Two state solution

00:00:15.632 --> 00:00:16.766
It's hamas and the militancy.

So, after 9/11 i was just horrified by not only
00:04:18.608 --> 00:04:21.344
Just horrified by not only the horrific attacks that
00:04:21.411 --> 00:04:23.379
The horrific attacks that we suffered on 9/11,
00:04:23.446 --> 00:04:26.015
We suffered on 9/11, but how unaware we were
00:04:26.082 --> 00:04:28.251
But how unaware we were at the real disease.
00:04:28.318 --> 00:04:29.686
At the real disease. and al-qaeda, this,
00:04:29.752 --> 00:04:32.355
And al-qaeda, this, you know, 11 operatives
00:04:32.422 --> 00:04:33.656
You know, 11 operatives that did what they did,
00:04:33.723 --> 00:04:36.125
That did what they did, were simply the tip
00:04:36.192 --> 00:04:38.361
Were simply the tip of the iceberg of
00:04:38.428 --> 00:04:39.395
Of the iceberg of a deeper, deeper problem.
00:04:39.462 --> 00:04:41.230
A deeper, deeper problem. and as i understood growing up,
00:04:41.297 --> 00:04:44.867
And as i understood growing up, being a muslim that then
00:04:44.934 --> 00:04:46.869
Being a muslim that then went to college and started
00:04:46.936 --> 00:04:47.704
Went to college and started to realize that i might have
00:04:47.770 --> 00:04:49.739
To realize that i might have my interpretation of islam that
00:04:49.806 --> 00:04:51.541
My interpretation of islam that my parents blessed me with.
00:04:51.607 --> 00:04:53.743
My parents blessed me with. and my father
00:04:53.810 --> 00:04:54.811
And my father translated the quran,
00:04:54.877 --> 00:04:55.812
Translated the quran, and we believe
00:04:55.878 --> 00:04:56.713
And we believe in the authenticity
00:04:56.779 --> 00:04:58.748
In the authenticity of the arabic scripture.
00:04:58.815 --> 00:05:00.183
Of the arabic scripture. i was preserved from that,
00:05:00.249 --> 00:05:01.050
I was preserved from that, but then i go to the college
00:05:01.117 --> 00:05:01.951
But then i go to the college and see the muslim brotherhood
00:05:02.018 --> 00:05:03.186
And see the muslim brotherhood working in the muslim student
00:05:03.252 --> 00:05:04.454
Working in the muslim student association and see a lot

00:10:15.998 --> 00:10:17.299
Commit suicide or all these other nonsense that radicals do.
00:10:17.366 --> 00:10:19.602
Other nonsense that radicals do. it means you do the best you can
00:10:19.669 --> 00:10:21.103
It means you do the best you can to effectuate the gifts that
00:10:21.170 --> 00:10:23.739
To effectuate the gifts that he gives you on this earth.
00:10:23.806 --> 00:10:24.907
He gives you on this earth. so, it's a religion that should
00:10:24.974 --> 00:10:26.842
So, it's a religion that should not have clergy.
00:10:26.909 --> 00:10:28.244
Not have clergy. now, jihad, if you
00:10:28.310 --> 00:10:29.845
Now, jihad, if you look at the time
00:10:29.912 --> 00:10:30.546
Look at the time of the prophet mohammed,
00:10:30.613 --> 00:10:31.847
Of the prophet mohammed, there was no separation
00:10:31.914 --> 00:10:32.748
There was no separation of mosque and state.
00:10:32.815 --> 00:10:33.883
Of mosque and state. he was not only, we'd believe,
00:10:33.949 --> 00:10:35.051
He was not only, we'd believe, a messenger of god, but he was
00:10:35.117 --> 00:10:36.952
A messenger of god, but he was also the head of the military,
00:10:37.019 --> 00:10:39.155
Also the head of the military, and he was the head of state.
00:10:39.221 --> 00:10:40.523
And he was the head of state. so, when you had one individual
00:10:40.589 --> 00:10:41.891
So, when you had one individual that had all three
00:10:41.957 --> 00:10:42.858
That had all three of those characteristics,
00:10:42.925 --> 00:10:45.728
Of those characteristics, it then in some ways
00:10:45.795 --> 00:10:47.930
It then in some ways institutionalizes theocracy.
00:10:47.997 --> 00:10:50.399
Institutionalizes theocracy. that needs reform.
00:10:50.466 --> 00:10:52.101
That needs reform. does islam mean jihad?
00:10:52.168 --> 00:10:53.669
Does islam mean jihad? well, at the time,
00:10:53.736 --> 00:10:54.970
Well, at the time, when you mix those rules --
00:10:55.037 --> 00:10:57.273
When you mix those rules -- i was in the navy.
00:10:57.339 --> 00:10:57.940
I was in the navy. i signed up for
00:10:58.007 --> 00:10:58.774
I signed up for four years in america.
00:10:58.841 --> 00:11:00.710
Four years in america. if at the time into
00:11:00.776 --> 00:11:01.444
If at the time into my third year we were
00:11:01.510 --> 00:11:02.411
My third year we were deployed --
00:11:02.478 --> 00:11:02.978
Deployed -- we deployed to somalia and went
00:11:03.045 --> 00:11:04.380
We deployed to somalia and went to operation to restore hope.
