Is it possible that this was intentional in order for Israel to justify a war? Horrific as this has been the Israel Palestine conflict has been a horrific one going on since WWII, somethign which the US is, in no small part, to blame for. and horrific as it has been for the Jewish community, Palestinians have been oppressed by Israel ever since, something which the international community has failed to hold Israel accountable for, and which has resulted in back-and-forth retaliation. Could this attack have been something that was known by the Israel government, as a way to justify full military operation against Palestine in an attempt to eradicate Palestine?
Let's be clear 1. I don't support Hamas attacking innocent civilians to achieve its political goals. 2. I don't support the colonizing of Palestine's territory through military conflict. With each military engagement Israel seizes more and more of Palestine's land. Look at the maps of 1917-2020. It's clear to me Israel is treating the Palestinians like America treated the native Americans. There's a reason why they don't have a two state solutions because Israel wants it all... Israel is trying to push the Palestinians into Jordan and Lebanon with every new conflict. The writing is on the wall. Israel's biggest mistake was letting Netanyahu come back to power
It’s nice to hear a frank discussion between two informed, knowledgeable people who want to see a peaceful path forward but understand the intricacies and the difficulty of the path ahead.
Ya, but unfortunately any discussion around the realities of Israel-Palestine means people trying to talk honestly about anything approaching an idea for a solution will be shouted down as the worst anti-semites/most anti-Palestinian/most anti-Muslim individuals in history. It's the most toxic possible foreign policy discussion, ever, at least in the West, because the ground-level blind rage and bloodlust of both sides has now seeped into so many people well beyond Israel's borders. IMO at this point the world has a fair enough idea what a solution for a potentially workable peace should look like; it's on the international community to fix it. No pundit here or anywhere will be able to stop the extreme violence nor extricate the religious beliefs that incessantly inflame this decades-long conflict every few years.
Yes. So good to see a discussion between more informed people. There have been terrorist acts on both sides. Innocent people have lost their lives or brutalized in Israel and Palestine. There needs to be 2 States recognized for peace to ever happen. Josh Hawley is a coward and a jerk. For some reason he has been siding with Russia against Ukraine and blaming Biden for all types of tragedies, insane!
Netanyahu let it happen after ignoring Egypts warnings. I think he wanted an excuse to go to war and react disproportionately. Both him and Hamas terrorists need to go.
I must say, this has been the most well-balanced interview I have seen since the tragic events of last weekend in Israel/Palestine. Thank you. A Pentagon spokesman today seems to imply a reduction of financial support for Ukraine! I hope this isn't true. A 🏴 living in 🇮🇪
Elephants, Beware DeFunding Eukrine, is Not an Option!!!!! Americans Will NOT Tolerate That kind of destruction of DEMOCRACY!!!!! Keep this up and you All will be thrown out on the Bricks of Pennsylvania Avenue!!!! Think That!!! Over.
Yep. The women, children and civilians of Gaza deserve so much better then these Hamas lunatics, who keep instigating this shit. People of Gaza, haven't you had enough? Do you still want Hamas running the show in Gaza? If there is a Gaza when this is all over, that is. SMH.
ALL BECAUSE OF MEN! ALWAYS MEN! IN 1948 THE UK MADE THIS MESS & MUST HELP THE INNOCENTS OF PALESTINE THAT THEY BANISHED TO A SMALL STRIP OF LAND & ISREAL DOLING OUT NECESSITIES OF LIFE. ISREAL MUST BE PROTECTED FROM HAMAS AS WELL AS PALISTINE!
Brian never fails!!! Brian needs a daily news show on a major station so more people can be reached, including news shows so they can see how news should be delivered.
Brian has 2.32 million subscribers. If he went to CNN, MSNBC. CBS, NBC, etc., he would not be able to choose what he covers and how he presents objective news. He is currently appearing some on MSNBC. His channel is growing faster than Meidas Touch, Young Turks, Christo Aivalis, and others. I appreciate his honesty and integrity, and he has strong guests, and co-stars like Glen and Marc.
