David Hearst: After 15 months of brutality, Israel has failed on every front | MEE Opinion

- David Hearst, editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, explains how the recently brokered ceasefire, which forces Israeli withdrawals from Gaza and allows displaced Palestinians to return home, marks a major defeat for Israel's military and political objectives.
Hearst says that, despite relentless military aggression, mass displacement, and immense suffering, Palestinians have shown extraordinary resilience, steadfastly refusing to relinquish their land.
He adds that when push came to shove, it was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who ultimately blinked. For months, Netanyahu had been the primary obstacle to a ceasefire, to the considerable frustration of his own negotiators. According to Hearst, every Israeli journalist covering the negotiations reported that Netanyahu rejected all previous deals, delaying the agreement that was eventually reached.
In the end, it took a single meeting with US President-elect Donald Trump’s special Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, to bring Netanyahu’s 15-month war to an end.
Hearst argues that Gaza’s steadfastness has become a powerful symbol of defiance, reshaping global perceptions, particularly among younger generations, and bolstering the international movement for Palestinian liberation. He concludes that the conflict has demonstrated to the world that even overwhelming military force cannot break the resolve of a people determined to remain on their land.

@@kimbeverleywaters1This is the best explanation of all that has happened in the Middle East between Israel, and its neighbors, that I have found. Everyone should read it!
By Avi Benlolo, founding chairman of the Abraham Global Peace Initiative.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is fraught with myths, one of the most persistent being the existence of a Palestinian state before Israel’s establishment in 1948. This narrative is historically inaccurate and serves to delegitimize Israel. Understanding the true history is crucial, as the Palestinian narrative continues to be used as propaganda.
Before Israel declared independence in 1948, the region now known as Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip was part of the British Mandate for Palestine, which was established by the League of Nations after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in the First World War.
Under Ottoman rule, the area was divided into various administrative districts, with no distinct political entity known as “Palestine.” The concept of a Palestinian national identity emerged in the 20th century, largely in response to the Zionist movement and increased Jewish immigration in the area.
However, there was never a Palestinian state, flag or anthem. The notion of a pre-existing Palestinian state is a modern fabrication that ignores the region’s actual history.
The modern State of Israel’s legitimacy is rooted in international law and global recognition. On Nov. 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution 181, known as the “Partition Plan,” proposing two states - one Jewish and one Arab.
The Jewish community accepted the plan, demonstrating a willingness to compromise for peace. However, the Arab states rejected it, refusing to recognize any Jewish state, and instead launched a military assault on Israel following its declaration of independence on May 14, 1948.
Another pervasive myth is the “Nakba” or “catastrophe,” narrative, which claims that Palestinians were forcibly expelled by Israel in 1948. This version omits the critical context that it was the Arab nations that invaded Israel, causing many Arabs to be expelled or flee their homes.
Rather than absorbing the displaced population, the surrounding Arab countries kept them in refugee camps, using them as pawns to pressure Israel. Organizations like UNRWA perpetuated this situation, keeping Palestinians in limbo rather than encouraging their integration into their host countries. This contrasts sharply with how other refugee populations have been handled, where integration and resettlement are the norm.
The land referred to as “Palestine” has always been inherently Jewish. The Jewish people have maintained a continuous presence there for thousands of years, long before Islam or the Arab conquests.
Archeological artifacts - such as the ancient fortress of Masada, the Dead Sea Scrolls and ancient synagogues - provide irrefutable proof of this enduring presence. The historical Jewish connection to the land is undeniable and should not be overshadowed by modern political narratives. The Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem was built atop the Jewish Temple hundreds of years after Jews established Jerusalem.
Another myth is that the West Bank and Gaza have always been Palestinian territories, with Israel acting as an occupier. After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Transjordan annexed the West Bank and Egypt took control of Gaza.
During this period, there was no significant Palestinian independence movement or international push for an independent Palestinian state. The concept of a Palestinian state only gained traction after Israel’s victory in the 1967 Six-Day War, when Israel took control of these areas from Jordan and Egypt.
Israel’s capture of the West Bank in 1967 was a strategic necessity, not an act of expansionism. Surrounded by hostile neighbours, Israel sought to create a buffer zone to protect itself from future attacks. However, this victory also led to Israel gaining control over a large Palestinian population, which had previously been under Jordanian rule.
