Why do these types of videos always come with some Israeli advertising before or after the video. So bizarre. I've seen more Israeli adverts since October 7th than in I've ever seen in my life.
I was in the Army, infantry in the US war against the people of Viet Nam. His stories resonate deeply with me. I’ve spoken with many vets, my age and younger, most would agree. War and violence are the tools of those in power. We, the ordinary people, on both sides suffer.
Exactly. The power of the Devil himself, in humans that takes up space playing the role of leaders who are blood thirsty and hungry for power for material gain etc.. etc. It's a deep rooted sickness and the whole world of innocence has to suffer due to these sociopathic mental cases. Sad to say.
And when will people finally realize that ? It was never a question of being Pro-Palestine or Pro-Israel, it's a question of humanism and stop the war instead of funding it. Why are humans lives not prioritized over everything else ?
Dehumanization happens to all soldiers in EVERY war. It's not a reason to not fight unless you are willing to just roll over and die to an enemy that has no problem dehumanizing you.

OMG 😳 I cannot believe this. Finally someone telling the truth of what goes on. My heart is with the Palestinian people and how they have been repressed for waaayyyy too long.
These IDF soldiers have been coming out and saying this for decades. Lol 😂 where have you been. They were doing this for 75 years. Nothing new. I’ve seen endless interviews like this for decades. This is why we are against Israel and pro Palestinian. Israel created this.
Thank you so much guys especially Ariel... It high time for the Israelis to allow the Palestinians to enjoy right to life, freedom of movement, access to pure drinking water, and access to quality education. I strongly believe if the Israelis allow the Palestinians to be...total peace will prevail
What he said about dehumanization is unfortunately a tactic used across the world. In Pakistan, I grew up hearing about the oppression of Kashmiri people by India. I felt so helpless and angry at the world for being silent spectators. As I grew up, I started became aware of similar horrific acts of violence my own army was committing in balochistan. I have to say, it’s very hard to see it all when you live inside a bubble and only listen to mainstream media. When the bubble finally breaks, it’s both heartbreaking and eye opening. It’s also very hard to engage reasonably with those who still live inside the bubble of lies.
indonesians to west papuans too and the whole country is still in the bubble! it is especially sad because many would insist that oppressed people including people who used to be colonized, could not be oppressors.

I am ugly crying as Ariel is in detail describing the IDF approach of dehumanizing and justifying the atrocities before us. Thank you for acknowledging that in order for true peace and security for Israel is to end this draconian occupation.
Blimey this is one perspective I didn't think we'd get. The way dehumanisation sets in and how it allows such actions is chilling. Brilliant interview thank you Owen.
What do you think happened in WW2 Germany? Or Rwanda or Cambodia or North and South America or Australia or....this shouldn't be a shock or surprise or anything new. This is exactly how it happens.
Yes and if the roles were reversed it would be the exact same thing. I am tried of reading about right and wrong. Logic is the way forward, not accusations of which side started it or is more wrong than the other.@@SuhailButt
I am an american who's heart breaks in hearing this. I've been crying this entire video. We all want our families, our children, to be able to live with hopes and peace. I really think Governments get in the way of this. I love all people and always will.
That all sounds beautiful and all but this world is a horrid place filled with injustices and you have to choose a side . That side should always be the morally just side. The real victims and oppressed people are minorities and people of colour. In this case it’s the middle eastern people and black people all over the world 😢
@@ayaan8877 Not always. It's about studying each specific situation in order to determine who is doing the injustice. Otherwise, you end up with the Israeli population, living an hour away from Palestinians and never having actually met one. Lies are bred from that. Skin color is practically irrelevant here. The issues are both cultural and industrial.
Thank you greetings from Somalia 🇸🇴 we too are victims of American aggressions they will be a day we all stand for infront our creator for the deeds we have done .
Humanism is one of the saving graces of the West. I just don't know how can we can justify, refuse to condemn and, worse, directly support these atrocities.
Unfortunately this decent person probably represents a small minority in Israel. However, I think he underplays the extent of this genocide as the population is not just being bombed and physically attacked. It is also being starved, deprived of water and denied medicines and medical assistance. It’s happening because Israeli society has been conditioned over many decades to have no shame for its actions or compassion for its victims.
Underplayed is an understatement. He also provided a justification of forced dehumanization for what these criminals are doing. They know the Palestinians are humans, they just don't gaf.
@@alisonjoubert9960I kinda feel like he said what all pro Palestinians have known and been saying for many years. What I somehow find uncomfortable is that it becomes truth when an i$raeli voice says it or rather confirms it. There are so many layers to this interview. I feel off about it somehow.
💙The whole world is seeing the TRUTH about the illegal occupation. There is no turning back. The world is now knowing what Palestinians have been going through for 75+ years. Blessings, Everyone...💜
@@katpuss6564 agreed, then he talked about how Hamas not wanting peace while they bombed the civilian populations every now and then since 1948. What a joke. He's nowhere near a hero as someone perceived him.
What a brave, honourable and respectful human being Ariel is. I feel for what he has experienced and seen, and can't imagine the sadness and inner struggle he must have to stand up for peace and speaking out.
I've been wondering about the level of PTSD and suicide in the IDF. Of Course, not ALL the soldiers are racist thugs anymore than ALL the Palestinians in Gaza are Hamas Terrorists. One thing for certain is Both populations are traumatized - probably for life. Neither Side will Ever Feel Safe, again. 😢😢😢

