"Clear Intention of Ethnic Cleansing": Holocaust Scholar Omer Bartov Warns of Genocide in Gaza
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- Israeli American scholar Omer Bartov, one of the world's leading experts on the Holocaust, says Israel's brutal assault on the Gaza Strip is at risk of becoming a genocide. The monthlong air and ground war has killed more than 11,000 Palestinians in the besieged enclave, a majority of them women and children. Israel has also severely limited the movement of food, water, fuel, medicine and other essentials into Gaza. Bartov says the disproportionate killing of civilians by Israel, as well as dehumanizing statements by Israeli leaders and suggestions of mass expulsion, are of grave concern. He recently joined hundreds of lawyers and academics in signing an open letter warning about Israel's violations of international law in Gaza. "There is an indication that there are war crimes happening in Gaza, potentially also crimes against humanity," says Bartov. "If this so-called operation continues, that may become ethnic cleansing … and that may become genocide."

Arrest Netanyahu for his war crimes in Gaza!
Pack your bags and leave.
Been saying that in past for his corruption in Israel govt . but this is the consequences rightfully so .
@@UnprofessionalExpert No you should be apprehended for stupidity 🤣 🙈🙉🙊
@@UnprofessionalExpertWhat for?
How many children has israel killed today?
How is it that Netanyahu is allowed to live but Palestinian children are not?????
I’m so glad this is finally being talked about 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Excellent Prof! You truly are the definition of a professor! Brave, truth seeker, intelligent and very human. Thank you.
Talking out his 🌽HOLE like ALL VILE KORANIMAL FILTH🖕👊🏿
I just don’t get how there can be a whole country that can justify what they have done to the Palestinians. Whatever you wanna talk about what has happened since, how did Israel think forcibly displacing 750,000 Palestinians in their home would just be something that everyone would just forget and move on from. The apartheid in Israel is worst that in South Africa but no one even accepts or acknowledges that
The nazis did it. Now the jews ❤
Live near the palestinians for 1 year and i can assure you everything will suddenly become clear..
There is no apartheid in Israel, nor is there an actual genocide. It's truly embarrassing how ignorant you are.
What % of Israel is Arab? Muslim? Do they have full rights?
@@lironlevi ignorance is the mother of all evil
@@lironleviit’s called, “The CREATED State.” Always remember that!
"Never Again" and "Never Forget" shouldn't apply only to Jewish people. Gaza is the biggest concentration camp in the world. How is it right the way that Israel has been treating Palestinians for the past 75 years?
Well if the US promotes and the West ignores the truth its easy to manipulate the puppet ppl who are too busy with there own materialistic lives or just surviving. Govts n elites are very good at cover ups and justifying there actions without any consequences. Even now first question is "do u condemn Hammas"? Id ask " do u condemn Israel for 75+ years of occupation, oppression, brutality, murders, concentration camps? Hamas is fighting for its ppl. What's Israel's excuse?
It's at least getting around to average world citizens EXACTLY what has been going on since 1948. And people are protesting and marching and writing and calling "leaders" to get them to stop zionist aggression.
from Gaza, thank you for telling the truth
God bliss you. The whole Muslims world prayer for you in Gaza. In our masjed evey عشاء we read surah yasin.
At the end truth will prevail.
From Canada
The world is with you, even though you cannot see it. We will never give up on your freedom.
100,000 people in Toronto yesterday ,biggest protest yet, and we are certainly hoping that they will just keep getting bigger. Considering many of us believe that the Nov 7 attack was a false flag by Israel, I couldnt help wonder if Israel planned to do it at this time when they know it will be getting much colder in many western countries like the USA or here in Canada especially ,so that the protests may be hindered by weather conditions. They must be aware that people rising up, mostly at the organized protests,are their biggest threat. It seems to me it was a similar situation when the COVID lockdowns started which was also late in the fall. Then when the protests started getting out of hand the whole George Floyd thing just seemed to happen,and then there were BLM protests all over the place which totally overshadowed the lockdown protests in North America which was becoming a problem for them
I don’t feel any respect for Israeli leaders anymore, but this man is the exception, I respect him because he speaks openly about his own country and his own people about what they truly are, we need more people like him to tell the world the truth about Israel
No one respects you
Why have respect for them in the first place?

