I'd love ❤️ for you to explain and compare weapons systems US has given Ukraine compared to Israeli armed forces weapons. I notice the Israelis af have (seems to be ) way way more powerful weapons than what we 🇺🇸 have given Ukraine 🇺🇦 🥺😦 .

[@deserthorsedude]

Balanced or not, a deeper undersatning of the recent (decades old) history is a useful, if painful, reminder of what's in living memory of the people on the ground. What the middle east needs is a way out of the anger and hatred to a headspace where peace can begin to take hold. Given the long history of the region (back to 5,000 Years Ago), the likelyhood of this happening is low. The region needs a peace leader, like Gandhi was for India. Not more hard fisted leadership playing to their base (on all sides, even non-regional players).

[@tarettime9392]

@@alexfortin7209overall it’s a good video but I do feel like there’s bias that pokes through. Like not mentioning that the bombings in the roads and border crossings made the evacuation orders essentially useless as they completely destroyed the ability for civilians to flee. Or when he mentioned during the withdrawal that Israel didn’t want to totally destroy Hamas he didn’t mention that they actually had helped support their rise to power in the first place. He also didn’t mention that Hamas doesn’t operate in the West Bank meaning that it’s incredibly unlikely that they were behind the abduction. He also didn’t point out how before the creation of Israel Jews Muslims and Christians all shared access to their religious sites in a peaceful non contentious way and they only became inflamed after Israel started putting controls over them. When he mentions the evictions for not paying rent and the settlers moving in he didn’t say anything about the larger context of evictions which use complicated legal applications on strict deadlines as well as rejecting building permits (for buildings that are typically older than Israel) as a means of forcing evictions. Those 75 cases were only as contentious as they were because of their timing and the circumstances around the eviction tactics used by Israel in the West Bank. He also leaves out that Israel has never provided any proof that the independent news organizations they blew up were actually being used by Hamas to jam the iron dome. All of these things are pretty important in understanding the motivations and tactics of both sides. But they all happen to favor Israel from a pr standpoint.

[@alexfortin7209]

The big thing that is never mentioned Is that the entire region has been in a permanent state of chaos and conflict since biblical times because of a lack of ressources - water, materials, etc for 3000-4000 years. In contrast, some parts of Europe have been politically and socially stable for 1,000 years.

[@tarettime9392]

@@alexfortin7209 that’s actually not true though. The Levant had a looong period of mostly peace and the current conflict only dates back to the 1940’s before that there weren’t many issues there going back essentially to the crusades. Meanwhile until the end of WW2 Europe has had constant conflict every couple decades for pretty much all of history. The regions of Europe that were stable for a thousand of years are mostly the size of Israel + Palestine. So we’re not counting Asia Minor as a whole here the same way you’re not counting an entire region of Europe as a whole.

[@asystole_]

Chris' videos are some of the most even-handed views on this incredibly inflammatory conflict, major respect

[@headrockbeats]

Small correction: The court case that sparked the 2021 conflict was not really about rent payments; It was a legal dispute about the ownership of the houses in the neighborhood, which had changed hands twice since 1948. Legally, the houses were owned by the original Jewish residents, but the current Palestinian residents also enjoyed legal protection as long-term renters, and could not be evicted even if they stopped paying rent. Over decades, the case went all the way up to the Israeli Supreme Court, which attempted to broker a compromise. In 2021 it failed to do so, and had to call the case back to trial. At that point, Palestinian protests over the matter turned into a riot inside Al-Aqsa, which then flared into a mini-uprising of Arabs both in the West Bank and inside Israel. Hamas simply decided to join in.

[@SyrianApostate]

To add to this, the families in that neighborhood were originally displaced from their homes by Israel during the Nakba of 1948 and moved into that neighborhood where they built their own houses on it. Later in 67 when the west bank fell under Israeli occupation the Israelis wanted to force them to pay rent while not allowing them to return back to their original homes prior to 48

[@headrockbeats]

@@SyrianApostate That's correct, but for clarification, there was a big legal difference between their original neighborhood and the new one, which meant that Israel could not move them back to their old neighborhood even if it wanted to. The whole issue stems from a bureaucratic f***-up by Jordanian authorities after they took over the neighborhood in 1948.

