Members of the Israeli far right have referred to Hamas as “an asset” and claimed that anyone who wants to stop a two state solution needs to support Hamas. In this video, we go over their strategy to divide and conquer the Palestinian people, keeping them physically and politically divided so their land can be taken.

"Hamas didn't create the conflict, the conflict created Hamas" ex-IDF soldier
Sums it all up
from the moment there was a declaration of independance of Israel, Arabs attacked Jews. That created it all. The "conflict" comes from constant refusal of all the Arab countries to have ONE small Jewish state in the world, in their indigenous land they never completely left. Hamas is just one more recent occurence of Arab-Muslim Jewish hate, but that started from Mahommet, it's advocated by the Quran, and the pogroms of jews in the Middle East and in particular in the region didn't wait for the state of Israel to be reborn in order to occur.

I'm surprised and kind of disappointed Harris did not show more of that interview where Bibi continues to incriminate himself and even when asked about the Americans potentially opposing his strategy of sabotaging the Oslo accords that they helped establish, he goes on to tell the settlers not to worry because Americans are easily manipulated. I guess he wasn't wrong about that. At least until recently that is.

Netanyahu fun fact, was raised in Philadelphia and the former Prime Minister was raised in Wisconsin. I believe she was born there as well.

I’ve never been there and she hasn’t been back since she was 16 when she had me,
Yasser Arafat was born in Egypt and died in France. Hamas leaders live in Qatar. So I don’t get your point. Im sorry for your situation… i truly am. But if it wasn’t for the continual terror attacks against Israel, none of this would happen. Wish you guys could just learn to live in peace with Jews/Israel instead of putting Israel in the hyper-sensitive position of protecting its citizens vs. caring for the plight of non-citizens. Wish the whole world would appreciate that delicate balance. Wish the whole world would understand that Israel hates being in this position. That’s why it gave back Gaza to the Palestinians in 2005.
@@eitanblumstein1786you might wish all that but your leaders don’t as laid out in this video. The citizens who have been stoking the fire by even building settlements on the land they “gave back” and in other areas today don’t wish that.

@@eitanblumstein1786let’s not pretend they left the strip for peace. Your leaders have admitted that the other side had too many people.

Let's be honest, there's nothing in this video that people who care about the issue haven't been shouting for years. But it's always great when those messages reach a new audience.
eh I second that some of the points that were made are rarely put up in videos concerning this subject
Isn't that also part of the problem? The perpetual drawing in of audience for their bullshit? Seems People worship their politicians who sell the illusion of safety and security. People are also naive that outside governments (such as Iran) spend endless money using Palestinians ? Free Israel from the US. Free Palestine from Iran. ....and get rid of the United Nations. They have been destroying property rights all over the world since they were first formed. Just a 4th tier government with zero accountability trying to tell others how to live.

If someone were attempting to take your land, your ancestors' land, and even your culture, what would you do? What kind of future could you have if you lost your past? I believe that everyone would resist and fight against this. So, why shouldn't the Palestinians do the same? Why shouldn't they resist and fight back against the Occupation? It's their right to take any necessary action, it's important to remember that self-defense is a recognized right under international law. When faced with aggression, a people have the right to protect their homes, their lands, and their cultural heritage. This isn't just about the present - it's about preserving the past for future generations. It's about ensuring that the roots of a culture aren't erased by forced occupation. But in the case of Israel they are trying to erase the Palestinians from existing. Israel doesn't have the right for self-defense they are the Occupation. Arab people they don't have problem with the Jews, but with the Zionist occupier.
Exactly. It's the same as china just giving texas to Russia. What would texans do when their homes and land is just taken? If they fought back, the world would call them terrorists

