PIERS MORGAN vs BASSEM YOUSSEF the War Between Israel & Palestine
You cannot take somebody’s land and then offer a piece of it as a peace offering
They don't even leave them live in peace in that piece of land, they treat them like they own them
There have jever been Palestine in history of the world
@@natashka1982 lol.
👏🏼 you get it. Common sense is unfortunately rare these days.
@@maisounhasan7738 if there was such thing as Palestine. Which isn't
I am a Palestinian. My family was displaced... in 1948... to Jordan. My grandmother walked from Palestine to Jordan on foot. Most of my family were killed, and those who survived left Palestine before being killed. I was born in Jordan, but I am Palestinian. They stole our homes and lands and killed our families.
I am Israeli, in 1948 my family fight against Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi, Jordan after the UN approve the land divide between israel/palestine.
The war was forced on Israel by all the Arabs countries that surrounded us.
Please tell me what was the purpose of the war?
Why all the arabs attacks us together?
❤❤ palestine 🇵🇸will be free inchaallah soon❤❤❤
You forget to mention that the land was both owned by jewish and arabs during the british mandate, the UN decided to split the land and the palestinians refused to because they wanted the whole land of israel, then they started a war in which they lost.
@@MistaAlon Maybe you forgot to mention that before the war more than millions of Palestinians were first driven from their land after the British left. Which caused refugees and therefore war.
You really thought they fought for nothing. Farmers were going to lose their jobs and their land to Jews who are mainly Europeans.
And question, since the Zionist state was supposed to be a project to be forgiven for anti-Semitic massacres by Europeans, why not give them European lands?
Besides, I'm sorry, who in the world would be happy to see a state created on land that belongs to you? It's as if I were asking the USA to create a country in the middle of Brazil for the Iraqis because they went to war on the basis of a lie. Do you think the Brazilians will agree?
@@MistaAlonZionist shill
I am from the Westbank exactly from Bethlehem where the Nativity church is and since I was a kid, I haven't felt safe I have always seen soldiers attacking Palestinian civilians and have always read the poets of Palestinian captives in the Israeli prison I just feel weak because they can do anything take our house take me to jail shoot me anytime. it is also not fair that I have to go to Jordan to use their airport because the old Palestinian airport was damaged by Israel. I deserve to feel safe in my own house and in my hometown streets. i deserve to travel using my country's airport! Why do we not have the right to move between cities like other countries?? Why do I have to feel stuck in my hometown? why do I need permission to enter Jerusalem and Haifa? Why do I not have the right to movement? it is hard to move from one city in the Westbank to another city also in the Westbank!
Thank you for sharing your experience of what life is like living in the West Bank. I’m so sorry this is reality for you.
you deserve to feel safe and be free to travel outside your town.
Because your area is full of terrorists and we don't want terrorists in Israel.
We already saw on 7th October what it is to let terrorists out of their wall and holocaust number two happened.
We also know there are thousands of hamas supporters and jihadis living in the west bank, mainly in Jenin Ramallah and Naplouse.
Security for Israeli people is more important than you wanting to be a tourist in tel aviv.
Hi, I'm from Tel Aviv, and I wish you'll have all your good desires in your life. For me, as an Israeli, I can't visit your city beitLehem, and If I would insist I would be easily killed. So this is a problem for both sides. If you'll have an airport, Iran could easily bring all their control and weapon to 3km from Israeli cities. Israel, unfortunately, cannot let that happen. I wish peace for both of us.
@@vcarter1365 i think you should first tell us why the jews created iran in the seventies iran was created by the jewsh in the east to stop islam which they hated because it was not what they expected they tought that a new jewish prophet will come but when they found out that it was a arab prophet your ancestors tryed everything to kill eve our prophets in the past so Almighty didn't let that happen to He's prophet..!
So your ancestors started after he's death working toghether with the persians and created from them a shia leader to destroy something that called islam all that started from because of you f jewsh you are so hatefull and you want to destroy islam like your ancestors tryed before. So stop your lies idiote.
@@vcarter1365"you have no airport, because Iran would otherwise bring in all the weapons"
Now if Israel had a good relationship with all its neighbours, that wouldn't occur. would it?
But by being the occupant, putting so much strain on Palestinian civilians, mostly Muslims, all the other countries around Israel, mostly Muslims, won't be your friends. They are not happy how their brothers and sisters are treated.
Question is: who will hold out the olive branch or continue to be surrounded by neighbours that give you death stares?
Israel already lost its PR around the world.
And what will happen to the 540 billion $ gas fields and oil found 2014 in Gaza region? And the planned second Suez canal going right through Gaza?

Fun fact: ancestorial DNA testing is illegal in Israel. Cause when they did it back then in controlled environment, the result came out that all those samples had the origin from France, Ukraine, Hungary, Germany etc. No Canaanites. While the sample from the current ppl of Palestine are all originated from Canaanites. Cause of this issue they made that type of DNA testing illegal.
Wrong. It's illegal because such test can prove that a child was a product of an adultery, and thus cause lots of problems afterwards.
What BS there is enough lies flying around why add more
Where is your sources this is not true
@@funneverends1991 just Google it, 'Ancestorial DNA test illegal in Israel ' . You will even find some Wikipedia articles. Ofc you will need to do more research to find the reason why it's illegal, cause the Wikipedia just says something like 'it's so the people don't use it against the Israeli government'
@@nahaloz1816 read this on Wikipedia. It's a fact, not BS.
You do not have to be a Muslim to defend a Palestinian cause, and no matter how much you hate Arabs or any religion, we are all human beings and we have hearts. What we need is to see the truth and we all have humanity. We are human beings at the end, and there is a difference between right and wrong, the oppressor and the oppressed. Thank you, my brother, for this video.
I am a muslim, and saudi arabia, Quatar and other countries like that just make me wanna puke, i hate them. These are really shitholes. I life in germany and here if u say anything against israel u are anti-semitic. But what i am saying is Hamas is terrible, Israel is way worse, to be able to get peace (NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM) just for peace, you have to take out the Israel millitary and politic firat, because they are the bigger terrorist organisation, after that, you take out Hamas, and split the country half half, and have rules to provide attacking each other.
Because if you take out hamas first, there is literally nothing which can fight against israel on a military lv, from the palestinian side, which would cause israel to massacre the leftover palestinians and just take over gaza.
The issue why west world isnt seeing it that way is, because Israel is imposing as a Country, but they do terrorist acts for decades, and the west dosent care. While also israel is the only non muslim place down there, the west dosent want to lose any teritorial aspects in there and surrender all to muslims. Its such a disgrace as a human being to call israels actions self-defense. Same with china and the uygurs, also my ancestors, getting slaughtered... no one cares, i feel deep upsetness in my heart, with all these happening. ty for everyone who is supporting, and sorry for the rant
It's so clear that the rabid hatred for Palestinians by many western/European people has been conditioned from the mountain of propaganda we've been fed at least since 9/11. I had really hoped most people had snapped out of the fever dream that was the Iraq/Afghanistan war and realized the anti-muslim rhetoric was dangerous propaganda but now here we are again and I'm getting flashbacks to 2001.
