A slight correction is in order. At 6:25 The title says "Gaza city population 2.3 million". The city of Gaza had a population of 590 thousand people before the war. The entire Gaza strip has a population of 2.3million. The Gaza strip is an area containing 8 cities: Gaza, Khan Yunis, Jabalia, Rafah, Beit Lahiya, Deir al Balah, Beit Hanoun and Bani Suheila. Roughly half the area of the Gaza strip is agricultural farmland.
@@RosscoAW Completely wrong, he's making it sound like it's even denser. "Roughly half of the area is farmland" while the other half is made up of 8 cities, all of which are respectably large by themselves. This goes to show you even though Gaza is small, where the people actually live is even smaller.
@RosscoAW "One of the most densely populated places on Earth" is one of the stranger titles that are too often bestowed on the Gaza strip without actually thinking what it actually means, as it's not clear what constitutes a place to compare with. The Gaza strip has about 6300 people per square km. *(edited from 5500) If you draw a 1 square meter around yourself, the 'place' you have just imagined has a density of 1,000,000 people per square km. (2m if you happen to be holding a baby at the time) Kowloon Walled City was famously super dense at 1,890,000/km^2 I guess it comes out of comparing the Gaza strip to countries. The Netherlands has about 440 people per square km. If you compare it to a city: Paris and Cairo each have about 20,000 people per square km. The city of Gaza had about 13,000. Baghdad is incredibly dense at 43,000 people per square km. Manhatten's at 72,918.
This is very good, but I can tell that this script is over a month old. A lot has changed. Unfortunately, your ending about Israel doesn't have an endgame for Gazs is still relevant.
I think it's funny anyone claiming the tunnel system is working to hamas advantage is an idiot. This isn't Vietnam. Vietnam was huge. Meanwhile idf has eyes in sky on almost all of gaza and on average it takes 6 minutes from the time hamas are spotted until some type of bombs come dropping on them. The idf, fighting these tunnels, has lost 116 personnel since ground operations have started. That is nothing as for the butt kicking hamas has taken. Why didn't you mention the mass surrenders by hamas? The loss of half of gaza and having eliminated the command and control of hamas. Why didn't you mention hamas political wing is breaking from its military wing by saying they will recognize isreal to end the war? You can't live I a tunnel forever. That clock gets faster as idf takes the land above the tunnels and eliminates the equipment needed to stay I the tunnels. My guess is hamas higher-ups go hitler and commit suicide
It is the duty of the non-Muslim world to assist all Muslims who are impatient to reach paradiise to get there as soon as possible. The jihadis of Hamas, Hizbullah, ISIS and extreme Islam must be helped on their way without weak Christian morality turning the other cheek.
Where do ppl get this notion that the World is all of a sudden going to a dark place? Ah yes, social media, politicians and mass media repeatedly telling them it is. It's almost as if it's in their interests to keep us in a state of fear and anxiety.
"We are not fighting people but ideologies. You can't kill an ideology. You can only make it irrelevant. " - Soldier Veteran of the Marawi Siege, Philippines.
Approximately 30% of the Philippine landmass has a deep historical connection with the indigenous Moro people, also known as the Bangsamoro people. These individuals, however, find themselves as victims of a disturbing past, having been forcibly and unlawfully integrated into the present-day political structure. This appalling state of affairs can be traced back to the abhorrent Spanish colonization, marked by criminal acts, and the subsequent era of American colonialism. Under the guise of supposedly granting independence, the American colonization era cunningly perpetuated the existing circumstances, denying the rightful owners their land and preventing them from attaining an independent homeland. This situation stands in stark contrast to the case of East Timor, where a distinct and self-governing nation was allowed to thrive. The heart-wrenching truth is that the Moro people, who are inherently tied to this significant portion of Philippine land, have been stripped of their rights throughout history. Their struggles and illegal annexation demand attention and call into question the integrity of the political forces at play. As the spotlight shines on this unresolved predicament, it is crucial that the international community and key stakeholders take notice, acknowledging the justified claims of the Moro people. A just resolution, one that returns the land to its original owners and grants them the autonomy they rightfully deserve, is imperative for true justice to prevail.
@galacticknight5718 wall text but ok. Certainly, the Isis extremism is the representative of all Moros rather than just an outside force capitalising on regional squabbles.

"Ideas are impervious to physical force" Today's conventional wisdom is so out of touch with reality that it's frightening how everybody accepts it without even an after thought.
@@daveyhansen Well played, but it's not a consolation. By the the comments here the percentages of skeptics is less than the percentage of flat earthers. Had a video trying to explain astronomy, mentioned in passing, that the earth is flat, I would have expected more salt in the discussion calling the entire video to question. Yet...
You don't need to kill an idea (which is extremely difficult), but you can destroy an organization almost completely, you can destroy its power, arsenal and regime. That's how ISIS was defeated in Syria and Iraq, despite the group is technically still around.
@@ferdinanddaratenas3447 every war, without exception, that ended with a one sided victory marked the death of at least one idea (WW2, American civil war, ISIS... you name it) That's why I made the original comment, frustrated that all other commentators accept the conventional "wisdom" without a pause.
@@anchormax3597 You can kill an idea by giving it no attention. Not repressing it, not avoiding it, not attacking it. Just by letting it be and not feeding it.
Not to mention Al-Qaeda whose ability to commit acts of terror was reduced to near nothing. Or ISIS who went from controlling large swaths of territory in Syria and Iraq to mere tiny pockets. Ideas most definitely can be eradicated by force.
In this case the idea is zionism. Palestinians have no ideas, they just try to survive the oppression that's all. If you are displaced and then oppressed for generations by outside military force, what would you do?
Germany still has a far right party of neo nazis in AFD, and they just won more elections than they have before. Japan still has a large ultranationalist presence who still deny genocide.
The Nazis and Imperial Japan were defeated militarily yes, but what really killed their ideologies was the unprecedented foreign aid provided to them by the US after the war to rebuild. If the US hadn't given that aid, its just as likely that these ideologies would have remained or morphed into something even more destructive, just as German imperialism did after WWI. Similarly, the only way that Israel can prevent Hamas's ideology from continuing is by providing an alternative, i.e. stop blockading Gaza, stop slowly annexing the West Bank, end apartheid laws, and allow the Palestinians to build their own state. When given the option between a prosperous peace or destructive ideology, people will choose peace 100% of the time, the issue is that Israel does not give Palestinians that option.
@@TheObiareusby international law all the former mandate of British Palestine belongs legally to Israel we gave up claim over Gaza in 2005 & no we never gonna give up Judea it’s our homeland & these Arab colonizer are occupying it and wanna create Islamic fascist state educate yourself.
You can't. Especially by increasing support for that idea on the ground while not doing anything to touch its leadership, which is in an entirely different country. This is all a very pretty presentation but support for Hamas increases every day Isreal attacks, and with every civilian killed. The numbers dont lie.
Netanyahu is on record saying that Hamas is necessary to everything the two state solution never succeeds. Furthermore, Israel seems to be flattening the city before sending their ground force in.