Nah, it is very known thing for the locals. But it does has a dramatic effect in a short vid
Netanyahu's anti peace stance should be pretty well known without a video.
As an Israeli Jew that has lived in the country for the vast majority of my life, I 100% agree with you that Netanyahu is just as guilty as anyone else and the blood of Israeli innocent civilians alongside innocent Palestinians, is on his hands. Something that I find could've been added is demonstrating the dissatisfaction of the Israeli people that have been protesting for 10 months straight prior to Oct. 7th in opposition to our corrupt government. We all just want to live in peace, hopefully that can be achieved sooner than later.
What are your feelings on Iran? What do you think the solution is to foreign governments compromising your safety, empowering bad governments and backlash?
I dont understand what Israelis feel so wrong about a two state Solution? It's your promised land? Okay sure, why not let Palestinians have the land according to Oslo accords and just end the conflict? I mean it's pretty clear to both sides and the world that neither of the parties can stop existing or just immigrate. Everyone would stand by a two state solution. As for Jerusalem, everyone can have access as its holy to all three Abrahamic religions. You don't understand the hurt it causes me as a Muslim to not be able to visit Jerusalem because of the conflict.
I am so glad to read you see the truth. Please more people like you in Israel, speak up! Cheers from a Lebanese guy, praying for peace.

Wow what an eye opener, I appreciate the time and information you fit into such a short video.
Im sorry, i understand the effort to stay somewhat neutral but this video is gross history revisionism. No, arabs living in the jewish side of the partition were not going to have to be forced to move to Palestine. He casually mentions that 700,000 arabs were forced out of their homes. No. There was a war, and it was started by the arabs. And the majority of the 700,000 displaced were not expelled but rather willfully fled. The video goes on to cite many other distortions, such as suggesting the intifada was the first instance of Palestinian violence after "they couldnt take it anymore". Bullshit. Theyd been slaughtering jews by the hundreds way before the 80s or even 70s. The checkpoints he mentions were installed for precisely this reason (not "oppression"). I could go on and on. ppl must see a full narrative with opposing viewpoints. this video is quite skewed and biased.

I'm Israeli, That's my dream for my people, but in these time it's hard to imagine... Every day that the hostages are in its just painful to imagine the things they must be going through. Its unbearable while also half of the world want us destroy
@SoMeBoDyThatUKnowUS have you not seen the videos and interviews with the hostages? Hamas has been treating them extremely well compared to the children who the IDF finally released after years
it was never about jews ....
yeah but you should know after watching netanyahus clips here in this video, that peace is almost impossible, zionists dont want peace they showed us that when they killed yitzhak rabin. you saw here in this video netanyahu mentioning that for jews to have peace and security they have to break them (in other words oppressing them) but this is just another zionist lie, its the oposite palestinians just want their land back, if the jews just came to palestine to live there and didnt occupy the land, they would have not had resisting palestinians today and all these enemies. they are more far away from peace and security. if you ask me jews should have country if they want, but they have no right to occupy palestine and displace palestinians just cuz they want a country. and just cuz their ancestors lived to the holy land doesnt mean they have the right to own it for them selves it is holy for all jews christians and muslims. before this occupation these 3 religions lived together peacfully in jerusalem.
@@SoMeBoDyThatUKnowUS they dont. brother, no one can or wants to destroy Israel. except hamas, but they were never strong enough to do it. And if your PM keeps slaughtering Gazan children, youre never going to find peace. at first, let go of that indoctrination. No one can destroy Israel. But that hostility is what Bibi exploits, and all the prior PMs. we are all victims of something, but if you being a victim convinces you to victimise others, that's immoral. dont vote for netanyahu. dont live in fear. History will not repeat itself against the jewish people. but it may against the Palestinians. Is killing children really security? then how secure is one? first, get over your fear. then do everything to stop this massacre. or history will not look kindly on the Israelis who watched Palestinians die, just as the Germans did Jews.

My suspicion is confirmed. Next question is could Netanyahoo have fascilitated the Hamas attacks? I mean he has clearly been waiting for an opportunity to go all in.
At the minimum, he turned a blind eye to the 7 oct attacks - all with the goal of mobilizing the country into war.
Everything leading up to 7th October is very suspicious. The festival changed locations three times (and was placed closer to Gaza), it took Israel 6 hours to repell Hamas after the attack, and the hostage rescue missions with Apache helicopters and tanks that killed Hamas and hostages alike.
i saw in Telegram Channel in Israel of IDF soldiers saying they were forced to shot to everyone. Look at the houses and cars, Hamas didn't have te weapons to do that. It's called Hannibal Directive

Content like this is why journalism matters, and I don't think most people understand how much heat and hate JH will get for putting a piece like this out. This is an incredibly complicated issue with a ton of agendas, and it's presented it so well here.
I really regret - as a Palestinian immigrant - to see the Palestinian issue classified as a "conflict", before the seventh of October, the narratives did not take the violent form in their composition, but the truth was on the table (for those who are looking). After the seventh of October, the issue took another turn and considering that the beginning of October 7 and forget that the response from Hamas was not arbitrary, but resistance to the expansion, which Netanyahu himself spoke of Greater Israel and erased any recognition of Palestinian independence, hence the war of narratives arose.