The Jewish world contributed 213 Nobel Prizes to the world. 5 from Israel.
From Einstein to Bob Dylan.
And a democratic Jewish state for the Arabs of Israel as well.
What have the 50 countries of the Muslim world contributed to your world?
Terrorist organizations that murdered and massacred millions of Muslims. In Iraq, Syria, Africa, Afghanistan and Yemen.On October 7 they murdered and massacred 1400 babies, children, old people and 250 boys and girls celebrating music.And 240 citizens from many countries were kidnapped to the hell of Gaza
The anti-Semitic jealousy eats THE soul.
While in Israel the Lion of ZION ROAR
So why do you insult Allah by shouting his name while you murder His mothers, rape His daughters and burn His babies? When you do these things in his name you are saying Allah is too weak to kill for himself, so you must kill for him. YOU have been deceived bt the great deceiver, Satan himself. So now, there will never be a Palestine.

Actually we do, both Netanyahu and his gang of Genocidal psychopaths and the Terrorist group Hamas! Israeli government keeps this up and Israel will no longer exist "again" and by their own hand, "again"! You cannot create so much hate by stealing land that didn't and doesn't belong to you, kill innocents, and throw people in jail just for fighting to keep their property, locking them up with the terrorist group Hamas that Netanyahu brought into Palestine long ago to keep a two state solution from happening. It's WRONG

EXACTLY, THE BRUTALITY & THE SUPERIORITY COMPLEX WHICH IS NOW INGRAINED INTO ISRAELI IMMIGRANT SETTLERS WAS PUT THERE NOT JUST THROUGH HOME & SOCIAL CONDITIONING BUT VIA THEIR COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAINING AT AGE 17 - WHEN THEY ARE PUT IN CHARGE OF OTHER HUMAN BEINGS WHO THEY ARE TOLD ARE SUBHUMANS - WHOSE LIVES DON'T MATTER - THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY IF YOU INDIVIDUALLY, OR AS A GROUP - THREATEN, ATTACK, BEAT, ARREST, IMPRISON WITHOUT TRIAL AND KILL A PALESTINIAN ADULT OR A CHILD !

THIS IS REVENGE AND COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT AND ETHNIC CLEANSING AND LAND GRABBING ALL COMBINED.
ISRAEL IS ALWAYS LAND GRABBING AND FORCING PALESTINIANS OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND OFF THEIR LANDS - KILLING ANY WHO RESIST !
HOW ELSE COULD ISRAEL BUILD 132 LARGE ILLEGAL ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS - HOUSING 670,000 ILLEGAL ISRAELI SETTLERS - ENCLOSING LARGE AREAS OF PALESTINIAN LAND WITH SECURITY FENCING - WHICH ZIG ZAG ACROSS THE WEST BANK MAKING ENORMOUS DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS BARRIERS TO THE NATIVE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE - WHO WILL BE SHOT - IF THEY WALK WITH 350 FEET OF

