How Israel indoctrinates its people w/Miko Peled | The Chris Hedges Report
Three months into Israel's bombardment of Gaza, the atrocities the IDF has committed against Palestinians are too numerous to name. Israel is staging a prolonged assault on the Palestinian people's very means of existence-destroying homes, hospitals, sanitation infrastructure, food and water sources, schools, and more. To understand the genocidal campaign unfolding before our eyes, we must examine the roots of Israeli society. Israel is a settler colonial state whose existence depends on the elimination of Palestinians. Accordingly, Israel is a deeply militarized society whose citizens are raised in an environment of historical revisionism and indoctrination that whitewashes Israel's crimes while cultivating a deep-seated racism against Palestinians. Miko Peled, former IDF Special Forces and author of The General's Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine, joins The Chris Hedges Report for a frank conversation on the distortions of history and reality at the foundations of Israeli identity.

End AIPAC. Out of America.
Apparently they have destroyed democracy in the US with their bribes, honey trap black mail operations & more!
AIPAC owns politicians in the US on both sides of the aisle. Joe Biden received almost 4 million dollars from AIPAC during his time in the Senate and he and the entire US is complicit in this genocide.
at the very least register them properly as a foreign entity operating on us soil
No, stay in America, in a high security prison!!!
Well said
I’m horrified by the lack of action by fellow Americans. I bring it up constantly and see mostly averted gazes. I try to tell people we are not powerless. I’ve been harassing all my politicians since October, and I email Joe at least once a day. This is unbearably shameful. The world cannot be the same again.
Thank you for your action. We do what we can however frustrating it seems. We will make a difference in the end.
Thank you. I try to go to every protest. It does work all these efforts otherwise you wouldn’t see the western governments trying to hide or rush the armaments to Isreal. Keep fighting.
That is great. Watching this made me think of calling as well. Miko said that until people come down hard on their government, it will continue.
40% of US citizens don't even want a cease fire. I had no idea the evil surrounding us was that bad. It is.
400,000 Americans marched in DC recently. They are standing up and standing strong against oppression, genocide and exploitation. Ending Empire isn't easy, but I see many people are tired of it and not going to let it go until freedom is achieved.
George Orwell - 'In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.'
This George Orwell was a very smart man!
@@Peekaboo-Kittymost times people like him were freemasons. They spoke wisely because they knew what the plans were. Or as we would put it he was a player in the game.
George Orwell, real name Eric Blair, was a member of the Fabian Society. As was Aldous Huxley, who apparently taught him. These were insiders. Their work often serving as a warning. Not simple ficticious novels or mere satire.
Shame all leaders don't understand this 😢 all over the world, if only the people united but is it to late I fear 😱
@@darrenlee9237 I don't believe that their work was so much a warning as it was predictive programming. It's a kind of helplessness inducer. You know it's coming but you are lulled into sitting and watching. Some just prepared but no one tries to stop it.
I grew up in a settlement in Israel in religious Zionist home, and went on a long journey to deprogram my belief system and see the truth of the situation. I think it’s important to have empathy and compassion for the people whose minds have been captured and indoctrinated, and have had the trauma of the Jewish people’s past weaponized to make them victims of this abuse. A captured mind can’t see beyond the filters of the program, even when it’s in front of their own nose. I know this, because that was me. I know more and more people who are going through an awakening process and have deep hope and knowing that the tides will turn and truth will prevail. Much love to everyone.
And Much LOVE TO YOU ❤❤😂
Before October 7, a Mexican friend had to travel with his wife to Israel, only for a couple of months, and they were shocked by the level of racism there.
Jewish supremacism is a real thing
LOL
Mummm...try England and little England America. 😂😅😂
@@MMariT I'm not sure if you've ever been to those countries but people get really angry at racists there
@@kingofallplants3775depends on the region some places ppl wont talk or look at u other placea are fine and some places u can be cussed out or followed around. Only when the racism makes it online do we as a country act offended by it.let it happen in person most people will put down their heads and walk away. But i get it though Israel is like america pre 1930 as far as race relations.
It is beyond rasicm, the Israelis described see the 'other' as animals.
@@beusda I know there is a weak political left in Israel doing their best to bring Israel back to sanity, but it's a long way back.
They consider themselves "chosen by God", how did we the rest of us expected anything other but this?
@@beusdayou forgot to add second class Arab Israelis who if you were to ask the majority of them would say they consider themselves Palestinians and not by the European colonialist term ‘Israeli’.
@@beusda Only Politically 🤣🤣🤣 what a way to diminish.