As usual, a very informative and well researched video. Thank you Johnny for the efforts you put into making high quality and accurate video. Love your work.
For once, you hit the nail right on the head! Netenyahu has been financing and supporting Hamas for years. The karma in all of this is that he wanted to create a deep divide among the Palestinians by using Hamas, and since this group uses extreme methods to get its point across, rather than diplomacy, it always gave Netenyahu a pretext to be in constant war with Palestinians via Hamas, and after every conflict with Hamas for decades, illegal settlements can take place after each violent clash, taking more land in occupied Palestinian Territories, while Palestinians are still recovering from the clash of Hamas against IDF and have been too weakened and discouraged to fight back. Netenyahu is a warmonger and his own policies were never meant to secure Jews, rather it was to secure his own political goals and personal objectives, at the expense of both Palestinian and Israeli wellbeing!
Netanyahu is guilty of greater crimes than Hamas, by betraying his own people by sabotaging peace efforts for security, funding terrorists, and then use the terrorists attack Jews, and then use the IDF to kill Palestinian civilians.
Wasnt Hamas voted into power by the Palestinians? Sure Bibi might have exploited the division, but it was the Palestinian people that chose to support a terrorist organization, before Bibi used them to ultimately destroy them

Woow 😮😮
@@rasyaadipratama651 In June 2007, during the Battle of Gaza between Hamas and Fatah, the US Ambassador to Israel quoted Israeli Defense Intelligence Chief, Amos Yadlin, in a memo later published by Wikileaks: “Although not necessarily reflecting a GOI [government of Israel] consensus view, Yadlin said Israel would be “happy” if Hamas took over Gaza because the IDF could then deal with Gaza as a hostile state.” - Wikileaks (published in 2014)
they (Israel) felt tortured because they were hiding something they did in 7 October , namely the "HANNIBAL PROTOCOL". let's encourage them to talk things through. I think our brothers in Palestine are fed up with this slander, they have suffered too much
"A quote circulating on social media about Netanyahu and Hamas comes from a Haaretz hit piece on Netanyahu. “’Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,’ he told a meeting of his Likud party’s Knesset members in March 2019. ‘This is part of our strategy-to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.’” The actual source is supposedly the biography of Haim Ramon, who had not served in the government since 2009, and certainly not in the Likud. Ramon, a leftist politician, had been convicted of sexual harassment, partially ending his political career. He certainly had not been a Likud member and was not attending any such meetings, raising serious credibility issues regarding the quote."

Such a general answer you gave me, we both know that before that land was even called Palestine by the Romans in the first century or so, it was called Judea and for over 1000 years was the home of the Jews. Then, it was occupied by the Romans, and from there by other powers. It's no surprise that wherever you excavate in Israel, you find archaeological rests of the ancient Jewish nation and history. This is common knowledge. The only way for peace is to have a two states solution like it was proposed a number of times in the past and refused by the Arabs. But before any of this can happen, the Arabs need to stop hating the Jews and stop pretending that the Jewish people don't belong to that land.
I gotta be honest and say that your historical stance on Palestine-Israel even when it wasn't mainstream was enough for me to really trust your coverage on other topics that I wasn't as informed on as this one. You've always passed the moral litmus test with this one and this video is no exception. Thank you, Johnny. Keep up the great work. And deep respects for taking these risks for the sake of objectivity and proper journalism. 🤜🤛

