"Total depopulation" ? A little soft, Simon, for what is actually TOTAL GENOCIDE that appears to be climbing to Nazi proportions. We have no idea, and may never know, of the true scale of death through disease, starvation and thirst, elderly dying years before their time, people dying of "natural causes" because they lost access to cheap but vital medication .... and so on .... Dialysis anyone ?

@@JuniorSmith-zw7pd Meatwave tactics, while devastating for future Russian demographics, do work. Europe really isn't interested in becoming another meat grinder.
@@eodyn7 They've got a lot of manpower, old Soviet stock and some production capability. That alone makes the a pretty serious threat, at least on a regional level
23:00 no one in the USA talking about Europe needing to do more is talking about Poland and the baltics. The wealthy western European nations allowing their poorer eastern neighbors to bear their burdens is shameful.
I mean those are the ones who are the most vulnerable to the Russian threat, and they also have the most motive to stop it. It's not like back in the Soviet Era, where the Western European countries are direct neighbors with their adversaries, now they have those in Eastern Europe as a buffer region, in which they only offer superficial shields (i.e. ground trap), and the Western European countries still hold the hard deterrent (i.e. Nuclear armaments and aerial fleet, economic power, etc.)
While I generally agree with this statement, there's a bit more nuance to this. France has a fairly capable and well-equipped military and is honestly punching way above its weight for their budget. It's quite astonishing what they fit into their somewhat low military budget. I'd love to see that kind of procurement efficiency in Germany. Unlike Germany, they also haven't slept through the last 30 years and don't really need a "Zeitenwende". France could and should provide more military aid but the French military is in a pretty decent spot. Germany, well... Germany is in the middle of doing a society-wide soul search. The German public would much rather dream of world peace and pretend that military conflicts are really just the result of miscommunications among nations. Many Germans are super uncomfortable with a Bundeswehr that's geared up for war and that's nothing new either. The Bundeswehr is in such a sorry state because it was a popular position to be unthreatening as a nation. This is why our cruisers are called frigates (they're too heavy for that but it would've been a PR massacre to call them cruisers lol). Things are slowly getting better but it's more about psychology than money.
@@prophetsspaceengineering2913for all the crap the French get as an American I have to give them credit for keeping their military both functional and independent. More countries need to be willing to take care of their own personal defense needs.
If the past several years have shown me anything, its that half meassures dont work, they simply serve to contain the preassure, allowing it to grow stronger before spilling over, and lead to even worse results
@koryhelm8515 whose strife and which decades? Everyone in that region is both oppressed and oppressor depending on what point in history you look at. It's not a good metric to base your support on.
Mike Waltz is absolutely onto something here the tactic of appeasement hasn't and will never work on leaders like Hitler and Putin not saying that they do the same horrible things, but rather that they have an extremely strong personality and have (nearly) absolute power in their countries
Russia is in a much worse situation now than pre 2022, and way way worse than pre 2014. It's further away from it's wargoals than in march 2022. The only question being is how badly do they loose. All this "appeasement" talk, the UK lost it's status as the wolds superpower by trying to contain German power, & now the real question is whether the US says the worlds sole Superpower or whether it will be a multipolar order with US, Europe and Chin?. Even if we force a regime change in Russia, what do we win? Russia now is like a bigger North Corea, annoying but not a real thread, might even be a partner against China.
Have you seen what’s happened to the Muslim population in Russia? They ABSOLUTELY are doing the same horrible things, but it’s to Muslims this time, so the west doesn’t give a damn about it as long as we had that cheap oil And before I get dumb ass comments, yes I know “ChInA iS dOiNg It ToO” 🤡😂
Exactly. Western countries are seemingly addicted to the idea that you can negotiate with a leader who does NOT answer to their people. They can do pretty much anything with little impediment unless conditions become unbearably bad.
@@badluck5647 Name a single thing she said that was Russain propaganda? Everything she said turned out to be true. It is true that Nato provoked Russia to war. It is true that Russias invasion is bad and we need to support Ukraine to fight back.
People forget to what extreme measures the allies had to go to stop facism in ww2 . It is easy to criticise a nation while sitting in safety and not witnessing the horrors Iran and lackeys comitte in the name of their ideology.
Exactly. It’s kind of interesting how to this day we never questioned to Allies attacks on Germany. Nobody ever called for a ceasefire with the Nazis or a freeze of the conflict? No, it was decided the war must be fought to completion. And above all - to victory!
@@cliomuse1206I think you need a better understanding of WWII. The allied "strategic bombing" was terrorism and not effective at influencing German opinion on the war
It was to stop German Nazism and Japanese imperialism and that was only after they declared war on the United States. The collective European response to these threats was pathetic weak and mired in arrogance and ignorance, much like the current Non-American and Non Eastern European NATO "Allies." The only fascist power in World War two was Italy and they were by far the least genocidal and least militarily effective power in the Axis alliance. Also, it involved not only ignoring, but allying with the most genocidal and militarily effective power on the continent, i.e. the Soviet Union. The left wing European powers in the west even tipped their hands when they refused to declare war on the Soviet Union after they invaded Poland despite that being the exact same reason they declared war on Germany. George Patton said it best at the end of the war, "We defeated the wrong enemy." With that being said, you comparison is apt in two ways. Europe absolutely refusing to take its land army's and air forces seriously until it was far to late and the entire continent doing everything they possibly can to drag America kicking and screaming into solving their problems for them. Not this time. We will not throw away another generation of young men's blood and American treasure to save a continent of freeloading cowards from the consequences of their own arrogance, ignorance and cowardice. Enjoy the consequences of failing to take your militaries seriously and your addiction to Russian energy.

