Israelis will never admit that they are partily responsible for Hamas doing what it does.

Hopefully they will get some must needed freedom

You can say that. And what Israel is doing is making sure those bad apples multiply for years to come.

Both societies have bad apples.

Dont you think recognizing Palestine, ending apertheid, ending occupation etc will help Hamas become less and less radical to the point where it either evolves to a legit party or is replaced by a more normal stage blue party. i think it is a better solution. Otherwise you just radicalize new Gazans and it is a never ending cycle.

That is like 1 guy. Jeez... There will always be bad apples.

Israelis also celebrate murder of childreen and all that sick stuff. It goes both ways. For God's sake why do you always ignore that? I have seen countless footage with my own eyes of Israelis being happy that innocent people on the other side are dying, and even before the October attacks. Both sides hate each other to death, Israel is not above this. The difference is that those Israelis that celebrate have not had a family member killed meanwhile Palestinians have. Since the ratio of dead is usually 50 to 1. https://www.timesofisrael.com/watch-far-right-israelis-celebrate-gaza-kids-deaths/ https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/25/world/middleeast/ali-dawabsheh-arson-death-israel-wedding-video.html https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20230510-israeli-settlers-celebrate-airstrikes-that-killed-children-in-gaza/ Here you have proof, not just empty words from me. I cannot imagine how a first world developed rich country can have such cruel people.

How many Afghanis did they kill? Afghanistan is already an established state, they have somewhere to go. Where are Gazans supposed to go? Gaza is not Israel, so why should they be expelled? Pakistan is removing people from its own territory. Israel is not removing people from its own territory. It is going on someone's else territory and removing the people living there, in land that is not theirs. Stupid comparison. What Pakistan did would be like Germany decided one day to kick out all the Syrian refugees living in Germany. What Israel is doing would be like Russia going into Moldova, and kicking out all the Moldovans from the country. It is not the same. If Pakistan went to Afghanistan and started kicking out people living there then it would be a totally different situation.

The irony is that the group of the people that probably treated Jews historically the best (Arab Muslims), are the ones getting the worse treatment by Jews. They took you as refugees and historically did not put you in ghettos or mass murder you like European Christnians did. Yet, European christians are the "good guys" for Jews and Arab Muslims are the enemy. Contemplate that Jews lived next to Arabs in the land we call Palestine for centuries with far far less problems than in Europe. The hatred against Jews came with the creation of Israel which Arabs saw as a illegitimate theft of land cause by the great powers of the time (UK, USSR, USA). If Jews started oppressing Germans, that I would understand. But with Palestinians, it seems very unfair. What do you think?

‘The machine did it coldly’: Israel used AI to identify 37,000 Hamas targets | Israel-Gaza war | The Guardian Read this before making claims like that.

His point is that just like Israelis called all Gazans "responsible" for the Hamas attack, you can also flip the switch and say "All Israelis are responsible for the atrocities that lead up to the Hamas attack". It is a flawed logic that just dehumanizes people and rationalizes collective punishment. I am sure that just like many Israelis find all Gazans responsible and complicit, many Gazans found those Israelis that Hamas killed responsible and complicit. I know you personally do not find all Gazans complicit but I was referring to the larger phenomenon here. If someone thinks Gazans at large are any more guilty than the Israeli civilians at large that Hamas killed, then they are delusional and biased. Both sides are equally innocent (or guilty however you wanna see it).

‘The machine did it coldly’: Israel used AI to identify 37,000 Hamas targets | Israel-Gaza war | The Guardian Read this. It is from a Western media too, using leaked information from an Israeli newpaper. Tell me after reading it, if Israel is actually trying to minimize civilian deaths.

What is best for Gazans and Israelis is that right wing people including Bibi are punished and replaced with more liberal green people. The current Israeli government is stage blue, a stage green would benefit everyone.