00:11:04.447 --> 00:11:05.181
To operation to restore hope. i was on my ship.
00:11:05.247 --> 00:11:06.515
I was on my ship. if we were one
00:11:06.582 --> 00:11:07.183
If we were one and we were in mogadishu,
00:11:07.249 --> 00:11:08.617
And we were in mogadishu, i turn to my ceo and i said,
00:11:08.684 --> 00:11:09.919
I turn to my ceo and i said, "you know, i'm tired.
00:11:09.985 --> 00:11:10.586
"you know, i'm tired. i changed my mind.
00:11:10.653 --> 00:11:12.088
I changed my mind. i'm gonna go work
00:11:12.154 --> 00:11:12.788
I'm gonna go work for ibm instead of working
00:11:12.855 --> 00:11:13.956
For ibm instead of working for the u.s. navy."
00:11:14.023 --> 00:11:15.257
For the u.s. navy." i can't do that.
00:11:15.324 --> 00:11:16.325
I can't do that. you signed up.
00:11:16.392 --> 00:11:17.493
You signed up. it'd be unauthorized absence.
00:11:17.560 --> 00:11:19.161
It'd be unauthorized absence. it would be --
00:11:19.228 --> 00:11:19.695
It would be -- you know, if i just left,
00:11:19.762 --> 00:11:20.896
You know, if i just left, i could be put in jail.
00:11:20.963 --> 00:11:22.598
I could be put in jail. you know, and ultimately,
00:11:22.665 --> 00:11:24.166
You know, and ultimately, if you work with the enemy,
00:11:24.233 --> 00:11:25.401
If you work with the enemy, god forbid, it's treason
00:11:25.468 --> 00:11:26.936
God forbid, it's treason and you could be killed.
00:11:27.002 --> 00:11:28.404
And you could be killed. so, islam at the time,
00:11:28.471 --> 00:11:29.939
So, islam at the time, the military,
00:11:30.005 --> 00:11:30.606
The military, if you left the mili --
00:11:30.673 --> 00:11:32.108
If you left the mili -- muslim military,
00:11:32.174 --> 00:11:33.409
Muslim military, you'd be the same thing.
00:11:33.476 --> 00:11:34.443
You'd be the same thing. you'd be killed.
00:11:34.510 --> 00:11:35.077
You'd be killed. the apologist
00:11:35.144 --> 00:11:35.911
The apologist will tell you jihad --
00:11:35.978 --> 00:11:36.779
Will tell you jihad -- and i have friends with
00:11:36.846 --> 00:11:37.713
And i have friends with their first name jihad so it
00:11:37.780 --> 00:11:38.714
Their first name jihad so it can't mean military war.
00:11:38.781 --> 00:11:40.182
Can't mean military war. my friend, jihad, it just simply
00:11:40.249 --> 00:11:41.450
My friend, jihad, it just simply means struggle to get closer
00:11:41.517 --> 00:11:43.586
Means struggle to get closer to god in an apologetic way.
00:11:43.652 --> 00:11:46.222
To god in an apologetic way. realistically from a branding,
00:11:46.288 --> 00:11:48.324
Realistically from a branding, jihad means the adherence
00:11:48.390 --> 00:11:49.825
Jihad means the adherence to a military violent conquest
00:11:49.892 --> 00:11:51.994
To a military violent conquest to advance islamic law globally.
00:11:52.061 --> 00:11:56.031
To advance islamic law globally. so, the jihadist divide
00:11:56.098 --> 00:11:57.399
So, the jihadist divide the world into the land
00:11:57.466 --> 00:11:58.400
The world into the land of islam where muslims are
00:11:58.467 --> 00:11:59.435
Of islam where muslims are a majority and the land of war.
00:11:59.502 --> 00:12:01.904
A majority and the land of war. so, there's no land of peace
00:12:01.971 --> 00:12:04.273
So, there's no land of peace to the jihadist unless
00:12:04.340 --> 00:12:05.174
To the jihadist unless we reform and destroy those
00:12:05.241 --> 00:12:06.976
We reform and destroy those ideas intellectually.
00:12:07.042 --> 00:12:07.910
>> announcer: there is
00:12:08.978 --> 00:12:09.378
A way forward,
00:12:09.478 --> 00:12:10.212

00:12:10.312 --> 00:12:11.680

So much for taking the time to be with us today.
00:13:42.304 --> 00:13:43.005
To be with us today. i hope it's the beginning
00:13:43.072 --> 00:13:43.839
I hope it's the beginning of many other visits
00:13:43.906 --> 00:13:45.140
Of many other visits to jewish voice.
00:13:45.207 --> 00:13:46.408
To jewish voice. >> we've heard terms like
00:13:46.475 --> 00:13:47.610
>> we've heard terms like islam, muslim, islamist,
00:13:47.676 --> 00:13:51.580
Islam, muslim, islamist, can you break --
00:13:51.647 --> 00:13:52.181
Can you break -- >> jihadist.
00:13:52.248 --> 00:13:52.548
>> jihadist. >> jihadist.
00:13:52.615 --> 00:13:53.015
>> jihadist. can you break those terms down?