"the deliberate and systematic killing or persecution of a large number of people from a particular national or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group" This is the literal definition of genocide from websters. Nowhere in it does it say, "unless a part or a group within that ethnic group attack someone else first" Meaning, it doesnt matter if some of hamas attacked israel first, it doesnt change what they are doing. You cant just wipe every living being from an area, man, woman and child because a few attacked.
Being ordered to not only pursue but lead your army through a war you personally would like to cease is definitely a tough position to be in. I had no idea that was the case with the defence minister.
It’s not just the Defense Minister. Much of the IDF and a huge majority of Israelis (like me) want an end to the war. Netanyahu will not allow it. He believes that continuing the war is the only thing holding off his various criminal cases, a devastating investigation into the failures of 7.10, and his inevitable loss in elections that can’t be held until the war ends. He would rather drag us all to hell to keep this war going in order to stay in power.
Makes sense that Orban wants resources and is weirdly in line the Russian government who are already heavily active in the region. Idk if we have a detailed answer of what they’re up to but it somehow comes down to resources and regional influence
Costa Rican here, first thank you for such a well informed piece of reporting on what's going on here. Second, it's sad to see the failed world war on drugs affecting my country. Not being capable of providing a real solution, our best option is to just make our country more expensive for drug trade than other countries in the region. But until the world steps back, admits defeat, and completely rethinks the overall strategy to remove financial power from the cartels, there's not much one single nation, whichever it is, can do to truly remove this bane from the world. Third, I've been seeing my country's rise in inequality, with more poor who lack opportunities, and this is a key aspect any country should be weary about, a safe country is one where the poor live well enough and have opportunities for advancing their economic lives. It's ok for the wealthy to get wealthier, but it's not ok for the poorer to get poorer. It's one of the reasons why chavismo took hold in Venezuela and why gang violence was so extreme in El Salvador, and yes, why Costa Rica is experiencing a rise in crime.
i mean what does anyone expect? If you support the originization that attacked the Isarel state then yea, that would probably get you deported. Especially if its an active warzone. To those unwilling to leave, what did you think was going to happen? To those who couldn't leave, yea that has my sympathy.

I've said this before, but a majority of people don't understand anything about the Ukraine war. Anything less than a total takeover of Ukraine by Russia would be seen as a complete failure by Moscow. They want a buffer zone between many EU countries and Moscow. While this is happening, China is able to use our response to the Ukraine war as a basis as to how we will respond to their upcoming invasion of Taiwan in 2025 or 2027. Taiwan is the largest producer of Semiconductors in the world with around 95%. If China is able to take control of Taiwan, they will have almost complete control over that market and will easily be able to manipulate it.
The "buffer zone" argument is total baloney. But you're not wrong about the rest. Expanding your borders doesn't give you a buffer. It brings you closer. And Moscow isn't silly enough to think NATO is actually going to attack them. They want the land. They want the water. They want the power. Don't fall for their lies.
The problem with Taiwan is that no European nation officially recognizes it. That, together with the fact that Europe has a massive trade import from China, means that any action the EU takes will be much less severe than the ones taken against Russia.
Funny how the logic really doesn't work though.. If they annexed Ukraine then NATO would be on their border lol. Their entire logic about the situation is nonsense
The US has guaranteed the independence of Taiwan the second a Chinese projectile strikes anything Taiwanese we are obligated to devote any military support we can offer as long as there's still even a small chance to defend Taiwan. Ukraine is an entirely different situation. Edit: I was mistaken about the independence guarantee but "The TRA requires the United States to have a policy "to provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character" and "to maintain the capacity of the United States to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic system, of the people on Taiwan"
Yeah i dont see the outrage about the law as much. If you actively support your family member in Islamic Jihad that is actively supporting a terrorist group... The same group you are actively fighting a war with. If someone was actively supporting the nazi's in 1943 i dont think this would be crazy to say remove them from your country fighting a war with the nazi's... For a less nazi adjacent angle i dont think anyone would have a problem with Ukraine doing this for russians actively supporting and assisting russians...
I will tell you a secret. Unlikely that the law will ever be used, and if it will, it can apply to few people only, to the most odious figures. It's very rare occations that holders of Israeli citizenship publicly support Hams. It's just a populist law to grab some public support, not intended to be enacted.
The law is too ambiguous. It allows for completely innocent family members to be prosecuted just for being related to an attacker. It's part of a bigger plan to ethnically cleanse the people of Palestine from THEIR land. It's simply another act of genocide. It's what Israel has been doing since 1948, they are literally the inheritors of the Nazi regime. How dare you compare the innocent people of Palestine to Nazi's? If anything the Israeli government has shown time and time again that they are the ones that deserve to be called Nazi's! The Israeli government and the IDF have been committing genocide in the name of their supremacist Zionist ideology since 1948, they've killed over a 100,000 Palestinians and have displaced and MILLIONS!
The difference in how you word the Israel war and the war in Ukraine with very mirrored situations with the land aspect is fascinating. Israel is a demon for creating the buffer zone but it is just the reality that Russia will get theirs without any doom speak comparatively. Especially when Russia was the aggressor vs israel who was responding to decades of constant and unyielding aggression from the exact areas they are clearing...
@@adamredwine774 Israel is the underdog, a few million people vs hundreds of millions of Muslims / Arabs It's sad that most people don't realize that Israel is the underdog here fighting constantly for their existence.
“Responding to decades of constant and unyielding aggression” is insane lmao. If you occupy land and make its people second class citizens, take away their rights and ability to live, you’re going to face aggression.
Why do people always care more about bad guys than the victims ? This goes from criminals to terrorists. Hamas still havent serrendered or given the hostages the population overwhelmingly support hamas and terrorism. They choose their fate
they are still hoping for a regional war brother. That's what oct 7 was all about, stop looking at it like a 'normal' war, they know they can't win, they wish for Iran and the rest of the arab league to win it for them. And if they surrender, from their perspective, they will probably never be able to launch any meaningful attack against Israel again. Israel, the US, Saudi etc will not allow Hamas to strengthen themselves again, the border with egypt will be SEALED, a buffer zone between Gaza and South Lebanon to prevent any linkup with Hezbollah will be established. This is so fucking sad man, so many just dead on both sides, kids killed & kidnapped, women raped, generations of families dead or starved. Hamas fucked up BADLY and Israel has totally abandoned any form responsibility to be the 'bigger person', not this time, not anymore.
because its so blatantly obvious who the bad guys are. people aren't as dumb as your propaganda is strong- read that one a few times and let it sink in
Maybe Hamas should give up? How come nobody ever talks about that? They are clearly not going to get the help they need from Iran etc. For the sake of the people just give up.
Hamas sees the suffering of the people as a good thing. They actively work to maximize the suffering of Gazans because they know that it gets the useful idiots on college campuses in America to advocate for Hamas.
@@EyeOfKings bullcrap. Israel has repeatedly asked Hamas to surrender and free the hostages but Hamas delusional Islamist reply is that Israel must surrender and hand over control of palestine to them.
Oh, so "Israel invades Lebanon with impunity"?! There wasn't a single day since the 7th of October 2023, including today, Hezbollah did not bombard Israel from Lebanon. Edit: Coming to think about it, Hamas even tried to fire a couple of missiles from northern Gaza just two days ago. Both were intercepted. In any case, the residents of Gaza support Hamas. Over 80% of whom voted Hamas in. So if holding over a 100 abductees does not amount to a war crime in your eyes, neither should be evacuating the population to the southern part of the strip. Well, after all, you claim Gaza is an "open air prison"? Good. So from now on, it's a prison. It's our prison🙂.

