Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Is there a path to peace?
Things look bleak in the Middle East after Binyamin Netanyahu scorned America’s push for an end to the fighting. But in private he’s said to be more flexible. Could diplomacy actually work?

arabs NEVER wanted peace. Never since 1948. They get what they wanted.
Spoiler alert: palestinians don't want peace.
@@GracePew-ek3rm you are right. They want their kids to live and will do anything to ensure the lives of their children. If foreign soldiers come knocking on my door in America I wouldn’t want peace either, would you beg for peace if Chinese soldiers were knocking on your door?

Have you ever asked yourself if the Palastinians even want a two state solution? The first rule of negotiation is to underatand what each side desires
Always ask the same questions to both sides. And use the same metrics when measuring both sides.
Yes Palestinian want a state in gaze, West bank and east Jerusalem do your research
Saudi Arabia was the country that presented the Arab Peace Initiative in 2002. What the statement indicated does not deviate from any attempt since then to give peace a chance.
Saudi Arabia has repeatedly stated its affirmation that there must be a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital as a solution to the decades-long Arab-Israeli conflict.
Yes But Palestinian people don't want to share their land with Zionists occupants They accept to keep fighting till the last breathe till the total liberation of Palestine
It was never about the hostages, it was always about land grab.
Yeah sure, that's why Israel withrew from gaza in 2006 completely right?
@@BM11961 You seem confused...

Yes of course, il faut juste arrêter de se battre.
Great advice from The Economist who lost £71 million last year
Did the rule based order touting Economist put something out on Genocide and war crimes being committed by Israel or they plan to continue to pretend that is not happening?
The Economist is just a propaganda outlet primarily, so if you want to get a balanced, impartial read-out... go elsewhere.
I mean, who knows, and for how long. If you want peace, work for justice. And control your lions if you can't support your progeny.
The land is so big, why cant both stay together in peace.
israel has no right, lets say you have a mansion and then i get a few rooms just for me even though i didnt pay you or anything, you wouldnt say "will my mansion is big so its fine"
i didn't read the full story of what happened way back but if im not wrong the jews stay in the land first. @@CrustaceanAllergyEnjoyer

NO.
In alleys and streets, the voices rise, Echoes of resistance, touching the skies, From every corner, young and old, Palestine’s story, bravely told. Stone against might, hand in hand, On this sacred, cherished land, From dawn to dusk, they remain firm, With every chant, their spirits affirm. In the heart of conflict, love remains, Through the struggles, through the pains, For in each echo, hope persists, In the land where resistance exists.
Who is the writer of this wonderful poetry? Thank you.
this will not bring back the dead palestinians lil bro
Don't forget that the aggressor is the Hamas and it's a terrorist group not a movement which wants to liberate Palestinians. So dont promote the Hamas please
0:12 "…including Israel's recognition of a Palestinian state" - What does this even mean? To recognize something, it first has to exist.
That's what "recognition of *A* Palestinian state means; if one already existed the phrase would be, "recognition of *THE* Palestinian state." Beyond that, there already *_is_* a Palestinian state -- Israel. Palestine is a *_place,_* not a *_race;_* in similar fashion to Los Angeles being a place but "Angelino" not being a race, it is somebody from Los Angeles no matter their ethnicity. There are Arab Palestinians and there are Jewish Palestinians; there are also Druze, Circassians, Armenians, Christians of a number of different denominations, and a smattering of other races and nationalities. Zuheir Mohsen -- a Palestinian leader between 1971 and 1979 -- in a March 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw: “Between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese there are no differences. We are all part of ONE people, the Arab nation. Look, I have family members with Palestinian, Lebanese, Jordanian and Syrian citizenship. We are ONE people. Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity. Because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel and for Arab unity.
For decades the Palestinians had the Pay for Slay, no one batted an eyelid. Now Israel is defending itself and everybody's crying. You reap what you sow.
What’s the long term civilian death toll on both sides? (For this exercise, be fair. If a person who has completed military service is a civilian, then a kid with a rock is too).
Isn't a bit irony..most peaceful community demanding peace with most peaceful methods 😂😂
Oh dear, you've made a video about Jews and Muslims... Just a few things to remember: everything you've said is wrong, racist, [enter word]-phobic, too sympathetic, not sympathetic enough, far too aggressive but could also do with being more aggressive.. Now, to watch the video.....
Beast peace cometh and then the end
Four stages of repentance. Stage 1, you realize that you done wrong. Stage 2 there are feelings of guilt about your sins. Stage 3 you renounce your sin or turn away from it. Stage 4, you're restored that when repentance takes place
palestinians don't want peace
It's one stage, there is no peace as long as there are Palestinians living in the land of Israel, Gaza, the West bank, Jerusalem, it's all Israel
The movement considers the land of Palestine to be an Islamic stand and a historic homeland for Palestinians with Jerusalem as its capital. The movement adopts the institutional system organizationally, and the consultation adopts decision-making as represented in the Shura Council of the movement. The movement confines its resistance to the Israeli occupation only, and has no battle with any party in the world. It only resists those who fight the Palestinian people and occupy its territory, and resistance at Hamas is a means, not an end.
@@user-vr8si9gj6m there is no occupation, the Jews want their land back
It's possible, but Pali needs to agree to it

