Haifa is right on the border of the plain, I would say that it's not really part of it, since most of the city is a coastal cliff, rather than being flat not all of the seaports are on the coastal plain : the port of eilat is not on the plain at all 2. some of the things he said about the Negev are also wrong: a.none of the gaza strip is withing the Negev. b. the northern negev is also of importance : it hosts Be'er sheva, Dimmona and vaious other well populated cities and towns c. the eastern most area on the map : the thin stretch of land between the dead sea and Eilat is actually a separate region called "the Arabah". it's actually even drier and more inhospitable than the negev 3. what he said about gaza is extremely over-simplified: it's not "israel neglected it, therefore extremism". actually, israel had a pretty much open border with until the rise of Hamas. 4. some of what he said about the gallilee is also wrong: a.he completely omitted the southern half of the area- the lower gallilee from his map. b. his map includes the golan heights, which is actually a separate geographical region c. most of israel's agriculture is actually located in the northern negev and not in the gallilee. 4. about israel's lack of legal claim for the so called "occupied regions": while that is technically true, those regions were gained through wars of self defense, so I wouldn't exactly say that holding them is unjust. also, about them acting as defensive buffers: while that *is* true, I wouldn't say that israel *can't* exist without them. it has existed without them for the first 19 years of its life, and it was still fairly well defended 5. in 1948, lebanon also fought against israel 6. I wouldn't exactly say that israe no longer faces existential threats: iran is a very real threat, and lately egypt has been massively strengthening its army. while egypt and israel have a peace treaty, most egyptians citizens consider it an "on paper only" agreement, and a populist gov't may very well attack israel

emotional claims? im guessing you mean central banking, which is not a claim but rather facts. it is factual that 3 families are behind the creation of the federal reserve (technically 2 since one was killed off on the titanic) it is factual that madison refused the bank charter of 1811 and that Nathan Mayer Rothschild responded with "Teach those impudent Americans a lesson. Bring them back to colonial status." it is factual the Napoleonic wars started over the nationalization of Frances market (which includes there central bank) it is factual the protocols of the learned elders of zion was banned in every single nation except for Russia. it is factual the ussr charged Russian citizens with antisemticism if they spoke out against the government, which was punishable by death. it is factual that Epstein and most people around him were Jewish. it is factual the frankfurt school caused the downfall of American ideals

[@zeydabdurahman5009]

One may appreciate the geopolitical realities and imperatives without losing sight of the lack of a legal basis. The lack of legal basis is a weakness for Israel as it means that Israels survival depends on the law of the jungle: The strongest wins.

It doesn't make you (slkjv...) an expert on the subject if you write a comment like this on a video that someone has worked on for hours and then edited and uploaded for hours. Shirvan is a person who researches and presents the Geopolitics of the whole world. Maybe you know this much than him because you are a Middle East Geopolitics expert. It was enough to say that there are mistakes and shortcomings and give just a couple of examples. Such a lengthy and arrogant comment, in my view, only harbors malicious intent. And from here, those who read this comment can only deduce the purpose that is to vilify the channel owner. If you're a geopolitics expert and you see that many shortcomings, you can let Shirvan know by sending him an e-mail. Just because you try to humiliate him like that here doesn't make you a noble, an expert, or a great person. It just makes you a spoiled, an arrogant and a rude person.

Now that Israel is going to win the demographic war due to a surging population, the new plan will likely be to wait until there is a Jewish majority in the West Bank and then absorb it.

@mo poppe From a military standpoint you are factually wrong, most of the great wars of the past(48,56,67,69) were fought with 0 U.S support. the exception was the 1973 yom kippur war, but at that time the arabs had the USSR to balance the U.S. The real and most substantial help from the U.S is its diplomatic pressure and veto power at the UN security council. "birthrate alone of the arabs" that was once true(this is why Israel didn't annex the west bank) today its the opposite. Jewish birthrate surpassed the muslim one, and there is no longer a demographic danger to the Jewish majority.

