West was totally outclassed by Hamas propagandists

[@barneydenstad2148]

Yes. Not least, Israel has nothing of it, nor even official revealing of Hamas lies. Possibly not to happen to reveal its own soldiers. What I live from upon, is indenpendent analysts (yes these are being neutral - they are often de facto pro Israel). Im also critically analyzing AlJazeera clips - being critical its easy to see the mindless propaganda, and thus, take my own conclussions: ONE example; when they did report from the fightings inside of AlShaifa hospital. They made sure they show women and children running scared - although the action is kilometers away... But the narrator DOES mention killed Hamas soldiers and officers killed inside of Al-Shaifa... So not everything is pure lies, they just make sure the bits of thruths are carefully packed in propaganda and half lies... Of course, AlJazeera never comments what do Hamas soldiers have to do inside of a working hospital?? Its by itself a serious war crime and a crime against the civilian population of Gaza. And thus, of course IDF have full right to storm them... Not bombing out the entire hospital is a great proof of humanity of IDF

@@barneydenstad2148 We were not there and I’m sure the IDF had a good reason IF they “bombed out” the whole hospital, which I’m unsure of since I’ve seen ample videos.

[@nicopotenza5423]

The transcript you provided appears to be an in-depth discussion by Francisco Gil-White on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and its implications for Israel. Here are the key points: 1. **U.S. Actions Benefiting Iran**: Gil-White suggests that U.S. interventions in the Middle East have consistently helped Iran strengthen its position against Israel. He cites the U.S. relationships with Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon and Qatar, which supports Hamas, as examples. 2. **Consequences of U.S. Interventions**: The U.S. invasions of Iraq and actions in the Gulf War led to the destruction of Iraq, turning it into a hotbed for Jihadi terrorism and placing it under Iranian control. This created a land corridor from Iran to Israel, enhancing Iran's ability to supply Hezbollah. 3. **Consistent 'Mistakes'**: Gil-White challenges the narrative that these outcomes were due to incompetence or ignorance. He argues that the consistent nature of these 'mistakes' suggests intentional policy rather than mere blunders. 4. **Hypothetical Intentions**: He posits that the U.S. may be deliberately undermining Israeli security under the guise of being an ally. This interpretation contrasts with the common belief that U.S. actions were misguided attempts to stabilize the region. 5. **Current Context**: The recent events, particularly after October 7th (presumably referring to a significant attack or development), have made it more apparent that U.S. policies are not aligned with Israeli security interests, but its distraction. This analysis by Gil-White presents a critical view of U.S. foreign policy, suggesting that it may have strategic motives contrary to its stated support for Israel.
