  1. Zahir Muhsein was a Palestinian leader of the pro-Syria As-Sa'iqa Ba'athist faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization between 1971 and 1979.

    In an interview with Trouw Magazine, 31. March 1977 he stated….."The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel and for Arab unity

  2. Thank you Mister, I take note that Germany has not yet recognized the genocide in Namibia more than 200 years later! Yes they must be afraid what is waiting for them, but in supporting Israel it can get worser for them. I wish that the truth will come out and that justice will be done. I am myself german and more than deeply disgusted of my country

  3. While I disagree with Germany on their Israel policy, the "not being fit" argument is weak. Du you feel the politicians of today are responsible for the war crimes of the past? Their current arguments are bad, but no one came to them based on anything the Nazis did in the past.

  4. In a strong field of dumber than stupid that is the dumbest and most stupid statement I have ever heard in my life. Germany is the very most credible nation to define what genocide is. Has Germany said we know what you decide is where the one who created it. And it’s true the words not exist until the Germans initiated the shower. This is drivel piffle sinister piddle

  5. I doubt that the German People are in support of Israeli genocide. Another case of the government vs. The People. — The Elite vs. the masses. A so-called "democracy" vs. a Fascist regime.

  6. Your reporting is appreciated however why are the people you are interviewing given so little time to speak. As a viewer, a listener a few more minutes just would make the difference between listening to a conversation rather than a report where people’s sentences are cut off and the listener almost feels stressed because there’s seemingly just not enough time even another minute to hear people out and let them speak. Why? Why? This makes listening stressful and sickening
