We speak with veteran journalist Peter Maass about the Israeli war on Gaza and his new opinion piece for The Washington Post headlined “I’m Jewish, and I’ve covered wars. I know war crimes when I see them.” Maass, who was a senior editor at The Intercept until earlier this year, has spent decades covering wars, including the Bosnian genocide in the 1990s that killed about 100,000 people over nearly four years. He says many of the same war crimes he reported then are part of Israel’s current assault, including sniper attacks on civilians, bombing of civilian infrastructure, attacks on bread lines and besieging whole populations by preventing food and other aid from entering. “What seems to be unfolding in Gaza is even worse than what I saw in Bosnia,” says Maass.

Killing unarmed civilians from a distance with a rifle under the guise of fighting a war is so cowardly and despicable.
how do you know done that?
So you are referring to the war crimes and cowardly despicable acts of October 7th?

@@PhilipBurton-dn3ce it seemed like you were dismissing Israel's crimes because October 7th like so many people do. Killing civilians on both sides is atrocious. I do not think it'll be another 2000 years but I think it'll be catastrophic for the whole region.
My Polish refugees grandparents are rolling on their graves in disgust to this genocidal state. They believe that EVERY human being should be protected and free and NO ONE should rule over anyone else.
They were right and that is why the majority of holocaust survivors didn’t go to Palestine, they thought it was wrong, Norman Finklestiens parents also felt the same.
@@user-en4db3eq6t In 1949, a Polish Holocaust survivor named Genya Kowalski was offered a Palestinian house in Haifa. She refused, saying: "I don’t want to live [in a house] of people who were thrown out...a human being is a human being.” We can be her heirs today

"They believe that EVERY human being should be protected and free and NO ONE should rule over anyone else." LOL, well both combatants don't see it the way your dead grandparents do. Maybe you should go to gaza (wearing a rainbow shirt) and convince both sides to stop. Surely they will listen to you.
I went through the genocide in Bosnia and when I came to America I found Peter's book "Love Thy Neighbor" about what happened in Bosnia and it is 100% accurate. What is happening in Gaza is 1000% worse than what happened to my people.

Blah Blah Balh...Perhaps hamas shouldn't have started this latest ill-advised war?
Thank you for your voice. Respect
Genocide looks the same it just happens in different countries. And yet as Israel is committing Genocide they continue to play the victim and I find that deplorable.
Israel did NOT GENOCIDE!!!!!!...get it....its hamas stop cover hamas

@@HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings why not; if one Semitic group is ethnically cleansing another Semitic people…
You don't understand what a genocide is, you've just been told(by Hamas) that Israel is commiting one.
The IDF are not randomly killing civilians, they are targeting Hamas soldiers(that hide behind civilians like the cowards they are).
This is unique narcissistic behavior. True gaslighting.
They have been doing this for 80 years, why are we only now allowed to see what these monsters are doing.
I’m grateful for Jews speaking against Israel.

I forget people under 30 have no knowledge of previous genocides, I'm 38 and can clearly remember The Yugo wars and Rwanda, it was on the news every night.
The film Behind Enermy Lines is it set in the first one, and it's plot starts with pilots gavering evidence of mass graves. It's a pretty good film although very Ameri-Centric.
Keep researching people, and if you have an uneasy feeling about what you are being told, don't think you are going mad, it's just your gut brain letting you know something isn't right, whether it be lies or morally corrupt actions.
I'm 24, from Texas. The only geno/cide ever taught to us was the holocaust and that they aren't common or rarely happen. The problem is that our schools refuse to teach us about it and what it is and how it happens. That's why GenZ are so mad about this because people are trying to hide this and tell us it isn't happening when we see with our own eyes it is. There is an agenda to hide this and keep people from learning about it. Older people may have been out of school for a long time and do not realize how much our school systems are failing us because there are people trying to make that happen.
Everyone under 30 grew up in school systems which never taught about either- and that Gsides are rare or never happen. Repubs have been trying to erase that Gsides ever happened, and wouldn't teach about the Hcost if they could without backlash. Repubs made the US education system fail and are surprised that people are still trying educate themselves despite their efforts. We want to know more but the people who were supposed to teach us failed at teaching. And it wasn't the teachers, it was the principles and school boards who want to teach there is no such thing as Rsism, Gside, Hphobia, etc. They made us uneducated on purpose, but that doesn't mean we're stupid.
@@Rey-it3sg
Bitter racism, Genocide and Homophobia still exist around the world. It is virulent.
Not everyone may know what a war crime is or looks like, but most people on a fundamental level have an innate understanding of what could be a crime against humanity. And that's because all they need to do is put themselves in the position of the victim. That's why Izrael's actions in Gaza has been so emotionally affecting to many, because many feel the inherent inhumanity of it.

