Does Israel have a future? with Ilan Pappé

The Israeli Jewish public consistently supported the genocide in Gaza by large margins, according to opinion polls. But in recent months things started to shift. An overwhelming majority now say they support the ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal that went into effect in January.

Earlier this month, the Israel Democracy Institute published a poll which found that 66 percent of Israeli Jews agree that “Israel should proceed to the second stage, which includes a complete end to fighting, withdrawal from Gaza and the release of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of all the hostages.”

And another poll, published by the Lazar institute at the end of January, found that only four percent of Israelis believe that the goals of the war in Gaza were met.

We are joined by historian Ilan Pappé, who will share his insights into the state of Israeli politics and society in the context of broader geopolitical developments.

I was raised a Zionist and it was my first trip to Israel / Palestine then researching and reading Pappé's books that made me see the reality...and the lies I'd been brought up on. Needless to say I'm no longer a Zionist and have been actively involved in raising awareness of the injustice and suffering of Palestinians for decades...including living and working in refugee camps in the occupied West Bank.

I can listen to Ilan Pappe all day long! No drama no yelling just integrity and honesty. Much appreciated you having him on again.

Ilan Pappe is a beacon of truth and light in these challenging times. The embodiment of ethics and integrity. Long live Ilan Pappe!

What’s becoming so obvious to people now is that colonialism has never ended just rebranded with different terms. From Natives indigenous people being called “savages” in the old days to now being called “terrorist” by neocolonialists who are neoliberals, neoconservatives, and zionist.

1) Savages is now “terrorist”

2) Civilizing them is now “bringing them democracy”

3) Colonies is now “territories”

We can all see Israel is a colonial project being supported by former and current colonials such as U.S, UK, and others who also control territories of indigenous natives in Caribbean Islands, Pacific Islands, Hawaii, and many more.

The liberation of Palestine will definitely give RISE to many indigenous natives around the world to free themselves from western domination. This is the underlying ripple effect that the U.S government and its puppet allies don’t want to happen

The truth is coming out, slowly but surely, Free The People 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🍀🙏

Netanyahu & IOF need to be held accountable for their terrorism and war crimes!

[PerceivedREALITY]

Rejecting zionism and condemning Israeli war crimes is not antisemitic.

[Thegabub]

He is right. We need to use this moment, this movement that has grown significantly, to expand to something bigger.

Let’s not let the youth and this energy go to waste, and let’s channel it to a free Palestine!

Edit: I cannot wait for this book. This is exactly what I’ve needed to energize me further

[rolfingemovimentoporhelena]

Thank you, Nora, Ali for bringing Ilan Pappé!

[r-Justice]

You get standing ovations because you have recognized the pain and the crimes that were committed against palestine. This is is the first step to pursue the path of justice.

[mohmoudfarah]

Mr. Pappe, I think the reason you get standing ovations is because of your courage in saying what you are saying.

Another Great Show; thank you, Guys! ❤

[Walt-zu]

Brave hard working people like you light the way towards a better time.

[eleanordoran]

It always calms my soul to listen to Ilan Pappé…not that we can be complacent, but that we now have people on the inside who can inform us as to stop the tide of negativity.

I remember meeting Professor Ilan Pappe over a decade ago when he did a talk in Australia and found him to very warm and friendly to everyone….. even the Israeli apologists who tried repeatedly to discredit him. He is a modern day Elijah
