🤔 Dr Barylo, thank you for your wise words. I stand with 🇵🇸 as an atheist and humanitarian, hoping that eventually those in 🇮🇱 who are so fearful of ‘Others’ will come to their senses and recognise our common humanity 💐🕊.

[@williambarylo]

Indeed, justice has no religion!

[@iuvalclejan]

Many Israelis recognize our common humanity and are pained that so many people must die. But they also recognize (which you don't) that unless Hamas is disabled they themselves will be killed. It is a rational fear, and Hamas does not deny its intentions.

[@narologic]

Thank you Dr. Barylo for your wise words

[@williambarylo]

Thank you!

This is the missing link in understanding what is going on. Thank you excellent analysis.

[@azzyfreeman]

I immediately subscribed, great content and discourse, Thanks for doing this, thanks for taking the side of humanity

[@williambarylo]

thank you

[@AgentHashim]

Nice analysis here! I do agree we should spread peace and don't waste time on others that won't change their views at all. Also did you receive the mail which i sent you few days ago?

[@williambarylo]

Just did!

[@AgentHashim]

Can't wait for the upcoming videos you will cover, especially that topic which was mentioned there.

[@mariatod]

Wow, your channel is so underrated!! Great content to understand the human psychology in these dark times for humanity! I'm glad that you were able to change your mind (from childhood) and understand what's actually going on!

[@user-po7dn5yu9n]

Hello dr I have a request...if it's possible please make a video about Israelis hostage being freed...specifically about their mental health and social behavior...they have been hostage for 50 days and yet they don't show any signs of trauma...they even treat their captors in friendly manner Thank you

[@williambarylo]

That's an interesting topic indeed. I need to do a bit more research into this!

Super useful Dr. Barlo. Peace is the goal of my country's government. It's asleep 😴 though atm. I am working on changing my mindset towards implementation of Law of Peace in bureaucracy. I don't know if it exists really so I believe its new territory politically too. Many processes w.fees can be eliminated and streamlined. Our culture definitely understands stewardship of our lands from before European & American contact. I love your explanations about those circuits get turned off but turns on again with human interaction. That people will make an exception is a good first step. They should be challenged on extending it to the group. Keeping exceptions is mental effort.

[@CJ-xl3dh]

Dr Barylo. I really wish Piers Morgan had two people from the Israeli and Palestinian side like you to have a much more productive and balanced discussion for the sake of those on both sides who just need peace. Across all sides, the world needs more enlightened and balanced people like you🙏🏾. 🙏

[@williambarylo]

Sadly, the Piers Morgan show is mainly for entertainment and views. I haven't seen many historians or political scientists on the show yet!

[@bluelines1]

I would prefer the expert Dr to be able to speak calmly and rationally without being constantly interrupted by a disingenuous moron.

[@sopiananwari2766]

Before British came to Palestine, no hamas no killing 4000 children

It is also our failure as a muslim community that we failed to unite people & teach them the knowledge of Quran & sunnah. That leaves the room for some black sheep to manipulate masses among Muslims. That lead to a rise in sectarianism and violence in the name of religion. The same applies to the Israelis. Islam is the closest religion to Judaism in beliefs. For centuries, Muslims & Jews have been living together (with the exception of Jews of Medina who broke the treaty).

[@worththewatch1517]

Most Muslims nations’ leaders have been installed by the West and they are not democratic

[@YourMajesty143]

I'm Palestınıªn and don't think this has to do with our inability to "teach Islam". Palestınıªn Christians and Palestınıªn Atheists are peaceful, yet are still demonized and dehumanized. No one in Isræl is looking at Palestınıªn Muslıms and thinking "they're not well-versed enough in their faith". In fact, it's quite the opposite. It's Palestınıªan Muslıms who attempt to show humility & gratitude to their God, irrespective of the pain and suffering they feel. Not once do they curse their occupiers or allow their despair to embitter them, instead you see a steadfastness to remain hopeful despite their despair. This reduction of the issue to religion is an Isræli talking point and we shouldn't amplify it or legitimize it in any way. We know deep down that this Islamoph0bıa is simply a bigotry that attempts to project all flaws unto the victims, rather than admit that the flaws lie in the occupıers (who attempt to punish Palestınıªns for being different). Continued in separate comment for digestible reading...

[@YourMajesty143]

This is why it's important for Anti-Zio Jᵉws, Palestınıªn Christians and Palestınıªn Atheists like myself, to make an effort to speak up on behalf of our fellow Muslıms, bc our existence and our solidarity destroys the blanket stereotype of "Muslım extremısts" that so often gets projected unto innocent civilians. When we show diversity in faith, diversity in color (white, black, brown), and diversity in background (nationality, class, sᵉxuality, gender, education), it becomes extremely difficult for them to build caricatures of hate or to brand the Palestınıªn movement as anti-semıtes. Clearly, the common thread between all of us is our humanitarianism, which infuriates Zios who can't dismiss global millions so easily. It's the first time our narrative is given any opportunity to be heard, so we need to be careful about how we frame the root issues and their solutions. *Continued in separate consent for digestible reading...

