Simple. As soon as you pass a law for "safety" and/or "security", it becomes incredibly hard to change or repeal it. Regardless of whether it actually did what it was intended to do (keep anyone safe or secure), if you alter or remove it, should anyone get hurt after it, even if it's unreasonable to blame the repeal of the law, you, as a politician, can be held politically liable. "If you hadn't repealed it those people would still be alive!!!" It thus becomes safer (politically) to not touch it, than to be the person trying to remove it.
That might be true, but GSV arguably makes the layout and architecture of Israel even more clear. These people can use how GSV doesn't make Israel vulnerable as an example.

While your overall points are good, the "I couldn't find a single case where the KBA stopped or disrupted an attack on israel" statement was a fallacy, as Negative Conflict isn't a measurable thing, if conflict doesn't happen it doesn't happen, we can only measure when it does happen. It's hard to find a case where UN Peacekeeping, a nations defensive capability, or concepts like M.A.D. have stopped a war from occurring, outside of a prospective opponent directly going "We didn't fight them/chose peace because X impediment" which is often an undesirable statement to admit to their intended opponent or openly in international discourse. That doesn't mean such considerations didn't work, just that it's not reasonably measurable how much they worked/were needed and how far above/below the required level they were. But yeah, the way the KBA is handled, the things outside it's control, and even pre-existing tech levels, make it a pretty moot law.

Technically, the UN does stop wars. Its just that most war nowadays use different words to describe it to sidestep it. So there is less "war" in the world today but there a lot of "military conflict". Legally, countries just stop issuing Declaration of War and instead just directly send their military to deal with those "conflict". Which is also why the word "war" now is largely a media word as technically, there was no war.

honestly if it managed to trick you i think it's working... the blurry bases aren't for you to not know where the military bases are but for you to not know which places in the military base to hit... in 1967 Israel had recon of the buildings in Egyptian airforce bases and could easily know where the hangars are,where the barracks are,the landing and takeoff runways heck even the cafeteria.... if you know how the base is built you know exactly where to strike it.

@@יוסיסוריזון I`m into military history and read a lot of/war books. Read a few about the wars with Israel. In the Yom Kippur War the IDF where surprised by the use of Saggers. I think the IDF called the Egyptians with them `men with suitcases!` I had a lot of respect for the IDF but having watched just some of the tiktok vids they look horrible. Plus they do not seem to be able to fight properly. Do you watch the Electronic intifada here on YT? Some of the Hamas and other group operations they are so smart and brave.

Rockets are fired to Israel quite often, and they usually miss . If the blurriness helps or not against it, you can't know for sure. It's quite hard to prove or disprove its effectiveness. But, at least it means it's a bit harder to get better quality. Just like locks on doors. They don't stop burgles. They delay them or make it a bit harder to enter, making some just ditch the idea because it's harder.

this video was amazing, you're like an alternate version of cgp grey, with the alliteration and rhyming and everything, love to see more of your content!
8:57 so who is actually going to profit from changing this? You never really said, it just seemed more like complaining for complaining sake. All you said was basically ‘it would provide an unbiased source for conflicts and better for the markets’. Edit: You also included “research”, but you didn’t really list any examples of research needing to be done by high detailed satellite. If anything, keeping it at the level of the rest of the world keeps it unbiased and balanced. And if what you said was true, that their are higher detailed photos laying around/given out by the Israeli government, wouldn’t that count towards “the competition” aspect? So, what is the point of making the video?
I would imagine keeping the KBA around is just a politics thing at this point. Satellite imagery of Israel being low quality isn't a massive problem for most people, so there isn't really any demand to get rid of it. At the same time, trying to get rid of it would just lead to opposition run media publishing headlines like "[insert party] are creating maps which threaten Israel's national security", so it's not worth it from their perspective.

