Two state solution

00:00:15.631 --> 00:00:16.765
It's hamas and the militancy.

Just horrified by not only the horrific attacks that
00:04:21.410 --> 00:04:23.378
The horrific attacks that we suffered on 9/11,
00:04:23.445 --> 00:04:26.014
We suffered on 9/11, but how unaware we were
00:04:26.081 --> 00:04:28.250
But how unaware we were at the real disease.
00:04:28.317 --> 00:04:29.685
At the real disease. and al-qaeda, this,

That did what they did, were simply the tip
00:04:36.191 --> 00:04:38.360
Were simply the tip of the iceberg of
00:04:38.427 --> 00:04:39.394
Of the iceberg of a deeper, deeper problem.
00:04:39.461 --> 00:04:41.229
A deeper, deeper problem. and as i understood growing up,
00:04:41.296 --> 00:04:44.866
And as i understood growing up, being a muslim that then
00:04:44.933 --> 00:04:46.868
Being a muslim that then went to college and started
00:04:46.935 --> 00:04:47.703
Went to college and started to realize that i might have
00:04:47.769 --> 00:04:49.738
To realize that i might have my interpretation of islam that
00:04:49.805 --> 00:04:51.540
My interpretation of islam that my parents blessed me with.
00:04:51.606 --> 00:04:53.742
My parents blessed me with. and my father
00:04:53.809 --> 00:04:54.810
And my father translated the quran,
00:04:54.876 --> 00:04:55.811
Translated the quran, and we believe
00:04:55.877 --> 00:04:56.712
And we believe in the authenticity
00:04:56.778 --> 00:04:58.747
In the authenticity of the arabic scripture.
00:04:58.814 --> 00:05:00.182
Of the arabic scripture. i was preserved from that,
00:05:00.248 --> 00:05:01.049
I was preserved from that, but then i go to the college
00:05:01.116 --> 00:05:01.950
But then i go to the college and see the muslim brotherhood
00:05:02.017 --> 00:05:03.185
And see the muslim brotherhood working in the muslim student
00:05:03.251 --> 00:05:04.453
Working in the muslim student association and see a lot
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.288

Commit suicide or all these other nonsense that radicals do.
00:10:17.365 --> 00:10:19.601
Other nonsense that radicals do. it means you do the best you can
00:10:19.668 --> 00:10:21.102
It means you do the best you can to effectuate the gifts that
00:10:21.169 --> 00:10:23.738
To effectuate the gifts that he gives you on this earth.
00:10:23.805 --> 00:10:24.906
He gives you on this earth. so, it's a religion that should
00:10:24.973 --> 00:10:26.841
So, it's a religion that should not have clergy.
00:10:26.908 --> 00:10:28.243
Not have clergy. now, jihad, if you
00:10:28.309 --> 00:10:29.844
Now, jihad, if you look at the time
00:10:29.911 --> 00:10:30.545
Look at the time of the prophet mohammed,
00:10:30.612 --> 00:10:31.846
Of the prophet mohammed, there was no separation
00:10:31.913 --> 00:10:32.747
There was no separation of mosque and state.
00:10:32.814 --> 00:10:33.882
Of mosque and state. he was not only, we'd believe,
00:10:33.948 --> 00:10:35.050
He was not only, we'd believe, a messenger of god, but he was
00:10:35.116 --> 00:10:36.951
A messenger of god, but he was also the head of the military,
00:10:37.018 --> 00:10:39.154
Also the head of the military, and he was the head of state.
00:10:39.220 --> 00:10:40.522
And he was the head of state. so, when you had one individual
00:10:40.588 --> 00:10:41.890
So, when you had one individual that had all three
00:10:41.956 --> 00:10:42.857
That had all three of those characteristics,
00:10:42.924 --> 00:10:45.727
Of those characteristics, it then in some ways
00:10:45.794 --> 00:10:47.929
It then in some ways institutionalizes theocracy.
00:10:47.996 --> 00:10:50.398
Institutionalizes theocracy. that needs reform.
00:10:50.465 --> 00:10:52.100
That needs reform. does islam mean jihad?
00:10:52.167 --> 00:10:53.668
Does islam mean jihad? well, at the time,
00:10:53.735 --> 00:10:54.969
Well, at the time, when you mix those rules --
00:10:55.036 --> 00:10:57.272
When you mix those rules -- i was in the navy.
00:10:57.338 --> 00:10:57.939
I was in the navy. i signed up for
00:10:58.006 --> 00:10:58.773
I signed up for four years in america.
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:00.709
Four years in america. if at the time into
00:11:00.775 --> 00:11:01.443
If at the time into my third year we were
00:11:01.509 --> 00:11:02.410
My third year we were deployed --
00:11:02.477 --> 00:11:02.977
Deployed -- we deployed to somalia and went
00:11:03.044 --> 00:11:04.379
We deployed to somalia and went to operation to restore hope.
00:11:04.446 --> 00:11:05.180
To operation to restore hope. i was on my ship.
00:11:05.246 --> 00:11:06.514
I was on my ship. if we were one
00:11:06.581 --> 00:11:07.182
If we were one and we were in mogadishu,
00:11:07.248 --> 00:11:08.616
And we were in mogadishu, i turn to my ceo and i said,
00:11:08.683 --> 00:11:09.918
I turn to my ceo and i said, "you know, i'm tired.