The ground news segues are getting more and more annoying. Several other channels I visit are doing them also,, but usually at the end or as chapters at least. It's less a criticism of the channel, and more a hint to the Ground News markerters that they are getting to be obnoxious. I try to take the things being said seriously, so when a sponsor isn't clearly defined and marked from the start, I feel betrayed. Ground News doesn't need to resort to such petty tactics; they have a product that can sell itself without segues.
I always respect a content creator having to make $ when they put in sponsor adds, and with that said I think you're constructive critique is really fair and well formulated =) Good to read a respectful comment that isn't shy to share a concern. It's a hard thing for many to do in 2023, myself included at times hehe =)
Ground News is just propaganda seeing as the left/right false dichotomy doesn't represent actual informed voters. All voters who would actually think for themselves and not seek media arbitration on the matter are unrepresented by the left and right. Not even Independent party candidates are beyond the vetting system that keeps out people with interests for individual citizens from getting in to politics. I don't expect anybody still using these news outlets like this one to understand that though.
I'm not sure what has happened recently with your audio setup, but it's been distorted (clipping or overly compressed?) for a while now. i'm a sound tech so i'm very sensitive to stuff like his. According to YT your content loudness is 7.1dB so it's ABOVE the reference... thus, too loud? This would indicate it being pure clipping. If you've enabled some sort of auto gain or similar by accident, or you've changed your compressor configuration too much, that could be the reason? If there's too much compression, it can cause the same sonic issue as any clipping but without the sound actually going over 0dBFS and thus you can't see any clipping in your meters. Clipping could also happen before the digital domain at the microphone pre-amp or it might be that you're using these new fangled 32bit interfaces and then when you post process it in 24/16bit, that introduced clipping.. Please check that, because it's a bit tiring to listen to :( There are free tools to check your levels like Youlean Loudness meter, that'll tell you your loudness level and if you're clipping etc. very reliably. Your content has always been great, so I'm just giving you some constructive feedback :)
The IDF have already been told by ex Iraq and Afghanistan operatives that they cannot defeat Hamas this way, this only leads to even greater radicalization.
I cannot imagine greater radicalization than the one that already exists in Gaza, this is not comparable to USA and Iraq/Afghanistan. Children in Gaza are being taught and trained in schools that Allah wants the death of all jews, and the greatness of being a martyr, for the past 20 years. It cannot get worse than it is..
@@AdastraRecordingsSpeaking from a humanity standpoint they obviously should but whether they stick to it or not makes no difference in terms of their ability to defeat Hamas.
@@alonzy989cause: A. There are still hostages in the tunnels B. Flooding the tunnels can cause severe damage to the soil in the area making impossible to build and sustain inferstructure C.the waters can leak into aquifer in the Israeli territory thus damaging their agriculture Hope it was enough
@@The_Jewish_Crusader_King Egypt has been doing it for years. The tunnels from rafah into the Sinai peninsula are found and flooded. And it’s now a fact that Israel started flooding the tunnels.
What came first? The chicken or the egg? The gazans used to live in much better conditions before hamas rose to power and started targeting israeli civilians
@@ykaflaloif you consider still being occupied a better situation, you may be correct. Hamas was put there to give Israel an excuse to go in and killed or scare away as many Palestinians as possible until they're done stealing every inch of the territory.
@@ykaflalo for ethics it does not matter who began it at this point. Matters if the current guys are doing anything to improve things or just half assing it as they have so far. One couldn’t integrate and give rights to Palestinians or secure their own safety, and the other one couldn’t make Palestine into an actual independent government or secure their own safety, and both couldn’t prevent the current war or turmoil. And the bigger problem is that even if the war ended in a genocide or a peaceful reunification, there’s still tons of issues in national politics that aren’t going to go away just if the war stops.
My great uncle was a tunnel rat in the Vietnam war. He crawled in with a flashlight and a pistol and never once was captured. He said that he and the other men crawling in kept others safe and the tunnels were annoying but not really a hindrance.
Identifying civilians is problematic? Gee i wonder how difficult it is to identify hospitals, mosques, churches, pediatric units, school, refugee camps, journalism offices and NGOs.
It is EXTREMELY difficult when they are being used as command centers, military bases, and armories. You have Hamas terrorists in civilian clothes embedding themselves in the civilian population, executing attacks, and then returning to shelters and refugee camps. How on earth can you differentiate these in real-time?
@@RonFilm Before making statements justifying the killing of civilians in UN schools, hospitals, churches etc .. you need to come up with solid evidence and let UN investigation do their job! Until then, what the IOF is doing are was crimes!
Funny how being one of the poorest areas in the world they have more hospitals, 42 which is 18.26 per million people. More than most of the countries in the OECD developed countries. Gaza would be placed in the middle. They keep having more and more hospitals but the health is not getting better. Maybe they use those hospitals for something else. Very strange
With the rise of drone technologies i believe tunnels will become huge in regards to war tactics. The technology needed to deal with such tasks are being developed rapidly.
Mostly for defense, attack tunnels can only be reliably used to cross close borders and are expensive. You also need the right soil or depth to build the tunnels. Also the tunnels are more reliable in urban warfare where the enemy isn't inclined to detroy all of it.
Israeli soldiers are excellent fighters, but for the vulnerable. .. they are fighting an incredible battle with children, women and the elderly congratulations. 👏👏👏👏👏
No. The israeli army does well at open country mobile warfare. It has never performed well in other environment. On the whole, its soldiers on average are not particularly skilled. They rely on superior technology, weapons, numbers and volume of ordnance. Their soldiers really aren't that good for the most part
What I know is around 70% of Gaza population were evacuated from their homes between 1948 and 1967 , instead of trying to push them out to Egypt, why they don’t let them go back home (Israel) as international law said R 242 , and those civilians will be more safe than being human shields in another country
I’m sorry, but I have to disagree on the “ideology” point. Hamas is first and foremost a product of decades of brutal colonial occupation on southern Palestine. Though times make men bitter and their methods harsh. But still, they embody a *necessity* of the Arab people who live in the Strip: that of not being enslaved and humiliated. That, in my opinion, is their primary political goal and the aim of oct7. To break the siege of Gaza. Any solution on Palestine proper would come later and be mediated, far removed from the “cleansing Palestine from the Jews” ideology you attribute to them.
Israel left Gaza. Hamas are Islamic terrorists. There is no "Palestine." They are violent Arab Muslim refugees which Arab Muslim nations have thrown out thru war. Do some research before regurgitating lies.
Excellent reporting and storytelling. One critique: the gain on your mic seems to be creeping up (or the compression/limiter is over cooking) causing your voice to be a bit distorted. This makes it a little hard to listen to, at least for me.
I didn't really notice until I read this comment. Now that it's pointed out I can't help but be aware of the crackling on the voice. Music comes through fine.
The problem with Gaza is that no one is actually looking out for them they're just like free Palestine and C-Spire as an attack on Israel but if you actually wanted these people to have like economic opportunity you would want them in the country with more economic opportunity right now they're the enemy of the country is looking after them
Peace would mean negotiating 2 states, something the more powerful Israelis don't want. Israel wants to ethnically cleanse gaza and the west bank for a 1 state solution where the native Muslims and Christians are gone. I'm sure Palestinians deep down realize how futile getting their land back is, but they publicly talk about 1 state where the immigrant jews are gone. Left wing Israelis might be more willing for a peace deal, peace would choke out Hamas as well
it's ironic that Caspian report is sponsored by ground news, and speaks highly of them yet has a very obnoxious and clear agenda. echoing the 'human shield' rhetoric of the genocide apologists.
@@FirstnameLastname-pt5ss I guess you don't realize how vast that tunnel system is. When Egypt tried flooding the tunnels, it only destroyed a small portion by the Sinai. It didn't prevent Hamas at all from continuing their smuggling operation. What Egypt did at that time was to say "Hey, look what we're doing Israel, we don't support Hamas." All it really did was destroy the agriculture in that area.
@@firstbinguser Aside from the fact we're talking about a complex tunnel system that spans an area the size of Las Vegas and has been around for decades. Do you really think all those tunnels are interconnected and that they wouldn't take preventative measures constructing these tunnels for flooding being that they're underground. Now, with that in mind, please explain how much time and fuel it will take to pump in enough seawater to flood these tunnels? Nevermind. All this is just Israel grasping at straws. Smoking mirrors for the gullible Western public because they got caught with their pants down Oct 7th.
@@Niv_nav the pulled out for like 3rd time within two decades. They can keep carpet bombing Gaza but but nothing they do is killing the Palestinian spirit. Kinda similar to how the USA lost in Vietnam when they were carpet bombing the hell out of South Asia due to the Vietnamese guerrilla warfare. Israel is trying to wipe out Palestinians off their land and they know they’re running out of resources quick. The situation is a lot different this time around since everyone is focused on what’s going on. Years prior everyone was being fed Zionist propaganda now they can see for themselves via social media. Israel lost the war when they lied about their intentions, it was always genocide. They were aware of the October 7th attack more than a year in advanced. Killed their own citizens and continue bomb Gaza killing their own civilians.
@@Niv_nav they have been in gaza for three months and hamas is still intact, sending rockets towards israel and are still have intense clashes in gaza.
I saw a reply from a Hamas leader. this is me paraprahsing. "We have prepared for all types of scenarious with our tunnels, be it pumping of water and or other method of targeting our tunnels." Plus even thinking about it they had so many years to prepare I am sure someone thought of this
@@servant74 Idk if you saw but on telegram there was a video of a tunnel getting filled with water. It likely had its initial success in flooding parts of it. But I would think that Hamas would then coordinate the other tunnels to prepare for such measures. So likely small- medium success (in my opinion) And you're welcome!
@@Ali-fx6jd if they will have energy for puming out water all the time then ok. Israelis has the advantage of getting access to the infrastructure with bigger capacity in terms of electric enegry, fuel etc. Flooding the tunnels is not THAT stupid of idea as long as Hamas won't be able to sustain water pumping out machines.
I think isriel should join the state of new york and only do military operation under the federal gidlines or the offer will go to Gaza and they will end up fighting the US milatary. Sure the federal government may disprove, but the states do not need there permition to includ new lands of other nations, it just cant be negoseated by the state proper, must be a non government entity that optains the land for them
You made it sound like Iran was the sole financier of the tunnels, however I am aware that international aid money was also used by Hamas to construct the underground infrastructure. I think it would be even more 'In-integrity' as a journalist to note that so much of the money originally earmarked for civilian infrastructure [quality of life for Palestinians] was instead channeled into the subterranean defense network.
While there is no evidence for what you say, there are evidence that Qatar has financed Hamas with Israeli help (as admitted by Netenyaho). And that was not money for civilians, but money assigned to the military org Hamas
Temporarily. The physical force has to end at some point, then the ideology will begin to rise again. Sustaining physical force indefinitely is not feasible, just look at how the US was unable to defeat the Taliban.

