Living the Price of War: How Our Family Found Hope Amidst the Chaos

[@סיירתמטכלשלום]

Thank you for having Haviv on again. His perspective is important. It has been a rough year, for sure. G-d willing, all of the remaining hostages will be returned swiftly and soon. Amen.

[@spyrop.8428]

There's a lot of people on KZbin who speak on this topic, and I've spent countless hours watching, but if I had to pick only one to recommend to someone it would be Haviv. He's been incredible, anyone interested in this conflict must watch his two lectures "The great misinterpretation" and "The Jews who lived through history". The first explains the Palestinian side and the second the Israeli one, and by the end you really feel that finally you start to understand where both are coming from, and maybe how you would feel in their shoes, in true human terms, instead of just historical and legal facts. Highly recommended.

[@cellosubmarine]

Absolutely seconded.

[@inka12877]

100% agree. I check KZbin daily to see if any new conversation was posted with him. He is incredible and fair and so knowledgeable and articulate. His soft spoken manner and voice is so therapeutic… ✡️🇮🇱

[@serpentines6356]

I haven't watched this video yet.... Wondering...I read that Hamas attacked because Israeli soldiers had been harassing women at the mosque.

[@Rojomanzana438]

​@@serpentines6356 lol don't be gullible

[@spyrop.8428]

@@serpentines6356 dount it, this was not the kind of attack that could be launched spontaneously, it took years of planning.

[@tomambrosio5527]

This was incredible. The first interview with Haviv got me to subscribe and read the Times of Israel every day. I could hear you two talk for hours and hours. Thank you!

[@StormDAleph]

Jack, you should have Einat Wilf and Natasha Hausdorff on your show. Two brilliant Israeli women that explain the situation. Natasha is an expert on International law and Einat used to be one of those Leftists that supported the Oslo Accords and woke up to the reality of Palestinian society and extremism.

[@modify.d7160]

She is very good and speaks well, but again she is part of the 'Ha Elita' (The elite class) and that perspective has been given to much influence and exposure already. Would love to hear from people that were of the left and 'WOKE UP' like 'Gadi Taub' or 'Irit Lenor'.

[@someguy261]

Both great guest ideas!

[@izzykhach]

​@@modify.d7160I love Gadi Taub and his weekly show with Mike Doran

[@cellosubmarine]

I just discovered Natasha Hausdorff yesterday somehow, and I’m so impressed. I’ve been learning as much as I can for a year, and I feel like she’s wildly increased my knowledge just since last night.

[@talkfmn]

@StormDAleph Natasha Hausdorff is British. @@modify.d7160 Taub and Linor are not "right wing", They're both self proclaimed pro-Bibi propagandists, what in Israel we call "Bibistim". They are known to spread mis/disinformation meant to make the Israeli public hate the oposition to the current government, and prevent Bibi from being forced to take responsibilty for his failures that led to Oct 7 and resign.

[@ryanjones4917]

Excellent conversation, I appreciate the candor.

[@tricyclejesus4572]

Cannot wait for the third installment - I could listen to Haviv for hours and something about being on this particular podcast brings out the best in him..

[@AHamiltonScrip-wx1rj]

Thank you for the interview with Haviv Rettig Gur. I try to follow all of his interviews. This was a particularly good interview. “People only see war when it fits their politics.” - Haviv Rettig Gur

[@ntheg]

What a fantastic interview... thank you!!!

[@DianaBarshaw]

"We lean on each other or we fall" true!

[@j.walker7990]

Have this guy on every month.

[@shinershows153]

This Haviv guy is awesome

[@modify.d7160]

Great interview. Would love you to interview Zvi Yehezkeli. He is a famous Journalist who has intimate knowledge of not only the Arab world, but the Muslim world in general. He is famous for his documentary series going undercover into the Muslim world in Europe and America.

[@eliezerbenabraham6117]

Yes. ! Einat Wilf.

[@raphael3666]

very excited for this. Haviv is one of the most thoughtful voices in Israel

[@inka12877]

Yes. 100%. Very fair and knowledgeable and so intelligent and articulate. Great reporter

[@TheGweilo701]

Don’t apologize for pointing out the incompetence of our government. Incompetence is about all the US Government is good for lately.

