My dad's mother is from the Bronx NYC, full blooded Israeli, and my daughter is 21 years old...I'm a registered nurse and ex-US-soldier....I can't imagine sending my daughter into combat... I have so much respect for this brother !!!!
1Huge mistake by Rabbis in some century to count Jews by mother. It's not official God's decision and Illuminates a lot of good people from counting themselves As Jews . Israel is by law of return, gives, even if any of your grandparents on father side right to return ! Which is way more realistic approach. If you good enough to be killed by Nazi, because you have Jewish blood , you should be counted, if you want, as a Jew! 2 Same time fake Jews, born from supposed Jewish mothers, simpatise with Muslims and left and right wing Nazis , at best, their are self hating Jews or just traitors. They do not have the right to call to be called Jews. 3 At the same time, 99% Rabbi around the world and Israel falling to teach about Real Actual Jews history. They teach some talmud and use it to interpret for modern times, but it's limited to a very simplistic, but fancy and worldly approach. As result you have bunch of Jwes who are born in comfortable upbringing and get negative when IDF makes some move, not appropriate for thier delusional ideas. 😮
For sure, It would be really tough. Firstly, the women with the boots I would tell her to save one for yourself, don't be captured. Since how they disrespectfully hate woman They like their sausage Fest
When did biden ever give a shit about America. How real is the possibility of Martial Law when the sleeper cells in the USA go full postal? Given the policies of biden and Obama, it's amazing we haven't had a civil war or military coup.
A rock and a hard place. An example must be sent to your enemies, knowing you will be harshly condemned by your so called friends. So many layers of complexity that the best of a generation will pay for on all fronts.
I am a European of Jewish descent with family in Tel Aviv. My mother is an ex kibbutzim. The Ukraine war is totally different from Hamas's terrorist attack on Israel. The first is territorial, one country taking territory from another using conventional military forces. It is a near peer conflict. The other is not territorial, it is a terrorist attack targeting civilians using asymetric warfare. Ukraine receives western weapons with the prohibition of using them in Russian territory. When Ukraine attacks on Russian territory, it hits military objectives with little or no civilian casualties. Most of the fighting is happening in Ukraine, the civilian casualties are overwhelmingly Ukrainian. Ukraine tries to move it's civilian population far from a relatively static front lines. Israels conflit is not territorial (at the tactical level), it tries to strike back at Hamas in a very densely populated territory and it causes huge casualties to the civilian population. Hamas effectively uses the civilian population as a shield. It tunnels under the civilian infrastructure. Hamas wins the information war in this way and boost recruitment. I don't see any good options for Israel except carefully targeted operations over a long period of time to cause attrition to Hamas, not emotionally satisfying for most Israelis, but effective. The US cannot confront Iran directly because Iran can block the Straits of Hormuz, strangling 40% of global oil exports. This runs the risk of escalation. War is not very popular right now in the US to say the least, especially with an increasingly isolationist Republican party. Biden starting a war will mean the Republican far right wins the next election. Then it is game over for Ukraine, the conflict is frozen, Russia keeps it's gains and is seen to win. China sees that the US has no stomach for war and defending allies and might try to blockade Taiwan. The balance of global power shifts. Not good. In my opinion, I do not see what is morally wrong sending aid to the Palestinian civilians in Gaza. I also do not see how two million Palestinian civilians can move from the north to the south of Gaza. The place is already cramped, their previous experience tells them that if they move out of their homes, they will never recover them. And there are elderly, handicapped and sick people in IC units that cannot move. Then there is the optics of the West Bank. Israelis living in colonies in the West Bank have attacked Palestinian civilians going to a funeral. The IDF did not budge. This kind of attack has been happening on a regular basis. Not a good look. Also, in my opinion, mossad and tsahal (IDF) have been asleep at the wheel, Netanyahu has been in power too long (and marked by corruption) and the religious parties he is in a coalition with are completely taken over by ideology and not pragmatic people. A recipe for disaster.
Thank you for these insightful interviews; they offer perspectives on the conflict that I haven't found elsewhere. I highly recommend the conversations with Haviv Retting Gur, and Doron Keidar. As an American-Israeli with family residing in Israel. I appreciate the diverse insights shared. I thought I knew a fair amount about the subject, but your guests' articulate and informative discussions have expanded my understanding. I hope many people get the chance to watch and learn from these interviews. Growing up on a kibbutz in the '80s, my father had an Uzi in the kitchen and an M4 in his bedroom. He is in his 70's now and intends to apply for his gun license in Israel.
They spent years and over a billion dollars on the security fence with sensors, concrete etc and I think no-one even contemplated that it could be broken through as easily as it was. They definitely took Israel by surprise which will eventually need to be addressed of how it could have happened.