And vice versa, it’s so ironic that people complaining about myopic propaganda when they are guilty of it themselves
I’m so glad someone is talking about the indoctrination that happens to Israeli youth and Jewish youth in the USA too. The racism and xenophobia and dehumanization of Palestinians is deeply ingrained from a very early age. Not just society but in their schooling curriculum. It’s so important to understand. Right now most Israelis that see the protests around the world to free Palestine…Not only are they told that those protests are for Hamas. Which obviously they aren’t but for freedom which is what Hamas and all Palestinians wish for but they don’t understand at all why people are protesting. They are so far indoctrinated that they literally don’t understand why people around the world would wish them to stop attacking Palestinians In Gaza or the West Bank or even in Israel proper. They just don’t understand because they are so brainwashed. Also something he didn’t bring up that I think is important about October 7th is that it was a military operation. They attacked military bases. They never attacked the concert and were strict about attacking military targets. The did attack settlements but that was against Israelis who were shooting and attacking back. So sure the people around there didn’t expect it and life is good, but it’s very important to point out that the civilian deaths at the concert and the deaths in settlements with hostages and even the military bases, they were fired upon indiscriminately by Israel. When people talked about the horror of what the saw when they went in afterwards that was Israel’s destruction. They used helicopters and tanks and fired upon groups of Israeli citizens fleeing. They killed hundreds of their own people. Also hamas took hostages to exchange with Palestinian children who are held in Israeli prison. So they didn’t kill many there however isreal and the Hannibal directive which we’ve seen footage of they fired on those homes with hostages and Hamas. They fired on fleeing vehicles. They fired on buildings with hundreds of Israeli hostages. There were cars that were attacked and burnt to a crisp with only Israeli citizens and even a child in a car seat. That was the only baby that died and it was Israel. There was no beheadings. There was no cutting out of a fetus there was no rapes. There was none of that. Hamas didn’t tie up hostages and burn them to death. Israel fired on the building where the hostages were tied up and they all died together with Hamas. The lies and racism and dehumanization of Palestinians that Israel constantly spreads throughout the country and the world are lies. And the concert was fired on by Israel, civilians were fired on by Israel. There’s plenty of testimony and video footage of Israel firing upon its own people at a concert whether it was a mistake or not, it happened. Hamas doesn’t even have the weapons to do the damage people saw. And then they blamed Hamas and blamed Hamas for all the civilians that Israel killed themselves. Hell, Israel even blames Hamas for the civilian deaths in Gaza despite the fact that Israel is specifically targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure and not Hamas or their government. I mean they’ve even attacked the UN schools and refugee camps, and then blamed Hamas for all the atrocities they commit themselves. They mowed down pregnant woman with a tank but sure it must be hamas’s fault. They left babies to die and rot in incubators after promising to get an ambulance, but sure blame hamas. Anyway it’s important to at least point out that the destruction that people saw from Oct 7 was very much exacerbated and exaggerated by Israel’s own actions. And then they still went out there and lied through their teeth and said outrageous claims about hamas and Palestinians in order to ramp up racism and hatred of Palestinians. That was the goal. To make Israelis hate all Palestinians and believe them inhumane. When you think they beheaded 20 babies and raped hundreds of woman, and cut out a fetus from a pregnant woman or put a baby in an oven - all claims have been thoroughly disproven, are obvious lies and yet they served the purpose of making Israelis and people around the world believing Palestinians are monsters. Of course it’s all lies. Similar to the lies used against Jews by the Nazis. Which would be ironic if it wasn’t so awful. Still thanks for talking about this. The indoctrination is a serious issue when it comes to actually creating lasting peace. The IDF is posting their own war crimes on social media and celebrating them. They have no remorse because they don’t even see their own racism and bigotry and hatred. They are too brainwashed to realize they are killing innocent humans. Not monsters or human animals but humans. Just regular humans like the rest of us. Palestinians feel like their heart is ripped away when their loved one is taken from them. They pray and ask for help when they feel all is lost. They help and support each other when times are tough. They laugh and cry and fight when they feel there is no other way. And the celebrate when their child is returned home after being tortured in Israeli prison for 3 years, since age 13 for posting a picture of a Palestinian flag on social media. They are just human and I’m grateful the rest of the world is at least waking up to the atrocities of Israel. And it’s segments like this that help the world understand how serious the indoctrination of Israeli youth, and Jewish youth around the world can be. It’s a lot to go against, especially with all the obvious lies and propaganda that is parroted repeatedly about these attacks when none of it happened. The Israeli state has a very clear goal when they push these lies. And we cannot let them continue without trying to spread the truth.
Fantastic !!! Thank you !
You Ashley are just another symbol!
The state of Israel is a trap for the Jewish people. That’s the truth. If you go back to the start you will find out the wise choice would’ve been not to have a Jewish state in the first place and we need to go back and listen to those people and think about why the Jewish people somehow overcame the need for a state, because that’s pretty impressive
As I always said all Jews are not bad Like every thing there are good and bad in every race.the brainwashing however has gone to far so much so that antisemitism has reached an unacceptable level.This unnecessary killings must stop or we will all suffer
i spent 3 months studying Hebrew at the university of Jerusalem ten years ago and during my stay, I met an Israeli, probably a bit younger than Miko, and he told me that after participating in the war in Lebanon and receiving a medal for it, he decided to leave the country and he sounded disgusted by his own past and the country itself, and its army. he was back there to do business but both his children and his ex-wife were American. from what i gathered, there was no chance he would ever live in Israel again.
I met lots of Israelis in London who have obtained passports from the countries their great/grandparents fled from. They told me lots of Ashkenazi were applying for passports and after their compulsory military service they were leaving. The trouble is lots of settlers are moving in especially from the US and they are quite open about hating the Palestinian Arabs. When Shimon Peres was PM he forbid the building of any settlements on Palestinian land.
most people work for money and if they think too much about how our economic efforts goto we would be in stasis
@@deniseg-hill1730I thought Ashkenazi were exempt from military service, due to their religious studies? Or am I thinking of a different group of Js?
@@vcrossCelticfcI believe it’s Orthodox Jews that are exempt. Ashkenazi are the founders of Zionism.
@@vcrossCelticfc no,you`re thinking shit.
Aren't Americans brought up being brainwashed with the same sort of jingoistic shit?