The characterization of the situation in northern Gaza is wrong in various ways: * Only the very northern part of north Gaza (Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun, Jabalia) are being fully evacuated. This effects tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands of Gazans. * The purpose is to separate civilians from combatants, in order to kill or capture combatants in northern Gaza with minimal harm to civilians. * This military pressure has two goals: 1) by continuing to degrade Hamas and shrink its area of rule, it is hoped that this will incentivize Hamas to make a hostage deal and 2), if this is a form of the Generals' Plan, the objective is to totally clear an area of Hamas control, and install a new governing power (ideally not Israeli) for Gazans who will return there after it's cleared of Hamas rule.
You said its "wrong in several ways" and all I'm seeing is your personal beliefs about what the facts mean. What you mean to say is "I don't want to believe Israel would actually intend to do xyz terrible thing."
Israel is the terrorist organization of the region, the IDF is literally formed from 3 Israeli terror militias and they’ve committed acts of terrorism against Britain, American military and have murdered multiple American citizens in cold blood. By all definition and logic Israel is the original terror group in the region and the root of terrorism. They created Hamas and Hezbollah with their endless invasions and violent ambitions of illegal expansion into neighboring lands.
Honestly I just feel bad for the Lebanese. Either they crack down on the terrorists and get used as the whipping boy by all the Shiite zealots in their borders, or they ignore them and become the whipping boy for the Israelis. Either way, their statehood is likely to not survive the next decade after this flashpoint. At least, not independently though a vassal status might be a possibility with Iran which is why they hedged their bets that way
It was the "Palastinians" that broke the idea of coexistence and without a pure unambiguous declaration of recognition the only option left is to restore the british mandate in which the Arabs got 72% of the territory ie: Jordan and the Jewish population got 28% ie: eretz Israel. It isbonly due to Jordanian self determination and arabs living within the Jewish mandate rejecting that which they have no right over that the UNGA article 181 pushed for a sub division of already small land of which the Negev is uninhabitable. That splot was 60/40 but it did nothing. Jordan then anexxed Judea and Sumaria yet we didnt hear any complaints until 67. They were offered citizenship but rejected it due to pan islamist ideology that had festered since pre turn of the 1900s. Palastine is nothing and never was to any colonial power that has taken it, it is just a place to project power through fundamentalism. Nothing short of an international administrative government for the next 30+ years will be sufficient for any talks on a "Palastine state" it will take two generations to de radicalise them and it will need powerful governments to help shepard a real palastinian government through what will be a weak period.
In his attempt to describe so called "generals plan" he lie in his first statement 🤦♂️. Generals plan doesn't say stop aid to nothern Gaza to force civilians out, it says move all civilians out and then stop any aid go to nothern Gaza because if civilians are out the only remaining individuals there are Hamas.

If you don't want war - A) why did you start it? And B) - if you want peace - ask for peace, ABSOLUTELY NO to any "ceasefire"

4:37 this is centered around Jabalia, which is very much a stronghold for Hamas. It's one of the last few neighborhoods where IDF has yet to enter. They are basically evacuating civilians from that area and are working to get a surrender from Hamas in this area. The videos of civilians leaving the are and speaking out in condemnation of Hamas are undergoing this process. Unless and until someone else has a better solution to offer, I'd say it's pretty obvious Israel is entirely capable of successfully managing themselves in this war. Regardless of all the international media condemnations of any and everything Israel does, military experts who have been on the ground observing this conflict have evidenced a much different reality than the media would suggest. I'm sure it's a very harsh environment in Gaza, but when you start a war, you'll face a war. They obviously haven't surrendered, so forgive me if I am not moved by all the international pressure on Israel to stop, I'll wait til the other side decides to surrender and return the hostages.
Only far left liberals support Palestinians. The irony is they don't acknowledged that hamas is very similar to nazis. far far right conservatives, fascists, dictators, racist, sexist, the only reason anyone in the west supports Palestinians is because they are in essence a nazi.
@blackkn1ght Hams harmed innocent people and trapped their own people to face airstrikes. The high toll means their objective is complete. Does that mean they're winning?
You're saying that forcing Ukraine to a ceasefire would guarantee a repeat of the war within a short period - but seem to ignore that the same holds for Israel. Both have to keep fighting until their enemies capitulate and agree to abide by international agreements.
This is why Israel are setting up stations to prevent this happening again. Unless Hamas are disabled no civilian will be safe. They've squandered every opportunity on terror and doomed their people
The big difference is that Ukraine, even with carte blanche on weapons and funding, lack the manpower to actually force Russia out to the 1991 borders. It would require Western soldiers on the ground to achieve that. It is an unrealistic goal and anyone who understands the circumstances knew that two years ago. Some territory loss (it won't be as big as the current front) in exchange for sovereignty and a peacekeeping force/DMZ like the Koreas is the most likely and realistic bet.
Contrast that with Israel which is the actual military powerhouse to its neighbors and can actually achieve its stated goals without overwhelming help from foreign countries.
I've went American news silent since the election. I can not turn away from Simon's and his writers verifiable information. Thank you for shining a light on the world.
something freedom fighter, something something civilian are legitimate targets if they are Israeli something somehting they had it coming - anti zionists
Not really, Hamas is a terrorist organization. That's spread amongst many countries. They don;t care about their people. They only care about their own terrorist goals. Gazians are not all Hamas. Far from it actually. A lot of them also opposed Hamas. But, unfortunately since they live in Gaza now they get exterminated. It's like Ireland had the IRA terrorist group. Doing terrorist attacks on the UK. And then the UK coming in and genociding all of Ireland. Killing every man woman and child in Ireland regardless of whether they supported the IRA or opposed them.
Because Israel has made it clear it's main war objective is to destroy Hamas. There's no point in calling for them to surrender. Use your brain next time, if you even have one. Imbecile.
Stupid comment, as if these channels have any sort of linj to hamas. Also, by your logic this war could also end if Israel gives up as well. It's a dumb comment.