I'm an atheist and I was at the Palestinian Solidarity March a couple of weeks ago.
I wouldn't want to live under a Muslim, Christian or Jewish regime.
However, this is about ordinary citizens undergoing a horrific assault.
My great grandmother and grandfather survived the holocaust. My mother in 1967 was attacked by a group of French men and they carved a swastika into her back which covers her entire back, so I am fully aware of the assault on people for no good reason.
And I find the use of the holocaust by Israelis repugnant- they seem to think that because something bad happened years ago they can keep using it as a justification for the atrocities they are committing. I have second cousins in Israel and they have this far right zionist views - which is why I haven't spoken to them in years.
There's a reason why entire Arab world hates Palestinians
Incredible! I hope one day, Palestine gets justice. They have been occupied so long brutally killed, taken from their land, controlled from the sea from the air and every where, and they have been resisting and they Cant even retaliate😢🥺😭
Legends say that Piers wakes up everyday in the middle of the night screaming “Do you condemn the terrorist attack by Hamas on October the 7th?”
Do you?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Apparently, you don't. Or do you?
Boss: good morning, piers. How are you today?
Piers: Do you condemn the attack on the 7th of October?
While denying obvious atrocities happening to the Palestinians way before Oct 7th.
I would just like to say that Israel having a religious right to Gaza is objective. And NOWHERE else in the world should we hold religious right to land as credible. AND even if we were to go along with the claim that Jews have a religious right to the land, Jews were living in Palestine for thousands of years many converted to Christianity, many converted to Islam, and many obviously preserved their Jewish faith. And right up until 1948 with the Declaration of the "State of Israel" where 1 million Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from their land, with reports of thousands of massacres all throughout Palestine, there were STILL many Arab Jews living there which are the Jews that had been historically there for thousands of years. As Bassem pointed out the Zionist movement and the immigration of Jews from Europe, was just that, A European problem. And to somehow suggest that European Jews have a claim to Palestinan land is ludocrus.
100%🔥
I think you meant the right is subjective (not objective)? I am baffled by the number of abjectly false "statements" he made as the 3 pros and cons on both sides. It's like he listened to CNN, read some WP articles, threw in some US propaganda and claimed them as facts. His claim of skimming the surface is translation for staggering ignorance and a racist take (Israel didn't let the Palestinians flourish and Palestinians built a terror state....dude your bias is showing)
So religion is a basis for a right to displace and kill a nation, but when an Arab mentions holy wars, it's all whooaa? Don't the Muslims and Christians then have the same right to the land since they all stem from the same Abrahamic faith?
To claim that a group has a right to a land based on their religion and because they were there thousands of years ago is the height of hypocrisy for a bunch of Americans sitting in on land that Native Americans inhabited before them and had religious connections to.
If he had actually done any research he would have learned that every effort at peace and two state solution has been sabotaged by Israel since the very beginning. There was never any good faith intention at peace or a two-state solution. Israeli far right assassinated their own PM when he tried the two state solution in the 90s. The mass exodus plans of the Palestinians that are now being leaked are apparently a copy paste of the same plans from the 1960s that they never gave up on. I feel like my brain will break in two when trying to take in the number of lies Israel has made since 1967. They have denied every attack they started, constructed elaborate lied and only admitted to them when evidence from investigations gave them no other options. Up until last year they killed a journalist and lied about it.
He should have stuck to reacting to music.
this is a genuine question, i thought that muslims and christians have the same connection to that land anyway because they’re all abrahamic religions? please help
Exactlyyy
@@anneonymous9680 absolutely Muslims Christians and Jews had ties to the land and lived there together historically in relative peace under the custodianship of the Muslims for roughly a little over a thousand years in fact when the Muslims first took over Jerusalem the leader at the time (Caliph Omar) was shocked that there was no Jews and invited Jews back into Jerusalem after they were expelled by the Romans. Muslims also welcomed influxes of Jewish refugees during the Spanish Inquisition and the Holocaust. These are all historical facts feel free to verify on your side as well.
I am an old fan to your channel, and as an Egyptian, I have to admit that Bassem used to employ his genius genuine sarcastic capabilities against the corruption and political failures conducted by local regimes till they kicked off his ass outside the country.
This guy delivered what our arab leaders faild to do, you have to watch the second interview, literally it's a historical educational interview.
The second interview was just perfect.
The second interview is literally what Bassem wanted it to be, a literal “historical reference” to the ppl that don’t know shit bout the conflict, and he did it in a perfect way, and as an Arab myself (Saudi) i agree, the Arab leaders definitely failed to do what Bassem did and that’s rly sad.
@@El.gato0 As an Egyptian, I completely feels what you saying and I agree with it 90%.. the 10% disagree would come to "Arab leaders definitely failed to do what Bassem did."
Leaders deal with these issues in a total different way, they don't need to explain the conflict and it's history because time won't allow that and time is important during a crisis. They did mention that it didn't start on Oct. 7th, but overall they are being too soft dealing with this issue and with NO EXCEPTION!
In the sense of agreement, unfortunately our leaders are mentality weak since long time ago. Cutting relations temporary - at least - with Israel doesn't break their peace treatments.. Begging for a ceasefire over and over is useless.. Egypt should not close the boarders and send army members with the aids 24/7 and it won't be against Israel in any sense of a threat - It's Gaza, a Palestinian land, right?! This will corner Israel a bit to not drop bombs on them.. unless.. eh, a new conflict but this time is with Egypt?! 🤔 Arab leaders should has used the tone of anger a long time ago in their speeches.. The need to man up.. FFS just realizing that we're almost a month in this makes me so angry!
Peace and love to all.
@@itsmidorabie we’re literally not disagreeing on anything ur spitting facts actually, we’re on the same boat and may god free Palestine.
@@itsmidorabie and what i meant with my statement was that Bassem did more than they ever did to the conflict and to the Palestinians, u just didn’t understand my point correctly.
before I finish, I just want to point out some mistakes in the video, all the peace treaties did not offer the Palestinians a right to have their own government , and also they control the water and food supplies and electricity for Palestine, and lastly in 22 sept 2023 Bibi Netanyahu brought to the UN a map of the " new Middle East" without Palestine before the attack his aim was very clear.