Very good. It would be nice to talk about the impact of new technologies on tunnel warfare, particularly the remotely controlled drone vehicles that might be used to explore the tunnels, detecting fighters, ambushes and hostages within the tunnels, as well as ambushes that emerge out of the tunnels.
Why do you assume they would be operated from above ground? The type of drones were talking about are operated by personnel physically present where the drones are - in other words, the operators will be below ground with the drones...@@quochuyhoang9764
Although Israel's plan seems solid there are many factors affecting it, First, International pressure to stop the war. Second, Hezbollah involvement. A country like Iran is not going to watch their proxies get destroyed like this.
for that reason, Hezbollah cannot interfere as it was mentioned in the video both Hamas and Hezbollah really on gorilla warfare which only works in an area that is known to the organization
Iran's supreme leader has pretty much told Haniyeh he is on his own and Nasrallah - has said in his first speech that this is 100% a Palestinian issue. Iran won't risk its nuclear program for Hamas and Nasrallah won't risk having Hezbollah and Lebanon flattened like Gaza. So sure - Hezbollah is engaging the IDF on a daily basis but very low key and is suffering heavy losses, whereas Iran is mostly making threats one day and then denying any involvement the next. The Houthi's are getting too adventurous but there will come a point where they will be dealt with - probably a mix of US and allied forces in the red sea, some Israeli retaliation and opposition within Yemen - aided by Western arms and support.
America is virulently pro-Israel, even most liberals. If Iran and Hezbollah attacked the neocons will attack Iran and Lebanon. Which is why they wont attack Israel.
Israel would kill us all if it could. So many members of my family including women and children have been killed by Israel because they want a Jewish state and us Christians don't belong
Pls report how many civilian killed in gaza and how many schools، mousque and cherches , hospital destroyed Also the starvation strategy And cutting electricity and water for palstainan and the the daily killing and violations by settller at West bank
@@jayeshiyer2347 it's beyond relevant, this isn't a video game! I'm deeply offended by your attitude. Civilian deaths sway political opinions and public support. Beyond that, humanitarian law must be respected for both ethical and strategic reasons. Otherwise we'll see this blow up. This isn't a game of risk.
I disagree with your assessment that the IDFs methods will determine world opinion for years to come. The truth is that people already chose sides in this conflict on Oct 8th..... long before military operations began.
7:51 @CaspianReport you made a conflicting mistake. Either intentionally or otherwise.You said Hamas uses civillian house as human shield. The sentence is very misleading if you actually intented to say tgeyoperate out of it. Human shielding is a complete diffrent concept by definition. All in all intresting piece of work.
It’s hard to tell the civilian kill rate, when Hamas fighters dress as civilians. And Hamas does not differentiate between civilians and fighters when releasing casualty numbers.
Oh true , that’s why 42% of the kill rate are children , who knows they might be soldiers as well . oh and how about the 98 dead journalists they were for sure undercover Hamas soldiers . Wait lemme guess those 3 Israeli hostages were undercover Hamas soldiers as well . Israel is a joke and you guys justifying that right extreme government r such ignorants it’s actually sad
@@yassirhallami6737 Hamas is currently use children as a solders. A few days ago in Jenin 2 underage militants accidentally blew themselves wile carrying an improvised explosive device
...from pushing the Israelites into the sea to flooding Hamas in their tunnels with sea water... the more things change, the more they stay the same really...
"Ideas are impervious to bullets and bombs" - I suppose Nazism hasn't completely been eradicated, but it was defeated using bullets and bombs, and no longer poses a real threat to world peace. This can also be done to Hamas ideology. If it survives as a fringe group somewhere in some Arab country is not really important, as long as it cannot seriously threaten anyone.
It's the fact they think they are gods chosen people and can do whatever they want with impunity.... seems odd to me that when you think God is on your side it makes you think you are allowed to do horrendous shit. Such a strange way of thinking
@@bengalloway6812that’s funny because Muslims also think they are gods chosen people. Except you are allowed to leave Judaism without being killed, and Jewish women can show their face and walk outside without a man’s supervision… people say “free Palestine”, I agree, it needs to be freed from Islam.
You've got it backwards. Hamas was not born out of violence or indignities against Palestinians, nor is it a backlash to there not being a path to political resolution through compromise. Hamas is the violent backlash explicitly organized around opposition to compromise and peace and a two state solution. Hamas wants a one state solution and is actively pursuing genocide to get it. They're willing to sacrifice their own population in a futile fight because they think it's what allah wants them to do. You're right, you can't destroy any idea, not even a bad one. You can only destroy the people who won't to stop acting as if it's a good one worth pursuing. That's the definition of war "politics by other means". An ideology immune to compromise will always cause violence. And if that ideology includes the explicit denial of my right to exist, let alone live in peace, then I guess we're going to fight until you decide to give up that evil idea, or are destroyed.
For info about conditions in Israel-Palestine before October I recommend people read the Human Rights Watch report "A Threshold Crossed: Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution". You can't understand anything without context.
Israel is not American in Vietnam, Israel have Vietnamese will and determination to fight to the very bitter ends . Americans were not in Vietnam to stay , israel is here to stay ......
Coming from an Israeli commander in Gaza. That’s the most accurate video I have seen regarding to this war. Don’t know where you got all this information from but it’s right on point.
And they would even have the technology to be precise they just don't want to be that. + IDF doesn't fight on the ground not because of the tunnels but just because their army is not enough competent to do so, despite the billions of $ US has invested
They have a boarder with Egypt, which Israel doesn’t control, and a coast line. Plus what they produce and have stored. Why does Israel need to supply food and fuel to a region that attacked them? Hamas could release all the hostages they took and surrender. Egypt could have not closed the border.
Just one note on gazza being one of the densest places on the planet... It's simply not true, it is not even in the top 100 in density. Gazza city itself might be in the 90th place or so. Alot of cities in Israel are denser, not to mention europe or asia.
True. The Gaza Strip, at about 15,000 people per square mile, is as dense as London and Tel Aviv. Many countries have a far greater population density.
You are missing the point , you are just comparing two cities , the problem is that in order to have a sustainable state a state must have a place to build homes and for other purposes as well like agriculture , industry etc. The problem here is that there is no space in gaza for anything its a concrete jungle. London is dense but its not dense as a whole country. London can not sustain as an isolated entity. Look at it from this angle as well
London has a whole country to grow crops , build factories , sports stadiums , airports sea ports , universities school and everything else , where can people of gaza do all this? The whole comparison is wrong.
@@realpolitics527 lol, im juat talking about since 1940's when Muslims killed over 300k+ Hindus just in Kashmir amd took over. You know the Quran tells them to kill, conquer, and convert. Since people like you don't know history or facts. You're welcome
the tunnels are not level and it is unknown where the hostages are. once the tunnels are drained and refitted against a repeat the cycle will go again. flooding may be effective in the short term but it strikes me as a scooby-doo plan that looks good in print but may run into problems in practice. i am happy to be wrong on this, that is just my observation as someone with an engineering background
This will permanently salt the ground. No crops can grow in this soil for hundreds of years. literally salting the earth. Beside, the US force in Vietnam did tried this before. Tunnel that is well designed can survive this.
You dont understand the roots and reasons for Hamaz and for the fighting unless you study the past events, and inform about that. Being a ruthless occupier as Israel is and has been. To protect itself, that Hamaz is there bco. the occupation. Palestinians are pushed together in a small place also bco settelers and occupation. They have to live like this, inside the prison walls! So to use the term "HUMAN SHIELDS" is using Israeli arguments for bombing civilians in Gaza. Now close to 25.000 are kilked. There is a difference between actions of resistance and of occupation. Israel should cansel the Zionist dream to make all of Paiestine jewish, and force palestinians out. End the occupation and cansel the zionist project. Let palestinians return to their home in one state with equal rights.
Israel can't win. I live in Australia and I know people in Canada and the USA. We live in a settler colony that will continue because we committed such a complete genocide. Indigenous people make up around 3% of our current population in Australia. That should be a source of public shame for Australia, the USA and Canada, but it also allows people to be magnanimous about the indigenous population and continue on because they are not a genuine threat. However, you can see that despite African and South Asian nations having long-term poverty and corruption problems to work through (with differing levels of success) resulting from European colonialism, they have been able to end the colonies and it is just a matter of time before they are empowered and successful nations. They have self-determination and over the next few centuries geopolitical power shifts we see them have a period of power. Palestine is more like Africa. If you count Palestinians living in all areas of Palestine/Israel and surrounding nations as refugees, there are more of them than Israelis. Despite the ethnic cleansing and genocide that Israel is committing, they can't raise the intensity that would overcome the high birthrate that you would expect from impoverished people. Therefore, despite the atrocities that Israel has been committing since its inception it can not win. The global south, as victims of colonisation and ethnic cleansing, has been able to see what Israel is. The center-left and left of all nations outside of the US have seen Israel for what it is for a generation now. However, it is completely reliant on politics in the USA. Israel can not exist without the US gifting Israel 1% of its GDP per year. Any polling of people under the age of 40 makes it clear that that support will dry up in a generation. That means no money and no encouragement for Arab nations to play nice with them. If Israel does not allow for Palestinian self-determination, or a single secular state with all Palestinians having the right of return, there will be sanctions as well. Sanctions against enemies can be devastating but are not often successful. However, sanctions against allies who are economically intertwined with those putting the sanctions are game-changing. Especially if it is a nation that has very little natural resources like Israel. If Israelis had any foresight they would be planning for this. Despite being formed as a European settler colony, it is now true that the majority of Jews in Israel descend from populations from the Middle East. Zionism has destroyed as many Jewish communities as it has Palestinian communities. This means that one secular nation is the best solution. It will bring sustainable peace for the Jews there and overcome the fact that Israeli aggression has decapitated Palestinian leadership and left the vacuum that has allowed groups like Hamas to flourish. The singular state will need to provide justice for Palestinians, it can't be an empty gesture. This means the return of refugees and the return of property that was stolen as people were cleansed, starting in 1947-48.
The birth rate for Palestine in 2022 was 27.633 births per 1000 people, a 1.6% decline from 2021. The birth rate for Palestine in 2021 was 28.081 births per 1000 people, a 1.57% decline from 2020. Arabs also dont Help them so they will Not exist anymore ! Israel will Take palestine and then No palestinian Here ! Israel is a very powerful Nation they never loose a war 😅!

