Israel has just as much right to exist as did Nazi Germany. Like Nazi Germany, it is a society founded upon the core principle of racism. Israel’s history consists of 75 years of apartheid, genocide and war crimes, culminating with the current antisemitic extermination that the Israelis are carrying out against the indigenous semitic population of Gaza.

Should we become the proverbial ostrich to injustice? No, We must be the child in the Emperor New Clothes, that will say the Emperor is naked. If we keep silence to injustice we are just as guilty as those, who are implementing such policies. How can we say America we are for Justice and Democracy? When you become the proverbial ostrich of Palestinian exploitation. I am an African Jamaican-American and I can see failure of moral integrity of the Human community. What is the difference between Nazism and what the Zionist are doing to the Palestinians? Nothing, it is the Same exploitation. In 1935 to 1937, the Invasion of the country of Ethiopia by the fascist Mussolini and the failure of the League of Nations to act, created injustice that caused the spread of destructive conditions in Europe. The rest is history, World War 2 occurred. The United Nations is doing the same thing as its predecessor. Are we waiting for other nations to forsake morality and start attacking weaker countries? Please let me know humanity, WAKE UP HUMANITY!
Ta-Nehisi extraordinarily dignified, Dokoupil, POS. Doesn't care at least 39 massacres since 1948 Israel, now at least 20,000 infants, children mass murdered the assault on the Gaza Concentration Camp, 40,000 u=infants, children missing – likely all dead, crush injuries, burned alive. The most immense massacre infants, children in so short a time since the Nazi Holocaust.
I understand what you saying is correct 👍 but why are you fighting over in another country so adamantly and you should be here in America fighting even harder before you clean another house clean your own home 🏡😜
This is a classic example of projection. The interviewer himself is so offended at being confronted with the hard truths in this book that he is compelled to accuse the author of being offended at the mere existence of Israel. What he fails to understand is that is not what the book is about. The book is about the violation of the Palestinian people at the hands of Israeli occupation.
The 1st statement about the book being in the backpack of an extremist if Coates wasn’t the author is like me saying the recent coordinated detonation of pagers and walkie talkies in BEIRUT is like Al Qaeda using IEDs on US troops.
the American/Israeli economic matrix is so deeply woven that no single person in charge would ever dare to untangle it, nor would the various power players allow it.
Vote for Jill Stein , We are not faced with the choice between a greater evil and a lesser evil. We are confronted with two destructive forces: one committing genocide and another poised to finish the job. We urge Muslim-Americans, and all those who have drawn a firm line against genocide, to vote for the Green Party in 2024.
1 He didn’t seem to answer whether or not Israel has a right to exist – answer the question up front, yes or no
2 And I sincerely ask this having no dog in the fight…but I do know there are Arabs in the Israeli parliament – I’m curious why there are no Jews in Palestine leadership?
A decade after the formation of Israel, the leader of the American Jewish Organization, should've listened to them. Jacob Blaustein released this statement officially, “The ‘Zion’ in Zionism we have always favored, always striven to aid; it is the special ‘ism’ in Zionism that we do not accept. That ‘ism’ has no faith in Emancipation; it preaches the inevitability of a murderous anti-Semitism, almost as much a fact of nature as the law of gravity. This we reject totally.”
The real colonizers are the Palestinians. They've also colonized many Americans'minds with their lies. I'm sorry but when you are calling for a global intifada you are in the wrong side of history.
The more I listen to this, its clear that it was not a first question by that host, it was actually a threat. A threat to delegitimize, to possibly erase or even hinder Ta – Nehisi's career/life in every facet, in everyway, that the host listed.
Gayle King and Nate ought to be ashamed of themselves they sat back like two pet dogs while they allowed Tony to disrespect Tanehesi and call him a terrorist and an anti semite while they had nothing to say? If Tanehesi wasn't a black journalist/author they would be out of a job today or forced to issue an apology. They sat like 2 little poodles while Tony was allowed to disrespect this man in their presence, their conduct was disgraceful. Tanehesi Coates is a true scion of our race. He's allowed to be disrespected by CBS simply because he's black and he's not pushing pro Israeli talking points as most Americans often do. No person of color should ever support apartheid or jim Crow like policies no matter where in the world they are being implemented and pushed. NONE!
For all the destruction our country has done to other countries-could you imagine this guys attitude if we as tourists were not welcome to Germany/South Africa/South America/MEXICO??? So he’s saying it’d be ok to destroy us based on what our ancestors did? Or our government did? Or fkng TRUMP has done?? Can you imagine being treated the way Palestinian-Israelis are treated if you vote and fight with violence for Trump? I’d personally be happy to see them all in jail for treason but that’s not how we work. Unimaginable how cognitive dissonance is so prevalent here.
Di Kapoli can’t even see the succinct comparison between pre-civil rights in the USA and the present day racism in Israel. When he said “and why is that?” He’s demonstrating absolute racism and contempt for innocent people based upon the color of their skin and religion. If this doesn’t anger us, we are doomed.
DeKoupil needs to read some Ilan Pappe and fully understand what occurred during the creation of Israel. Israel's government's behavior since 1948 is indefensible.
Ta-nehisi do better….those people you are crying out loud about, never seen any of of my them do to the to same for civil rights here in America!! I hust don't get you, moreover the murdered Africans in that raid too!!! What's wrong with y'all?!!!🙄🤷🏾