Balanced conversations are needed. But no one can call an oppressor a victim. No matter who you are. Palestinians should have equal rights in their land.
After hearing this insightful interview, I'm thinking why can't Arabs and Israelis live as one country with equal rights under a new name for the country. 💡 Seems Israel has occupiers are in constant fear of the oppressed retaliating which makes it difficult for a 2 state solution.
@@Saby217you mean Palestinians and Israelis.Israel will never agree for Palestinians to have equal rights under a one state solution because their intentions is stealing the whole land from day one! Israel's fear is not a justification for their brutal oppression.

Thank you for inviting Ariel, and thank you Ariel, for giving your insights and experience. Absolutely, when we think of the others as humans the same as us, our family, friends, community, we can see what we are doing in a different light. I'm here after South Africa has taken Israel to the ICJ in the Hague, and before anything has been decided that I can see. The dehumanization of children, especially, is shocking and unacceptable. It is horrific to be sitting here at home watching the horrors of the current Gaza Strip situation. Thank you for speaking out. We need everyone we can who can speak out.
Hitler also used dehuminisation as a tactic in his reign of terror. I don't know how people are so blind to Israels tactics. It scares me to see everyone I know supporting Israel and not caring about what is happening to people in gaza.
Very moving interview Owen. Thank you so much for sharing. I went on to watch other videos of Ariel Bernstein which includes one video in which he pays tribute to a Palestinian friend ( Khalil abu Yahia) that he knew in Gaza. Khalil abu Yahia was killed, alongside his wife and two daughters, in an airstrike whilst sheltering from the bombing in October. He was only 28 years old. They never met each other (only via Zoom). The tragedy was that they had hoped to have a coffee together one day, and now they never will. They saw the humanity in each other and spoke of co-existence.
@@compassion-t9y Truly the best outcome is peace and harmony. There are deep wounds being inflicted that will take a long time to heal (if at all) if peace comes.
That you would even think that dehumanization would be unique to this conflict or one side of this conflict and not an extremely common and historically pervasive part of so many wars is shocking to me. But maybe you are young and only just now learning about history.
America. Police have been trained by Israeli soldiers for more than 12 years. IN articles plentiful. Why? Who decided Americans to be addressed as occupied treated? Gradual infiltration.
In the 1970s Israeli PM secretly met Mustafa Barzani and stated its to support for PDK (Patri Dimukrati Kurdstan). The Israelis trained some PDK members on how to place explosives on vehicles, place mines, conduct assassination attacks...etc. This is all documented by either side, My father had a book about this with evidence and pictures of many of the members being literally introduced to and trained on what's considered today as TERRORISIM because the Israelis wanted to spread as much as destabilisation in Iraq as possible.