As an observer, with no particular connection with Israel or Hamas, I would simply point out the obvious. As bad as things are, things can always get worse. To better understand their position, I recently read the Hamas Covenant of 1988. It is essentially their mission statement. No spin. To sum up their position, it is essentially no compromise. Fight and never give up. The kind of attitude that keeps you at war for 35 years. For the past 35 years, the devotion to fighting probably caused the people to miss out on other opportunities. Maybe Hamas will win someday. Maybe it will lose. However, fighting without compromise does not always turn out well when fighting a larger force. Consider the zeal expressed by Japan (WWII) and Paraguay in the war of the triple alliance. The problem with "Never Surrender" is that this approach literally compels the other side to take extreme measures to end the war. The U.S. dropped 2 nuclear bombs on Japan. In the war of the triple alliance, 90 % of Paraguay's males were killed. In those cases, was to the battle cry of never surrender really worth it? Or did the ego of their leaders needlessly cause the people to suffer?
I like pretty much all of your videos but to say Israel has focused on precision when it basically spent months dropping shit tons of bombs on a tiny strip of land seems very very off
Your voice in the audio seems to be a bit 'scratchy'. I think it might be time for a new mic? Sounds raggedy. It used to be a lot smoother/high quality!
so many people saying they should just flood the tunnels, i guess anything is possible when you don't care about the collateral damage. but again, they already flattened the place to the ground, didn't they?
@@ashishhembrom3905 are you for real? It's already difficult enough to have 2 million people above ground let alone underground 🤦 maybe you just want them all underground in their graves already
The fact that it's hard for the IDF to distinguish between civilians and combatants would only be relevant if Israel was trying to minimise civilian casualties (which it's not)
According to the Hamas ‘Health Authority’, there have been zero terrorists killed so far in this war … 😏 In the Hamas propaganda, they claim 16,000 civilians killed, but not a single terrorist or ‘militant’. It seems that Hamas is invulnerable, while the civilians suffer the most from the war. How convenient! 16,000 civilians have been killed, but 0 Hamas terrorists have been killed? Really? Israel can’t seem to kill even ONE terrorist? Hamas must be invincible! Hamas terrorists are cowards who hide behind civilians and dress like them. They have their own uniforms, but they only wear them in their rallies. When they face the Israeli army, they switch to jeans, t-shirts and sneakers. Why? Because they know that Israel respects human life and tries to avoid harming innocent people. They abuse this by mingling with the civilians, shooting from behind cover, and then running away. And when they are killed in combat, the Hamas-controlled ‘Ministry of Health’ can label them as martyrs and inflate the civilian death toll. But the truth is that Hamas is responsible for all the Gazan civilians killed in this war, because they use their area to launch deadly attacks on innocent people in Israel. If a man hides behind a nursery, and fires a rocket at a nursery with your children inside, killing them, you do NOT let him go. You do NOT let the killer walk free, because he hides behind the innocent. You do NOT let the killer go free, to kill again, and again, and again. No, you stop him, and harm as few others as possible. But sometimes, it’s not possible to stop the killer who is hiding under a hospital or under a town of people, without also harming the innocent. But this does NOT mean that we let the killers go free, because they hide under a baby carriage. Article 19 of the Geneva Convention: "The protection to which civilian hospitals are entitled shall not cease unless they are used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts harmful to the enemy. Protection may, however, cease only after due warning has been given, naming, in all appropriate cases, a reasonable time limit, and after such warning has remained unheeded."
What you get wrong is that, the use of civilian infrastructure after a city is emptied is NOT using human shields. Plus, the report is a bit irrelevant as Israel did not really invade by land except after flattening every area it went it, there is rarely true close combat happening.
@@Sawmatturaimagine what the US could have done with the hundreds of billions in Ukraine, trillions in Iraq and multitrillions in Afghanistan.