סך הכל כמעט כל מדינה שיש בה סכסוך לאומי כלשהו אני חושב שיהיה צנזורה מלאה או חלקית על אזורי החיכוך המרכזיים. במקרה של ישראל כמדינה קטנה, כל מקום הוא אזור פגיע במיוחד שמודעים לכוח של המדינות השכנות. עם כל הטכנולוגיה שיש לישראל, ואפילו בשליטה החלקית וההתקדמות שהמדינה עשתה עם גוגל... זה די מפתיע שדווקא אצלנו ככה נראות המפות, מצד שני שמבינים מאיפה זה מגיע יש הרבה היגיון.
I'm an Israeli and speaks Hebrew from birth and after a thorough search I couldn't find any Israeli law that says you can't have high resolution images of Israel
I just stumbled across this video again, and I found it quite informative! I find it quite ironic that my country (I am an American) would try to blur satellite imagery of Israel... when even _they_ don't! Thanks for the video!
Imo, you saying the KBA hasnt really helped cause you havent seen any reports of it helping doesnt really mean anything. The entire point is that if it works perfectly, then you will never know it did anything to begin with, since its preventing potential attacks and those attacks cant happen if they are stopped
@@Tapakapa It would certainly be helpful if they reported such things, though honestly I have no idea where they would actually get that data. Especially if the goal was largely to dissuade attacks rather then catch them in planning

Fun fact: Israel employs GPS jamming in northern Israel and southern Lebanon, so if you open google maps in northern Israel (like Haifa, for example), the map will show that you're stuck in the middle of the beirut airport
The argument that better satellite imagery of military bases does not constitute a security threat is very much arguable. Overall though, Very good video!
Actually, the aggressively blurred properties on the government map are probably private areas. The one you showed in the video looks like its just some dock machinery.
Second Thought? Isn't that the channel that supports the DPRK? "Hey guys North Korea isn't actually that bad anyways capitalism will kill everyone and dictatorships are the only right way"
Me looking at 2:50 That area looks similar... A port city, with a curve, What looks like a port... aand that's Rambam Hospital, yes that is Haifa and I can even distinguish the old Kiryat Eliezer Stadium (that is destroyed), and a few other places.
Thank you for the video, as someone who lives in Israel I had no idea it was a thing, I just have a few points I wanna share. Just because people have used public low-res maps to attack Israel doesn't mean the KBA didn't help, we can't know how many attacks it prevented or disrupted, since we can't compare it to anything. It does sound like the KBA is outdated, but you can't say it was completely useless. As some people already said in the comments, the KBA probably still exists as a way for the US to show their support for Israel, getting rid of it might seem like they don't care for Israel's security anymore and it can start conflict, and since it doesn't really affect things anyways then there's no rush to get rid of it.
why do you palestinians think that everything that has to do with israel is connected to u, unlike you we arent devoted into the destruction of our enemies
And since the pictures are blurred after they are taken, you can be *certain* that the people that have an interest in Israel have their ways and means of obtaining the original images. On the other hand, Hamas and Hisbollah are not on that list of people with intercontinental missiles, so they use the blurry imagery, but that doesnt matter to them as their rockets barely fly straight anyway.
ah yes,needless laws restricting stuff like that reminds of the fact that google street view isn't available in germany anymore. I remember playing around with that when it first came out, but you just can't use it anymore (no idea since when). Only weird spots where you can look around from elevated positions
first of all amazing video, didn't know all that stuff although I'm Israeli. when I was in the army I got to use the military version of google maps, and it's has a muchhhhhhhhhhh better resolution, although the resolution changes from area to area, like Gaza's resolution was marginally better the Cairo's, although there were huge swaths of Iranian desert with the highest resolution.
And then the IDF put the keriya right in the middle of Tel Aviv, across the road from the shalom train station... Mind you they also built the pit (ah Bor) upside down
That can only possibly do so much. A pixelated image holds less information than an unpixelated one, and information can't come from nowhere. For text, faces, or anything else following a somewhat predictable pattern, it's possible, but for something like a map of an air force base there's just too many possibilities for what's in some region. E.g., even if it can determine there's probably a long, light colored rectangle below some pixels, there's unlikely to be enough additional information to determine if it has the features of a runway, or a strip of grass, or a building, or a line of trucks, etc.
Love the Israeli idea of just blurring sensative areas, then also put a major sensative army base in the middle of the biggest metropolitan area, literally across the road from a major train station, massive mall and three very tall office buildings, also the major hospital for the area is just to the north of it, same as the biggest public library, the opera, to the south across the road is a massive tourist area... Totally secretive yes...
You're an idiot if you don't understand the logic behind it. The terrorists already know, way ahead of time where are military bases located, blurring sensitive areas is a must.
Israel is insecure they know the terrible stuff they do in Palestine so of course they'll blur it. Like a criminal trying to erase his criminal record.
as a israeli I want to say: 1. I can translate for you 2. nice video, but you have one mistake, we are smart. we dont blur only where we dont want, we blur another areas near them so its still help
Honestly it's really weird to know that my country is blurred most of the world I did not know that until I watch this video and although it's random and means nothing pretty much I haven't finished the video yet so maybe I'm wrong but it's still announced me to know that from all of the world we have terrible quality show

This is another one of those things that is only Stated to be about safety when in fact it’s about something else. This is just one aspect of how the US continuously runs diplomatic cover for the illegal expansion of Israeli territory, and the consequences of Israeli airstrikes.