[@yarninisrael]

Excellent interview 🙏

[@helloworld-x3s]

Excellent interview. I’ve watched many interviews with Haviv and I find him to be thoughtful, balanced and empathetic in his approach. Not sure if you realize Jack, but at the 1:45:58 mark, your Outro is over the audio of Haviv’s voice for about 15 seconds.

[@MishMichaeli]

Wonderful interview. Thank you.

[@thaddeuscrane8235]

I am reading Black Saturday after watching your interview with Trey.. excellent book! This interview is packed full of excellent facts !

[@lizbethglickman2725]

Haviv has earned tremendous regard in many educated circles for a reason. Here he is at his best. Although taped prior to Nasrallah 's demise. Stay well, dear Haviv. שנה טובה.

[@chpella]

Fantastic, thank you.

[@Lime61318]

Incredible interview and guest. I’ve never heard of him before, but will certainly listen out for his voice!

[@wickedlylong1015]

I could listen to Haviv for hours…. thank you for this interview gentlemen

[@potterj09]

Oh my, I'm too old for this.

[@usbconnections]

Good Interview

[@KrispyCREAME805]

The end was the only positive thing i have heard in a year about this situation. I have never hear about Ra'am (United Arab List), but this seems like the best path. Violence get you no where, a hard lesson to learn. Democracy and Demands.

[@rachelari1271]

Thank you❤

[@henri-0]

Feels like this was recorded a month ago. A lot has changed in a month.

[@outdoorchilled7032]

Might get a strike from woke YT, but I say this! Standing with Israel 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@VincentFulco]

Thank you Mr. Rettig Gur. Very wise perspective.

[@outdoorchilled7032]

My prayers to IDF and the victims of horrific 10/7 🙏 Standing with Israel 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇺🇲

[@AnnushkaHal]

Incredible interview. I can't find a lot of Haviv's interviews in Hebrew. Sadly, a lot of what you're explaining to English speaking auditory, needs to be explained to many people in Israel in plain Hebrew. Lots of us just don't know or just tend to ignore history and facts.

[@alz.7716]

Thank you for posting this. However, it seems to be a month old in a very rapidly developing situation.

[@aaronkrasner6830]

This must have been recorded weeks ago

[@pontufle]

Those predictions about Lebanon and the cost of fighting hizbollah haven't aged well :)

[@jiftlig]

When was this recorded? Because he speaks of Lebanon as if the campaign hadn't yet begun there. Before operation Grim Beeper.

[@assafelron1]

I like Gur, and I agree with much of what he said, but you need to understand he comes from a left/center point of view. From a right point of view Netanyahu is the only one that stands strong vs the endless and powerful forces from within and from outside to stop the war and essentially lose it. Now that Israel is almost done with Hamas, and starts to win big in the north many voices (of "experts") on the left try to jump on the wagon but on the right we can't forget they called to stop the war. I do really appreciate that Gur admits the government handle the war itself well, it is not obvious for a left/center wing person to admit, most wouldn't.

[@NoamGub]

👏👏👏👏

[@StormDAleph]

Sounds like this was recorded awhile back. How current events changes so quickly?

[@lindacunningham9343]

Well said sir. God bless Israel

[@tzvigrossman1872]

33:10 ... Nothing happened ? Pretty sure that America was threatening to withhold weapon shipments and currently are ... Unfortunately maybe Bibi thought that by playing nice with the Americans he could secure a better setup for the future ... Unfortunately that was a bad gamble in his last time but it's still very understandable that one would try to make sure their supply lines don't get disrupted prior to entering the war

[@canyoncajun]

"Wikipedia is your friend" Early life never lies

[@calighis]

Is there a transcript of this somewhere?

[@henri-0]

Which of jack’s books should a newcomer start with?

[@talkfmn]

19:15 Haviv is wrong. 17 y.o Aisha al Zyadna, and her 18 y.o brother Bil'al, of the Israeli Bedouin community in the Negev, were released from Hamas captivity on November 30 2023 as a part of the exchange deal. Their father Youssef and older brother Hamza are still in Hamas captivity.