00:11:09.984 --> 00:11:10.585
"you know, i'm tired. i changed my mind.
00:11:10.652 --> 00:11:12.087
I changed my mind. i'm gonna go work
00:11:12.153 --> 00:11:12.787
I'm gonna go work for ibm instead of working
00:11:12.854 --> 00:11:13.955
For ibm instead of working for the u.s. navy."
00:11:14.022 --> 00:11:15.256
For the u.s. navy." i can't do that.
00:11:15.323 --> 00:11:16.324
I can't do that. you signed up.
00:11:16.391 --> 00:11:17.492
You signed up. it'd be unauthorized absence.
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:19.160
It'd be unauthorized absence. it would be --
00:11:19.227 --> 00:11:19.694
It would be -- you know, if i just left,
00:11:19.761 --> 00:11:20.895
You know, if i just left, i could be put in jail.
00:11:20.962 --> 00:11:22.597
I could be put in jail. you know, and ultimately,
00:11:22.664 --> 00:11:24.165
You know, and ultimately, if you work with the enemy,
00:11:24.232 --> 00:11:25.400
If you work with the enemy, god forbid, it's treason
00:11:25.467 --> 00:11:26.935
God forbid, it's treason and you could be killed.
00:11:27.001 --> 00:11:28.403
And you could be killed. so, islam at the time,
00:11:28.470 --> 00:11:29.938
So, islam at the time, the military,
00:11:30.004 --> 00:11:30.605
The military, if you left the mili --
00:11:30.672 --> 00:11:32.107
If you left the mili -- muslim military,
00:11:32.173 --> 00:11:33.408
Muslim military, you'd be the same thing.
00:11:33.475 --> 00:11:34.442
You'd be the same thing. you'd be killed.
00:11:34.509 --> 00:11:35.076
You'd be killed. the apologist
00:11:35.143 --> 00:11:35.910
The apologist will tell you jihad --
00:11:35.977 --> 00:11:36.778
Will tell you jihad -- and i have friends with
00:11:36.845 --> 00:11:37.712
And i have friends with their first name jihad so it
00:11:37.779 --> 00:11:38.713
Their first name jihad so it can't mean military war.
00:11:38.780 --> 00:11:40.181
Can't mean military war. my friend, jihad, it just simply
00:11:40.248 --> 00:11:41.449
My friend, jihad, it just simply means struggle to get closer
00:11:41.516 --> 00:11:43.585
Means struggle to get closer to god in an apologetic way.
00:11:43.651 --> 00:11:46.221
To god in an apologetic way. realistically from a branding,
00:11:46.287 --> 00:11:48.323
Realistically from a branding, jihad means the adherence
00:11:48.389 --> 00:11:49.824
Jihad means the adherence to a military violent conquest
00:11:49.891 --> 00:11:51.993
To a military violent conquest to advance islamic law globally.
00:11:52.060 --> 00:11:56.030
To advance islamic law globally. so, the jihadist divide
00:11:56.097 --> 00:11:57.398
So, the jihadist divide the world into the land
00:11:57.465 --> 00:11:58.399
The world into the land of islam where muslims are
00:11:58.466 --> 00:11:59.434
Of islam where muslims are a majority and the land of war.
00:11:59.501 --> 00:12:01.903
A majority and the land of war. so, there's no land of peace
00:12:01.970 --> 00:12:04.272
So, there's no land of peace to the jihadist unless
00:12:04.339 --> 00:12:05.173
To the jihadist unless we reform and destroy those
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:06.975
We reform and destroy those ideas intellectually.
00:12:07.041 --> 00:12:07.909
>> announcer: there is
00:12:08.977 --> 00:12:09.377
A way forward,
00:12:09.477 --> 00:12:10.211

00:12:10.311 --> 00:12:11.679

So much for taking the time to be with us today.
00:13:42.303 --> 00:13:43.004
To be with us today. i hope it's the beginning
00:13:43.071 --> 00:13:43.838
I hope it's the beginning of many other visits
00:13:43.905 --> 00:13:45.139
Of many other visits to jewish voice.
00:13:45.206 --> 00:13:46.407
To jewish voice. >> we've heard terms like
00:13:46.474 --> 00:13:47.609
>> we've heard terms like islam, muslim, islamist,
00:13:47.675 --> 00:13:51.579
Islam, muslim, islamist, can you break --
00:13:51.646 --> 00:13:52.180
Can you break -- >> jihadist.
00:13:52.247 --> 00:13:52.547
>> jihadist. >> jihadist.
00:13:52.614 --> 00:13:53.014
>> jihadist. can you break those terms down?
00:13:53.081 --> 00:13:54.749
Can you break those terms down? because i think in many minds
00:13:54.816 --> 00:13:57.285
Because i think in many minds like my own islam is islam
00:13:57.352 --> 00:13:59.220
Like my own islam is islam and within it you've got this
00:13:59.287 --> 00:14:01.022
And within it you've got this whole array of different
00:14:01.089 --> 00:14:03.191
Whole array of different people's expressions.