@@jerrymiller9039 Right you are. And worse.
Very sad to Palestinian,
Where is World War 3? When is the solar storm? The economist 🤔
After this war (which I hope will end quickly) a few things must happen: Hamas can no longer rule Gaza, their reckless "operations" put their people at risk time and time again. The current israeli goverment must resign. It never tried to search for a long-term solution to this conflict and failed to protect their people as well. The Palestinian authority must recognize Israel as a country and (sorry for the reguritated term) condemn Hamas and its actions. If they want to govern Gaza they need to prevent agression on their behalf Those three things will lead to a fertile land for a long term solution.
No. Because It's Impossible.
Is Israel going to rebuild what they destroyed?
Can I have my time back?

Evolution and natural selection will do the work we will just have to watch
I dont see how. Small chance if the Iranian regime falls.Theheran always supportd the most violent Palestinian facyion. But even then. And if thete is peace. Thete is only rubble. And thousands of deaths on both sides. Tell me how. I want to know. I know 2 ways but those are to horrible to consider.
You are pathetic...
Benjamin Netanyahu is 74 years old he has been told he will be the last Prime Minister of Israel when the Jewish Messiah comes. In addition, unblemished Red Heifers have been delivered to Israel, which is very rare. Its ashes need to be placed to build the 3rd Temple in Jerusalem. To sum up, Benjamin Netanyahu sees himself as the Messiah's helper and he is fulfilling divine prophecy.
Probably fake Messiah. Jesus won't set foot on the ground! Nor would we condone this violence and death!
Source?
Don't know about any of that. From what I've actually seen, Netanyahu is just a run-of-the-mill Mass Murderer
Israel not choosen people anymore.. no more 6days war won😅
It's not a conflict; Israel is occupying Palestinian.
No it's not
If the bible is historically accurate, then everybody is just squatting. The region historically known as Palestine has been inhabited by various peoples throughout history, including Canaanites, Philistines, Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Ottomans, and more. The Israelites, led by Joshua, are said to have conquered the land of Canaan around the 13th century BCE, according to the biblical narrative. So, there were inhabitants in the region before the Israelites arrived.
@@momoca-kun Every piece of land in the world, including the one you live on, was once someone else's. What is your claim? I do not understand
Peace is only possible by eating spiritual food. If you starve yourself of spiritual food then you will die a spiritual death. And the food everyone needs is Jesus and His Truth.
Israel
But the Palestinian people are innocent😢
Palestine predates Jews. When the Prophet Abraham (Peace be Upon Him) got to that land there were already people there called Palestinians.
Wow you don't know your history, the term Palestinian comes from the Romans. Look it up, there are no P's in Arabic. And the biblical philistines were descended from Greek voyagers. They have disappeared, their bones are found though in Gaza, dna testing has been done on them, not the same as the current Palestinians, which are Egyptian, Jordanian, Syrian.
Long live Israel and Long live the Jewish people!
Freee palestine 🇵🇸 and demokratic congo🇨🇩
NO! Not till Israel gets out of PALESTINE!..Thats Obvious to Everyone!
This war has to stop wirhout any condition. Israel is doing what russia is doing in ukraine.
