Ramzy Baroud Interviewed by George Galloway: ‘We Are Fighting a Cultural War with Israel’
Palestine Chronicle Editor, Ramzy Baroud appeared on RT’s Sputnik with George Galloway. Click here to watch.
Galloway said:
“If the Palestinians had a royal family, our guest this week would be a member of it. He’s one of the best-known writers and thinkers in the seemingly intractable conflict over a tiny piece of earth, smaller than a single park in South Africa.
"For 500 years those Jews who escaped with the Muslims from Spain found refuge in North Africa and eventually in Palestine. So history is clear, we are capable of coexisting we just can’t coexist with Zionism and racism." @RamzyBaroud on the Sputnik. Up next at 19.30 on @RT_com pic.twitter.com/zYckhYXod4

“In a very special Sputnik, we speak with Dr. Ramzy Baroud. He got his PhD from England’s famed Middle East department at Exeter University where the eminent Israeli historian professor Ilan Pappe resides.
"We're going through a cultural war with Israel. The fact is there are two people, two nations living on that piece of land, but under different rules. One is treated with superior status as 1st class citizens & the others have to contend with racist apartheid rules" @RamzyBaroud pic.twitter.com/D6eMBbWfcJ

“And yet Dr. Ramzy Baroud has no piece of earth he can call his own, which is perhaps why the latest of his four books is called “The Last Earth: A Palestinian Story.”
"For centuries many invaders came and went. Many of them, not just in Palestine but in the larger Arab world, were absorbed into that culture; we have that kind of culture. Palestine is a mosaic of cultures." @RamzyBaroud on the Sputnik today. Next at 9.30 on @RT_com pic.twitter.com/qbGtKnoCVz

The book has been likened to walking through a gallery of “old master”paintings and gives a voice to the ordinary people of Palestine. So, we invited Dr. Baroud to take a break from his worldwide book tour and join us in the Sputnik studio.”

April 20, 2018 at 9:25 pmThis was one of the best Sputnik episodes I have had the pleasure to watch. I should think that George would be smart enough to see that these people are getting their “ideas” for ethnic cleansing and genocide and all their other malfeasence from their “holy book.” This cannot be ignored and has driven peoples to extinction worldwide since it’s hateful inception of bunch of pedophile outcasts from thousands of years ago. And is continuing today, from their extreme hatred of any who do not tolerate their vicious beliefs, actions, and pre-pubescent genital mutilation which has for thousands of years made believers of these insane practices ostrocized.
Thanks for your speaking today, it as lovely and I hope more watch it.
