[@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447]

this coverage is really not good, he made A LOT of mistakes: some remarks: 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 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

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.

This video is a rare example of good journalism - presenting both the good and bad sides of the story, describing the actual facts without strong affection to one of the sides. Thank you for your efforts

[@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447]

"This video is a rare example of good journalism" it really isn't, he made a ton of 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 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

[@fatirkuh]

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.

[@mamulaavto]

@@DonHrvato If you compare the picture before 27th of September and now, Russia is not a victor in any way. 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. True victor here is only Azerbaijan and Turkey. Which not only liberated Nagorno Karabagh, but also got access path over Armenian mainland.

[@igla8970]

Russia showed other countries ( US, France ) that without its decision it is impossible to make smth. Russia will be the key of future of this conflict, but if you need an answer, it is an Azerbaijani victory. 8 City has been liberated ( I can be wrong ) , Include Hadrut town where Armenians were majority. 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. And Azerbaijan gained a road from Azerbaijan to Nakhchivan.

[@СергейВампир-л6в]

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

Philosophical Inquired: Are there really any rules and norms when it comes survival? Great video, the one problem I have is that the territory Israel conquered from 67 isn't ipso facto internationally illegal. There is some contention regarding who the aggressor was, for example closing a trading route (ships going and coming from Eilat) has in some cases been viewed as an aggressively hostile action which would justify a country to respond with military force and there for allow it to capture lands as the defender. If this extends to Israel then the lands gained in 67 were under defensive pretenses and there for internationally legal. I'm not saying this is the case, I am saying that its not obvious that it isn't.

[@colombiansRul3s]

Palestinians had to abandon rules and norms for their survival

[@idansim1]

@@colombiansRul3s I mean everything is much more complicated then it seems, but here is another question for you. If today Palestinians fully abolished their military infrastructure would Israel tomorrow genocide and exile them? If Israel did the same thing would Palestinians genocide and exile them? I'm not saying that there aren't good people on either side nor am I say there arnt bad. But on the scale of survival I'd argue that Israel is in a MUCH risker situation then Palestinians. Here is additional proof, if Israel wanted to they could erase the west bank and gaza tomorrow and yet they don't. And vise versa, surrounding arab countries and Palestinians have repeatedly attempted to wipe Israel off the map. So it comes down to how you define survival, I define it as a matter of life or death, I'm not entirely sure how you define it, let me know.

[@LordJagd]

@@idansim1 Your reframing of this entire situation into a particular definition of "survival" shows how much mental gymnastics people need in order to support Israel.

[@idansim1]

@@LordJagd I suggest you look into it some more and do your own research. There is nothing I can say to you that will convince you that this is the situation so instead of arguing in a KZbin comment section please just go read up on the Palestinian National Covenant (Written by the gov. of west bank) which talks about destroying Israel. Go look at the preaching's of Hizbala and Hamas. Go look at what Iran thinks of Israel and what they have done in the region. I hope that helps point you in some directions.

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.

The only peope who understand the Middle East are those who live or have lived there. As an American, I first visited the region in 2006 as a civilian traveler. Everything I knew changed. Instead of conflict, I found friendship, brothers, and sisters. Some write off the region as one of endless war. But there is so much more.. If you think you know something about any place in the world, plan a visit. The experiences you'll have will enrichen your life more than money and possessions can do, and widen your perspectives in ways you can't imagine. Praying for love and peace between all of the peoples who call this beautiful piece of our planet home. ❤️🇺🇸
