It has been pointed out to me that some of my words in this conversation around min 38, apparently referring to potential genocide in Gaza, were edited out. I checked and that is indeed the case. This is very troubling and will hopefully be corrected.

Important article by Amos Goldberg. Please note that Professor Goldberg has not had a chance to look over the translation. But it is a reliable rendition of the Hebrew original and he has allowed me to post it.

Thank you for posting the full video of the event, including my previously missing statement that "we are on the verge of either genocide, certainly extensive killing of civilians, extensive destruction... and ethnic cleansing. All of these are crimes."

What does a slogan mean? So here is a slick ad by the Israeli real estate firm Yad2 (meaning second hand): "Yad2 helps you look forward and build a future in your new home in Israel! There is Yad2 and we have no other country"

In June 2023 I warned in an interview with Haaretz that "Israel suffers from a serious disease of euphoria of power." Then came October 7, fifty years and a day after the same euphoria produced the debacle of 1973. It's time to consider peace.

Jewish pogromists run amok in the West Bank; an international criminal is threatening to unseat an even greater criminal in the Kremlin. And Ukraine, where pogroms once triggered Zionism, is fighting for freedom and justice, led by a Jewish president. How history turns!
