After 2 minutes this is already completely biased and wrong. No European Jews “occupied” anything in 1982. Unless of course you mean that they moved into the homes that were legally purchased. I guess you can call that occupying literally. But then any person on the planet is an occupier of the home they own or rent. Such flagrant misuse of language to try and skew the discussion.

Hi Moshe, I wouldn’t dismiss what his entire presentation because of this. I don’t know what exactly happened in 1882. What makes this presentation so interesting to me is that he explains how both sides have their mythology rooted in a fascination with death and self-destruction and that they have a competition going on as to whom is the bigger victim here. We see too peoples who are ruled by the worst elements in their respective societies hell bent on destroying each other. I also find it fascinating that he labels both societies as narcissistic. They seem to need each other to form the basis of their identity. Palestinians present themselves as the victims of Israel and Israel presents itself as the victim of the Palestinians. To me this is a profound psychological analysis and not to be dismissed because he uses the wrong word when talking about one of many historical milestones in this almost perpetual conflict. I have watched some of his interviews as well and his takes are very original and balanced. He doesn’t pick a side like most people inevitably end up doing (me included, am pro-Palestinian as you know)