Yes the claim that the Palestinian was "offered" a 2 state solution which they vehemently reject was never true. No such offers were made.
exactly, israel never signed the oslo accords because it would stablish borders. israel's been stealing palestinian lands since 1948... all he has to do is google "nakba" and youre done. israel has no claim on that land other than religious matter, and if it is relevant, so do all monotheistic religions.
glad to see comments calling out misinformation, i was concerned they would all be pro-zionist
@@Dolphinator1999 tbf some of us are former pro Israeli. So we heard 2 sides of the argument. The propaganda runs deep so it's good that people are seeing through these Zionists' lies. I also used to believe the human shield talking point that propagandist like Shapiro uses, it's silly to think about it in retrospect. They bombed an Associated Press buildings claiming there were weapons there, then they continued to leveled schools, hospitals and has now graduated to bombing ambulances and shooting journalists. That's how bold face these Zionist Terrorist are.
The Palestinians elected their own govt in 2005 I think and elected Hamas. Hamas hasn't allowed an election since.
Can you imagine somebody coming to your door and saying that 2000 years ago their ancestors lived there and that therefore they now have a right to your house and land. International law at that time did not agree that that was legal and they still don't today.
I’m glad that you’re feeling so open and willing to stop and talk about things that seriously matter and need to be addressed! I admire you.
Did Alex just missed Bassem's point? "Hamas did fucked up shit, Israel did fucked up shit."... There's no Hamas in West Bank, what's your excuse to do horror in West Bank. Piers Morgan couldn't answer that and apparently Alex complete ignored it.
There is lots of Hamas in the West Bank. In the Palestinian Legislative Council all 9 of the members for Hebron, 5 of the 6 for Shchem/Nablus, 4 of the 5 for Ramallah, 2 of the 3 for Tulkarm, 2 of the 4 for Bethlehem, 2 of the 4 for Jenin, the only member for Salfit and the only member for Tubas are all Hamas. The mayor of Al-Bireh is Hamas. 25 of the 51 representatives on the Birzeit University Student Council are Hamas, a plurality. Hamas member, Abed el-Qader Qawasmeh (the son of the former head of Hamas's military arm in Hebron), along with 2 other Hamas members from Hebron, killed an Israeli soldier and attempted to kill and injured 5 others (from a car containing two M16 rifles, two pistols, about 10 loaded magazines, hundreds of additional bullets, two axes and fake uniforms resembling those of the Israeli military), before being killed themselves on the way to attempt a mass shooting in Jerusalem in November. The "West Bank" military wing of Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack. Arin al-Usud operates entirely out of "the West Bank" and is funded by Hamas.
I completely agree with Bassem Youssef, He is honest and brave ❤
I see hurt in his eyes then he talked about 6 year old getting stabbed. Its even worse then you hear details. That boy didnt know what was going on so he hugged the old man 😢. The boy looked up to him it was his safe nest. Imagine being betrayed like that. It stopped my heart and never left my mind
Life will never be the same.
Its not complicated. 1 side stole land from the other and oppressed them.
When exactly israel stole the land?
@@ilpsoldier8092 Google Nakhba and Deir Yassin 1948.
@@GrumpX i googled and it writes that UN divide the land between israeli and palestine, then the arabs world not happy with so they attack the israel.
So when israel stole the lands?
Its not complicated. You lose a war you yourself started, you get oppressed and have give land to the winner.
@@baronhelmut2701 You can't whitewash history in the internet age. Zionists started the violence first in 1948 and continue oppressing until today.
Thank you for taking the time and watching this trying to learn more about the issue! Please also watch round 2 between Bassem and Piers, it’s a completely different energy and I guarantee you’d learn much more there.
What peace are you talking about? 74 years ago Israel didn't even exist. There was only Palestine. Well, how about I tell you, lend me the basement of your house, then demand that it's mine, then take over the whole house and make a peace treaty with you. I'll give you the basement? Freedom for Palestine
Good gods. I’m only 5 minutes in and yelling at my screen.
Yes. You absolutely need to do loads of research to form a balanced opinion on this…Critical thinking skills are a must here though and a lot of people don’t have it.
I have been doing so for several years now.
Reading history books, articles, talking to Palestinians both here and in Gaza.
So when you said “It’s not about colonialism” my head almost exploded.
It ABSOLUTELY IS.
It’s basically the same damn thing we did from the 15th century on when America was “discovered”. There were already millions of indigenous people here but because Europeans saw themselves as superior to the “savages” we just took what we felt we deserved.
That was ethnic cleansing. That was genocide. And the very definition of colonialism.
* sigh *
Colonized by whom? By the same indigenous Jewish people whom where colonized, murdered and expelled?
My grandmother and her family were almost killed by the Arabs in 1929, way before the state of Israel was re-established.
@@GilTheCohen Dude…after WW2 Europe tried to figure out what to do with the surviving jews and picked Palestine to split up and give to them. It wasn’t necessary at all. Again, jews, christians and muslims had already been living there TOGETHER for thousands of years. There was no need for 750k Palestinians to be violently uprooted and forced into these ever shrinking bits of land. And there sure as hell wasn’t a need to massacre whole villages in the process.
One group’s trauma does not give them the green light to do a similar thing to others.
The Israeli government has been crystal fucking clear about their intentions. Especially Bibi. They don’t see the Palestinians as equal humans and they want them gone. They’ve been playing the long game and Oct. 7th was the excuse they were looking for to finish the job. Whether they flee to Sinai or die…they don’t care.
And this entire thing has fostered this gross sense of superiority in part of the Israeli population too. For literal decades zionist extremists have been having watch parties to celebrate the bombs going off in Gaza. Calling them animals that need to be exterminated.
This whole thing has never been about jews being persecuted. It’s just groups of men making power moves to assert dominance and comparing dick sizes…and opportunistic settlers taking advantage of the situation to go on their own little power trips.
So a population that keeps on growing from 1.2 mil in 1948 (700,000 of whom came between 1914-1948) to over 7.5 million is ethnic cleansing? Cus those are the numbers of the Arab population ”between the river and the sea”.
If so, the Jews don’t know how to do it so well…. You see, when an actual genocide against the Jews happened in 1939-1945, the population went down from nearly 16.75 million people worldwide. You know how many Jews live goats, more than 80 years after? 16.1 million. That’s a genocide.
If hamas are terrorists, Israel is a terrorist state. What they're doing is much worse than what hamas did. If Israel has the right to defend itself by killing innocent people, hamas also has the right to defend itself by killing innocent people. And this IS about colonialism, my friend. No matter how much you try to be neutral and please both parties, you can't deny that Israel colonized Palestine and have been oppressing Palestinians for decades now. So don't be shocked that what you get from 75 years of oppression is a resistance group like hamas.
I love how everyone that talks about "Israel has the right to defend itself" always making it sound like Hamas is the one who has all the power and military and Israel the one that is living in an open air-prison 😅
The math isn't mathing
There is a new basseem youssef interview, piers literally flew to do it. And basseem is AMAZING there
Love Palestine 🇵🇸 from Indonesia 🇮🇩
One thing that is important for people to remember is that it's possible to denounce the actions of the Israeli government without being antisemitic.