00:14:03.258 --> 00:14:04.459
People's expressions. but you talk about
00:14:04.525 --> 00:14:05.894
But you talk about the term islamist.
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.028
The term islamist. can you --
00:14:07.095 --> 00:14:07.896
Can you -- can you just explain
00:14:07.962 --> 00:14:08.730
Can you just explain that to us and why
00:14:08.796 --> 00:14:09.797
That to us and why it's important for us
00:14:09.864 --> 00:14:10.665
It's important for us to understand that?
00:14:10.732 --> 00:14:11.299
To understand that? >> that's the whole reason
00:14:11.366 --> 00:14:12.066
>> that's the whole reason we formed the organization,
00:14:12.133 --> 00:14:13.334
We formed the organization, and i think if you
00:14:13.401 --> 00:14:14.068
And i think if you look at my legacy work,
00:14:14.135 --> 00:14:15.703
Look at my legacy work, i think one of my legacies
00:14:15.770 --> 00:14:16.938
I think one of my legacies is gonna be that we were able
00:14:17.005 --> 00:14:18.473
Is gonna be that we were able to shift the conversation
00:14:18.539 --> 00:14:19.974
To shift the conversation in america from being about
00:14:20.041 --> 00:14:21.175
In america from being about terrorism and radicals,
00:14:21.242 --> 00:14:23.011
Terrorism and radicals, you know.
00:14:23.077 --> 00:14:23.978
You know. i remember when i was on
00:14:24.045 --> 00:14:24.712
I remember when i was on glenn beck show, he says,
00:14:24.779 --> 00:14:25.980
Glenn beck show, he says, "zuhdi, you're the radically
00:14:26.047 --> 00:14:26.781
"zuhdi, you're the radically actually."
00:14:26.848 --> 00:14:27.482
Actually." yeah.
00:14:27.548 --> 00:14:28.116
Yeah. "and the other guys
00:14:28.182 --> 00:14:28.616
"and the other guys are sort of running a show."
00:14:28.683 --> 00:14:29.851
Are sort of running a show." and so --
00:14:29.918 --> 00:14:30.451
And so -- >> yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:14:30.518 --> 00:14:30.952
>> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> and i said, "yes."
00:14:31.019 --> 00:14:31.552
>> and i said, "yes." so, i said, "we need to stop
00:14:31.619 --> 00:14:32.420
So, i said, "we need to stop using modern --
00:14:32.487 --> 00:14:33.087
Using modern -- the term modern muslim.
00:14:33.154 --> 00:14:34.322
The term modern muslim. i hate that term."
00:14:34.389 --> 00:14:35.256
I hate that term." what does that even mean?
00:14:35.323 --> 00:14:36.257
What does that even mean? islamist is the correct term
00:14:36.324 --> 00:14:37.959
Islamist is the correct term and the groups like counseling
00:14:38.026 --> 00:14:40.128
And the groups like counseling american islamic relations
00:14:40.194 --> 00:14:41.496
American islamic relations alongside north america,
00:14:41.562 --> 00:14:42.797
Alongside north america, the alphabet soup
00:14:42.864 --> 00:14:43.364
The alphabet soup of muslim groups don't
00:14:43.431 --> 00:14:44.365
Of muslim groups don't want you to use that term.
00:14:44.432 --> 00:14:46.134
Want you to use that term. and my response to them,
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:47.135
And my response to them, as i've testified
00:14:47.201 --> 00:14:48.002
As i've testified at congress is,
00:14:48.069 --> 00:14:48.937
At congress is, that's what they called
00:14:49.003 --> 00:14:49.804
That's what they called themselves in arabic.
00:14:49.871 --> 00:14:50.705
Themselves in arabic. h-a-m-a-s, hamas,
00:14:50.772 --> 00:14:52.407
H-a-m-a-s, hamas, means harakat al-islamiyya
00:14:52.473 --> 00:14:54.409
Means harakat al-islamiyya in arabic which means
00:14:54.475 --> 00:14:55.610
In arabic which means the movement of muslims
00:14:55.677 --> 00:14:58.079
The movement of muslims for political control,
00:14:58.146 --> 00:14:59.147
For political control, for political movements.
00:14:59.213 --> 00:15:00.748
For political movements. so, islamism, just like
00:15:00.815 --> 00:15:02.717
So, islamism, just like socialism versus capitalism,
00:15:02.784 --> 00:15:05.053
Socialism versus capitalism, is about economic ideas.
00:15:05.119 --> 00:15:07.455
Is about economic ideas. political ideas about
00:15:07.522 --> 00:15:08.523
Political ideas about the role of religious identity
00:15:08.589 --> 00:15:10.058
The role of religious identity in the state and in
00:15:10.124 --> 00:15:11.426
In the state and in the legal system
00:15:11.492 --> 00:15:12.827
The legal system is islamic movements.
00:15:12.894 --> 00:15:14.629
Is islamic movements. so, the instrument for islamist
00:15:14.696 --> 00:15:16.965
So, the instrument for islamist is the legal system of islam
00:15:17.031 --> 00:15:19.000
Is the legal system of islam or islamic jewish prudence
00:15:19.067 --> 00:15:20.668
Or islamic jewish prudence versus the secular parties
00:15:20.735 --> 00:15:22.337
Versus the secular parties and other parties,
00:15:22.403 --> 00:15:23.104
And other parties, the communists,
00:15:23.171 --> 00:15:23.905
The communists, and others that exist in
00:15:23.972 --> 00:15:24.839
And others that exist in the middle east are not about
00:15:24.906 --> 00:15:26.074
The middle east are not about islamic law and islamic rules.