Yaakov I could not imagine sending my son to fight! I am a former US Marine that fought in Desert Storm. I’m sixty two years old now but I would be more than willing to go in his place if possible even though I have had a stroke. I will be praying for you and Israel! God bless you and 🇮🇱
Great interview! I'm a pacifist by nature, thought Israel was aggressive in their isolation of Gaza, which forced Hamas' reaction, but after this interview, I came to see that Israel needs to leverage this 'wake-up call' and deal with the threats on its borders...Great interview, Jack!
Just finished reading"Son of Hamas" incredible read by Mossab Hassan Yousef ..his father was the co-founder of Hamas & was an agent for Shinbet...explains the whole situation clearly.
I've seen a couple of his interviews. I tell you what the man has some Balls Is coming out against his father and his little creation. You know, our secret service is all over his every move. The palestinians needs to out HAMASS 😃 and put Yousef in there And he sounds like he might generally care about the palestinians. He knows what they want and what they need. I Don't know I just have a feeling it's gonna get really ugly here on the inside.🙏🇺🇲🇮🇱
I get the point about the difference in reaction between reaction to Ukraine and Israel, but I think you all were a little unfair to Ukraine. They have constantly had to deal with the west stressing that they should not escalate the conflict, should not strike Crimea, should not strike on Russian soil, can't have certain weapons because it might be a red line with the Kremlin, etc etc. Not passing judgement on the right or wrong of either situation, just an observation.
Correct. Also, Palestine is not a superpower like Russia is. And Israel has been pushing into Palestine for decades. Kinda seems like Israel is the Russia in this comparison. 🤷🏻♂️
It's a little different. With Ukraine, the west is concerned about how the west will look with Ukraine's use. Have we seen news articles blasting Ukraine for using cluster munitions because they are against the Geneva convention? Event though neither are signatories and Russia has already used them? THAT is the sort of thing Israel faces. Just look - they identify a Hamas location in a residential area, warn the public, attack the building and the report is of *civilian* damage with little to mention of Hamas except maybe in passing. While Hamas terrorists who *slaughtered* civilians were described as "militants"... It's sickening , blatant, and omnipresent.
I 100% condemn the actions of the terrorists on Oct 7 - my thoughts and prays to the families. However Jack, you forgot to ask a few important questions IMHO. 1. His opinion on the Apatite conditions the Palestinians live under? 2. The illegal occupation of settlements in the West Bank? Hope his daughter stays safe.
Hopefully, the US Constitution can be amended and the zfirdt Amendment rights of media be modified in a manner so they mo longer have a free ride without responsibility. Our media makes Joseph Goebels look progressive.
This is my opinion & hope for Israel & Palestine. The problem is how do you kill an ideology. Simple, by talking by bringing both sides together to hammer out a lasting peace for Israel and Palestine. My sympathy goes to both sides that are looking for a lasting peace. Slainte, Jack✌️❤
I am blessed living on an Island nation far far away from any immediate threat to our borders (New Zealand). I cant imagine the pain it must induce dropping my son off at a bus stop to go defend our country. We've never been bombed, invaded or have to worry about rockets dropping on us at any moment but you bet I'd put my uniform back on in an instant if my country was attacked like that and the call went out. So would most of the former soldiers I know, despite our grey beards.
Ah, but, once the Free Palestine brigade have had their way and get the united Ireland they demand, surely they’ll be on to repatriating Māoris, Aboriginal Australians and indigenous Americans?! Which will mean many of them giving up THEIR (occupier) hones, on their ‘stolen land’. Otherwise they are hypocrites, no?
Just a quick thought .. Over the years I’ve noted an over reliance on technology to a degrees that incapacities folks when a particular gadgets fail to operate correctly. Technology is great, but it’s imperative to understand and know how to do things in an analog fashion when things go wrong. Thank you very much for the interview.
Great interview. I'm still confused about why it took over 5 hours for them to respond. It gives the impression that the gov ignored it in order to have a reason to deal with Hamas .
This kinda reminds me of how The Bahamas government gave the stand down order to not stop the looting after Hurricane Dorian. Local law enforcement and foreign militaries were given the order " Don't interfere with looters." International news crews never showed the looting . The news can't be trusted. Jack should have pressed for an answer to that
@@amosweatherford249 why didn't they engage with the Militants? There's definitely something fishy, like they wanted casualtys so they could do what they're doing right now..Then take the strip into Israeli land, probably didn't expect many of the regular Gazzens to escape and create the tragic slaughter that occurred.
