0:00so I'm sadly very aware of the fact that
0:01most of you do not come to the
0:03conclusions that you hold about things
0:05based on anything more than who's saying
0:07it and people are going to just agree
0:09with Hassan paker because they like him
0:12and they have fallen for the aura that
0:14he espouses of him being some sort of
0:16like unique special radical who's doing
0:18something extremely awesome and
0:20important so you're just going to have a
0:21predetermined conclusion coming in here
0:23that I must defend Hassan paker no
0:25matter what and you will not be
0:26receptive to anything that does not
0:28include like a disclaimer at the end of
0:30every sentence talking about how awesome
0:32Hassan perer is but that's not going to
0:34happen here you aren't going to be CED
0:35like a child so I suggest you just leave
0:37now either way Hassan paker spreads the
0:40ideology of Jewish exceptionalism
0:43constantly he leads people away from
0:45correctly assessing what needs to be
0:46done regarding Israel Palestine and
0:48ultimately serves to uphold liberal
0:50Zionism in doing so helping to ensure
0:53that the problems continue and that if
0:55some sort of solution ever actually
0:58materializes it will be one that abides
1:00by Zionist terms now I've already
1:02covered this in a ton of depth before in
1:05this video on my main Channel Jewish
1:07exceptionalism liberal Zionism Jewish
1:09Supremacy how you inadvertedly support
1:11Israel in this video I use Owen Jones as
1:13the primary example of this but make no
1:15mistake this could have been Hanan P
1:17quite easily now it would have been a
1:19bit harder to use as as an example
1:21because he's never said anything quite
1:22as obviously stupid and as obviously
1:24supportive of Zionism as Owen Jones has
1:27but make no mistake he still upholds the
1:29this same Jewish exceptionalist ideology
1:32that as I show in this video helps to
1:34uphold liberal Zionism and nus Jewish
1:36Supremacy in Israel so you should just
1:38go and watch this video you should just
1:40go and watch this video if you actually
1:42give a shit about anything here you
1:44pause right now and you just go or you
1:45just close this video honestly who gives
1:47a shit about Hassan perer and you go and
1:49watch this video because you'll be able
1:51to correctly identify the sort of stuff
1:53that I'm going to be talking about here
1:55in what Hassan perer does yourself
1:58without needing me to point it out to
1:59you if you just watch this video I am
2:01going to play the relevant parts of this
2:04video right here and then I'm going to
2:06explain precisely how Hassan perer does
2:09precisely what I was talking about here
2:11it's going to be fairly long but it's
2:12very important cuz if I don't play this
2:15I would just end up explaining this to
2:16you here in a much less structured way
2:18than the way that this video explains it
2:20because the alternative is that I would
2:23try to give you the cliff notes of this
2:24just off the top of my head rather than
2:27showing you in a more structured way
2:29when I already done the ladder before in
2:31this video and I'd rather do it
2:33correctly than potentially make some
2:35sort of mistake or leave something out
2:37so here we go watch all 17 minutes of
2:40this right here with me there is a
2:42pervasive ideology in Western countries
2:44that is core to enabling their support
2:46of Israel you've likely felt it though
2:48perhaps without actually consciously
2:49perceiving it this ideology is the
2:51Bedrock through which anything
2:53resembling actually effective Action
2:55Against The crucial Western backing for
2:56the state of Israel is nipped in the bud
2:58long before it can even really get close
3:00to getting anywhere it enforces a narrow
3:02spectrum of acceptable anti-israel
3:04discourse excluding from the majority of
3:06the public sphere anything that runs
3:08counter to Israel's underlying Jewish
3:10supremacist ideological framework known
3:12as Zionism and it's so successful in
3:14this role that it even often leads
3:16genuinely well-meaning people who want
3:18to be Pro Palestinian into upholding
3:20what are ultimately Zionist positions it
3:22also even leads them into attacking
3:24others who do hold anti-zionist
3:26positions with smears of anti-Semitism
3:28creating a cycle where large parts of
3:30the pro Palestinian movement spend time
3:31and effort on obediently policing
3:33themselves into complete impotency this
3:35ideology is not often noticed let alone
3:38actually talked about so it doesn't have
3:39a commonly used name so allow me to coin
3:41one Jewish exceptionalism this term can
3:43be understood literally it's the idea
3:45that Israel and its underpinning Zionist
3:47ideology are uniquely Justified because
3:50they are conceived of as being Jewish
3:51Jews are considered by this Jewish
3:53exceptionalist framework to be a special
3:55group of people one that is practically
3:57innately oppressed and this supposed
3:59innate oppress is used to spread the
4:01notion that Israel as the self-described
4:03Jewish State needs to be given a special
4:05exception from standards otherwise
4:07widely accepted as normal this has
4:09become something of a taken for granted
4:11Common Sense notion in many Western
4:13countries basically like the sun rising
4:14in the morning and once you really start
4:16perceiving it and thinking about it you
4:17see it everywhere this video is going to
4:19be dissecting this idea of Jewish
4:21exceptionalism explaining how it
4:23manifests how it functions and why going
4:25over a number of different examples to
4:26do so so let's begin here with some
4:28general examples of what we're talking
4:30about to help you get a grasp on it
4:32usually a country founded in living
4:34memory on the mass expulsion and killing
4:36of most of the prior population would be
4:38considered quite illegitimate and the
4:40victims of this barbarity widely
4:42supported in their pursuit of justice
4:43and restitution yet in the west Israel's
4:46founding is instead often framed as an
4:48act of self-determination of Liberation
4:50and even of Justice reality is reversed
4:53with the victims of this framed as evil
4:55and anti-semitic themselves for daring
4:57to continue to lay claim to what's been
4:59from them simply because their
5:01victimizers happen to be Jewish the idea
5:03that any other country should