00:15:26.140 --> 00:15:28.109
Islamic law and islamic rules. >> but they're not
00:15:28.176 --> 00:15:28.743
>> but they're not all terrorists?
00:15:28.810 --> 00:15:29.344
All terrorists? jihadists are not
00:15:29.410 --> 00:15:29.944
Jihadists are not all terrorists.
00:15:30.011 --> 00:15:30.445
All terrorists. >> that's why i don't like
00:15:30.511 --> 00:15:31.245
>> that's why i don't like that term because terrorism
00:15:31.312 --> 00:15:32.880
That term because terrorism is simply the belief that
00:15:32.947 --> 00:15:34.549
Is simply the belief that noncombatants can be targeted,
00:15:34.615 --> 00:15:36.351
Noncombatants can be targeted, all that kind of stuff.
00:15:36.417 --> 00:15:37.652
All that kind of stuff. but the ends of trying
00:15:37.719 --> 00:15:39.087
But the ends of trying to put it into place,
00:15:39.153 --> 00:15:40.521
To put it into place, you know, they'll say --
00:15:40.588 --> 00:15:41.155
You know, they'll say -- for example when they debated
00:15:41.222 --> 00:15:41.889
For example when they debated that imam here locally,
00:15:41.956 --> 00:15:43.091
That imam here locally, he said, "well, if muslims are
00:15:43.157 --> 00:15:44.058
He said, "well, if muslims are a majority, we have a right
00:15:44.125 --> 00:15:45.426
A majority, we have a right to then vote in, in egypt
00:15:45.493 --> 00:15:47.595
To then vote in, in egypt or elsewhere, islamic law."
00:15:47.662 --> 00:15:49.330
Or elsewhere, islamic law." and i'm like, "no, you don't.
00:15:49.397 --> 00:15:50.898
And i'm like, "no, you don't. that's called mobocracy.
00:15:50.965 --> 00:15:52.433
That's called mobocracy. that's a majoritocracy.
00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:54.102
That's a majoritocracy. that's not liberalism."
00:15:54.168 --> 00:15:55.636
That's not liberalism." the fact that makes america
00:15:55.703 --> 00:15:57.038
The fact that makes america america is that we can't
00:15:57.105 --> 00:15:57.939
America is that we can't be taken over by
00:15:58.006 --> 00:15:59.107
Be taken over by a majority that's loose,
00:15:59.173 --> 00:16:00.742
A majority that's loose, that ultimately
00:16:00.808 --> 00:16:01.376
That ultimately the supreme court has
00:16:01.442 --> 00:16:02.477
The supreme court has the final rule of the land,
00:16:02.543 --> 00:16:04.512
The final rule of the land, not the 50 plus --
00:16:04.579 --> 00:16:05.279
Not the 50 plus -- 50% plus one vote that would be
00:16:05.346 --> 00:16:08.349
50% plus one vote that would be like as ben franklin said,
00:16:08.416 --> 00:16:09.984
Like as ben franklin said, "three wolves and a sheep
00:16:10.051 --> 00:16:10.785
"three wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner."
00:16:10.852 --> 00:16:11.986
[laughter]
00:16:12.286 --> 00:16:12.653
And that's how hamas
00:16:12.920 --> 00:16:13.588
And that's how hamas got elected basically.
00:16:13.654 --> 00:16:15.189
Got elected basically. and that's how a lot
00:16:15.256 --> 00:16:15.857
And that's how a lot of these parties --
00:16:15.923 --> 00:16:16.391
Of these parties -- so, islamism is
00:16:16.457 --> 00:16:17.658
So, islamism is the desire through
00:16:17.725 --> 00:16:18.760
The desire through populous movements,
00:16:18.826 --> 00:16:20.395
Populous movements, through viral movements,
00:16:20.461 --> 00:16:21.562
Through viral movements, to put into place
00:16:21.629 --> 00:16:23.131
To put into place islamic dominance in areas
00:16:23.197 --> 00:16:25.033
Islamic dominance in areas where muslims are a majority.
00:16:25.099 --> 00:16:26.834
Where muslims are a majority. they're not seeking
00:16:26.901 --> 00:16:27.435
They're not seeking to take over the west,
00:16:27.502 --> 00:16:28.703
To take over the west, but they do wanna weaken
00:16:28.770 --> 00:16:29.771
But they do wanna weaken and make the west impotent
00:16:29.837 --> 00:16:31.873
And make the west impotent to affecting muslim world,
00:16:31.939 --> 00:16:33.641
To affecting muslim world, muslim ethics.
00:16:33.708 --> 00:16:34.275
Muslim ethics. >> so, let me use
00:16:34.342 --> 00:16:34.876
>> so, let me use the terminology correctly.
00:16:34.942 --> 00:16:35.643
The terminology correctly. islamist...
00:16:35.710 --> 00:16:36.577
Islamist... >> yeah.
