IS ZIONISM A DANGER TO BOTH JEWS AND PALESTINIANS? feat. Nina Kharoufeh
In part 2 of our series on the relationship between the Black, Jewish and Arab communities, Donovan continues his conversation with Nina Kharoufeh, Palestinian stand-up comedian and amateur boxer. This episode dives deeper into the dynamics of identity and activism in the context of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Nina shares her unique perspective on the conflation of Judaism and Zionism, the prevalence of racism in the Arab world, and the impact these issues have on the fight for Palestinian liberation. How do these complexities shape our understanding and actions? How does social media play a role in shifting societal views?
Join us as we explore the courage it takes to speak out against injustice and the essential role of cross-cultural coalitions in striving for a free Palestine.
Shout out to Queen for blessing us with a special visit.

    I have noticed that PalestineArab kkklanwoman, swearing before. She is a racist arrogant snobbish self-worshipping narrow-minded flamboyant ostentatious bigotry selling hater. What a slimeball merchant of Arabism's empire of colonial settlers' occupation over North Africa and Southwest Asia -Mideast nations. She is so self righteous pompous arrogant and snobbish. You Arabian PeninsulaArab patrimony rooted patriarchic racists, practice mass murder of African native indigenous peoples. That is in-between your pauses and truces. You are disgusting ill-liberal anti-social racist, with your demeaning of anybody else's desire to be be free from Arabism's empire of colonial settlers' occupation.

    The problem with my Arabist empire cousins, is that you are NOT requiring yourself to take the beam out of your own ill-liberal and anti-social eye 👁️👀 eyes, before you take the speck out of somebody else's 👀. Either you are NOT aware of what hypocritical a-holes you are or you are aware of what a-holes you are and just love to watch stupid people idolize Arabist patrimony.

    This video reminds me of why I always loved the latinos in my school!! Ik this is stereotyping and americans hate thinking that a certain demographic has certain characteristics, but goddamn it its my experience! Im from Lithuania lived here til 14 yrs old, then my dad moved us to the US, and I still can’t explain exactly what it is but I could never relate to Americans, though I tried every day i always left my interactions with native born Americans feeling totally disconnected and misunderstood… but not with the latinos! My friend group quickly became the mexicans at my school and even though we spoke english, something about them and their culture felt more genuine, and I didnt feel like I had to yell loudly to make myself heard, or watch what I said all the time in case someone was offended. I could just be. Thats why I learned Spanish, I have much love for those people who made me feel less alien in a time in my life when I felt completely desolate and hopeless. Living in America taught me that culture goes far beyond the tangible, the explain-able, it shapes everything in our interactions w others.

    Latinx is a symptom of the US’s arrogance thinking that they can dictate the terms spanish speakers use. I get that in English u have a right to create your own terms but PLEASE dont act like that term is in any way acceptable to latin American society. Also, enough of Americans defining Brazilians of mixed race as ‘black’, its a rather weird concept to assign that race to so many ppl who are clearly MIXED race.

    YES EMPHATICALLY THE EVIDENCE IS INDESPUTABLE not to condone any acts of evil by anyone but the double standard portrayed especially by Western agencies should go for all and it clearly does not especially in zionist Israels case it's intentionally murdered British and USA servicemen in the past without consequence the opposite is the case with further aid and arms, it seems they control the west expecially usa and UK both countries in huge debt while Israel is not, if this is not proof enough what more do you need?

    Israel is a chosen generation. Your claims cannot be proven. Jews is a blessing to the entire world even to its haters. They have nearly 4000 years of history. So called Palestine never existed in the history of. It’s a group of Arabs from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan holding the individual passport. Never been a country and never going to be. No one wants terrorists as their neighbors

    Yayyyy Queen!🤗 She really hit the nail on the head with her comment. I too was surprised and hurt when Nina made the comment "Now I understand" with reference to the injustice that black people experience on a daily basis. It made me think to myself that the term "People of Colour" should really be eradicated from the English language. Our experiences are wayyyy more different than I ever imagined. I commend Nina for her bravery and her relentless advocacy for Palestinians, despite all of the backlash she may receive. I stand with Palestine as well as other war torn countries experiencing mass displacement and genocide such as Sudan and DRC💗. They remain in my thoughts and prayers🙏🏿

      Wow. Thank you for this thoughtful response to the video! I think it is safe to say that most people do not know what it is like to be in a Black body and as we can see, this system will not just stop at Black folks. We all need to be freed and I hope it wont take everyone experiencing such violence and injustice for them to truly understand.

    Ask Meghan Markle what's it's like to know that she is biracial but once she married Prince Harry alot of racist people didn't see her as biracial they still see her and other biracial people as black nomatter how they look or if they have a white parent . Meghan Markle said that Now she realized what it is like to be a black biracial woman faced with racism . Some people said that she got her wake up call when it comes to racism . Some people even called her kids monkeys even if there father is white . People who are biracial or mixed with black should becareful how they identify in a racists society because it could be dangerous or hurtful in some ways and some of them get there racist wake up call to . All black people have to be careful . Most black people have gotten there racist wake up call just being born a black person . There is nothing wrong with being who we are but some people are mean . And children shouldn't be called monkeys or any other mean name . Nobody should be called out of there names if it's a bad name .Be blessed and safe . Miss . Linda ❤

    Thats what happens when you obsess over your phenotype. This "black" label is toxic and pathetic cause white colonizers gave it you us and instead of rejecting it, its embraced and policed by people like this My grandparents on both aides of my family are mixed. I have some of their phenotypes. My best friend is mixed. You know what ties us all together CULTURE. My culture doesnt hyper focus on phenotype. Thats why people in DR dont say they are black. Cause "black" is restrictive and racist. Their culture is more important. "Black" Ameicans racist obsession with phenotypes is why the "diaspora wars" exist.