5:04specifically be run for the benefit of
5:06one single racial or ethnic group what
5:08is known as an ethnostate would normally
5:10cause revulsion among many but for
5:11Israel this is framed entirely
5:13differently as both Justified and a
5:15necessity something that is usually just
5:16totally unquestioned and you'd expect
5:18that Decades of brutal occupation of
5:20millions of people which is so clear as
5:21day and obvious that even Israel's own
5:23allies have been forced to admit that
5:25it's an occupier a at least in part
5:26would usually be talked about bluntly
5:28matter of factly succinctly without
5:30mincing words and it would be normal to
5:32frame those who fight against this as
5:34being in the right and yet those who
5:35fight back against Israel are actually
5:37instead denounced in the west regardless
5:39of the actual circumstances and even
5:41mild acknowledgement of what Israel does
5:42to its victims is commonly prefaced with
5:44a flurry of ritualistically repeated
5:46phrases like denouncing anti-Semitism
5:48affirming that the Israeli occupy state
5:50has a right to exist and a right to
5:52defend itself and outright denouncing
5:54those who resist it there's also more
5:55subtle ways in which this Jewish
5:57exceptionalism manifests for example the
5:59way the Pro Palestinian movement itself
6:01often feels obliged to seek approval
6:03from Jewish people and tends to put its
6:04Jewish members on a pedestal going to
6:06pains toat to them this is a practice
6:08that would make absolutely no sense
6:10outside of the framework of Jewish
6:11exceptionalism since it's otherwise
6:13completely nonsensical to seek approval
6:14and validation to denounce an ethnostate
6:16from people who happen to be from the
6:18dominant ethnic group of said
6:19ethnostates similarly arguments are
6:20often had about what percentage of
6:22Jewish people worldwide a zionists and
6:24support Israel as if to say that whether
6:25Zionism and Israel are acceptable or not
6:28depends on what people who are of the
6:29group that Zionism exists to benefit
6:31think of it it's only due to Jewish
6:33exceptionalism that arguments like this
6:35can seem reasonable rather than insane
6:37as the reality is that even if every
6:39single Jewish person was a Zionist it
6:40would still be a fundamentally abhorent
6:42ideology once you remove that element
6:44the argument makes about as much sense
6:45as going back to Germany in 1940 and
6:47saying that Nazism was legitimate
6:49because a majority of Germans supported
6:51it you know you'd think that it would
6:52make more sense to pull the victims
6:53rather than the potential beneficiaries
6:55those are just some of the examples of
6:57how this manifests the fundamental
6:58Bedrock of all of those examples is the
7:00assumption that Israel must be conceived
7:02of differently and be considered a
7:03special exception to normal standards
7:05because its majority Jewish and
7:06throughout this video we're going to be
7:08going over and dissecting many more
7:10examples that are much more specific
7:11than those but suffice to say this
7:13heavily limits how we talk about Israel
7:15and ultimately serves to lead people
7:17away from understanding the meat and
7:18bones of why Israel is how it is and the
7:20root causes of the things that it does
7:21which in turn prevents us from even
7:23thinking about fighting against it as
7:25effectively as possible and that's
7:26precisely why Jewish exceptionalism is
7:28enforced Jewish exception ism is spread
7:30and used by the Western media Western
7:32governments NOS lobbying groups
7:34activists and other such allies to
7:36enforce so-called liberal or left
7:38Zionism as the allowed mainstream limit
7:40of respectable left-leaning opinion on
7:43the Israel Palestine issue these liberal
7:45Zionist positions are then presented by
7:47them as actually being pro Palestinian
7:49and any notion that this may not
7:51actually be the case is kept as far out
7:52of frame as possible this in turn
7:54ensures that the ideology of Jewish
7:56Supremacy that is inherent to Zionism
7:58can continue in the land of Palestine
8:00because liberal or left Zionism is still
8:02Zionism so it's still completely on
8:04board with the Jewish supremacist
8:05fundamentals of the Israeli
8:06ethnonationalist projects which are the
8:08entire root of the problem I need a
8:10quicker aside here to explain what
8:11liberal Zionism and left Zionism are
8:13before moving on and I'll be going into
8:14further depth on this later as well
8:16these ideologies that seek to blend
8:18supposedly liberal or left-wing
8:20principles with Zionism but that means
8:22that they still fundamentally believe in
8:23the innately repressive and unjust
8:25founding tenants of Zionism in the state
8:27of Israel namely that it should and must
8:29be estate that exists to benefit those
8:31it considers Jewish over others and that
8:33it thus must give special privileges to
8:34those considered to be a part of that
8:35group and that it must take active
8:37measures to ensure that it maintains a
8:39sizable Jewish ethnic majority as a
8:40matter of official policy regardless of
8:42who else is harmed by this this is an
8:44innately genocidal ideology given that
8:46it requires that the previous Society be
8:48practically erased in order for it to be
8:50implemented but liberal and left
8:51zionists feel kind of bad about the fact
8:53that their ethnic supremacist Ambitions
8:55necessarily come at the expense of
8:56Palestinians who had to be expelled and
8:58murdered on mass to enable the this
8:59project to exist and since these victims
9:01have refused to go quietly refusing to
9:03renounce their claim to their Homeland
9:04and continuing to fight back against
9:06Israel Israel has also needed to keep
9:08oppressing them so that its
9:09ethnonationalist project can continue so
9:11liberal and left zionists attempt to
9:12assage the guilt they feel for this by
9:14advocating for marginally better
9:15treatment of Palestinians but only
9:16within the heavily limited confines that
9:18their overarching Zionist belief system
9:20allows them it's also very common that
9:22their main point of opposition to this
9:23is actually that they think it's bad for
9:25Israel not necessarily that they think
9:26it hurts Palestinians so they may
9:28believe that the worst imp forces of
9:29Israel like its expansion into the West
9:31Bank or its attacks on Gaza are unjust