The Israeli people and Jews everywhere are not to blame here. It's their government and their military.
Blame - they were attacked. They are retaliated - it is war. It is all on Gaza for letting Hamas rule. This guy is a charlatan.
First of all zionists are secular not religious. Second, they are not ethnic Jews. They are from the tribe of Amelek from the line of Edom/Esau. They are imposters.
obviously. the problem begins when zionists start weaponizing antisemitism into silencing anyone that doesn't agree with their policies. "you don't think what israel is doing is right? oh, so you want all jewish people to cease to exist!" which is something the state of israel and everyone who agrees with the genocide and ethnic cleansing its committing has been doing for years now and it's so deeply rooted into the western society and media. anything has become antisemitic in the last 3 weeks and it's making islamophobia run rampant in the western society (that's been demonizing muslims and arabs for over 2 decades now).
Yup truth. There's just as much Jews and Israeli that's against Zionism. So saying it's antisemitic is just not correct. Furthermore the Palestinians and Arabs are more semitic than these European Jews.
Same thing with the Palestinians, But why killing one is justified and the other is not.
Just wanna point out, that Israel offered peace with taking the lands and never give back an inch of the land to palestanian. So how they can offer peace and taking the lands in the same time 😅
Wrong. Since 2005 there was not a single Israeli in Gaza. The area was "liberated". Now we see what they did with this land.
@@konstantinmuhin4813 How it is liberated and Israel controls the water, food, entry, exit? And It is obvious for any single person who have a quick search in history, he will know easily how Israel occupied Palestine. Imagine that happens to your country? What you will react?
“History is the study of all the world’s crime.”
Voltaire, French writer and philosopher (1694-1778)
I wonder how Piers asks the question about "PEACE" between the Oppressor and and Oppressed. Isn't that something that happens between two equally independent entities?
I would really recommend you to read scholars such as Noam Chomsky, Ilan Pappe and Norman Finkelstein to get a more nuanced perspective.
Also, you said this wasn't an issue about colonialism. I just want to point out that even Theodor Herzl, the father of modern zionism, himself described the idea of Israel as a colony. This was at the time when most people didn't really consider colonialism as something bad, though.
I'd also recommend you to read more about the nakba.
Have a great day 😊
I'd also like to thank you for being so open minded!
And another thing. I would recommend you to google the Balfour Declaration (1917) to see how Britain gave away land that wasn't theirs to give to begin with. Also, the only Jewish member of the cabinet at the time (Edwin Samuel Montagu) opposed the declaration. The idea of the Balfour declaration was antisemitic. Arthur Balfour (who was the one pushing for the creation of a Jewish state) had described Jews as "an alien and hostile people" and he also sponsored legislation to keep Jewish refugees out of the UK.
Ah yes... Noam Chomsky.
The billiant man who claims the Holocaust never existed...
Very good choice.
Yeah, I agreed with a lot of his points, but starting off the conversation claiming this isn't about colonialism is willfully ignoring a giant portion of the issue.
@@grasshopperye3593 i agree!
4:17 it is colonialism - Ghaza and the West Bank are literally called the occupied territories
Good to see you so passionate about this conflict. All people should know what is going on in the world.
He is extremely sarcastic because of the immense pain he is in . Violence perpetuates more violence period. we need to stop this madness 😢3700 children are way to much a price to pay for the political , religious or any other issue or conflict .
I haven't finished your video yet, but I already can say I appreciate your reaction stressing that people need to research.
everyone should start researching by the word "nakba". thats the begining of everything.
@@COLDASHELL_BEATS
I think one has to go back in time much further, in order to understand why Nakbah was possible to take place at all.
In my opinion, the Balfour Declaration was, and still is, one of the most controversial documents. By writing it, the British gave land to Jews that wasn`t theirs to give.
@@lechat8533 exactly
@@COLDASHELL_BEATS The beginning goes much further back than Nakba.
But sure... let's focus on the evils of ONE side.
Because, as we know... Arabs have NEVER done anything wrong. Right?
They are so pure.
Israel has no claim on land, if you say that, native Americans have claim on America, Aboriginals have claim on Australia, Māori have claim on New Zealand, Portugal and Spain were one country, Pakistan and India should join back together, Russia could take back a lot of the eastern block of Europe, the only claim they have is what England gave them after the Second World War after giving money to Britain for the war effort, wealthy Jewish families have funded many English wars including the Napoleonic war
Go check the part 2 of this interview with bassem you'll understand why this is happening
Dear Alex two simple key words and then it's up to you to do the research : Occupation vs resistance.
* also Arab Canaanites lived 4 thousands years ago in Palestine which is way before the existence of Jews. I appreciate that you are tackling this issue bravely... but I believe you need to dig deeper and be open to another narrative. all the respect.
Moral of the ongoing story is that there is an apartheid, racist state, that’s treating the same indigenous people of the land that welcomed them with warm hands during ww1 and ww2, as second class citizens. It’s like inviting someone to your house, then they over time they force you to live in the attic and then expect you not to reclaim your house back 😃
Just like when the fled to Jordan and assassinated the king or in Egypt causing all sorts of issues. You ever stop and think why ALL the surrounding areas WILL NOT ALLOW Palestinians to come across their border. They must be peaceful if that's the case.
Impressive analysis. Such a complex history all summed up into a few sentences. However, it seems that if your description were a fair representation, nearly everyone would with agree with you, and they don’t.
By that logic, the USA is a an apartheid state.
And also... which warm hands were those?
The ones that helped Nazis capture jews for their own benefit?
Seems like there's some selective history choices thought by whatever school you've been to.
Or i guess they simply forgot how most of Arabia (seemingly including your beloved "Palestine") supported Nazi germany.
Are those the warm, blood covered hands that aided the result of the holocaust you speak of?
Cause i DO believe they were quite warm.
That's pretty much the extent of the truth here.
I will remind you of a very funny quote from Hitler himself...
"The peoples of Islam will always be closer to us than, for example, France".
And also you conveniently leave out the British involvement in all of this.
It seems like every Muslim is scared of talking about them.
But it's fairly obvious why.
It would shift blame.
Can't have that when all of your existence is revolved around hating a certain group of people :)
So do not use a word such as "moral" when pretty much your entire existence is to be "immoral".
Another important note, Ben Shapiro is considered a little extreme, and a lot of Israelis don’t agree with some of the things he says.
It’s important to understand that many Israelis have been protesting against Netanyahu and the government for almost a year before Oct 7th.
Love people who stop and think and don't take whatever the media says.

KUDOS to you, Alex! RESPECT!
