As an Israeli I thank you for this video from the bottom of my heart. I’ve been looking for anything remotely objective and could only find propaganda of either side. I’ve spent my life protesting the government I even got arrested for fighting for Palestinian rights but I did feel betrayed by the global “left” who seemed to be going so far left it was already becoming Palestinian “right” or nationalism. My vision for peace is exactly what you guys did. That everyone needs to acknowledge how fucked up everything is and how true both narratives actually are . My moms grandfathers grandfather was murdered by Arabs in 1888 that’s pre-Zionism. I still believe now more than ever in peace. I hope that Palestine will be free- but they have to redefine what Palestine is cuz it can’t abolish Israel. Never gonna happen . I hope one day there will be no countries like Lennon envisioned… Perhaps consider making a similar “both narratives” about the history from 1850s to 1948. Again… it was fucked up in many ways and both narratives are true. I hope that if many people actually educate themselves on both narratives and a balanced view then the next generation can make peace.

the issue with this conversation is that its just a conversation.. everybody knows what the issue is, but no one seems to have the solution. we let things escalate to a point where conflict is inevitable and then try to find who is to blame for... happened with ISIS and Syria, then Ukraine and Russia, now Israel and Hamas. Next will be China who is poking everyone and if someone pushes back, they will be made the villain, they occupied HK and no one said a word... UN is one of the most useless organizations out there..

[@Lifeneverlost]

[@besherhamad2462]

This is a perfect example of postmodernist morality. Acting as if the issue is too complex to understand, that there is no clear line between the victim and the murderer, as if both sides have a just cause. Add to that the Westernized view on ''outside conflicts'', as if the ''other'' live in a bubble of subjectivity and we can see things objectively, yet again, from an objective perspective, we still can't decide who is on the right. This shows that the West has lost its moral compass and the moral high ground that it stands on when ''teaching'' the world what is right and what is wrong. If you use your brain for 5 minutes you will see that the Jewish issue is created in the West, that anti-zionism does not equal anti-semitism, and that Israel is a state of evil that is built on a history full of massacres, racism, apartheid, displacement, and war crimes.

[@carlosgil9886]

They are just a bunch of forever-young cowards. The world has spoken and is evident. Israel is a colonialist murder and Hamas is the result of Israel crimes since the occupation in 1948.

This is a great conversation, much much needed empathy which is greatly appreciated. Speaking personally, I had no opinions or feelings on this conflict until October 7th, and since then, I have done a tiny bit research on it, and while I still don't take one side over the other unilaterally because it's important to never forgo my right to change my mind given new evidence, information, or perspectives, I must say in response to your final statement that you called for a ceasefire that I was in full agreement with you until I found out less than a week ago that they were in a ceasefire since June or July of this year until October 7th. Maybe that changes things, that's all.

[@areeshamudassir5412]

a ceasefire would stop the killings of innocent Palestinians. More than 20,000 are already dead. What more can you possibly want? Israel is not just attacking Gaza, it's also bombing Lebanon and Syria. There is no peace without freedom. Why could Israel limit Gaza's trade activities and ban items like chocolate and coriander is beyond me. Those 1000 lives were innocent but what about the 20,000 ones. were they not? they talked about an Israeli 8-year-old, what about the thousands of Palestinian children?

Yet Israel is celebrated as a symbol of "freedom" and "democracy" despite having apartheid, deep racism built into the foundation of the country, and actively committing ethnic genocide for decades. They have support all across the West thanks to religious fanatics and zionist power/money influence.

People in my own city are calling for my death and the deaths of my people. On top of that, people who are supposed to be smart call for our deaths, too. At this point, I want to move to Israel because at least there I belong even if it isn't the safest place in the world. I want peace with the Palestinians, but I also want a safe place to run to where I belong. I want to go back to my homeland, which is historically Jewish.