Hey isn’t just me or is this painfully similar to GCP Grey?

honestly if it managed to trick you i think it's working... the blurry bases aren't for you to not know where the military bases are but for you to not know which places in the military base to hit... in 1967 Israel had recon of the buildings in Egyptian airforce bases and could easily know where the hangars are,where the barracks are,the landing and takeoff runways heck even the cafeteria.... if you know how the base is built you know exactly where to strike it.
they knew the names of the pilots as well.

@@יוסיסוריזון I`m into military history and read a lot of/war books. Read a few about the wars with Israel. In the Yom Kippur War the IDF where surprised by the use of Saggers. I think the IDF called the Egyptians with them `men with suitcases!`

this video was amazing, you're like an alternate version of cgp grey, with the alliteration and rhyming and everything, love to see more of your content!
Greetings
tl;dr: Israel doesn't censor it, even puts out highres images on its own website. It's a strange US regulation preventing US companies to do it.
8:57 so who is actually going to profit from changing this? You never really said, it just seemed more like complaining for complaining sake.
All you said was basically ‘it would provide an unbiased source for conflicts and better for the markets’. Edit: You also included “research”, but you didn’t really list any examples of research needing to be done by high detailed satellite.
If anything, keeping it at the level of the rest of the world keeps it unbiased and balanced. And if what you said was true, that their are higher detailed photos laying around/given out by the Israeli government, wouldn’t that count towards “the competition” aspect?
So, what is the point of making the video?

This aged well.

Why is the US passing a law about satellite imagery of a totally separate country on the other side of the planet?
we own da satellites
I would imagine keeping the KBA around is just a politics thing at this point. Satellite imagery of Israel being low quality isn't a massive problem for most people, so there isn't really any demand to get rid of it. At the same time, trying to get rid of it would just lead to opposition run media publishing headlines like "[insert party] are creating maps which threaten Israel's national security", so it's not worth it from their perspective.

סך הכל כמעט כל מדינה שיש בה סכסוך לאומי כלשהו אני חושב שיהיה צנזורה מלאה או חלקית על אזורי החיכוך המרכזיים. במקרה של ישראל כמדינה קטנה, כל מקום הוא אזור פגיע במיוחד שמודעים לכוח של המדינות השכנות. עם כל הטכנולוגיה שיש לישראל, ואפילו בשליטה החלקית וההתקדמות שהמדינה עשתה עם גוגל... זה די מפתיע שדווקא אצלנו ככה נראות המפות, מצד שני שמבינים מאיפה זה מגיע יש הרבה היגיון.

Kyl-Bingaman Amendment is such a great amendment name.
I just stumbled across this video again, and I found it quite informative! I find it quite ironic that my country (I am an American) would try to blur satellite imagery of Israel... when even _they_ don't! Thanks for the video!
Imo, you saying the KBA hasnt really helped cause you havent seen any reports of it helping doesnt really mean anything. The entire point is that if it works perfectly, then you will never know it did anything to begin with, since its preventing potential attacks and those attacks cant happen if they are stopped
Good point. Still, doing a thing like this without ever publicizing any actual proof that it works is problematic at best.
@@Tapakapa It would certainly be helpful if they reported such things, though honestly I have no idea where they would actually get that data. Especially if the goal was largely to dissuade attacks rather then catch them in planning

The Israeli Basic Law doesn't talk about these issues, the Basic Law is a kind of Israeli common law constitution, but if you care about Israeli laws, you have to frequent Israeli laws, which are way more complicated...
1. The golan is part of israel
2. There is no such place called "palestine"
1. golan is part of syria
2. there is such a place called "palestine" and is recognized by 132 countries (the list of major countries not recongizing it includes: Israel, the US, UK, france, hungary, germany, spain, etc
@@adamelghalmi9771 1. Israel annexed the golan and it is now officially part of it
2. While being recognized by nations is usefull for a country, it isn't a condition for being a country, but independence is , and Palestine isn't independent because it relies on aid from countries
@@drnext5007
1. nobody recognizes golan heights as israeli and when civil war ends syria does plan on retaking it
2.west bank if fully independent from any type of aid (if u count paid labor aid you are simply not smart) and gaza is reliant upon aid due to a 18, now nearing 19 year long blockade of any trade from it, which is israel's doing.