Breaking the myths that are deeply woven into the narrative surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is crucial. Recognizing the Jewish people’s right to live in Israel does not mean that the land cannot be shared. Indeed, Jews have a long history of seeking peace and coexistence. However, the Palestinian leadership has consistently rejected peace overtures, clinging to a false narrative aimed at Israel’s destruction.
The narrative that Israel is an occupier of lands rightfully belonging to a pre-existing Palestinian state is unsupported by historical facts. Before 1948, there was no Palestinian state. The Land of Israel has always been the ancestral home of the Jewish people, a fact supported by thousands of years of history. Attempts to erase this connection are not only disingenuous, they’re dangerous.
Israel’s existence is legitimate, its borders are recognized by international law and its actions in 1967 were driven by security needs, not territorial conquest. That’s why, in 2005, Israel handed over the Gaza Strip. Yet, rather than building a peaceful state, the Palestinians built a terrorist front to attack Israel.
As we confront today’s challenges, it is vital to shatter the myths distorting the region’s history and to stand firm in defending the truth.
@@kimbeverleywaters1I thought victimhood was MADE in Israel?
Israel is the worst thing ever happened in this world. This is exactly the reason Israelites were kicked out of every nation for thousands of years ....should have kept it that way.

I am a 73 year old man and I have spent the better part of my life trying to understand why I seem to always feel a certain sadness in my heart. Then I thought, maybe this had something to do with it. Hopefully this story brings out others like me. In 1963 Zionists came to my home in Casablanca Morocco, to convince my parents to send me and my little sister to Israel without them. I was 12 and my sister 9 when we started our miserable journey to the "Promised land". It destroyed our family and left me and my sister with long lasting scars neither one of us has been able to heal. Being from Morocco made it even more difficult to live in a more racist country than Morocco ever was. We had a very peaceful life as Jews living amongst Muslims in Morocco. We understood each other and helped each other. To this day, the principal advisor to King Mohamed is a Jew. But the Zionists needed boddies to fill Israel and slowly claim more and more land from the Palestinians they kept displacing. The people running Israel are not Jews. True Jews would have helped the Palestinians evolve and share in their fortunes, like we did for centuries in the Arab world. Israel claims it is defending itself? Against whom? The people they have been displacing and opressing for 80 years? Israel, my advice to you, if you want to survive, get rid of the religious zealots who run your government and join the 21st century.
Sir, may the Almighty God grant you peace and unite you with your loved ones. Muslims and Jews ( Christians too) have lived peacefully for centuries. Zionists who continue to abuse Judaism for their evil, materialistic aims caused division and chaos. Satan must be extremely pleased with them.
For people like yourself we extend our hand of respect and prayers.

BEYOND SLAVERY
FORGOTTEN SLAVERY:
Over the years, global focus and discourse on slavery has concentrated on the Trans-Atlantic trade that featured American and European merchants. One other trade has however remained largely ignored, and at times has even been treated as a taboo subject, despite being a key component of African history owing to the devastating impact it has had on the continent, its generations and its people’s way of life.
The Arab Muslim slave trade, also known as the trans-Saharan trade or Eastern slave trade, is noted as the longest slave trade, having occurred for more than 1,300 years while taking millions of Africans away from their continent to work in foreign lands in the most inhumane conditions.
Scholars have christened it a veiled genocide, attributing the tag line to the most humiliating and near-death experience slaves were subjected to, from capture in slave markets to labour fields abroad and the harrowing journey in between.
While official figures on the exact number of slaves captured from Africa in the Trans Sahara trade are contested, most scholars put the estimate at about nine million.
Coast of ZanzibarIn East Africa the coastal region was the preferred route of slave trade, with Zanzibar as its hub.
The Eastern slave trade in Africa was predominantly concentrated in the East and West African regions. In East Africa the coastal region was the preferred route and Tanzania’s archipelago of Zanzibar became a hub for this trade.