00:16:36.644 --> 00:16:37.278
>> yeah. >> nations.
00:16:37.345 --> 00:16:38.112
>> nations. >> yes.
00:16:38.179 --> 00:16:38.946
>> yes. >> which are committed
00:16:39.013 --> 00:16:39.680
>> which are committed to the destruction
00:16:39.747 --> 00:16:41.015
To the destruction of the infidel.
00:16:41.082 --> 00:16:41.816
Of the infidel. >> mhmm.
00:16:41.883 --> 00:16:42.750
>> mhmm. >> which begins
00:16:42.817 --> 00:16:43.217
>> which begins with israel because
00:16:43.284 --> 00:16:44.419
With israel because they're in the territory
00:16:44.485 --> 00:16:46.120
They're in the territory and ultimately the west.
00:16:46.187 --> 00:16:47.355
And ultimately the west. >> yes.
00:16:47.422 --> 00:16:47.722
>> yes. >> right?
00:16:47.789 --> 00:16:48.256
>> right? that's why i've heard
00:16:48.322 --> 00:16:49.457
That's why i've heard netanyahu referred to israel as
00:16:49.524 --> 00:16:52.060
Netanyahu referred to israel as the little satan and america
00:16:52.126 --> 00:16:53.428
The little satan and america is the big satan.
00:16:53.494 --> 00:16:54.295
Is the big satan. >> yeah.
00:16:54.362 --> 00:16:55.096
>> yeah. >> do you feel like there can be
00:16:55.163 --> 00:16:57.932
>> do you feel like there can be peace in the middle east?
00:16:57.999 --> 00:16:59.567
Peace in the middle east? like, do you have
00:16:59.634 --> 00:17:00.234
Like, do you have a hope for that?
00:17:00.301 --> 00:17:01.102
A hope for that? it seems like an utterly
00:17:01.169 --> 00:17:01.936
It seems like an utterly impossible situation the thought
00:17:02.003 --> 00:17:04.605
Impossible situation the thought of a two state solution.
00:17:04.672 --> 00:17:06.274
Of a two state solution. is that something?
00:17:06.340 --> 00:17:07.775
Is that something? like, how do you view --
00:17:07.842 --> 00:17:09.777
Like, how do you view -- what has to happen over there
00:17:09.844 --> 00:17:11.245
What has to happen over there for there to be peace?
00:17:11.312 --> 00:17:12.013
For there to be peace? >> so, there's two answers
00:17:12.080 --> 00:17:13.114
>> so, there's two answers toward peace in the middle east.
00:17:13.181 --> 00:17:14.615
Toward peace in the middle east. one is the future protection
00:17:14.682 --> 00:17:16.084
One is the future protection of israel and two is
00:17:16.150 --> 00:17:17.885
Of israel and two is every different nation state
00:17:17.952 --> 00:17:19.454
Every different nation state in the middle east and how
00:17:19.520 --> 00:17:20.321
In the middle east and how they're going to evolve.
00:17:20.388 --> 00:17:22.390
They're going to evolve. but in israel, the only way
00:17:22.457 --> 00:17:25.393
But in israel, the only way to peace in israel is when
00:17:25.460 --> 00:17:26.727
To peace in israel is when the palestinians give us
00:17:26.794 --> 00:17:27.929
The palestinians give us an unconditional surrender.
00:17:27.995 --> 00:17:29.797
An unconditional surrender. that's the only way.
00:17:29.864 --> 00:17:30.698
That's the only way. just to constantly
00:17:30.765 --> 00:17:32.100
Just to constantly war after war and then have
00:17:32.166 --> 00:17:33.668
War after war and then have a moral equivalency where they
00:17:33.734 --> 00:17:35.069
A moral equivalency where they do what they did on october 7,
00:17:35.136 --> 00:17:36.904
Do what they did on october 7, and then a month later the u.n.,
00:17:36.971 --> 00:17:38.539
And then a month later the u.n., and western universities,
00:17:38.606 --> 00:17:39.574
And western universities, and other are talking
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:40.441
And other are talking about the crimes against
00:17:40.508 --> 00:17:42.376
About the crimes against humanity that israel did.
00:17:42.443 --> 00:17:44.045
Humanity that israel did. and you litigant who happens
00:17:44.112 --> 00:17:46.314
And you litigant who happens to be muslim at the eus
00:17:46.380 --> 00:17:48.082
To be muslim at the eus is an islamist tried to bring
00:17:48.149 --> 00:17:50.284
Is an islamist tried to bring prime minister netanyahu
00:17:50.351 --> 00:17:52.753
Prime minister netanyahu unto a war crimes tribunal.
00:17:52.820 --> 00:17:54.388
Unto a war crimes tribunal. and president trump
00:17:54.455 --> 00:17:55.423
And president trump now appropriately is going
00:17:55.490 --> 00:17:56.958
Now appropriately is going to take our fundings away
00:17:57.024 --> 00:17:58.659
To take our fundings away from that entire process
00:17:58.726 --> 00:18:00.428
From that entire process because the u.n. contrary
00:18:00.495 --> 00:18:03.498
Because the u.n. contrary to what eleanor roosevelt
00:18:03.564 --> 00:18:04.599
To what eleanor roosevelt had envisioned,
00:18:04.665 --> 00:18:05.500
Had envisioned, has become basically
00:18:05.566 --> 00:18:06.567
Has become basically a league of dictatorships
00:18:06.634 --> 00:18:08.035
A league of dictatorships against the west.