Good one
Some are. Depends on the community.
Good answer. I'm being sincere, not snidely sarcastic. It really does depend on the community/environment.
Yeah, it's all about race sweetheart
@@InspiredByEbonyLove And the black ones ;) The level of ignorance in some Americans (especially the black ones) is shocking...

True

@@samtell2181The indoctrination worked really well on you
@@Alyssa320😂 hes a fool
God love Miko Peled.
I respect Miko. Correction. The Palestinians are not the weakest. To have and to be fighting 75+ years against such brutality. They are strong. They are a most remarkable people-and they will win. Free Palestine!
He was referring to to the civilians who are mostly children and unarmed .This is what he meant
Good observation, Stacey! Better for Miko to have said "resilient", because weak the Palestinians certainly are not.
@@MA-sk4fg unarmed children in Gaza?
Free Isreal
At the time they were weak because The British after Balfour Declaration was brutal to them crushed their resistance movement, killed their leaders in the 20's nobody was left to their future generations. And Arab neighbors was either weak or still under colonization
Fascinating! The lies we tell ourselves to justify our crimes. Thank you!
But there's always that small part of us that knows the truth and REFUSES to let us think anything else.
@@rippingtons60 Maybe. But fors this small part ever think about other side of equation ?
Exactly - Hamass supporters are telling lots of lies
For the spiritual meaning of conquering the Promised Land, this is what the Spanish mystic (saint) John of the Cross wrote: "We find another figure of this in the Book of Joshua. There we read that God commanded Joshua, who was about to enter into possession of the promised land, to destroy everything in the city of Jericho without leaving anything alive, neither men nor women, young nor old, nor any animals. God ordered him not to covet or seize any of the booty [Jos. 6:18-19, 21]. The lesson here is that all objects living in the soul - whether they be many or few, large or small - must die in order that the soul enter divine union, and it must bear no desire for them but remain detached as though they were nonexistent to it, and it to them. St. Paul teaches this clearly in Corinthians: What I tell you, brothers, is that the time is short; what remains and suits you is that those with wives should act as though they had none, and those who weep for the things of this world as though they were not weeping, and those who rejoice as though not rejoicing, and the buyers as though they did not possess, and the users of the world should behave as though they made no use of it [1 Cor. 7:29-31]. In this text the Apostle teaches us how detached our souls must be from all things in order to go to God." ~St. John of the Cross. ❤
You got a mouse in your pocket those aren’t my crimes those are the crimes of the ruling class not workers!?!!!😢❤ Just saying I’m just kidding OK just chill
When Miko learned that he was not the "good guy," he didn't change the meaning of the word "good." No he became the good guy by educating himself, learning from Palestinians. His ❤ was always good, and he stayed true to it as he discovered what really went on the unadorned, naked truth.
There is no absolute truth in this conflict.
Here’s one concrete fact: Palestine was ethnically cleansed to make this possible. This is the origin of this conflict. Do some research before hemming and hawing.
@@susanharrisdemorales3446but there is FACTS
Definition of "terrorists"; People who have been treated so badly that they start violently striking out. Remedy for "terrorism"; Treat people with kindness and consideration for their needs and their human rights and their properties and their lives. And encourage healing from past pains. ❤ USA, Brittian, Israel...etc., please stop hurting and killing and stealing from people.🙏
George Washington, Ghandi and Mandela were all considered the enemy of the state and hence labeled terrorists. They all started as a peace protest and thereafter militant if ineffective. Hamas is a product of the Israeli regime, in fact the Israeli government supported and funded Hamas in order to get rid of PLO - source New York Times.
Well said...
Sharon, I believe it’s not terrorism, it’s Resistance. The French and polish resistance people were celebrated when they were fighting and standing up against the other so-called master race.
Thank you Chris. This has given me a deeper understanding of the origin of the sickness within Israeli society that has bred a nation of psychopaths.
Actually, also an accelerated serious case of Shared Psychosis.
I am at a loss why my mild comments which are true are not published whilst extreme statements made by Israeli politicians are published
@@brendasmart553 yes that is a more appropriate description. Psychosis.
Look up "Shared Psychosis" specifically. It is kinda rare and mostly between 2 people, but I see it being like their political consequence.@@stevejagger8602

If anyone believes that schools educate not indoctrinate... is a lost cause...
Yes, social engineering
Idk about public schools in the north but public schools in the south and private schools definitely indoctrinate young white Christian children.

So it's been 1984 in Israel from the get go. Thank you, Chris... a most important, instructive interview.
1984 was written in 1948 the year of the Nakba.
Being told every single day from birth that you are one of "God's Chosen People" is psychologically unhealthy.
It would be a curse on any child's heathy developement. Maybe God was giving them the ultimate moral challenge.
Yes, that statement is misused and taken out of context by Zionists especially. Being chosen does NOT mean that Jews are better than anyone else. The statement is intended for the followers of Moses (peace upon him) who were the chosen people -- of their time-- to see miracles like the burning bush, the staff of Moses (peace be upon him) turn into a serpent in the land of bondage, Egypt and believe in One Living G-d. All Glory to G-d. Chosen to witness tne parting of the red sea. All glory to G-d. And, the dead bird come back to life for Abraham (peace be upon him) All Glory to G-d. Chosen to receive guidance of the 10 commandments. All Glory to G-d. The chosen people from which Jesus (peace be upon him) was born from. Though they believe not in him. (Peace upon him). All Glory to G-d. And the chosen people to receive the wrath of G-d as they will transgress guidance two times and be punished again. Jews are not the first or last people to be chosen. Adam (peace be upon him) was the first Prophet. All Glory to G-d. Every human descended from Adam. Every human is chosen and survived conceived from millions of competing sperm. Being a chosen people means being tested. Every people is given a prophet for guidance up until prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him). And every person receives their tests. Glory be to G-d who is ALL knowing. Ameen
Does God really have a “favorite”? Maybe we misunderstood the Bible? I find it hard to believe that God would have a favorite? It would just look bad and be bad!!!!