Precisely! Very succinct and exactly on point.
Good job ignoring the fact that "another population" openly calls for eradication of the other people, openly claim in their religion, in their political charter and even after october 7. What a joke!
Clear as mud is your point.
i am genuinely repulsed by Israel's treatment of Palestinians
Maybe the Palestinians shouldn't keep on starting wars they can't win.
The Palestinian people are also a Semitic race , you may want to look this up .
So isn't it totally bizarre that Israel is committing the most horrific anti Semitic war crimes the world has ever seen .
The problem is Israel gets away with it while others get the full force of international law thrown at them .
They are hypocrits most people just dont understand
They are not antisemitic war crimes. They are predicated on Islamaphobia. Islamophobia and antisemitism are *not* the same thing. Antisemitism as a word was invented in order to "scientifically" describe the hatred of Jews. It does a disservice to those impacted by both kinds of hateful bigotry to conflate antisemitism and Islamaphobia.
It gets tiring having to combat this fallacy as I've been seeing it everywhere...
While not every antisemite is an Islamophobia, the converse is also true. And while someone can be the victim of one type of hate, whether Islamaphobia or antisemitism, they can be simultaneously guilty of the other kind.
A ceasefire works in israel's favor only ~ not the Palestinian civilians and certainly not Hamas.
A ceasefire would still allow israel to withhold food water and medical supplies for the Palestinians ~ not just the bombs.
Jews have certainly come full circle.
Holocaust 1.0 was inflicted by others on the Jews.
Holocaust 2.0 is now being inflicted by the Jews on 'others'.
Israel has a helluva way of acquiring property they want to own using the blood of another group of people as payment.
Who will be next after the Palestinians???
@@hippocraticloafWho would you be without your core identity as a perpetual 'victim' of your own life?
I am surprised how many Jews oppose publicly the current Israely politics. These are brave people.
If interested, give a listen to Rabbi Dovid Weiss for an orthodox view on zionism. (hint: zionism is an evil.)
It highlights the truth that opposition to Israel is not opposition to Jews, not antisemitism.
What is brave about them? They live in free country
@@nataliross7444 Palestinian flags are banned and pro-Palestine protests are brutally repressed, so them continuing to speak out IS bravery.
@@Moosemoose1 They are banned in Europe not in Israel 🤣 , yes surprise. Pro Palestinians protesters? Do you mean those who are throwing stones in West Bank? Or those who were violently protesting in Israel? Never ever was peaceful protesting banned. There are Arab congressmen in Israel that are speaking against Israel 🤣 very easy to check that fact. Yes they are paid by Israeli tax payer and they are talking against Israel 😆 This is how liberal Israel is.
If one can not see this crime in the name of “right to defend it self” then one is truly blind and lost the human soul!
Very true
Maui wild fire
So true, it may have taken 18 yrs to find some kind of weapon that would make the WHOLE WORLD hear. The anguish had risen so high it was "DO now or DIE later." My prayers are with the living and the fallen. Free Palestine from the river to the sea.
Israel wants to get rid of Hamas It's not their fault that Hamas putting their tunnels and rockets in civilian areas.
@@malindadavis8577”Maui wild fire”? What about it and how is it relevant to this discussion?
No one will stop this and help these human women, men and children in the meantime they are being destroyed per plan. Disgustingly. We will remember!
You might for a few weeks , but after the conflict is over and the dust settles you will move on with your life and forget all about it. And all the people, events, and ideologies will be moved into the garbage bin of history just like they always have been in the past and will be in future conflicts around the globe. Nothing new under the sun.
Remember what a war ? this is what happens in war people die men women children . I bet you are American ? You Yanks think only squaddies die in wars lol
Remember it, write it down...we don't give a fuck 🇺🇸
Crimes against humanity
Like the Trans-Atlantic slave trade?
What hamas does and said they will continue to do indeed.
How is it possible to forget that Palestinians are human beings whose ancestors were expelled from their land in refugee camps where they would remain? These are human beings whom Israel dispossessed and expelled. Israel conquered them again in their land of refuge and then turned them into animals in a cage.
Though what Hamas did is inhuman and unforgivable, and it must be condemned. Nonetheless, people should bear in mind that there is a background that does not justify what Hamas has done but it does explain it, and it's important to keep that background in mind.
That it was the IDF who assassinated most of the Israelis Hamas tried to take hostage in October? Or that Hamas was created and urged and infiltrated and funded and controlled by Netenyahu (by his own admission), Mossad and CIA? Yes these facts should be stated anytime anyone refers to those atrocities. Not just ‘other context’ - state what it is! 🆘
genocide - people don't remember what happened in rwanda; armenia; holocaust when all "unwanted people were included".. call genocide a genocide. call ethnic cleansing as IT IS. call OCCUPATION an OCCUPATION.
humanity corridors; humanity "breaks" - what a cruel ironic use of words.
I've never seen a comment before that covers the issue so accurately.
@@mspenelope6874where did you learn to lie so blatantly?!
You probably would understand the situation much better if you studied history. Gazan was Egyptian. Egypt attacked Israel along with Jordan, Syria and Lebanon and lost. Egypt didn't want Gaza back. The Palestinians were expelled by those nations often after massive slaughters. Israel existed before the Palestinians.
"You can't build happiness on someone else's grief" - is a proverb.
You shouldn't have stolen and stolen (land, house, peace happiness) what wasn't yours. ☝️☝️
It was once theirs for thousands of years then it wasn't. Now 2000 years after the Jewish diaspora, and the land being conquered over and over again it's back in their hands by another conquest. Wash, rinse and repeat. Nothing new.
Few people know of or remember the Vietnamese boat people. Roughly 1.2 million people forced out of their homeland. 400,00 died and the other landed safely in other countries. Remember the Hoa people? How about the Armenians at the hands of the Turks? In time everyone will forget all these things, and everything and everyone is assigned to the dustbin of history.
Stolen in the sense of completely withdrawing in 2005?
really.....
Thank you for always sharing the truth and your bravery. We salute you Democracy Now!
Ethnic cleansing has taken place in Palestine since 1948 and has never stopped.
Please get your story straight. Thats what happens when you run with everything everybody else is saying.
And yet the population of Gaza has tripled in that time.
Defending the Palestinian cause is the dividing line of humanity between right and wrong, because it is costly, as Nelson Mandela said, “Our freedom will not be complete without the freedom of the Palestinian people.”🌵🇦🇪
Kiss Israel goodbye Palestinians. You will be free to roam the Earth just like the Jews did following 70AD.
They used their freedom in Gaza to fire rockets and kidnapping people. I don't want neighbors like that.
So true 😢❤🙏
Nelson Mandela saw apartheid in Gaza because he lived through it in South Africa.
Spoken from a true terrorist
Most shameful organizations. Total dehumanization.
One of the most anachronistic violent events of the 21st century. Meaningless and with a high level of obsolescence. Shameful and despicable, to say the least. The world is completely perplexed. 6:57
Thank you Amy for having Professor Bartov on your show. It is important to hear Jewish people criticize the Israel occupation and genocide of the Palestinian people. I'm grateful Democracy Now is on the right side of this particular issue unlike some other issues.
The abused child grows up and becomes the abuser.
Break the cycle.
How ?

