[@hardeepgill3839]

this is a cool idea for a series, would love it if you guys did more from around the world

[@hedgehoggeneral330]

Agreed more around the world and not always those famous ones like the seals and sas

[@vessyYT]

Need to see one on the SAS I think Simon could make that very fun

[@markkwasny9650]

A nice cat . . .

[@einfisch3891]

I absolutely second this, hope it continues

[@diogeneslantern18]

Unbelievable that your writer didn't include Munich Olympics, the raid on Entebbe, or the Red Sea Diving resort as part of their operations.

[@javiermoya2801]

To be fair, those events has been covered so much that it may be why this video goes more into methodology rather than just regurgitating well known information

[@nocgod]

The Entebbe Operation (Operation Yonatan) afaik was not carried out by the Mossad but rather by various IDF units like the Shayetet13, paratroopers, Golani, 8200 intelligence unit and others. Raid has a negative connotation, as if the IDF assaulted them. In reality it was a brave, out worldish, james bond like rescue operation.

[@diogeneslantern18]

@@nocgod have you read the Letters of Yonatan Netanyahu? He was an incredible man and an immensely thoughtful writer.

[@ID-8491]

​@@nocgod Negative connotation? In Uganda?

[@nocgod]

@@ID-8491 I mean the usage of the word "raid" when calling this operation "Entebbe raid", gives it a feeling that the IDF attacked unprovoked.

[@baconater3824]

Please do more of this series. Besides obvious suggestions like the navy SEALs the Polish GROM, Canadian JTF2 and Danish Jaeger Corps/Huntsmen Corps would be cool.

[@adenkyramud5005]

German KSK and GSG9 (technically police but still interesting), the dutch commandos (not even attempting that one, i don't wanna insult our orange neighbors - this isn't football after all😂) would also be nice

[@adenkyramud5005]

Also on the jaeger corps theres a book by a former operator from that unit that you might find interesting. His name is thomas rathsack, the book's title is jaeger. But I'm not sure if it's available in english or not, i have it in german.

[@doscassette871]

Yes Canadian JTF2. They deserve more recognition

[@darthghengis]

You forgot the best of the best, the SAS,SBS AND SRS

[@RP-sm3iu]

SADF Recce Commandos

[@swampfox984]

I am all for a Special Operators series. And don't stop the Art of War series. This channel is easily my favorite of all of yours.

[@theinquisitor18]

OK. Continue this series. Please. This was incredible.

[@polumathes9729]

Brief correction; Proverbs is actually not part of the Torah, which is only the first 5 books of the Bible, I.e. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. The rest of, or really the whole of, the Christian Old Testament/Jewish Bible is known in Hebrew as the Tanakh.

[@DethFadeProductions]

Definitely keep this coming. As an American, I'm always curious to learn about the operators from other countries and hear some of the shenanigans they've pulled off.

[@just_a_turtle_chad]

These guys control America

[@Cokehead_Drug_Addict_Zelensky]

Check out some of the brave battles the IDF have fought against evil Palestinian children throwing rocks. Then check out how when they actually went up against a real army in Lebanon Hezbollah sent them packing with their tails tucked between their legs in short order.

[@cstew8355]

Your country is run by these! Also your police are trained by these too! 👍

[@davemccombs]

Then research it, don't take it from a glorified clickbaiter who just dolls up the wikipedia entry for something and records it

[@Cokehead_Drug_Addict_Zelensky]

@@davemccombs Reading Wikipedia articles to people too lazy to read them themselves is quite the profitable business on KZbin, apparently.

[@MrEnjoivolcom1]

You guys are truly pumping these Warographics videos out! Keep it going!

[@Pilsnor]

Its because youtube has an army of Simon clones

[@Perfectblue33]

I highly recommend the movie Munich 2005. I am surprised you did not mention this in your video about the Mossad.Thank you for uploading. Have a nice day!

[@jonathanspiliotis2289]

You should ABSOLUTELY continue this series! Great stuff.

[@FortyM1ke]

Great idea for a series Simon! Looking forward to seeing more of these.

[@mayalackman7581]

Please continue this series! I wouls love to see ones on the Green Berets, Army Rangers, and Ukrainian special forces.

[@samnemeth-smyth6109]

Please keep this going, I wanna see ones on the SAS, SBS, SRR and GROM

[@dfdemt]

YES YES YES! Do more of these videos covering special operations units/organizations.

[@AJ-tb5ho]

Absolutely continue this and please cover the more lesser known SOF units 🙏 so excited this is being done

[@user-sc9es4xj8j]

Please keep the series going. Mossad is so amazing! I love learning about special operators around the world.

