Listen to the words he actually said
He said 'for Palestine to be free, from the river to the sea'.
That is a call for Islamic Imperialism, for the end of Israel and the killing of all Israelis including the 20% of Israelis who are Muslim.
He qualified what he meant by that statement in his very next breath. And it very much wasn't a call for imperialism.
It doesn't do anyone well to ignore the clearly stated intentions behind somebody's words.
You are right but it wasn't in the Crikey article of OP so go maybe easy on the commenter.
Wasn't it? Okay.
Its Seagoon_@aussie.zone, i hope they know, i know they're a good person.
Lots of AZ regulars know each other's views fairly well now. I's actually surprised this was seagoon's first comment in this thread tbh.
Is it Jewish imperialism when the Likud party in 1977 election manifesto said: "Between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty."?
Or does that not count because whataboutism?
It is a good point however Likud took 5 dud attempted coalitions before coming back in power. Bibi was about to go on trial for embezzlement. They were not that popular.
Unfortunately while Likud are still not popular, political pundits say the Left would be very unlikely to form a coalition government in the next election.
No, listen to all the words he said that Palestinian freedom needs to come, not at the expense of other people.
Admittedly Crikey accidentally made it sound worse by taking it out of context but they may not have had access to the video (which has since been posted in this thread).
Nevertheless, a one-state solution cannot work because Hamas are not seeking what this guest is talking about.
