Hi, my name is Ezra Mor, and this is the Palestinian community in the Netherlands, which is no different from any other bunch of keffiyeh-wearing freaks and fatties. [0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=14) And this week, to mark the ongoing three- year genocide and the Nakba, now in its seventy- eighth year, this Dutch drug den announced a sit- in strike that will take place, of course, on October 7. [0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=27) And that's no surprise, since so many events supporting Palestinian terrorists around the world are scheduled for October 7. [0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=35) Because, by stealing this date and declaring October 7 Genocide Day, left- liberal parasites hope to make everyone forget about the attack Hamas terrorists' attack on Israel on October 7, that is, the root cause of the war in the Gaza Strip. [0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=48) And then the myth of a genocide that began spontaneously and without cause will take root in history, just like the myth of that very Nakba, which supposedly has been going on for seventy- eight years, and which I actually wanted to talk about in the first place. [1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=61) After all, thanks to exactly the same distortion of history that the Palestinian community in the Netherlands is trying to pull off right now, over the past seventy- eight years, the myth of the Nakba was formed in exactly the same way, as some mythical expulsion of some mythical Arabs from their [1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=76) mythical homes, which is absolute nonsense. [1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=79) But to establish that, you and I need to find out when, by whom exactly, and in what context the word Nakba was first used, and what it It means. And can you imagine, it’s all known to you and me. [1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=91) Meet the Syrian historian and intellectual, one of the ideologues of Arab nationalism, Constantine Zureiq, who in August 1948, that is, while the war for Israel’s independence was at its height, while in Lebanon’s capital, [1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=106) the city of Beirut, publishes a pamphlet that is literally called “The Meaning of the Nakba,” or, translated from Arabic, “The Meaning of the Catastrophe,” in which the Syrian historian Constantine Zureiq, for the first time in history, uses the word Nakba in reference to Israel. [2:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=120) And now for the funniest part: Constantine Zureiq said nothing about Palestinian refugees, nothing about the expulsion of the poor Arabs from their homes, and nothing about Zionist colonialism. [2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=129) None of that was even remotely what Constantine Zureiq was talking about when describing the Nakba. [2:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=134) Actually, using this word solely to describe the defeat of the Arab states in the 1948 war and their inability to prevent the creation of Israel, while specifically emphasizing that this was not a temporary Naksa setback, but a true Nakba catastrophe for the entire Arab people, [2:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=152) stemming from internal weakness, division, and the Arabs’ backwardness compared to the Jews. [2:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=159) The word Nakba never meant the expulsion of Arabs or ethnic cleansing. It meant Arab ineptitude, which, through the distortion of history, was turned into a myth of the suffering of the Palestinian people. And now they’re trying to do the same thing with the date of October 7. [2:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=174) Whether they succeed or not depends only on us. [2:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/CXXnp8wJgdnc/en/ezra-mor-on-the-nakba-constantine-zureiq-and-october-7?t=178) All the best.