I think the comparison between Israel and Ukraine are a bit unfair. Some of it may be antisemitism, but I think it is largely because the Russian conflict is a traditional force on force military action, with Russia as the dominant aggressive force. Israel is not the aggressor, but they are by far the superior force. Also, they are not fighting a traditional enemy which leads to a large disruption of the civilian population. That said, I wish the IDF well. They cannot tolerate Gaza in its current form.
The attack was on a holiday. People were with families. Gaza had too much freedom. They failed badly. War is no answer but Hamas just ruined the future of any Palestinian that called themselves Palestinian from the holy land. The people in the village helped Palestinian children get medical aid. They were farmers. Hamas is sick.
Each individual soldier, whether overwatch or combat (and even trainees) operated above and beyond. Sig-int units were reporting the suspicious activity for months. There's even an officer that found the battle plans (not date, but procedures and instructions) months before. Her unit officer came to base right away to go with her to the chief of M.I., and he disregarded it. All the screw-ups were at the general staff level and so on. FYI, I'm an IDF reservist that was called up Oct 7 in the evening. And there's a lot of things that has come out in Israel that doesn't make it to the USA or other foreign countries.
When I went to Signal Officers Basic Course in ‘83 I was called in the HQ. 2 civilians were in the room and my Commander said I had extra duty. I was the sponsor of a Saudi Major and his family for 4 months. It turned out great however I asked them, why me? They said since was Greek American my ancestors were from the closest European country to Saudi Arabia. There you go! I told the Saudi Officer that and we had a great laugh about it.
I trained with an Egyptian and Tunisian officer in my Ordnance Officer Basic Course in 2014 (following the events of the Arab Spring)... that was definitely interesting. We also had an Albanian officer, you would have been a better fit there 😂
This is an excellent discussion. The IDF reflects Israeli society which has become very risk averse and is obsessed with the Air Force. Hamas used a classic combined arms approach to wreak havoc. You can’t brag how good we are and not have something to show for it. Did the idf mine the border with Gaza? No. Did the idf purposely underman the border? Yes. Did the idf take an incompetent amount of time to respond? Yes. Was the idf warned about this disaster? Yes. You cannot blame the standing army’s conscripts who do what they’re told. This is the fault of the general staff and the Netanyahu government. We all know this in Israël. But like Yakov said, first we must win the war and then deal with the reckoning later
Israel - after this brutal attack on this community’s residents and music festival attendees by Hamas - is forced to respond and it is logical it must react. However, and I believe this is why there is such sympathy for residents of Gaza is that these Palestinians are trapped in this area and an area fully dominated by Israel but fully manipulated by Hamas terrorists. This Gaza’s population is stuck “between a rock and a hard place” with almost no way out and my heart goes out to them as a stateless and trapped population. To world peoples watching this Israel has military power, backing of the U. S. but all the population of Gaza has is sadly…Hamas.

It is not true that the whole world supports Ukraine unequivocally and that nobody questions what Ukraine does and that nobody restrains how we fight back. Ukraine is getting spoon-fed arms supply, the capabilities that we needed at the beginning of the full scale invasion that could help us defeat russia faster and avoid casualties of our civilians and military, are still not on the horizon. Whatever we get comes with a restriction not to be used on the sovereign russian territory. But it is stunning that people who supported Ukraine blame Israel for defending themselves. Moral gymnastics on the display are jaw-dropping.
I live in jerusalem and have the same experience on that day, though my bomb shelter is off agrypus 2 blocks away so me and my wife and 2 dogs had to run.
Abd al-Malik (died 692 Muhammad died 632 AD) put out a coin with HIS LIKENESS, forbidden in Islam, so the Qur'an and Islam couldn't have been the Califate's religion. The genius of Malik is that he created a Caliphate government wrapped into a religion not based on a living person. Islam. So it outlived the empire. Islam in made to create an EMPIRE SINGULAR (GOD'S), DESTROY THE ENEMY the Christians and the scape goat Jews. Lucky Islam is built on a pile of sand because NOTING EXIST to document Muhammad UNTIL AFTER Abd al-Malik's death. Mecca the chosen home of Muhammad is chosen by a committee. In a desert because couldn't give favor to any Caliphate of the 8th century. No records of Mecca existence in the life time of Muhammad. Want to kill Islam need to convince Muslims of the FRAUD played upon them. Already Muslims are rejection Islam when they accept the fraud happened. Just too few of them because the truth has been prevented from reaching the masses.