00:18:08.102 --> 00:18:09.303
Against the west. and that little,
00:18:09.370 --> 00:18:10.071
And that little, small state is the focus
00:18:10.138 --> 00:18:11.305
Small state is the focus of over half of their time,
00:18:11.372 --> 00:18:13.374
Of over half of their time, be -- and they don't
00:18:13.441 --> 00:18:14.041
Be -- and they don't care about china.
00:18:14.108 --> 00:18:14.642
Care about china. they don't care about what
00:18:14.709 --> 00:18:15.643
They don't care about what china is doing to the uyghurs
00:18:15.710 --> 00:18:16.511
China is doing to the uyghurs or what's happening
00:18:16.577 --> 00:18:17.812
Or what's happening in russia or elsewhere.
00:18:17.879 --> 00:18:19.147
In russia or elsewhere. >> they don't care
00:18:19.213 --> 00:18:19.747
>> they don't care about north korea.
00:18:19.814 --> 00:18:21.182
About north korea. they don't care about iran.
00:18:21.249 --> 00:18:22.683
They don't care about iran. they just sanctioned israel.
00:18:22.750 --> 00:18:23.918
They just sanctioned israel. >> because it's a dictator's
00:18:23.985 --> 00:18:28.356
>> because it's a dictator's club against the folks
00:18:28.422 --> 00:18:30.658
Club against the folks that would try --
00:18:30.725 --> 00:18:31.359
That would try -- that would actually be
00:18:31.425 --> 00:18:32.426
That would actually be the ones to facilitate their
00:18:32.493 --> 00:18:33.728
The ones to facilitate their own weakness into actually
00:18:33.794 --> 00:18:36.030
Own weakness into actually be anti-china, anti-putin.
00:18:36.097 --> 00:18:38.766
Be anti-china, anti-putin. all of the evil actors, say,
00:18:38.833 --> 00:18:40.801
All of the evil actors, say, "hey, the way to prevent
00:18:40.868 --> 00:18:42.436
"hey, the way to prevent the u.n. from actually
00:18:42.503 --> 00:18:43.838
The u.n. from actually exposing who we are,"
00:18:43.905 --> 00:18:44.572
Exposing who we are," and that's why president trump
00:18:44.639 --> 00:18:45.506
And that's why president trump appropriately pulled
00:18:45.573 --> 00:18:46.941
Appropriately pulled out of human --
00:18:47.008 --> 00:18:48.009
Out of human -- the façade of the human rights
00:18:48.075 --> 00:18:49.410
The façade of the human rights council that is in the u.n.
00:18:49.477 --> 00:18:51.579
Council that is in the u.n. is it's simply a con-operation
00:18:51.646 --> 00:18:54.849
Is it's simply a con-operation that's happening and we
00:18:54.916 --> 00:18:55.683
That's happening and we shouldn't be funding it.
00:18:55.750 --> 00:18:56.884
Shouldn't be funding it. >> well, let's fo --
00:18:56.951 --> 00:18:57.885
>> well, let's fo -- we just have a little time left,
00:18:57.952 --> 00:18:58.986
We just have a little time left, let's talk about
00:18:59.053 --> 00:18:59.687
Let's talk about the two states' solution.
00:18:59.754 --> 00:19:01.189
The two states' solution. i just heard
00:19:01.255 --> 00:19:02.657
I just heard economist jeffery sachs,
00:19:02.723 --> 00:19:04.225
Economist jeffery sachs, very influential economist
00:19:04.292 --> 00:19:06.427
Very influential economist saying that the only solution
00:19:06.494 --> 00:19:07.962
Saying that the only solution is a two state solution,
00:19:08.029 --> 00:19:10.131
Is a two state solution, and israel going back
00:19:10.198 --> 00:19:11.432
And israel going back to the pre '67 borders.
00:19:11.499 --> 00:19:13.301
To the pre '67 borders. what's your thoughts on this?
00:19:13.367 --> 00:19:14.535
What's your thoughts on this? >> most of us in this community
00:19:14.602 --> 00:19:16.504
>> most of us in this community that i've been talking
00:19:16.571 --> 00:19:17.104
That i've been talking about debate, debating,
00:19:17.171 --> 00:19:19.006
About debate, debating, which should be the way forward.
00:19:19.073 --> 00:19:20.308
Which should be the way forward. even my friends
00:19:20.374 --> 00:19:21.075
Even my friends at the foundation
00:19:21.142 --> 00:19:21.642
At the foundation for defense of democracy,
00:19:21.709 --> 00:19:22.710
For defense of democracy, if you look at mr. goldberg
00:19:22.777 --> 00:19:25.012
If you look at mr. goldberg there who's running that,
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:26.347
There who's running that, he talked about
00:19:26.414 --> 00:19:26.914
He talked about two state solution,
00:19:26.981 --> 00:19:27.682
Two state solution, and last week came out
00:19:27.748 --> 00:19:28.783
And last week came out and said he apologized
00:19:28.849 --> 00:19:30.351
And said he apologized to the jewish community,
00:19:30.418 --> 00:19:31.419
To the jewish community, and said,
00:19:31.485 --> 00:19:32.353
And said, "we've been very forthright
00:19:32.420 --> 00:19:34.055
"we've been very forthright about the need for some
00:19:34.121 --> 00:19:35.990
About the need for some identification there."