00:13:53.082 --> 00:13:54.750
Can you break those terms down? because i think in many minds
00:13:54.817 --> 00:13:57.286
Because i think in many minds like my own islam is islam
00:13:57.353 --> 00:13:59.221
Like my own islam is islam and within it you've got this
00:13:59.288 --> 00:14:01.023
And within it you've got this whole array of different
00:14:01.090 --> 00:14:03.192
Whole array of different people's expressions.
00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:04.460
People's expressions. but you talk about
00:14:04.526 --> 00:14:05.895
But you talk about the term islamist.
00:14:05.961 --> 00:14:07.029
The term islamist. can you --
00:14:07.096 --> 00:14:07.897
Can you -- can you just explain
00:14:07.963 --> 00:14:08.731
Can you just explain that to us and why
00:14:08.797 --> 00:14:09.798
That to us and why it's important for us
00:14:09.865 --> 00:14:10.666
It's important for us to understand that?
00:14:10.733 --> 00:14:11.300
To understand that? >> that's the whole reason
00:14:11.367 --> 00:14:12.067
>> that's the whole reason we formed the organization,
00:14:12.134 --> 00:14:13.335
We formed the organization, and i think if you
00:14:13.402 --> 00:14:14.069
And i think if you look at my legacy work,
00:14:14.136 --> 00:14:15.704
Look at my legacy work, i think one of my legacies
00:14:15.771 --> 00:14:16.939
I think one of my legacies is gonna be that we were able
00:14:17.006 --> 00:14:18.474
Is gonna be that we were able to shift the conversation
00:14:18.540 --> 00:14:19.975
To shift the conversation in america from being about
00:14:20.042 --> 00:14:21.176
In america from being about terrorism and radicals,
00:14:21.243 --> 00:14:23.012
Terrorism and radicals, you know.
00:14:23.078 --> 00:14:23.979
You know. i remember when i was on
00:14:24.046 --> 00:14:24.713
I remember when i was on glenn beck show, he says,
00:14:24.780 --> 00:14:25.981
Glenn beck show, he says, "zuhdi, you're the radically
00:14:26.048 --> 00:14:26.782
"zuhdi, you're the radically actually."
00:14:26.849 --> 00:14:27.483
Actually." yeah.
00:14:27.549 --> 00:14:28.117
Yeah. "and the other guys
00:14:28.183 --> 00:14:28.617
"and the other guys are sort of running a show."
00:14:28.684 --> 00:14:29.852
Are sort of running a show." and so --
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:30.452
And so -- >> yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:30.953
>> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> and i said, "yes."
00:14:31.020 --> 00:14:31.553
>> and i said, "yes." so, i said, "we need to stop
00:14:31.620 --> 00:14:32.421
So, i said, "we need to stop using modern --
00:14:32.488 --> 00:14:33.088
Using modern -- the term modern muslim.
00:14:33.155 --> 00:14:34.323
The term modern muslim. i hate that term."
00:14:34.390 --> 00:14:35.257
I hate that term." what does that even mean?
00:14:35.324 --> 00:14:36.258
What does that even mean? islamist is the correct term
00:14:36.325 --> 00:14:37.960
Islamist is the correct term and the groups like counseling
00:14:38.027 --> 00:14:40.129
And the groups like counseling american islamic relations
00:14:40.195 --> 00:14:41.497
American islamic relations alongside north america,
00:14:41.563 --> 00:14:42.798
Alongside north america, the alphabet soup
00:14:42.865 --> 00:14:43.365
The alphabet soup of muslim groups don't
00:14:43.432 --> 00:14:44.366
Of muslim groups don't want you to use that term.
00:14:44.433 --> 00:14:46.135
Want you to use that term. and my response to them,
00:14:46.201 --> 00:14:47.136
And my response to them, as i've testified
00:14:47.202 --> 00:14:48.003
As i've testified at congress is,
00:14:48.070 --> 00:14:48.938
At congress is, that's what they called
00:14:49.004 --> 00:14:49.805
That's what they called themselves in arabic.
00:14:49.872 --> 00:14:50.706
Themselves in arabic. h-a-m-a-s, hamas,
00:14:50.773 --> 00:14:52.408
H-a-m-a-s, hamas, means harakat al-islamiyya
00:14:52.474 --> 00:14:54.410
Means harakat al-islamiyya in arabic which means
00:14:54.476 --> 00:14:55.611
In arabic which means the movement of muslims
00:14:55.678 --> 00:14:58.080
The movement of muslims for political control,
00:14:58.147 --> 00:14:59.148
For political control, for political movements.
00:14:59.214 --> 00:15:00.749
For political movements. so, islamism, just like
00:15:00.816 --> 00:15:02.718
So, islamism, just like socialism versus capitalism,
00:15:02.785 --> 00:15:05.054
Socialism versus capitalism, is about economic ideas.
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.456
Is about economic ideas. political ideas about
00:15:07.523 --> 00:15:08.524
Political ideas about the role of religious identity
00:15:08.590 --> 00:15:10.059
The role of religious identity in the state and in
00:15:10.125 --> 00:15:11.427
In the state and in the legal system
00:15:11.493 --> 00:15:12.828
The legal system is islamic movements.