Kind of like what Americans are tought to believe 😂
REAL jewish people understand that being "Chosen" means it is their RESPONSIBILITY to LEAD others who are not of the faith to live a MORAL LIFE. It is TERRIFYINGLY awesome responsibility, because you have to carefully balance justice and mercy, left and right. In Jewish culture, they own up to their faults; ((ever hear of Jewish guilt?) It doesn't mean that god "favours them" unconditionally.
Miko is such a fantastic human being to be able to deprogram himself using his moral compass as a guide
he is such a great man and May Allah grant him jannah . we keep on praying for his wellbeing.. Allahuakhbar
Who is Milo lol!
Big deal
That is some feat to deprogramme oneself, the Hero’s Journey, I think this guy is amazing ❤
I don’t know but I like the guy already!
Israel is not a country its a military base.
Jewish brigade for the West
All support to the fellow human Mr. Peled! Decent people must move firmly and soon before it's too late.
It is a sign of hope that a man so indoctrinated throughout childhood, and surrounded by pro-Israeli sentiment as an adult, can have his opinion changed by the truth.
We need so many more hopeful signs.
I think it’s also important to remember that his father turned out to also speak out against Israeli war crimes and ended up going against the grain by reporting human rights abuses against the Arabs in the 1967 war. I would go as far as to say that a great deal of the Peled family are activists.
@@rai2423 That's interesting because I recently saw some supporters of the genocide grabbing at straws to undercut the credibility of the prominent Israeli and other Jews who speak out against the war and occupation (Finkelstein, Chomsky etc) and their theory re Peled was that "he hates his father." Sounds like he was in fact inspired by his father.
for the majority thats hard - our survival instinct is to follow and be in the in crowd/the majority for survival. If you read the story of David Black and how he left his fathers stormfront far right white supremacist indoctrination it included be ostracized from community and then being accepted by those he hated , that broke down the lies his father said
I am sorry, I understand the importance of understanding Israel and the entirety, from creation through present day….but as I listen I cannot help but feel the exact similarities as having grown up in a family of multigenerational military officers or in more common words as a military brat. My father like his father was an officer. He served in the Vietnam war, as a squadron commander and in aiding cia with reconnaissance. Most of his friends continued with the miltary and cia, with orquestrating the Iran-Contra scandal. To have these people in our home on holidays, their stories and laughter yet sunken hollows behind their eyes…. I was raised to shoot and be a survivalists before school age. However before adulthood I became an activist, a black sheep one might say. I advocated before the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and actually left the U$ for good. The damnation I received from my family and the government for siding with law and morality was the climax of hypocrisy. Now today, these beyond saintly men are broken and abandoned by their amorality and beliefs in a criminal government. Their minds and bodies plagued with the chemicals and nightmares of war.
Yes the parallels are striking. Thanks for sharing your story.
Since the WW1 actually, by Britain's arrangement.
@@JillT123this is why the US are helping israel : two satanic regimes.
So sorry. Thx for your story.
Wow !
I am an Israeli who left 10 years ago because of the occupation and the slow genocide of the Palestinian people.
Not enough of u to make a diff never the less I applaud ur courage and values and hearing it prevents me from slipping down .the slippery slope of hating Jews entirly, after attending synagog a a youth with my friend and his family.
My brother in law Shaul Ilan, born on kibbutz, refused to serve inIDF. He was imprisoned, tortured and eventually he as deported in 1978(?). He and my sister moved to Canada and he passed some years ago.
😢😢😢
May he rest in peace, he was a strong and kind man who fought for truth and justice
Bless you both for telling the truth.
Who was telling the truth 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Do they have a report on Hamas’ indoctrination of Palestinians? No. This is biased reporting.
The truth speak for itself. Mountains of lies can't hid it when it shines above the mountain
Not just a conversation, Miko Peled is laying out how to end the apartheid state of Israhell, a strategy really
Israel is not an apartheid state. That is BS. There are many Palestinians that live happily and fairly in Israel. Palestine on the other hand does not accept any Jews and have actual kid shows about killing Jews. Palestine has repeatedly refused peace deals and Israel only started the restrictions and borders because of the constant barrage of rockets and suicide bombings killing Israelis. Israel has a right to exist.
Refusing to free the kidnapped hostages creates an ocean of morality for the IDF rescuers to sail upon.
Great questions and responses - both are men of conscience and the more people hear this, the better the world can become
These two gentlemen have more courage, integrity, and intelligence than all of the global political leaders, combined and compounded. They sustain my faith in humanity & consider Chris & Mike the 👑👑 of integrity 🙌🏽👊🏽🙏🏼👊🏽🙏🏼🤟🏼
My friend fought with Poland in WW2. He told us when we were kids, those are zionist, not semite/ Hebrew jews. They went in 1948 and have systematically stole those people's land. He passed away years ago but I remember all this after 9/11
True
Interesting. How did he know then?