Thank you Mr Peter. Extraordinary work and courage. The world needs more Jews like him, like his great grandfather.
Have you been to the Gaza envelope following Oct 7?
Thank you Peter.
Stop the genocide
The only war crimes have been and are committed by Hamas from 2007 through to October 7 2023. These include the bombing and killing civilians and then the indiscriminate murder, rape, burning and the taking of civilians as hostages on Oct. 7. Using civilian institutions e.g. hospitals, schools, aid facilities as military bases to launch their attacks, make these fair targets in war. Hamas terrorists do not wear uniforms but hide among civilians using women and children as shields. Their ideology is the same as the n@azis as they do not want peace, they do not want a two state solution, only to kill Jews. Gaza has plenty of food and no one is starving. Whoever heard of the Allies sending food to Germany and Japan in WWII? The ratio of terrorist to civilian deaths is the lowest ever seen in urban conflicts, (even if one believes the fictitious numbers from the Gaza Ministry of Health aka Hamas) just compare to Afghanistan and Iraq. No country has done more to limit non-combatant casualties as has Israel. Remember that Hamas still holds 133 hostages which is a war crime and they will be defeated. Note the help Israel received from its Sunni neighbors i.e. Jordan and Saudi Arabia in response to the Iranian war crimes.

Bless you Peter for your courage and honesty!
The good times are over for Israel , from now it is downhill all the way .

It may be about to get interesting. Just finished a great talk with Garland Nixon and Laiuf Marouth. Very interesting conversation about Iran, its counter strike and where that leaves Israel.
So you can see the future, good for you.
Honestly, I hope to see a bright future for Israel; one in which they’ve grown past this current bs to see how these vile actions are self defeating and learn to live with their indigenous population. But, like South Africa in the 1980s, that probably won’t happen without a lot of outside pressure.

Respect for your humanity.
What is there to say when an honest Jewish journalist like Peter Maass write about wars crimes being committed at a larger scales than what he witnessed during his time in Bosnia, the genocide convention groups will say he is being paid by Hamas
The genocide in Bosnia was horrific by all means and i thought that was the worst i could see in my lifetime, until the genocide now in Gaza. The difference is, in Bosnia 100K dies in 3 years where around 60% military and 40% civilians, in Gaza more than 95% are civilians. Also the mass destruction of hospitals, schools, universities, refugee camps, holy places, graves, shops and other entities in Gaza never been seen before.
I believe the Bosnian genocide was one of the worst, but at the time the west countries and UN had the conscience to prevent it, but now the west is complicated and funding the genocide.
I wish people understand that the next generations will ask us what we did to prevent this horror? how could we sleep knowing the kids in Gaza dies everyday of bombs or hunger?
"Gaza more than 95% are civilians" LOL if this were true who is shooting at IDF solders? Grandmas in burkas?
comparing the two is an insult to Bosnia
If 95% are civilians, where are all the dead Hamas operatives? Are you aware that the Hamas way of fighting is a war crime by definition of their charter and in practice as well? are you aware that holy places are used for storage of deadly weapons and hospitals used as military headquarters for over a decade, abusing western standards of not hitting those places because they are supposed to be civilian places, something that Hamas laughs about? This is so one-sided ...
You need to get the facts. Hamas terrorists do not wear uniforms but hide among civilians using women and children as shields. Even the Gaza "Ministry of Health" aka Hamas report that 20% are combatants. Since they double their "statistics" it is assumes that at least 40% are combatants and it's probably higher. Kids in Gaza lived very nicely until October 6, so send your questions to Hamas and don't embarrass yourself by spewing obvious nonsense.
@@ashley-fk6dp no it is not. We suffered, we still do. This is on another level. To be honest I spend my nights just keeping up with the news. My parents and my grandparents would do this after they escaped. I did not understand why until now. As war victims we can’t look away, even if we are helpless to make a difference. I was, I am every child I see crying in Gaza.

Mr Maass is agreeing this is a genocide in Gaza.
Hamas did the genocide...they started that war get it stop sleeping

And......................everyone has a different opinion.
@@semsemeini7905 about what excatly?
International law requires member nations to prohibit genocide, even if it weren’t already genocide!
As a survivor of the Srebrenica genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I find the atrocities committed by Serbian military and paramilitary groups and their supporters shockingly similar to the behavior of the IDF, Zionist supporters, and their actions in Palestine.
The other sides did as much to the Serbs, in ww1 ww2 and in the later conflicts, all stirred up by the Germans, USA and other vested parties in the destruction of Jugoslavia
All around the world Genocide looks the same. Some people use that as marketing tool, others live with it. Many genocides are not even talked about. Why we cannot live as humans

I find it so mind boggling that there is any question of the genocide in Palestine, it could not be any clearer. Anyone who says this is not a genocide is insulting the intelligence of the listeners
There is no Genocide.
Look up the definition of genocide.
Populations need to decrease dramatically to be a genocide.
Casualties in a war are not a genocide.
Palestine has already replaced their inflated death numbers.
180 babies born in Gaza a day.
The population has exploded.
They shoot little Martyrs out of their vaginas like missiles.
The term genocide was coined to describe the horror of more than 6 million Jews who were massacred during WW2.
The Jewish population still has not recovered from their genocide 80 years ago.
There is no genocide unless population numbers go down.
That's what the word genocide describes.
Stop misappropriating words to play victim and cause Antisemitic hatred.
Hamas have not done one thing to protect their own children.
They use them as pawns in their war games and to exploit their suffering for sympathy propaganda.
Palestine is blackmailing the world's morality by attacking and then hiding behind their own civilians.
It's the despicable behaviour of sociopaths.
À true journaĺist
LOL!
I think he was cut off too soon. I appreciate Peter Mass and others od the Jewish community speaking up...
I don't understand why we don't hear more from the Israelis. Are they under censorship? If there are no reporters, why don't they speak up on RUclips...or is that illegal. If they are so censored...how to they feel about living in their own glorified prison?