“The Arabs raided sub-Saharan Africa for thirteen centuries without interruption. Most of the millions of men they deported have disappeared as a result of inhumane treatment. This painful page in the history of black people has apparently not been completely turned,” read a loosely translated excerpt from The Veiled Genocide a book by Tidiane N'Diaye, a Franco-Senegalese author and anthropologist.
Enterprising Arab merchants and middlemen would gather in Zanzibar for raw materials including cloves and ivory. They would then buy black slaves who they would use to carry the raw materials and also work in their plantations abroad. Slaves from as far as Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia would be availed at the Zanzibar market and shipped through the Indian Ocean to the Persian Gulf or Arabic Peninsula where they worked in Oman, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. African Muslims were however never captured as slaves due to the Islamic legal views.
On the other hand the Trans Saharan Caravan concentrated on the West African region straddling the Niger Valley to the Gulf of Guinea along the Trans-Saharan roads to slave markets in Maghreb and the Nile Basin. The voyage that could take up to three months involved inhumane conditions that saw slaves die along the way due to diseases, hunger and thirst. An estimated 50 percent of all slaves in this trade would die in transit.
While European merchants were interested in strongly built young men as labourers in their farms, the Arab merchants were more focused on concubinage, capturing women and girls who were turned into sex slaves while living in harems. So high was the demand that the merchants would double the price of female slaves with, the ratio of captured women to men being three to one.
“THE PRACTICE OF CASTRATION ON BLACK MALE SLAVES IN THE MOST INHUMANE MANNER ALTERED AN ENTIRE GENERATION AS THESE MEN COULD NOT REPRODUCE."
Liberty Mukomo
Male slaves would work as field workers or guards at the harems. To ensure that they never reproduced in case they got intimate with their fellow female slaves, the men and boys were castrated and made eunuchs in a brutal operation by which the majority would lose their lives in the process.
“The practice of castration on black male slaves in the most inhumane manner altered an entire generation as these men could not reproduce. The Arab masters sired children with the black female slaves. This devastation by the men saw those who survived committing suicide. This development explains the modern black Arabs who are still trapped by history,” said Liberty Mukomo, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi Institute of Diplomacy and International Studies.
And even as Europe, one of the key players in the African slave trade, abolished the practice hundreds of years ago and the United States officially ended it in 1865, Arab countries continued the trade with majority ending it late in the 20th century. In Malawi, slavery was officially criminalized in 2007 with mentions of some Arab countries currently being involved albeit clandestinely.
“Even as the rest of the world realized the harm slavery did to an entire continent and made a declaration to abolish it, the Arabs protested it and it took a lot of international trade and revolt by the slaves for them to end it. But it is the degree and intensity with which it altered the entire social, reproductive and economic life of black people that made it more brutal and painful than the trans-Atlantic one,” said Liberty.

I agree with the assessment. The regime has failed on every front in this disproportionate and brutal conflict. Despite the overwhelming power of its military and the support of its allies, it has been unable to break the unyielding spirit of the people or extinguish their flame of resistance.
Though subjected to unimaginable horrors, suffering, death, and destruction, they continue to persevere and remain steadfast. The dehumanization and decimation of the Palestinian people will not be ignored or dismissed. The entire world is now awake, and their voices will no longer be silenced.

@alfharry1446 Nah. Iran is using the Palestinians as ponds in their proxy war against Israel. If they wanted to be free they could have asked their Arab brethren the Egyptians and Jordanians that controlled their land from 1949-1967. But of course I’m sure you feel that 1948 was the real issue and all that land belongs to the Palestinians. Even if that is the moral position back in 1948, what do you propose to do with the 7 million Jews in Israel today. If your answer is they can go back to where they came from (which most now where born on that land) then don’t be surprised there is no peace. 7 million people aren’t just going to move without a fight.
@@alfharry1446 actually if you look at the modern history of the region, Arabs started attacking Jews in the Levant (British Mandate) in 1920. There were many coordinated attacks of Arabs on Jews through that decade. It wasn't until the late 1920s (I think 1929) when the Jews started to push back. And the Palestinian who was the most destructive force in preventing Arabs from having a good life was Amin Al-Husseini, a giant asshole who loved the Nazis and kept any moderate Arab from making progress toward a peaceful two-state solution. So, let's not confuse history. The Arabs continually rejected ANY peaceful solution.
