civilians in Gaza were unaware or uninvolved is false. They had the opportunity to rise up against the evil regime that took over Gaza, but instead, we are at war. We are defending and protecting our homes, and we will fight until we defeat our enemies.

Yesterday, there was incredible news as the Palestinian people demonstrated their right to resist. The heroes from Gaza broke down the border fence, emptied settlements, and shook the confidence of the occupiers. The media often portrays this war as starting only 48 hours ago, but we know it began 75 years ago when the British and Americans plotted to create Israel. The Palestinian people have been resisting for over 75 years.

Israel's statement claims that every person in Gaza is either a terrorist, terrorist sympathizer, or a human shield, justifying their killing. They argue that their actions are in accordance with international law, despite the deaths of over 11,350 people, including children, journalists, and UN staff. Israel's history of aggression and collective punishment is well-known to seasoned diplomats. They dismiss Israel's disinformation campaign and state that the world sees through it. Israel's intimidation tactics, including cutting off telecommunications and silencing critics, will not succeed. The Palestinian people refuse to disappear and will continue to call for accountability, respect for international law, and an end to the occupation and apartheid regime. This is not a religious conflict, but a fight for justice and peace. The use of the term "self-defense" to justify Israel's actions is questioned, as carpet bombing a densely populated area is seen as genocidal aggression, not self-defense.

What's happening in Palestine is not war, but dehumanization, genocide, and ethnic cleansing. People are defending themselves against this injustice. The US taxpayer funds this, adding to the frustration. Action is needed to stop this.

The people of Gaza broke the siege on October 7th, reclaiming their land and inspiring others around the world. They have the right to self-defense, while Israel, as an occupying power, does not. Gaza has transformed minds globally, regardless of religious beliefs. The people of Gaza have faith and are unafraid, knowing that their heaven is in Gaza and they will go to another heaven if they die. Those who felt sympathy for Gaza but misunderstood the situation were mistaken. The Gazans emerged victorious.

I was raised as an Orthodox Jew and a Zionist. My parents fled Poland and settled in Britain. The current Israeli government manipulates guilt to justify mistreatment of Palestinians. They prioritize Jewish lives over Palestinian lives. Military force won't solve this issue. Even after the fighting ends, there will still be millions of Palestinians suffering in Gaza and the West Bank. The Israeli government's conduct and policies are unacceptable. Our government should impose a complete arms ban on Israel. We need genuine peace, not conquest, which is the Israelis' unattainable goal. They are not just criminals, but also fools.

