As always, nothing is absolute and nobody is perfect. Of course, everyone has his detractors and supporters, regardless of his stature. I introduced him as a genocide scholar, nothing more and he is definitely not my guru. I certainly never assert or assume that other sources of info outside Youtube are incorrect. Reread my previous reply. I am unequivocally certain that you have negative (below zero) qualification to challenge his view. When I share my knowledge or present my rebuttal, I tend to include a link or two so other readers can read/ watch it and form their own opinions. Few readers caution not to conflate Jews with Zionists but nobody had provided context to help other readers make sense. We can read the same post or watch/ listen to the same discussion, many of us will reach multiple conclusions. Knowledgeable people can change minds of rational people but they won't change hearts of radical people. In the majority of non-European/ western countries, the evidence clearly supported the definition. In today's polarized environment filled with non-factual theories from people who have no background in subject matter, it is a challenge to navigate where the facts are for others. On the Israel-Palestine conflict, I see things quite clearly as I criticize all parties that are waging wars and targeting civilians. The Middle East always fascinates and captivates me. Its civilization is beyond captivating.

Globetrotter, whatever gives you the option that there are those who look beyond YouTube for historical facts are wrong? You quote Omer Bartov, as your guru. It is absolutely true that he is one who is universally acknowledged as a well respected authority on the subject of Genocide. Have you actually read any of his books on the subject? For example; Genocide, The Holocaust and Israel-Palestine: First-Person History in Times of Crisis published in 2023. I have and many of his other books too, going back several decades. His opinions have become part of a very controversial and widely-reported debate about how to interpret Israel’s military actions and their legal and moral implications. He has his supporters, however, he is not without criticism. His use of the term “genocide” has been sharply contested. Leading legal scholars, commentators and other academics disputing whether the legal definition of genocide applies. Also, whether the evidence meets the required threshold of specific intent to destroy a protected group. A most important element in the conundrum. So Globetrotter, the subject is not as black and white as you might imagine. Perhaps Bartov’s forthcoming book, I cannot put my finger on the title, I am sure that it will throw even more light upon the subject. I suppose that the bottom line is that the likes of you and me are less well informed than some. However, you might care to look for your historical perspective and facts beyond YouTube, yes?

Dear stupid zionist AeroB13a. We see you and tired of your blindness and stupid ways. I'll apologize if you apologize for supporting and defending a genocide and the modern day racist regime where they wear a hangmans noose on their lapel and laugh. Sounds very sick to me. Sounds like modern day nazis wanting to exterminate a entire group of people. Are you a nazi that supports this Israeli regime. A simple yes or no will do.

Untrue. You can learn a lot from Youtube, unlike other social media platforms when someone uploads real life discussions. It depends on your knowledge on such subject matter in addition to the caliber and qualifications of the host and the guests. If you dismiss their qualifications, you basically deny historical facts because I honestly have yet read any convincing comments, > 98%, on history from all readers and bloggers. When you lack or deny historical facts, it is highly unlikely that you can intellectually engage in any non-science discussion. His personal background, born and raised in Israel and joined the IDF, and professional/ academic stature are indisputable. There are always other people who will dispute anything and anyone. In science, you are required to prove any thing true and accurate. In social science, anything goes. When it comes to Israel-Palestine conflict, there are only two camps. Those who possess and use historical facts to educate others while others to manipulate and deny at all costs. Before leaving Kuwait three decades ago, I always hoped I'd have an opportunity to live and work in Israel in order to understand the missing half of the equation to understand the conflict. Less than a month into the Gazan war, such hope was buried six feet under. In the last two years, independent non-profit domestic and foreign news media have educated me a lot on this subject matter. Youtube provides me feedback to learn MidEast history backward--from Gazan war to the Ottoman Empire.

Moe, at the time of your post I was resting in the ‘arms of Morpheus’. Please tell me to whom are you addressing your comment to? Thank you.

globetrotter, do you honestly believe that education by YouTube is good education? Many would not rely upon YouTube propaganda for unbiased views on any worthwhile topic.

Yes he is a highly respected scholar, but expertise alone does not settle a contested political or legal question. Many other experts disagree with his interpretation of events in Gaza... And regardless, appeals to authority isn't getting you anywhere.

MEGA Joe-ORD, Accusing someone of crimes without evidence and attacking an entire group is not debate, it is harassment old bean. If you think that you have an argument, please present it without the insults. Failure to do so only serves one purpose, to illuminate your ignorance, yes?

I have enjoyed some of the dialogue exchanges with certain commentators on this page. It is most refreshing to actually engage in an intellectual conversation herein. Thank you Ben, for enabling such intercourse. More often than not one’s mental stimulation is restrained by responding to the one line moronic mumblings from the likes of ORD (logged in as MEGA Joe), frrp, deltasax or Walter Mitty Dunn. Quite obviously, the actors behind these login names, know little of what they post. However, please be assured that their click is appreciated by Ben. Furthermore by myself and others who enjoy reading Ben’s flight reviews. ORD, you need pop down to your local Walmart for a new camouflage net and more war paint. Your slip is showing beneath the MEGA Joe-Soap login which you are hiding beneath …. :-)
