Mr. Rabbani’s calm articulateness should be heard worldwide.

[erick.liebler]

Very good interview. I love the way Rabbani puts everything into context, rather than just making assertions.

I absolutely love the way Mr. Rabbani delivers his brilliant commentary!! My belief is that he is unmatched by any other that I have been privileged to hear!!

[chronicalIyoffline]

I love rabbini, him along with norm finklestein, Ilan Pape, Noam Chomsky, Chris hedges, Jeffrey Sachs, John Mearsheimer, Chas Freeman, are the absolute best scholars to watch on this subject if anyone is interested!

The reference to "every accusation is a confession" applies to more than the rapes. Going back to Deir Yassin and the massacre there, there exists a story of a Haganah perv who demanded an Arab father throw his baby in the oven. He refused, so the "soldier" did and then told the father, allegedly, that his son "needed him" and he should follow him, at which pont he pushed the father in, too. (Presumeably, these were large clay type ovens.) So, Israel has a vast litany of material upon which to draw for their barberous accusations against Palestinians..their own history!

Golda Mabovitch was her actual name. Not Meir.

[bobster]

Except it’s not genocide.
Words have meanings.

[MichaelJohnson-oirb]

they seem to be opposites of the same inhumane coin

[VCatCrusader]

Loved .Mouin, but the questions were way too long winded.

I’m sorry but Marc’s understanding of this is so fundimentially delusional - isreal has made mistakes as well, but it seems this story plays over and over again because of an unwillingness or perhaps an inability for Palestinians to think about what they could change to ensure this stops happening. I really hope that all of the outside opinions grating the Palestinians as a people with absolutely zero initiative and completely powerless regarding the direction and values of their own society is so unhelpful.

I wonder if the destruction would be bad if Hamas wasn’t forcing the idf to tear through absolutely everything including 70 metres of the earth to try and recover their hostages? Maybe if the world started treating the psychopath in his sewer hole with the amount of disgust he deserves and put the pressure on him to show his ugly face and surrender- I think you would be surprised at just how quickly this ended. Obviously the pressure campaign on isreal is not working, so why not shift tactics if you really want this to come to an end -