How did he know the nationality of the Sniper ? In Gaza I0F have snipers covering Churches and hospitals. Two women going into the church together were both shot dead.
Back in the days I had Serbia as the "Bad guys" because all the media showed was Serbia shelling a Primary school, but since have learned that there is more to this.
It's well documented. In Mostar, it was Croats destroying Bosniaks. But overall, Serbia's war against Bosniaks was not just military but media driven. And it continues today.
Thank You, Peter!!
Thanks Amy. Excellent people and good interviewing.
This is journalism!
The intervention of western powers in Bosnia was necessary, yet, there's people that criticize this.
The war in Gaza has been handled so poorly on humanitarian grounds, with innocent children and civilians being murdered and their homes deliberately and viciously destroyed on a large scale, directly or indirectly by so-called civilized or democratic governments. This not only causes horrible long-term mental damage to the future generations of Palastinians, but also deeply affects decent and conscientious people around the world. For the past few months, here 6,000 miles away, I have been haunted by nightmares and sleeplessness just imagining what is happening in Gaza. October 7 was bad, but this is a hundred times worse. Even animals, after killing, take a pause for rest.
Thank you

The Jews are called Jews because they originate in JU dea. In Egypt Jewish Birth Certificates listed their religion as Israel ites as they originate from Israel. In Italy since 2,000 years Jews are called Hebrei / Hebrews as they speak Hebrew; a Semitic language that is written like Arabic from right to left with the First pages in the back. The Roman historian Flavius Josephus clearly documents the arrival of the Jews in France, Germany and Spain with the Romans.
@semsemeini7905 wrong, jew is a derivative of Judah, the southern kingdom of Isreal which included judah,Benjamin and Levi. Three nations of Isreal
@@moecolione2852 Israel wasn’t a place before 1948. Israelites referred to descendants of the man in the buybull stories named Israel.
The Jewish and Muslims have been living together in peace and harmony even during world war 2. When sioniste came to Palestine the have spoiled the harmony and peace between the two communities.
History flash: Jews came to Israel much before WW2, but by and large they were not accepted there blindly like Europe and the West have been accepting Muslim refugees and muslims from all over the world over the last half century to the point of granting them more than local citizens do, excessive protections and first-class benefits and integration. Despite them being refugees from a bloddy-deadly antisemitic Europe long predating WW2. That's except for those living their throughout history, which were a minority indeed, and other than a minority of friendly inviting Arab villages.
More specificaly, sadly, already before WW2, 1936-1939, the Arabs consistently attacked Jews in Israel indiscriminantly in an organized manner, but this chapter is not popular in Arab history textbooks, since the British did their best to protect and curb that, as it was also aimed at British facilities and personnel. This led to the British encouraging or allowing the Jewish community to organize their own protections, most of which were following what you'd call modern concepts of ethics, and only the fringes being terrorist, which unlike with Hamas were not supported by the majority (and at one period the main Jewish establishment hunted them down under moral grounds). So much of that context that you present in that saying is kind of falsy.
As part of the wider context, the political Arab leader of Jerusalem at the time of WW2, the mufti, formerly an Otoman regional ruler or something like that, struck a close cooperation with Adolf Hitler approaching and during that time of WW2.
You are misaccurate to the point of quite misleading. Also in Arab countries, the non-Muslim was always treated better (no tax to pay for being not muslim, allowed to practice worship in public and so on), and the last time that a Muslim country took in Jewish refugees to the best of my limited knowledge was when Turkey (not sure how it called itself back then) gladly took in much of the Jewish population exiled from Spain in one batch.
In what is modern Israel, 2 million muslims live with full electoral and other rights, many of which serve in the army out of personal choice. They are represented in parliament and everything. It's better to have a two state (many-state, since Jordan is the same ethnic group mostly) and a regional peace than promoting a genocidal settlement which Hamas are. While dismantling Israeli settlements outside of its defined border at that time. If the region is ready, not when it is run by the war crime ideology of Hamas and the Qataris.
If you have any shred of humanity regardless of your belief and ideology you would seriously condemn this brutal genocide being committed by the extremists right wing government of Israel.
Very very moving. Thank you.

This "We have 15 seconds" is so annoying. Make the interviews before and cut them for gods sake and let the internet crowd hear, what relevant people have to say.
Thanks to you..
Everyone must be against IDF,s atrocities and war crime in Gaza.
I support Israel buddy.
@democracynow: You promised a link to Peter's article in the description, but i see none? Thanks for this important interview.
it is very interesting how sensitive the media is to certain sufferings.
