"Israel Is Not A Democracy" - How Corrupt Government & Media Is Lying To You | Dave Smith

[@shehzadskhan82]

Thank you Dave. Brown guys like me can't possibly recount the issue like you have without being accused of all kinds of craziness. I commend you for your integrity and courage here, especially given you don't have any direct need to touch this issue like you have.

The entire world knows by now that Israel is the greatest apartheid state on the planet. This has been known for decades but sadly never really been reported by legacy media.

[@peterhoffman4129]

An apartheid state that allows the Israeli arabs to join the army, has arabic as the official language together with Hebrew, has all the road signs written in Arabic, Hebrew and English, has the Israeli Arab supreme court judge put former President Moshe Katzav in jail for sexual misconduct. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about :) Have you ever been there actually?

A good interviewer asks questions that give the guest the room to say what they know. I think Tom did a very good job of posing the right questions to give Dave the leeway to reply to these commonly believed misconceptions about Israel.

[@KayLeb-dj4mz]

​@elephantintheroom5678 some effort to project neutrality, but yeah nah, there was bias in the way he tried to construct a couple questions. An early one, and the silliness from 18:00. You could observe Dave being patient and seeing right thru it, on both occasions. Edit: Also 23:30. He may be uninformed but he can't claim ignorance - the whole Palestinian population is being held hostage.

[@elephantintheroom5678]

@@KayLeb-dj4mz I agree that Palestinians are being held hostage, and attacked by home-invading, state-sanctioned terrorists, who self-label themselves "settlers." But you don't understand that a good interviewer plays devil's advocate, and poses the questions that give the interviewee the opening to examine and deconstruct the views of the opposition. A good interviewer doesn't just air their own views, like in an echo chamber, conversely, they create an intellectual space where people who may not already agree may be convinced. By asking the questions he did, Tom did a fairly good job of that, in my view.

[@shanaazbennett4628]

​​@@elephantintheroom5678 I think the way Tom poses the question gives away his bias and that's what people are picking up on. It's all good and well to play Devils Advocate, but to view the opposing opinion as compelling or smart just shows his true feelings. I can't shake the feeling that it has to do with the ethnicity of the Palestinians for him but he didn't say anything to allude to it, I just can't shake the feeling

Tom and Dave are strong and brave intellectuals but they do not adequately address the root cause of terrorism. They say as a matter of fact that there are Arab terrorists who are always a threat to Israel without adequately exploring this issue. Were there “Arab terrorists” in the region before Israel’s establishment in the region? Arabs and Jews lived side by side peacefully for generations before Zionism disrupted that peace. Resistance fighters like Nelson Mandela and the IRA were branded terrorists in the past, this is no exception unless you have an inherent bias against Arabs and Muslims, unless deep down you believe the propaganda about Islam and violence. Please reflect.

[@turkishpro1]

They want us to forget that it's land(and resource) grab at the core. It's NEVER been about Hamas.

[@elephantintheroom5678]

This is all about Empire, and supremacist colonisation of resources. It is part of a line of Middle Eastern fossil fuel resources that America has stolen. Look at where US "bases" are in the Middle East. In Iraq, in Syria, the "bases" are next to oil fields. Even the Ukraine war is because US fossil fuel interests were about to develop large gas reserves in the Donbas, and it conflicted with Putin's plans for future fossil fuel hegemony in the region. The Godfather of both of these wars is US fossil fuel interests (and Putins). The rest is the cover story.

Tom, I reject the premise Coleman Hughes (who I'm usually a fan of) laid out that the Palestinians are Hamas's people. Hamas is NOT the government of Palestine, there have been 0 elections since 2008 and half the population is under 18 years old. Israel controls that territory way more than Hamas does (imports, ports and skies). Doesn't that make the Palestinians Israel's people? I know the pro Israel side wants to collectivize the people in the region as terrorist sympathizers for obvious reasons, but I don't see how anyone buys that. Give them their autonomy and if they still attack you declare war on THEIR country.