How will this kids will grow up ? Their mental health is broken already for the rest of their lives !
In all fairness some Israelis/Jews have broken the cycle (and it isn't easy). At the same time the logic of the Zionist state continues to hold sway.
Why didnt European country and US stop Natanahu, the limit of self defence is over, with 11k civilians killed ??
It is public knowledge that both parties in the USA bow down to and obey what the L
Jewish Lobby (AIPAC) tells them to do.
They are all bought out, by design in preparation for this very thing. None of them will dare say anything.
We became a Jewish-American colony.
They are the same nzi
The EU has become the lap dog to the US and the US is beholden to Israel. When both Biden and Trump are now on the same page you know who rules the roost.
Both parties and the mainstream media are running sob story after sob story about some Israeli families and hardly anything from the other side. No longer much different now in this between Fox, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax and the little channels.
Humans are all the same, no matter what religion they belong to. But some of those who have experienced the loss of their loved ones during the Holocaust, it's beyond comprehension how they justify their behaviour and treatment towards Palestinians. Thank you Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzales for bringing these great interviews to your audience.
I always thought Jewish were good people.. but I can not said that anymore. After all the horrible things they have done to Palestinians.. I can not believe how racist they are..
@@castaaparicio614975 years of abuse and war crimes….and the western world enables them

@@castaaparicio6149 What do you think of the atrocities committed by Hamas on Oct 6th? Perhaps you should look them up as you may be ignorant of them. The only reasons I can think of for not understanding why Hamas needs to be eliminated are a) you are in Hamas yourself b) you are ignorant of Hamas.
@@OrangeNashwhen and how did hamas come into existence? Not every one is evil and ignorant. We know what Europe did and who is vilifying and biting the hand that helped them.

Violence create anger and anger create hate and hate create revenge.

so should we have sat by in ww2 while nazi germany went on a murder spree ???
Well, the thing is all of this has a root cause, and it's the occupation of illegal occupation and apartheid. You do so much evil for decades against people. You create the evil you inflict or hearts to harden against you. Unfortunately, the political powers want you to believe that Hamas is the root cause they just out no where attacks Israeli people for no good reason. Israeli government has done way too much for way too long. The Palestinians want to be heard, and children are begging for them to stop. I have kids I can not accept this continued the crimes against humanity decades thereof. We cried at the inhumane treatment of the jews by Nazi's. Why is it that some of the people want to condone Israel apartheid, genocide and inhumanity.
Just to play devil's advocate, though: the thing you left out was "justice". I think justice is an overrated thing, but most people think violence for a just cause is often acceptable, including some people who justify the violence on both sides of this conflict in that way. So that's where your plan (not that I think you were really suggesting a plan per se) fails
well said- agreed
They seem to forget, when many countries in the world gathered their strenghts to fight the same evil that they are now perpetuating... just of all people, they should now better! There is no excuse for what's been done till now.
It’s a common theme for IDF veterans to end up being against the Isreali government. They witness and commit the oppression first hand and when you have conscription you end up with plenty of morally sound people committing acts they later go on to deeply regret. There’s plenty of videos on RUclips of former IDF soldiers speaking out and they go years back.
Even Jewish people are speaking against the white European Jews of Israel because they are behaving like a Hitler's Nazis
katiebrady7361,