I just want to say THANK YOU for getting Israel vs Hamas and hazbalh right instead of feeding the misinformation of it being a war against Gaza and Lebanon as a whole
also the accusation of Israel committing war crimes is just that an accusation. There are no non combatants left in northern Gaza. and for the record.... the west bank and Gaza ARE Israeli territories under international rules of war. the 6 day war made that extremely clear. Israel won the west bank from Jordan Golham heights from Syria a couple km from Lebanon and the Sinai peninsula and the Gaza strip from Egypt.
@@killionalexander30 then why keep building illegal setlements in the west bank? Even when the fighting happened in gaza and lebanon, israel did not stop and increases its settlement in the west bank. The truth is even if hamas and hezbolah surrender, israel will continue to demolish palestinians. Yeah hamas and hezbolah did warcrimes, but israel did crimes against humanities as well
@@killionalexander30even if you said that they won those territories. The population is under the jurisdiction of israel now and should become its citizens. But the israel kneset always rejected the bill to expand citizenship to include annexed palestinians in gaza and the west bank. The government have deliberately stated that they want to expel them from the land (which is a warcrime to expel and isolate population within occupied and annexed territories.)
@ignatiusiswaradatta6052 Under international law Gaza and the west bank are not occupied or annexed. And as for a path of citizenship in Israel there is many Palestinians with Israeli citizenship. 🤷 May be look into the reasons behind the why Israel doesn't want every single Palestinian given citizenship. Oct 7th 2023 is a GREAT reason. Or how about EVERY SINGLE WAR OR REVOLT started by Palestinians. Why do you think Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt,Syria, Iraq or Kuwait doesn't want them?
@ignatiusiswaradatta6052 Also. Any plans to bring Palestinians into Israel citizenship has to be approved by the 3 governments involved. The Israeli the pla and whatever government takes over for Hamas. Hamas was the BIGGEST road block to the people of Gaza becoming part of the 21st century.
Man... what would the Gaza Strip look like if the Gazan Arabs did LITERALLY ANYTHING other than what they did. 🤔 ... Anyways, did Hamas Surrender Yet? No Well thats stupid. ... good job with that 1 lmao.
Very interesting that you say it's a war crime to hit a school when Russia does it but when Israel target's schools, unarmed civilians intense, and civilian buildings, you don't mention any of it as a war crime
Call me crazy but I think an entire year should be plenty of time to walk from Northern Gaza to the humanitarian zone, in fact it wouldn't take more than 5 hours by foot for a healthy person Anyone who decided to stay in that warzone after literally thousands of warnings over the last year has accepted their fate
How the hell is critical reporting of a conflict between a terror organization, which has killed several thousand innocent civilians over the years and a country which actively breaks international law and has killed tens of thousands of more or less innocent civilians, while also illegally settling on foreign soil and actively discriminating against part of its own population bordering on antisemitic propaganda? Or is anything said against Israel antisemitism in your mind? Then that makes you seem to be unable to differentiate between religion, ethnicity and politics.