[@yogevlifchin2232]

You can’t have a serious conversation about this topic unless you’re willing to accept that one side are Europeans of the Jewish faith that went to another’s land and instead of sharing the land, it was taken and the indigenous people were placed under an occupation.

[@briangriffin8106]

The Irgun were the creators of modern terrorism. And their progeny is the Likud party. israel is and always has been a criminal terrorist organization.

[@marcusbridgewater280]

You can't have a serious conversation when your don't understand the region or the facts. Allow me to correct some of your mistakes: "Europeans" = people with levantine DNA (a Russian jew is genetically closer to an Iraqi Kurd than to an ethnic Russian) who have *thousands* of years of history in Israel, including a temple over a thousand years older than the entire islamic religion. "Europeans" = ignores the fact that the *majority* of jews in Israel are non-Ashkenazim; they come largely from the Diaspora of jews kicked out of neighboring arab states (that's an *actual* ethnic cleansing you will never talk about) and would be considered "people of color." You vanish them in your attempt to write a narrative of Israeli jews as "white" "europeans" "Indigenous people" = arabs from the Arabian peninsula who, in the 7th century (thousands of years after jews were in Israel) slaughtered their way through the upper arabian peninsula and into the levant, genociding literally dozens of different tribes and peoples, and then building a mosque on top of the holiest site in all of judaism. Also, people from neighboring countries ("Al Masri," one of the most common Palestinian surnames, literally translates to "the egyptian" - because many of these folks are simply descended from a huge immigration influx into the region *after* jews started to make the swamps and desert regions viable and began to institute plumbing, filtration, etc.) You are either ignorant of these massive influxes of non-jewish immigrants into the region as jews began to make the region attractive, or you are intentionally avoiding the subject. And, of course, you're ignoring the fact that the JNF and such actively *purchased* land, ignoring the fact that the vast majority of land was public, *government* land, to be distributed as per the governing entity (at the period, the mandatory power), etc. It's like your only understanding of this issue is a picture book or a tiktok reel. "Occupation" = Israelis exercising their sovereignty under the international legal principle of Uti Possidetis Juris, wherein the sole country to declare independence arising from Britain's abdication of its mandate (Israel) inherits the borders of the last topline governing entity in the region. You will throw the term "occupation" around because you don't know what it means. When Jordan occupied Judea and Samaria from Israel, and renamed it the west bank, THAT was an "occupation," because the land was part of Israel under both the Uti Possidetis Juris principle AND the San Remo conference, which was incorporated into the UN charter (resolution 181 was a non-binding recommendation, so it doesn't actually have any bearing on the legal basis for Israel one way or another). Why on earth would it be considered an "occupation" for Israel to win it back? If Ukraine wins back the land occupied by Russia right now, would we consider the recovered Ukrainian land to be occupied...by Ukraine? This is the sort of ignorance required to be an israel-hater: you need to be utterly unfamiliar with the ethnic makeup of jews, ignorant of historic timelines, ignorant of international law... The reality is, people like you are legion. Some of it is consanguinity (a lot, actually), much of it is old religious hatred masquerading as ethics, a fair bit of it is anti-western inclinations taking the form of anti-Israeli performance art, because Israel represents, to much of the world, an "outpost" of the "west," etc. etc. This is why China / Russia find it so useful to mobilize their people - who couldn't care less about human rights - into the issue (ramping up social strife in the US is a win for them). So there's a few billion of you. You can yell loudly. You can repeat lies in an echo chamber all day. But history doesn't change because you're ignorant of it. I'm just sorry you have to live in an alternate reality.

@@marcusbridgewater280 I wasn’t sure if I should waste my time reading your one-sided narrative. Half of it is completely trash. Can you be ethnically Jewish? Is being Jewish passed through blood? So if my dad was Christian I’m by blood Christian ? If I was born in Lebanon and I’m Christian, does that make me Roman? Or can I go to Rome and claim the land based off my religion.