No chance unless they denounce Hamas

And of course, let’s also stop pretending they even want to be a second state and share ANY of that land with Israeli. If they really cared about a second state next to Israel then why didn’t they ask Egypt and Jordan from 1949-1967 who by the way controlled their current territory, not Israel. But instead of that they wanted to start a war in 1967 to wipe Israeli out.
Like the Palestinians were so kind to the Israelis on Oct. 7. Those peace loving Palestinians.
@@joelf5565 70 years ago, numerous minorities were present throughout the Arab world. They are extinct now. They evaporated? Even Arab Christians, 70 years ago a majority in some parts , are now mostly at a level of statistical error. Are you from Mars??
US and UK also failed. This will not be forgotten
Thank you Gaza’s you free the whole world I’m so sorry for human suffering
ISRAEL SHAME OF THE WORLD
Thanks
It's not a war! A war is when both sides is fighting each other.
Which side isn't fighting!?
@MuhammadLuqman-u4u And both have armies of similar size, airforce of equal capabilities.
None of that here, just bombs Vs babies and unarmed civilians
@@CuriousJoorgethe Palestinians, the civilians as far as I see didn't have machine guns, or any weapons. Hang on, now I think about it, they didn't have, food, a bed, water, health care, because it was all BOMBED
Who started the war?
@mikeg2306 In 1948, who else, the ones that attack and cry victim at the same time. 🤷
The Usual Suspects.
Also Israel has an army, Hamas does not, Israel has tanks and air force, Hamas does not.
Israel has USA unlimited weapons, Hamas does not.
Hamas have rocket launchers and attack from rubble n tunnels.
This is not a war, it's a slaughter when one side doesn't care about human life at all. Not even their own, Hannibal Directive. 🤷
God save 🇵🇸
Perfect analysis.
Thank you for your work Mr Hearst.
Free Palestine.
Free what??
Sitting in your mums basement making childish comments
@@Janez-h1e Free Palestine from military occupation. Duh!
Israel had their time in Palestine, they chose to leave as it didn't support their lifestyles.
Look it up
@@paulr3556 you don't know shit, sir. I will paste a response I made to an earlier ignorant comment here: If you look at the modern history of the region, Arabs started attacking Jews in the Levant (British Mandate) in 1920. There were many coordinated attacks of Arabs on Jews through that decade. It wasn't until the late 1920s (I think 1929) when the Jews started to push back. And the Palestinian who was the most destructive force in preventing Arabs from having a good life was Amin Al-Husseini, a giant asshole who loved the Nazis and kept any moderate Arab from making progress toward a peaceful two-state solution. So, let's not confuse history. The Arabs continually rejected ANY peaceful solution. NOW, whenever the Israelis have left the "Palestinians" to their own devices, guess what happens? Attacks. So, the Palestinians have brought upon themselves any and all occupations, attacks, etc. and they can stop it whenever they decide to allow the Jews to have a homeland.
@@paulr3556 Gaza wasn't under occupation from 2006 until they decided to murder 1200 Israelis and kidnap another 200 (including kids). Sorry Israel responded, that was so rude of them. You're an idiot. Study the history of the region before you comment.
Great analysis ftom Mr. Hearst. Gazans have lost their life and property but they've preserved their dignity and sovereignty.
The Palestinians have shown they are rooted to their land and will sacrifice and endure anything to defend it and gain their freedom. What has been inflicted on them is beyond anyone could bear or live through. Free Palestine
Free indeed. No returns though.
Immediate ceasefire not “ wait until Sunday”…🤬 FREE PALASTINE 🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪
Free what??
@ you know exactly what.
@FoxyUSAx - Yes. Free Palestine. Just hours after ceasefire agreement, Israel bombed refuge camps and women and children died. It was really disheartening when I saw a brother cried for his dead younger brother when they just celebrated the news of going to have peace in just 3 days. Unbelievable barbaric behaviour.
@ sadly, yes. IzZ R@Y L psych0. Paths….
David Hearst in an honest man
He is a deluded man!
Thank you very much for standing with us Mr Hearst, we are grateful
Amazing Palestine 🇵🇸 people
Amazing what??