@Cui-bono987 as he told us, after WW1. When Germans fought, the "jews" would cut their trigger fingers or other things so they would be unable to fight. When soldiers came home, the Jewish people for the most part owned alot of land, businesses, etc. This is foundation of what Hitler used as propaganda to go at them. When WW2 happened Hitler made it one of his acts to criminalize this group of people. He had national sentiment because so many people had similar feelings. He said many of what you call jews speak Yiddish, not Hebrew and many are not Hebrews but polish. This is something I learned from research as well as a rabbi I knew confirmed. He said they call non jews Goy or something like that and we are beneath dogs. This is known and inside the Talmud as well.
It started 100 years before, its tainted history. They wrote THE BOOK.😂😂😂

I love the Arabic calligraphy on Miko’s bookshelf, it says the house of Palestinian Liberation, keep on saying the truth, you are awesome both of you are awesome
And thank you for the translation - I was curious. My mother is Christian Palestinian but I'm ashamed to say I never learned it. My uncle taught my daughter to write her name in Arabic and when she returned to school in the UK she wrote English right to left.

they are great, but there is zero hope right now. There is a genocide happening as I type this, and Zog is gaining power not losing any.

@@drewdrewson1384there are several REAL genocides going on, like in Syria, Yemen and more.. over 1M deaths, but i don't see anyone commenting about that
Tentura is a perfect example of IDF atrocities early on.
I just read about Tantura in Ilan Pappe's book "The ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians", really horrible.
The documentary Tantura is a must watch. Hear from the mouths of those who carried out the killing.
You can watch it for free here on KZhead
@@Dickie2702 I had to take breaks, I felt dirty just watching it.
When you watch Tantura, you see the theft the murder the lies and then those old monsters laugh. You see the real face of Zionism. Rotten to the core for over 100 years. The mask of silence has slipped off. I hope no one ever buys their false mythology again.
Thank you Miko and Chris for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Denying aid (food,water etc) is known as the "Scorched Earth" policy used by the British in the Boer War in South Africa which I am sure you all know but for diplomatic purposes give it a different name. It is simple... they are starving people to death
Not just its people but also many in the U.S. government and groups such as neocons warmongers.
Black and Brown people best too pay attention to what is being done to the Palestinians...because this could be us one day...this type of hatred never goes away it just hides in the shadows.
Exactly
It has been us on a mass scale in the not so distant past mate. Many of us have never forgotten. Its the same Colonial Mindset that the Palestinians are facing.
It's not even a vague "one day" situation. Our police are trained to use the same brutal tactics and our surveillance tech was tested in Gaza. The genocidal tactics used to destroy communities and seize land from Palestinians were already used on Indigenous and Black communities in the US in the past. Hell, that's the reason a number of states barely have much black or brown communities outside of very recent immigrants.
Thanks I said the same thing too
You should cooperate with the immigrants too
to Elisabeth 432, the Israeli soldier when they entered Lebanon, and advanced toward Beirut, they saw, how Lebanese were living, some of them were invited in to their house and they saw the poorest Lebanese had tv ,car, and enjoy life. they found there is no racism,being hospitable, to their enemy, it was life changing experience. Miko Peled is a saint, in old times Saints were in Monasteries, but today Saints come in the civil world and any religion, they come to change the world.
Did you know in some states in America, it's illegal to boycott Israeli goods and services? I thought USA was a secular independent nation and aren't controlled by middle Eastern nations or their religious views? What changed?
Thank you for speaking up. Bless you.
Love Mico Peled!
Left when I was a kid over a decade ago. As I gotten older more and more I know the truth. Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 #free #ceasefire
Love listening to Miko Peled, a man of integrity.
I just watched the documentary "Tantura". It describes exactly , waht is said here. Only very few Israelis who were there when it happended (when they did it), want to remember. If one wants to dig deeper (Teddy) he becomes an outcast.
Now read someth8ng like The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestind by Illan Pappe, and you realise there were countless Tanturas. A Google search for, 12th august 1949 Kibbutz Nirim Guardian. This will take you to an article in the UK newspaper, the Guardian. I'll not comment on its contents save to say whatever happened on October 7th wasn't the first act of disgusting brutality in this conflict.

The craziest thing for me, as the child of 2 American military members, how much of his story resonates. 🇵🇸
This interview is like a drink of cool water on a scorching hot day. Thank you.
No it’s hearing what you want to hear, not once do they even bring up the Israeli point of view.
The whole interview was about the israeli view, and from a guy that was in it deep@@17Trees33
@@17Trees33So, you see an Israeli born in Jerusalem talk about the oppression and genocide of Palestinians from the Israeli point of view for an hour and the first thing that comes to mind is “wHeRe iS tHe iSrAeLi pOv” But he’s the one “hearing what you want to hear” like come on buddy. You are literally hearing voices in your head if that’s your takeaway.
