Israel expands its wars, but is it closer to ‘total victory’? | The Bottom Line

Despite all the Israeli offensives of the past year – in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and elsewhere – Palestinian politician Mustafa Barghouti believes that the Palestinians are closer than ever to achieving their freedom.

Barghouti tells host Steve Clemons that Israel can’t achieve “total victory” as long as the Palestinians “refuse to give up [or] accept a life of subjugation or enslavement to the Israeli occupation.”

And regardless of anti-Palestinian bias and unconditional support for Israel in the West, Barghouti argues that Israel has “reached a point of crisis” and will be seen as a "pariah structure" over time.

Always good to hear Dr Barghouti, a voice of reason, even in the most dire circumstances.

The world is upside down. Aggression is self-defense. Self-defense is terrorism. Strange mindsets.

Whatever he said everything is 💯 percent right no doubt about that he knows the history of Palestinian and Israel very well. Good to have him in your show

The question should be “what is next for world humanity to retain humanity”. We all have lost humanity and became zombies watching a genocide. I will not forgive world leaders for having me witness this horrible atrocity

People r running away from Israel - Let’s all boycott.

I will never forget the racist contempt and ignorance that ABC presenter Sarah Ferguson showed to this great gentleman in one of the first interviews after Oct 7. Shame shame shame.

Madness, the UK and USA sanctioned the problem in Gaza, Gaza needs aid.

It amazes me how many ppl are unaware that Israel was established on May 14, 1948 under Harry S. Truman’s administration b4 that it was called British Palestine 🇵🇸 !

Dr. Mustafa Barghouti is the voice of a great leader who merits the audience and command of ALL western leaders!!!

[stefansollberger]

Ah by the way about racism. When Jewish people from Somalia came to Israel they were also not accepted by the israeli society because they were black.

Bilenken is master mind of all massacre?!

Israeli Startups Are Folding One After Another...many Israeli tech companies have closed up or significantly reduced their activity in the past year. Around 40000 Israeli companies have been closed, economic activity in Eilat port has gone down by 80% due to Houthis in red sea....moreover during the course of this war 75000 troops have become disabled as per reports...this is enough to show that Israelis military and economic capacity has been have also played an equal role in causing this damage....most importantly Palestine has received recognition from many important European and intl states and its movement has received tremendous global support which is the last thing Netanyahu would want to see happening 2 million Israelis have fled the pariah state, companies are shutting down since there are no materials and tourists are all time low.

Dr. Barghouti is right in everything he says! 7th of October could have been avoided, simply by recognizing palestinian rights to self determination and giving them their land and freedom!

Even if the apartheid state I dissolved all the people will not be treated as equals with equal rights. Look around the world for the examples of communities that have experienced genocide. They have yet to be given basic human rights the same rights enjoyed by their oppressors.