00:19:36.057 --> 00:19:36.991
Identification there." and fdd is very, you know,
00:19:37.058 --> 00:19:38.693
And fdd is very, you know, upfront on these issues.
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.095
Upfront on these issues. and he apologized for supporting
00:19:41.162 --> 00:19:42.597
And he apologized for supporting two states solution
00:19:42.663 --> 00:19:43.364
Two states solution and he said what i've been
00:19:43.431 --> 00:19:44.398
And he said what i've been saying for a long time.
00:19:44.465 --> 00:19:45.633
Saying for a long time. is that imagine syria was not a
00:19:45.700 --> 00:19:47.935
Is that imagine syria was not a state and assad was running it,
00:19:48.002 --> 00:19:51.339
State and assad was running it, and would you give them
00:19:51.405 --> 00:19:53.541
And would you give them the right to a state?
00:19:53.608 --> 00:19:55.209
The right to a state? no.
00:19:55.276 --> 00:19:56.210
No. not with assad running it
00:19:56.277 --> 00:19:57.044
Not with assad running it and not with 30 years of --
00:19:57.111 --> 00:19:58.713
And not with 30 years of -- or 40 years of baathism
00:19:58.779 --> 00:19:59.947
Or 40 years of baathism which is incompatible
00:20:00.014 --> 00:20:01.916
Which is incompatible with human rights
00:20:01.983 --> 00:20:02.550
With human rights domestically and globally.
00:20:02.617 --> 00:20:04.518
Domestically and globally. so, the palestinians have
00:20:04.585 --> 00:20:07.154
So, the palestinians have to first surrender that
00:20:07.221 --> 00:20:08.923
To first surrender that they are going to not only
00:20:08.990 --> 00:20:10.057
They are going to not only rid themselves of hamas,
00:20:10.124 --> 00:20:11.692
Rid themselves of hamas, but the ideologies
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:12.727
But the ideologies that create hamas.
00:20:12.793 --> 00:20:14.895
That create hamas. so --
00:20:14.962 --> 00:20:15.263
So -- >> genocide actually, to push
00:20:15.329 --> 00:20:16.464
>> genocide actually, to push israel into the state.
00:20:16.530 --> 00:20:17.531
Israel into the state. >> exactly.
00:20:17.598 --> 00:20:18.132
>> exactly. i wanna disrupt this
00:20:18.199 --> 00:20:20.568
I wanna disrupt this dialogue about two states.
00:20:20.635 --> 00:20:22.069
Dialogue about two states. why do we keep using
00:20:22.136 --> 00:20:22.937
Why do we keep using the old technology?
00:20:23.004 --> 00:20:23.738
The old technology? two state solution
00:20:23.804 --> 00:20:24.772
Two state solution is an old technology.
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:26.607
Is an old technology. 21st century technology
00:20:26.674 --> 00:20:28.242
21st century technology of discussing solutions
00:20:28.309 --> 00:20:29.443
Of discussing solutions in the middle east is looking
00:20:29.510 --> 00:20:31.445
In the middle east is looking at a way forward, a pathway,
00:20:31.512 --> 00:20:34.315
At a way forward, a pathway, that doesn't talk about
00:20:34.382 --> 00:20:35.349
That doesn't talk about state yet.
00:20:35.416 --> 00:20:35.983
State yet. they haven't earned that.
00:20:36.050 --> 00:20:37.485
They haven't earned that. when we were in
00:20:37.551 --> 00:20:38.286
When we were in the colony's era in america,
00:20:38.352 --> 00:20:40.421
The colony's era in america, nobody was talking about
00:20:40.488 --> 00:20:41.422
Nobody was talking about the united states of america.
00:20:41.489 --> 00:20:42.757
The united states of america. they hadn't had
00:20:42.823 --> 00:20:43.257
They hadn't had the technology yet.
00:20:43.324 --> 00:20:44.358
The technology yet. they got together.
00:20:44.425 --> 00:20:45.159
They got together. we had the constitutional
00:20:45.226 --> 00:20:45.993
We had the constitutional convention in 1789,
00:20:46.060 --> 00:20:48.729
Convention in 1789, 13 years after 1776.
00:20:48.796 --> 00:20:51.165
13 years after 1776. so, if the palestinians
00:20:51.232 --> 00:20:52.700
So, if the palestinians are gonna have their liberation
00:20:52.767 --> 00:20:53.868
Are gonna have their liberation moment against their rulers,
00:20:53.934 --> 00:20:55.770
Moment against their rulers, which is not israel,
00:20:55.836 --> 00:20:56.704
Which is not israel, they first have to acknowledge
00:20:56.771 --> 00:20:57.738
They first have to acknowledge that israel is not
00:20:57.805 --> 00:20:58.439
That israel is not their problem.
00:20:58.506 --> 00:20:59.507
Their problem. it's hamas and the militancy.