Lucas Kunce would be an outstanding Senator for Missouri! He is from a working class family, continues to serve in the military, has served at the Pentagon, and is an attorney. He went to Yale on an academic scholarship, received his JD from the University of Missouri, and his LLM from Columbia University. He wants to serve the people of Missouri--NOT his personal ego and thirst for power!

As the granddaughter of a holocaust survivor I have to say that was a brilliant and courageous analysis of the situation. As we have seen in Northern Ireland the only way to stop the violence was through dialogue and now after the stupid government forced through Brexit peace is still on a knife edge. When will the violence stop. All this senseless killing, torture and hate. It only produces more of the kind. I find impossible to understand.
How nice to see this interview with well informed opinions, who don’t equate Hamas with all of Palestine and who also look critical at Israel. This didn’t start last weekend and everything that happened in the past makes is so much more difficult to come to a peaceful solution.
Yeah but to hear Trump speak everything is Biden and the Democrats fault while saying at the same time if he were in office it would not have happened. The same for Ukraine and Russia. Just ridiculous the things this guy says.
Just keep thinking with Hillary's State Dept. Experience, and the dementia shape Obama left Trump with Geopolitically, the world would have been a much safer place. The Stolen Documents is still a concern.
He doesn't give a crap about Israel or Ukraine. He just knows that conservatives fawn over Israel for weird reasons and are pro-Putin for different but equally real reasons so are reflexively anti-Ukraine.

Hamas is the elected government in Gaza. They are not in Power in the West Bank. None of this has anything to do with The West Bank. The two shouldn’t be conflated. Twenty percent of the population of Israel is Palestinians. Where they have the same rights as any other citizen and live in peace. To say Hamas doesn’t represent the Palestinians in Gaza is false.

Josh (Hallway Running) Hawley. The man whom helped ignite the fire on January 6th and then ran like his gonads fell off, writes a book about what it takes to be a “man”. You can’t possibly make this stuff up!!
I was a little skeptical of your guest, and seeming as you typically are more supportive of the Democratic establishment than other liberal hosts, I got to say I was worried. But your guest spoke clearly, succinctly and with a truth that the Democratic and Israel lobby and supporters hate hearing. So kudos to you my friend! If this problem is ever going to be solved it’s with truthful insights such as those that were shared here.
I worry about that too. I can't remember what year it was, but for some reason I vaguely remember Trump saying he was going to just give Israel the West Bank and be done with it but people were like "ARE YOU *** CRAZY?" and reminded him he doesn't have the authority for that anyway since it's not our territory. But given all of his and his family's other activity in the region (some we don't even know about yet) I can't help but wonder what kind of behind the scenes negotiating happened. And after the first impeachment where it was shown he had no problem going around proper channels and sending unauthorized people to negotiate without ambassadors knowing (not that we've had an ambassador in this situation for some time) who knows what all has happened behind the scenes 😰
@mal2ksc US law recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995. While it gave the sitting president the ability to postpone implementation, effectively the US recognized that Jerusalem is the capital. I do not believe that #45 allowed the move for any reason other than pandering to his base.
Not as much as sharing Israeli intelligence with Russian ambassador. Russia is friends with Iran and Iran supports all those terrorist groups. So , yeah.
Thank you for explaining the big picture of the Palestine Israel conflict. I have spent many hour trying to explain the history of the conflict. I am of Jewish and Ukranian descent. I spend so much time explaining both conflicts trying to dispell the misinformation about both conflicts.
Punishing innocent Palestinians for the atrocities of Hamas is a morally wrong response, It is a childhood lesson. Two wrongs do not make a right. Anyone with a heart grieves for Israel's victims, but the murder of innocent women and children in Gaza is equally horrific.
Hamss is not the same as Palestinian citizens. 2 wrongs don't make a right. To withhold food, water, and power is inhumane. Remember BB made a deal with Trump. Understand that leadership doesn't represent the people.