9:33but they are certainly not for
9:34addressing the actual root of the
9:35problem of Palestinian oppression which
9:36causes such actions in the first place
9:38the fact that a state fundamentally
9:40built on land fft and the subsequent
9:41exclusion of the prior population run by
9:43and for one group of people at the
9:45expense of another is never going to be
9:47anything but repulsive and unacceptable
9:48so liberal zionists despite sometimes
9:50appearing as allies still seek to
9:52maintain the systems that are the Crux
9:54of the problem of the Palestinian
9:55question though this can be harder to
9:56notice than it is with open and honest
9:58Zionist since they tend to mask it
10:00behind softer rhetoric this makes
10:01liberal zionists some of the most
10:03dangerous enemies of the struggle for
10:04justice for Palestinians because more
10:06outright and open zionists are a lot
10:08easier to notice and fight against as
10:09they proudly announce Jewish Supremacy
10:11as their ultimate goal but liberal
10:12zionists are something of a wolf and
10:13sheep's clothing as they hide their
10:15pursuit of very similar aims behind a
10:17fin coat of humanitarian paint so you
10:19need to already be somewhat intimately
10:21familiar with the Palestinian cause
10:22before you are knowledgeable enough to
10:24be able to see through the fenir of
10:25empathy and identify liberal and left
10:27zionists as the enemies who they
10:28actually are which results in many
10:30well-meaning potentially Pro Palestinian
10:32people being duped by them stuff like
10:34saying occupation is bad and the IDF
10:36goes too far in Gaza are very
10:37entry-level positions easy to understand
10:39and digest those acts are obviously
10:41unacceptable they hurt people they
10:43shouldn't happen but understanding why
10:45those things happen and thus being able
10:46to actually effectively Advocate against
10:48them requires a real anti-zionist
10:51anti-colonial framework that elucidates
10:53the source of the problem and that's how
10:54liberal and left zionists lead people
10:56astray because many of them are okay
10:57with proclaiming their opposition to
10:59Israel's worst actions which can on the
11:00surface make them seem like allies but
11:03they very much support and work to
11:04maintain the root causes of said actions
11:06and that's precisely why they are
11:08painted as actually being pro
11:09Palestinian in the mainstream to funnel
11:11potential Pro Palestinian energy into an
11:12ideology that in reality is very much
11:15pro-israel and thus anti- Palestinian
11:17exposing people to actual Pro
11:19Palestinian ideas with any regularity
11:20would risk getting them too close to
11:22diagnosing the actual problem which
11:24eventually could potentially compromise
11:25Western support of Israel and they can't
11:27have that in short the idea is to limit
11:29us to at most denouncing what Israel
11:31does and not what Israel is they will
11:34begrudgingly allow us to denounce what
11:35it does in order to maintain a faux Aura
11:38of Reason debate existing in Western
11:39Society on the issue provided that we
11:41never quite get to the root of why it's
11:43always been doing it so we can say blame
11:46Netanyahu and the Israeli farri right
11:47for the Gaza genocide but we can't go
11:49any further and Link it to the source
11:51the ethnonationalism and colonialism
11:53that is inherent to Israel's overarching
11:55ideology of Zionism which practically
11:56all Israelis adhere to not just
11:58Netanyahu and these limits on our speech
12:00are mainly achieved through the
12:02enforcement of Jewish exceptionalism
12:04okay Eli that's that's more than enough
12:06so yes I'm well aware that Hassan LLY
12:09proclaims himself as a supporter of the
12:10one state solution and that well at
12:12least when criticizing Ethan Klein he
12:14calls out liberal Zionism but those are
12:16words those are slogans they aren't
12:18practice in practice he upholds this
12:21framework of Jewish exceptionalism and
12:23leads people astray from identifying
12:25what the actual problems are and from
12:27being able to even conceive of them let
12:28alone and effectively fight them and
12:31this is a post also from people who are
12:33his fans so the the people who posted
12:36this also clearly thought that this was
12:38um like a really good thing that he did
12:40here it was a good thing for him to say
12:42it was a good thing for him to post and
12:44the context of them posting this is
12:45basically like Ethan Klein constantly
12:48like accuses Hassan perer of like not
12:50caring about Israelis not caring about
12:52Israeli voices and stuff like that now a
12:55non-jewish exceptionalist response to
12:57that sort of rhetoric would be just say
12:59I don't give a shit about Israeli voices
13:01why would I specifically care about
13:04Israeli voices in the context of
13:06Israelis oppressing Palestinians for
13:09their own benefit it's a ridiculous
13:11proposition but Hassan and his fans
13:13don't respond to the allegation in that
13:15way the way that they respond to it is
13:17instead to say no here are all these
13:20examples of Hassan caring about Israelis
13:22and caring about Israeli perspective and
13:25and humanizing Israelis basically
13:27responding on the terms of Jewish
13:29exceptionalism rather than correctly
13:31responding with who fucking cares about
13:34what they think it's ultimately
13:35irrelevant what the people who benefit
13:38from Israel think about it we don't need
13:40their permission or their validation nor
13:42do we need to uplift the two or three
13:44people among them who are actually
13:45anti-zionists it's pure weaponization of
13:48liberal identity politics to uphold
13:50Jewish exceptionalism but they don't
13:52respond in that way rather they respond
13:53like this listen to this 8 years old I
13:56put a note in this is really important
13:59for people to watch and understand okay
14:01especially because the overwhelming
14:03majority of people in this chat no
14:05matter how hard they lar are not fucking
14:07like gorilla Fighters or resistance uh
14:10members or aren't even in like Lebanon
14:13or Gaza okay the largest chunk of this
14:17community are westerners specifically in
14:20America or living in the Western World
14:22in developed Nations the people that you
14:25encounter and the people that you talk
14:27to about these issues is especially if