00:20:59.573 --> 00:21:01.609
It's hamas and the militancy. don't rebuild it and allow it
00:21:01.676 --> 00:21:03.177
Don't rebuild it and allow it to being rebuilt until
00:21:03.244 --> 00:21:05.379
To being rebuilt until we secure an
00:21:05.446 --> 00:21:05.980
We secure an unconditional surrender.
00:21:06.047 --> 00:21:06.981
Unconditional surrender. >> wow.
00:21:07.048 --> 00:21:07.748
>> wow. that is such a great point.
00:21:07.815 --> 00:21:10.217
That is such a great point. gaza was in attempt to be
00:21:10.284 --> 00:21:12.353
Gaza was in attempt to be at peace and give them autonomy,
00:21:12.420 --> 00:21:15.122
At peace and give them autonomy, but they just made it
00:21:15.189 --> 00:21:16.023
But they just made it into a staging ground
00:21:16.090 --> 00:21:16.991
Into a staging ground for missile attacks.
00:21:17.058 --> 00:21:18.125
For missile attacks. it just didn't work.
00:21:18.192 --> 00:21:19.093
It just didn't work. so, really, the leadership
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:20.394
So, really, the leadership has to be completely changed
00:21:20.461 --> 00:21:21.996
Has to be completely changed and there needs to be
00:21:22.063 --> 00:21:22.763
And there needs to be a system of reeducation
00:21:22.830 --> 00:21:24.065
A system of reeducation of the palestinians.
00:21:24.131 --> 00:21:25.333
Of the palestinians. >> hamas has to be thrown away.
00:21:25.399 --> 00:21:27.234
>> hamas has to be thrown away. the process of developing
00:21:27.301 --> 00:21:28.836
The process of developing who their new leadership
00:21:28.903 --> 00:21:29.804
Who their new leadership has to have a vetting process
00:21:29.870 --> 00:21:31.772
Has to have a vetting process to where they can accept
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:33.341
To where they can accept that western values
00:21:33.407 --> 00:21:34.275
That western values or their mantra, if you will,
00:21:34.342 --> 00:21:36.677
Or their mantra, if you will, and a recognition
00:21:36.744 --> 00:21:38.112
And a recognition of respect of equality,
00:21:38.179 --> 00:21:39.947
Of respect of equality, that there's no
00:21:40.014 --> 00:21:40.848
That there's no moral equivalency between israel
00:21:40.915 --> 00:21:42.350
Moral equivalency between israel defending itself versus terror
00:21:42.416 --> 00:21:45.453
Defending itself versus terror against noncombatants,
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:47.188
Against noncombatants, and children, and women,
00:21:47.254 --> 00:21:48.189
And children, and women, and elderly.
00:21:48.255 --> 00:21:48.956
And elderly. that's just incomparable.
00:21:49.023 --> 00:21:50.858
That's just incomparable. i'm not saying that
00:21:50.925 --> 00:21:51.659
I'm not saying that there haven't been innocent
00:21:51.726 --> 00:21:52.827
There haven't been innocent killed in gaza,
00:21:52.893 --> 00:21:53.561
Killed in gaza, and i wish there was a way
00:21:53.627 --> 00:21:54.862
And i wish there was a way that could have been prevented
00:21:54.929 --> 00:21:56.063
That could have been prevented just as i do in japan
00:21:56.130 --> 00:21:57.932
Just as i do in japan in world war ii or in germany.
00:21:57.998 --> 00:21:59.567
In world war ii or in germany. but unfortunately, this is a war
00:21:59.633 --> 00:22:02.002
But unfortunately, this is a war that hamas declared on october 7
00:22:02.069 --> 00:22:03.671
That hamas declared on october 7 and every year before it.
00:22:03.738 --> 00:22:05.306
And every year before it. and as they built these tunnels,
00:22:05.373 --> 00:22:06.741
And as they built these tunnels, it was a process in which
00:22:06.807 --> 00:22:08.542
It was a process in which they used innocent people
00:22:08.609 --> 00:22:09.877
They used innocent people as shields and use them
00:22:09.944 --> 00:22:11.712
As shields and use them as guards for attacks that
00:22:11.779 --> 00:22:14.915
As guards for attacks that they did against israel.
00:22:14.982 --> 00:22:17.184
They did against israel. so, you know,
00:22:17.251 --> 00:22:18.085
So, you know, as we look forward,
00:22:18.152 --> 00:22:20.454
As we look forward, every freedom
00:22:20.521 --> 00:22:21.355
Every freedom has come at a price.
00:22:21.422 --> 00:22:22.623
Has come at a price. and i hope
00:22:22.690 --> 00:22:23.624
And i hope the palestinian community
00:22:23.691 --> 00:22:24.692
The palestinian community and those of us that
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:25.726
And those of us that believe in reformation
00:22:25.793 --> 00:22:27.628
Believe in reformation within islam can say that,
00:22:27.695 --> 00:22:29.630
Within islam can say that, "okay, we need to advocate for
00:22:29.697 --> 00:22:32.800
"okay, we need to advocate for values that are consistent
00:22:32.867 --> 00:22:35.770
Values that are consistent and transparent."
00:22:35.836 --> 00:22:37.738
And transparent." >> dr. jasser,