It's actually a war crime to bomb civilian areas & withhold food, water & power. But Israel will NEVER be charged for any of their many war crimes & crimes against humanity they perpetrated against Palestine & Palestinians.
Republicans LOVE Netanyahu. He dodged criminal prosecution by getting elected, and he's trying to turn Israel into a fundamentalist ethnostate where brown people are ethnically cleansed or put in the basement caste of society.
Hey Dingus, The EU and Israel gave them money for new sewers and water systems but Hamas stole it. Israel also gave them new pipes for new water, but Hamas used them to fabricate rocket launchers. The only inhumane ones here are the POS known as Hamas. Get your facts straight goof.
They are not related Hamas is a terrorist organization Palestinians are a people who share a geographic homeland with Israel. They have been at odds for generations. Somehow the fighting factions in the US House Republicans remind me of the middle east. Important point, you can't govern by press release. Never forget Trump is Stupid Josh is stupid and an embarrassing to his party
🎵Brave Sir Hawley ran away(NO!) Bravely ran away away(I didn't.) When danger reared it's ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled(No!) Yes, Brave Sir Hawley turned about(I didn't!)and gallantly he chickened out Bravely taking to his feet(I never did!), he beat a very brave retreat(All lies!) Bravest of the brave, Sir Hawley🎵(I NEVER!)
Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) are segregated into separate enclaves, with those living in the Gaza Strip isolated from the rest of the world through Israel's illegal blockade, which has caused a humanitarian crisis and is a form of collective punishment.
In Gaza, the average age is 18, so half of their 2 million people are under the age of 18. The last election was 2008, so basically everyone under the age of 30 has never had a political say. That’s like 2/3rds the entire population. All those people were born in a prison and lived their entire lives in prison despite having never committed a crime.
I wish the Palestinians had more support they have been treated horrifically. Even now Israel is again committing war crime cutting water & power to Gaza & no one holds them to account. There is terrorism on both sides & civilians caught in between.
I hope Antony Blinkin is successful in negotiating with Netanyahu and other leaders in the region to do whatever they can to protect the innocent Palestinians in Gaza. They have been used as pawns and now human shields by Hamas. Immense pressure must be put on those supporting Hamas and Hezbolah. Netanyahu is a menace and while I know the U.S. needs to support Israel but I think Netanyahu is corrupt and can’t be trusted.
But of course! Bringing 13 dead soldiers, 2 wars, financial support to Iran, inflation, high interest rates, decimation of retirement plans etc to us and the world. 😡
At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that thousands of innocent civilians on both sides are going to suffer the most. Leaders from both sides don't actually care about this and that's what really sucks about this whole thing.
Omg... "Palestinian territories, territories occupied by Israel since 1967, namely the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip" Finally looked up Palestine and got that little brief. But I don't agree with the killing of babies in their homes, and all the other intentional brutality. Very sad all over the damn place. My heart goes out to the victims on BOTH sides. It's not the children's fault after all. 🙏💔🤬
No the problem is had he gone into Gaza preemptively he would have been crucified Kindly look up the 1967 Arab (Egypt) Israeli war This is the same thing in reverse
Brian, you are one of the very few champions supporting nuanced discussion on complex issues in our current reactive, dumbed down 'binary' media world. Your interview format - asking logical, sequential, in-depth questions and eliciting clarifying answers from people with deep, wide-ranging knowledge - is possibly the most effective of any media channel active today. I especially appreciate your regular conversations with Tommy, and with Marc.
Tommy - The people establishing Jewish communities on the West Bank are not settlers. They are colonists. Invaders. The term "settler" seems quite benign, but they are illegally occupying land that belongs to others. Of course, this does not justify the actions of Hamas, but as you know, language is important and calling them "settler communities" falls into Netanyahu's linguistic-political trap.
The "settlers" are taking Palestinian land that Palestinian people are actively living on. In the process the Israelis kill Palestinians to take the land.
Israeli* communities. Contrary to popular belief, not ALL Israeli citizens are Jewish (a lot of them are even atheists). But yes, I agree that they should live up to their own land treaties.