this journalist lady is brave and adorable , thank you for informing us with facts and realities!
Few facts - and even less realities, alas.
I don't know how so many western news anchors and politicians keep saying this is not a genocide
Um, maybe because it's not?
Gaza is an open-air prison, where people have numbers, their food and water are controlled to be just above starvation level and in and out of the prison is not easy. Now they are bombarded and no supplies are allowed.
but sadly Hamas is the warden, controlling the territory, building bases under mosques and hospitals, intentionally exposing civilians to dangers, siphoning off $ and resources for their jihadist agenda.
Agreed. A ceasefire works in israel's favor only ~ not the Palestinian civilians and certainly not Hamas.
A ceasefire would still allow israel to withhold food water and medical supplies for the Palestinians ~ not just the bombs.

Over 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza. 4,000 Children and babies.
Many are still buried under the rubble, so we really don't know, just how many people have died.
They're governing themselves in there. why did they not build their own power plant and water facilities with the billions of aid money? why is Israel providing them that in the first place?
@@ghosthunter0950 Many things were (are) forbidden by Israel. For example, I heard that they are not allowed to gather water like rain water..
How can this supposed scholar on Genocide say with a clear conscience that this is Not Genocide? Is he blind? Are we blind? Their hearts are closed so they can't see the truth. So astounding!!
Honestly the first day I saw those bombs hitting I was surprised there was not 10k dead. Certainly a lot of people are dying but when you look at Gaza, and how crowded it is, there is a clear will from Israel to minimize civilian casualties especially when you see they can drop upwards of 200 bombs a day.
I think if they wanted to commit a genocide the 2 million gazans would have been dead in a week, the land completely flattened and ready for reconstruction. It's not what's happening though...
What Hitler did to the Jews in WW2 was genocide. What Hamas intended to do on October 7th was genocide. Get your facts straight.
Keep your nonsense from the Quran to yourself. I'm a murtadah and your heart is closed.
I agree
@@Tanouuuuwell they are trying very hard to kill every single one of these innocent people
It's not a potential genocide. It is a genocide. Period.
The people forced to leave their homes - unless they don't want to be buried under the rubble of them - know full well that there will be nothing to return to. They have seen this rotten game play out time and again.
"Clear intention of ethnic cleansing"? Now you tell me! Who would have guessed this in 1948 after the Nakba? Or every year from that time to this, watching Israel expand while Palestine shrinks?
There has NEVER - repeat NEVER - been any Arab Palestine, because the Arabs were refusing any effort to build one.
Israel’s evacuation order hit a particularly raw nerve for the 70 percent of Gaza residents who are already refugees-having fled their homes in what is now Israel in 1948-and their descendants. They have never been allowed back. That refusal of their right to return is one of the root causes of the current violence. It also made this morning’s order feel particularly terrifying. Some of the older people fleeing northern Gaza today remember the homes they fled seventy-five years ago, as the Israeli military then, too, approached their cities, towns, and villages. They remember, also, that they were not allowed to come back. The trauma and questioning parents and grandparents. The conditioned experience. No Where to Go 😢
Lozzygoz,
Exactly, the crimes being committed by the Israeli government "Netanyahu " are crimes against humanity, how they turn a blind eye to the crimes they commit towards the innocent Palestinians on a day to day bases, this is why they were removed from the Middle East in the first place, for such an educated group it's a shame this purposely goes right over their heads. We all need to learn to respect our neighbors not murder them!
There is a reason. The same reason that Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, and all other Arab countries stopped accepting Palestinian refugees.
Refuges?!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Palestinians already were killed before 7th October but slowly. The armed settlers expelled many Palestinians from their houses in the west bank, killed some of them, and some are arrested just because they were trying to get their rights and the world was blind and silent. Gazza was besieged. The journalist Shereen Abu Aqla was killed by Israeli force year before October 7 while covering occupation atrocities in the west bank. Itamar Ben Gfir and his party let settlers carry weapons as they want and attack Palestinians in their houses. They also support building illegal settlements everywhere. No one in the world said they are terrorists. How can people live such a life in their homeland? How can they defend while they are under the control of a cruel occupation that forbids their defense
@@ianchu8232 They did that because they are already home to generations of millions of refugees Israel has refused, in every discussion of a Two-State Solution, to consider allowing to return.
I wish all world politicians were as honest and inteligent as this gentleman ❤❤❤❤
The Gaza strip has been called by many, an open-air concentration camp.
That's because it is a big huge open air concentration camp where their food, water, air are being poisoned. It has now turned into a big huge open air cemetery.
And they were all very, very wrong.
Sadly, the statement of “.. is at risk of becoming a genocide…” is already showing his prejudice and biases in assessing the current crime committed by Israel.
Exaclty. He is an Isaeli and should not have been called to give his opinion of Genocide in this situation.
Exactly. Especially considering the rate of death. Over a million American lives would be lost if they were attacked in such a way. That would be considered a genocide if that many lives were lost in a month, but we tolerate it with Palestine. And we can't ignore how they are killing children on purpose. Even if that's not on their agenda, that is what they are doing. Every 10 minutes a child is murdered by the IDF. Over 4000 children dead unless the data has changed. This is OBSCENE and absolutely indefensible.
@@Justice-101opinions are welcome gives us all insight into the other side . We need to hear everyone’s . Don’t be so close minded if you seek justice 😂?