Respect to both you men. I keep a close eye on the banning issues concerning firearms in civilian ownership regardless of if a particular state requires registration of the owner or the firearm. There seems to be a common denominator where these tendencies are being radically pursued in the western cultures and that in my opinion is the United Kingdom. I firmly believe that governments with close links to England are being influenced by powers in the UK to follow their lead in disarming the public. Look at trends in the common wealth countries , Aussie , New Zealand , Canada. It is extremely concerning. Now concerning Israel , why with its history has it adopted a policy where hardly any of the inhabiting citizens are allowed to keep and bare arms ? I hope the UK was not an influencer to adopt this policy and I hope Israel radically and speedily changes that policy with immediate effect. A great number of Israeli citizens would not have perished on Oct 7 , and a great number of those invaders would have been neutralized by civilians. Greetings from South Africa.
I have read back in the war against egypt they preemptively striked them when they were building up troops in Egypt with airstrikes and then sent in centurion tanks that they upgraded with the 105mm gun, cant remeber what they called the tank. Sho cal or something. The first war with egypt
Impartial meaning pro Hamas? It’s hard for so many to admit… We are dealing with one group that their sole purpose is to destroy the other (Hamas and Palestinian support) and then one side that wants to exist in peace…(but has learned the hard way- that by erring on the side of being less aggressive has always come back to bite them) But there has to be some other hidden agenda to this, right? Wrong.
@@mnowadmin5676 You are correct, Israel wants to finish the genocide that was started in 1947. Several Israel PM's have said as much, do you dispute that?
@@richcurren6888 your definition of “genocide” is a not an accurate one. Many emotions here- war is awful… But this war was brought upon by Hamas- Israel needs to end them.
Great conversations Jack. But What the actual F is with all the commercials? Can ya moderate that a little bit. Kinda hard to go from terrorists killing babies to, “buy milkshake ice cube trays” and then back. 5 times I had a native ad by you interrupted by RUclips ads. There are ads stepping on ads stepping on ads. Can ya dial it back on the ads please? At least the RUclips ads?
Yaakov, you may be squeamish about assigning the label of anti-Semitism to this war but I'll oblige. How can we otherwise explain the brain-deadness of seemingly moral people when it comes to Israel? It's as if historical facts disappear in the vapor of an irrational disdain for the Jews.
Antisemitism has definitely caused a great deal of brain rot in this world. Though we should never conflate the actions of the apartheid state of Israel with all Jews or even Israeli citizens. Hamas exposed its barbarity by butchering Innocent civilians.
The fact remains that you killed 10000, and they have killed 1400. In fact, 1400 is the number of Palestinians killed yearly in the west bank. You are occupying the west bank and gaza, and that is not me saying that UN and UNSC and all human rights groups. The attack on oct 7 was not a country vs. country but an Occupied country vs. a country And as long as you sugar coat, your actions, your security will never be achieved. President Harry truman said it best jews want all the land and palestinians want all of the land.
Well, Ukraine was invaded by the second strongest military in the world was was a few meters from being taken over completely, and Israel was, you know, attacked by 4,000 monsters, so there's that... God bless Ukraine and Israel.
What really happened is the same thing that happens to every successful society. They become lazy, liberal, soft, and complacent. They forgot about the malevolence that is always lurking outside.
It’s easy to support Ukraine because it’s obvious that Russia is the bad guy - it’s very clearcut. But with Israel you get decades of some very shady shit, a government bet on dictatorship who is also goading Hamas at every turn. So while what Hamas did is deplorable and inexcusable, and I do stand with Israel on the need to eliminate Hamas, it’s impossible for people to forget that Israel has gone out of its way since 2005 to make Gaza a hellhole (and succeeded). It did everything in its power to make Hamas stronger and nothing to undermine it. Israel should have been far more proactive in Gaza from a political stand point as soon as Hamas was elected (and it was not a landslide victory by the way, Hamas just killed the opposition and it became a dictatorship) but instead they convinced themselves that they could contain a terrorist organisation on its border and, in what can only be seen as hubris of mammoth proportions, convinced itself it was safe to settle its people on the border! The simple truth is Hamas would not be what it is today without Israel - to ignore its part in its existence is to repeat the errors of the past. Which looks likely. They will no doubt destroy Hamas but without tackling the reason it flourished in the first place Hamas 2.0 will rise in its place. The solution is as simple as it is impossible. Arab states recognise Israel and Palestine gains independence. And no amount of arguing or bloodshed will change that this is the solution. But no one wants accept reason and so we have what we have today in perpetuity. Israel is the victim of Hamas, but unlike Ukraine, it’s marked out the path that led to Oct 7.