What people have no control over their Air, Water, Food, Electricity, Land? They have no airport. They have no fuel. Their hospitals cannot treat their civilians impacted by this. Isn't that the actual definition of a prisoner based on ethnicity or religion?
I wasn't aware of the Israelis restricting the Palestinians in Gaza by not letting them travel freely , farm their own land and have a wall separating them , plus fencing and barbed wire. They are treated badly too. This needs to be changed in order to have peace. 20 years ago it was a thriving marketplace and now like a prison.Really sad.
Israel is about to commit mass genocide. No matter where you fall on this conflict, millions of innocent people do not deserve to die for the actions of Hamas. The UN and the rest of the global community needs to step in ASAP, the complete disregard for Palestinian lives is disgusting.
I've heard that Hamas started the attack with 2500-5000 unguided rockets into Israel, is the Global community going to step in on this ? There are reports that infants and todlers have been decapitated by Hamas, is the Global community going to step in on this ? The original refegees that went into Gaza 30+ years ago should be moved into the Arab regions in the Middle East and a negotiation into reparations should begin.
@@brianmacadam4793I watched a documentary from 80s the day this happened. I remembered what happened at Sabra & Shatila in Lebanon. Same thing happened. It' was stated that besides the Jordanians, the other Arab countries wouldn't take them because of the PLO. Who destroyed Lebanon and has been under jihad siege since. Seems they'd preffer to fight it out. The non religious world is tired of dealing with this. Very sad for both sides. IUkraine may at least have chance of peace. Middle East????
@@brianmacadam4793 Yeah, the reports of toddlers being decapitated has already been debunked, including by the Israeli soldier who initially made the claim. How many Israelis have died though? Let's go with a high estimate of 2,000. Does that mean Israel gets to kill 2 MILLION innocent trapped Palestinians on the Gaza strip in retaliation? Come on man, this is a false equivalency and you know it. Israel is about to take the Holocaust trauma out on a ton of innocent people who literally have nowhere to go.
Very thoughtful converation, the longstanding conflict as well as the current ground situation are consilely described without any offense or insensibility. Thank you both very much for that. This kind of coverage is extremely valuable and important.
Nothing stupider than taking support away from one active area to send all to one place, just leave Ukraine wide open... way too convenient for Russia.
I have been hearing about conflict in Israel and the Gaza strip as long as I can remember. At least back to the 70s, possibly the 60's. This is a conflict that has gone on forever. I don't think it will ever be solved.
Regardless of what you think of the tragic events, the obvious fact is that --- Netanyahu is standing there and watching his butlers (U.S. Officials) express gratitude for being his servant..!!!..Before this event, Netanyahu was using bulldozers to destroy Palestinian homes one at a time. But now, he can destroy the entire Palestinian territory, and annex the entire area.
A great program, we must continue to push for 2 state solution. We can support Israel and everyday Palestinian, that just want to raise their families and both sides want peace. We must continue to support Ukraine, they are an independent country acted . Without NATO Russia will overrun a democracy.
He's just like trump. Both are from the same mold. In this case, though, Bibi was trying to make a peace deal with Saudi Arabia that would have benefited the Palestinian people.
Brian, one question. Why won't any Arab government stand up fo the Palestinians? Obviously they don't care about the Palestinians,. You need to study real history
Must admit that was very well balanced. Supporting Israel rights to fight back and call them out not to commit war crimes. Gave a good context of the troubles and not black and white, but grey as well. Biden should be calling for restraint on cutting of essential services to Gaza. Only last week, we condemned Russia for hitting Ukrainian infrastructure. We should also call out Israel if they doing this or planning to do this.

Leave it to the republicans to be on the wrong side of this
No surprise there!.
Always.
I swear republicans are contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.
when are they on the right side ? besides "in name only"
Not shocked
Tommy, thank you for voicing concern for the Palestinian people and their plight for existence.