@Hebrew-Spirit youre on every thread just disputing every single view that you don't want to believe while it is actually happening. You my friend are the ultimate Manchurian candidate.
@GhizAt After 1991, they started to station their intelligence officers, agents, and (the whole works) in Erbil and Iraq but expanded their intelligence gathering capabilities, cyber espionage...etc and spies, opperative...etc more broadly after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Their stations in Kurdistan are used to eavesdrop, gather huge amounts of data, and even coordinate acts of sabotage and operational activities specifically against Iran and Iraq of course. Its not secret, my people know where they are, all over. Of course not to mention all the other American military stations And the huge American Embassy comex in the "Green Zone" of Baghdad which is an absolute abomination and threat for everything that means lasting stability and security for our people in the region. When I was a kid, I saw someone in black-and-white say the following: *-Every status changes -The world never stays in the same state -It changes from one state to another state -That is the only continum of status*
Even if you didn't admit it, it's crystal clear that the oppression, double standard of these innocent civilians victims in palestine are facing is beyond imagination.
Israel claim to be being kind by offering warning of a strike, but really "they're legitimising a battle ground". I pray more people start to see the light. Thank you Ariel for being a light.
That's because it's an international law. It's required. At least Israel respects it, that's more than you can say about Hamas and all of their war crimes.

@@jello4318well because the only horrors Palestinians have suffered and r suffering r at the hands of israhel....on one hand if hamas govt didn't do wonders for the people of gaza(mostly couldn't because of israel sabotaging every major developement project in gaza) then they also didn't exacerbated their sufferings......u will find a very few Palestinians talking bad about hamas.....and they r not controlled by khamas as israhel wants to tell all the world.....never were.

In the IDF you were a leader, and you are still a leader
I'm thankful for Mr Ariel for shedding some light on a matter that has been severely neglected and, more often than not, deliberately overlooked. I'm a firm believer that people can become friends with whoever as long as they're not facing the barrel of a weapon when conversing and Mr Ariel solidified my stance on his matter. I pray that, once their pains have healed, made peace with their traumas and properly bid their lost ones farewell, the Palestinians will have their chance for a proper, fruitful and meaningful life that they undeniably deserve.

Cool, but you dont have a UN without the permenant security council members. The UN exists as a method to prevent atrocity. But the atrocity its avoiding or trying to avoid is world war. I personally as an American would have distanced us from Isreal years ago if it was up to me. But without the US choosing to be in the UN theres really nothing the UN can tell us to do. That's true of China as well, and partially true of Russia.
'This a very safe, comfortable space for you to speak' - apart from your tremendeous work of casting a clarifying light on the truth, it's heartwarming to witness your compassion for this brave israeli.
The truth is going to come out in the end. Sadly to late for many. The people have a conscience but sadly our governments do not. I hope this atrocity ends soon and the people who suffer get their freedom 💔 free Palestine 💓

What he said about dehumanization is unfortunately a tactic used across the world. In Pakistan, I grew up hearing about the oppression of Kashmiri people by India. I felt so helpless and angry at the world for being silent spectators. As I grew up, I started became aware of similar horrific acts of violence my own army was committing in balochistan. I have to say, it’s very hard to see it all when you live inside a bubble and only listen to mainstream media. When the bubble finally breaks, it’s both heartbreaking and eye opening. It’s also very hard to engage reasonably with those who still live inside the bubble of lies.
Stay true, brave individual! The whole Truth flatters no one, that's for sure..💓

The issues are both cultural and industrial.