[@user-fb1dr1pv7e]

После заключения соглашений в Осло (1993) возникла Палестинская автономия (Газа тогда была ее частью), и израильтяне начали поэтапный уход с оккупированных территорий. Это повлекло не только самостоятельность, но и разрыв части хозяйственных связей. Поэтому за первые три года частичной независимости ВВП сектора Газа упал на треть. Потом связи стали восстанавливаться, и к концу 1990-х жизнь вроде бы наладилась. Но в 2000-м началась интифада Аль-Акса (общепалестинская война арабов против евреев), и хозяйственные выгоды отошли на задний план. В 2005-м, чувствуя, что ситуация зашла в тупик, Израиль осуществляет так называемое одностороннее размежевание - эвакуирует из сектора еврейских поселенцев и выводит войска. После чего в Газе происходит политическая мутация. В 2006-м на последних свободных выборах там побеждает ХАМАС. А в 2007-м Газа под его руководством отделяется от остальной Палестинской автономии, в которой власть удержал менее радикальный, чем она, ФАТХ. Все функционеры ФАТХа, кого хамасовцы не успели убить, бежали через Израиль к родным палестинам, а Газа превратилась в де-факто отдельное государство, всепоглощающей идеологией которого стала борьба с Израилем на уничтожение. ХАМАС действовал совсем иначе. Он сразу объявил всех евреев врагами, войну против них назвал священным джихадом, а всю политическую программу свел к очень простой и понятной всем формуле - уничтожение Израиля и израильтян. Нападения на Израиль, ракетные и наземные, происходили теперь регулярно, но это уживалось с сохранением некоторых хозяйственных связей. Накануне нынешней войны Израиль бесплатно поставлял в сектор 70-80% потребляемой там электроэнергии и снабжал Газу нормальной питьевой водой - качество местной очень низкое. Из Израиля туда поступали также еда, медикаменты и топливо для местных предприятий. Во-первых, Израиль не мог перекрыть границу Газы с Египтом, и именно через нее в Газу неформальным порядком проникало довольно много всего. Поэтому ракеты там все равно производились, и в огромных количествах, а бункеры по-прежнему сооружались, нравилось это Израилю или нет. Спору нет, сначала интифада, а потом приход к власти ХАМАС резко ухудшили жизнь в Газе. По мнению Международной организации труда, к 2020-му подушевой ВВП там был на 40% ниже, чем в 2005-м. Но дело даже не в таких подсчетах, которые применительно к Газе достаточно умозрительны. Движение Газы к сегодняшней катастрофе было довольно последовательным. Другим системообразующим фактором стала деятельность UNRWA, Агентства ООН для помощи палестинским беженцам. Его финансируют в основном страны Запада, а многочисленных работников (это тысячи учителей, врачей и других служащих) оно набирает на месте. Именно в активе UNRWA очевидные успехи образования и медицины в Газе. Но попутно оно избавило ХАМАС от многочисленных невоенных забот, по существу сделавшись его гражданским подразделением. Никакого контроля со стороны западных спонсоров над ним нет. Обучение в школах подчинено идеологии ХАМАС и осуществляется в атмосфере исступленных идеологических накачек. Третий важнейший фактор - демографический взрыв. Население Газы за последние 70 лет выросло в восемь раз и достигло 2,1 млн. Сейчас рождаемость идет на убыль, но новый народ уже возник. Совместима ли нынешняя его численность с крошечной территорией (360 кв. км) - вопрос к специалистам, которые, по-моему, не знают ответа. Четвертый фактор - внешнее финансирование военной машины ХАМАС. В первую очередь, иранское. Но средства, поступающие из Катара и других стран, не прямо, так косвенно, идут на те же цели. Поэтому у режима ХАМАС есть редкое преимущество. Он не нуждается в домашней экономике, которая бы его содержала. Его гражданские потребности оплачивает ООН (а до недавнего времени также Израиль), а военные - боевые товарищи извне. Из этого вытекает пятый фактор - любая хозяйственная деятельность в секторе Газа, не завязанная на агрессию, в глазах режима выглядит чем-то вроде необязательного приложения. Больше половины рабочей силы - безработные, получающие от ООН и других спонсоров убогое, но достаточное для пропитания пособие. А те, кто где-то занят (их 250-300 тыс.), либо служат в частях ХАМАС и других боевых организаций (только их суммарно около 50 тыс.), либо трудятся в военном строительстве и кустарной военной промышленности, либо обеспечивают хамасовскую машину необходимыми ей услугами. Тех, кто вне этой системы, просто меньше. Кто-то из них бежит из Газы (примерно по 10 тыс. в год), кто-то пытается выбраться в Израиль, кто-то барахтается в остатках местной экономики. Важно, что режим без них всех легко может обойтись. Три предварительных вывода 1. У режима ХАМАС нет не только идейных, но и материальных мотивов для какого-либо мирного перерождения. Он вполне гармоничен, опирается на семидесятилетнюю местную традицию и может быть либо уничтожен, либо сохранен таким, как есть. Перевоспитать его, комбинируя давление и уступки, невозможно. 2. Сектор Газа как целое и его жители порознь не имеют никакого опыта мирного существования за собственный счет. Имеющиеся у большинства из них навыки нацелены на отправление идеологических и боевых практик, а не на труд обычного типа. Предоставить их самим себе в надежде, что они как-то справятся, нереалистично