00:15:12.895 --> 00:15:14.630
Is islamic movements. so, the instrument for islamist
00:15:14.697 --> 00:15:16.966
So, the instrument for islamist is the legal system of islam
00:15:17.032 --> 00:15:19.001
Is the legal system of islam or islamic jewish prudence
00:15:19.068 --> 00:15:20.669
Or islamic jewish prudence versus the secular parties
00:15:20.736 --> 00:15:22.338
Versus the secular parties and other parties,
00:15:22.404 --> 00:15:23.105
And other parties, the communists,
00:15:23.172 --> 00:15:23.906
The communists, and others that exist in
00:15:23.973 --> 00:15:24.840
And others that exist in the middle east are not about
00:15:24.907 --> 00:15:26.075
The middle east are not about islamic law and islamic rules.
00:15:26.141 --> 00:15:28.110
Islamic law and islamic rules. >> but they're not
00:15:28.177 --> 00:15:28.744
>> but they're not all terrorists?
00:15:28.811 --> 00:15:29.345
All terrorists? jihadists are not
00:15:29.411 --> 00:15:29.945
Jihadists are not all terrorists.
00:15:30.012 --> 00:15:30.446
All terrorists. >> that's why i don't like
00:15:30.512 --> 00:15:31.246
>> that's why i don't like that term because terrorism
00:15:31.313 --> 00:15:32.881
That term because terrorism is simply the belief that
00:15:32.948 --> 00:15:34.550
Is simply the belief that noncombatants can be targeted,
00:15:34.616 --> 00:15:36.352
Noncombatants can be targeted, all that kind of stuff.
00:15:36.418 --> 00:15:37.653
All that kind of stuff. but the ends of trying
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:39.088
But the ends of trying to put it into place,
00:15:39.154 --> 00:15:40.522
To put it into place, you know, they'll say --
00:15:40.589 --> 00:15:41.156
You know, they'll say -- for example when they debated
00:15:41.223 --> 00:15:41.890
For example when they debated that imam here locally,
00:15:41.957 --> 00:15:43.092
That imam here locally, he said, "well, if muslims are
00:15:43.158 --> 00:15:44.059
He said, "well, if muslims are a majority, we have a right
00:15:44.126 --> 00:15:45.427
A majority, we have a right to then vote in, in egypt
00:15:45.494 --> 00:15:47.596
To then vote in, in egypt or elsewhere, islamic law."
00:15:47.663 --> 00:15:49.331
Or elsewhere, islamic law." and i'm like, "no, you don't.
00:15:49.398 --> 00:15:50.899
And i'm like, "no, you don't. that's called mobocracy.
00:15:50.966 --> 00:15:52.434
That's called mobocracy. that's a majoritocracy.
00:15:52.501 --> 00:15:54.103
That's a majoritocracy. that's not liberalism."
00:15:54.169 --> 00:15:55.637
That's not liberalism." the fact that makes america
00:15:55.704 --> 00:15:57.039
The fact that makes america america is that we can't
00:15:57.106 --> 00:15:57.940
America is that we can't be taken over by
00:15:58.007 --> 00:15:59.108
Be taken over by a majority that's loose,
00:15:59.174 --> 00:16:00.743
A majority that's loose, that ultimately
00:16:00.809 --> 00:16:01.377
That ultimately the supreme court has
00:16:01.443 --> 00:16:02.478
The supreme court has the final rule of the land,
00:16:02.544 --> 00:16:04.513
The final rule of the land, not the 50 plus --
00:16:04.580 --> 00:16:05.280
Not the 50 plus -- 50% plus one vote that would be
00:16:05.347 --> 00:16:08.350
50% plus one vote that would be like as ben franklin said,
00:16:08.417 --> 00:16:09.985
Like as ben franklin said, "three wolves and a sheep
00:16:10.052 --> 00:16:10.786
"three wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner."
00:16:10.853 --> 00:16:11.987
[laughter]
00:16:12.287 --> 00:16:12.654
And that's how hamas
00:16:12.921 --> 00:16:13.589
And that's how hamas got elected basically.
00:16:13.655 --> 00:16:15.190
Got elected basically. and that's how a lot
00:16:15.257 --> 00:16:15.858
And that's how a lot of these parties --
00:16:15.924 --> 00:16:16.392
Of these parties -- so, islamism is
00:16:16.458 --> 00:16:17.659
So, islamism is the desire through
00:16:17.726 --> 00:16:18.761
The desire through populous movements,
00:16:18.827 --> 00:16:20.396
Populous movements, through viral movements,
00:16:20.462 --> 00:16:21.563
Through viral movements, to put into place
00:16:21.630 --> 00:16:23.132
To put into place islamic dominance in areas
00:16:23.198 --> 00:16:25.034
Islamic dominance in areas where muslims are a majority.
00:16:25.100 --> 00:16:26.835
Where muslims are a majority. they're not seeking
00:16:26.902 --> 00:16:27.436
They're not seeking to take over the west,
00:16:27.503 --> 00:16:28.704
To take over the west, but they do wanna weaken
00:16:28.771 --> 00:16:29.772
But they do wanna weaken and make the west impotent
00:16:29.838 --> 00:16:31.874
And make the west impotent to affecting muslim world,
00:16:31.940 --> 00:16:33.642
To affecting muslim world, muslim ethics.
00:16:33.709 --> 00:16:34.276
Muslim ethics. >> so, let me use
00:16:34.343 --> 00:16:34.877
>> so, let me use the terminology correctly.