14:29they are Jewish it is important to
14:32understand their
14:38background dear God you see what I mean
14:42it is important to understand how
14:44radicalization occurs in this fucking in
14:48in this environment that we grew up in
14:51okay that is the reason why this is
14:54important to watch it is important to
14:56understand it is important to empathize
14:59uh with with people that you are
15:02directly at odds with okay many of you
15:06have gone through a similar journey and
15:09have taken
15:10bigoted opinions for granted as a direct
15:14consequence of your Social conditioning
15:17whether it be unconditional support and
15:19defense of Israel or whether it be
15:22transphobia or okay so this is pure and
15:25unadulterated liberal idealism let me
15:27explain to you why isra and Zionist Jews
15:30who aren't Israelis support Israel not
15:33because they have been misled into
15:34having bigoted views in the way that say
15:36like a working class white person would
15:38be misled into supporting Donald Trump
15:40that workingclass white person is being
15:42lied to they're being told that
15:44supporting Donald Trump is better for
15:45them when actually supporting Donald
15:47Trump is worse for them they have been
15:48fed into advocating for the interests of
15:51those whose interests are actually not
15:53aligned with theirs this is not the case
15:55with Israel Israel is an ethno state run
15:59by Jews for Jews Jews benefit and profit
16:03handsomely from Zionism from upholding
16:07the state of Israel they get free
16:09citizenship they get to go and live in
16:11someone else's house on someone else's
16:12land they get a relatively very high
16:15standard of living and all of this comes
16:17at the cost of the Palestinian people so
16:19to frame them as like victims of
16:21propaganda who are misled and to act
16:23like we need to specifically understand
16:25their lived experience or whatever as
16:28Jews is completely out of line with the
16:30actual reality they don't need to be
16:33propagandized into thinking this is
16:35great for them because they live it
16:37Israelis and zionists do not believe in
16:39Zionist propaganda because they've been
16:41fooled into advocating for something
16:43that is ultimately against their
16:44interest it's the complete opposite they
16:46support Zionism because Zionism is good
16:49for them they know it's good for them it
16:52really is good for them Israel truly is
16:54a so-called Jewish democracy in that it
16:57is democratic if you're Jewish in that
17:00it represents you and your interests if
17:03you're Jewish talking about them here as
17:05if they they're misled into actually
17:08advocating for the piggy piggy
17:09capitalists when that's simply not the
17:10case at all they aren't being misled for
17:13them what you perceive as propaganda is
17:16entertainment like you need to think
17:17about the Jewish lived experience fan
17:19you need to think about them growing up
17:21with propaganda you need to empathize
17:23with them and sympathize with them
17:24because you were in the same you were in
17:26the same position once now for most of
17:28you that's simply not the case and this
17:30is completely incorrect but you know you
17:34need to think about what Jewish people
17:36think because they are special they have
17:38a special experience after all they're
17:41Jewish to frame the Jews as somehow
17:44victims of propaganda when it comes to
17:46Israel is a total Croc of shit you can't
17:48be a victim of something that benefits
17:49you and I have another video about this
17:52on my main Channel called the truth
17:54about Israel it's not just Netanyahu
17:57explaining specifically how Israelis
18:00support Israel not because they're
18:01propaganda victims but because it's good
18:04for them they know that it hurts
18:05Palestinians and ultimately they are
18:07either okay with that or they outright
18:09support it because what they care about
18:11is that it benefits them and it's
18:13incredibly disappointing not just that
18:15Hassan perer says this but that his fans
18:18use this as an example of him supposedly
18:21saying something that's right and
18:23ultimately abiding by the Jewish
18:24exceptionalist framework of his
18:26opponents and thus helping to uphold
18:29liberal Zionism because make no mistake
18:31what this documentary that is referring
18:32to to here israelism is basically about
18:35is Hardcore radical zionists finding out
18:38that Israel does bad things in the West
18:40Bank and becoming liberal zionists
18:42instead and it is sadly not at all
18:44surprising to me that Hassan uses this
18:46as an example of how Zionist Jews are
18:50supposedly victims of propaganda again
18:52you can't be a victim of something that
18:54you want to believe in Because deep down
18:57you understand that believing in it
18:59deres great material benefits for you
19:02now for some more context I directly
19:04called out Hanan for this on my YouTube
19:06Community page where I said I will
19:09fucking puke if I see Hassan paker say I
19:12invite Israelis onto my broadcast all
19:14the time or tell us how we need to
19:16empathize and and humanize Israelis who
19:18are victims of propaganda themselves
19:19again Jewish exception is liberal
19:21Zionist Dil validating the idea that we
19:23need approval from tokens among the
19:25enemy to oppose them just because
19:26they're Jewish and painting Zionist is
19:28being misled victims rather than the
19:30reality where they're enthusiastically
19:32and willingly pursuing their own
19:33interest for material gain at the cost
19:34of Palestinians sickening and Hassan
19:37left a comment responding to this which
19:39I'm not going to beat around the bush
19:40it's word sell this is a sort of thing
19:42that if you had like a mildly prop
19:44Palestinian PR manager they would tell
19:46you to post exactly this it's utterly
19:48meaningless word salad let me read it
19:50the struggle is
19:52multifaceted internal pressure plays a
19:54role I will not back away from
19:56contextualizing the role resistance
19:59plays in emancipation but I also won't
20:02immedately discard those who have
20:03agreements with me on that especially
20:05when I have relied on their
20:06investigative reporting I've used
20:09yuval's work at 9 at 972 magazine in the
20:12past it's important not to take honest
20:14reporting and the bodies that Israeli