Excellent analysis, Shirvan! Israel is literally stuck between a rock and a hard place. Blame the British for not ensuring that the Palestinians had a home too, but also Israel needed to consolidate its borders, but this had the effect of removing Palestinians from their lands. Both nations have a right to exist in peace (yes, I regard the Palestinians/Palestine as a nation), but the balancing act is so tricky that just normalizing relations with Israel's external neighbors is a massive challenge, in and of itself. Internal politics are hard enough to overcome, especially with a hard right wing government in charge. How in the heck do you normalize relations, get the Palestinians onside, defend your borders and yet appease your own population at the same time? Especially a population so hard wired into the notion of being under threat at all times that any change in policy could come across as a massive risk? The psychology of it alone, is utterly frightening. TL;DR: the whole thing is utterly fucked.

[@MrMakabar]

You move the Palestinians from the West Bank to another place(the Golan heights are pretty solidly under Israeli control.. We are talking 2million people, that has been done before. The question is were to move them too. Maybe Sinai, if Egypt attacks again or Jordan. Maybe another country also could take them. Sudan could use some Arabs to strengthen control on Dafur. That would obviously worsen relationships with the Arab world, but Israel would be pretty secure. That would allow for improving relationships with the Aabs. The security also would lessen the percieved threat and move the population more to the polictal center.

After losing much credibility during the conflict, the peace deal granted Russia image of being in power. But it is only an image. Russia has lost main rope with which it had control over Azerbaijan. Nagorno Karabagh and 20% of the territories were limiting Azerbaijan to act more open in regards of foreign policies. 2000 Russian peacekeepers will not have same effect, especially that they will be monitored by Turkish military. Russia has lost in Armenia. Even if current political turmoil will bring down Pashynian government and pro-Russian government is put in, it is only a matter of time that Armenians will realize and start blaming Russia. Russia has lost it's global image of reliable partner and the countries that previously considered Russia as guarantee of their safety will think about it twice now.

Russia showed other countries ( US, France ) that without its decision it is impossible to make smth.

In the rest cities Azeris and Armenians will live under control of Azerbaijan, but Russian peacekeepers will be there for 5 years. ( In corridors and some stations ) Armenians can go from Armenia to not liberated territories, after peace keeping mission completed, Azeri refuges will come back to territories like Khankendi/Stepanakert ( which isn't liberated, but any other ideas like Artsakh didn't accepted and it stays as a part of Azerbaijan.

