i am old enough to remember how yasser arafat had a hard time controlling them and their are don't wantgypt and causing problems in neighboring arabic countries. i would think that whatever happens, they can't really be trusted. i wouldn't trust them with a tablespoon of cement. the business of going out and dressing in women's clothing and fading into the crowd and they can't put a uniform on and fight . if they would just do something like that or in good faith, i think things would be better. guest: i think what scott just said there is obviously a controversial statement about portraying these protesters as pro-hamas portrayal that is in some cases may be correct but not cessarily a generalization i would make about the protest movement. there is the question of whether the students are condemning, and whether they tpnk that thomas is a legitimate resistance -- that hamas is a legitimate restance to the israelis. this is a big question we grapple with in the film again i think what we challenged making a film like that is that on all sides there is a lot of broad brushing and painti

a few days after this action, yasser arafat, the leader of the palestine liberation organization , arriveshran at the head of a delegation of palestinian fighters. he is the first foreign leader to congratulate the victory. should he continue the path he has taken now , or what could be done in the form of compassion for palestine, which has the good of palestine, it would be good if they appease a little, for example, so that things can be done right and the palestinian people know that if they take one arab step, it will mean the same thing. which he is holding now, will return again, and the leaders of the zionist regime and their western supporters, who have assessed the situation as very dangerous after the victory of the islamic revolution in iran, are trying to achieve a comprehensive agreement with egypt as the leader of the struggle. with this regime in the past years, the public opinion of the islamic world, especially the arabs. to divert the arabs and zionists towards peace. imam khomeini, who realized the evil intentions of the zionists , created an anti-zionist wave in iran a

with the emergence of the palestinian resistance under the leadership of sheikh yasser arafat in theam khomeini's fatwa about allocating part of the sharia property to support the palestinian resistance in the fatd movement and after the islamic revolution and the victory of the islamic revolution, in fact, in the late 70s, the first steps taken in this it was about expelling the ambassador of the zionist regime from tehran and raising the flag of palestine instead of the flag of the zionist regime. in this regard, the zionist regime and the emergence of resistance youth from all spectrums of resistance took place with the support of the islamic republic of iran and with the support of the revolutionary guards. iran, with the justifications and in fact the guidance of imam khomeini , supported these young people with the existing facilities , rather than with the occupying zionist regime that occupies lebanon up to beirut. islamic based on the support of the islamic resistance and helping the resistance and that there is no option or proposition before the palestinian people to retur

a few days after this action, yasser arafat, the leader of the palestine liberation organization, entered tehran at the head of a delegation of palestinian fighters . he is the first foreign leader who came to iran to congratulate the victory of the islamic revolution and met with imam khomeini, to take the imam's guidance with him. the nation of palestine should remain on the path it has taken now, or in a compassionate way. westerners who have assessed the situation as very dangerous after the victory of the iranian islamic revolution by reaching a comprehensive agreement with egypt as the leader of the fight against this regime in the past years, they are trying to divert the public opinion of the islamic world, especially the arabs, towards peace between the arabs and the zionists. imam khomeini, who realized the evil intentions of the zionists , created an anti-zionist wave in iran and the region on april 6, 1358, while opposing the compromise between egypt and israel. in this way, being subjugated in front of america and worse than him and more heinous than him in front of israel, t

a few days later from this action, yasser arafat, the leader of the palestine liberation organizationers tehran at the head of a delegation of palestinian fighters. he is the first foreign leader who came to iran to congratulate the victory of the islamic revolution and met with imam khomeini to bring the imam's guidance with him. today you see palestine. without exception, i want to say . without exception, i must say. that everyone should join hands so that they do not allow the palestinian nation to remain on the path it has taken now, or as a form of compassion for palestine. that the conditions after the victory of the iranian islamic revolution they have assessed it as very dangerous and are trying to divert the public opinion of the islamic world, especially the arabs, towards peace between the arabs and the zionists by reaching a comprehensive agreement with the country of egypt as the leader of the fight against this regime in the past years . imam khomeini, who realized the evil intentions of the zionists, on april 6, 1358, while opposing the compromise between egypt and isr

to me a lot about the departure of his friends, his friendship with nasser, his friendship with yasser arafat, his love, his conflict with hafez assad, his relations with shah hussein of jordan, and then he explained to me his memories of the negotiations with the shah that he had in algeria. he said this to me that you see, we wanted to destroy their country. to take khuzestan, if we can take tehran and divide khuzestan , we could not, no matter what you tried, we could not. destroy it and you wanted to do it through us, now i say, for example, go to karbala and from karbala go to quds , and that's the end of the conversation, we couldn't. now our countries have lived together for a long time . let's live together. the war is over. he also made other interpretations about the hypocrites , this group, rajavi waved his hand and announced the same interpretation in front of the parliament. when he said this, i said, mr. president when you say this, now we are in a state of neither war nor peace, both your forces are behind the lines and our forces are behind the lines, but we are killing the ce