Israel can't even civilly resolve its Judiciary issues without major domestic turbulence. Hamas’s attack has improved Israel's sense of political perspective. The history of the Holy Land since before the Roman conquest can answer many issues, but how many Americans have even a remote sense of that history and fractiouness embodied in that history. When was right or wrong, good or evil ever a factor for humans bent on conquest.
Israel removed every Jew from Gaza in 2005 and left all buildings for Palestinians. Left some small industrial sites and left infrastructure. Nearly immediately Hamas was elected and rockets started flying. So, israel restricted the inflow of goods because they need to be inspected. Then when they figured out that the amount of concrete and rebar flowing wasn’t being used to repair and build buildings but tunnels, then that was restricted. Then the rocket tech increased and the sea blockade was imposed. There’s no justification for rocket attacks. Matter of fact, they tried to reward Palestinians for good behavior. No rocket attacks/terror attacks and aid would increase substantially. Sadly, instead Hamas has focused on war. This is the 5th war since Gaza was freed from Jewish settlements and was given self rule.
Here's the deal: Psalm 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. The Lord has the final say in this !!!!
At least 2,704 children have been killed, according to Palestinian health officials, since Israel began its bombardment on Gaza in retaliation for Hamas’ terror attacks. Perhaps you don’t believe the numbers of Pakistan Heath Officials but I’d find it hard to believe that the number is too much lower given the intensity of the bombardment
Can you confirm the casualties? I understand 200 IDF, 200 children, upto 10 babies. Unknown number of active reservists. How many were killed during on oct 8 during IDF operations. I suspect we will never know. 40 beheaded babies is just to good a story.
My dad's mother is from the Bronx NYC, full blooded Israeli, and my daughter is 21 years old...I'm a registered nurse and ex-US-soldier....I can't imagine sending my daughter into combat... I have so much respect for this brother !!!!

Must have Yaakov back again. Thank you both for an interview that really informs us.
Thank you Jack for covering the story of Israel - Hamas since it began .. really you have been keeping us informed
Jack thank you so much for the great service you are providing and for your support of the state of Israel. Both are needed now more than ever.
$100 million to Palestinian crazies?

In my opinion, I do not see what is morally wrong sending aid to the Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
I also do not see how two million Palestinian civilians can move from the north to the south of Gaza. The place is already cramped, their previous experience tells them that if they move out of their homes, they will never recover them. And there are elderly, handicapped and sick people in IC units that cannot move.
Then there is the optics of the West Bank. Israelis living in colonies in the West Bank have attacked Palestinian civilians going to a funeral. The IDF did not budge. This kind of attack has been happening on a regular basis. Not a good look.

First time viewer and subscriber. Jack, thank you for your service. May God always bless you and your family.
I don't understand why Israeli citizens along the borders wouldn't be armed. Most served in the IDF so they are familiar with the service weapons.
Leftist influence on Israeli government
You are coreect.
They spent years and over a billion dollars on the security fence with sensors, concrete etc and I think no-one even contemplated that it could be broken through as easily as it was. They definitely took Israel by surprise which will eventually need to be addressed of how it could have happened.
The aren't armed because the IDF is there 100% of the time
It’s a rumor they collected firearms from that area not long ago.
They don’t own them like we Americans. It’s a loaner

I am blessed living on an Island nation far far away from any immediate threat to our borders (New Zealand).
I cant imagine the pain it must induce dropping my son off at a bus stop to go defend our country. We've never been bombed, invaded or have to worry about rockets dropping on us at any moment but you bet I'd put my uniform back on in an instant if my country was attacked like that and the call went out. So would most of the former soldiers I know, despite our grey beards.
Ah, but, once the Free Palestine brigade have had their way and get the united Ireland they demand, surely they’ll be on to repatriating Māoris, Aboriginal Australians and indigenous Americans?! Which will mean many of them giving up THEIR (occupier) hones, on their ‘stolen land’. Otherwise they are hypocrites, no?
Just a quick thought .. Over the years I’ve noted an over reliance on technology to a degrees that incapacities folks when a particular gadgets fail to operate correctly.
Technology is great, but it’s imperative to understand and know how to do things in an analog fashion when things go wrong.
Thank you very much for the interview.
That book was awesome
Great interview.
I'm still confused about why it took over 5 hours for them to respond.
It gives the impression that the gov ignored it in order to have a reason to deal with Hamas .
Exactly, I've been trying to find a timeline of events... There's something definitely not right of what's being reported..
And hilarious how they won’t look into it till after the war lol.
@rogerward9684
He said in this video that he knew before 9am .
Hundreds of people were sending phone calls / messages from the start .
This kinda reminds me of how The Bahamas government gave the stand down order to not stop the looting after Hurricane Dorian.