[@YourMajesty143]

Lastly, we all have to be careful not to internalize racıst, anti-semıtıc and islam0phobic tropes as we learn about Zi0nist history. We also can't allow anti-semıtes to enter our safe spaces. They will drop their masks around you and expect you to co-sign their hatred bc they believe that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Don't fall for it. It used to be that we were so invisible, that we felt afraid to turn away any "allies". But this is a problem bc these bigots were never allies, they are infiltrators who wish to tokenize our victimhood in order to legitimize their bigoted philosophy - much like Zi0nism did with Jᵉwısh persecution. We need to be wary of such vampires and oust them from our spaces. You hearing islam0phobic rhetoric is causing you to wrongly internalize Zio hatred and your reaction is to rationalize the issue with "no true Scotsman" fallacies. Did you know that 85% of Hms are orphans? They all think they're Batman ready to avenge their families and protect the people. So even in the imaginary world where the resıstance learns Islªm according to your standards, the outcomes wouldn't change, bc the driving force behind their behaviors is the occupªtıon and oppressıon, not a misguidance of faith. I hope that makes sense.

[@ibujac-ne9pm]

thank you so much for your thoughtful and transformative video. everything you say is rooted in deep empathy and this must be by now a universal truth. beyond this, i learned so much and look forward to trying out some of your suggestions in the days to come. yes gandhi was right that each of us have to be the change but in the environment of the last few months we just don't know how. thank you for guidance. your voice is critical at this moment. please keep talking. be well and thanks again.

[@williambarylo]

thank you!

[@stevencohen8754]

Well done for looking at things beyond the current hateful rhetoric

[@williambarylo]

Thanks for watching!

[@FrogLehane]

You speak facts, I hope your videos reach more people. I'm not related to jews, arabs, or muslims, but I see how important it is not only to know these truths that you're saying, but also to have jews and israelis present in our media in a way that we can see them/you as human. Since october, I've seen many (good, reasonable) people flirting with anti-semitism and it's because we've been shown the ugly face of Israel (and international zionism) like never before. So it's more important than ever to know that not everyone is like that, it's just the consequences of an ideology that doesn't care about the "other", and also about the damage it does to its own people.

[@williambarylo]

100%!!

[@YeSureWhatever]

Hi doc. As a pro-israel orthodox Jew, I can see your analysis of the conflict seems relatively open-minded and fair compared to others I've seen but I have a few critical points to make. You mentioned the disgust that many Jew have for neturei karta in comments and explained it based off of an outsider discrimination psychology, but the fact is the main problem we orthodox have with them - aside from the fact that they've met with sworn anti-semites, holocaust deniers, and convicted terrorists and express support for Hamas - is that they distort traditional halacha and Torah perspectives while speaking in the name of normative mainstream rabbinic Judaism. This is something that hits hard emotionally for many, and isn't simply some sort of hateful human psychology. The second point I'd make is that many of the clips presented in this video of Israeli officials speaking, appear to be taken out of context, and, when viewed in they're entirety, can clearly be understood as referring solely to Hamas. Also bear in mind that in the heat of the moment, after the worst massacre on Jews since the Holocaust, it's almost understandable that some hot-blooded Israelis said things they didn't necessarily mean in the most literal level. That being said, good luck man. Respect

[@williambarylo]

Good points, thank you!

[@andrewfaniku]

As a psychologist, what do you think about the subliminal effect of recitation? Since childhood, Muslims are told to recite the Al-Fatiha, 5 times every day, and they continue their recitation into adulthood. Our words are potent. What we say repeatedly to ourselves is more compelling than what someone else tells us. This is why it’s almost impossible, to convince a devout praying Muslim, that God’s nature isn’t necessarily constrained into a singular entity, or that Jews are not cursed. What we repeatedly say to ourselves, regardless of its validity, becomes our truth and belief. What are your thoughts about the subliminal effects of your daily recitation ?

[@williambarylo]

As most Muslims don't understand Arabic, a lot of people recite prayers in a foreign language without knowing the meaning of what they recite.

[@greatindiandreams]

salaam from India Dr. Barylo i think you should be on PBD podcast with Patrick Bet David and present your case.

[@williambarylo]

Thank you

[@richardsreviews8820]

This was a thoughtful video. I agree that some of the rhetoric from Israel officials is disturbing. You said most are "thirsty for peace". I do not think Hamas wants peace. I am not sure how feasible peace is when Hamas is in power. At the end of the video, you talk about the complications of peace. What are the best suggestions you have seen for what Israel should do?

[@williambarylo]

Hamas doesn't represent Palestinians. I'm not sure anyone has the perfect solution, and it is for people to decide

[@andrewfaniku]

Hamas doesn’t represent Palestinians? who represents them? Are you the one who represents them?

[@minainmunda875]

My holy brother, you’re definitely a critical thinker that I relate to. I’m Jewish, so what’s a better suggestion in your mind so both sides will be happy?

[@williambarylo]

The powerful need to listen to the people who suffer. As long as the powerful prioritise political gains over people's lives, there will be no peace.

[@minainmunda875]

@@williambaryloisn’t it more complicated? The powerful say the weak are brainwashed trouble makers that won’t stop unless they get beaten hard, like the bad kid in the classroom (this is what I’ve been told) So who is the trouble maker here, who is the real rotten apple? If both on the same level, how much is possible to compromise by two agenda driven rivals? I’m asking because I really want to get closer to the truth

[@williambarylo]

At some point in History, there was no states at all

[@khirulaminur]

As you go back further in time you arguments resemble that of an infinite regress theory which has been propunded by atheists. Sticking to it will only delude you of your preposterous claims. If other groups or individuals began to apply this as the basis of land entitlements it will eventually lead down the roads of indefinite chaos, resentment, and hatred.

[@khirulaminur]

@@williambarylovery much true. What is a state but man made constructs defined by lines drawn upon a map. A supposed ‘safe heaven’ for zionists created by forcefully evicting the indegenous inhabitants since its inception, not to mention quoting a biblical land deeds of incredulous authenticity will not last. At some point in time in the future the more enlightened party will rebel and thus the cycle of violence will resume.