[@BuddhaAfterDark]

KZbin algorithm is freaking sentient

[@TheHandgunhero]

Would love to see a continuation of this series for other major intelligence agencies, things like MI6, FSB, GSG9 etc.

[@dustm3907]

I've only watched 15 second of the video so far, but.. Proverbs isn't part of the Torah, its part of the Ketuvim

[@adamhebert5365]

Exceptionally excited for this series! Hoping to see GSG9 and the GIGN

[@badgames5025]

I'd love to see JTF2 from Canada 🇨🇦 always great to see the best of our country acknowledged. Love the series idea!!

[@frankknudsen842]

Please continue the presentations of these productions, they are absolutely wonderful. Thanks ever much

[@the9owls771]

Definitely do more of these! Would love to learn more about these kinds of groups from around the world.

[@mikemahon4594]

I really hope this becomes it's own series, I love to learn about these types of foreign intelligence/covert ops groups. Would love to see more!

[@natedcarr6148]

Simon, please continue this series. It is interesting and compelling, and I'd like to know about the different spec op groups in the world.

[@STANDINGCarabao]

Great series simon. Hope to have more special operators series from around the world. ❤

[@MrJstuart001]

Your presentation and information layout in this video is Excellent...!!!

[@josephfranzen9196]

Absolutely amazing episode! There’s such a plethora of Special Operations elements across the world, from the widely known US Delta Ninjas & ISA and the British SAS / SBS regiments to the lesser known South African Recee’s, Polish GROM, etc. The operational history of any one of these groups is fascinating. Post World War II the Mossad conducted various brilliant hits on Nazi war criminals who had escaped to South America as well as those who had been recruited by the Egyptians to advance their nuclear weapons program and ICMB development. You have to figure for every one operation that is publicly known, there’s a minimum of a dozen that will never be.

[@makeupbytzvetelina]

Love this! Looking forward to more Special Operators videos! This channel is amazing, Simon!!!

[@Rfcfan1996]

This series is what I've been waiting for on this channel. Love it

[@d.j.ashley]

Definitely continue this. Always helpful to know the players in the game.

[@chicagopablo2]

Mossad is awesome. They've done some pretty nasty things in the past (and no doubt even now), but the nature of that kind of work they engage in will attract anyone BUT Boy Scouts. Israel's literal survival depends on its aggression in protecting its people and way of life. God bless 'em. Would LOVE to see more programs like this, Simon!

[@ferdinanddaratenas3447]

Awesome series!

[@GraniteStateofMind]

Definitely do more of these, awesome concept!

[@mr.lodbrok6952]

Top notch. Would love the see a series of this.

[@Sapnfap]

My Grandfather fought in the Palmach which was the elite group fighting for Israeli independence which went on to become Mossad, he got into that group because he had already fought in europe during the world war. He had a shrapnel scar across his upper lip.

[@chrisvanlaarhoven2722]

Yeah, more of this Simon. Here’s a couple you could have your writers look into: The Dutch “AIVD” and it’s predecessors starting in 1914 or the German “GSG9” as made famous by the “Lufthansa Flight 181” incident.

[@comettamer]

A very interesting series and i look forward to the next one.

[@gabesusman4592]

perfect choice to start a series like this, great work

[@AudraK]

The obgyn for my birth was an ex Israeli agent. He ended up leading the local Jewish community and many more things that we will never know after moving to the states. And many more unknowns while in Israel. After his death the Israeli PM contacted his wife to express his condolences. All I can think of is that the hands that took so many lives ended up bringing so many lives into the world. Including mine.

[@laughingoutloud5742]

Please continue with the Special Operations series!

[@vermazing888]

Awesome! Please continue with more special operators series!

[@agatoneb]

Interesting concept for a series. Keep it going.

[@alexandercharehjoo7744]

Excellent documentary 👏

[@peterhughes7099]

A great idea for a long running series. How about a look at the WW2 British Military Intelligence units M.I. 1 to M.I. 19 or the Double Cross Committee?

[@shabberplasm32]

I'd be interested in seeing more of these for sure.

[@tj7636]

Love it! Keep this series rolling!

[@davidlea-smith4747]

Continue this series please.

[@BloodMoonGo]

Please do make this a series. Making sure to cover groups from all walks of life, geopolitical locations, and covering overt and covert activities would be nice. You could even discuss known hotspots of activities, Vienna for example.

[@Chandlergt1995]

What a bad ass new series, can’t wait to watch the one about the cia and seals. Very interesting Simon keep it up.