@@apersonontheinternet915 I always believe that when we choose the path that feels right in our whole essence, then things will fall into place - such as finances, friends, family, chosen family, romance, etc. The universe/God your angels and spiritual team will do all that is possible to bring you all that your heart desires and to take care of you in all aspects. All you need to do is trust. One thing I can tell you, is you will feel the togetherness if you do decide to come. It's a warm feeling - especially now. And hey, if for some reason things don't work out as you had hoped, you can always go back, right? Always listen to your heart and calling 🙏🏻🌼 You are never alone, remember that💙💕💕 Good luck with any path you choose. Sending you much love, light, warmth, happiness and peace 💕🦋🕊😊.

Please search before Jewish rule who were actually arab Jews from Iraq and Egypt. Jews ruled for 400 years and it’s not the same Jews that are from all around the world. Before the 400 years of Jewish rule, it was the Canaanites and Egyptian New Kingdom which were Arabs. Israel tries to choose the timeline and attempts to eliminate the actual history. Also, DNA testing is banned in Israel due to this reason.

[@hodihodi9272]

Love this open and honest conversation, as someone not involved directly it's heartbreaking to see both sides so divided and frustrated. Hopefully this will lead to changes, the leaders of both sides have to commit to change one way or another.

[@rhetoric5173]

There is a mistake. Of the 1400 lives, it is not clear what fraction was military and what fraction was civilian. on October 7 11 military bases were raided. 1

[@hodihodi9272]

@@rhetoric5173? What 1400 lives are you talking about? I don't care about numbers, fact of the matter is that a war is beginning to unravel. A war that has gone on for the past 75 years but has never seen this level of brutality until now. It's just sad, no matter what side you support.

Thank you this is exactly how I feel about it and this is such a great conversation, I am a black jew from east London, my mother is half jamaican and my grandmother is a 2nd generation polish jew from East London and married my jamaican grandfather in the 70s and my nan mother and father fled Poland during holocaust in 2nd world war and came to east London so the stories I would hear on both sides as my nans stories of antisemitism and my grandfather rasicism because he was part of the windrush generation, so I do feel Isolated not only as a black man but as a jew aswell and it's nice to hear your thoughts out loud. Now I am having interesting conversations with both my family and pro Palestinian friends of Muslim background. Let's have peace and love and once again thank you.

I think they did a 100% amazing job on the emotional aspect for Jews and Palestinians. But yes, they missed some important things in the substantive discussion and Israelis provide counterfactuals to each of those points:

[@xlDysenterylx]

How is THIS the most thoughtful and compassionate conversation I have heard about this conflict to date? Thank you, gentlemen, for asking the right questions. As a veteran, I have seen firsthand the monumental difference a change of perspective can make. As Americans, it is unfortunate that so few of us ever leave our own borders. We are left at the mercy of other people for everything we understand about our world. That is its own type of imprisonment.

[@haimshoham]

A brave attempt at seeing and acknowledging both sides of the coin mate! Much more enlightened and deeper than the common narrative, much respect for that. And that thing about that voice, that whisper Jew's hear from that past, that worst nightmare you refused to accept still exists or a possibility, pretty spot on!

[@011baer]

As an Israeli I'm grateful for this conversation. The approach you guys took shows your values, that you put humanity high up and that's all we can wish for. Utmost respect for how mindful you were to address both sides, with humility about how much you do and do not know. This war is a nightmare come true for our country. I can only imagine the pain on the Palestinian side. The reality is that both sides are engulfed in pain beyond comprehension right now, making a conversation extremely hard to be had. The time will come, it must, only way peace and progress can be achieved. Our lives are consumed with this conflict, and we want to see it end so badly. It'll take the brightest minds years to navigate through the complexities to achieve some sort of resolution that will favor Palestinians and Israelis. Until then - I would ask anyone that's not directly related to the conflict, please please please TREAD LIGHTLY. Although you might not be part of the conflict, you definitely have on an impact on the conversation that broils and the hate it incites. The stances you take, the "facts" you share, might very well add flame to the fire. Respect our pain, be an ally and lead with empathy. May we see peace in our lifetime