considered the organization for the liberation of palestine to also be a terrorist organization, yasser arafatd arafat on a transition, on the transfer of relations that, of course, were not completely settled, but transferring them to another stage, to a stage that did not involve large-scale military action clashes, today they don’t want to do this, i don’t want to say that it is absolutely necessary. today sits down at the negotiating table with the leaders of hamas, but on the other hand, and why not, they also express the mood and will of part of the palestinian people. there is a powerful split among the palestinians, and ramallah, that is, the leadership of fatah, which rules the palestinian authority, is , in principle, very critical of hamas and... criticizes it, this is this rift, a split among the palestinians, it prevents agreement, again , i’ll quote again sergei viktorovich, in his answer to questions - yesterday, he just spoke about the efforts that russia made to reconcile the palestinians and achieve their unity, so that they would act as a united front, naturally, on the plat

it's sad to think of now, but it was in 1993 when yasser arafat and yitzhak rabin shook hands on the white house lawn and it seemed like that moment might be bringing in a new era of peace. and, of course, it wasn't to be. so that's a bittersweet memory. i sometimes of this another bittersweet memory. just the other day, a man named christopher edley, who i first worked with in the dukakis campaign, and then he's a law dean and civil rights expert. he just passed away this week and we worked together on a program to pretty much save affirmative action. it was called men don't end affirmative action. and the day that the president clinton gave the speech announcing that series of policies, which ended up preserving, i think, opportunity, education for helping preserve for about 20 years, was a proud day in the white house as well. these are wonderful memories. have to ask you, though. they're asking that you wait a little bit. we're going let give george a minute to get out and get to his car. he's got an early morning flight to chicago tomorrow, so he's got to get out of the room. an

and yasser arafat, yeah, you know, turned it down and it seems like the leaders, always the leaders ofhe palestinians, always want war. >> i think they of course, they they , they once had they had they, they once had they had this huge, giant country next to them called israel, which we consider tidy, but they're an even smaller thing. so if once they sign off of this is they've given up the dream . and so of given up the dream. and so of course, they're not going to they're not going to agree with this. these people, the gazans, they lost their home. i feel for them . it's like something out of them. it's like something out of what's that thing called, what's that movie called with, lord of the rings or the hobbit or whatever . isn't that the movie? whatever. isn't that the movie? >> no, it's not like you said, laura. the rings. this is like a baden baden prayer. >> they've lost their home. they want their home back. >> yeah, but then the jews lost their home as well. they were pushed off that land by by the romans. and you know, it's passed through various hands through history. i t

i am old enough to remember how yasser arafat had a hard time controlling them and their are probably and causing problems in neighboring arabic countries. i would think that whatever happens, they can't really be trusted. i wouldn't trust them with a tablespoon of cement. the business of going out and dressing in women's clothing and fading into the crowd and they fight . if they would just do something like that or negotiate in good faith, i think things would be better. guest: i think what scott just said there is obviously a controversial statement about portraying these protesters as pro-hamas. it is a portrayal that is in some cases may be correct but not necessarily a generalization i would make about the protest movement. there is the question of whether the students are condemning, and whether they think that thomas is a legitimate resistance -- that hamas is a legitimate resistance to the israelis. this is a big question we grapple with in the film that again i think what we challenged like that is that on all sides there is a lot of broad brushing and painting of different

when i went and the prime minister at that time, perez, in israel arranged for me to talk with yasser arafatober 7th, and certainly don't support hamas after. just like i don't believe a lot of students and people on the ground asking for humanitarian aid with these people that are assaulting people on subways and wearing masks, saying anti-semitic things. and it's time for people to stand up on both sides and say, wait a minute, we're not with that. both of those in gaza that can say that, and those that are saying, we want to see humanitarian aid and a two-state solution stand up and say, wait a minute, we're not with them. we cannot let the extremists on both sides control the noise. >> right, and you look at the questions that we've raised on this show repeatedly, and like ák while netanyahu quietly allowed them to continue getting money illicitly in 2018, he and donald trump looked the other way, when they knew where hamas' illegal money was coming from, and why netanyahu continued to fund hamas, even up to the october 7th attack, telling doha, just a few weeks before the october 7th at

arafat and about one part. palestine, in the second part live his enemies yasser, who would like to kill him, then it was necessaryo make a triple invitation and invite hamas from the gaza strip, is it illogical from this point of view to get into this big confrontation? in fact, everything looks quite logical here, because ukraine was recognized as the part that now belongs to fatah. to say that now, for example, the west bank of the jordan river is absolutely against everyone in gaza, that is, that the west bank of the jordan river is sitting and waiting for hamas to be destroyed, this is not true. in fact, the situation with gas is a more partial fragment of the reality that exists in relations with the west bank of the jordan river and , in general, the same mahmud abbas and all others. the external representation of palestine, it is actually coordinated in many ways. with gaza and the same is said on behalf of gaza, and the fact that, for example, the question, again, is whether hamas is recognized as a terrorist organization in ukraine, ukraine does not recognize it as a terrorist organization, unlike the eu
