[@mohammedsuleiman3680]

You didn’t mention the details for Egypt’s refusal of allowing Palestinians through the border. As soon as Israel declared war, they and the US tried to convince the Egyptian government into allowing Palestinians to “reside temporarily” in Sinai, even offering to negate all external debt. However, if they are allowed passage, a new resistance organisation would arise that would, not only endanger the lives of Egyptian civilians in Sinai, but also attack Israeli forces from their positions. This would give Israel the perfect justification to attack Egyptian lands while the government would have no right to defend or reprimand. The Egyptian prime minister’s speech was hinting at this possibility. The Egyptian government isn’t allowing Palestinians out of inhumane treatment (they have been the primary suppliers of medical aid and food etc. to the people of Gaza in the Arab world), but it is because doing so would further escalate the conflict and undermine the cause of the Palestinian civilians.

[@CheriShin21]

In malaysia, most Malay language tv channel just glossed over Hamas atrocities committed on Oct 7. They interviewed Palestinian aid organization members, they ran news without even fact checking facts or waiting for new facts(eg The Al-Ahli hospital attack, the video about evacuating cars getting "bomb"). Heck, they don't even bother to update the news with new info or make a correction at all. I suspect the government have a hand in what they want people to watch, considering the fact that they just run the news about "2 swedish national shot in Belgium" with this exact headline, no mention of the perpetrator's nationality or religion affiliation at all. Mind you I'm a muslim, I personally think it's stupid to cover up/or not even bother to show us, the muslim populations in this country any act of violence that were perpetrated by a muslim towards a non-muslim.

Also nobody talks about the outrageous facts of 40 Years of sanctions against iran after the revolution which CIA confess to making it happen.. and 11 months later supporting Saddam to attack iran right after the revolution then their was constant invasions or attacks from ISIS, al Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups against iran who just didn't want to support Israel and western super powers against the neighboring arab countrys where 30 million iranian kurdish ppl live as well. it seems like Israel and westerns powers have their own plans for West Asia specially the neighboring lands next to Israel which iran isn't one of them so that automatically put away the narrative of iran wanting to become the regions super power unless they want to push that narrative!!

[@Son-Of-David1990]

​@@xasia_the most important fact is that hamas started everything back up on 10/7/23. The really most important fact is that Isreal has always been the ISREAL-ites land, hence why the have always been called "Isreal-ites" and Palestinians always trying to take it over spanning over from thousands of years ago. Its always been the Jews land inherited from God himself and the jews have always been the ones exiled and fighting for their God given land back since the start thousands of years ago, and in 1947 the prophecy was fullfilled that they would be re established as a nation. Its not Palestinians land. Do you know why they fight so hard over such a irrelevant seeming piece of land?? It goes way deeper into supernatural reasons.

Hey Johnny, Egyptian here. I think you got the Egyptian PM's statement wrong. Perhaps due to translation.

But he was not talking about refugees. (Not saying that Egypt will take them in, just correcting you) Side note: I'm a big fan!

[@cenach8145]

It wasn't a mistake. This entire video is a masterclass in subtle propaganda that appeals to you by appearing to be objective and "only about the facts" He didn't mention that Israel bombed the Rafah crossing several times after Oct. 7. Nor did he mention Israel's specific threats that they gave out beginning Oct. 8 that they would bomb any aid trucks attempting to leave from Egypt to Gaza. Nor did he mention the several times since that Israel bombed aid trucks and even an ambulance convoy attempting to make the cross. Nor did he capture the very obvious implications from the fact that Israel is even in a position to **let** humanitarian aid in through the south passage. Nor did he capture Egypt's concern that if they allow Palestinians to all exit into Egypt, it's more than likely that Israel would then seize the vacant Gaza land and never allow them to return as they have been doing gradually for over the past 70 years - Thus by not mentioning any of that, this video intentionally painted a picture that the ONLY reason Gazans can't flee south is because "Egypt doesn't like them or want them." He mentions the exact number of Israeli's reported to be killed on Oct 7, yet nowhere mentions the numbers of civilian deaths since Oct 7, of which now are more than 10x than the number of Israeli deaths reported. Just a few weeks ago this channel released a video with extensive coverage of what's happening in Myanmar to the Rohingya people, and in that video there were no punches pulled when naming it a genocide. They used wording such as "Extermination campaign," "Killing indiscriminately," "Horrific acts of violence," "The rampage was widespread and systematic." Compare that to in this video, he can't even outright say that Israel is committing war crimes, but instead says "SOME at the UN are calling Israel's actions POTENTIAL war crimes." The verbiage used in this video only paints Palestinians as "people caught in the midst of a war," and not a people who are actively being exiled for good. Apparently to this channel, they see a big difference between burning down villages and turning entire city blocks to craters of rubble with US-made munitions. Also notice how the graphic at 3:10 shown a couple times figuratively paints a picture that the IDF "must cut through Gaza civilians if they want to beat the bad guys" or "the bad guys hiding behind civilians." More 'human shield' imagery to excuse Israel for bombing numerous targets that have not at all been proven to be remotely related to Hamas militants outside of IDF statements and misleading videos. I could be entirely wrong. Maybe they're purposely skirting around naming a spade a spade because they feel there are forces on the internet who'd take this video down, and perhaps the whole channel down, for plainly stating what is happening in Gaza. At any rate, I am really tired of seeing so many news outlets and so many journalists from the west, ones that I thought were neutral and good sources of perspective, so blatantly cave in to the propaganda on this specific conflict, the conflict that's been the most widely reported-on and widely focused on for this generation in the west. My vision of the press - that is being the people at forefront shining a light on atrocity even in the midst of scrutiny from their own governments - has been shattered from this conflict as I've realized that those forces are seemingly much too powerful for even modern-day journalists to go against.

