Mohammed El-Kurd: Palestine | Lex Fridman Podcast #391

Crazy that I have lived into adulthood and never heard these perspectives. I was nodding along when Netanyahu was on because I had heard all of that framing again and again...when I listened to this I just had my mouth open in dismay. I feel very upset that this is happening. Thanks for hosting him and publishing this.

This one made me emotional... the world is messed up, I am so sorry for Palestine

This is such important media content that literally didn’t exist on the mainstream internet before Lex began this journey. I have nothing but respect and admiration for you Lex

Wow, he doesn't have a citizenship???? That's like when the Irish weren't citizens in their own country during the English occupation! It's truly mind-blowing that countries which like to claim they are civilised have this going on under their control!!!

Kudos Lex! You have a gained a new level of respect from me after giving this man a platform to tell the truth about whats going on in the area.

His voice and every word of him is full of unimaginable pain and sorrow😢

When al Kurd said: every time im looking at my life from a bird eye view i say what a circus” i started laughing like crazy… god bless him for his resilience and humor

God bless you and thank you so much for hosting him Lex you really did a fabulous job.

Wonder how many brilliant Mohammed El Kurd’s lives have been cut short never to be heard again.