Allow your enemy to achieve for you not just the purpose of you defeating them but the virtue of doing so being the virtue of inspiring the inspiration of ones values towards the commitment of your journey to victory.🤯
Israel tried the "diplomatic way" for too many years with the Gaza strip. If it's long term permission to deliver millions of dollars from Qatar to Hamas monthly, work permits to work in Israel for hundreds of thousands of workers from Gaza, medical services in Israel for a limited amount for Gaza residents and the supply of elementary equipment, electricity and water when Israel doesn't have to. It didn't work and the result was 07/10. So force unfortunately now is the right answer to the situation.
The top is very rich. With lambos and stuff not living in Gaza. They are stealing all the aid money. I think it’s part why there’s constant conflict, because a bunch of people are getting rich off it. Collecting donations to fund the effort. And stealing from humanitarian efforts.

ZIONISM = TERRORISM
ANTI ZIONISM IS NOT ANTI SEMITISM
🇵🇸❤️FREE PALESTINE❤️🇵🇸
A slight correction is in order.
At 6:25 The title says "Gaza city population 2.3 million". The city of Gaza had a population of 590 thousand people before the war. The entire Gaza strip has a population of 2.3million. The Gaza strip is an area containing 8 cities: Gaza, Khan Yunis, Jabalia, Rafah, Beit Lahiya, Deir al Balah, Beit Hanoun and Bani Suheila. Roughly half the area of the Gaza strip is agricultural farmland.
You're making it sound like Gaza isn't one of the most densely populated places on the face of the planet. It is.
@@RosscoAW Completely wrong, he's making it sound like it's even denser. "Roughly half of the area is farmland" while the other half is made up of 8 cities, all of which are respectably large by themselves. This goes to show you even though Gaza is small, where the people actually live is even smaller.
@@RosscoAWwhere is the genocide then?
@RosscoAW "One of the most densely populated places on Earth" is one of the stranger titles that are too often bestowed on the Gaza strip without actually thinking what it actually means, as it's not clear what constitutes a place to compare with.
The Gaza strip has about 6300 people per square km. *(edited from 5500)
If you draw a 1 square meter around yourself, the 'place' you have just imagined has a density of 1,000,000 people per square km. (2m if you happen to be holding a baby at the time)
Kowloon Walled City was famously super dense at 1,890,000/km^2
I guess it comes out of comparing the Gaza strip to countries. The Netherlands has about 440 people per square km.
If you compare it to a city: Paris and Cairo each have about 20,000 people per square km. The city of Gaza had about 13,000. Baghdad is incredibly dense at 43,000 people per square km. Manhatten's at 72,918.
🤔 You make it sound like the IDF would have to intentionally seek out those ~18,000 Palestinians.
This is very good, but I can tell that this script is over a month old. A lot has changed. Unfortunately, your ending about Israel doesn't have an endgame for Gazs is still relevant.
There is no Endgame. Israel stood down while Hamaz attacked. This is all the work of the Illumin*ti Bankers to start WWIII..
Yeah I felt like he repeated a bunch of things from his other videos. We need a December update.
No, that's not true. Israelis said that they will install military rule over Gaza, like it was before 2005. End of story.
I think it's funny anyone claiming the tunnel system is working to hamas advantage is an idiot. This isn't Vietnam. Vietnam was huge. Meanwhile idf has eyes in sky on almost all of gaza and on average it takes 6 minutes from the time hamas are spotted until some type of bombs come dropping on them. The idf, fighting these tunnels, has lost 116 personnel since ground operations have started. That is nothing as for the butt kicking hamas has taken. Why didn't you mention the mass surrenders by hamas? The loss of half of gaza and having eliminated the command and control of hamas. Why didn't you mention hamas political wing is breaking from its military wing by saying they will recognize isreal to end the war? You can't live I a tunnel forever. That clock gets faster as idf takes the land above the tunnels and eliminates the equipment needed to stay I the tunnels.
My guess is hamas higher-ups go hitler and commit suicide
My thoughts exactly.
"The world seems to be heading towards very dark place" - well, yes, but we're kinda used to it after last 5 years.
5000 years
5 years? More like 78 years.
It is the duty of the non-Muslim world to assist all Muslims who are impatient to reach paradiise to get there as soon as possible. The jihadis of Hamas, Hizbullah, ISIS and extreme Islam must be helped on their way without weak Christian morality turning the other cheek.
Try the last 100 years
Where do ppl get this notion that the World is all of a sudden going to a dark place? Ah yes, social media, politicians and mass media repeatedly telling them it is. It's almost as if it's in their interests to keep us in a state of fear and anxiety.