Humanism is one of the saving graces of the West. I just don't know how can we can justify, refuse to condemn and, worse, directly support these atrocities.
Unfortunately this decent person probably represents a small minority in Israel. However, I think he underplays the extent of this genocide as the population is not just being bombed and physically attacked. It is also being starved, deprived of water and denied medicines and medical assistance. It’s happening because Israeli society has been conditioned over many decades to have no shame for its actions or compassion for its victims.
Underplayed is an understatement. He also provided a justification of forced dehumanization for what these criminals are doing. They know the Palestinians are humans, they just don't gaf.

People on Gaza are oppressed by their own "Government". Hamas made their life hell and gives Israel no option but to defend themselves.

Thank you for inviting Ariel, and thank you Ariel, for giving your insights and experience. Absolutely, when we think of the others as humans the same as us, our family, friends, community, we can see what we are doing in a different light. I'm here after South Africa has taken Israel to the ICJ in the Hague, and before anything has been decided that I can see. The dehumanization of children, especially, is shocking and unacceptable. It is horrific to be sitting here at home watching the horrors of the current Gaza Strip situation. Thank you for speaking out. We need everyone we can who can speak out.
It's extremely brave. I wonder what speaking out will cost him in his life.
Hitler also used dehuminisation as a tactic in his reign of terror. I don't know how people are so blind to Israels tactics. It scares me to see everyone I know supporting Israel and not caring about what is happening to people in gaza.
Very moving interview Owen. Thank you so much for sharing. I went on to watch other videos of Ariel Bernstein which includes one video in which he pays tribute to a Palestinian friend ( Khalil abu Yahia) that he knew in Gaza. Khalil abu Yahia was killed, alongside his wife and two daughters, in an airstrike whilst sheltering from the bombing in October. He was only 28 years old. They never met each other (only via Zoom). The tragedy was that they had hoped to have a coffee together one day, and now they never will. They saw the humanity in each other and spoke of co-existence.

When Adriel described how dehumanization becomes convenient when doing wrong it clicked in my brain. Its not just in Gaza & Israel but a global issue.
That you would even think that dehumanization would be unique to this conflict or one side of this conflict and not an extremely common and historically pervasive part of so many wars is shocking to me. But maybe you are young and only just now learning about history.

Thank you Ariel Bernstein a brilliant and incredible insight that the world needs to see.
In the 1970s Israeli PM secretly met Mustafa Barzani and stated its to support for PDK (Patri Dimukrati Kurdstan). The Israelis trained some PDK members on how to place explosives on vehicles, place mines, conduct assassination attacks...etc. This is all documented by either side, My father had a book about this with evidence and pictures of many of the members being literally introduced to and trained on what's considered today as TERRORISIM because the Israelis wanted to spread as much as destabilisation in Iraq as possible.
And not just in Iraq, they are doing the same in Syria, in Africa...
Why does this makes so much sense and im not surprised at all?

@Hebrew-Spirit youre on every thread just disputing every single view that you don't want to believe while it is actually happening. You my friend are the ultimate Manchurian candidate.
@GhizAt After 1991, they started to station their intelligence officers, agents, and (the whole works) in Erbil and Iraq but expanded their intelligence gathering capabilities, cyber espionage...etc and spies, opperative...etc more broadly after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Their stations in Kurdistan are used to eavesdrop, gather huge amounts of data, and even coordinate acts of sabotage and operational activities specifically against Iran and Iraq of course. Its not secret, my people know where they are, all over. Of course not to mention all the other American military stations And the huge American Embassy comex in the "Green Zone" of Baghdad which is an absolute abomination and threat for everything that means lasting stability and security for our people in the region. When I was a kid, I saw someone in black-and-white say the following:
*-Every status changes
-The world never stays in the same state
-It changes from one state to another state
-That is the only continum of status*

Cool, but you dont have a UN without the permenant security council members. The UN exists as a method to prevent atrocity. But the atrocity its avoiding or trying to avoid is world war.

Thank you Ariel for speaking. It can't be easy speaking up when everyone around you is out for blood. I remember watching the footage of soldiers forcing German civilians to tour concentration camps. We will all be held to account for this atrocious moment
Germans again, too lulz.
Whose blood?????? Your? Mine?