@@johnnyharris Hey Johnny why is that when you mention the initial war between Israel and those Arab states you don’t mention that this was after Israel’s right to exist as a nation was codified by the UN or that every single nation that bordered Israel declared war on them the very minute the British left? Furthermore it’s also weird that you describe the six-day war as “Israel goes to war with their Arab neighbours”… Except that ignores that Egypt blatantly disregarded international law by preventing free passage to only Israeli maritime vessels, lining up their troops on the border with Israel (Ala Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), removing all of the UN elements from Egypt and doing all of this after Israel has made it clear that an attempt at preventing Israeli maritime vessels from their right to free passage under international law, will be seen as a casus belli. It’s akin to you describing the Russia/Ukraine situation as “Ukraine went to war with Russia” as if they were somehow an eager participant in the conflict to begin with and not the victims of a planned act of violence in the form of a coordinated invasion attempt. I’ll also go ahead and ask why you entirely gloss over the fact that Israel defeats Egypt by force, controls the Sinai Peninsula, and then just hands it right back to them? Is it possible that one of those countries at the time didn’t recognize the others right to basic existence (Egypt), and as such had no interest in recognizing the right of Israel and Israelis to the same international protections provided to every other nation on Earth? It’s incredibly weird that when every state that surrounds Israel in 1948 declares war on them, and then the breaking of international law again by Egypt/Syria/Jordan/Lebanon in 1967 wasn’t “immoral” like you so emphatically state the Israeli settlers in Palestine are. Would you also be willing to answer why you don’t ever acknowledge that the very first Arab country to recognize the BASE rights of Israel to exist would be Egypt themselves over 30 years after Israel was solidified as existing to the majority of the rest of the non-muslim world? The international community has deemed invading your neighbours and refusing to accept their right to exist based upon your desire to religiously persecute and murder them all to be “immoral and illegal”. Maybe your video should have touched on some of those things - had I known nothing or very little about the history of the conflicts there I would have come away from your video earnestly believing that Israel attacked their neighbours in 1948 and that once again in 1967 they just decided to “go to war with their Arab neighbours again”. I enjoy your content typically, but when you try to address some of these capital M, Massive and capital V, Vast issues, such as in this one or your “How Europe stole the World” video (I know you and your team have seen the @ThePresentPast_ video discussing that videos issues therein), I think you and your team don’t properly engage with these sorts of grandiose subjects in the way that I believe you think that you are (earnest, academic, unbiased and entertaining). Even as a brief example that applies to both videos: You demonstrate a clear and repetitive bias for both geographic tools like maps and numerical tools that allow you to ‘short-form’ not only the history of an event but moreover the morality of the event itself. It’s useful because it allows you to keep the content in digestible pieces that run from 20-40 minutes per subject and keep it entertaining. However the manner it which you elect to craft this ‘short-form’ is persistently biased and un-academic - I do believe you’re earnestly trying to balance these things, the directed bias feigned as neutrality, only makes it feel slightly less so.
@@SmallAndDisfiguredWhy don't you mention that the same UN resolutions calling for the establishment of Israel also call for the establishment of Palestine? Why don't you mention that the 1947 War was immediately preceded by the civil war between the people who would become Israelis and the Palestinians? Why do you act as if Israel stating under what conditions they'll go to war justifies a war? Why does Egypt massing troops at their own border after Israel says they want war make Egypt the aggressor? It seems you're upset this video doesn't lead people to the conclusion you want. I actually thought it was slanted in Israel's favor for most of the video, so maybe it's fairly balanced after all.

The issue is that the first few minutes of the video where he goes over the historical context actually is an extremely biased view of the history.