21:07 "it also has slow-walked weapon deliveries" That's by design to protect the aid for Ukraine over a long time. If Trump does what he says and stops all aid, the $60 billion aid package will still be delivered. Only that it will go far into Trump's first year, because congress would have to pass another law to end that particular aid. And $6 billion a month in aid is not that little.
Who needs Generals and Admirals when you can fill your cabinet with Army Majors, Lieutenant Colonel, and full bird Colonels? As of today, those are the ranks of the nominated Secretary of Defense, National Security Advisor, and Director of National Intelligence.
I'd argue they are less political than the positions of general and admiral and thus have a different engagement with those cabinet seats. One of the things that lengthened the GWoT was generals wanting to turn the war more conventional in order to get combat ops under their resumes for promotions instead of dominately fighting COIN with spec ops.
We went to Costa Rica in early 2023 (as Western Europeans), it was an absolutely amazing country. Like nothing we have ever experienced before. In the main city it felt very unsafe, every single house is a mini compound with locked metal gates and high walls. In the countryside it felt a lot safer, but I could tell there was an addiction problem brewing, particularly with alcohol. Wages are low there and I don’t know if it’s because we were foreign or not, but groceries were what I would consider expensive. Recipe for disaster
You are European ( I am an EU citizen) , unfortunately you live in a bubble ( which is getting smaller and smaller) and have lived your whole life .. 90% of the world lives like Costa Rica .. what you think is normal … it’s not .. I live in South Africa ( just returned from Europe) I feel sorry for you I truly do … you have no idea how to survive in the real world … The way I see it …in Costa Rica or South Africa I can grow my own food all year around .. we adapt … Europeans cannot … you seem to think your Government can solve you insane cost of living … it can’t … wait until you stop getting food … it’s coming !
@@Verita1975when shit does actually hit the fan people in countries like South Africa and Costs Rica will be knocking at the gates of the developed world.. not the other way around.
Food is expensive if you have to import it. Europe largely produces it's own food within the union so transport costs are low. Costa Rica is technically not an island but for economic purposes it essentially is. They have to import large amounts of goods, by sea. That's expensive and the cost of food reflects that.
@Verita1975 That’s not true at all, I grew up on a croft on a Scottish island. We grew probably 40% or so of our food, but obviously weather is not great there and the harvesting season is not all year round either. The only fruit we could grow were applies and plums, anything else was bought because it couldn’t grow. Winters there were harsh and the wind made it so much worse. No surprise we also had addiction problems there to help alleviate the loneliness and cold (mostly alcohol). Now living in Northern Germany with my German wife, but we still grow a lot and of course I will always repair or rebuild rather than buy new - that’ll never change. Costa Rica has a lower income per person and an extremely expensive cost of living, I’m not sheltered, that’s the truth. I think I saw two proper farms in the time I was driving 4,000kms. Lots and lots and lots of trucks bringing in exported goods though.
A couple of points - the situation in Gaza is that Hammas spent nearly 20 years planning a multi-layer war in which civilian shields and causing suffering for civilians are key elements. Israel has two choices, ignore civilian casualties, as the Allies did in world war 2, or evacuate the civilians so as to be able to eliminate the terrorists. The war will not end until Hammas is gone - and so evacuating the civilians is the lesser of two evilts. Israel Katz' main qualification for the job is that he will do whatever Netanyahu tells him, he has no relevant military experience, he has been a disaster as a foreign minister, and he is part of the Likud cesspool, where they compete to make stupid statements. A recent poll in Israel shows the overwhelming majority want the war to end and a deal done to bring the hostages home. Then we can have a committee of investigation into the collapse of Netanyahu's concept and hopefully get id of the worst government in our history.
And gallants main qualification here was that up until Netanyahu pushed him aside at the start of the Lebanon campaign, he was a yes man for the Biden administration.
explain to me what good things gaza provides to the global economy? if the answer is nothing, then freedom of that region isn't earned it's given. people who are given stuff instead of earning it, their luck is very limited because most people are not generous.
Story 1: "There are no civilians left in North Gaza." Man, what a chilling statement... Story 2: I definitely dislike President-elect Trump, and most of his other cabinet pics and stated policies, but I have to say that I agree with a lot of what his national security advisor said. I guess we'll find out! Story 3: Crap… Good luck, Costa Rica! I'm rooting for you! A lot of our sexiest yoga instructors have moved there over the past decade, so I hope you guys figure your shit out! Story 4: It must suck - like really suck - to have so many resources, but yet still be so poor and reliant on larger powers - who then use your resources to fuel their own economies. Damn…
About the first quote, that's the nature of war. Israel has controlled northern Gaza for nearly a year and whenever troops pull out of a region in northern Gaza, Hamas just sneaks back in.
I have not yet seen a single humanitarian aid that a Palestinian cares about on the seventh of October or an attempt to divide between civilians and combatants. The standard that Israel should have is so high. The ambition of a Maduroni army is to create a situation where an army can reach a situation where it fights against an army. There is international strife on the part of Hamas, they are trying to maintain a different thing that civilians were on the battlefield and by the way this is not the first time we have seen an attempt to separate between The fighting army for the citizens The battle in Mosul is a great example of how the peacekeeping force against ISIS evacuated the entire population to a humanitarian place and left ISIS in Mosul and fighting there
@jeramysamarawickrama7633 I'd imagine he's talking about US authorization for Ukraine to use the long range stuff we've given them to strike inside Russia.
The way you describe the general's plans which ironically was thought of by people who are somewhat opposed to Netanyahu and that are considered moderate is quite brutal. The idea isn't to starve out 400,000 people, the IDF is currently evacuating all civilians from the Northen portion of Northen Gaza. Many of those "civilians" are Hamas members or Hamas family members that refuse to evacuate, and they're only being evacuated 3-4 KM southwards. Israel is implanting the plan in a small portion of Gaza than envisioned, and will likely not declare Northen Gaza as closed military area as long as there are many civilians there. Israel did the same in Rafah and Khan Yunis. After the civilians leave, and there is nobody in the area but Hamas, Israel would be able to stop bringing in aid that Hamas steals and makes money off. That's what Israel basically did anywhere in Gaza, in small sections each time. The only major difference is that Hamas stopped the civilians of Northen Gaza from leaving by force so that Israel would have no choice but to bring in aid. Also, Israel doesn't intend to annex Northen Gaza, in the original general's plan, the idea is to negotiate with Hamas to allow the residents of north Gaza to return if they return the hostages, and they'll return through security checkpoints in the Netzarim corridor.
North Gaza is a tiny northern fringe of Gaza. it doesn't even include Gaza city. Some clarification, and more importantly verification, of which area is actually being evacuated (allegedly...) would be nice. I'm not going through the provided links looking for a needle in a haystack. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Gaza_Governorate
the quality of this analysis, and particularly the US political stuff is something rarely seen, especially from a European source like this (regarding US politics). Very polished and nuanced.
You are being disingenuous if you dont recognize that hamas fighter are literally stealing aid from its citizens and those that disagree are either maimed or killed and then are counted as another death count courtesy of the IDF. These channels trying to make hamas look better than what they actually are is really getting disgusting
Very disappointing coverage of Northern Gaza. Civilians have been undergoing evacuations for weeks. Hamas is embedded there and refuses to surrender. What do you want Israel to do?
Saying an enemy leader is “savvy” or a “genius” doesn’t make that person some lackey automatically. There have been and currently are several horrible dictator and the like figures in charge of countries who are also intelligent folks. Intelligence and cruelty are unrelated to each other. Calling an enemy or “bad guy” smart doesn’t mean you like them.
The war in Gaza and all the casualties are due to Hamas. Israel has no blame for any of the atrocities. If Hamas would surrender and release the hostages, the war would be over. You people that blame Isreal for the war are just sick and need to reevaluate yourself. However, that said. The USA need to stop financing the war against Hamas and also the war against Russia in Ukrainian. We have enough problems at home. The help that wasted money could do for our vets, and infrastructure is way more important.
Its weird how you talk about israels actions with a tone of voice that implies they are obviously wrong. Deportation of terror families is NOT controversial.
@@cultleader3572 ... how? Even outside the complicated moral questions here, Hamas have almost nothing left outside hatred for jews and child soldiers. Their leadership is dead or missing and their supplies are more limited then ever while Isreal is no longer holding back

People act like Trump being elected is the end times, like they forgot that for all his faults, he's already been president for 4 years and was in fact one of the first ones that didn't start a new conflict in recent memory.
You need to educate yourself on Trump’s use of the military. He’s the one that negotiated with the Taliban. He’s a Putin puppet and admirer of all things authoritarian. Your fantasy version of Trump doesn’t exist.
Gallant was focusing on not losing, not focused on winning. That is not a successful strategy. Never mind that Israel is overwhelmingly winning, he is a borderline defeatist. Also, he had taken it upon himself to conduct foreign policy, which is not his portfolio. He had defied Netanyahu multiple times and needed to go.