I was a little skeptical of your guest, and seeming as you typically are more supportive of the Democratic establishment than other liberal hosts, I got to say I was worried. But your guest spoke clearly, succinctly and with a truth that the Democratic and Israel lobby and supporters hate hearing. So kudos to you my friend! If this problem is ever going to be solved it’s with truthful insights such as those that were shared here.
Do any of the theories about intelligence failures factor in what Trump may have inadvertently shared with everybody while in the Whitehouse
I worry about that too. I can't remember what year it was, but for some reason I vaguely remember Trump saying he was going to just give Israel the West Bank and be done with it but people were like "ARE YOU *** CRAZY?" and reminded him he doesn't have the authority for that anyway since it's not our territory. But given all of his and his family's other activity in the region (some we don't even know about yet) I can't help but wonder what kind of behind the scenes negotiating happened. And after the first impeachment where it was shown he had no problem going around proper channels and sending unauthorized people to negotiate without ambassadors knowing (not that we've had an ambassador in this situation for some time) who knows what all has happened behind the scenes 😰
Extremely plausible. Especially if he brings it up in rallies. All about him, go Jack Smith, hurry.
@@KahtisemoJVANKAS latest, Oman.
Exactly 💯
Just follow All of His Incoming Money, the Truth,Will Out!!!!
How much damage did Trump do by moving the US embassy to Jerusalem?
That may have been a shock to Palestinians as it was to me, but since the former WH occupant doesn't respect anyone outside his family, who cares? Smh
Trump did a lot of damage. US military and intelligence were really worried when he did the move.
None. Jerusalem is Israel’s capital. It did not effectively change the situation.
@mal2ksc US law recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995. While it gave the sitting president the ability to postpone implementation, effectively the US recognized that Jerusalem is the capital. I do not believe that #45 allowed the move for any reason other than pandering to his base.
Not as much as sharing Israeli intelligence with Russian ambassador. Russia is friends with Iran and Iran supports all those terrorist groups. So , yeah.
Thank you for explaining the big picture of the Palestine Israel conflict. I have spent many hour trying to explain the history of the conflict. I am of Jewish and Ukranian descent. I spend so much time explaining both conflicts trying to dispell the misinformation about both conflicts.
Praying for the people of Israel and Palestine.
🙏🏼🙏🏼⚖️🙏🏼🙏🏼
This interview of Tommy Vietor was excellent. Thank you so much, Brian!
This was a very fair, nuances, excellent conversation. Thank you!
Punishing innocent Palestinians for the atrocities of Hamas is a morally wrong response, It is a childhood lesson. Two wrongs do not make a right. Anyone with a heart grieves for Israel's victims, but the murder of innocent women and children in Gaza is equally horrific.
They are not innocent. They celebrate terrorism wherever it happens, like 9/11. They are followers of the most hateful false religion ever.
And That's the Human Truth!!!!!
Exactly---follow the law and find the perps and put them in jail and try them---
Thank you so much for covering the desperate plight of Palestinians. I'm not anti-Semitic, i want the best for both peoples.
Religion and politics NEVER mix well.
It’s not antisemitic to be anti-Israel. Israel is a government that doesn’t speak for all the Israeli people.
Thank you Mr. Cohen for the informative interview with Mr. Vietor.
Really excellent synopsis thank you for providing this information!!!
Hamss is not the same as Palestinian citizens.
2 wrongs don't make a right. To withhold food, water, and power is inhumane.
Remember BB made a deal with Trump.
Understand that leadership doesn't represent the people.
It's actually a war crime to bomb civilian areas & withhold food, water & power. But Israel will NEVER be charged for any of their many war crimes & crimes against humanity they perpetrated against Palestine & Palestinians.
Republicans LOVE Netanyahu. He dodged criminal prosecution by getting elected, and he's trying to turn Israel into a fundamentalist ethnostate where brown people are ethnically cleansed or put in the basement caste of society.
An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.
Hey Dingus, The EU and Israel gave them money for new sewers and water systems but Hamas stole it. Israel also gave them new pipes for new water, but Hamas used them to fabricate rocket launchers. The only inhumane ones here are the POS known as Hamas. Get your facts straight goof.