- On October 7, approximately 1,200 people were killed, with about 400 combatants and 800 civilians, according to the speaker who bases this on authoritative human rights reports (UN HRC Commission of Inquiry, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch). He notes that these organizations do not have perfect records but argues there is no compelling evidence that contradicts Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza being responsible for the majority of deaths, while there is no evidence that Israeli actions within Israel constituted a significant share of the total deaths. - The speaker contends there is no credible evidence of weaponized rape by Hamas on October 7. He discusses the UN Commission of Inquiry’s distinction between rape and sexual violence, and Pamela Patton’s report, which he says concluded there was no direct digital or photographic evidence of sexual violence on October 7, despite reviewing thousands of photographs and hundreds of hours of digital evidence. He argues the rape claim relies on assertions by observers and advocates rather than verifiable forensic or photographic proof. - Eyewitness testimony is challenged as being part of a pattern that could promote a narrative of Israeli moral exceptionalism; the speaker asserts that some eyewitness accounts “tell you Israel is the most moral army in the world” and notes that many such testimonies come from sources described as biased, with Israeli soldiers often embedded in a siege mentality. He suggests that Israeli society, with a citizen army and strong military culture, may have incentives to shape or repeat certain stories. - The speaker discusses Hamas’s planning and motives in the years leading to October 7, describing Gaza as an “inferno under the Israeli occupation.” He cites early 2000s characterizations of Gaza as a concentration camp by Israeli officials and UN/Human Rights reports, and notes the blockade and economic collapse. He explains that in 2023, Gaza was described by The Economist as a “rubber sheep” and by others as a toxic dump, with extremely high unemployment (60% of youth) and a deteriorating social fabric. The anticipated end of Gaza’s struggle was seen when Saudi Arabia joined the Abraham Accords, leading the speaker to say Gaza’s fate was sealed. - The discussion on Hamas’s shift to violence notes Hamas had previously tried diplomacy, international law (including cooperation with human rights organizations after Operation Cast Lead and Operation Protective Edge), and even nonviolent strategies like the Great March of Return (endorsed by Hamas). The UN report on the March of Return found demonstrators overwhelmingly nonviolent, while Israel was accused of targeting civilians. The speaker argues Hamas pursued multiple avenues but faced a harsh blockade and a failing prospect of improvement. - Regarding the broader regional context, the speaker asserts that the West Bank and Gaza have different trajectories; Egypt and Jordan are seen as neutralizing or stabilizing forces, while the West Bank’s situation is contrasted with Gaza’s harsher conditions. He argues that the goal in places like Egypt is to neutralize, whereas Israel’s policy toward Gaza is described as cleansing or subjugation, a distinction he says differentiates regional dynamics. - The speaker critiques the UN Security Council’s handling of Gaza, describing a 2023 resolution (UNSC Resolution 2803) that endorses the Trump peace plan and creates a “board of peace” with sovereign powers in Gaza, headed by Donald Trump, and notes that no external body supervises this board beyond a quarterly report to the Security Council. He claims this arrangement renders Gaza effectively under a transitional administration, with reconstruction timelines alarmingly long (fifty to eighty years to rebuild) and a minimal chance of Israel withdrawing from the green zone. - He argues that after October 7, the board’s governance path, the Trump plan, and Arab states’ support for the resolution collectively resulted in Gaza’s “death warrant,” with reconstruction hampered by deliberate destruction and political arrangements that preclude meaningful self-determination or statehood for Gaza. - On international reactions, the speaker notes varying support for Gaza among Arab nations and emphasizes that some regional actors (including Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, and others) endorsed handing Gaza to Trump; he accuses these states of compromising Gaza’s future for broader geopolitical aims and accuses several of “slavery and subservience” to such outcomes. - The concluding portion covers Gaza’s future: the speaker reiterates that Gaza has effectively been made unlivable, with rubble and toxic contamination delaying any reconstruction for decades, and he maintains that the path to a two-state solution remains contested, with the Trump-led framework limiting Palestinian rights and self-determination. He indicates he has just completed a book on UN corruption and the Security Council’s role in Gaza, titled Gaza’s Gravediggers, and suggests that the UN declaration of war on Gaza nullifies international law regarding self-determination.

The situation is not about Netanyahu or the current government; it's about the ongoing oppression of Palestinians by a powerful Israeli state. Historically, most Palestinian resistance has been nonviolent, but it has led to violence against them. Palestinians are being killed regardless of their actions. A realistic solution involves dismantling the apartheid state and supporting a free, democratic Palestine with equal rights. Palestinian leadership is largely absent due to Israeli actions. The military operation on October 7 showed significant Palestinian capability, but the resulting Israeli violence against civilians is not their responsibility. The immense suffering in Gaza is due to Israel's actions, not the Palestinians' attempts to resist. The focus should be on stopping the violence rather than debating past events.

On October 7th, a daring military operation by Gaza resistance fighters exposed the truth that Israel has been trying to cover up. They successfully attacked Israeli military sites, destroyed defense systems, and took hostages. This humiliating defeat has caused a political crisis in Israel and reawakened the spirit of resistance among Palestinians. Israel's brutal response, including collective punishment and propaganda, shows their desperation to maintain the illusion of power. However, global support for Palestine is growing, with millions marching and political leaders changing their tune. This is an opportunity to apply pressure and break the system of Israeli occupation. The call is for sustained peaceful protests worldwide until the issue is addressed.