Canada bringing up the rear
I mean those are the ones who are the most vulnerable to the Russian threat, and they also have the most motive to stop it. It's not like back in the Soviet Era, where the Western European countries are direct neighbors with their adversaries, now they have those in Eastern Europe as a buffer region, in which they only offer superficial shields (i.e. ground trap), and the Western European countries still hold the hard deterrent (i.e. Nuclear armaments and aerial fleet, economic power, etc.)
Western Europeans would rather brag about their social programs.
While I generally agree with this statement, there's a bit more nuance to this. France has a fairly capable and well-equipped military and is honestly punching way above its weight for their budget. It's quite astonishing what they fit into their somewhat low military budget. I'd love to see that kind of procurement efficiency in Germany. Unlike Germany, they also haven't slept through the last 30 years and don't really need a "Zeitenwende". France could and should provide more military aid but the French military is in a pretty decent spot.
Germany, well... Germany is in the middle of doing a society-wide soul search. The German public would much rather dream of world peace and pretend that military conflicts are really just the result of miscommunications among nations. Many Germans are super uncomfortable with a Bundeswehr that's geared up for war and that's nothing new either. The Bundeswehr is in such a sorry state because it was a popular position to be unthreatening as a nation. This is why our cruisers are called frigates (they're too heavy for that but it would've been a PR massacre to call them cruisers lol). Things are slowly getting better but it's more about psychology than money.

It was to stop German Nazism and Japanese imperialism and that was only after they declared war on the United States.

Also, it involved not only ignoring, but allying with the most genocidal and militarily effective power on the continent, i.e. the Soviet Union.

This happened to me too, so I just put it on my watch later list lol
"the deliberate and systematic killing or persecution of a large number of people from a particular national or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group" This is the literal definition of genocide from websters. Nowhere in it does it say, "unless a part or a group within that ethnic group attack someone else first" Meaning, it doesnt matter if some of hamas attacked israel first, it doesnt change what they are doing. You cant just wipe every living being from an area, man, woman and child because a few attacked.
Have to say watching this and then reading the comments is an amazing demonstration of contrasts.
The internet is becoming more and more flooded with bots. Something to keep in mind. Longstanding social media outlets are the worst.
Being ordered to not only pursue but lead your army through a war you personally would like to cease is definitely a tough position to be in. I had no idea that was the case with the defence minister.
It’s not just the Defense Minister. Much of the IDF and a huge majority of Israelis (like me) want an end to the war. Netanyahu will not allow it. He believes that continuing the war is the only thing holding off his various criminal cases, a devastating investigation into the failures of 7.10, and his inevitable loss in elections that can’t be held until the war ends. He would rather drag us all to hell to keep this war going in order to stay in power.
AS a Sahelian and as a Chadian I laugh from just the perspective of being assisted by poor country like Hungary. I doesn't make any sense.

Costa Rican here, first thank you for such a well informed piece of reporting on what's going on here.
Second, it's sad to see the failed world war on drugs affecting my country. Not being capable of providing a real solution, our best option is to just make our country more expensive for drug trade than other countries in the region. But until the world steps back, admits defeat, and completely rethinks the overall strategy to remove financial power from the cartels, there's not much one single nation, whichever it is, can do to truly remove this bane from the world.
Third, I've been seeing my country's rise in inequality, with more poor who lack opportunities, and this is a key aspect any country should be weary about, a safe country is one where the poor live well enough and have opportunities for advancing their economic lives. It's ok for the wealthy to get wealthier, but it's not ok for the poorer to get poorer. It's one of the reasons why chavismo took hold in Venezuela and why gang violence was so extreme in El Salvador, and yes, why Costa Rica is experiencing a rise in crime.
i mean what does anyone expect? If you support the originization that attacked the Isarel state then yea, that would probably get you deported. Especially if its an active warzone. To those unwilling to leave, what did you think was going to happen? To those who couldn't leave, yea that has my sympathy.

I've said this before, but a majority of people don't understand anything about the Ukraine war. Anything less than a total takeover of Ukraine by Russia would be seen as a complete failure by Moscow. They want a buffer zone between many EU countries and Moscow.
While this is happening, China is able to use our response to the Ukraine war as a basis as to how we will respond to their upcoming invasion of Taiwan in 2025 or 2027. Taiwan is the largest producer of Semiconductors in the world with around 95%. If China is able to take control of Taiwan, they will have almost complete control over that market and will easily be able to manipulate it.
The "buffer zone" argument is total baloney. But you're not wrong about the rest.
Expanding your borders doesn't give you a buffer. It brings you closer. And Moscow isn't silly enough to think NATO is actually going to attack them.
They want the land. They want the water. They want the power. Don't fall for their lies.
The problem with Taiwan is that no European nation officially recognizes it. That, together with the fact that Europe has a massive trade import from China, means that any action the EU takes will be much less severe than the ones taken against Russia.
Funny how the logic really doesn't work though.. If they annexed Ukraine then NATO would be on their border lol. Their entire logic about the situation is nonsense
The US has guaranteed the independence of Taiwan the second a Chinese projectile strikes anything Taiwanese we are obligated to devote any military support we can offer as long as there's still even a small chance to defend Taiwan. Ukraine is an entirely different situation.
Edit: I was mistaken about the independence guarantee but "The TRA requires the United States to have a policy "to provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character" and "to maintain the capacity of the United States to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic system, of the people on Taiwan"

Maybe English is not your 1st language, but this makes little sense.
The law is too ambiguous. It allows for completely innocent family members to be prosecuted just for being related to an attacker. It's part of a bigger plan to ethnically cleanse the people of Palestine from THEIR land. It's simply another act of genocide. It's what Israel has been doing since 1948, they are literally the inheritors of the Nazi regime.
How dare you compare the innocent people of Palestine to Nazi's? If anything the Israeli government has shown time and time again that they are the ones that deserve to be called Nazi's! The Israeli government and the IDF have been committing genocide in the name of their supremacist Zionist ideology since 1948, they've killed over a 100,000 Palestinians and have displaced and MILLIONS!