@@meddown7035I think OP was meaning that not many people are willing to represent both sides of the conflict as it is pretty common nowadays to spew one sided information without taking into account the valid arguments of the other side.
In its current situation Israel only produces "security" as long as it can excersise overwhelming military force. It is folly to think that a state can continue such a status quo indefinetly.
"From 2008 until 6 October 2023, 1,434 Palestinian children were reportedly killed, with an additional 32,175 sustaining injuries, primarily at the hands of Israeli occupation forces. Of these, 1,025 children were killed in Gaza alone, since the unlawful blockade began in 2007." - UN Human Rights, ‘Unchilded’ from birth: UN expert calls for decisive protection of Palestinian children under Israeli rule, 24 October 2023
That is why it is an illegitimate entity. Its “security” is contingent on the genocide of others.
Sadly true. But Israel has made long-standing peace with Egypt, Jordan. And more recently in the Abraham Accords normalised relations with UAE, Bahrain, Morroco, and Sudan. And there would have been a peace deal with Saudi Arabia already if it was for the October 7th Hamas attack derailing those talks which were happening a few months ago.
Indeed it seems that Netanyahu and his government are (perhaps slowly, but faster than ever before in my adult life) losing support internationally. Videos like this, and the availability of information at our fingertips in general today make it easier to understand his warmongering intent and actions. It's become an endless stream of heart-rending news for both the Israeli people and Palestinians.
some people never really learn anything from history.
At 8:22 you said a new movement forms in gaza promising to fight back...called Hamas. But Hamas started in the West Bank in Ramallah. I'm curious to know how much fact checking actually went on in this video.
I'm trying to check that bit of data, and all I find is that hamas was founded by initiative of Ahmed Yassin, inhabitant of Gaza since his childhood, and thai it happened in Gaza.
That is because you are lying
Hey brother, thank you for exposing Israel's misguided strategy. It hurts. Where is it leading? Oct 7 caught me camping in Galilee with 45 college students... 3 years ago, the settlers nearly stoned me dead one day, just for wearing a Cross at public bus stop. They tore the Cross off of me, and began shoving, hitting, then throwing large stones. I am a Catholic priest with so many dear Jewish friends...and Palestinians, Arab Israelis, Lebanese... I always enjoy your videos.
As an outsider who has been watching conflicts in Israel since I was a little kid in the 1960's I have to applaud you for shedding light on an old problem. I'm not sure if peace will ever happen in that region because every time a decision is made there are some who are opposed and willing to use violence to reach their objectives. It only gets worse.
I learned a long time ago. The best solution to conflict resolution is one where all parties are not happy with. Sadly both parties are unwilling to reach a compromise which is why I agree with you that there may never be peace in the region
Do you call it a "conflict between naz-s and jews"?
Everything is wrong in this video. The cable he refers to in the beginning makes clear that Mr Yadlin regarded Hamas in power in Gaza as an outcome as preferable to a situation in which Israel had "to deal with Hamas as a non-state actor". Hamas has been clandestine before being in power in Gaza, they were hidden amongst civilians. So for them to be a mini-state was easier to deal with for Israel, than a group mingling amongst Palestinian and Israeli civilians! This video them wants to make the viewer think Palestine was a real country during its British rule. It wasnt an independent Arab state from 1917 - 1947, it was British and Arabs never called themselves Palestinian until the 1960s when terrorist Arafat started to use it. The (British) Palestine Philharmonic Orchestra of the 1940s was all Jews! The Arab farmers had no idea what a violin or trombone was ! Let alone play them in an orchestra. At 5:11 he says "Arabs would have to move to their side of the line". No, the 1947 UN Partition plan did not require any moving. But the Arabs rejected the plan because they wanted to stop Israel forming since it was a state to take care of Jews! They declared war on the newly formed Israel in 1948 with the stated goal of "throwing Jews into the sea". They lost, many Arabs fled! Some forced out. Tens of thousands of Jews were also forced out of Jerusalem by the Jordanian army.
mark my words..there will be peace there and the muslims will control it..
This video is terribly misleading at the time the jews moved to this claimed land it wasn't even called Palestine, and there have always been Jewish settlers there before the jews thought of creating a state of theirs
This is an incredibly difficult subject that is either not reported on or is when it is, is very one-sided. I feel you gave a balanced and unbiased summary of the atrocities in Israel and Palestine.
This was very pro-israeli compared to truth, it's pretty much the same as what the Zionist history revision is taught in Israeli schools, except its toned down
it is not a difficult subject, its a subject that need to be spoken with courage. its an occupation that had british and UN support
@@dunaaratam Thank you. To call it "difficult, complex, or hard" is cope. 😢 shits sad.
@@dunaaratam occupation from whom? What sovereign county was there before Israel?
@@joshuamusch6485 the sovereignty of Palestinians people. and the sovereignty of Palestine state which israel violated. both nations have sovereignty based on UN law. if anyone palestine is not a state, then israel never a state. both of them are using UN recommendation. if the law of the right to determine people sovereignty is used, then israel also never have any legal basis. palestenians are way more indigenous than any of those european refugee
The saddest part also is that from generation to generation Israelis have lived all over the world where they have been hated mistreated. They desperately wanted a land to live in peace Unfortunately they also have their tensions between the secular Jew and the more radical ones.
Also it’s not like Israel has no Muslims or other Arabs living in their lands. I in fact have been there in person. And let me tell you the Temple Mount still has a Muslim temple on it. So to say that Israel putting their citizens into the West Bank is illegal and Israel imposing their power, is a bit of a stretch. When you consider that other Arab nations like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan don’t want there to be a state for Jews. You’re also leaving out the numerous times where land was offered by the British to Arab nations for Palestinians and they denied them. There were no Israel citizens in Gaza leading up to the election of Hamas, because Israel fears for the lives of its people.
I'm a young Jewish girl. I recently converted. My life has been affected by Oct. 7th so much I can't even put into words. I'm not anti-Zionist but I'm not a Zionist at the same time. I've lost so much hope and trust in other Jewish people especially Jewish women who I've looked up to. I've seen what's been happening in Gaza and in Israel. People I've met and connected with are being killed, tortured, displaced, and even murdered by the IDF. I love Israel but how can I love a state that divides its people and even displaced Jewish Palestinians living in the area before 1948. I wear my Star of David with pain as I remember how the same symbol is being used to attack men, women, and children in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Free Palestine from a Jewish girl ❤✡🍉