There were no good options. this was the worst decision for civilians. but israel has been getting proxy warred and bombed and shot at since they "regained their land" . they're surrounded by people who for no reason what so ever fit a different tribe, because religion imo is just a bad thing now. they are trading the lives of the tribe that isnt theirs, for their own civilians. atleast they're trying to do that. a land being "someones" is just a construct made up so people can have power. we only fight because of war and politicians and economies. egypt should accept the palestinians, but doing so would put both dogs, the palestinians and th israelis out of a corner, and my god do they want them to do that. no one is a good actor besides the civilians on both sides. But you cannot have war without innocent people dying EVERYWHERE. Because if you want to read the art of war, you don't give your enemy an advantage, or you will lose.

Israel is now 2 weeks into the ground invasion and he is talking about it like it didn’t happen yet. He missed the part of where hezbullah already lost over 70 fighters from Israeli strikes and the few anti tanks missles they fired into Israel before each Israeli attack. Hezbullah is a harder war but they don’t hide under civilians which makes it a little easier then Hamas. Hezbulla of course can still join but for now they’ve only been bothering Israel but are showing that they don’t want a conflict with Israel. Yemen have the ability to get to the southern part of Israel but aren’t a real threat to Israel. The US already sent a lot of troops into the region including 3 fleets of aircraft carriers, which one only one of those can almost wipe out hezbulla.

You very confidently said 1400 isrealis were killed, any loss of life is tragic, however, you should have mentioned a disclaimer that those figures were what the isreali government have stated and cant be taken as truth, many of the 1400 deathes were by the idf's own shelling, making the death toll much higher and pointing blame a resistence geoup which may have done some terrible actions, but which suffocated resistence group doesn't (not agreeing with their actions). As you have a great story telling capability, it was a shame to see a lot being glossed over and repetition of many terms echoed in the media which is dishonest and further peddles a propaganda fooling the mass from the truth. I hope you can give an honest, nonbias view, right from the start, when this all started, over 80 years ago, tell the story, be honest to yourself and everyone lending their ears, they atleast deserve that much, as we look at history and qusstion how people could have been so cold blooded, heartless and savages, yet we see it happening today - in the internet & social media years, we turn our heads and pretend nothings happening, pointing fingers whilst we cover up the genocide taking place or try justify it, being frightend of being labeled, when only reporting the facts.

You should have mentioned that this has been going on for 75 years, I understand what Hamas did was bad, but what israel did was worse AND they didn’t start the war. It all started from israel stealing peoples land, you gave a great overview, but lacked the context in my opinion.

Israel didn’t steal land

​@@TonySans519Israel has been doing that. There are 300 pages long reports by Amnesty and the UN for years that Israel has been slowly expanding territories by settling migrants in the West Bank which is officially not their territory.

Given Israel's formidable military capabilities, including advanced weaponry, the Mossad, and substantial financial support from the US, the question arises: why deploy such overwhelming force against a relatively small group?

They know something we dont know.they could wipe every Palestinian if they want but israel acts a fool,an opressor thst acts a victim,they want to picture palestinian pushback as terrorism.its all like a game the eltirs play,a chess game where the players are the elites,and figures are innocent lives

[@zarabee2880]

I’ve been waiting for this! Thank you Johnny!! I have so really Really stupid questions--> 1. why is the Gaza Strip and south bank so far apart? At one point, was that all Palestine ? 2. How the HELL, if Israel’s “mission statement” is to bomb Hamas to oblivion, are they expecting the civilians to survive? 😢 like Hamas is going to just stay still in the north? They’re going to go further and further and the civilians are trapped! Christ this is awful 😩

[@NZ-fo8tp]