Miko is Israeli LOLOLOLOLOL nice try BOT @@17Trees33
@@Clippidyclappidy what i meant was the general historical Israeli view, this guy wasn't alive during the 40s and 50s was he, nor was he around during the countless Intifiada's and Arab league attacks, he was a baby when those happened And just because he as an Israeli supports the Palestinian narrative (which is fine) doesn't mean it's from the Israelis point of view. Would you say the same for a Palestinian Arab supporting the Israeli view? because plenty of those exist and are around in the world not only on the internet or on the news, and it's not nessecary to be patronizing that's not helping anyone but make yourself feel better, He does bring up his own point of view which is important im not denying that, but it doesn't go without saying that he mocks it by the tone of his voice and has a ton of implications which he doesn't go into detail about, leaves vague not to mention that this news channel is pretty biased with and within itself but that's irrelevant. Israel has done plenty of bad things within it's history i think we can both agree on that, however it is not for no reason or government gain like this guy claims at all, and a lot of the myths which he mocks and this title says is indoctrination actually is true and is founded in truth, it's just fact that Israel's arab neighbours have attacked it multiple times throughout it's history startinf from the day it was created, Terror attacks, horrendous ones, the recent October 7th, and even further back like the countless Bus bombings, Yom Kippur Restaurant bombings and the Intifada's are the reason the Israeli government is so paranoid in the first place, what makes me frustrated are people who claim that it's all false, and that the Arab nations are the victims. Yes it's extremely bad what's happening to people in Gaza, but the poeple claiming to be protecting them, Hamas, are using them to gain moral support on the international stage, and the Hamas leaders who are worth billions sit in huge mansions in Qatar while their people are getting bombed everyday, yes it's horrible even Israelis can agree on that, But Hamas who were voted in by the Gazans have brought this upon themselves. And to finish off about the Sinai, Israel gave that back to Egypt, the stragetically important both militarily and economically as it sits on the Suez canal, Sinai, Israel gave the entire Mass of the Sinai back to Egypt so not really sure what he means when he brings that one up.
Respect for both of you
Stop Genocide. Free Palestine.
Brilliant interview I learned so much ! Thank you both
I worked with a Palestinian in the states who said one wrong thing to an Israeli soldier and was beaten mercilessly, and, once he was on the ground, soldiers jumped on his back. He was left for dead with a broken back and barely survived. Thankfully he was able to recuperate. With all the racial animus in Israel highlighted by this interview, I can understand why they were willing to hurt him over a small comment he made.
It's a racial supremacist system. Always has been. Racial supremacy can only be maintained through ruthless violence
And why history never liked them anyway
That comment is unnecessarily antisemitic. Shame on you from an anti-zionist. @@phillipholland6795
Thank you for your truth. Don't let people gas light you.
It is so sad that you believe him (if he ever existed at all), let alone spread that lie here to further incite this mob. Suffice it to read the comments to realize how insane the blood libels still are after all these centuries. Just to clarify: no way did any Israeli soldier beat up someone over a "comment". I would like to know how he even came into interaction with soldiers, since they don't roam the streets on a regular basis. If he did get beaten (which I doubt), then he did something like charge at someone with a weapon. There is plenty of footage showing the incredible restraint Israeli soldiers exercise. I know you're not in the habit of questioning, but try asking yourself: if Muslims are so peaceful and just, how come all Muslim countries in the Middle East such atrociously violent, failing and oppressive places? Then inquire how it is that only Israel is a democracy, where Arabs are judges, engineers and doctors? By the way, in the IDF Jews fight together with Druze, Christians and Muslims. Just one of many trifles conveniently overlooked by your hero.
The Israeli Jew cried about the Nazis and Hillter...but look at want they are doing to the Palestinian people's very means of existence...this is shameful...this is pure hatred at it's best.
The early founders of Zionism had an agreement with Hitler!!
@@InspiredByEbonyLove I listened to one famous politician, he is a Jew, he said that behind Hitler there were Jewish elites, bankers, and in fact he was their hired manager, and a puppet, and that the people whom they led through the Holocaust were consumables for them in their strategic plans, I have read more than once about people whose authors were banned because they wrote on this topic, they began to be persecuted. I listened to a lecture by a very famous public figure and scientist, who also raised this topic, telling how the persecution bypassed their elite and why.
It's a HOLOCAUST.
Im sorry, but being a greatgrandaugter of 6 people who were killed in the holocaust, I beg to differ. Yes there is great suffering in Gaza, but one cannot compare. The reason there is so much suffering there is because of Hamas and not anyone else. had they cared for the palestinian population so much they would have 1) democratic elections in Gaza (and not killed of all opponenets) 2) Taken the billions in human aid and built Hospitals, infrastructure, schools, better sanitation etc. (do you know they took the pipes germany sent them, costing 100 million Euros and made the missiles to shoot Israel with, and not to improve the aqua system, so they have to depend on Israel for water 3) would have not prevented people from leaving areas the israeli army warned would be bombarded, either by pursuasion or coercion. 4) not steal the human aid that the Iaraelis and others provide for the top hammas people and the list can go on and on, but most people have made up their mind already , so facts dont count
@@lystein1070 Untill 1939 every Jew could leave Germany for Israel/Palestine. German government recomended that: -"go to your promised land". Why German Jews didn't like Israel then?
Miko Peled's humanity shines from his eyes. We need people with his spirit in power.
Miko represents the best of humanity and the Jewish people. Sending strong support to you ❤
Chris Hedges is THE G.O.A.T. 💯
Yes. He needs to be heard by as many people as possible.
He should be given an award for his wonderful work and also he should present an award also in the name of all the independent journalists who lost their lives, bringing Israel wrongdoing to light. 68 joirnalist made it possible. Chris Hedges is one amazing man. The very best I have heard when it comes to this conflict. He covers important topics on Israel/Palestine. I share his work as much as I can to bring many into this awareness. Long live ✊🏻 Palestine. We will FREE Palestine!! Free 🇵🇸
Within the first two minutes, Chris says more than others who ramble on for hours attempt to communicate. Thank you.
