Good on you, silverboom, and on Briguy for the original post. I was about to re-post it, to bring attention to this little-talked about perspective of the genocide that underlies the formation of the Israeli state and continues unabated today. This Russell Brand video is different than all his others, as evidenced by Russell’s somber state.
The two individuals referenced by Dr. Gabor Maté in the interview, Ilan Pappé and Norman Finkelstein, are worth checking out. Following are links to their wiki bios, followed by a couple of yootoob links, with plenty more that are easily found:
Zero credibility, of John Mearsheimer? Really? There wasn’t anything there you agreed with?
Mearshiemer shared some of his views. He’s a man who does not go beyond what he knows. Keep listening, maybe he’ll get around to saying what you need to hear. Besides, is there anyone who wouldn’t agree with you that Israel is arrogant?
This is the kind of experience we will endure for the rest of our lives. Our history has been fictionalized, and molded to our temperament. We have accepted as truths those ideas that suited us, and those that comforted us; in short, ideas that made us feel good about ourselves. More importantly, those ideas that supported those who rule over us.
A must for everyone to watch.

Something worth checking out that is mentioned in the video is the Nakba, the “catastrophe”. Here’s a link to a simple explanation:

John Mearsheimer shares his views of the situation, along with a bit regarding Ukraine:

Zero credibility IMO. NO Discussion of a possibility of a False Flag.
Israel was arrogant …unprepared…BULLSHIT !
They need to at least discuss the possibility to have any credibility

Boy, that’s a load of truth there, Strider.