00:16:34.943 --> 00:16:35.644
The terminology correctly. islamist...
00:16:35.711 --> 00:16:36.578
Islamist... >> yeah.
00:16:36.645 --> 00:16:37.279
>> yeah. >> nations.
00:16:37.346 --> 00:16:38.113
>> nations. >> yes.
00:16:38.180 --> 00:16:38.947
>> yes. >> which are committed
00:16:39.014 --> 00:16:39.681
>> which are committed to the destruction
00:16:39.748 --> 00:16:41.016
To the destruction of the infidel.
00:16:41.083 --> 00:16:41.817
Of the infidel. >> mhmm.
00:16:41.884 --> 00:16:42.751
>> mhmm. >> which begins
00:16:42.818 --> 00:16:43.218
>> which begins with israel because
00:16:43.285 --> 00:16:44.420
With israel because they're in the territory
00:16:44.486 --> 00:16:46.121
They're in the territory and ultimately the west.
00:16:46.188 --> 00:16:47.356
And ultimately the west. >> yes.
00:16:47.423 --> 00:16:47.723
>> yes. >> right?
00:16:47.790 --> 00:16:48.257
>> right? that's why i've heard
00:16:48.323 --> 00:16:49.458
That's why i've heard netanyahu referred to israel as
00:16:49.525 --> 00:16:52.061
Netanyahu referred to israel as the little satan and america
00:16:52.127 --> 00:16:53.429
The little satan and america is the big satan.
00:16:53.495 --> 00:16:54.296
Is the big satan. >> yeah.
00:16:54.363 --> 00:16:55.097
>> yeah. >> do you feel like there can be
00:16:55.164 --> 00:16:57.933
>> do you feel like there can be peace in the middle east?
00:16:58.000 --> 00:16:59.568
Peace in the middle east? like, do you have
00:16:59.635 --> 00:17:00.235
Like, do you have a hope for that?
00:17:00.302 --> 00:17:01.103
A hope for that? it seems like an utterly
00:17:01.170 --> 00:17:01.937
It seems like an utterly impossible situation the thought
00:17:02.004 --> 00:17:04.606
Impossible situation the thought of a two state solution.
00:17:04.673 --> 00:17:06.275
Of a two state solution. is that something?
00:17:06.341 --> 00:17:07.776
Is that something? like, how do you view --
00:17:07.843 --> 00:17:09.778
Like, how do you view -- what has to happen over there
00:17:09.845 --> 00:17:11.246
What has to happen over there for there to be peace?
00:17:11.313 --> 00:17:12.014
For there to be peace? >> so, there's two answers
00:17:12.081 --> 00:17:13.115
>> so, there's two answers toward peace in the middle east.
00:17:13.182 --> 00:17:14.616
Toward peace in the middle east. one is the future protection
00:17:14.683 --> 00:17:16.085
One is the future protection of israel and two is
00:17:16.151 --> 00:17:17.886
Of israel and two is every different nation state
00:17:17.953 --> 00:17:19.455
Every different nation state in the middle east and how
00:17:19.521 --> 00:17:20.322
In the middle east and how they're going to evolve.
00:17:20.389 --> 00:17:22.391
They're going to evolve. but in israel, the only way
00:17:22.458 --> 00:17:25.394
But in israel, the only way to peace in israel is when
00:17:25.461 --> 00:17:26.728
To peace in israel is when the palestinians give us
00:17:26.795 --> 00:17:27.930
The palestinians give us an unconditional surrender.
00:17:27.996 --> 00:17:29.798
An unconditional surrender. that's the only way.
00:17:29.865 --> 00:17:30.699
That's the only way. just to constantly
00:17:30.766 --> 00:17:32.101
Just to constantly war after war and then have
00:17:32.167 --> 00:17:33.669
War after war and then have a moral equivalency where they
00:17:33.735 --> 00:17:35.070
A moral equivalency where they do what they did on october 7,
00:17:35.137 --> 00:17:36.905
Do what they did on october 7, and then a month later the u.n.,
00:17:36.972 --> 00:17:38.540
And then a month later the u.n., and western universities,
00:17:38.607 --> 00:17:39.575
And western universities, and other are talking
00:17:39.641 --> 00:17:40.442
And other are talking about the crimes against
00:17:40.509 --> 00:17:42.377
About the crimes against humanity that israel did.
00:17:42.444 --> 00:17:44.046
Humanity that israel did. and you litigant who happens
00:17:44.113 --> 00:17:46.315
And you litigant who happens to be muslim at the eus
00:17:46.381 --> 00:17:48.083
To be muslim at the eus is an islamist tried to bring
00:17:48.150 --> 00:17:50.285
Is an islamist tried to bring prime minister netanyahu
00:17:50.352 --> 00:17:52.754
Prime minister netanyahu unto a war crimes tribunal.
00:17:52.821 --> 00:17:54.389
Unto a war crimes tribunal. and president trump
00:17:54.456 --> 00:17:55.424
And president trump now appropriately is going
00:17:55.491 --> 00:17:56.959
Now appropriately is going to take our fundings away
00:17:57.025 --> 00:17:58.660
To take our fundings away from that entire process
00:17:58.727 --> 00:18:00.429
From that entire process because the u.n. contrary
00:18:00.496 --> 00:18:03.499
Because the u.n. contrary to what eleanor roosevelt
00:18:03.565 --> 00:18:04.600
To what eleanor roosevelt had envisioned,
00:18:04.666 --> 00:18:05.501
Had envisioned, has become basically
00:18:05.567 --> 00:18:06.568
Has become basically a league of dictatorships
00:18:06.635 --> 00:18:08.036
A league of dictatorships against the west.
