EXCELLENT VIDEO: Ambassador Afif Safieh on “Israel/Palestine: History is undecided” September 23, 2010
World Affairs Council -Â 1 August 2006
Editor’s Note: Although Palestinian Ambassador Safieh spoke on the subject four years ago while posted in Washington, his observations are just as relevant today and serve to highlight the ludicrous nature of today’s peace talks which Ambassador Safieh then called “a permanent process” after 13 years of failed talks. Today, that process is pushing 17 years with no peace and certainly no justice for Palestinians in sight. This experienced and highly regarded diplomat delivers a fast-paced, energetic and insightful overview of why no progress has been made in all this time and answers the many questions still being asked today with all the authority of a man steeped in history, culture and diplomacy, all the while advocating for the dignity of his people whom he says are not “children of a lesser God”.
