WEBVTT 00:01.390 --> 00:06.490 Is it racist to criticise the Palestinians as the world's most tiresome crybabies 00:06.490 --> 00:09.950 with a bogus cause and a plight that's entirely self-inflicted? 00:10.770 --> 00:11.570 I bet it is. 00:11.930 --> 00:15.090 I wouldn't be surprised if it was against the law in certain European countries, 00:15.230 --> 00:17.890 but I'm going to do it anyway because somebody has to. 00:18.410 --> 00:21.710 And I realise I'll probably lose a few friends with this video, but that's OK. 00:22.010 --> 00:23.530 Friends like that I can do without. 00:24.310 --> 00:27.150 All any of us can do is to tell the truth as we see it. 00:27.230 --> 00:30.510 I mean as we actually see it, and not as we think we're supposed to see it. 00:30.510 --> 00:35.150 The worst thing you can do is to see the truth and to tell a lie, and I see the 00:35.150 --> 00:40.310 Palestinian cause as a lie, a lie designed to exploit western liberal guilt, 00:40.510 --> 00:45.410 like the lie of Islamophobia and the lie of the mythical religion of peace that 00:45.410 --> 00:46.730 nobody has ever seen in action. 00:48.050 --> 00:51.650 I used to be a lot more critical of Israel, and I used to believe there was a 00:51.650 --> 00:55.710 fairly simple two state solution because I used to believe the Arabs were acting in 00:55.710 --> 00:56.310 good faith. 00:56.810 --> 01:00.770 I still want to believe that, but the evidence tells me I'd be a fool to believe 01:00.770 --> 01:04.270 it, because I've seen that every concession Israel makes is met with more 01:04.270 --> 01:06.370 demands and more excuses not to negotiate. 01:06.950 --> 01:10.350 They could have had peace ten times over if they wanted it, but they don't want 01:10.350 --> 01:14.190 peace, they want victory, and they won't be happy till Israel is wiped from the 01:14.190 --> 01:14.430 map. 01:14.990 --> 01:18.470 A member of Fatah's central committee said as much on television recently, 01:18.570 --> 01:21.910 but, as he said, they keep that to themselves and tell the rest of the world 01:21.910 --> 01:22.950 a different story. 01:23.570 --> 01:28.010 And as part of that story, the bogus claim for Palestinian statehood is currently 01:28.010 --> 01:31.370 passing through the United Nations, and we're all waiting to see what plops 01:31.370 --> 01:32.170 out the other end. 01:32.390 --> 01:35.450 Not that it really matters, because, despite what the Palestinian public 01:35.450 --> 01:37.030 relations industry, i.e. 01:37.070 --> 01:40.670 the western media, might tell you, this is not about territory, and it 01:40.670 --> 01:44.750 certainly isn't about justice or human rights, because Arab societies don't know 01:44.750 --> 01:45.750 the meaning of those words. 01:46.330 --> 01:51.370 It's about Jew hatred, as mandated by the Koran, and as preached in the mosques and 01:51.370 --> 01:55.610 taught to the children in Arab countries day in and day out, generation after 01:55.610 --> 01:56.770 poisoned generation. 01:56.770 --> 01:59.630 The Arabs don't hate Jews because of Israel. 01:59.810 --> 02:01.630 They hate Israel because of Jews. 02:02.170 --> 02:07.470 The situation in the West Bank and Gaza exists because, 45 years ago, several Arab 02:07.470 --> 02:12.470 countries attacked Israel unprovoked with overwhelming odds because it was a Jewish 02:12.470 --> 02:12.830 state. 02:13.110 --> 02:16.270 If it hadn't been a Jewish state they wouldn't have attacked it, and they 02:16.270 --> 02:19.690 attacked with the intention of wiping it from the map and of committing genocide. 02:20.130 --> 02:24.210 But they failed because the Jews had a bit more steel in their blood than the Arabs 02:24.210 --> 02:27.690 had bargained for, and who could be surprised after what they'd been through, 02:27.930 --> 02:31.350 and after seeing how the rest of the world had responded to their plight. 