But I don't think I have ever been more disappointed by the fact that a people who were subjected to such injustice can turn around and subject others to similar brutality. What happened to compassion, empathy and justice for others? I know that there are many Jews who understand what is happening under this far right Israeli government is wrong and if it isn't genocide then I have no clue what else you can call it.
this guy is telling the truth !
Thank you Amy & Juan plus your exemplary team.
The beauty of being an American is the ability for us to speak our minds and choose what we want to believe in. But all politics set to the side, this conflict arose and started from the act of Hamas coming into Israel and killing, raping and capturing hostages. I have been having nightmares because of this. It has affected my sleep. I can’t imagine what everyone else who are in the war are going through. But Israel has a responsibility to protect their people. They have the right to exercise their right just like America has been doing for x years.
Thank you for your work.
I have never come across a more arrogant man as Natenyahu..and to let him do freely what he wants is just horrifying
He is a criminal
This is what happens when a person hold on to power for far too long. I grew up in a dictatorship atmosphere before I immigrated to the States. By my definition: "A dictatorship is a person or group of persons who acquires absolute power by a controlling majority of the political class (i.e. Civil Activists, Military activist, groups active in politics) for prolong periods of time". The longer they stay in power, the more they want to hold on to it, and that gets more difficult as time goes on, and then they move towards extreme measures purely for fear of losing power. “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely". A prime minister for 15 years? Its an indictment in the flaw of Israel's structure of Govt.
Netanyahu is a corrupt leader who's playing God. Where is justice?
One day he will stand before God don't worry . He will have to give an account for all the evil he has done .
He’s a bully gangster what can you do?
Indonesian Muslim Council already make a fatwa that is forbiden (Haram) for Indonesian Muslim to buy Israel products. This will be a great movement of action i/o condemnation toward Israel act of Barbarism and International violence. We hope all Muslim countries following the same for humanity.
Excellent interview. Thank you very much. Especially, thank you very much Mr. Omer Bartov.
I've read Omer Bartov's book on the Wehrmacht. Well researched and written.
Yes Amy Good question. This man is not clear on terms. People are being slaughtered. It's all of the above. Free Palestine...
Are US officials even listening to UN officials? Are they hearing what’s being said?
they do not care, because AIPAC lobbyist paid them all and funded their campaign! As long as this happen all politician in America will not do anything, for them money and power are more important. American government both republican and democrat are under the hands of Israhell. Netanyahu said it himself.
why would they? The US is just as guitly in this genocide as Israel
They don't care. They just see their agenda 😢
@@nuitsnight true. The problem is there is no alternative.
Since when do they care?
Thank you for this interview ❤
I hope forever this channel continues to bring us the hidden stories from the other side and when their viewers increase and one day become a main stream media, remains with the same goals and motives and not be influenced/controlled by rulers to become like the currently existing ones.
Take action
Stand up for justice!
Stand up with Palestine!