Thats where we're at as a species and tensions just keep going up and up.
@@postpwnmaloneYou’re on a geopolitics channel bro it’s more logical than that.
Approximately 30% of the Philippine landmass has a deep historical connection with the indigenous Moro people, also known as the Bangsamoro people. These individuals, however, find themselves as victims of a disturbing past, having been forcibly and unlawfully integrated into the present-day political structure. This appalling state of affairs can be traced back to the abhorrent Spanish colonization, marked by criminal acts, and the subsequent era of American colonialism. Under the guise of supposedly granting independence, the American colonization era cunningly perpetuated the existing circumstances, denying the rightful owners their land and preventing them from attaining an independent homeland. This situation stands in stark contrast to the case of East Timor, where a distinct and self-governing nation was allowed to thrive. The heart-wrenching truth is that the Moro people, who are inherently tied to this significant portion of Philippine land, have been stripped of their rights throughout history. Their struggles and illegal annexation demand attention and call into question the integrity of the political forces at play. As the spotlight shines on this unresolved predicament, it is crucial that the international community and key stakeholders take notice, acknowledging the justified claims of the Moro people. A just resolution, one that returns the land to its original owners and grants them the autonomy they rightfully deserve, is imperative for true justice to prevail.
@galacticknight5718 wall text but ok. Certainly, the Isis extremism is the representative of all Moros rather than just an outside force capitalising on regional squabbles.

You don't need to kill an idea (which is extremely difficult), but you can destroy an organization almost completely, you can destroy its power, arsenal and regime. That's how ISIS was defeated in Syria and Iraq, despite the group is technically still around.
@@ferdinanddaratenas3447 every war, without exception, that ended with a one sided victory marked the death of at least one idea (WW2, American civil war, ISIS... you name it)

@@anchormax3597 You can kill an idea by giving it no attention. Not repressing it, not avoiding it, not attacking it. Just by letting it be and not feeding it.
Ideas are not impervious to force. Germany and Japan are a testament to that.
Not to mention Al-Qaeda whose ability to commit acts of terror was reduced to near nothing. Or ISIS who went from controlling large swaths of territory in Syria and Iraq to mere tiny pockets. Ideas most definitely can be eradicated by force.
In this case the idea is zionism. Palestinians have no ideas, they just try to survive the oppression that's all.
If you are displaced and then oppressed for generations by outside military force, what would you do?
Germany still has a far right party of neo nazis in AFD, and they just won more elections than they have before. Japan still has a large ultranationalist presence who still deny genocide.
The Nazis and Imperial Japan were defeated militarily yes, but what really killed their ideologies was the unprecedented foreign aid provided to them by the US after the war to rebuild. If the US hadn't given that aid, its just as likely that these ideologies would have remained or morphed into something even more destructive, just as German imperialism did after WWI. Similarly, the only way that Israel can prevent Hamas's ideology from continuing is by providing an alternative, i.e. stop blockading Gaza, stop slowly annexing the West Bank, end apartheid laws, and allow the Palestinians to build their own state. When given the option between a prosperous peace or destructive ideology, people will choose peace 100% of the time, the issue is that Israel does not give Palestinians that option.

The best analysis I have seen on this topic. Saying well done would be an understatement.
The ground news segues are getting more and more annoying. Several other channels I visit are doing them also,, but usually at the end or as chapters at least. It's less a criticism of the channel, and more a hint to the Ground News markerters that they are getting to be obnoxious. I try to take the things being said seriously, so when a sponsor isn't clearly defined and marked from the start, I feel betrayed. Ground News doesn't need to resort to such petty tactics; they have a product that can sell itself without segues.
Absolutely agree with you! I hate how they make it sound like it part of the actual topic of the video. He can do it at the end of the video

Good to read a respectful comment that isn't shy to share a concern. It's a hard thing for many to do in 2023, myself included at times hehe =)
Ground News is just propaganda seeing as the left/right false dichotomy doesn't represent actual informed voters. All voters who would actually think for themselves and not seek media arbitration on the matter are unrepresented by the left and right. Not even Independent party candidates are beyond the vetting system that keeps out people with interests for individual citizens from getting in to politics. I don't expect anybody still using these news outlets like this one to understand that though.

@@JonMartinYXD Thank you. corrected.
I'm not sure what has happened recently with your audio setup, but it's been distorted (clipping or overly compressed?) for a while now.
i'm a sound tech so i'm very sensitive to stuff like his.
According to YT your content loudness is 7.1dB so it's ABOVE the reference... thus, too loud? This would indicate it being pure clipping.
If you've enabled some sort of auto gain or similar by accident, or you've changed your compressor configuration too much, that could be the reason?
If there's too much compression, it can cause the same sonic issue as any clipping but without the sound actually going over 0dBFS and thus you can't see any clipping in your meters.
Clipping could also happen before the digital domain at the microphone pre-amp or it might be that you're using these new fangled 32bit interfaces and then when you post process it in 24/16bit, that introduced clipping..
Please check that, because it's a bit tiring to listen to :(
There are free tools to check your levels like Youlean Loudness meter, that'll tell you your loudness level and if you're clipping etc. very reliably.
Your content has always been great, so I'm just giving you some constructive feedback :)

With the rise of drone technologies i believe tunnels will become huge in regards to war tactics. The technology needed to deal with such tasks are being developed rapidly.
Mostly for defense, attack tunnels can only be reliably used to cross close borders and are expensive.
You also need the right soil or depth to build the tunnels.
Also the tunnels are more reliable in urban warfare where the enemy isn't inclined to detroy all of it.

War is the smoke. The real battle is economical.
Nothing economical about what palestinian are fighting for . They are fighting to gain back their land and homes.
What I know is around 70% of Gaza population were evacuated from their homes between 1948 and 1967 , instead of trying to push them out to Egypt, why they don’t let them go back home (Israel) as international law said R 242 , and those civilians will be more safe than being human shields in another country
because israel dosn't let them in
I’m sorry, but I have to disagree on the “ideology” point.
Hamas is first and foremost a product of decades of brutal colonial occupation on southern Palestine.
Though times make men bitter and their methods harsh. But still, they embody a *necessity* of the Arab people who live in the Strip: that of not being enslaved and humiliated.
That, in my opinion, is their primary political goal and the aim of oct7.
To break the siege of Gaza.
Any solution on Palestine proper would come later and be mediated, far removed from the “cleansing Palestine from the Jews” ideology you attribute to them.
Israel left Gaza. Hamas are Islamic terrorists. There is no "Palestine." They are violent Arab Muslim refugees which Arab Muslim nations have thrown out thru war. Do some research before regurgitating lies.
Well said
Excellent reporting and storytelling. One critique: the gain on your mic seems to be creeping up (or the compression/limiter is over cooking) causing your voice to be a bit distorted. This makes it a little hard to listen to, at least for me.