They are not related
Hamas is a terrorist organization
Palestinians are a people who share a geographic homeland with Israel. They have been at odds for generations.
Somehow the fighting factions in the US House Republicans remind me of the middle east. Important point, you can't govern by press release. Never forget Trump is Stupid
Josh is stupid and an embarrassing to his party
Wow….
I see why he had him as his spokesperson;
Nice job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
🎵Brave Sir Hawley ran away(NO!)
Bravely ran away away(I didn't.)

Yes, Brave Sir Hawley turned about(I didn't!)and gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet(I never did!), he beat a very brave retreat(All lies!)
Bravest of the brave, Sir Hawley🎵(I NEVER!)
Some how I can’t help but feel that Trump sharing information had something to do with this.
I'm sure Trump shared Israel information has a lot to do with attacked on Israel. Trump will have blood on his hands.
Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) are segregated into separate enclaves, with those living in the Gaza Strip isolated from the rest of the world through Israel's illegal blockade, which has caused a humanitarian crisis and is a form of collective punishment.
Brian, your guest was nicely balanced, seeing both sides very clearly. 👍
In Gaza, the average age is 18, so half of their 2 million people are under the age of 18. The last election was 2008, so basically everyone under the age of 30 has never had a political say. That’s like 2/3rds the entire population.
All those people were born in a prison and lived their entire lives in prison despite having never committed a crime.
Heart breaking.
Truthful.
🇵🇸❤🇮🇱
I wish the Palestinians had more support they have been treated horrifically. Even now Israel is again committing war crime cutting water & power to Gaza & no one holds them to account. There is terrorism on both sides & civilians caught in between.
The people in Gaza are innocents who are used as human shields by Hamas. They have no say.
Now Israel is barricading. So all of these 1 million children will have no water, no food, no electricity, and no escape.
Well said.
I hope Antony Blinkin is successful in negotiating with Netanyahu and other leaders in the region to do whatever they can to protect the innocent Palestinians in Gaza. They have been used as pawns and now human shields by Hamas. Immense pressure must be put on those supporting Hamas and Hezbolah. Netanyahu is a menace and while I know the U.S. needs to support Israel but I think Netanyahu is corrupt and can’t be trusted.
I DON'T TRUST ANY POLITICIAN...
@@user-anndalby - So you want anarchy?
Tommy Vietor never fails to deliver well thought out and knowledgeable analysis - love his podcast on international news!

But wouldn't he have to be a Republican?
All for it. Is he old enough tho?
@@jajupa78 I thought the age thing was for POTUS and VP?
Picture if that happened to you in your home. It is truly horrific.
Thank you Brian. This is the best interview I've seen. This man is on point as are your questions
Thank for presenting a calm, intelligent discussion.
I love when Tommy Vietor is on . He is always informative & so well spoken.
Brilliant, informative, factual. level headed analysis … THANK YOU!
Thank God for President Biden.
Agree 😊💙🇺🇸🙏
He is directly responsible for this. Biden can suk azz.
Thank God it's not tRump.
Anyone but Trump.
But of course! Bringing 13 dead soldiers, 2 wars, financial support to Iran, inflation, high interest rates, decimation of retirement plans etc to us and the world. 😡
At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that thousands of innocent civilians on both sides are going to suffer the most. Leaders from both sides don't actually care about this and that's what really sucks about this whole thing.
Excellent post!
Thank so much for keeping us on the loop and this important issue , that affects us and gives a perspective of the situation
This guy needs to run for a high office.
My heart is broken💔
So different from last decade of just missiles.
Like a Wagner or Pirghoshin type onslaught. Brutal.
Agreed
And the people who just want to live in peace will suffer. It's the farmer's fields and family that suffer when the war is fought upon them.
That, BTW, is how the rich plantation owners recruited the common people.
Tommy Vietor Rocks!
Pod Save America!
