What this entire video. It is comes to from Dr Norman Finkelstein. I will not claim that his comes from him directly. The most important statement in the who video is stated in the first 30 seconds of the video. The second most important statements are made at 4:22 mark. What is asserted her is that within Israel here are ultra-nationalist who are willing to use dangerous rhetorical devices, protest, advocate violence, and have used violence as a means to achieve to reach their ends. On the first and most important point we can not just single out Itali, The United States,France, The Cheches, the Russian, the Gulf States and their get worker policy, and more we have to find a solution to the worlds refugee crisis. I have to illustrate the problem this way. There was a time in the Southern United States that for one reason or the other ethnic groups wanted to leave the south heading north. This was the great internal migration. The migrants were an innocent people. All of their farms had been lifted up by draw wind and carried away. Nothing grew not man or beat in their lands. They headed west. Even if the vial name they were call has been forgotten I remember. They were called the Okies. Most Okies were treated kindly by the states they walked and drove through on their way to California. Now the question the first 20 seconds of the video, and the personal events of my own life, lead me to ask this what is the responsibility of the country where out migration starts? What is the responsibility of the transit nations? And lastly is it far to focus on the problem from the point of view of an migrants ultimate destination? If you were to produce a video all along the chain of migration that would be fair. For example I can take you to a Mexican labor hall where the government of Mexico has posted a complete checklist of what to carry across the desert, what places along the route have water, and what to expect in the United States. There are two problems in the world nationality and the movement of nations. Under our current system those problem will not go away. For those of you who desire to single out any group of ultra-nationalist be they civil criminals in Israel, because everything you see in that video is a crime in Israel; The people in Central Africa who continue to kill millions of economic refugees a year, to the warlords in the Horn of Africa who point towards the road north or the earth below ones feet as a refugees only options, to the South East Asia Boat People now reaching the shores of Australia, please look at the problem in its entirety. Here is a personal note. Next Friday a refugee of Americas war in El Salvador is returning home. I can remember the day the Salvadorians arrived in America. It was an up hill battle. Americans wanted the Spanish Empire. They wanted to exert dominion under the Monroe Doctrine. When the kicked the Spanish out the did get the remaining raw materials and agricultural abundance but they also got in return millions of new dependents in their empire. Empire comes with a price, “like magic”. The British creation which is Israel has to pay a price for economic success. Even with empire there is no such thing as a free lunch. ultra-nationalist no matter where they reside always have the same simple solution. Abrogate all treaties, to hell with international norms, kick everyone but us out. That is not a Zionist formulation. That is not an American formulation. That is not a European, Asian, or Arab formulation. That is pure tribalism and ultra-nationalist Any comparison with National Socialism may well be an attractive thought but it is a thought that is moving down a slippery slope to nihilism and thus the unraveling of international laws, norms, and conventions. In Natura bevium The world has a refugee and migration problem. I would suggest we solve it. If the solution must start first in Israel? Fine, that is as good a place as any. Here is a counter claim, I understand that you should not accept this counter claim on face value. I am only pointing out that every person on earth, in my opinion, ought to have the right to move any place on earth that suite him or her. I think that those of you who are not for universal and unfettered immigration will always have to deal with claims and counter claims of ultra-nationalist and nationalities. science.co.il/Arab-Israeli-conflict/Refugees.asp#Whathas https://facebook/photo.php?v=10151915107113984&set=vb.212540245450324&type=2&theater