00:18:08.103 --> 00:18:09.304
Against the west. and that little,
00:18:09.371 --> 00:18:10.072
And that little, small state is the focus
00:18:10.139 --> 00:18:11.306
Small state is the focus of over half of their time,
00:18:11.373 --> 00:18:13.375
Of over half of their time, be -- and they don't
00:18:13.442 --> 00:18:14.042
Be -- and they don't care about china.
00:18:14.109 --> 00:18:14.643
Care about china. they don't care about what
00:18:14.710 --> 00:18:15.644
They don't care about what china is doing to the uyghurs
00:18:15.711 --> 00:18:16.512
China is doing to the uyghurs or what's happening
00:18:16.578 --> 00:18:17.813
Or what's happening in russia or elsewhere.
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:19.148
In russia or elsewhere. >> they don't care
00:18:19.214 --> 00:18:19.748
>> they don't care about north korea.
00:18:19.815 --> 00:18:21.183
About north korea. they don't care about iran.
00:18:21.250 --> 00:18:22.684
They don't care about iran. they just sanctioned israel.
00:18:22.751 --> 00:18:23.919
They just sanctioned israel. >> because it's a dictator's
00:18:23.986 --> 00:18:28.357
>> because it's a dictator's club against the folks
00:18:28.423 --> 00:18:30.659
Club against the folks that would try --
00:18:30.726 --> 00:18:31.360
That would try -- that would actually be
00:18:31.426 --> 00:18:32.427
That would actually be the ones to facilitate their
00:18:32.494 --> 00:18:33.729
The ones to facilitate their own weakness into actually
00:18:33.795 --> 00:18:36.031
Own weakness into actually be anti-china, anti-putin.
00:18:36.098 --> 00:18:38.767
Be anti-china, anti-putin. all of the evil actors, say,
00:18:38.834 --> 00:18:40.802
All of the evil actors, say, "hey, the way to prevent
00:18:40.869 --> 00:18:42.437
"hey, the way to prevent the u.n. from actually
00:18:42.504 --> 00:18:43.839
The u.n. from actually exposing who we are,"
00:18:43.906 --> 00:18:44.573
Exposing who we are," and that's why president trump
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:45.507
And that's why president trump appropriately pulled
00:18:45.574 --> 00:18:46.942
Appropriately pulled out of human --
00:18:47.009 --> 00:18:48.010
Out of human -- the façade of the human rights
00:18:48.076 --> 00:18:49.411
The façade of the human rights council that is in the u.n.
00:18:49.478 --> 00:18:51.580
Council that is in the u.n. is it's simply a con-operation
00:18:51.647 --> 00:18:54.850
Is it's simply a con-operation that's happening and we
00:18:54.917 --> 00:18:55.684
That's happening and we shouldn't be funding it.
00:18:55.751 --> 00:18:56.885
Shouldn't be funding it. >> well, let's fo --
00:18:56.952 --> 00:18:57.886
>> well, let's fo -- we just have a little time left,
00:18:57.953 --> 00:18:58.987
We just have a little time left, let's talk about
00:18:59.054 --> 00:18:59.688
Let's talk about the two states' solution.
00:18:59.755 --> 00:19:01.190
The two states' solution. i just heard
00:19:01.256 --> 00:19:02.658
I just heard economist jeffery sachs,
00:19:02.724 --> 00:19:04.226
Economist jeffery sachs, very influential economist
00:19:04.293 --> 00:19:06.428
Very influential economist saying that the only solution
00:19:06.495 --> 00:19:07.963
Saying that the only solution is a two state solution,
00:19:08.030 --> 00:19:10.132
Is a two state solution, and israel going back
00:19:10.199 --> 00:19:11.433
And israel going back to the pre '67 borders.
00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:13.302
To the pre '67 borders. what's your thoughts on this?
00:19:13.368 --> 00:19:14.536
What's your thoughts on this? >> most of us in this community
00:19:14.603 --> 00:19:16.505
>> most of us in this community that i've been talking
00:19:16.572 --> 00:19:17.105
That i've been talking about debate, debating,
00:19:17.172 --> 00:19:19.007
About debate, debating, which should be the way forward.
00:19:19.074 --> 00:19:20.309
Which should be the way forward. even my friends
00:19:20.375 --> 00:19:21.076
Even my friends at the foundation
00:19:21.143 --> 00:19:21.643
At the foundation for defense of democracy,
00:19:21.710 --> 00:19:22.711
For defense of democracy, if you look at mr. goldberg
00:19:22.778 --> 00:19:25.013
If you look at mr. goldberg there who's running that,
00:19:25.080 --> 00:19:26.348
There who's running that, he talked about
00:19:26.415 --> 00:19:26.915
He talked about two state solution,
00:19:26.982 --> 00:19:27.683
Two state solution, and last week came out
00:19:27.749 --> 00:19:28.784
And last week came out and said he apologized
00:19:28.850 --> 00:19:30.352
And said he apologized to the jewish community,
00:19:30.419 --> 00:19:31.420
To the jewish community, and said,
00:19:31.486 --> 00:19:32.354
And said, "we've been very forthright
00:19:32.421 --> 00:19:34.056
"we've been very forthright about the need for some
00:19:34.122 --> 00:19:35.991
About the need for some identification there."