Looking at the video, I recalled the US attacks of many cities in Japan during WWII. They killed hundreds of thousands of innocent citizens, in particular women, children and old people because young men had already left for battlefields. They first set fire around Tokyo to not enable people to run from city center and bombarded killing over 100,000 in just one night. They did the same things in other big cities, such as Osaka, Fukuoka, Sendai, etc., in addition to two atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing more than 200,000 people in just a few seconds. They can never justify the use of atomic bombs and what they did against Japanese people. They are now teaching Israel to do the same.
That's how America can give their blessing for this to happen. America is truly evil.
It's called war you doofus. Hamas started it, Israel will fish it.
I am sorry for the loss of lives in Japan
Yes.
How can we get humanity to stop empowering OLD MEN ADDICTED TO WEALTH AND POWER? Without manipulated masses giving these old addicts power, the world would be a lot more just and peaceful. Around the world I see greedy old men literally devouring big parts of the world, its lives, its resources. Sickening.
What can we do?
Situation is similar, isn't it. Japan attacked America. Palestinians attacked Israel.
FAFO. Too late to start crying now. They should have thought about that on October 7.
Brilliant man.
A Eye 4 A Eye Leaves everyone Blind 💔
Intention? What about action? It’s happening now, its underway, not a plan for the future! And it was always known to be the intention!
Intention the hardest thing to demonstrate. The Turks, for instance, cite the lack of documents that show deliberate government policy as an argument to deny the Armenian genocide by the Ottomans.
Wait - if it has always been the intention, (1) why did any of this not happen before 7.10? (2) why does Israel attempt to evacuate civilians from dangerous areas? (3) why did Israel decide on 2005 to stop all Israeli presence in Gaza, get out of Gaza, and allow Gaza to have its own leadership and government?
It isn't so hard to see the intention here, between some of Israel's hateful statements about turning Gaza into a parking lot, and animals, and searching "Ben Gurion Canal" and seeing that it will meet the Mediterranean as it passes through Gaza! There is often an economic basis for a war, but the principal actors need to drum up hatred to motivate their soldiers. Religion helps too, when people think God is on their side.
Listen to Buffy Sainte-Marie's " Universal Soldier" and THINK, and feel!
Really? Or, someone told you this. I suspect you don't speak Hebrew or Arabic so I question whether you would have known anything that was in an Israeli's mind?
@@Marss13z I’m an academic who has fieldwork experience in collecting data on ethnic cleansing and genocide and then establishing proof of such plans in government policy- actually. Specifically in the Middle East, speaking Arabic, so seriously get off your pedastal and stop assuming you are superior to everyone else including your Maker! The Zionist ideology of superiority over all other human beings is what the core problem is fuelling the problem in both Israeli society and Palestine. It’s behind all extremist nationalist movements - pathological racism and delusions of grandeur.
I watched the movie "pianist" 20 years ago and i was moved by the suffering of the Jewish people and am a Muslim. Am really confused why the jewish people can not compromise and sort the mess and suffering of Palestinians
No confusion, history warned us about them. He cries out in pain as he strikes you - an Old Polish proverb.
Because the Muslims need to stop blaming everyone but themselves
The "Jewish people" are not one group. There are Israelis and non-Israelis. There are disagreements. There is a particular trajectory to the variety of Israelis who now dominate that country which can't be explained by looking at Jews per se. There are even divides between Palestinians.
@@donut3946 The Yew tells you everything that happened to him, but never why - Old Russian proverb
Truly sickening what our governments allow to happen, if this was americans or the loved ones of major gov leaders they would truly understand what they're allowing to happen to innocent people. There should be no reason to ethnically cleanse anyone, no matter the circumstance or what your belief is.
This is the perfect example of 'two wrongs don't make a right'.
Israel should pay palestine and its people the same type of Reparations that Germany is paying them. They should also foot the entire bill to rebuild Palestine.
Of course its genocide but ignoring that for a moment the "jewish State" is an apartheid state which according to UN is also a crime against humanity and as bad as genocide itself. The world has accepted this brutality for over 50 years!
UN is responsible for what is happening in Gaza. They have been allowing terrorism to grow if not encouraged it
Honestly can we even be surprised that a group such as Hamas has risen up?
Are they supposed to sit at home and just die slowly, with no hope of liberation?
I don’t justify the violence but it is to be expected. This is not the first time a militant group has formed when under oppression
You want to know about genocide? Study the Holocaust and stop flapping your gums.
Why? How does this continue to happen?
Israel is a country of 7 or 8 million with nuclear capabilities. I repeat, a country. Gaza and West Bank aren't. This is the fact that even the natives of America eventually accepted. If Pals are prepared to die for some land, Israel seems ok with that. It's Israel, not Palestine. This debate isn't a debate. The tanks and jets prove this. Tunnels and flying lawn chairs don't.
Question? When Russia brutally attacked Ukraine / Neighboring Countries opened borders to allow mostly Women & Children to reach safety, food, medicine, shelter. Even allowing young Russian men to leave who did NOT want to be Soldiers. Why? Hasn’t Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan opened Corridors for Palestinians to Cross to safe Refuge. Provide Civilians to get to Safety
Professor Bartov is clearly not only a very intelligent person but also a fair individual who loves humanity. His words are music to my ears. He should be Israel's Prime Minister or president. He has my respect and admiration. 🕊️🌎🕊️🙏🕊️❤️🕊️

Thanks for speaking out
Canada stands with Palestine. ❤

Only people with moral in Canada stand with Israel, not people who support Hamas terrorists
NOT THE MAJORITY OF CANADA!