I think that the current geopolitical situation is extremely demanding, weird, and nerve-wracking for most of us.
The leaders of the Collective West are playing with our lives, our future like little children who haven`t got a clue what is actually going on. They are using heavily loaded words without understanding their meaning and the consequences they may provoke and bring.
Those in power lack natural intelligence, true education, political and historical knowledge, rhetorical skills, negotiating skills, respect and empathy for others, humility, and wisdom.
They brought us to the edge of WWIII. And here we are, looking into the darkest pit of our lifetime.
They are killing innocent unarmed people, babies, and little children without any regrets or sorrow.
Right in the open, in front of our very eyes, Mass Murder is being committed and the US is financing it and the rest of the Collective West is watching and supporting it.
NOBODY IS STOPPING IT!
That`s how Nazi Germany looked in the 1930s, and nobody said anything, did anything.
In the middle of the streets, innocent Jews, Jippsies, and invalids had been ridiculed, belittled, tortured, and beaten. All that under the laughing faces of many (not all) Germans.
When WWII finally ended, the whole world was asking how it could come to that.
Sons, daughters, and grandchildren have been asking for decades, "What did you do to help those poor people?"
Now it`s our turn to SAY SOMETHING, to DO SOMETHING!
Now is not the time TO BE QUIET!
At the very least, we should INFORM OURSELVES & LEARN MORE, just like you said!
And then, we should start ASKING (THE RIGHT) QUESTIONS and ACT ACCORDINGLY!
Thank you for addressing the big pink elephant in the room.
Thank you, Alex!
U know sister that two days ago israel bombed the second oldest church in the world in palstine and before this church they bombed a hospital belongs to church and the two places are in fire
And many palestinians Christians and muslims are dying
It’s not a war between jews and Muslims it’s between jews and all non jews people
U can see easily before 7 of October israelians fighting any Christian human they see and also muslims
In the same time Christian countries are supporting Israel
Fuck Europe fuck America
Wow! You have an interesting ancestry 😆 I really appreciate that you reacted to the whole interview. Also, I suggest you check the 1948 Plan Dalet, too. It explains a lot of things. Also, you have to check the second Piers Morgan and Bassem Yousef’s interview. Although it’s long, but it’s incredibly informative
yes that's true
Quote from UN special reporter: "Israel cannot claim the right of self-defense against a threat that emanates from the territory it occupies. From a territory that is kept under belligerent occupation."
I congratulate you Alex for taking the time to discuss this situation in the way that you did. Respectfully, realistically, honestly and with actual concern.
Occupied people have the right to resist by any means available to them, including armed struggle.
No nation has the right to exist in a state of apartheid.
They just did an almost 2 hour interview expansion on this.
I'm glad you reached to this, Dr Bassem is the GOAT!
Alex, I want you to put your attorney hat on. You say there is good and bad on both sides. Certainly there has been bad on both sides, but good, I don’t agree. If you meant good PEOPLE on both sides, I’m with you. However, the question is who has the power in the country? Israel. I don’t think anyone will dispute that. As far as accountability, when you are in a position of power, you’re responsible for your citizens and constituents. With that being said, in the beginning you said Israel has done good things: 1. Israel has a claim to the land. That is not considered a “good” thing. If that is your believe then that is simply historical fact. 2. The land which is held by the Palestinians is “the center of the Israeli religion”. When did this become about religion? The only time religion is mentioned is Orthodox Jews and you can see for yourself how they view the conflict. 3. They have a right to peace. I totally agree with you that all humans should have that right. Again, I don’t see any of these points as a “good” thing. My question is what “good” things has Israel done to/for the Palestinians to promote and maintain peace since 1948? I’m not asking as a “gotcha” question. I genuinely want to know what your findings are.
Just an important FYI - Israel isn't the governing body in Gaza since 2005, when Israel left Gaza in a one sided decision in order to gain peace.
In 2006 and 2007 Hamas were elected by the over 65% of the people in Gaza and since then, they killed members of the PLO and PA in order to keep control of the land.
@@sagipisti123 From this perspective, you are still too zoomed in to see the problem. Israel is still in control of the region. Hamas was elected to be a representative for the people, not rule the land. If they were in control like you claim, they would be able to build ports, freely travel to establish relationships with other nations, have an embassy, etc. I think we can all agree that if you are an elected official without the basic governing principles such as attending summits with other countries, you are not in charge. Side note, in order to even be alive when the election was held you would have to be 17 years old. Not to mention an additional conservative 15 years to actually be old enough to vote. So we are looking at roughly anyone aged 32 or older potentially voted during the 2006 election. If 50% of the population is under 17, and let’s assume another 25% from 17-32 years old, we’re left with 25% of the people currently there voting in the election. That does not include anyone who has been killed in the 17 years since the election. To say they were elected would be the same as telling American teenagers “well you guys voted for George W Bush”.
Lets say you're correct, Hamas as the rulers of Gaza were given billions of dollars including from the UN, USA, Qatar and you guessed it... Israel - where did all of that money went? Answer - went building terror infrastructure. Why are the palestinians so poor? Answer - money went to the leaders pockets. Why are Hamas leaders not in Gaza? and are hiding in Qatar, Turkey and other muslim countries? Answer - They want to keep the palestinians oppresed, so they'd continue leeching money and living in luxury while their people suffer.
In 2022 the UN General Assembly passed 15 resolutions condemning Israel. In the same year there was one on Iran, one on Syria, one on North Korea. Every year there have been double digit resolutions condemning Israel. Over the years there have been hundreds. The Palestinian authority has never been Condemned by the UN.
The "you are one of the good one" line was lowkey genius, especially delivered on the fly. That's the phrase white people would say about black people back in the day, it's like saying "you are an exception, but we both know these folks are savage, but I'm glad with you, look at you how you are different from those subhumans".
It also plays into the desperate need of every one of these despicable media personalities to want to appear as if they're on the "right side" of every controversial issue in history because they know they've always lacked basic morality when spewing "facts" on air. They know deep down the bs atrocities enabling "facts" they're broadcasting to millions of viewers in their massively influential positions are actually just biased opinions/interpretations of the wealthy people behind the camera signing these media personalities' paychecks, thus lining their pockets with millions of dollars in blood money.
The networks/hosts so desperately wants to portray an image that makes the audience they're subliminaly trying to influence feel as if they've always been on the right side of every topic so even if they've said some terribly consequential things in the past, calling them out on it in front of their audiences will automatically trigger a defensive reaction from the interviewer along with the executives behind-the-scenes (who are sometimes yelling directly into their earpieces to rebuke the interviewee's comments) then spin their words into a narrative that make the network/channel look "morally good". Then they quickly pivot to another topic before the audience can realize they just glossed over a ton of the negative, but factual and correct, things the interviewee just said about them.