Are you getting Pod Save America, since about when Tiabi left, mine isn't recent/current❓
Excellent discussion you guys. Agree completely with you both. Explains the situation perfectly.👍
Netanyahu has much to answer for.
does he? i thought he just has to do as he is told or go to jail.
Omg...
"Palestinian territories, territories occupied by Israel since 1967, namely the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip"
Finally looked up Palestine and got that little brief. But I don't agree with the killing of babies in their homes, and all the other intentional brutality.
Very sad all over the damn place. My heart goes out to the victims on BOTH sides. It's not the children's fault after all. 🙏💔🤬
Benjamin Netanyahu allowed it to happen. People rally around heros. Like America did Bush Sept 11th. Benjamin is donald trump of Israel
And your pathetic with your outlandish comment.
Well, they are both attacking their judicial branch in an attempt to get out from under corruption charges. That seems similar.
Exactly!
Are you saying that Bush is a hero?
No the problem is had he gone into Gaza preemptively he would have been crucified
Kindly look up the 1967 Arab (Egypt) Israeli war
This is the same thing in reverse
Brian, you are one of the very few champions supporting nuanced discussion on complex issues in our current reactive, dumbed down 'binary' media world. Your interview format - asking logical, sequential, in-depth questions and eliciting clarifying answers from people with deep, wide-ranging knowledge - is possibly the most effective of any media channel active today. I especially appreciate your regular conversations with Tommy, and with Marc.
I love Brian and Glenn Kirschner too
@@susiepoadster4642 I should have mentioned Glen too! Brian has top quality contributors and gets the most from his time with them.
May all people live in Peace. Bring comfort to all those who have suffered the death of their loved ones. God save us from ourselves.
May all people "strive" to live in Peace. for that to happen Jews, christians and muslims must give up this religious nonsense and their feuds.
👍🫶🙏✌️
By far the most balanced, nuanced and sane discussion of the situation in Israel I’ve heard yet. Thank you!
Very balanced, most of these comments are from lefties 👍.
Excellent discussion of the facts of the war and all the circumstances that led to it!
Tommy - The people establishing Jewish communities on the West Bank are not settlers. They are colonists. Invaders. The term "settler" seems quite benign, but they are illegally occupying land that belongs to others. Of course, this does not justify the actions of Hamas, but as you know, language is important and calling them "settler communities" falls into Netanyahu's linguistic-political trap.
❤
TRUE THAT
Well said.
Words matter, such as Reagan’s lie, “Peace through Strength.”
The "settlers" are taking Palestinian land that Palestinian people are actively living on. In the process the Israelis kill Palestinians to take the land.
Israeli* communities. Contrary to popular belief, not ALL Israeli citizens are Jewish (a lot of them are even atheists). But yes, I agree that they should live up to their own land treaties.
What people have no control over their Air, Water, Food, Electricity, Land? They have no airport. They have no fuel. Their hospitals cannot treat their civilians impacted by this.
Isn't that the actual definition of a prisoner based on ethnicity or religion?
I wasn't aware of the Israelis restricting the Palestinians in Gaza by not letting them travel freely , farm their own land and have a wall separating them , plus fencing and barbed wire. They are treated badly too. This needs to be changed in order to have peace. 20 years ago it was a thriving marketplace and now like a prison.Really sad.
Correct 100%
Israel is an apartheid state.
Israel is about to commit mass genocide. No matter where you fall on this conflict, millions of innocent people do not deserve to die for the actions of Hamas. The UN and the rest of the global community needs to step in ASAP, the complete disregard for Palestinian lives is disgusting.
will they haven't done anything about it for decades I don't know what makes you think they're going to start now.
I've heard that Hamas started the attack with 2500-5000 unguided rockets into Israel, is the Global community going to step in on this ? There are reports that infants and todlers have been decapitated by Hamas, is the Global community going to step in on this ? The original refegees that went into Gaza 30+ years ago should be moved into the Arab regions in the Middle East and a negotiation into reparations should begin.
THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY HAS "STEPPED IN ON THIS".... PAY ATTENTION GOOFBALLt
@@brianmacadam4793I watched a documentary from 80s the day this happened.