[@guss77]

​​@@SyrianApostatethat is mostly technically correct, though most 1948 Arab refugees left on their own at the prompting of the attacking Arab armies to leave and let their armies clear the land of the Jews. When that failed, the Arab governments refused to negotiate a peaceful return of the refugees abd refused to integrate the refugees, planning to compound a humanitarian crisis to play it against Israel. I still think it would have been just to gift the Arab families those homes, which the Israeli government could have done using eminent domain laws - but the Israel government is also wholly uninterested in solving the refugee crisis peacefully inside the area between the Mediterranean and Jordan, and would rather continue the suffering in some kind of misguided or malicious intent (probably both) for the Arab countries to accept and integrate the refugees - which the Arab governments also have some good reasons not to, in addition to the bad ones that I mentioned above.

[@SyrianApostate]

@@guss77 While it is true that many Palestinians fled on their own, that doesn't apply for the entire 750k who were displaced, since Israeli militias and forces forcibly removed many Palestinians off their lands as documented by Israeli historian Ilan Pape. Further the Palestinians who fled did so under the circumstances of several massacres commited by Jewish militias in 47/48. In any case regardless of how they left the territory, to this day Israel refuses to allow them back. While it simultaneously guarantees the right of "return" to any person with Jewish heritage anywhere around the world. It goes without saying that some random Jewish person born in New York does not have much connection to the land of Israel/Palestine in order for them to "return". However you frame this it is fundamentally unjust. Its worthy to note that up to 75% of the population of Gaza today fall under this category.

American Zionists including my own dual-citizen AIPAC US Congressman, called us "terrorists", because we dared to talk to Palestinian leaders in a dialogue.

Your average infantryman? This channel has come a long way. This channel offers well edited rich content. No to mention that from a media standpoint these topics are difficult to cover. 5/5

Been watching your KZbin videos for a while. I grew up a military brat. My Dad was a retired Marine Master Sargent. We spent 2 & a half year's on Okinawa during the Vietnam war from October 1968 to May 1971. I was in my teens. Learned a lot over there. Dad retired at Camp Pendleton when we got back to the States I was 15 and 3 to 5 years younger than the Marines going home from Vietnam Vietnam. Interesting flight back to California. I've always had an interest in world affairs. Okinawa enhanced that interest. Not only was it the last major battle against the Japanese, it's still a vital base of operations today. You give a good incite on world affairs with what's happening in the Middle East and Israels involvement. You try to give an objective report. Keep it up. What's happening in world affairs at this juncture of human history is all tied into Bible prophecy. It will go as God sees fit! That is one thing I've learned in this life being almost 70 years old. Keep up the work you're doing.and continue being objective. Try to see all sides as best that you're doing. I didn't serve like my dad did but I'm a Marine at heart. Semper Fi!

Very good analysis. Two minor fixes: East Jerusalem was annexed and is not under military occupation. It is a part of the Jerusalem municipality. Second, the dome of the rock is not "believed" to be the place of the first and second Jewish temple, it is the actual historical place.

[@richard6935]

Also important, the dome and El-Aksa are built on top of the remnants of the temple and they are not the most sacred place for Islam. Actually they are the 3rd most sacred place for Islam and Jerusalem is not even mentioned in the Koran

[@eljanrimsa5843]

East Jerusalem is internationally still regarded as an occupied part of Palestine.

[@ElPhaz]

@@eljanrimsa5843 well, that might be, but the reality is that the Israeli law is applied in east Jerusalem, its residents are Israeli citizens, it receives municipal services from the Jerusalem municipality, and the police enforces the law, not the military. It is considered an integral part of Jerusalem and of the state of Israel for all day-to-day matters, so just saying that east Jerusalem is under a military occupation in this context is very misleading. BTW, the west bank is internationally considered as a "Land in dispute", which is different from "occupied lands", that's because Israel has conquered it from Jordan, which didn't have international recognition over its governance either. It is not considered "an occupied part of Palestine", because there is no such state.

[@eljanrimsa5843]

@@ElPhaz A majority of UN members recognize the State of Palestine, and even those who don' recognize the state, recognize the authority of the PNA. All countries regard the territories Israel occupied since 1967 as either the state of Palestine or occupied Palestinian territory. Just because a thief calls his loot "property in dispute" doesn't make it so.