In my opinion, the best way to breakthrough this is to do it exactly how Bassem did. Just agree with them and say "no, you're one of the good guys," to publicly ease their consciences in front of their audiences/viewers then let the audience stop and think for themselves whether or not the interviewer has been one of the "morally good" sources of information in the past before allowing them to half-heartedly counter your facts then pivot to a different topic, which seems to have become second-nature to some of the personalities including Piers.
The look on their faces after you agree with them instead of trying to argue is my favorite cause you can visibly see they aren't prepared for this and now need to let the speaker continue the dialogue they just unsuccessfully tried to interrupt. They always look like they need a moment to process what just happened and regain their thoughts 😂
Didn’t know you did heavy shit like this and I really appreciate it.
I disagree when Alex said that the conflict isn’t related to colonialism . Is settlement expansion within occupied Palestinian territory [in violation of international law] not colonial in nature? 😅 Let’s use our brains 🧠 The Israeli government has been a loose cannon flagrantly engaging in unlawful settlement expansion in the West Bank, in plain sight, for years . And the international community have been calling it out for years. This isn’t an opinion. These are facts. It’s been condemned by Amnesty International, the United Nations, and *Israel’s own Supreme Court* … and yet…the settlements continue. I don’t have a dog in this fight, but let’s at least get _those_ facts correct.
That comment about temporary tent cities immediately made me think about the film District 9 (worth a watch if you haven't reacted to it already Alex). I won't pretend to know what the solution is for conflicts like this. It's easy to think that one or both sides can take a moral high ground and negotiate or compromise but in reality these issues are so deep rooted. I hope some solution is found for the sake of the civilian population on both sides.
I absolutely love your reaction , I highly recommend watching round 2 of this interview, bassem youssef made a lot of good and interesting points in both interviews and I would love to hear your thoughts on it
Everyone is encouraged to watch the latest video between the same Piers Morgan vs Bassem Youssef on Piers Morgan Uncensored. Watch those containing to have the clear idea on the issue
Great reaction. Highly recommend you also watch the Round 2 interview between them. 2 hours long, but it goes in depth on a lot of issues.
hello. im a palestinian guy who has lived in the west bank n i do indeed have some experience about it all n know what exactly been happening. and just to let you know about the peace in west Jerusalem u talked about. the west bank agreed to it. however, israelis kept on jailing kids and people and still controlled all jerusalem and never left palestinians alone. i lived that experience and actually lost alot of family members bc of it. another thing i dont see the media talking about which is an event that happened recently where israel told gaza civilians to evacuate to the borders and proceeded to bomb them on the way there. this happened before they cut the food n the water on gaza.
Israel has no claim to that land. None whatsoever. Do some more research.
Bassem Youssef led us to your channel, and I've got to say, you are a curious mixture of Freddie Mercury, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dannie Richmond (Charles Mingus' drummer).
It's the SDJ glasses. lol
😂😂😂😂😮
Mad respect for you on covering this sensitive issue. And also, welcome to the unsolved conflict since 1948. This is a quite a spiderweb of a topic you're dipping in here.
Bassem: Whats the gentleman's name ? Pierse: Jeremy BORING ( not an innocent question at all haha )
😂😂 yes
“Groceries are dick high!” I fell out of my chair, f***ing hilarious 😂.
You must see round 2
It will clear a lot to you
Thank you, Alex for bringing this message to us.
@46:17 Did anyone catch Jeremy while he is nodding with his head refusing to take any questions from Bassem and based on it Piers finished the interview with Bassem
You know what, it seems so complicated because its Palestine and Israel. Try to truly imagine that its Russia and Ukraine or its the US that is experiencing what Palestine experienced in 1948. It is really not that complicated -the retaliation that happened on the 7th October. Its a tragedy, but you cannot expect people to be civil when they live in appalling oppressed condition for decades. How can you expect Palestinians to just accept living like this, because believe me, you wouldn't.
watch the second interview it describes the whole history of it
The problem is yes it's a problem of colonialism
Take it up with the Brits and Turks then.
My only criticism of you is you did not mention the issue in the West Bank. Israel illegally occupies the West Bank and years after year increased its force displacement of Palestinians to build illegal settlements. Both the occupation and settlements are against countless UN resolutions.
Settlers have been killing Palestinian villagers even before 7/10.
Israelis them selves noticing the increase of right wingers. Just look at who Netanyahu has placed in ministrial position. Ben Gvir was exempt from the IDF not because of injury but fear of his blood lust.
Israeli had been protesting Netanyahu before 7/10. He was investigated for corruption...
In regards to Palestinians experience, it's apartheid. Separate policing, Judiciary discipline, Checkpoints, Building Permit delays or denials. The only Palestinians with weapons are Hamas. While Israel have equipped Settlers. One of the reasons why IDF weren't able to respond, was they were busy keeping an eye on settlers.
No Hamas in the WestBank, no weapons, yet Palestinians killed.
The discrimination they experiencing is very much like South Africa and Jim Crow era.
Btw children are in prison for throwing stones.
Look into Tom Hurdall, Rachel Corrie death.
Also your grandparents would be looked at with a side eye, they would be forced through different routes. The right wing want to stop such marriage.
In Hebron, there are streets that have been cut off for Palestinians. Roads they had businesses in.
Let's also remember the weapons being used in Gaza. Check what white Phosphorus is. The Israeli response was they didn't sign the agreement to not use it.
If you want to watch an old documentary about the nakba, Tantura is a recording of Israeli veterans talking about what happened.
Louis Theroux Ultra Zionist documentary. The shady way homes are taken..
Well done Alex.....My brain hurts trying to figure this thing out.... it is medieval. It goes back thousands of years.
It’s really not that deep. Arabs and Jews lived peacefully together in Palestine until the formation of the state of Israel and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. This conflict is decades old but not thousands of years old.
@@nosmokejazwinski6297 This current conflict might be decades old, but the claims on the land are much older.. And as an outsider I feel like I can't make a fair judgement when both sides say "we're just defending ourselves" without trying to oversee the entire history and look into all the arguments both sides are making, which is a lot!
@@m.m.2310I would recommend you to google the Balfour Declaration (1917) to see how Britain gave away land that wasn't theirs to give to begin with. Also, the only Jewish member of the cabinet at the time (Edwin Samuel Montagu) opposed the declaration. The idea of the Balfour declaration was antisemitic. Arthur Balfour (who was the one pushing for the creation of a Jewish state) had described Jews as "an alien and hostile people" and he also sponsored legislation to keep Jewish refugees out of the UK.
I would also recommend you to read about the nakba (very important) to get an actual understanding of how long Palestinians have suffered. I think it's absolutely necessary to understand what people mean when they call this an ethnic cleansing.