We heard that many tunnels are being flooded with sea water. Is that causing an issue for Hamas? Or is that a small issue?
I saw a reply from a Hamas leader. this is me paraprahsing. "We have prepared for all types of scenarious with our tunnels, be it pumping of water and or other method of targeting our tunnels." Plus even thinking about it they had so many years to prepare I am sure someone thought of this
@@Ali-fx6jd Agreed, just wondered if it seemed to be successful or to what extent. Thanks for the response!
@@servant74 Idk if you saw but on telegram there was a video of a tunnel getting filled with water. It likely had its initial success in flooding parts of it. But I would think that Hamas would then coordinate the other tunnels to prepare for such measures. So likely small- medium success (in my opinion) And you're welcome!
At worst, it may turn into a sewer down there
@@Ali-fx6jd if they will have energy for puming out water all the time then ok. Israelis has the advantage of getting access to the infrastructure with bigger capacity in terms of electric enegry, fuel etc. Flooding the tunnels is not THAT stupid of idea as long as Hamas won't be able to sustain water pumping out machines.

Great video and channel. I recommend you get a new high quality microphone to match the quality of the video. Audio is distorted
While this particular video is relatively balanced, this channel in general is very biased towards neo-liberal propaganda.
Got no horses in the race but this was unmistakably biased towards Israel
Unbiased, informative and captivating. Subscribed.
You made it sound like Iran was the sole financier of the tunnels, however I am aware that international aid money was also used by Hamas to construct the underground infrastructure. I think it would be even more 'In-integrity' as a journalist to note that so much of the money originally earmarked for civilian infrastructure [quality of life for Palestinians] was instead channeled into the subterranean defense network.
While there is no evidence for what you say, there are evidence that Qatar has financed Hamas with Israeli help (as admitted by Netenyaho). And that was not money for civilians, but money assigned to the military org Hamas
lemme guess. Israel said so?

Very good. It would be nice to talk about the impact of new technologies on tunnel warfare, particularly the remotely controlled drone vehicles that might be used to explore the tunnels, detecting fighters, ambushes and hostages within the tunnels, as well as ambushes that emerge out of the tunnels.
My exact thought, a swarm of even a dozen drones could move in front of soldiers as better scouts than any human could be...
drones do not work in tunnels because the earth would just block the signal
Why do you assume they would be operated from above ground? The type of drones were talking about are operated by personnel physically present where the drones are - in other words, the operators will be below ground with the drones...@@quochuyhoang9764
@@quochuyhoang9764 not every drone needs GPS to navigate and IDF certainly has drones for gps denied environments
Hard to control drones underground. You'd need to set up relay stations underground to strengthen the signal.
Although Israel's plan seems solid there are many factors affecting it,
First, International pressure to stop the war.
Second, Hezbollah involvement.
A country like Iran is not going to watch their proxies get destroyed like this.
for that reason, Hezbollah cannot interfere as it was mentioned in the video both Hamas and Hezbollah really on gorilla warfare which only works in an area that is known to the organization
Iran's supreme leader has pretty much told Haniyeh he is on his own and Nasrallah - has said in his first speech that this is 100% a Palestinian issue. Iran won't risk its nuclear program for Hamas and Nasrallah won't risk having Hezbollah and Lebanon flattened like Gaza. So sure - Hezbollah is engaging the IDF on a daily basis but very low key and is suffering heavy losses, whereas Iran is mostly making threats one day and then denying any involvement the next. The Houthi's are getting too adventurous but there will come a point where they will be dealt with - probably a mix of US and allied forces in the red sea, some Israeli retaliation and opposition within Yemen - aided by Western arms and support.
@shtroizn either way I hope it doesn't get uglier than this.
America is virulently pro-Israel, even most liberals. If Iran and Hezbollah attacked the neocons will attack Iran and Lebanon. Which is why they wont attack Israel.

forgot to mention the kill rate of civilians by israel while trying to erase hamas
It’s hard to tell the civilian kill rate, when Hamas fighters dress as civilians. And Hamas does not differentiate between civilians and fighters when releasing casualty numbers.
Oh true , that’s why 42% of the kill rate are children , who knows they might be soldiers as well . oh and how about the 98 dead journalists they were for sure undercover Hamas soldiers .

"Ideas are impervious to bullets and bombs" - I suppose Nazism hasn't completely been eradicated, but it was defeated using bullets and bombs, and no longer poses a real threat to world peace. This can also be done to Hamas ideology. If it survives as a fringe group somewhere in some Arab country is not really important, as long as it cannot seriously threaten anyone.

High quality and politically balanced report, something that's increasingly rare nowadays
BS Zionist
You've got it backwards. Hamas was not born out of violence or indignities against Palestinians, nor is it a backlash to there not being a path to political resolution through compromise. Hamas is the violent backlash explicitly organized around opposition to compromise and peace and a two state solution. Hamas wants a one state solution and is actively pursuing genocide to get it. They're willing to sacrifice their own population in a futile fight because they think it's what allah wants them to do. You're right, you can't destroy any idea, not even a bad one. You can only destroy the people who won't to stop acting as if it's a good one worth pursuing. That's the definition of war "politics by other means". An ideology immune to compromise will always cause violence. And if that ideology includes the explicit denial of my right to exist, let alone live in peace, then I guess we're going to fight until you decide to give up that evil idea, or are destroyed.
Good job covering it, but please refer to Hamas Terrorists as Terrorists and not Fighters 🙏🏻

Just one note on gazza being one of the densest places on the planet... It's simply not true, it is not even in the top 100 in density. Gazza city itself might be in the 90th place or so. Alot of cities in Israel are denser, not to mention europe or asia.
True. The Gaza Strip, at about 15,000 people per square mile, is as dense as London and Tel Aviv. Many countries have a far greater population density.
You are missing the point , you are just comparing two cities , the problem is that in order to have a sustainable state a state must have a place to build homes and for other purposes as well like agriculture , industry etc.
The problem here is that there is no space in gaza for anything its a concrete jungle.
London is dense but its not dense as a whole country.
London can not sustain as an isolated entity.
Look at it from this angle as well
London has a whole country to grow crops , build factories , sports stadiums , airports sea ports , universities school and everything else , where can people of gaza do all this?
The whole comparison is wrong.

