If you support Palestinian liberation, I think it would be wise to replicate Mr. Zomlot’s representation of his people’s issues. It’s worth a watch.

    Good on him for not allowing that reporter to paint him into a corner or get a rise out of him. He’s absolutely right. This whole situation is terrible, more for some than others, but ultimately for all. When you strip away a people’s right to self-determination and leave them no other recourse, this is what happens.

    Wow, he did not let that reporter direct the course of that conversation, he gave constant historical context and wouldn’t let the other guy steer the conversation to a simplistic narrative.

      A lot of people on here get concerned about “responding to [x]”, including this exact topic, when they need to learn to control the conversation.

      We know these topics are complex, and they way we discuss them needs to involve pulling out the roots of the issue instead of getting bogged down in liberal fishbrain talking points.