20:16Jewish allies put forth to protect
20:18Palestinians for granted even if we have
20:20disagreements okay first things first
20:23what bodies are Israeli Jewish allies
20:25putting forward to protect Palestinians
20:27there's like two of them and the Uval gu
20:30in question is not one of them to be
20:31clear we'll get to that in a minute
20:33you've used yuval's work at 9 at 972 in
20:35the past so let me bring you up the
20:37speed of some context 972 magazine is an
20:39overtly liberal Zionist newspaper in
20:42Israel which got famous by saying things
20:44that Palestinians were saying like a
20:46year later I've cited it myself as well
20:48in the past but I've also cited the
20:50fucking New York Times I've cited The
20:52Washington Post citing something does
20:54not mean that you need to like praise
20:57the person who is writing it that you
20:59need to uphold them as allies or
21:00whatever because this Yuval Abraham guy
21:02he's not an ally at all and the first
21:04part is basically uh just complete
21:07liberal word salad he says I won't
21:08immediately discard those who have
21:10disagreements with me on that you don't
21:11need to like appeal to them as people
21:13you don't need to bef friend them as
21:15people not treating them as special
21:16beings who have something special to say
21:18just because they're Israeli and Jewish
21:20it's not the same thing as citing some
21:21article they contributed to what 972
21:24magazine has done is basically the same
21:25as what heret does like a year or two
21:28after Palestinians have been saying this
21:30is happening to us this is happening to
21:32us they will come out with some sort of
21:33supposed expose where like an unnamed
21:36IDE of source tells them the same thing
21:37that Palestinians have been saying has
21:39been happening for years with video
21:41proof and stuff and they will be like
21:43this unnamed IDF source told us this and
21:45they all present that as if now that a
21:47Jewish guy has said so it's validated
21:50now this can be worth like citing as
21:52like additional evidence on top of
21:54everything else but it doesn't warrant
21:56like specific praise in the framing of
21:58the people right in it as allies cuz
21:59they are not allies they fundamentally
22:01want different things to what you
22:03yourself say that you want you know
22:04these are like liberal two status the
22:06these are people who will say Netanyahu
22:08is going too far in Gaza as I said in
22:11the Jewish exceptionalism video that we
22:13went over a second ago or the West Bank
22:16settlements are bad but fundamentally
22:18they're still zionists and while they
22:19may sometimes produce work that is
22:22useful to SES that does not make them an
22:24ally certainly not anymore than it makes
22:26a New York Times report in my Ally when
22:28they like grudgingly report that say the
22:30USA interfered in Venezuela or something
22:32so the context on this yuil Abraham
22:34thing is that yuil Abraham is this
22:36Israeli liberal Zionist filmmaker or
22:40calling him a filmmaker is very generous
22:42the only reason that he can be called a
22:43filmmaker is because he's leeched of
22:44Palestinians and that is a fact and
22:46Assan P when he interviewed the creators
22:48of NOA land he made a point to
22:50specifically point out how awesome and
22:53valuable yel Abraham is specifically for
22:55being an Israeli and of course this
22:57Hassan p a cult sub
22:59made sure to specifically point that out
23:01in response to Ethan Klein's idiocy
23:03saying but Hassan pker didn't even
23:06acknowledge the contribution of the
23:07Israeli to this is to point to Hassan
23:10specifically acknowledging the Epic
23:12contribution of the Israeli to this as
23:14if that makes you know the fact that
23:15he's he's an Israeli collaborating on
23:17this makes him special it's the complete
23:18wrong way to respond again the way to
23:20respond to that is who fucking cares we
23:22don't need the approval of some Israeli
23:24to post evidence of Palestinian
23:26oppression give me a fucking break so
23:28here specifically the part that was the
23:30worst but I mean the whole thing is
23:31pretty bad about that actually because
23:34so jual Abraham played a role in this uh
23:36in the making of This documentary I've
23:38actually uh uh really admired his work
23:42uh for a long time at 972 magazine local
23:45calls another one that do does a lot of
23:47investigative reporting on all of the uh
23:50horrible things that the Israeli
23:51military is doing so you know singling
23:54out like the contribution of this sort
23:57of is Israeli guy who is only here
24:00because without an Israeli a token
24:02Israeli there a lot of people will not
24:04feel comfortable even acknowledging the
24:06the existence of a movie like this
24:08that's the entire reason he's here
24:09that's what his role is you know there's
24:11like this ridiculous question that
24:13Hassan posed in this interview as well
24:15for example where he makes sure to point
24:17out the importance of the Israeli allies
24:19as if they need to be singled out for
24:21specific praise just because they are
24:22Israelis like the two of them who exist
24:25like that makes them special and worthy
24:27of this sort of specific praise as if
24:29for one they are at all indicative of
24:31Israelis in general they are not and for
24:33two as if they're even worth mentioning
24:35when they're are millions of
24:37Palestinians doing way more than they
24:38are so why even bring them up aside from
24:41Jewish exceptionalism aside from like
24:44this sort of weasly little attempt to
24:45frame israeli's potential allies and
24:47lead people away from the real way to
24:50fight the problem here which is sadly as
24:52much as it might pain you to admit
24:54fighting against the Israelis not
24:56appealing to them as potential allies
24:58not reasoned argument to bring them to
25:00our side if you don't think that's how
25:01you fight Nazis then that's not how you
25:03fight zionists I'm sorry it's the same
25:05thing I'm not sorry actually you
25:07shouldn't need to be apologized to all
25:09the time to when you're having shit said
25:11to you frankly like this question I have
25:13I guess is um there are obviously uh
25:17Jewish Israelis he made he brought this
25:19up himself by the way he brought this up
25:21no one was no one else was talking about