[@Arouete]

These 10 page questions are really tiresome. Exactly what is the question?

[@Arouete]

Just couldn’t stay with it. The meandering poorly thought out questions and the obnoxious number of commercials is intolerable. Just couldn’t get through it

[@outdoorchilled7032]

Rumble

[@Arouete]

Haviv is one of my favorite journalists. I never want to miss anything has to say. However I’m not the least impressed with this amateurish interviewer and his mandatory long commercials peddling military style weapons convinces me this is not a place I wanna come back to. Sorry Haviv, I will catch you elsewhere

[@MoeMa4]

VIVE LA RESISTANCE ✊ 💚🤍❤️🖤

[@inka12877]

Rape and slaughter of civilians is not resistance. Disgusting and shameful to portray massacre of Jews as such

[@veridianacarvalho9209]

OMG, the hasbara is also going on here. I thought at least this journalist would give an honest interview

[@gg_rider]

Hasbara is advocacy. Palestinians have hasbara about "stolen land" which is entirely false because Jews paid Turks and Arabs for Land Titles. Palestinians have hasbara about "violence" which negates decades of unchecked Islamic mob violence against Jews prior to 1948 and prior to 1938, before Jews had developed sufficient self-defense and retaliation capabilities, so Jews were sitting ducks capable of running, hiding, and prayer. Trump & Kamala both have hasbara, positive stories.

[@Bigredfitnessmoshe]

Haviv is great , but he has a very strong anti bibi bias . People should be aware of this very strong negative bias.

[@talkfmn]

@@Bigredfitnessmoshe Haviv is extremely intelligent and insightful. His opinions about Bibi are very mild compared to the opossition camp in Israel. His opinions seem to be very weighed and calculated. I wouldn't call it an "anti Bibi bias" at all.

[@Bigredfitnessmoshe]

@@talkfmn I disagree with you. Obviously there are people who have stronger opinions than he does, but he’s made it very clear where he stands on bibi . He was writing articles about how evil BB was long before October 7

[@talkfmn]

@@Bigredfitnessmoshe I'm not familiar with stuff he wrote about Bibi before Oct 7, I based my assertion on this video and other videos I've seen of him lately on youtube. I'll have to look that up, but I have to say I find it hard to believe Haviv would use such language, based on how calculated and mild he is in what I've seen of him.

[@Bigredfitnessmoshe]

@@talkfmn he speaks with a gentle voice .. but his narrative is extremely anti bibi. That means people are not getting neural Israeli opinion . They are getting the opinion of someone who is staunchly left leaning , anti bibi . If you don’t get it, then it’s only because you don’t actually understand Israeli inner workings and politics .

[@bikerd12]

Israel needs to address urgently "catastrophic conditions" among Palestinian civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip and stop "intensifying suffering" by limiting aid deliveries, its ally the United States told the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday.

[@gg_rider]

Joe Biden had the US Marines drop off 588 metric tons of food via that ocean flotilla. The Marines working on humanitarian aid had to fight off Hamas who was shooting at them. Associated Press wrote that 588 tons of America's food was sitting in United Nations warehouses, because Hamas shoots at food trucks. There's food on Israel's border too. In the meantime, Palestinians publish selfies of lavish food parties. Israel drones spotted Hamas hijacking a food truck at gunpoint. After they drove clear away with their looted food, the IDF blew them to smithereens. Videos of Hamas killing starving skinny men for stealing food.

[@Vladimir_Putin012]

Haviv Gur🤡 the self proclaimed Expert.

[@darrencaughey111]

One might say that he has an insight and a right to that insight considering he is an Israeli who lives there.

[@בןמאיר-ג1ד]

That’s a weird comment 😊

[@bearowen5480]

Cheap shot! Mr. Gur's thoughtful remarks are an inspiration to the millions of people in the West who solidly support Israel's fight for self preservation and domestic peace.

[@Bklyngurl85]

hes a is a veteran Israeli journalist and the Senior Analyst at The Times of Israel for the last 20 years. Plus he's done the army and lives in the country. I think he knows something.

[@Mj19861]

Says "Vladimir Putin" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The irony !