[@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447]

1. it isn't objective : he clearly expresses some opinions " the control of post 1967 territories is unjust" " the middle east is an area without justice" etc. 2. his research was very bad and he made many basic mistakes: 1. a lot of what he said about the coastal plain is wrong: his map of the coastal plain is wrong: it does NOT extend as far east as is shown, it's only 10-20Km wide and jerusalem is well outside of it (something like 40 KM outside). also, technically the plain extends as far south as Rafah, though that's not exactly part of israel proper. also, israel can be divided into much more than just 3 regions: the coastal plain alone can be divided into 4 sub-regions. Haifa is right on the border of the plain, I would say that it's not really part of it, since most of the city is a coastal cliff, rather than being flat not all of the seaports are on the coastal plain : the port of eilat is not on the plain at all 2. some of the things you said about the Negev are also wrong: a.none of the gaza strip is withing the Negev. b. the northern negev is also of importance : it hosts Be'er sheva, Dimmona and various other well populated cities and towns c. the eastern most area on the map : the thin stretch of land between the dead sea and Eilat is actually a separate region called "the Arabah". it's actually even drier and more inhospitable than the negev 3. what he said about gaza is extremely over-simplified: it's not "israel neglected it, therefore - extremism". actually, israel had a pretty much open border with until the rise of Hamas. 4. some of what he said about the gallilee is also wrong: a.he completely omitted the southern half of the area- the lower gallilee, from his map. b. his map includes the golan heights, which is actually a separate geographical region c. most of israel's agriculture is actually located in the northern negev and not in the gallilee. 5. about israel's lack of legal claim for the so called "occupied regions": while that is technially true, those regions were gained through wars of self defense, so I wouldn't exactly say that holding them is unjust. also, about them acting as defensive buffers: while that is true, I wouldn't say that israel can't exist without them. it has existed without them for the first 19 years of its life, and it was still fairly well defended 6. in 1948, lebanon also fought against israel 7. I wouldn't exactly say that israel no longer faces existential threats: iran is a very real threat, and lately egypt has been massively strengthening its army. while egypt and israel have a peace treaty, most egyptians citizens consider it an "on paper only" agreement, and a populist gov't may very well attack israel

This channel really is one of the most detailed and researched of all. Excellent work!

[@afanasymarinov2236]

This is such a valuable video. A very intelligent, objective and very understandable explanation of Israel's politics regarding the occupied territories from the viewpoint of geopolitical security. Excellent.

really nice overview without screaming at the "other side". rare on youtube. thanks.

This is as cookie cutter and official narrative as it gets...

[@dannyarcher438]

@@BoqPrecision offical narrative of who? He literally just presents the geo politics of Israel, just as he does the other countries. No narrative just strategy.

[@BoqPrecision]

@@dannyarcher438 wrong...this is just what you'd expect from someone not wanting a strike on his channel or even his channel terminated. Nothing geo political was avant garde or insightful, might as well be straight from Wikipedia or the US state department, just read in a nice exotic accent. This channel is meant for impressionable 18-24 year olds who think they have a clue anyway... not for real geopolitical analysis

A very balanced and honest report - as all of your video's we watched. But especially on this so much polarized topic related to the Israëli-Arab conflict, a great professional achievement. All the best. Çox sağ ol!

Israel also is able to protect itself by making smart preemptive decisions because it has developed the most organised and effective intelligence agency in the world.

[@tameenhaque2285]

Not to mention bipartisan support in American political ecosystem. Most of these "preemptive decision", "organized and effective intelligence" can happen when there's a symbiotic and back and forth industrial connection with Israel and US. IDF veterans aren't simply working in start-ups tel aviv or Haifa. Many of them goes to NYC and Chicago as an extension of their workplace. Israel has access to resources in US in ways even US military doesn't.