You just explained exactly why I have more anxiety now I live in the US more than when I used to live in an unstable place like Egypt. Naked and simple evilness is easy to deal with and once you go home and close your door, you feel safe. In America, I fear every time I open my mailbox or receive a phone call. The complexity of the deception is on another level. Few people know how to sue others or scam them remotely in Egypt although the streets are fall of con artists who can steal your clothes without you feeling, including kids. It’s that constant thread that you can’t shut down even when you are behind closed doors that wracks your mental health. At least, we know the way to the corrupted officer in Egypt, get $$. In the US, you mostly don’t have an access to rich people’ high profile lawyers even if you have the money to buy. Another analogy is insult in the Middle East is very direct and people end up with physical fights. In a places like Texas , you think people are angels for being too nice and cordial but you don’t understand that they are being passive aggressive, and they are actually insulting you behind that fake smile. It hurts more when you don’t understand it immediately, nor expect /prepare for it. There is something about that calculating rational evil that’s more unsettling to me now.

Thanks for this. ❤ The way ppl excuse genocide of the basis of ‘Well I don’t like their laws or religion so 🤷🏻‍♀️’ is so disgusting. These are children they are bombing. We are disgusting to support Israel.

I usually look up your videos for updates! Our government has no idea how people are suffering these days. I feel for people with disabilities not getting the help they deserve. Thank you Ms Rachael Campbell, imagine investing $12,000 and received $305,500.

[@ANDERSON-q8e-b8v]

You're correct!! I make a lot of money without relying on the government. Investing in stocks and digital currencies is beneficial at this moment.

[@BillyMitchell-j2u]

GOOD CONTENT !!! Very engaging right from the beginning These are tough times and frankly I appreciate how you discuss global finances in such a delicate way . Business and investment

[@ANDERSON-q8e-b8v]

Ms Rachael Campbell was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Rachael Campbell

[@Dejones-z2D]

She must be really dedicated and well trusted for people to talk much good about

[@Linda-martinez-m4i]

YES!!! That's exactly her name (Rachael Campbell) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺

[@maxpbeaumont]

Israel is at war with a leadership who have expressed they want to do October 7th over and over again. There are extreme people in the Israeli government right now, but Israel is mostly full of people who want to live in peace. It’s hard to do that when surrounding countries have wanted you off the map.

[@dant3175]

Eye for an eye would solve this conflict, but Israel's policy is thirty eyes for an eye.

Free free PALESTINE FROM the RIVER TO the SEA. I think when Germany did what they did to them. USA in 1947 was not that powerful or popular was Britain was. The skills of the zios of that time were encouraged to home rebuild the banking in USA. Hence this great bond. Since everything is USA is owned by Zios.

[@coder001]

Dave Smith keep going brother

[@Hunter-zp5hd]

Here’s the deal: People, whoever they are, and whatever beliefs they have, need to figure out how to live together without killing each other. That’s really the bottom line here. Both sides of this conflict have treated the other side horrifically. What needs to happen, is that sensible people, that believe in humanity as a whole, need to get together, sit down, and figure out a way to share where they reside. The past atrocities have to be placed to the side. You can’t fix what was done in the past. Both sides need to stop killing each other, and figure out how to coexist. If this doesn’t happen, the death and destruction will continue. They can either choose to live in death and destruction, or learn how to live together. It’s no more complicated than that.

[@ArturVerdiev]

That sounds great on paper. Until it gets into implementation. One side (Hamas) is making its official goal to erase the other side. This small nuance blocks everything. When Hamas is no longer capable of fighting then there might be some talks.

[@itssteve6018]

I do not respect the integrity or intellect of people who actually believe that Israel is a "Democracy".

[@penzorphallos3199]

Im not sure why people are now suddenly realising representative democracy is massively prone to cronyism and corruotion but its great 🤣🤣🤣

[@LabelsAreMeaningless]

We aren't that either. The representation in a representative democracy, is representation of the people, not corporations or lobbies.

[@dekkerfraser]

The argument isn't so much about cronyism as the fact that people in the West Bank and Gaza have no voting rights for the national Israeli gov't