02:31.890 --> 02:36.050 Large numbers of Jews could have escaped the Nazis if they'd had somewhere else to 02:36.050 --> 02:38.510 go, but other countries wouldn't let them in. 02:39.050 --> 02:43.430 The Mufti of Jerusalem at the time was a friend of Hitler's, and, good Muslim that 02:43.430 --> 02:47.990 he was, he approved of the final solution and had plans for his own holocaust in the 02:47.990 --> 02:50.250 Middle East once the Nazis had won the war. 02:50.650 --> 02:55.150 So who can blame the Israelis today for defending themselves as if they mean it, 02:55.250 --> 02:58.370 when they know they're dealing with people they know they can't trust, and who they 02:58.370 --> 03:01.590 know hate them enough to want to exterminate them as a people? 03:02.030 --> 03:05.130 Anybody else in their situation would behave the same way. 03:05.330 --> 03:07.930 I know I would, and I wouldn't apologise for it. 03:08.950 --> 03:10.750 Israel is surrounded by enemies. 03:10.990 --> 03:14.970 Peace is more in their interest than in anyone else's, which is why they keep 03:14.970 --> 03:15.870 making concessions. 03:16.110 --> 03:18.950 But it's not in the interest of the Palestinian leadership. 03:19.390 --> 03:21.090 Peace is the last thing they want. 03:21.530 --> 03:23.230 They need to keep the pot boiling. 03:23.230 --> 03:27.510 They need to keep their people angry and resentful and hating Jews. 03:27.690 --> 03:32.050 Peace would ruin everything, because they won't be happy until Israel is wiped from 03:32.050 --> 03:34.650 the map and the Jews have been driven into the sea. 03:35.030 --> 03:38.190 If they really believe that's going to happen, they're insane. 03:38.530 --> 03:42.190 And if they don't really believe it, they're even more insane, wouldn't you 03:42.190 --> 03:42.430 say? 03:43.610 --> 03:47.630 And all you good hearted western liberals who keep banging the drum for the poor 03:47.630 --> 03:51.290 Palestinians, I sympathise with you because you're doing it for the right 03:51.290 --> 03:55.690 reason, but you're being used and exploited, just as the people in the West 03:55.690 --> 04:00.070 Bank and Gaza are being exploited by people who have no intention of 04:00.070 --> 04:04.870 negotiating peace because they're driven primarily by crude irrational religious 04:04.870 --> 04:05.410 hatred. 04:05.850 --> 04:09.210 When you protest for Palestine, you know you'll be in the company of 04:09.210 --> 04:11.130 people calling for Jews to be gassed. 04:11.610 --> 04:12.550 Do you think that's an accident? 04:13.030 --> 04:17.370 You're dealing with something here beyond politics and beyond reason, something 04:17.370 --> 04:22.550 truly ugly that drives a spike through all your cosy left-right assumptions, 04:22.910 --> 04:26.590 and your naivety is helping to stoke it like bellows to a fire. 04:27.410 --> 04:31.790 The world needs to stop pretending that Palestine is about justice and human 04:31.790 --> 04:36.210 rights, and have the moral courage to call this thing what it is, to put a stop to 04:36.210 --> 04:40.870 this charade, this endless dance around a non-existent negotiating table. 04:41.090 --> 04:45.810 We need to do the Arabs a huge favour, and tell them the truth they so badly need 04:45.810 --> 04:49.290 to hear, that their hatred is the cause of their misery. 04:49.290 --> 04:50.990 They've become prisoners of it. 04:51.190 --> 04:53.510 It has come to define their very identity. 04:53.890 --> 04:58.150 And until they can find a way to remove this ugly stain from their hearts, 04:58.350 --> 05:02.170 they'll always be chained to it, and they and their children will never be 05:02.170 --> 05:02.490 free. 05:02.870 --> 05:05.510 Arab Spring or no Arab Spring. 05:07.550 --> 05:08.150 Peace. 05:08.750 --> 05:12.710 How many wasted generations of hate do you think it will take?