Outstanding summary of the facts in the Préambule by Chris Hedges from onset to 3 minutes 45 seconds. All reasonable confirmed professors on the subject corroborate this succinct presentation. It s always Deir Yassin all over again. Great guest, honest and courageous. I ll buy his book!
Thank you Mr Peled for shedding light and sharing the truth on this sensitive matter. Great human! Humanity above all.
chris hedges i thank you for all your hard work getting the truth to people like myself who have had the bbc for years and all the lies
Can't even watch the BBC now it is like children's programming.
Well done gentlemen Standing up for humanity, plain and simple. You make more sense than any politician out there
Thanks for this. Miko is truthful, moral and on the right side of history.
Great Program Thank You Very Much to both of you World's need more jurnulist like you both 🙏 🙏❤️🙏🙏
It's adorable that your guest thinks Americans have any control over our govt or foreign policy. I agree with him wholeheartedly, regardless. This has to stop.
by your estimation, are we dealing with a systems failure, or would you say the system is working *exactly* as intended?
I understand that, as an American, you don't have a democracy. I feel for Americans with a conscience. In Australia, although our media is biased towards the ruling elites, we have preferential voting so my vote truly does matter. However, you can, as an American, still do something. If Americans vote third party in big enough numbers (as long as it isn't for RFK), it will pressure the two parties to shift their policy on Israel. Yes, unless your voting system changes, you are stuck with only Republicans or Democrats in power, but you can influence their policy direction.
@@AK-np4rpI plan to vote for a 3rd party candidate in the next Presidential election in November, it may be a wasted vote but at least my conscience will be clear!
@@nazemabdelfattah5115 Only not voting is a wasted vote because your vote sends a message to the duopoly that people aren't happy with either party. The more people do this, the more likely parties will shift their policies.
Israel owns the U.S. government. Around 98% of the legislature and of course the President have made loyalty oaths to Israel. Netanyahu was recorded saying and laughing about it. Look up Netanyahu at Fink’s Bar.
1. Tell your people they are the chosen ones (e.g. Israel, the U.S., Ukraine) 2. Keep repeating it until they all believe.
Wasn't it Goebbels who said something to the effect of: Tell a lie, make it big, tell it over and over and they will believe it.
Great analysis, Chris. Very educational. Please keep educating and spreading the truth.
Thank you very much. This was extremely informativ.
Thank you for this important video and thank you Miko Peled for your powerful testimony.
Listening to Miko Peled gives me hope that there are still honest and truth-worthy individuals, He speaks with such compelling truth that it is enlightening to listen to him
A couple of points I'd like to make are: Maybe 10.07 was worse in how many Israeli's got killed, but if the Palestinians took back 22% of their land in the early 70's, that would make that attack worse. Take into account that the IDF may be responsible for as many as 20% of the deaths on 10.07 by virtue of the Hannibal doctrine, and 10.07 looks less and less like a terror attack and more like the insurgency it actually is. Then there's the bit about the holocaust. Ashkenazi were being murdered by Germany, not Sephardic, or Israelis. There may have been one here or there, but 99% of the Jews who were being exterminated were Ashkenazi. This is important because: A: Israelis were safe except for their own war they were waging at the time. B: While Israel loves to play the holocaust card, and they love the Ashkenazi for qualifying that card, they actually sponsor archeological and anthropologist's research to work to find biological proof that the Ashkenazi are not ethnic Jews and therefore do not have a right to Israel the same way as ethnic Jews. This would essentially make them second class citizens in Israel. So Israeli racism knows no bounds as they'll gladly cannibalize their own if they feel it suits their purpose. And they themselves dishonor the memory of Jews exterminated by Germany in the 30's and 40's.
Good points. It's very hard to change the narrative of the 7th Oct, since the dominent impression the impassive general public get is that of 40 babies beheaded (even though dropped as propaganda), it was replaced with stories of horrific rape. This impression is hard to shift. People are generally less interested in the truth these days.
THIS!
And the invention of Mizrahim. The false flag attacks in Baghdad making those Arab Jews think the Arabs were attacking bc Israel needed more Jews to fill up Israel, but when they got there, they were like EEK!! They are so Arab, so they ethnically cleansed them of their likeness of Arabs. Did you know they created modern Hebrew too? Biblical Hebrew was a dead language so they felt they needed their own language for their new identity. They started creating it around 1880 and even made up thousands of words. The man who made it, made his wife only speak Hebrew to their son. It's an amazing feat and by around 1922 the Brits declared Hebrew the language of Jewish Palestine. All this work of Zionism decades before it became a state. Christian Zionism is also a new invention that came from Scofield Reference Bible and with the help of Zionists. This is where the rapture came from, that the Jews must return n build temple so Christ can return. That got popularized in the 70's and took over a lot of Christianity in the West. The conspiring that has gone on to achieve Israel and keep it is vast. There's conspiracy that under Al Aqsa there is hidden knowledge by the Free Masons. Arafat lost it when Israelis started tunneling under it and it caused a major uproar. Maybe one of the Intifadas. But this is probably the belief of the new religious Jewish Zionists that author was referring to. All of this needs revealed. We are being controlled by Zionists in two religions.
Yes I read the izraelis call holocaust survivors *"soaps"* I'm serious.
