NO TO A PALESTINIAN STATE (Why you too, should be against a Palestinian state)

Like most Israelis, I am against the creation of a Palestinian state, and I hope that by

the end of this video, you will better understand the Israeli point of view.

Before we dive into it, I want to zoom out.

To talk about the Middle East.

You hear so much about what is wrong with Israel, but if you look at the countries surrounding

Israel, you quickly see that the situation there is much worse.

Lebanon is falling apart, Syria has already fallen apart, Jordan and Egypt are not stable,

there is a terrible war in Yemen, and you probably know about the chaos in Iran, Iraq,

and Afghanistan.

Do you know how many Syrians died last year in the terrible war there?

You probably don’t.

So let me tell you: 6,500, most of them civilians.

That’s about 20 deaths a day.

If Israel were to kill 20 Arabs a day, there would be violent demonstrations throughout

the Arab world and in many European cities.

Do you know how many children have died so far in the civil war in Yemen?

You can’t blame Israel for it, so maybe it’s not that important.

Have you ever Googled women’s rights in Egypt?

Please do.

Some of the basic rights, and I mean very basic rights, that Western women enjoy will

never be enjoyed by most Egyptian women.

And I could give you ten more sad examples.

Now you might say that I’m trying to distract from the main issue, but if you claim to be

outraged by what Israel is doing but you don’t care about all the horrible things that are

happening just a few kilometers from here, then maybe you are being a bit of a hypocrite.

If you disagree with me, cool, I love discussions.

I love free speech, but try to be fair.

Don’t just call me a liar or say that I am biased.

Those are not proper arguments against what I’m saying.

I can’t find much in the way of democracy, human rights and women’s rights in Arab

Muslim society.

Prove me wrong if you can.

Now let’s talk about the so-called Palestinians.

When the British came here at the end of WWI, they basically invented two nations: the Jordanians

and the Palestinians.

Two nations that never existed before.

It is very easy to prove that.

Name a Palestinian leader before Arafat, or show me a Palestinian coin.

What were the borders of this land?