So does Ireland. A 100 % of Ireland.
The only possible solution is one that ends the oppression of one people by another and guarantees absolutely equal rights and security for both people, but it must begin with a ceasefire and getting them to sit across a table and establish peace.
thank you so much for your work in this horrible hypocrite world
Thanks Omer for your honesty and big heart
SHAME Israel… 😢
Most of us can imagine what it like there. But some people are confused too. Looking at the people fleeing to the other side they noticed they looked clean and well dressed. They don't understand those people were living.a normal life before Oct 7th. They had beautiful sceneries and they could go to the Mediterranean sea. People could go into Gaza only those people could only leave for emergencies. But they were locked in. Some were doing better than others but they still couldn't leave the strip.
The Chosen People
What a crock
We are all citizens of the world and we want, in the name of humanity, for Netanyahu to answer for his crimes before the international criminal court and to be sentenced with his defense minister!
Yes we want that but it can take years to get him in The Netherlands and it will probably never happen.
The criminal court is in Den Hague, The Netherlands and USA and Israel don't recognize that court. They never signed a recognition of the criminal Court in Den Hague.

The Jewish world contributed 213 Nobel Prizes to the world. 5 from Israel.
From Einstein to Bob Dylan.
And a democratic Jewish state for the Arabs of Israel as well.
What have the 50 countries of the Muslim world contributed to your world?
Terrorist organizations that murdered and massacred millions of Muslims. In Iraq, Syria, Africa, Afghanistan and Yemen.On October 7 they murdered and massacred 1400 babies, children, old people and 250 boys and girls celebrating music.And 240 citizens from many countries were kidnapped to the hell of Gaza
The anti-Semitic jealousy eats THE soul.
While in Israel the Lion of ZION ROAR
Most Israelis don't like it that civilians are killed. This is not the point of the operation and the war. The war is against Hamas, and the way Israel is fighting is the ONLY possible way. There is no other way. None. As horrible as it is, it's the only option.
It was designed to be a horrible war on the expense of the civilians by Hamas. Every single move they make is on the expense of the Gazans. Some support Hamas ideologically, and many are victims.
Hamas is one of the most totalitarian regimes in the world and almost any other regime that might replace it will be better for the palestinians. But for Hamas to be removed, this war needs to move forward without any ceasefire.
Hurt people hurt people.
This phrase is quite fitting.
Not all people who are hurt take it out on others.
Stop the genocide in Gaza
who will and how?
Great video. One comment: Mr. Bartov said that as yet there is no intention to destroy the Palestinian population in Gaza. However, blocking them from getting almost any food and water AND preventing them from leaving the area affected by dehydration and malnutrition IS destroying the population, regardless of official intent. It starts to remind me of the ghettos of WW2, separating them from the general population and locking them in with the malnutrition.
Agreed
@cindy my thoughts exactly. How in the hell NOT yet ?
Oh, the Palestinians can leave the country. Who going to take them?
The Palestinians are getting food and water. They're just not getting them from Israel (wonder why).

Thank you Amy, and Juan for the great work.
If we can send an aircraft carrier to the region, we can send a floating hospital, with doctors, to help with the humanitarian Healthcare crisis thats happening. This would prevent more loss of life and give the US a little bit of moral high ground in this situation.
France has send one , after do much of screaming by the public.
The US taking the moral high ground is laughable.
Or the US could stop supplying Israel with the weapons being used to carry out the murder.
Hospital ships won't make Raytheon or Lockheed Martin any money.
People are in shock that Biden and his administration would stoop this low but it's really laughable because both parties in this country answer to the same masters and those masters want all out war in that region for various reasons, none that serve the human good.
Yes, we can do all those tings... But, we cannot stop the homocide on people Of Palestina, in Gaza, West Bank, commited by Israel for years, becouse the world, has allowed it since 1948!!! Even UN!!! 🤣
The US is precisely where it has been for 75 years.
While I've given up on trying to distinguish between the words coming out of Blinken's mouth and the rubbery spine that contributes to his painful posture.