Local law enforcement and foreign militaries were given the order " Don't interfere with looters."
International news crews never showed the looting .
The news can't be trusted.
Jack should have pressed for an answer to that
@@amosweatherford249 why didn't they engage with the Militants? There's definitely something fishy, like they wanted casualtys so they could do what they're doing right now..Then take the strip into Israeli land, probably didn't expect many of the regular Gazzens to escape and create the tragic slaughter that occurred.
I think the comparison between Israel and Ukraine are a bit unfair. Some of it may be antisemitism, but I think it is largely because the Russian conflict is a traditional force on force military action, with Russia as the dominant aggressive force.
Israel is not the aggressor, but they are by far the superior force. Also, they are not fighting a traditional enemy which leads to a large disruption of the civilian population.
That said, I wish the IDF well. They cannot tolerate Gaza in its current form.
Great conversation!
Excellent!
Great interview, thanks
The attack was on a holiday. People were with families. Gaza had too much freedom. They failed badly. War is no answer but Hamas just ruined the future of any Palestinian that called themselves Palestinian from the holy land. The people in the village helped Palestinian children get medical aid. They were farmers. Hamas is sick.
Each individual soldier, whether overwatch or combat (and even trainees) operated above and beyond.
Sig-int units were reporting the suspicious activity for months.
There's even an officer that found the battle plans (not date, but procedures and instructions) months before.
Her unit officer came to base right away to go with her to the chief of M.I., and he disregarded it.
All the screw-ups were at the general staff level and so on.
FYI, I'm an IDF reservist that was called up Oct 7 in the evening.
And there's a lot of things that has come out in Israel that doesn't make it to the USA or other foreign countries.
When I went to Signal Officers Basic Course in ‘83 I was called in the HQ. 2 civilians were in the room and my Commander said I had extra duty. I was the sponsor of a Saudi Major and his family for 4 months. It turned out great however I asked them, why me? They said since was Greek American my ancestors were from the closest European country to Saudi Arabia. There you go! I told the Saudi Officer that and we had a great laugh about it.
I trained with an Egyptian and Tunisian officer in my Ordnance Officer Basic Course in 2014 (following the events of the Arab Spring)... that was definitely interesting.
We also had an Albanian officer, you would have been a better fit there 😂
This is an excellent discussion. The IDF reflects Israeli society which has become very risk averse and is obsessed with the Air Force. Hamas used a classic combined arms approach to wreak havoc. You can’t brag how good we are and not have something to show for it. Did the idf mine the border with Gaza? No. Did the idf purposely underman the border? Yes. Did the idf take an incompetent amount of time to respond? Yes. Was the idf warned about this disaster? Yes. You cannot blame the standing army’s conscripts who do what they’re told. This is the fault of the general staff and the Netanyahu government. We all know this in Israël. But like Yakov said, first we must win the war and then deal with the reckoning later
You don’t know what combined arms are.
Excellent discussion guys 👍
Israel - after this brutal attack on this community’s residents and music festival attendees by Hamas - is forced to respond and it is logical it must react. However, and I believe this is why there is such sympathy for residents of Gaza is that these Palestinians are trapped in this area and an area fully dominated by Israel but fully manipulated by Hamas terrorists. This Gaza’s population is stuck “between a rock and a hard place” with almost no way out and my heart goes out to them as a stateless and trapped population. To world peoples watching this Israel has military power, backing of the U. S. but all the population of Gaza has is sadly…Hamas.
Thanks!
American Vet and Father w/ 2 grown kids: I'm glad niether of my children are serving under this disgraceful administration. If they made a draft: I would make it my life mission to keep my kids in hiding.
What a coincidence. I just got lunch and brought it home and this starts at 3. Lucky day.
he sounds like a well spoken George W before middle east conflict, "eliminate", "kill them all", "destroy them"
I just bought the book on Amazon Audible, thanks for having him on Jack❤
It is not true that the whole world supports Ukraine unequivocally and that nobody questions what Ukraine does and that nobody restrains how we fight back. Ukraine is getting spoon-fed arms supply, the capabilities that we needed at the beginning of the full scale invasion that could help us defeat russia faster and avoid casualties of our civilians and military, are still not on the horizon. Whatever we get comes with a restriction not to be used on the sovereign russian territory.
But it is stunning that people who supported Ukraine blame Israel for defending themselves. Moral gymnastics on the display are jaw-dropping.
Great discussion. Also good might be 2 guests who have slightly different viewpoints in discussion...
I live in jerusalem and have the same experience on that day, though my bomb shelter is off agrypus 2 blocks away so me and my wife and 2 dogs had to run.