@@Lpm100 the first step is to not be a moron. You wouldn't get it.
As someone who just spent a month in Gaza as part of the limited humanitarian response there, I want to thank you for the work you have done here. The individual responsibilities of the October 7th atrocities do indeed primarily lie with those who have committed them and with those who have planned them. But as it seemingly always is the case, it is now being used to legitimize war crimes committed against 2 million people, including children who, by definition are not Hamas. And taking more land in the West Bank, as always. So thanks again for calmly bringing up all this.
Hamas is the government of Gaza. 3000 gazans participated in the massacre. The idf does more to prevent civilian casualties than any other military. Israel builds bomb shelters for its civilians. Hamas created a network of tunnels to ensure an Iranian lead invasion of Israel, those same tunnels could have been used to shelter every civilian instead they used them to torture grape and mu rder hostages. There is no moral comparison here. Like Golda said, we can forgive you for killing our children we will never forgive you for forcing us to kill yours. We will have peace when you value the lives of your children more than you hate ours.
@@nicci337 What tunnels? Where are they? I saw the NY ones, still waiting to see the Palestinian ones. The one that the IDF did "discover" was actually made by Israelis before they got their troops out of Gaza, as admitted by an Israeli official on live CNN.

@nicci337 If Israel really cares about civilian lives, why do they bomb residential buildings, hospitals, mosques, and churches. We know hamas liberation fighters are not there, they are underground in the tunnels as you have mentioned.
@nicci337 You say that yet there's no war in modern history that has killed 23k civilians in 3 months.

That probably because the separation is from de facto occupation post-war, which making eclaves is ensuring strategic locations for defending. I do think israeli is unfair for double-dipping in both old land ownership claims (which some are questionable) from purchase and de facto war occupations. Also by building housing immediately and offer it for free to immgrant jews.