Reminds me how the Democrats in the US are trying to "cannibalize" Trump supporters. It seems those in power will do whatever it takes to retain that power.
I can after listening to this gent say, today I have heard from a real Jewish hero! So refreshing.
Thanks for your courage to spread truth!
You are a great man and a wonderful journalist Chris, thank you for these reports and for presenting the truth. You are a light in the middle of all this media darkness and all this lack of humanity and decency of all the western crooked journalists.
western journalists don't dare or are censored, I think you know well who controls all media as well
I had a rich connected Israeli who was made rich working for the government, whose unknown job was created with the US aid, use the money he made from US aid to buy a house in Hollywood and throw out my friend who was a black artist and actor from the golden age. The stress of having to move at his age killed him. That's what they do with our aid. That's why the Pentagon refuses an audit. Little of that money goes to "defense", a lot of the rest of it goes into the stock exchange to pump ups stocks of rich oligarch families and put it on the natl debt for the next generation to pay off. This is justified claiming our oligarch families need to stay rich as a form of propaganda against other countries, at the expense of our poor and vulnerable. Audit the Pentagon, and audit all aid.
Exactly
Same kind of thing they did to Germany
Very sad loss of your friend, what was his name?
Merci de m'avoir aidé à décrypter cette folie collective qui conduit a la déshumanisation de soi et de l'autre et permet de justifier les pires crimes.
Such an interesting and important talk. Thank you very much!!
✌️😎💚🇵🇸 From Jerusalem AlQuds
Every real crime against Jewish people is no longer an excuse, but another reason why Israel now should know better
Amazing interview, an eye opener, I wish all Jews could watch this fantastic piece of truth
Not just Jews.
Miko Peleg is a true hero! He tells the truth that Israelis cannot face without lying to themselves or to the whole world
Miko risked everything for his humanity. Much respect!!!
Admiration, for Miko Peled. For standing up for the Palestinians’ rights. Hope he is not rare among the Israeli population.
Unfortunately, his views are not commonly held, much less voiced and espoused.
I've heard Miko's story several times over the last decade and it remains inspirational to me. I recall Miko joining Palestinian protests at the wall week after week for a few months as well. I'm so happy to see him speaking out again at this important time and wanted to express my love and appreciation for Miko and his steadfast dedication to justice.
It is all, Inter-Twined, with Global, Social, Tribal CONFLICTS of Biblical Proportions. They always come with Religion in one hand Form of Godliness in the other.
With emotions being high right now, it's very difficult for me to listen to this interview. I can only handle so much anger and not allow it to consume me. It's a battle for balance right now. "Be angry, yet sin not.". From what I have gathered from this and other interviews is that Zionists became what they hated. Better to be the victimizer than to be a victim ever again. But they struck out against, as mentioned, not the people who committed the genocide against them, but at everyone around them that wasn't a part of their group. Given the same impuntiy that the SS were given. Basically bringing with them the same tools that had been used by the Nazis against them, to subjugate those around them. It hasn't escaped my attention that they have taken the flag and the Psalms of King David, yet ignored completely the Proverbs of King Solomon his son. Great Wisdom given to him on life and conduct. Had that also been adopted, taught and followed, they would have been loved and respected. Not needing the military might they've gathered or the brutality they've adopted.
The abused child became the abuser.
Stick to facts not emotions if you want to debate
Pro Peace Pro Freedom
My take from this talk is the Palestinians are more resilient than Israel bargained on.
Imagine a directive what are you can’t talk about what really happened to your people and what your grandmother and grandfather told you. As an American non-Jewish person I feel like I’ve fallen through the Looking Glass. How did we not know any of this?!
😐PSA/Warning: US gov't employees + defense contractors can be charged w/ complicity in War Crimes re: 18 US Code § 2441 & complicity in Genocide under 18 U.S. Code § 1091
You mean employees related to politicians, defense and police systems. You can't charge postmen, water treatment operators, food inspectors, city maintenance workers, or farm station workers for example. A lot of jobs qualify as government employees but have nothing to do with politics or war.
Freedom for Palestine
You mean death to Israel and freedom for the five terror groups who actively seek it's destruction right? Or do you know nothing but internet nonsense?
Safety for Jews.
@@johnaweissthose two things are NOT mutually exclusive. Did you watch the video at all?
@@lulam8840 When i heard "settler colonial", I heard enough. Israel is militarized because the Jews were attacked by Palestinian Arabs for decades before Israel was founded, and then attacked from all sides by Arab armies when it was founded. The Palestinians collaborated with Hitler. Every country turned away Jewish refugees who were trying to escape the Nazis. Israel is a refugee state -- refugees who were fighting for their survival. The biggest slavers and colonists in history are Muslims and Christians. Israel is 1/18th the size of California. The Muslim world occupies 30 million square kilometers.

LOVE IS THE SOURCE PaulTeich©10/31/2023 This poem is about talking to God about love Love is the source of all things You are the source of all things We can feel your love Can you feel ours? We can see examples of your power Can you see ours? Are ours destruction or planting flowers? How do you view us from your ivory tower? What keeps evil at bay?

You have given us love to turn Earth into Eden You let us know we were without true gnosis with the apple Adam had eaten Letting us know we get intrinsic worth from giving a rib and not from beating Please take away indifference, give us peace and make us care if everyone is eating Love is the source Whether it comes from you or me, love takes us to heaven on a winged horse May peace, love and poetry save the world!!!