25:23this who put their bodies on the line as
25:25well do you feel like that is uh given
25:29the the ethnos supremacist values that
25:33uh zionists have or given the ethnos
25:35supremacist values that Israel has do
25:38you feel
25:39like when uh when there are Jewish
25:42activists side by side with you that
25:44they there is less harm in
25:47general well they sometimes been
25:50attacked and arrested a lot of times but
25:53we are the pal like they don't face what
25:57we face as a Palestinian
25:59uh in most of the cases because you know
26:02in the end of the day they have the
26:03privilege because they are Israelis
26:05they're they're like some of them are
26:08our friends you know and we we we talk
26:11every day and we work together and go to
26:13the field but still they are Israelis
26:15they know that they have the the
26:17privilege and not necessarily you know
26:20you know they like in a lot of cases uh
26:23there was Israeli Israeli activists and
26:26it's still the would be the same for
26:29example in Bor in uh beta where American
26:34activists were shot in the head and
26:35killed and there was other like American
26:38activist yeah American activists the
26:40Turkish American and and Israeli
26:42activists who were like side by side
26:44with here and Palestinians and still the
26:46same in M almost all sometimes it would
26:50make the harm less depends on the
26:53situation but sometime like most of the
26:55times no you know so I mean the guy
26:58basically shuts him down completely
27:00there in his attempt to insert the
27:02importance of the token Israelis into
27:04the conversation so yeah I just wanted
27:06to bring that up because this is even
27:07worse than him specifically bringing up
27:08Yuval and it's weird by the way that he
27:11specifically brought up Yuval Abraham
27:12cuz Yuval Abraham isn't actually here
27:14none of these three guys are him so like
27:16Hassan specifically wanted to bring up
27:18like the Israeli like co-director here
27:22it's just W weird right weird wild and I
27:26think this part specific spefically also
27:29sort of illustrates a wi point that I'm
27:31making here in that these guys clearly
27:34do not want this token isra uile Abraham
27:37and to be clear this is not simply about
27:39him this is about wider issues about how
27:42and why this sort of thing needs to be
27:44done because it's indicative of pushing
27:46people towards liberal Zionism and
27:48ultimately upholding Zionism but you
27:50know they clearly do not want to need
27:52this token liberal Zionist Israeli to
27:55coign on what was ultimately their work
27:58to take credit for it was ultimately
28:00their work to insert himself into what
28:02is ultimately their suffering to have to
28:04have a representative of what is
28:06ultimately the enemy group amongst
28:08themselves they don't want that but
28:09they're forced into doing it and this
28:11sort of thing is upheld by people like
28:13Hassan whether he realizes or not
28:15whether he means to do so or not and by
28:17upholding it Zionism is strengthened
28:19Zionism is reinforced it's not simply
28:22rhetoric it's not simply Optics it is
28:24real practical consequences and the fact
28:27that we have this Israeli liberal
28:29Zionist there means for one the film
28:32itself had to be heavily watered down to
28:34only focus on like the West Bank and
28:36focus on things through like the eyes of
28:38an Israeli and it also means that what
28:41this film actually means what it should
28:43be about you know the oppression of the
28:45Palestinian people by Israelis one group
28:47is the slain another group are the
28:49Slayers remember that it is changed from
28:52that into some sort of nauseating
28:55message about supposed unity and like
28:57the fate of these two peoples being
28:58intertwined and both groups somehow
29:00being victims when that's simply not the
29:03point not actually the case at all the
29:05Israelis are victimizers not victims
29:07there's a a segment on this written by
29:10Muhammad Al kurur someone who if Hassan
29:13perer wants to actually get an effective
29:16real anti-zionist HTI stream should
29:18consider inviting on this is from
29:19Muhammad Al cord's book released on
29:22January 7th 2015 called perfect victims
29:25in the politics of appeal specifically
29:27about this cuz what happened with Noah
29:29verland is a pervasive practice this
29:32co-production thing where Whenever there
29:35is anything by Palestinians and Israeli
29:38has to be included so that liberals can
29:40sort of have their little awe look
29:43there's Unity between the oppressor and
29:45the oppressed sort of Feelgood moment
29:47where they can insulate themselves from
29:49the reality where Israelis are enemies
29:51to be fought rather than potential
29:52allies to be convinced and brought to
29:54your side and avoid the reality where
29:57they will need to be Co worse into
29:58submission because ultimately Zionism is
30:00great for them and they have no real
30:01reason to oppose it because why would
30:03you oppose something that gets you a
30:04free house and extremely high standard
30:06of living rather than reinforce it so
30:09alur writes take the genre of Israelis
30:11and Palestinians making films together
30:14the Palestinian filmmaker is chaperoned
30:16to the film festival allowed on stage as
30:19the retive co- signatory's charismatic
30:21sidekick no one not the producer of the
30:24festival not the columnist writing a
30:26review seems to car about this content
30:28of the film whether it's good or Garbage
30:31what matters is that the film was
30:32co-directed a mode that satisfies a
30:34libidinal urge in the viewers they EAS
30:36drop on a foreign conversation a
30:39titilating Reconciliation between the
30:41Slayer and the slain discussions about
30:43the film reviews the way is promoted and
30:45are excited elevated pictures to one
30:47another all become masturbatory reducing
30:50the film to the fact that it was a
30:51collaboration between Israeli and a
30:52Palestinian fulfilling the viewer
30:54fantasy of a happy ending to an
30:56otherwise miserable we turn it into a
30:58fetish this has been done so many times
31:00before that it could be accurately
31:03predicted before it even happened in
31:04this book and because of this nauseating
31:07practice this film that should not have
31:10been about Israelis at all or included
31:12an Israeli at all includes one and