12:01 Does anyone know the link to this video? he didn't put it in his citations sheet.
It would've been cool if you added the fact that Hamas was created with the purpose of erasing Israel (according to their own statute).
Actually no, hamas started out as a political movement in aid distribution and so on, it gained political fame after the first intifada which then led up to it having such resolution, it was known for its extensive social welfare programs and aid distribution within Palestinian communities. Even before its militant activities gained prominence. Shaikh Ahmed yasin stated several times that his movements was to achieve an independent state and to remove settlements and European settlers. Therefore, his movements saw the protection of indigenous jews of the holy land.
It is important to recognize that just because someone (Britain) says a third party (Israel) can take your home that it does not justify a groups uprooting, displacement, and restriction of basic rights. We would not think that is reasonable if it was any of our homes so why do we think it is perfectly reasonable for others.
The way I look at it is group A is living their life. Group B comes in and tells em this is now THEIR land. Then group B gifts the land that they decided they own to their snot nosed Nepo child (group C) to do what ever they like
The reason that is stated ( not that I agree with in any way ) is that Jews lived here 2000 years ago. They have the right to take back their ancestral homeland.
@@claydogr1143 so ancient Greeks have the right to take back land lost in conquest? Same with the Native Americans across North and south America should be allowed wholly backed by Western nations on taking back all of Canada and US Mexico and South American countries from multiple nations still around today? The difference between what you're saying and what I'm saying is that there are multiple sources and accepted history writings with actual evidence that much of this land theft occurred over the last 500 years and all sides agree on the history. As well, entire populations of people have now multiple generations of ancestors that adapted to new languages and national ideologies etc that wouldn't be around if Spain or Portugal or England or France etc hadn't colonized the land previously... What YOU are arguing is wiping out the indigenous people of the region to make way for non indigenous people to take it over fully because "the book I read that was 'written by God' said it's totally cool because people of the same religion once lived there". There were Jews living in the region 2000 years ago... Same with a 1000 years ago... And 500 years ago and 200 years ago... Even in 1939...

"a matter of internal security - the age-old cry of the oppressor" ~Captain Jean-Luc Picard this quote always finds a way to remain relevant
You say you do not wish to go into the history of the conflict, yet you minimise a huge moment in its complex history by describing the war of independence as a moment when “Jewish militia expelled hundreds of thousands of Palestinians” - it was a defensive war. 5 Arab armies tried to destroy Israel and Israel won. You twist it to omit the major fact that Israel accepted, the Palestinians rejected and the Arabs declared war. That is context, history and facts that are required in this incredibly complex issue. Johnny has showed where leans with this approach from the start.
Very clear and concise information, thank you for making this video.
I am by far no expert on this all I can say is I was in Israel and in Palestine and seeing with my own eyes what the Israeli government does to the people there really made my stomach drop. I met the most impressive, honest and resilient people I have ever seen there.
You need to ask yourself why Israel treats the way it does, before 2003 the borders were open, no major checkpoints no walls, than the arabs took advantage of it and made terror attacks, suicide bombing, stabbing victims, shootings
Did you get to visit Hebron? If so, did you see that giant metal fence ceiling built by Palestinians above their streets and stores because the Israel settlers living above them kept throwing trash and bottles of piss on them?
'most impressive, honest' , not sure I agree with that. 'Resilient' sure. They don't know when to give up. Israel is the only country in the middle east with a functioning government and diversified economy. Without oil, all the other countries there would be a wasteland. Give some credit to Israelis.

You have several mistakes. 1) coming back to Israel by the jewish Zionism movement wasn't "coming from around the world to the one jewish land". It was coming home, jews were here to welcome them, jews who lived in Jerusalem, in Tzfat, Tel aviv and etc. however, the Arabs that were here were workers that came during the Ottoman Empire rule as a working force, the jews that were not expelled were still the native. How are the Arabs that came during the Ottoman rule ("Palestinians") are considered native? 2) 5:00 , not only "palestinians" had to move, also jews. Your "facts" are one sided. Jews were buying land in order to settle themselves and in the 2 state idea they would have to give up lots of it . More mistakes, I would love to have a talk with about the topic if you are interested. Studied it for 3 years + deep understanding of both sides (went on a tour in Israel, visited the west bank and talked with Palestinians and also Gazans, heard their stories and would love to pour information if you may)

Even when Ariel Sharon was in power he made a statement saying Israel was employing a form of apartheid against the Palestinians. Whats happening now is just a continuation of that policy.