I remembered what happened at Sabra & Shatila in Lebanon. Same thing happened.
It' was stated that besides the Jordanians, the other Arab countries wouldn't take them because of the PLO.
Who destroyed Lebanon and has been under jihad siege since.
Seems they'd preffer to fight it out. The non religious world is tired of dealing with this.
Very sad for both sides.
IUkraine may at least have chance of peace.
Middle East????
@@brianmacadam4793 Yeah, the reports of toddlers being decapitated has already been debunked, including by the Israeli soldier who initially made the claim. How many Israelis have died though? Let's go with a high estimate of 2,000. Does that mean Israel gets to kill 2 MILLION innocent trapped Palestinians on the Gaza strip in retaliation? Come on man, this is a false equivalency and you know it. Israel is about to take the Holocaust trauma out on a ton of innocent people who literally have nowhere to go.
Very thoughtful converation, the longstanding conflict as well as the current ground situation are consilely described without any offense or insensibility.
Thank you both very much for that.
This kind of coverage is extremely valuable and important.
You both spoke with clarity, facts and did an excellent job breaking it all down.
Nothing stupider than taking support away from one active area to send all to one place, just leave Ukraine wide open... way too convenient for Russia.
We don’t have to move anything from Ukraine. There are at least 4 warehouses with military facilities in Israel already. They just need our keys.
@@rhondanewell8558why do we need to give them weapons? They have the strongest military in the area.
This is a productive conversation. Thank you Brian.
I have been hearing about conflict in Israel and the Gaza strip as long as I can remember. At least back to the 70s, possibly the 60's. This is a conflict that has gone on forever. I don't think it will ever be solved.
Thank you for this interview. I really love seeing both of you team up (especially for Liberal Tears - a fav!)
Thank you for the balanced and more nuanced discussion of the events in Israel and Gaza!!
"I alone can fix this"... send tRUMP in and it will all be better. Yeah, right!
Would not have happened under Trump but nice try cupcake.
@@Acccountable Lmao!
Please see cultrecovery101
Regardless of what you think of the tragic events, the obvious fact is that --- Netanyahu is standing there and watching his butlers (U.S. Officials) express gratitude for being his servant..!!!..Before this event, Netanyahu was using bulldozers to destroy Palestinian homes one at a time. But now, he can destroy the entire Palestinian territory, and annex the entire area.
Yes...Lebanon and Egypt (along with Syria and Saudi, Oman et.al) will be affected, eventually. Biden's experience is invaluable.
A great program, we must continue to push for 2 state solution. We can support Israel and everyday Palestinian, that just want to raise their families and both sides want peace. We must continue to support Ukraine, they are an independent country acted . Without NATO Russia will overrun a democracy.
Thank you for the intelligent and informative discussion. I appreciate the work you both do. I love intelligent conversations.
More of this guy please. Smart and fair.
Netanyahu should never have been released from prison.
He's just like trump. Both are from the same mold. In this case, though, Bibi was trying to make a peace deal with Saudi Arabia that would have benefited the Palestinian people.
Can we get Bebe and Hair Furor the Honeymoon Suite in The Hague ?
Another Trump
But he was and we have to deal with it.
Brian, one question. Why won't any Arab government stand up fo the Palestinians? Obviously they don't care about the Palestinians,. You need to study real history
Must admit that was very well balanced. Supporting Israel rights to fight back and call them out not to commit war crimes. Gave a good context of the troubles and not black and white, but grey as well. Biden should be calling for restraint on cutting of essential services to Gaza. Only last week, we condemned Russia for hitting Ukrainian infrastructure. We should also call out Israel if they doing this or planning to do this.
Agreed... Humanitarian aide is essential... Innocent civilians Should not be deprived of food, water, clothing, and medical intervention
Really good talk today. Very informative.
Anyone addressing the warcrimes committed by the israel government on palestinan civilians for decades now?
The Humanist Report & The Rational National do.
Very informative! Thank you Tommy! And you too, Brian!