Yeah all good questions I’ve got truthful responses, it wasn’t all Palestine, and ppl who say that don’t know what they’re talking about. It wasn’t Israel either. For centuries that land was consistently occupied by foreign powers, most recently it was under British control and before that it was Ottoman control. During that time there was no nation of Palestine, matter of fact, Jews and Muslims were called Palestinians just to refer to the ppl in the region. Gaza is separate from the West Bank because they have a different history of formation. Most ppl in Gaza have heritage closer to Egypt and in the West Bank, they are more closely associated with Jordanians. The original Israeli border excluded Gaza, in the 60s there was a war, Israel captured the entire Sinai peninsula and then gave it back. Egypt, which had been struggling with extremism, reinforced a border between itself and Gaza further isolating it

[@shahdwritess]

@@NZ-fo8tp​how can you so confidently attempt to answer a question about a topic you apparently have zero knowledge about? Yes it was all Palestine. Simply because everyone who lived there before 1948 are Palestinians and not “Israelites”, who only RECENTLY came from Europe to occupy. It being under the Ottoman Empire for a while doesn’t mean there wasn’t Palestinian people with unique culture and heritage that goes back centuries ago, and I’m not even gonna talk about the fact that they share DNA with the Canaanites who lived there thousands of years ago. No, people in the West Bank are not closer to Jordan in heritage, you’re obviously confused, displaced Palestinians MIGRATED to Jordan after 1948 (&claimed the nationality) that’s why you see Jordanians sharing DNA with them. with Gaza, some Palestinians took refugee there after 1948, as it belonged to them before the occupation. no relation to Egypt or Egyptians. Check your facts before spitting misinformation pls.

[@shahdwritess]

Question 1: yes it was all Palestine. the occupation state of Israel was able to take 88% of their land. leaving them with the 12% that is Gaza and some of the West Bank. they did occupy Gaza in 1967 but pulled out from their grounds in 2005 (which doesn’t make sense bc they still have full control over ALL of Gaza’s natural resources, their borders, their skies, basically creating them an open air prison). As for the West Bank it was annexed by Jordan in 1949 (after the Israeli occupation) so they can place Palestinians refugees in it. It got occupied again, and now both Palestinians and the settlers share it. And obviously with apartheid against the Palestinians, making them 2nd degree citizens, under the mercy of the Israeli government. Such as randomly getting kicked out of their own house, bc someone else now wants it. Also Palestinians in the West Bank cannot travel bc if they do they might never be able to get back in. Many many more you can search it. Question 2: the Israeli occupation doesn’t give 2 fucks about hamas. Bombing hospitals, schools, etc and “assuming” there are hamas members hiding there is absolutely crazy. Open your eyes. They’re just excusing the genocide and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. You’re telling me, one of the world’s strongest militaries, backed up by the most powerful country, was for A WHOLE MONTH, not able to detect the place of a Group of people, in a 365 km2 strip? PLUS they were bombing and killing civilians way before the attack and for no reason. Search abt it. In 2021. In 2014. Many more. 300 gets killed yearly by the occupation forces. It was never about hamas. Do not let them brainwash you.

[@jordynsnovell]

​​@@shahdwritesswoah! Your view is also quite biased and a bit incorrect. Israelites have existed since the biblical times and originated in Canaan (aka modern day Israel). They didn't just recently come to the land! Just as Palestinian culture has existed in the area, so has Jewish culture. How can you bash someone else for not knowing all the facts/spewing misinfo when you are too?

[@shahdwritess]

@@jordynsnovell ​⁠​⁠I am Arab, i live closer and i know everything that happens there unfiltered, im not biased. First of all, let’s say all those american/european settlers were in fact indigenous to Palestine since the biblical times and they have the right to claim their land back, in that same sense, does that mean we can now go to the white americans who lived in the US for centuries, kick them out of the land by also killing them and committing crimes against international law because “they’re not indigenous”? Second of all, the israelis that were in Canaan are literally the Palestinians we know today. Confused much? The zionists settled in occupied Palestine are NOT indigenous. they’re mostly from eastern europe/the us. The indigenous jews lived fine there before the zionist movement started (and while we’re at it, the indigenous middle eastern jews are treated like 2nd class citizens in israel. so it was never abt making it a *safe* home for the jews, it’s merely a place for white supremacy).

[@justal8582]

Thank you for actually showing everything with a non biased view and differentiate Hamas from Palestine unlike many other, the neglecting of the difference is causing misinformation and hate towards innocents. I do not support any parties but all sides of this conflicts have reasons that could perhaps be negotiated, but after all we are humans and we’ve shown that war is our nature and violence our worldwide language.

👏👏👏 Bravo. An amazing analysis of this conflict. Very complicated and no persective should be taken lightly. It's not as simple as taking a side. We must find a solution for peace.