[@ElPhaz]

@@eljanrimsa5843 "land in dispute" is the UN definition, not Israel's. The UN doesn't recognise the state of Palestine, as do the majority of its members (otherwise it was recognised as a state by the UN). it is considered an ethnic autonomy, according to the Oslo agreements. Just because some terrorists call a land their own doesn't make it so.

[@Yeah_Whocares]

Is there a reason the audio cut out at 17:50 - 17:53? The exact moment you say, "As a result. Israel received a lot of negative coverage...*cuts out*... At the same time"

[@Taskandpurpose]

I accidently deleted about 10 seconds because i'm an idiot! what I said was "As a result, Israel received a lot of negative coverage over the high number of reported civilian casualties as well as the many destroyed civilian structures that HAMAS forces were allegedly operating out of. Israel struggled to validate its actions in the Gaza Strip on the international stage but at the same time tactically in the war it won a great victory. "

[@tarettime9392]

⁠@@TaskandpurposeI don’t want to be rude and I know you’ve admitted that you have your biases that you mitigate as best you can. But accidentally deleting probably the strongest worded criticism of Israel. Really didn’t help the biased feeling of this video.

[@hansad.k6273]

Thanks for the intel cappy, didnt know about this past.

[@DodZz666]

I appreciate your effort at trying to tell the history without being bias… this trait seems increasingly rare these days

[@musicman1770]

From a survivor of the recent Oct 7th attacks, "the majority of our attackers were civilians". This eye-opening details is crucial to know once Israel starts their campaign to get rid of Hamas.

[@fikarrusdiawan9562]

Everything seems crazy, it seems that not only Hamas will be removed, Al-Fatah will probably be overthrown by the Palestinian people themselves after the collapse of Hamas... 😢 This applies if Hamas is truly completely defeated! 😮

[@Fulcrox]

Sadly Netanyahu is the biggest responsable of this escalade, he burned all the diplomatic bridges these last years to achieve this stage of conflict by teasing Hamas enough to make them jump. If the Israeli don't remove that warmonger from office impeached i guess they are more lost than i have tought.

[@hubhub1254]

incredible content thanks a lot

[@kassper82]

I so so appreciate your trying to stay…neutral. I’m a long time lurker/subscriber. I’m also Palestinian by blood. I really appreciate your stating facts in this minefield of a situation. I see the effort that you put in.

Wow! What an amazing report cover! Well done🙌🏻

[@Russking23]

Great video!

[@BD90..]

Hiding in hospitals and using civilians is for cowards.

[@netapel2625]

This is probably the best channel to get an unbiased perspective on the situation. Warographics don't go into any depth with their research and recently Vox came out with the most biased anti-israel video on the situation. At least here I know actual professionals are working on this, with backgrounds in the military.

[@DThinker123]

Cappy, much respect for not being biased. BTW, none of the allegations towards Netanyahu about corruption have held in court.

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

Appreciate your hard work, Sir 👍

[@liallhristendorff5218]

This guy can no longer call himself the average infantry man. This is top tier.

[@Bensux]

10:21 If you want to be fair, you should also address the findings made by the *UN* investigation detailed in *The Goldstone Report* which points out the IDF as the major employer of civilians as human shields.

[@tomseipert3755]

Chris, Wow what a video. BEST explanation of how and what happened over the years there. You hit it out of the park with that video. Keep up the great work.

[@sabre_phoenix5996]

Interesting edit at 17:52. Good video and you're doing a good job of providing info with context

[@millennial9252]

It’s important to note that the aid trucks going in were decreased because of the inability to control the weapons and explosives Hamas was trying to sneak in. It is also important to note, Egypts blockade was as harsh if not worse than Israel’s for the same reason. Leaving this out is a big deal. This is a driving force of why the blockade was in place in the first place. Israel could never trust Hamas not to smuggle weapons in. The aid that came in was stolen by Hamas and used for tunnels and missiles.

[@Fulcrox]

You don't use food and medicine to build tunnels Hamas is smuggling weapons nonstop thanks to Iran investment on them. The blockade is a trasvesty who makes Palestinians depend completely on Hamas and their tunnels for work and resources