And if they surrender, from their perspective, they will probably never be able to launch any meaningful attack against Israel again. Israel, the US, Saudi etc will not allow Hamas to strengthen themselves again, the border with egypt will be SEALED, a buffer zone between Gaza and South Lebanon to prevent any linkup with Hezbollah will be established.
This is so fucking sad man, so many just dead on both sides, kids killed & kidnapped, women raped, generations of families dead or starved. Hamas fucked up BADLY and Israel has totally abandoned any form responsibility to be the 'bigger person', not this time, not anymore.

I think they already tried and Israel said no to them
Hamas sees the suffering of the people as a good thing. They actively work to maximize the suffering of Gazans because they know that it gets the useful idiots on college campuses in America to advocate for Hamas.

Oh, so "Israel invades Lebanon with impunity"?! There wasn't a single day since the 7th of October 2023, including today, Hezbollah did not bombard Israel from Lebanon. Edit: Coming to think about it, Hamas even tried to fire a couple of missiles from northern Gaza just two days ago. Both were intercepted. In any case, the residents of Gaza support Hamas. Over 80% of whom voted Hamas in. So if holding over a 100 abductees does not amount to a war crime in your eyes, neither should be evacuating the population to the southern part of the strip. Well, after all, you claim Gaza is an "open air prison"? Good. So from now on, it's a prison. It's our prison🙂.

The characterization of the situation in northern Gaza is wrong in various ways:
* Only the very northern part of north Gaza (Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun, Jabalia) are being fully evacuated. This effects tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands of Gazans.
* The purpose is to separate civilians from combatants, in order to kill or capture combatants in northern Gaza with minimal harm to civilians.
* This military pressure has two goals: 1) by continuing to degrade Hamas and shrink its area of rule, it is hoped that this will incentivize Hamas to make a hostage deal and 2), if this is a form of the Generals' Plan, the objective is to totally clear an area of Hamas control, and install a new governing power (ideally not Israeli) for Gazans who will return there after it's cleared of Hamas rule.
You said its "wrong in several ways" and all I'm seeing is your personal beliefs about what the facts mean. What you mean to say is "I don't want to believe Israel would actually intend to do xyz terrible thing."
Why not? Lebanon doesn't mind having dialogue with a terrorist organisation that constantly shoots missiles from their territory onto other countries.
And so does Israel, FO, Israel is commiting ethnic cleansing but that's ok right?
Israel has become a terrorist organization like Hamas and hezbola
Israel is the terrorist organization of the region, the IDF is literally formed from 3 Israeli terror militias and they’ve committed acts of terrorism against Britain, American military and have murdered multiple American citizens in cold blood. By all definition and logic Israel is the original terror group in the region and the root of terrorism. They created Hamas and Hezbollah with their endless invasions and violent ambitions of illegal expansion into neighboring lands.
Honestly I just feel bad for the Lebanese. Either they crack down on the terrorists and get used as the whipping boy by all the Shiite zealots in their borders, or they ignore them and become the whipping boy for the Israelis. Either way, their statehood is likely to not survive the next decade after this flashpoint. At least, not independently though a vassal status might be a possibility with Iran which is why they hedged their bets that way
Except hezbulla is a branch of Lebanon government, and only the u.s and Izzy call them ter.rOrisT the rest of the world see them as a political wing
It was the "Palastinians" that broke the idea of coexistence and without a pure unambiguous declaration of recognition the only option left is to restore the british mandate in which the Arabs got 72% of the territory ie: Jordan and the Jewish population got 28% ie: eretz Israel. It isbonly due to Jordanian self determination and arabs living within the Jewish mandate rejecting that which they have no right over that the UNGA article 181 pushed for a sub division of already small land of which the Negev is uninhabitable. That splot was 60/40 but it did nothing. Jordan then anexxed Judea and Sumaria yet we didnt hear any complaints until 67.
They were offered citizenship but rejected it due to pan islamist ideology that had festered since pre turn of the 1900s. Palastine is nothing and never was to any colonial power that has taken it, it is just a place to project power through fundamentalism.
Nothing short of an international administrative government for the next 30+ years will be sufficient for any talks on a "Palastine state" it will take two generations to de radicalise them and it will need powerful governments to help shepard a real palastinian government through what will be a weak period.

4:37 this is centered around Jabalia, which is very much a stronghold for Hamas. It's one of the last few neighborhoods where IDF has yet to enter. They are basically evacuating civilians from that area and are working to get a surrender from Hamas in this area. The videos of civilians leaving the are and speaking out in condemnation of Hamas are undergoing this process. Unless and until someone else has a better solution to offer, I'd say it's pretty obvious Israel is entirely capable of successfully managing themselves in this war. Regardless of all the international media condemnations of any and everything Israel does, military experts who have been on the ground observing this conflict have evidenced a much different reality than the media would suggest. I'm sure it's a very harsh environment in Gaza, but when you start a war, you'll face a war. They obviously haven't surrendered, so forgive me if I am not moved by all the international pressure on Israel to stop, I'll wait til the other side decides to surrender and return the hostages.
Yeah, this is bs. By all metrics Israel has failed all its strategic objectives in Gaza.
Only far left liberals support Palestinians. The irony is they don't acknowledged that hamas is very similar to nazis. far far right conservatives, fascists, dictators, racist, sexist, the only reason anyone in the west supports Palestinians is because they are in essence a nazi.
Agreed. This war was forced on Israel, and Israel cannot be condemned for fighting it with conviction.
@@blackkn1ght you have no idea what our strategic objectives are.
@blackkn1ght Hams harmed innocent people and trapped their own people to face airstrikes. The high toll means their objective is complete. Does that mean they're winning?
When you think about it, war is extermination of those who won't leave the area and refuse to surrender. 👀
You're saying that forcing Ukraine to a ceasefire would guarantee a repeat of the war within a short period - but seem to ignore that the same holds for Israel. Both have to keep fighting until their enemies capitulate and agree to abide by international agreements.
This is why Israel are setting up stations to prevent this happening again. Unless Hamas are disabled no civilian will be safe. They've squandered every opportunity on terror and doomed their people
Yeah but Ukraine is not doing mass graves, bombing hospitals and creating illegal settlements in Russia
The big difference is that Ukraine, even with carte blanche on weapons and funding, lack the manpower to actually force Russia out to the 1991 borders. It would require Western soldiers on the ground to achieve that. It is an unrealistic goal and anyone who understands the circumstances knew that two years ago. Some territory loss (it won't be as big as the current front) in exchange for sovereignty and a peacekeeping force/DMZ like the Koreas is the most likely and realistic bet.
Contrast that with Israel which is the actual military powerhouse to its neighbors and can actually achieve its stated goals without overwhelming help from foreign countries.
I've went American news silent since the election. I can not turn away from Simon's and his writers verifiable information. Thank you for shining a light on the world.
Why do none of these channels call for HAMAS to surrender? War ends as soon as they do, and Gaza stops being a war zone.
something freedom fighter, something something civilian are legitimate targets if they are Israeli something somehting they had it coming
- anti zionists
Not really, Hamas is a terrorist organization. That's spread amongst many countries. They don;t care about their people. They only care about their own terrorist goals. Gazians are not all Hamas. Far from it actually. A lot of them also opposed Hamas. But, unfortunately since they live in Gaza now they get exterminated.
It's like Ireland had the IRA terrorist group. Doing terrorist attacks on the UK. And then the UK coming in and genociding all of Ireland. Killing every man woman and child in Ireland regardless of whether they supported the IRA or opposed them.
So u are saying these channels are the ones who chose if hamas surrenders?
Because Israel has made it clear it's main war objective is to destroy Hamas. There's no point in calling for them to surrender. Use your brain next time, if you even have one. Imbecile.