Thank you Allah...peace for all❤❤❤
Stop the genocide gaza
Stop what??
@@Janez-h1e Always the shitstirrer 🤷
Israel stopped it on October 7.
@mikeg2306 No, that was Israel starting the mass bombing after Oct7, they knew n siezed upon that as a perfect excuse to rain down hell from above. Bibi has been caught on camera years ago saying that was his plan. So, since 1948, it's a long term plan. Which includes turning Israels enemies into Americas enemies.
Bibi testified to the existence of weapons of mass destruction remember.
Lies, lies, lies. 🤷
Alhamdullillahi Rabbil Alameen .
And they plan and Allah also plans and Allah is the best planner ❤
Did he plan the flattened Gaza? He is indeed the best planner
Israel should be compelled to pay reparations to Palestinians, before being deported to the USA!!!
Question: What is the difference between Adolf Hitler and Bibi?
Moustache...
🇿🇦🇵🇸
Yes; we have all witnessed the abused become the deluded, entitled abuser
Germany attacked others. Israel was attacked.
Same stuff.
Thank you for your not biased information
Long live Palestine !!!
Very well said. I agree.
Very well summarized!
Thank you I have watched the entire video very well crafted talk. Peace to the Middle East
Great narrative🎉
Great narrative🎉 Thank You, David
Bravo PALESTINA ❤❤❤❤
Bravo what??
Palastinan has to get their own independent this is important
Who has to get independence??
Yeah. Just like the asian countries got independant from British Imperial or South Africa from Apartheid or urbekistan and other countries from Russia. That's the real meaning of freedom, not freedom to take someone else land by force and call it your own.
Palestinians don't want that. They want a state alright, but the state they want is Israel.
@ hahahahaha, Balkan countries were under Russia? You are really knowledgeable in international politics. Can we have any more expert advice concerning real freedom from you?
@Janez-h1e Thank you, you are right. Balkan wasn't under russia. Amend it already.
Historic indeed!
Thank you.
Outstanding analysis- thanks
Well said sir😊 outspoken about Israel and gaza
Great analysis, thanks for sharing.
Brilliant analysis !
Free Palestine from the river to the sea
Free what??
@Janez-h1e nothing but ,whole Arab land ! Israel doesn't exist at oll
They can have the river and the sea. The land in between is Israel.
@mikeg2306 because land is free for thieves physiopaths and war criminals,paristies , their is no israhell but war mongers and baby killers with diaper iof /IDF ..shame on u zillion times
Palestine will not be free of Israel, and Israel will not be free of Palestine. So "free from the river to the sea" is a false promise refuted by this bloody futile war.
Gaza has raised the bar of human suffering, will power, determination and bravery to unprecedented new level.
Salute to the brave people of Gaza .
Alhamdulillah! The Palestinians are heroes!!! 💖💖🧿🧿
Who are heroes??
@@Janez-h1e YOU ACTUALLY DONT HAVE ANY WORK HUH ? JUST GO AND BE EMPLOYED.
@@Janez-h1e - Freedom fighter. You heard of one? We don't approve of entitled people who think they deserved someone else land just because the super power said soo. 750,000 palestinian were kick out of their own land and houses for Israel to exist.
Even the British had to let go of their imperialsed attitude and give freedom to their colonised countries. Brute forced to get your own way will always got resisted, so don't cry victim when the real victims fight back.
@@Janez-h1enot the Is ra el is
Great analysis!

Thanks for you respectfull journalist
Israel has lost all humanity
Talking about your mind maybe?
@@Janez-h1e talking about yours
@@alfharry1446 if that is so, why didn't you mention me in your 1st comment?
@@Janez-h1e oh you wanted to be first, what a shame, lost that as well
@@alfharry1446 puppy, you are saying that, I am not. I only asked you a question, if you are smart enough to understand?
The world will never forget the true evil ones
Freedom will prevail❤
Free Palestine!!
Free what??
Sure, but no return policy
@@CuriousJoorge then it should be the same for both sides
This should be called “Middle East Blind Eye”.
"Evil thrives when good people do nothing."
Long live Palestine! Long live Gaza and brave Gazans! Long live justice in Middle Est!
