So the guy is accusing Israelis of dehumanizing the Palestinians, but the Palestinians are doing the same. Again, this is not new, and it is a very typical situation in ethnic conflicts out of mutual resentment. It is also the struggle of the conquered.
I don't think this journalist is a hero for standing up and speaking. I just think he is purposely? ignorant.

Where does he present himself as siding with the "righteous" side? This speech was done in 2015, not last month in October. This journalist is an Israeli Jew. Are you saying that he is purposely dehumanizing the Palestinians? Or is he dehumanizing himself and his fellow Israeli Jews? Please forgive me, I'm just trying to understand you. You are causing me to re-watch and listen to this video over and over. Maybe you can spoon feed me on this topic? Since I missing what you are seeing.