31:14allows him to steal the show to get on
31:17stage when a Palestinian film wins an
31:19Oscar and spout nauseating disgusting
31:22liberal Zionist bullshit so we get a
31:24Palestinian who speaks frankly and Cally
31:27and then his Israeli co-director gets to
31:30speak for even longer spouting liberal
31:32Zionist rubbish
31:37listen we we made this we made this film
31:42Palestinians and Israelis remember what
31:44we just read Palestinians and Israelis
31:47It's All About Us supposedly being
31:49united in the struggle we're the same
31:51we're in this together when they're not
31:54the fact that the victim is
31:55collaborating with the victimizer is
31:57specific speciically upheld and put
31:59above everything else and it's fucking
32:01disgusting it all becomes that it all
32:04becomes about that rather than the
32:05actual content of the film because
32:07together our voices are
32:10stronger fuck
32:12off we we we see each
32:16other the atrocious destruction of Gaza
32:19and its people which must end the
32:21Israeli hostages brutally
32:23taking so because of this fucking
32:25ridiculous co- collaboration thing where
32:29Palestinians need the stamp of approval
32:31of a token Israeli to even be able to
32:33get any attention on their oppression we
32:35get this liberal Zionist fuckhead
32:36talking about the hostages the settler
32:39colonists on the Gaza border and how and
32:41how they are poor little victims and
32:43drawing equivalences between this and
32:45the genocide of Gaza in the crime of
32:47October 7th which must be in the crime
32:48of October 7th half of a speech on a
32:52film about is the Israeli genocide of
32:55Palestinians is about how Israeli are
32:58victims too because this motherfucker is
33:00here on the stage this motherfucker
33:02Hanan did not question at all in fact he
33:03praised him and talked about how
33:05important it is to have him there when I
33:07look at Basel I see my brother but we
33:10are
33:11unequal we live in a regime where I am
33:14free under civilian law and Basel is
33:16under military laws that this is
33:17specifically just thir announcement of
33:19the West Bank what he's talking about
33:20there is the system the legal system in
33:23the West Bank as I said liberal Zionism
33:26fools you with shit like this destroy
33:29his life and he cannot control there is
33:31a different path a political solution
33:35without ethnic Supremacy with national
33:38rights for both of our people without
33:40ethnic Supremacy with national rights
33:43for both of our people National without
33:46ethic Supremacy but with national rights
33:49what does that mean obviously it's a
33:52two-state solution with a division on
33:54ethnic lines is what he's advocating for
33:56there Israelis don't ve any national
33:58rights give me a fucking break National
34:01rights for
34:03Israelis and I have to say as I'm here
34:06the foreign policy in this country is
34:09helping to block this path what was done
34:11here is like a supposed white Ally
34:13getting up on stage and like in the same
34:16breath as announcing like lynchings of
34:18black Americans bringing up like black
34:20attacks on white people and like the
34:23problem of anti-white racism or
34:24something it just really is that bad and
34:26if you don't perceive it as such that's
34:28the whole problem that's Jewish
34:30exceptionalism
34:34and you know this is all just liberal
34:37Zionist fucking Dil and it's it's it's I
34:41wouldn't say it's disappointing because
34:42I wouldn't have expected it from H son
34:44but it's sad that he did not call this
34:46out when he had the chance to what he
34:48should have said is why are you here why
34:50do you need to be here we should aim for
34:53a future where you don't need to be here
34:55where Palestinians do not need the stamp
34:57of a approval of a talentless token
34:59Israeli to get what what is happening to
35:01them out into the world Hassan should be
35:03advocating against that Hassan should be
35:05fighting back and pushing back against
35:07it if he really was like this Pro
35:09Palestinian radical that he frames
35:11himself as he should be helping to move
35:13the needle to make sure that this sort
35:15of thing slowly but surely dissipates
35:17and Fades away to make sure that Jewish
35:19exceptionalism dissipates and Fades away
35:21because while his fans love to make
35:23excuses for him by saying that he's like
35:25part of a pipeline or something like
35:28that where he like intentionally
35:29regulates his rhetoric to get mainstream
35:32attention and trying to try and push
35:34people towards like more radical
35:36creators or something like that is the
35:37way I've seen you guys make excuses for
35:39him on this shit the fact of the matter
35:42is that what he does and says
35:44contradicts what people like me say
35:46contradicts what the people who are
35:47actually trying to move the needle say
35:49so I don't think his hands are going to
35:51be put on a pipeline I think they go to
35:53him and he's a dead end ultimately what
35:55needs to happen here is that stuff like
35:56this needs to be challenged Hassan often
35:58invokes like South Africa as a great
36:01example of what to aim for South Africa
36:03is a shit hole and South Africa is
36:04specifically a shit hole because the
36:06whites were totally coddled with the
36:08process that resulted in the end of
36:09Apartheid nothing was meaningfully taken
36:11from them there were no reparations
36:13nothing No Return of land nothing no
36:16justice against the oppressors nothing
36:18and if you like continue to enable this
36:21sort of thing if you continue to spread
36:24and uphold Jewish exceptionalism you're
36:26going to get a South afria AF and we
36:28don't want to South Africa and this is
36:29ultimately another point that you're
36:31going to need to come to terms with as
36:32well because in any sort of remotely
36:34just and acceptable solution to the
36:36Palestinian question you're going to
36:38need to understand that it's going to
36:40come at the cost of Israelis because
36:41Israelis live at the cost of
36:43Palestinians they stole Palestinian land
36:45they stole Palestinian homes they have
36:47inflicted unimaginable pain on the
36:48Palestinian people for their own benefit
36:50so there's no like happy ending here
36:51where everyone comes out happy
36:53Palestinian Liberation necessitates
36:55Palestinians you know being materially