00:19:36.058 --> 00:19:36.992
Identification there." and fdd is very, you know,
00:19:37.059 --> 00:19:38.694
And fdd is very, you know, upfront on these issues.
00:19:38.760 --> 00:19:41.096
Upfront on these issues. and he apologized for supporting
00:19:41.163 --> 00:19:42.598
And he apologized for supporting two states solution
00:19:42.664 --> 00:19:43.365
Two states solution and he said what i've been
00:19:43.432 --> 00:19:44.399
And he said what i've been saying for a long time.
00:19:44.466 --> 00:19:45.634
Saying for a long time. is that imagine syria was not a
00:19:45.701 --> 00:19:47.936
Is that imagine syria was not a state and assad was running it,
00:19:48.003 --> 00:19:51.340
State and assad was running it, and would you give them
00:19:51.406 --> 00:19:53.542
And would you give them the right to a state?
00:19:53.609 --> 00:19:55.210
The right to a state? no.
00:19:55.277 --> 00:19:56.211
No. not with assad running it
00:19:56.278 --> 00:19:57.045
Not with assad running it and not with 30 years of --
00:19:57.112 --> 00:19:58.714
And not with 30 years of -- or 40 years of baathism
00:19:58.780 --> 00:19:59.948
Or 40 years of baathism which is incompatible
00:20:00.015 --> 00:20:01.917
Which is incompatible with human rights
00:20:01.984 --> 00:20:02.551
With human rights domestically and globally.
00:20:02.618 --> 00:20:04.519
Domestically and globally. so, the palestinians have
00:20:04.586 --> 00:20:07.155
So, the palestinians have to first surrender that
00:20:07.222 --> 00:20:08.924
To first surrender that they are going to not only
00:20:08.991 --> 00:20:10.058
They are going to not only rid themselves of hamas,
00:20:10.125 --> 00:20:11.693
Rid themselves of hamas, but the ideologies
00:20:11.760 --> 00:20:12.728
But the ideologies that create hamas.
00:20:12.794 --> 00:20:14.896
That create hamas. so --
00:20:14.963 --> 00:20:15.264
So -- >> genocide actually, to push
00:20:15.330 --> 00:20:16.465
>> genocide actually, to push israel into the state.
00:20:16.531 --> 00:20:17.532
Israel into the state. >> exactly.
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:18.133
>> exactly. i wanna disrupt this
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:20.569
I wanna disrupt this dialogue about two states.
00:20:20.636 --> 00:20:22.070
Dialogue about two states. why do we keep using
00:20:22.137 --> 00:20:22.938
Why do we keep using the old technology?
00:20:23.005 --> 00:20:23.739
The old technology? two state solution
00:20:23.805 --> 00:20:24.773
Two state solution is an old technology.
00:20:24.840 --> 00:20:26.608
Is an old technology. 21st century technology
00:20:26.675 --> 00:20:28.243
21st century technology of discussing solutions
00:20:28.310 --> 00:20:29.444
Of discussing solutions in the middle east is looking
00:20:29.511 --> 00:20:31.446
In the middle east is looking at a way forward, a pathway,
00:20:31.513 --> 00:20:34.316
At a way forward, a pathway, that doesn't talk about
00:20:34.383 --> 00:20:35.350
That doesn't talk about state yet.
00:20:35.417 --> 00:20:35.984
State yet. they haven't earned that.
00:20:36.051 --> 00:20:37.486
They haven't earned that. when we were in
00:20:37.552 --> 00:20:38.287
When we were in the colony's era in america,
00:20:38.353 --> 00:20:40.422
The colony's era in america, nobody was talking about
00:20:40.489 --> 00:20:41.423
Nobody was talking about the united states of america.
00:20:41.490 --> 00:20:42.758
The united states of america. they hadn't had
00:20:42.824 --> 00:20:43.258
They hadn't had the technology yet.
00:20:43.325 --> 00:20:44.359
The technology yet. they got together.
00:20:44.426 --> 00:20:45.160
They got together. we had the constitutional
00:20:45.227 --> 00:20:45.994
We had the constitutional convention in 1789,
00:20:46.061 --> 00:20:48.730
Convention in 1789, 13 years after 1776.
00:20:48.797 --> 00:20:51.166
13 years after 1776. so, if the palestinians
00:20:51.233 --> 00:20:52.701
So, if the palestinians are gonna have their liberation
00:20:52.768 --> 00:20:53.869
Are gonna have their liberation moment against their rulers,
00:20:53.935 --> 00:20:55.771
Moment against their rulers, which is not israel,
00:20:55.837 --> 00:20:56.705
Which is not israel, they first have to acknowledge
00:20:56.772 --> 00:20:57.739
They first have to acknowledge that israel is not
00:20:57.806 --> 00:20:58.440
That israel is not their problem.
00:20:58.507 --> 00:20:59.508
Their problem. it's hamas and the militancy.