I totally agree with you
Abd al-Malik (died 692 Muhammad died 632 AD) put out a coin with HIS LIKENESS, forbidden in Islam, so the Qur'an and Islam couldn't have been the Califate's religion. The genius of Malik is that he created a Caliphate government wrapped into a religion not based on a living person. Islam. So it outlived the empire. Islam in made to create an EMPIRE SINGULAR (GOD'S), DESTROY THE ENEMY the Christians and the scape goat Jews.
Lucky Islam is built on a pile of sand because NOTING EXIST to document Muhammad UNTIL AFTER Abd al-Malik's death. Mecca the chosen home of Muhammad is chosen by a committee. In a desert because couldn't give favor to any Caliphate of the 8th century. No records of Mecca existence in the life time of Muhammad.
Want to kill Islam need to convince Muslims of the FRAUD played upon them. Already Muslims are rejection Islam when they accept the fraud happened. Just too few of them because the truth has been prevented from reaching the masses.
wow!! crazy!! good show!!
Really nice interview, Jack.
Israel needs to write the constitution of Gaza like in Japan.
Respect to both you men. I keep a close eye on the banning issues concerning firearms in civilian ownership regardless of if a particular state requires registration of the owner or the firearm. There seems to be a common denominator where these tendencies are being radically pursued in the western cultures and that in my opinion is the United Kingdom. I firmly believe that governments with close links to England are being influenced by powers in the UK to follow their lead in disarming the public. Look at trends in the common wealth countries , Aussie , New Zealand , Canada. It is extremely concerning. Now concerning Israel , why with its history has it adopted a policy where hardly any of the inhabiting citizens are allowed to keep and bare arms ? I hope the UK was not an influencer to adopt this policy and I hope Israel radically and speedily changes that policy with immediate effect. A great number of Israeli citizens would not have perished on Oct 7 , and a great number of those invaders would have been neutralized by civilians. Greetings from South Africa.
Iran? Takes a drink. Great call, Jack.
Really interesting conversation- will be subscribing.
Fantastic conversation
Thanks , Mr. Carr!
Wonder who had the greater minutes of talking in this interview, the guest or the interviewer?
Great video.
I have read back in the war against egypt they preemptively striked them when they were building up troops in Egypt with airstrikes and then sent in centurion tanks that they upgraded with the 105mm gun, cant remeber what they called the tank. Sho cal or something. The first war with egypt
Shot Kal, the Israeli version of the British Centurion
@snufkin7169 thanks just spelled It wrong. Lol
Just bought shadow strike. Thanks JC
Would like to see an impartial panelist.
Too late, this is now an IDF propaganda channel.
I thought Jack was a little more curious and objective than this, guess not.
Impartial meaning pro Hamas?
It’s hard for so many to admit…
We are dealing with one group that their sole purpose is to destroy the other (Hamas and Palestinian support) and then one side that wants to exist in peace…(but has learned the hard way- that by erring on the side of being less aggressive has always come back to bite them)
But there has to be some other hidden agenda to this, right?
Wrong.
@@mnowadmin5676 You are correct, Israel wants to finish the genocide that was started in 1947. Several Israel PM's have said as much, do you dispute that?
@@richcurren6888 your definition of “genocide” is a not an accurate one. Many emotions here- war is awful…
But this war was brought upon by Hamas- Israel needs to end them.
What about the rest of your questions ? when will they be asked? for follow-up interview is paramount… ❤️💪🇮🇱
Great conversations Jack. But What the actual F is with all the commercials? Can ya moderate that a little bit. Kinda hard to go from terrorists killing babies to, “buy milkshake ice cube trays” and then back.
5 times I had a native ad by you interrupted by RUclips ads. There are ads stepping on ads stepping on ads.
Can ya dial it back on the ads please? At least the RUclips ads?
Is it usual to have ads every 10 seconds sometimes?
Incidentally Cmdr, Eisenhower is going north after the suez.
Shalom
Yaakov, you may be squeamish about assigning the label of anti-Semitism to this war but I'll oblige. How can we otherwise explain the brain-deadness of seemingly moral people when it comes to Israel? It's as if historical facts disappear in the vapor of an irrational disdain for the Jews.
Antisemitism has definitely caused a great deal of brain rot in this world. Though we should never conflate the actions of the apartheid state of Israel with all Jews or even Israeli citizens. Hamas exposed its barbarity by butchering Innocent civilians.
Every Muslim state is more truly apartheid
Thank you from our heart, USA 💙
Wouldn't it be a good idea, at a time like this, to have a President who isn't in the advanced stages of senility?
That position has no power.