Typical US media and Journalists. Truth is being exposed. Eventually Americans won’t fall for these lies anymore
Why I don't watch USA news outlets.

US is complicit and Biden, despite his other positive deeds, is a monster when it comes to Palestine.
MLK did not support terrorist attacks against civilians, women and children.
Coates is not lying
Why has no one asked a jewish isreal about the Draco doctorate and The Birth Right visit they have
noone is letting ME see the interview
Tony just lied there and said all countries around them want to eliminate Israel. Jordan 🇯🇴 and Egypt are both protected them.

We know the Palestinian perspective is that Israel has no right to exist. 🙄
Israel’s “apartheid” ?

Ta-Nehesi Coates is spot on as usual.
Vote for Jill Stein , We are not faced with the choice between a greater evil and a lesser evil. We are confronted with two destructive forces: one committing genocide and another poised to finish the job. We urge Muslim-Americans, and all those who have drawn a firm line against genocide, to vote for the Green Party in 2024.
After a genocide was commited against them, the Jewish people where given a country. After the Palestinien genocide the need a country also.
Couple of things:
1 He didn’t seem to answer whether or not Israel has a right to exist – answer the question up front, yes or no
2 And I sincerely ask this having no dog in the fight…but I do know there are Arabs in the Israeli parliament – I’m curious why there are no Jews in Palestine leadership?
Ta-Nehisi Coates joins us on the podcast after this CBS interview! https://youtu.be/uJu7cOydT-Y Full episode airs Oct 10th!
The what about ism.
A decade after the formation of Israel, the leader of the American Jewish Organization, should've listened to them. Jacob Blaustein released this statement officially, “The ‘Zion’ in Zionism we have always favored, always striven to aid; it is the special ‘ism’ in Zionism that we do not accept. That ‘ism’ has no faith in Emancipation; it preaches the inevitability of a murderous anti-Semitism, almost as much a fact of nature as the law of gravity. This we reject totally.”
1:56 Coates says aks, not ask. You would think by his age he would have learned how to pronounce a simple one syllable word.
The real colonizers are the Palestinians. They've also colonized many Americans'minds with their lies. I'm sorry but when you are calling for a global intifada you are in the wrong side of history.
Only watch International news channels concerning this situation.. For truth.
Very much why youtube is so important because perspectives are from both sides it does not choose for us we research see it and chose for self
Joi lost her job too. She worked with a co host named Robbie.
The more I listen to this, its clear that it was not a first question by that host, it was actually a threat. A threat to delegitimize, to possibly erase or even hinder Ta – Nehisi's career/life in every facet, in everyway, that
the host listed.
the argument is that israel has the right to defend itself
why isn't there apartheid in muslim states?… because they kill everyone who doesn't get in line
Gayle King and Nate ought to be ashamed of themselves they sat back like two pet dogs while they allowed Tony to disrespect Tanehesi and call him a terrorist and an anti semite while they had nothing to say?

When did it begin goofy after ww2 the so-called jews were placed in someone else's land

This dikapoli guy would have the balls to call out Trump/Vance for their hideous claims about Haitian immigrants. Talk about hypocrisy!!

They called Jesus a radical terrorist
Nothing but FACTS
