-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

She seems very good.

Content Warning: there is an American asshole from I24 at one point. It gets a bit confrontational. Other than that, it’s incredible.

It’s honestly very cathartic seeing someone at the highest possible level be this honest and upfront about what is going on. Also, Abby Martin is there.

He tries to "force" her into admitting her point of view that Israel is and has always been an occupier. As though it would be some sort of get. Hello her title is "UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory"

auto subtitles of part of this interaction with light editing; please consult original video for accuracy

Mike wagenheim with I24 news (it's been a while since we've last spoken) a couple questions for you. in your report you have a line in here that says that since its establishment Israel has treated the occupied people as "a hated incumbrance and threat to be eradicated" and you go on uh listing other items


we'll leave aside the contextual and factual debate about that


based on that statement it seems to infer that you believe that Israel has been an occupier since the day of its birth is that your position you said since its establishment Israel has treated occupied people Etc are you inferring that Israel's been an occupier since 1948?

....

let me elaborate. Israel has taken, and we can I can concede that it has done it with with the recognition of the general assembly, from a human rights law point of view and as I take a people centered approach I cannot forget it the creation of the state of Israel has meant the dispossession of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians of who have been kicked out of their homes and never allowed to return.

it does make an occupier. it makes a state of Israel a state who has forcibly displaced significant part of the native population and this is the past that has never been addressed


the guy looks like a fool, honestly it isn't upsetting for what he says so much as he has the smug look on his face like a conspiracy nut observing "sheeple"