The initiative might support HAMAS due to their tunnel networks, unless Israel floods the tunnels with Sea Water... Too soon?
the tunnels are not level and it is unknown where the hostages are. once the tunnels are drained and refitted against a repeat the cycle will go again. flooding may be effective in the short term but it strikes me as a scooby-doo plan that looks good in print but may run into problems in practice. i am happy to be wrong on this, that is just my observation as someone with an engineering background
tunnels are not interconnected... they are for logistics... not for fighting. much of the fighting is in the streets
So Hamas got a river from the Sea… Too soon?
@@AutoMattOnIsreal cares for the hostages is like saying the US was in Iraq for democracy
This will permanently salt the ground. No crops can grow in this soil for hundreds of years. literally salting the earth. Beside, the US force in Vietnam did tried this before. Tunnel that is well designed can survive this.
You dont understand the roots and reasons for Hamaz and for the fighting unless you study the past events, and inform about that.

They have to live like this, inside the prison walls!
So to use the term "HUMAN SHIELDS" is using Israeli arguments for bombing civilians in Gaza. Now close to 25.000 are kilked.
There is a difference between actions of resistance and of occupation.
Israel should cansel the Zionist dream to make all of Paiestine jewish, and force palestinians out.
End the occupation and cansel the zionist project. Let palestinians return to their home in one state with equal rights.
Israel can't win. I live in Australia and I know people in Canada and the USA. We live in a settler colony that will continue because we committed such a complete genocide. Indigenous people make up around 3% of our current population in Australia. That should be a source of public shame for Australia, the USA and Canada, but it also allows people to be magnanimous about the indigenous population and continue on because they are not a genuine threat.
However, you can see that despite African and South Asian nations having long-term poverty and corruption problems to work through (with differing levels of success) resulting from European colonialism, they have been able to end the colonies and it is just a matter of time before they are empowered and successful nations. They have self-determination and over the next few centuries geopolitical power shifts we see them have a period of power.
Palestine is more like Africa. If you count Palestinians living in all areas of Palestine/Israel and surrounding nations as refugees, there are more of them than Israelis. Despite the ethnic cleansing and genocide that Israel is committing, they can't raise the intensity that would overcome the high birthrate that you would expect from impoverished people. Therefore, despite the atrocities that Israel has been committing since its inception it can not win.
The global south, as victims of colonisation and ethnic cleansing, has been able to see what Israel is. The center-left and left of all nations outside of the US have seen Israel for what it is for a generation now. However, it is completely reliant on politics in the USA. Israel can not exist without the US gifting Israel 1% of its GDP per year.
Any polling of people under the age of 40 makes it clear that that support will dry up in a generation. That means no money and no encouragement for Arab nations to play nice with them. If Israel does not allow for Palestinian self-determination, or a single secular state with all Palestinians having the right of return, there will be sanctions as well. Sanctions against enemies can be devastating but are not often successful. However, sanctions against allies who are economically intertwined with those putting the sanctions are game-changing. Especially if it is a nation that has very little natural resources like Israel.
If Israelis had any foresight they would be planning for this. Despite being formed as a European settler colony, it is now true that the majority of Jews in Israel descend from populations from the Middle East. Zionism has destroyed as many Jewish communities as it has Palestinian communities. This means that one secular nation is the best solution. It will bring sustainable peace for the Jews there and overcome the fact that Israeli aggression has decapitated Palestinian leadership and left the vacuum that has allowed groups like Hamas to flourish.
The singular state will need to provide justice for Palestinians, it can't be an empty gesture. This means the return of refugees and the return of property that was stolen as people were cleansed, starting in 1947-48.
The birth rate for Palestine in 2022 was 27.633 births per 1000 people, a 1.6% decline from 2021. The birth rate for Palestine in 2021 was 28.081 births per 1000 people, a 1.57% decline from 2020.

@@Robespierre-lIIt is a war of existence. The Enemy does not CARE about their people.
As an observer, with no particular connection with Israel or Hamas, I would simply point out the obvious.
As bad as things are, things can always get worse.
To better understand their position, I recently read the Hamas Covenant of 1988. It is essentially their mission statement. No spin. To sum up their position, it is essentially no compromise. Fight and never give up. The kind of attitude that keeps you at war for 35 years.
For the past 35 years, the devotion to fighting probably caused the people to miss out on other opportunities. Maybe Hamas will win someday. Maybe it will lose. However, fighting without compromise does not always turn out well when fighting a larger force.
Consider the zeal expressed by Japan (WWII) and Paraguay in the war of the triple alliance. The problem with "Never Surrender" is that this approach literally compels the other side to take extreme measures to end the war. The U.S. dropped 2 nuclear bombs on Japan. In the war of the triple alliance, 90 % of Paraguay's males were killed. In those cases, was to the battle cry of never surrender really worth it? Or did the ego of their leaders needlessly cause the people to suffer?
Another great report, thank you ❤

The fact that it's hard for the IDF to distinguish between civilians and combatants would only be relevant if Israel was trying to minimise civilian casualties (which it's not)
According to the Hamas ‘Health Authority’, there have been zero terrorists killed so far in this war … 😏
In the Hamas propaganda, they claim 16,000 civilians killed, but not a single terrorist or ‘militant’. It seems that Hamas is invulnerable, while the civilians suffer the most from the war. How convenient!
16,000 civilians have been killed, but 0 Hamas terrorists have been killed? Really? Israel can’t seem to kill even ONE terrorist? Hamas must be invincible!
Hamas terrorists are cowards who hide behind civilians and dress like them. They have their own uniforms, but they only wear them in their rallies. When they face the Israeli army, they switch to jeans, t-shirts and sneakers. Why? Because they know that Israel respects human life and tries to avoid harming innocent people. They abuse this by mingling with the civilians, shooting from behind cover, and then running away. And when they are killed in combat, the Hamas-controlled ‘Ministry of Health’ can label them as martyrs and inflate the civilian death toll.
But the truth is that Hamas is responsible for all the Gazan civilians killed in this war, because they use their area to launch deadly attacks on innocent people in Israel.
If a man hides behind a nursery, and fires a rocket at a nursery with your children inside, killing them, you do NOT let him go. You do NOT let the killer walk free, because he hides behind the innocent. You do NOT let the killer go free, to kill again, and again, and again. No, you stop him, and harm as few others as possible. But sometimes, it’s not possible to stop the killer who is hiding under a hospital or under a town of people, without also harming the innocent.
But this does NOT mean that we let the killers go free, because they hide under a baby carriage.
Article 19 of the Geneva Convention:
"The protection to which civilian hospitals are entitled shall not cease unless they are used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts harmful to the enemy. Protection may, however, cease only after due warning has been given, naming, in all appropriate cases, a reasonable time limit, and after such warning has remained unheeded."

That’s why the allies didn’t invade German occupied territory. They didn’t want to radicalize the Germans more and create more Nazis. Oh wait…
Israel tried the "diplomatic way" for too many years with the Gaza strip. If it's long term permission to deliver millions of dollars from Qatar to Hamas monthly, work permits to work in Israel for hundreds of thousands of workers from Gaza, medical services in Israel for a limited amount for Gaza residents and the supply of elementary equipment, electricity and water when Israel doesn't have to. It didn't work and the result was 07/10. So force unfortunately now is the right answer to the situation.

If by using force you still have problem, that means you are not using enough force.
wow, they invested millions in tunnels. why then are so many of them very poor?
The top is very rich. With lambos and stuff not living in Gaza. They are stealing all the aid money.