36:58given back what has been taken from them
37:00this imagine fantasy world where we get
37:02Israeli allies and we all s Kumbaya
37:04together and we sign like the Equal
37:06Rights paper to magically fix everything
37:08would just result in another South
37:09Africa and we don't want another South
37:11Africa we want restitution we want
37:13Material Justice and Material Justice is
37:16necessarily going to have to come at the
37:18cost of those who have taken from the
37:19victims not fighting by their side and
37:22someone like yal Abraham would never in
37:24a million years accept something like
37:25that maybe on his best day he would
37:27accept accepted in the West Bank which
37:29is full on liberal Zionism still South
37:31Africa is a good example of like the
37:33international pressure you can put on
37:35Israel but it's not a good example of
37:37what to aim for ultimately what Hassan
37:39does and says leads people away from the
37:42truth which is that Israelis are not
37:45simply a complicit population because
37:46they are propagandized into being as
37:48such it's that Israel is a country for
37:50them by them it is run for their
37:53interest they profit handsomely from it
37:55and in a situation like that it is a
37:57complete liberal like feel-good fantasy
38:00to imagine that we're going to bring
38:02down Israel by appealing to the
38:04sensibilities of Israelis and convincing
38:06them what they're doing is wrong because
38:07deep down they know what they're doing
38:08is wrong in that it hurts a ton of
38:11people but they benefit from it so
38:12they're happy with it and ultimately
38:14even many of the supposed allies like
38:16yval Abraham here are happy to head on
38:18to go on stage and appropriate a
38:20supposedly Pro Palestinian film to
38:22spread disgusting Israeli Colonial
38:24propaganda about how the hostages a poor
38:27little victims and October 7th was a
38:29massive crime rather than the
38:30predictable response to Israeli
38:32colonialism because if he got what he
38:34wants what you would end up with is a
38:36Zionist solution AKA a two- State
38:38solution he does not want to give up his
38:40privileges he wants to sort of negotiate
38:42at settlement to make himself feel
38:44better while still ultimately upholding
38:46the Zionist goal of a Jewish ethnos
38:48State on Palestinian land this guy
38:50should not even be there and we can work
38:53towards a situation where people like
38:55him would not be there to spout that
38:57disgusting liberal Zionist propaganda on
38:59stage and appropriate what should have
39:01been a moment of Palestinian advocacy
39:03but it takes effort it takes real risk I
39:06don't think Hassan Parker is going to be
39:07taking on that risk anytime soon he's
39:09going to wait for others to take on the
39:10risk to move the needle to do what needs
39:12to be done to say what needs to be said
39:13and then years down the line he will
39:15take credit for it as if he was on board
39:16of this the whole time he could use his
39:18massive platform to talk about what I'm
39:20talking about here and to really help to
39:23change things to really really
39:25legitimately help to expose was a ton of
39:28people to fundamental systemic critique
39:30of Israel what it is and why Israel is
39:32are so supportive of but rather than
39:34that he spreads this notion of Israelis
39:36as victims themselves of propaganda and
39:39helps to reinforce Jewish exceptionalism
39:41which is ultimately the framework that
39:43results in the western support of Israel
39:46that Hassan pertains to be against words
39:48are meaningless practice is what matters
39:50and Hassan can say that he's for a
39:51one-state solution as much as he wants
39:53he can critique liberal Zionism as much
39:55as he wants but ultimately the way that
39:57he pushes people towards thinking are
40:00counterproductive to achieving a
40:02one-state solution and counterproductive
40:04to fighting liberal Zionism look
40:06ultimately this isn't about Hanan biker
40:09this is way bigger than him because
40:10there is a reason why you'll never see
40:12him not regulate his rhetoric like this
40:14and it's a fear of Jewish exceptionalism
40:17you know there's a reason why when some
40:19Zionist idiot says to him oh but you
40:21don't care about the hostages he's like
40:23oh I have talked about the hostages he's
40:24all the times I've talked about the
40:25hostages rather than the proper response
40:27to that which would be why the fuck are
40:29those people living in settlements
40:31surrounding Gaza anyway ever thought
40:33about that how depraved in discussing
40:35you have to be to do that and even aside
40:37from like the moralistic component of it
40:39they clearly served the purpose for
40:40colonialism and must have known what
40:42they were getting into by living there
40:44he won't say anything like that he will
40:45just defend himself on the terms of the
40:47Zionist same thing will say October 7th
40:50rape allegations rather than saying
40:52there's no evidence whatsoever Beyond
40:54just Israeli zist saying so that there
40:56were any rapes on October 7th he will
40:59say um well you know maybe there were
41:01rapes on October 7th but that doesn't
41:02change the dynamic for me he will not
41:04properly explain the context of these
41:06bullshit allegations and their wider
41:08history in justifying Colonial genocides
41:10of the past he will rather again respond
41:12on the terms of the zionists and take
41:14these supposed rapes as like a
41:16possibility if not a fact when he's
41:17criticized on the ridiculous notion that
41:19he doesn't platform Israeli voices and
41:22he doesn't allow Israelis to be heard
41:24like the poor marginalized Israelis his
41:26response is not to correctly surmise
41:29that you know it's ridiculous to expect
41:31us to platform people from the oppressor
41:32group as if what they say regarding
41:34their victims is at all anything that we
41:37should listen to or care about like
41:39obviously they're they're way more
41:40likely to support that duh they benefit
41:43from it his response is rather to be
41:45like I've spoken to many Israelis who
41:47who criticize Israel I've spoken to many
41:49Jews who criticize Israel ultimately he
41:51doesn't contest the terms of Jewish
41:53exceptionalism he accepts them and he
41:55perpetuates them and you should think
41:56about why that is