12:00 anyone able to find the full leaked clip of the interview/conversation?
MASSIVE well done Johnny. I studied journalism and the Middle Eastern Studies and this piece is spot on, in terms of accuracy, balance, tone, videography and most important of all, insight, and by that I mean the ability to delve into the nitty gritty details but still able to look at the developments over the past decades from a high-level perspective. This is an extremely complicated subject and you've absolutely nailed it. I sincerely hope this video gets the clicks it deserves.
I don't believe he nailed it, you're more than welcome to read my comments to him below
Buddy you should keep studding, when you call hams a militant group...
@@EyalBenZeev Netanyahu is indeed the mastermind behind this conflict. because the Palestinian and Israeli people both want peace. How could Hamas' movement on October 7 escape Israeli intelligence monitoring? even though Israel has the best military strength and spy intelligence in the world. this is the fact Surely Netanyahu already knows that Hamas will attack on October 7. He didn't stop it because he would use it as an excuse to expel and eliminate the people of Gaza. How is it possible that Israeli intelligence cannot know about Hamas movements in Gaza which is only tens of kilometers from the Israeli border??? Can anyone answer 😆😆
I think he actually shows bias in this piece. A line that really stuck out to me was something like, “and every few years you fire a couple rockets at us”. That really downplayed the number of rocket and mortar attacks.
Why would anyone want to waste time on hasbara propaganda...@@EyalBenZeev
This video has been beautifully explained, both by the arguments and narrative and the well designed graphics. Thanks Johnny for making such a complex conflict so easy to understand.
with all respect but a 70 years conflict which causes the death of hundred of thousands of people couldn't be explained totally in 30 minutes. i hope you search more.
You're an asset to the world Johnny, keep doing what you do.
Keep up the good work!!
Minutes into it and i´m surprise by the guts and factual research you were able to share it with the public. Carry on
Carry on revising history. Let’s just ignore the centuries of ottoman rule, and the centuries under Moore imperialists that wanted to conquer France. Let’s ignore millions massacred by the Palestinians, in favor of 20,000. Let’s ignore countless peace offers with accurate land appraisals.
@@zachdave2994Arabs have been living there for centuries older than jews
@@zachdave2994Which millions?Israel had always been responsible for more deaths... Due to YT censorship,I'll put it here...it's the Turks that were responsible for the Armenian genocide...you are actually misquoting facts
Also,let's ignore that many groups have been moved way after jews were exiled from the middle east and they will never go back...let's ignore that if you buy land and someone says...it was mine 300 years ago,you wouldn't give it back...forget a 1000 years....let's ignore that with ancient Kingdoms,their rules were different from ours....let's ignore that there are more than 300M bantu Africans living in east and south africa but 3000-6000 years ago,their ancestors were in West and Central Africa but west and Central Africa isn't their home...instead,east and south africa is...by rules of their time,they made where they live their home and it would take a literal war to move them today
@@faithkerubo8357 Not if you count the millions that died by the hands of Palestinians in the very same region no later than 29 years before Israel existed. The IDF has been far less brutal to civilians, yet here we are with most people still supporting the other side. Yet here we are with many comparing the IDF conduct to the worst humanity has ever done. Your side is infected with ahistorical falsehoods and moral obfuscations.
Thank you for your continued efforts to bring context to global conflicts! I am surprised and happy to see that all comments agree with your summary and perspectives. Well done, sir! Please keep up the good work 🫶
21:19 "there is no excuse or justification for their actions" man the whole video is full of excuses and justifications, armed struggle is supported by international law against occupation.
@@abdoudrk8528 except for the fact that Hamas just committed some war crimes by deliberately bombing civilians and their homes. so yes there is no justification for the bombings on civilians
@@fractational the reason discourse on this conflict is so annoying and polarising is because both sides have for decades done horrific, illegal, immoral things to the other side and sometimes their own (often constituting literal genocide), citing the last time they got it done to them as justification. it's a never ending circle of stupidity and the real victims are the average people caught in the middle of it, and both sides leadership seem more than willing to use those civilians as pawns. P.S for the guy you were replying to, an explanation is not inherently an excuse.
@@abdoudrk8528I don’t believe his video is a justification for what’s happening, instead it’s background knowledge to help you understand what’s lead to this
@@danielmacpherson8487 a conclusion can be dirived from an explanation , in this case the conclusion is simple : invaders from europe came as refugees to palestine because hitler drove them out, then they turned against the people that welcomed them, and genocided them and keep doing so just to do a land grab, with the help and blessing of the "democratic" west from the begining of the conflict to this day, it's genocide it's not complicated.
This is the most accurate explanation for this situation that i have ever seen.
And now we know why they were so hated.