[@GrayNeko]

This is a great idea for a series! Love to see one about the SAS, British SIS, Soviet GRU, maybe? There's a lot to choose from! Keep up the good work! ^_^ Also, might want to avoid large crowds and windows for a bit. ^_~

[@emilw9690]

Awesome idea for a series, please keep going!

[@ladyspider4904]

I think it is a great idea! Definitely interested in that series.

[@hanglee5586]

Seal Team, SAS and US Rangers please.

[@timsmith1323]

Seals and SAS have been done to often I’d rather see one on SBS over SAS. It has to be the most underrated SF going, they train exactly as SAS do but also in other specialist areas that SAS don’t

[@SkunkApe407]

These guys basically wrote the book on Special Operations. US Special Warfare units regularly train with the Mossad in order to learn from them.

[@britskaradiometeorograph8108]

​@@timsmith1323 agreed, they also stay out of the limelight a lot more so they have more of a feeling of mystery about them

[@Kyuubi799]

JTF-2 would be potentially interesting. Us Canadians are quite tight-lipped about what they do.

[@diogeneslantern18]

@@SkunkApe407 SF units around the world do cross training with other units. It really isn't some sort of special dispensation

[@cody8866]

This will be a good series especially if he will do videos on other spec ops units that are not as well know like south America spec ops or some European

[@Kevan808]

Please continue this type of series. Very interesting!

[@kolawoleakerele2607]

Yeeessssss Simon, we are totally here for this series

[@JuliusCaesarr_]

Love the idea for a series! Can you do one of the Dutch KCT? (Korps Commando Troepen) not much is known about the operations the did.

[@MasterTeal]

Loved this!! You should do US AirForce Pararescue! They are so underrated!

[@VosperCDN]

Definitely would love to see the lesser known units out there, like those ... hopefully avoiding the typical units already well documented.

[@dianapennepacker6854]

Yes. Anything but the SEALS. Nothing against them but there is so much information on them already. Delta team. Night Stalkers. Green Berrets. There is one more highly secretive American team thats name escapes me but are considered the best of the best as well who are also more spy oriented and work closely with the CIA.

[@4xhoser]

Canadian JTF2 and SF please! Loved this! 🤘🇨🇦👌🇨🇦

[@goobertoober95]

Keep this series going!

[@martingautreau5583]

You guys do excellent work ❤

[@ravenfeeder]

I like the concept for this series. The French GIGN has a very rich history to cover, and the German GSG9’s birth is enveloped in historical reluctance while their KSK is rife with recent controversy. I think those would be interesting topics to cover.

[@boris1387]

GiGN. GSG9!!! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

[@user-lv7ph7hs7l]

There is a great documentary series about the French secret service called OSS 117. Dunno if it was ever translated.

[@kylarstern7627]

Good idea, can you do one on the Australian SASR and then do one on the British SAS, probably showing how much better they are at the job

[@SystemaAlpha]

Yes!! Please do make the series

[@21stCenturyPrep]

Definitely want to see/hear more in this series

[@chuckcenkner1459]

Simon, enjoy all your channels. You are 1 hard working dude! A bit disappointed that you did not talk about the Mosad's response to the killing of the Israeli athletes at the 1968 Olympics. There have been a number of books about how the Mosad tracked down the people responsible to the planning, financing and management of the assignations. Wonder if you could do a segment on that horrific episode

[@ratbatnufftime2861]

Thanks, now I will be researching and possibly buying some of those books.

[@Rfcfan1996]

Tbf if he did that there would be a 3 or 4 hour video

[@diogeneslantern18]

72? 🤔

[@KeithWilliamMacHendry]

That was Munich 1972, not Mexico 1968

[@cstew8355]

Knowing them lot they probably funded it themselves bit like WW2 gives them grief tokens to constantly cash in.

[@kingace6186]

Amazing idea. Great episode. Mossad was a great first pick. I can't wait for you to cover the CIA. Notable mentions: Ukrainian Intelligence, ISI, and KGB.

[@saffreeh7434]

Hello Simon and chat much love!

[@johnmay6090]

Great idea for a series.

[@NateSchulte]

I’m an NCIS fan. I learned about Mossad from watching loads of episodes from that show as a teen, and to this day, whenever I think of Mossad or Israel, I have a significant amount of admiration for their tactics and their seriousness. I know NCIS is obviously a tv show and Ziva David (the Mossad agent in the show and my favorite member of the team) is a fictional charcter, but damn did it really start up my fascination and admiration with Israel and its secret service agency