@@m.m.2310 Well, Jews didnt have any claim to Palestine for a long time up until relatively recently when the zionist movement started. even then, most religious jews opposed the idea because according to the Jewish faith they are not allowed to create a nation of their own. Ofc there were many different Empires and states claiming and conquering the area just like pretty much everywhere in th world. But the conflict between Arabs and Jews is a modern anomaly in the grand scheme of things.
If one side is actively genociding the other while keeping it besieged in an open air concentration camp for decades, it is clear that this is not self defense.
Simply put the "entire history" doesn't matter. What matters currently is the conflict since the formation of the state of Israel. Israel has no claim to this land because it never previously existed as a state. Jewish people shouldn't need a state for themselves, they should be able to live among other religions just like other religions. They are capable of this as seen in so many countries around the world. The problem is the state of Israel and the fact it wants an ethnostate with nothing but Jewish people in it. It is not a muslims vs jews issue, it's the evil state of Israel vs people.@@m.m.2310
“The purpose of war is to defeat your enemy” - a horrifying line. We have international rules in place for war to keep them from being too horrific…we progressed as a whole…they’re essentially justifying any level of violence
You should watch the newest interview with Piers and Bassem, its very informative in my opinion.
Oh wow haven’t come across your videos in a long while. So glad you did a reaction to this
I love your reactions man in Egyptian like bassem he did another interview with morgan and it's even better you should watch it it's explained A lot of miss constipation about Israel
I was 14 reading about young kids being shot by soldiers and I’m now almost 22 and it’s a full blown genocide that’s near it’s tenth stage- 💔
I like the fact that you are the only RUclipsr who went to research before reacting to the interview 👏🏻
Which is not the case for 99.9% of western RUclipsrs.
I’m sorry but you’re wrong, this IS an issue of colonialism, they can’t come in as refugees and form TERRORIST groups, expel Palestinians from their lands, then years later offer them scraps of their lands and call peace. You said it clearly that you just skimmed the surface of the issue, so I’d suggest you do a little more deep diving on the history before you start naming who’s right and who’s wrong
If you look into the issue more deeply, you will find that it is an issue of settler colonialism and an apartheid regime, not a conflict between two countries
Hey Alex, thank you for own knowledge of what happened in Israel and Palestine, just to add more information that in Palestine theirself, they had two parties that seem different in way of thought. Hamas and Fatah and civil. So, Hamas is not Palestine as a whole
Dam bro. I found you movie reacts channel a few days ago and I’ve been binging and just randomly saw this. I didn’t expect you’d address this as well. Respect to you
That "If you live like palestinian, would you sympathize with your oppressor or would you sympathize with people that claim that they are a resistant even if they are a terrorist?"
Brooooo there's no way you would sympathize with your oppressor ever!!! NO WAY 😂
It's not a complex issue, people just don't want to solve it.
To those people who judge the whole conflict by what happened in October 7th... i just wanna tell you one thing and let it sink, when you get sick, you treat the root cause of the disease, you don't just treat the system, that how it gets worse.
Sadly this conflict is truly Biblical. It goes back thousands of years and may never be truly settled. Jerusalem is home to three of the world's major religions, and that's an oversimplification in and of itself.
Actually its not. Jews and Muslims lived together peacefully for centuries before the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. This is a colonial issue.
Only diseases can rival

when it comes to human death toll
@@samnabawy2731 I'm asking earnestly, are you serious?
@@ThirdFoot Beyond serious. I'm from that region and have studied this conflict for years.
@@samnabawy2731 "Our land" argument? you mean the overwhelming pile of rock that Israelis ACTUALLY turned into something instead of the nothing those that lived there for decades? As soon as that happened all those surrounding it were VERY interested in taking it over.
Okay, this may help:
Saying the whole thing started when Hamas got up out of nowhere and attacked Israel is like saying when the black slaves rebelled against their masters the story started then. Like the poor masters were sitting quietly in their homes and then suddenly the slaves attacked them without provocation. No, that would be ludicrous because the slaves were owned and used as slaves. So attacking the masters was a rebellion. Many other stories of resistance can be applicable to this. So like the Palestinian although they are not slaves they are occupied by Israel. Which means they are in an open-air prison. They have no rights, no say or control of their own lives. They are not allowed to leave as Israel controls their movements too. Why do you think Israel is able to turn off water, power, and food to the Palestinians? Because they control Gaza. The Palestinians have no rights in their own land. Even Nelson Mandela called Israel an apartheid state. Please google it. The African Union are against Israel’s apartheid state. It is 2023 a country can not occupy a people and then complain that the people are rebelling against them. Please guys do some research.
‼️‼️ THIS
Please learn your history. This is nonsense.
exactly. He won't - GOD BLESS ISRAEL
@@rycor9117 #freepalestine.
imagine , somone comes to your house , take it from you , and put you in a cell no food , no water and when you take your revenge they call you terrorst , that's the west media for you
Watch the next one face to face you will have a very deep history lesson
One thing about the mobility in Gaza. There is a border because if not - October 7th would've happen on daily basis. This is the reason Israel has evacuated all jewish villages outside of Gaza in 2006. And from then hamas dictates Gaza to death of isralis and Palestinians
I have been a fan to you since 2018. As a Palestinian living in israel (we the ones that they spared us and stayed inside) im glad you gave us a voice.
Few things to clear out. Prime minister of israel actually funded Hamas organization in Israel and it was a regime to rise them into power so they cause the terror by being provoked intentionally by israeli army in order to have an excuse to attack them. I know i sound very biased but for who cares, a few deep researchers will lead you to the truth. Its not a coincidence one of top military in the world didn't have response till 6 hours invade of hamas (food for thought).
The other reason why Gaza people dont just rebuild a happy state on their own because israel have control on them in the first place. They control their electricity, water, fuel, even food intake. Second reason, gaza people are not going to be satisfied by being independent on their current land, because basically israeli took our land in the first place so it's not fair to give up what's ours
By the way i highly recommend to watch the very recent second interview with piers and bassam
I have some doubts about you being a Palestinian Israeli, because of the way talk sound a little ignorant about the situation. The development of Hamas formed because of the secular Palestinian government, when I asked around Palestinians what they think of Hamas they told me "it's a terrorist organization" I asked many. I ask if they go as Palestinians to the Gaza they said "never, I am afraid" I asked around in the West Bank.
I got to say it spoke to Israeli settlers in the West Bank, my of them I'll say more then 20% are foreign Nationals, they said the Arabs should leave I asked them to where they said "they are poor let's give them money and send them to Jordan" I argue with them saying they have the same rights as you why should they leave.
I believe they are the Israeli problem the same as Hamas is the Palestine problem, between me and you you know there are problems on both sides.
