The Brilliant Gabor Mate on The Israeli Occupation of Palestine. FULL
As a Jewish youngster growing up in Budapest, an infant survivor of the Nazi genocide, I was for years haunted by a question resounding in my brain with such force that sometimes my head would spin: “How was it possible? How could the world have let such horrors happen?” It was a naïve question, that of a child. I know better now: such is reality. Whether in Vietnam or Rwanda or Syria, humanity stands by either complicitly or unconsciously or helplessly, as it always does. In Gaza today we find ways of justifying the bombing of hospitals, the annihilation of families at dinner, the killing of pre-adolescents playing soccer on a beach. In Israel-Palestine the powerful party has succeeded in painting itself as the victim, while the ones being killed and maimed become the perpetrators. “They don’t care about life,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says, abetted by the Obamas and Harpers of this world, “we do.” Netanyahu, you who with surgical precision slaughter innocents, the young and the old, you who have cruelly blockaded Gaza for years, starving it of necessities, you who deprive Palestinians of more and more of their land, their water, their crops, their trees — you care about life? There is no understanding Gaza out of context — Hamas rockets or unjustifiable terrorist attacks on civilians — and that context is the longest ongoing ethnic cleansing operation in the recent and present centuries, the ongoing attempt to destroy Palestinian nationhood. The Palestinians use tunnels? So did my heroes, the poorly armed fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto. Unlike Israel, Palestinians lack Apache helicopters, guided drones, jet fighters with bombs, laser-guided artillery. Out of impotent defiance, they fire inept rockets, causing terror for innocent Israelis but rarely physical harm. With such a gross imbalance of power, there is no equivalence of culpability. Israel wants peace? Perhaps, but as the veteran Israeli journalist Gideon Levy has pointed out, it does not want a just peace. Occupation and creeping annexation, an inhumane blockade, the destruction of olive groves, the arbitrary imprisonment of thousands, torture, daily humiliation of civilians, house demolitions: these are not policies compatible with any desire for a just peace. In Tel Aviv Gideon Levy now moves around with a bodyguard, the price of speaking the truth. gabor gabor mate mate russell brand russell brand gabor mate dr gabor dr mate gabor gabor mate palestine gabor mate israel gabor maté gabor mate trauma gabor mate harry gabor mate prince harry, gabor mate harry interview gabor mate on palestine russell brand palestine gabor mate addiction diary of a ceo gabor mate russell brand israel jordan peterson gabor mate prince harry interview under the skin gabor mate adhd gabor mate jordan peterson, doctor gabor mate, gabor mate prince harry interview dr gabor mate prince harry gabor maté prince harry dr.gabor mate scattered minds gabor mate gabor mate interview with prince harry piers morgan keith woods gabor mate harry interview, gabor mate harry, gabor mate prince harry doctor gabor mate, diary of a ceo gabor maté palestine israel, israel, palestine and israel, palestine news, palestine conflict, israel vs palestine, israel palestine conflict, palestine live, palestine war, palestine israel war, palestine attack, palestine israel news, israel palestine live, israel attack, palestine attack israel, palestine today, palestine news today, palestine explained, israel palestine explained, palestine history, history, palestine news live, palestine hamas, hamas, palestine israel history, bbc palestine ambassador, palestine ambassador, melenchon israel palestine,+ putin on israel palestine war,+ palestine protest, israel and palestine explained video, andrew tate palestine, pro palestine, reason of israel and palestine fight, israel vs palestine explained, israel at war october trump israel palestine, history of palestine and israel conflict timeline, palestine song arabic, history of israel and palestine documentary, israel hamas, hamas, palestine israel, palestine, israel war, israel news, live israel, israel attack, israel guerra, israel today, gaza israel, palestina, israel palestina, israel news live, israel at war, israel at war october 2023, israel news today, palestine and israel, hamas attack, israel hamas attack, hamas israel attack, israel en vivo, israel news hindi, hamas vs israel israel conflict RISING shani luke israel video, supernova festival israel, festival israel, israel music festival, israel festival attack,+ conflicto israel gaza, israeli war coverage guerra israel hamas hoy war in israel october 2023, perang israel palestina, hamas attacks israel, israel y palestina en vivo hamas vs israel, israel at war october 2023, history of israel and palestine documentary, hamas attacks israel map, israel at war