00:20:59.574 --> 00:21:01.610
It's hamas and the militancy. don't rebuild it and allow it
00:21:01.677 --> 00:21:03.178
Don't rebuild it and allow it to being rebuilt until
00:21:03.245 --> 00:21:05.380
To being rebuilt until we secure an
00:21:05.447 --> 00:21:05.981
We secure an unconditional surrender.
00:21:06.048 --> 00:21:06.982
Unconditional surrender. >> wow.
00:21:07.049 --> 00:21:07.749
>> wow. that is such a great point.
00:21:07.816 --> 00:21:10.218
That is such a great point. gaza was in attempt to be
00:21:10.285 --> 00:21:12.354
Gaza was in attempt to be at peace and give them autonomy,
00:21:12.421 --> 00:21:15.123
At peace and give them autonomy, but they just made it
00:21:15.190 --> 00:21:16.024
But they just made it into a staging ground
00:21:16.091 --> 00:21:16.992
Into a staging ground for missile attacks.
00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:18.126
For missile attacks. it just didn't work.
00:21:18.193 --> 00:21:19.094
It just didn't work. so, really, the leadership
00:21:19.161 --> 00:21:20.395
So, really, the leadership has to be completely changed
00:21:20.462 --> 00:21:21.997
Has to be completely changed and there needs to be
00:21:22.064 --> 00:21:22.764
And there needs to be a system of reeducation
00:21:22.831 --> 00:21:24.066
A system of reeducation of the palestinians.
00:21:24.132 --> 00:21:25.334
Of the palestinians. >> hamas has to be thrown away.
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:27.235
>> hamas has to be thrown away. the process of developing
00:21:27.302 --> 00:21:28.837
The process of developing who their new leadership
00:21:28.904 --> 00:21:29.805
Who their new leadership has to have a vetting process
00:21:29.871 --> 00:21:31.773
Has to have a vetting process to where they can accept
00:21:31.840 --> 00:21:33.342
To where they can accept that western values
00:21:33.408 --> 00:21:34.276
That western values or their mantra, if you will,
00:21:34.343 --> 00:21:36.678
Or their mantra, if you will, and a recognition
00:21:36.745 --> 00:21:38.113
And a recognition of respect of equality,
00:21:38.180 --> 00:21:39.948
Of respect of equality, that there's no
00:21:40.015 --> 00:21:40.849
That there's no moral equivalency between israel
00:21:40.916 --> 00:21:42.351
Moral equivalency between israel defending itself versus terror
00:21:42.417 --> 00:21:44.886
Defending itself versus terror against noncombatants,
00:21:44.953 --> 00:21:46.621
Against noncombatants, and children, and women,
00:21:46.688 --> 00:21:47.622
And children, and women, and elderly.
00:21:47.689 --> 00:21:48.390
And elderly. that's just incomparable.
00:21:48.457 --> 00:21:50.292
That's just incomparable. i'm not saying that
00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:51.093
I'm not saying that there haven't been innocent
00:21:51.159 --> 00:21:52.260
There haven't been innocent killed in gaza,
00:21:52.327 --> 00:21:52.994
Killed in gaza, and i wish there was a way
00:21:53.061 --> 00:21:54.296
And i wish there was a way that could have been prevented
00:21:54.363 --> 00:21:55.497
That could have been prevented just as i do in japan
00:21:55.564 --> 00:21:57.366
Just as i do in japan in world war ii or in germany.
00:21:57.432 --> 00:21:59.000
In world war ii or in germany. but unfortunately, this is a war
00:21:59.067 --> 00:22:01.436
But unfortunately, this is a war that hamas declared on october 7
00:22:01.503 --> 00:22:03.105
That hamas declared on october 7 and every year before it.
00:22:03.171 --> 00:22:04.740
And every year before it. and as they built these tunnels,
00:22:04.806 --> 00:22:06.174
And as they built these tunnels, it was a process in which
00:22:06.241 --> 00:22:07.976
It was a process in which they used innocent people
00:22:08.043 --> 00:22:09.311
They used innocent people as shields and use them
00:22:09.378 --> 00:22:11.146
As shields and use them as guards for attacks that
00:22:11.213 --> 00:22:14.349
As guards for attacks that they did against israel.
00:22:14.416 --> 00:22:16.618
They did against israel. so, you know,
00:22:16.685 --> 00:22:17.519
So, you know, as we look forward,
00:22:17.586 --> 00:22:19.888
As we look forward, every freedom
00:22:19.955 --> 00:22:20.789
Every freedom has come at a price.
00:22:20.856 --> 00:22:22.057
Has come at a price. and i hope
00:22:22.124 --> 00:22:23.058
And i hope the palestinian community
00:22:23.125 --> 00:22:24.126
The palestinian community and those of us that
00:22:24.192 --> 00:22:25.160
And those of us that believe in reformation
00:22:25.227 --> 00:22:27.062
Believe in reformation within islam can say that,
00:22:27.129 --> 00:22:29.064
Within islam can say that, "okay, we need to advocate for
00:22:29.131 --> 00:22:32.234
"okay, we need to advocate for values that are consistent
00:22:32.300 --> 00:22:35.203
Values that are consistent and transparent."
00:22:35.270 --> 00:22:37.172
And transparent." >> dr. jasser,
00:22:37.239 --> 00:22:37.873