"The Israeli law database is solely available in Hewbrew." I am looking at wingdings.

Second thought deserves to be lesser known for his denial upon annexation of Donetsk.
We in Israel use local website for this with high resolution, where only military bases are blurred... so no worries...
I’ve learned a lot from this video about satellite imagery. Thank you, friend!
Ahh, so the blur is something like japanese porn censorship
If you can't see if settlements are in the wrong places at 2m resolution you need better image processors.

aand that's Rambam Hospital, yes that is Haifa and I can even distinguish the old Kiryat Eliezer Stadium (that is destroyed), and a few other places.
i dont get it, what does KBA mean?
Thank you for the video, as someone who lives in Israel I had no idea it was a thing, I just have a few points I wanna share.
Just because people have used public low-res maps to attack Israel doesn't mean the KBA didn't help, we can't know how many attacks it prevented or disrupted, since we can't compare it to anything. It does sound like the KBA is outdated, but you can't say it was completely useless.
As some people already said in the comments, the KBA probably still exists as a way for the US to show their support for Israel, getting rid of it might seem like they don't care for Israel's security anymore and it can start conflict, and since it doesn't really affect things anyways then there's no rush to get rid of it.
Thanks for not getting anti or pro palestine. This is just a educational video without any supporting or other stuff! 👍

Are you inspired by CGP Grey?
Hello Tapahapa. I live in Israel and know Hebrew. Would you like me to send you a translaition of the rules? (not all of them, the important ones).
And since the pictures are blurred after they are taken, you can be *certain* that the people that have an interest in Israel have their ways and means of obtaining the original images.
On the other hand, Hamas and Hisbollah are not on that list of people with intercontinental missiles, so they use the blurry imagery, but that doesnt matter to them as their rockets barely fly straight anyway.
its not censored, we folks in israel just live in 8 bit 👍
Yessir
ah yes,needless laws restricting stuff like that
reminds of the fact that google street view isn't available in germany anymore. I remember playing around with that when it first came out, but you just can't use it anymore (no idea since when). Only weird spots where you can look around from elevated positions
How many takes did you do before you said KBA correctly?
first of all amazing video, didn't know all that stuff although I'm Israeli.
when I was in the army I got to use the military version of google maps, and it's has a muchhhhhhhhhhh better resolution, although the resolution changes from area to area, like Gaza's resolution was marginally better the Cairo's, although there were huge swaths of Iranian desert with the highest resolution.
And then the IDF put the keriya right in the middle of Tel Aviv, across the road from the shalom train station...

why am I seeing pixels
Oh is that why? It’s horrible, I hate it
Recently, there is a developing bot that Un-pixelated pixelated images
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, *YOU IN!*
edit: grammar
That can only possibly do so much. A pixelated image holds less information than an unpixelated one, and information can't come from nowhere.
For text, faces, or anything else following a somewhat predictable pattern, it's possible, but for something like a map of an air force base there's just too many possibilities for what's in some region. E.g., even if it can determine there's probably a long, light colored rectangle below some pixels, there's unlikely to be enough additional information to determine if it has the features of a runway, or a strip of grass, or a building, or a line of trucks, etc.
"often the most currupt of people hide the most"
Love the Israeli idea of just blurring sensative areas, then also put a major sensative army base in the middle of the biggest metropolitan area, literally across the road from a major train station, massive mall and three very tall office buildings, also the major hospital for the area is just to the north of it, same as the biggest public library, the opera, to the south across the road is a massive tourist area...
Totally secretive yes...
well the enemy will have a harder time to pinpoint the very important stuff instead of bombing the whole censored area
You're an idiot if you don't understand the logic behind it. The terrorists already know, way ahead of time where are military bases located, blurring sensitive areas is a must.
its a great way to be the agressor and then bitch and moan when the shitty enemy rockets hit those civillian meatshields
Israel is insecure they know the terrible stuff they do in Palestine so of course they'll blur it. Like a criminal trying to erase his criminal record.
What are you talking about?
as a israeli I want to say:
1. I can translate for you
2. nice video, but you have one mistake, we are smart. we dont blur only where we dont want, we blur another areas near them so its still help
so we basically mislead the enemy