You do realize the "significant unjust damages to Gazans that isnt necessary" is what we call war crimes and is punishable under international law. Especially considering the scale of the conflict here, it entails literally thousands of civilians, hundreds of children's and countless buildings destroyed which was not necessary. So that part alone which we both seem to agree with is enough to arrest him on fair grounds. I see, to be honest you know Israeli internal politics much better than me since you are from there. I would be curious, I saw countless protests recently wanting him not to go to Rafah and accusing him of failing to bring back the hostages. So many dont want him. Where does his support come from? From the far right radicals? Because I remember you saying they are not more than 5-10% of the total population. What am I missing here?

Bush was the president of the US. The biggest superpower of the world. BiBi is a prime minister of a small country with 10 million people. There is 0 reason for him not to be trialed. And the ICC did launch an arrest warrant for Putin. I doubt you can make the claim that Israel is any near as powerful as Russia is. All it has going for it, is USA support which can be cut off if the US feels that Israel and especially the BiBi government is becoming too much of a burden. Note that here I am not talking about US abandoning Israel but more about abandoning BiBi and his radical right wing government so they can be replaced by a more moderate government that would benefit Israel and the Middle East at large. It does not seem to me so impossible to do. I dont know what you think.

Bibi with his other war criminal croonies must be punished according to international law. Regardless of whether it is a genocide or not, it is beyond question that collective punishment and countless war crimes have happened. People responsible must be properly punished for this. Otherwise, it sends to the world the signal that if you are diplomatically supported by the West, then you can do whatever you want. That is not the world anyone wants to live in. Just like you Israelis want the Hamas leaders that did the October massacres punished (I totally understand the sentiment), the other way around works as well.

@Merkabah Star To think Palestinians need to deal with lunatics like that guy on a daily basis in the West Bank. Imagine that lunatic also being backed up by the army. Then they wonder why terrorist attacks happen. Not that I support the attacks but against such lunatics you do not have much choice I fear, especially when the law and army are against you. I feel like that guy's mindset is very common for the settlers in the West Bank which is where the violence happens. Nobody cares if Tel Aviv Israelis are peaceful since there is no settlements there.

I have read that the ICC is making a case to arrest top Israeli officials for war crimes. Do you think that should happen and do you think it will actually happen? I think most of the IDF elite and key Israeli politicians like Ben Gvir, Gallant and Bibi himself should be trialed for war crimes similar to how top Serbian officials were trialed for the Bosnian and Kosovo war crimes. What do you think?

Just the fact that we actually have mass graves and people are still questioning whether Israel is comitting war crimes blows my mind away.

@Merkabah Star + The guardian article I sent which says UN has not said the half number thingy. So there seems to be some confusion here about whether UN said it or not. Guardian is British media btw, you cannot call them "anti Israel"

@Nivsch The funny part is that even if it is true (Can you please send us sources from UN itself so it can be fully official), that would leave the kid death toll at around 7000. So still 175 times more than Israeli kid death toll. And this is at this moment. It will increase more since they seem to invade Rafah. So still unacceptable. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/13/gaza-ministry-revises-figures-for-women-and-children-killed Also I found this. There seems to be conflicting information about this issue

He seems quite pro Israeli to me. Especially in some interviews. In others he is indeed more centrist. There is a reason why so many people attack him over his views regarding this conflict. Considering critizing Israel can get you fired in British Media (there are cases of it happening when Israeli officials were pressed too hard in interviews) I do not blame him to be honest. I do not think he is racist as some say, just is limited in what he can express.

It would be really cool if you made a video about capitalism and how it compares to other systems to explain this stuff. I tried to do some research but you seem to include deeper points so it would make for a good video in my opinion. "Understanding capitalism" or something like that. Just an idea I had Also welcome back, I saw you made a new video.

I was referring purely from an economic perspective, not social rights perspective. We are told that we are richer today than in the past and when I read how easy it was to carry a family back then economically wise, it makes me think that was a lie. But I am referring here to the US; In other countries like India China etc life is definitely way better now from an economic perspective. I wonder where all that wealth went in the US considering US is like 10 times richer today than in the 1960s. Does not seem to go to your average American.

I have read that in the past in the US you could easily sustain a family as a working man, working a normal factory job. Housing was also way cheaper (relative to the wages). These days you need both the man and the wife to work and even then it is a struggle. One of the main reasons why people are having less kids. Has the purchasing power decreased?