The Israeli government is very aggressive towards minorities such as Arabs Hasidic Jews Ethiopians and so on
Apartheid state is not the state of Israel I lived there for a year, I saw many things against minorities I was once in the police station in Jerusalem, if you know the area, the Russian compound, the police officer that was at reception was Arab Muslim, I asked him, the one upstairs was Christen, the one that helped me that was the most fluent in English was Jewish, I had to come back to her because she wasn't there a day later I was 3 Arabs and 1 Jew, and a argument between a husband and wife was settled by the Jew that didn't even speak Arabic, so it is not an apartheid state
@@Informy113 I am an arab Israeli you cannot make me doubt my identity lol.
Secondly, arab israeli have way different mindset than west bank arabs.
Lastly, you can't compare to what you saw in 1 year to what I saw in my whole life living here.
As arab in israel, they're treating like second citizens. Ye they will claim we gave you the right to vote and work but all this bullshit just to justify themselves behind closed doors. Man as an engineer, i have to work 3 times harder than average jew to find a job in engineering because of discrimination and racism that they dont want to hire arabs. Heck, some arab doctos and teachers were jailed for supporting palestine on social media (not supporting hamas but supporting PALESTINE people). There are some jew locations that publicly don't allow arabs to enter. Man they treating us like black people in USA during 1960's. Yes they cancelled slavery but still treated black people in 60's like subhumans.
Couple of problems here.
While Netanyahu is a scumbag and with the behavior of a terrorist himself.
This whole "he made Hamas what it is" has as much merit as "Israel founded ISIS".
It's a pattern, as Arabs like to put their own problems on others.
They also claimed back in the early 2000's that the good ol' US of A helped create Al Qaeda.
I really appreciate that one as a Pakistani born Muslim.
Really sold that!
I loved seeing my family suffer and a lot of it be killed because America made Al Qaeda.
Amazing.
Until there's concrete proof that Netanyahu DID in fact helped create them, i will treat all of them as i treated Al Qaeda being made by the US.
There's plenty of reasons to hate the guy, no need to make stuff up there.
Different itself from who? International law give the right to any nation under occupation to remove it, so basically Israel have no right to defend
Bassem is brilliant.
Alex, i love this video. Keep doing stuff like this from time to time. ❤
please Watch and reat the part 2 of the new interview with Piers Morgan and Bassem Youssef from 2 days ago, and you will discover a lot of things and information that may shock you.
Bassem was "surgical" in his use of dark humor to get to the "heart" of what matters to him. Couldn't resist, man. Seriously, though, I think what has been lost in this particular conflict is that some are pro-Israel, some are Pro-Palestine and many are pro-civilian.
Please check out part 2! It’s brilliant.
The land your talking about was Palestine and the people lived there were Muslim, Christians and jewish there never was a place call Israel😒.
You should watch the second interview with them together
It is colonialism and to try to deny that is extremely ignorant at best. It's not _only_ colonialism, but you cannot deny that it IS a part of the issue. You cannot compare both sides equally when: one side has the support of Western powers such as the U.S. and the U.K. while the other side does not; one side can control the water and electricity and fuel and agriculture and fishing of the other side; one side has an army while the other does not...i could go on.
Justice is a prerequisite for peace.
Thank you for this. Good job being objective about both sides as well. Here are my thoughts.
-Jeremy Boreing says there's no moral equivalency. Well, he'd be right, but not for the reason he thinks. The reason there's no moral equivalency is because Israel are the ones who created the conditions for this current phase of the conflict to blow up. This is not a defense of terror. Only people who don't bother thinking it through would describe it that way. The attacks on Israeli civilians is admittedly horrible, there's no reservation about that. But to say that that's where this conflict began is ludicrously false and shamefully dishonest. I mean really the bias there is just blatant. It's also easy to shred apart, which more people should start doing. Given that the issue began with the occupation of Palestinians by Israel, and that the Palestinians have been living in subhuman conditions and have been being bombed, kidnapped, killed or kicked out of their homes for the past 70 years, yeah, there's no moral equivalency. Israel has done more wrong. This fact must be admitted before anybody can take people like Jeremy Boreing, Ben Shapiro, or their likes seriously. Their stance is a dishonest one. Supporting Israel does not have to mean misframing the conflict and lying through one's teeth.
-Israel isn't interested in wiping out Hamas. Not as its primary goal. Its primary goal is obviously to rid Gaza of its Palestinian population and annex it. How do we know this? Because first of all, Hamas is more than a group of people. It's an ideology. And the Israeli govt knows full well that the more innocent civilians it kills the more oxygen it'll give for the fire of that ideology to burn and expand. Secondly, the Israeli govt *itself created Hamas*. It made sure to fund it so that it would become powerful enough to win out against the PLO and take over. This way the Palestinians would be prevented from ever obtaining statehood. That part has worked in their favor so far; the Israeli regime under Netanyahu didn't want the Palestinians to have their own state, and they haven't been able to do so. What they did want was for the Palestinians to be subjugated so that Israeli govt could control the entirety of Israel and Palestine. We can see this happening before our eyes right now. Just look at the Ceaseless bombing and incessant killing of civilian life, almost half of whom are children. Look at how Israel told the Palestinians to move south only to bomb them from the sky when they listened. The church bombing, the refugee obliteration. And that's just the beginning. It is obvious what their end goal really is. Hamas is just a pretense for that aim.
-This could turn into a regional or broader war. I don't want to speculate too much on this, but it seems like that's where it's headed. And there again, Israel will pretend to be the victim. But it's losing the public sympathy war. Palestine is winning that one by a long shot, and the more Israel murders babies, children, and innocent civilians in the thousands, maybe tens or hundreds of thousands, the more it'll continue to lose.
-One last thing I'd like to add is that there are people on the ground on both sides who are much more human than their govt. In other words these are human beings with a good heart who just want to live in peace. And who each don't want to annihilate the other side. We mustn't forget these people. There are Israelis saying they stand against what Israel is doing in Gaza right now. There are Palestinians that have expressed their sympathy with Israelis who are suffering from the horrific Oct 7th attack, and are even condemning Hamas. And people from both sides are showing solidarity with each other, looking at the bigger picture. Hopefully the worst won't come out of this already abysmal situation. Let's see what happens. Keep making great videos like this, I've subscribed to your channel. Much appreciated.
This is about colonialism and it happens when you think the other side are not even human which has been said by the israel government.
He used his brain correctly
Right at the get go if the video, no Israel has absolutely no right to the land. The first civilization in the land was by the Kanaans, the Arab ancestors, hundreds of years before Abraham was born.
It's true that there were some kingdoms left be the sons of Israel in Palestine led by prophets David and Solomon, but it was NEVER exclusive (or even majorly) populated by them.
Fun fact: after the Romans expelled the Jews from Palestine , they were only able to find back after the Muslims freed Jerusalem from Rome.