It’s Obummer that running the show.
not the frontlines???....everywhere is frontline in Israel
Always behind Israel. We'd all be facing the same issues if we were surrounded by muslims on all sides. 🇬🇧❤🇮🇱
OMG way too many ads.
Great movie which is based on actual events “Cast a Giant Shadow” Great story on Israel’s first year.
I heard a rumor there will be a second season of Terminal List?? Is that true? Hope so!!
The fact remains that you killed 10000, and they have killed 1400. In fact, 1400 is the number of Palestinians killed yearly in the west bank. You are occupying the west bank and gaza, and that is not me saying that UN and UNSC and all human rights groups. The attack on oct 7 was not a
country vs. country but an
Occupied country vs. a country
And as long as you sugar coat, your actions, your security will never be achieved. President Harry truman said it best jews want all the land and palestinians want all of the land.
Great show
Well, Ukraine was invaded by the second strongest military in the world was was a few meters from being taken over completely, and Israel was, you know, attacked by 4,000 monsters, so there's that... God bless Ukraine and Israel.
Great interview! Thank you!
What really happened is the same thing that happens to every successful society. They become lazy, liberal, soft, and complacent. They forgot about the malevolence that is always lurking outside.
It’s easy to support Ukraine because it’s obvious that Russia is the bad guy - it’s very clearcut. But with Israel you get decades of some very shady shit, a government bet on dictatorship who is also goading Hamas at every turn. So while what Hamas did is deplorable and inexcusable, and I do stand with Israel on the need to eliminate Hamas, it’s impossible for people to forget that Israel has gone out of its way since 2005 to make Gaza a hellhole (and succeeded). It did everything in its power to make Hamas stronger and nothing to undermine it. Israel should have been far more proactive in Gaza from a political stand point as soon as Hamas was elected (and it was not a landslide victory by the way, Hamas just killed the opposition and it became a dictatorship) but instead they convinced themselves that they could contain a terrorist organisation on its border and, in what can only be seen as hubris of mammoth proportions, convinced itself it was safe to settle its people on the border! The simple truth is Hamas would not be what it is today without Israel - to ignore its part in its existence is to repeat the errors of the past. Which looks likely. They will no doubt destroy Hamas but without tackling the reason it flourished in the first place Hamas 2.0 will rise in its place.
The solution is as simple as it is impossible. Arab states recognise Israel and Palestine gains independence. And no amount of arguing or bloodshed will change that this is the solution. But no one wants accept reason and so we have what we have today in perpetuity.
Israel is the victim of Hamas, but unlike Ukraine, it’s marked out the path that led to Oct 7.
Israel can't even civilly resolve its Judiciary issues without major domestic turbulence. Hamas’s attack has improved Israel's sense of political perspective.
The history of the Holy Land since before the Roman conquest can answer many issues, but how many Americans have even a remote sense of that history and fractiouness embodied in that history.
When was right or wrong, good or evil ever a factor for humans bent on conquest.
Thank you. I’m glad somebody in this group could cast this issue in a proper perspective.
Israel removed every Jew from Gaza in 2005 and left all buildings for Palestinians. Left some small industrial sites and left infrastructure. Nearly immediately Hamas was elected and rockets started flying. So, israel restricted the inflow of goods because they need to be inspected. Then when they figured out that the amount of concrete and rebar flowing wasn’t being used to repair and build buildings but tunnels, then that was restricted. Then the rocket tech increased and the sea blockade was imposed.
There’s no justification for rocket attacks.
Matter of fact, they tried to reward Palestinians for good behavior. No rocket attacks/terror attacks and aid would increase substantially. Sadly, instead Hamas has focused on war. This is the 5th war since Gaza was freed from Jewish settlements and was given self rule.
I love Israel.
Here's the deal: Psalm 23:5
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
The Lord has the final say in this !!!!
At least 2,704 children have been killed, according to Palestinian health officials, since Israel began its bombardment on Gaza in retaliation for Hamas’ terror attacks.
Perhaps you don’t believe the numbers of Pakistan Heath Officials but I’d find it hard to believe that the number is too much lower given the intensity of the bombardment
They knew !!! Everyone knew and some Trojan horses made it possible!!!
5 hours of inaction by the IDF? Come on it don't take 5 hours to put a pair of boots on..
Can you confirm the casualties? I understand 200 IDF, 200 children, upto 10 babies. Unknown number of active reservists. How many were killed during on oct 8 during IDF operations. I suspect we will never know. 40 beheaded babies is just to good a story.
Why not have Gabor Maté on for another perspective?
Which country was the ruthless, terrorist organization that he mentioned?
Based Jack Carr is Based.
Another word for opportunity: pretext.