Israel won the west bank from Jordan Golham heights from Syria a couple km from Lebanon and the Sinai peninsula and the Gaza strip from Egypt.
@@killionalexander30 then why keep building illegal setlements in the west bank? Even when the fighting happened in gaza and lebanon, israel did not stop and increases its settlement in the west bank.

@@killionalexander30even if you said that they won those territories. The population is under the jurisdiction of israel now and should become its citizens. But the israel kneset always rejected the bill to expand citizenship to include annexed palestinians in gaza and the west bank. The government have deliberately stated that they want to expel them from the land (which is a warcrime to expel and isolate population within occupied and annexed territories.)
@ignatiusiswaradatta6052 Under international law Gaza and the west bank are not occupied or annexed. And as for a path of citizenship in Israel there is many Palestinians with Israeli citizenship. 🤷 May be look into the reasons behind the why Israel doesn't want every single Palestinian given citizenship. Oct 7th 2023 is a GREAT reason. Or how about EVERY SINGLE WAR OR REVOLT started by Palestinians. Why do you think Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt,Syria, Iraq or Kuwait doesn't want them?
@ignatiusiswaradatta6052 Also. Any plans to bring Palestinians into Israel citizenship has to be approved by the 3 governments involved. The Israeli the pla and whatever government takes over for Hamas. Hamas was the BIGGEST road block to the people of Gaza becoming part of the 21st century.

Simon is usually better at avoiding his bias in coverage. This borders on antisemitic propaganda though.
How the hell is critical reporting of a conflict between a terror organization, which has killed several thousand innocent civilians over the years and a country which actively breaks international law and has killed tens of thousands of more or less innocent civilians, while also illegally settling on foreign soil and actively discriminating against part of its own population bordering on antisemitic propaganda?

Who needs Generals and Admirals when you can fill your cabinet with Army Majors, Lieutenant Colonel, and full bird Colonels? As of today, those are the ranks of the nominated Secretary of Defense, National Security Advisor, and Director of National Intelligence.
I'd argue they are less political than the positions of general and admiral and thus have a different engagement with those cabinet seats. One of the things that lengthened the GWoT was generals wanting to turn the war more conventional in order to get combat ops under their resumes for promotions instead of dominately fighting COIN with spec ops.

We went to Costa Rica in early 2023 (as Western Europeans), it was an absolutely amazing country. Like nothing we have ever experienced before.

In the countryside it felt a lot safer, but I could tell there was an addiction problem brewing, particularly with alcohol.
Wages are low there and I don’t know if it’s because we were foreign or not, but groceries were what I would consider expensive. Recipe for disaster

@@Verita1975when shit does actually hit the fan people in countries like South Africa and Costs Rica will be knocking at the gates of the developed world.. not the other way around.
Food is expensive if you have to import it. Europe largely produces it's own food within the union so transport costs are low. Costa Rica is technically not an island but for economic purposes it essentially is. They have to import large amounts of goods, by sea. That's expensive and the cost of food reflects that.
@Verita1975
That’s not true at all, I grew up on a croft on a Scottish island.
We grew probably 40% or so of our food, but obviously weather is not great there and the harvesting season is not all year round either.
The only fruit we could grow were applies and plums, anything else was bought because it couldn’t grow.
Winters there were harsh and the wind made it so much worse.
No surprise we also had addiction problems there to help alleviate the loneliness and cold (mostly alcohol).
Now living in Northern Germany with my German wife, but we still grow a lot and of course I will always repair or rebuild rather than buy new - that’ll never change.
Costa Rica has a lower income per person and an extremely expensive cost of living, I’m not sheltered, that’s the truth. I think I saw two proper farms in the time I was driving 4,000kms.
Lots and lots and lots of trucks bringing in exported goods though.
The events that will soon happen will tell us the fate that humanity holds, society is truly fascinating
A couple of points - the situation in Gaza is that Hammas spent nearly 20 years planning a multi-layer war in which civilian shields and causing suffering for civilians are key elements. Israel has two choices, ignore civilian casualties, as the Allies did in world war 2, or evacuate the civilians so as to be able to eliminate the terrorists. The war will not end until Hammas is gone - and so evacuating the civilians is the lesser of two evilts.
Israel Katz' main qualification for the job is that he will do whatever Netanyahu tells him, he has no relevant military experience, he has been a disaster as a foreign minister, and he is part of the Likud cesspool, where they compete to make stupid statements.
A recent poll in Israel shows the overwhelming majority want the war to end and a deal done to bring the hostages home. Then we can have a committee of investigation into the collapse of Netanyahu's concept and hopefully get id of the worst government in our history.

About the first quote, that's the nature of war.
Israel has controlled northern Gaza for nearly a year and whenever troops pull out of a region in northern Gaza, Hamas just sneaks back in.
I have not yet seen a single humanitarian aid that a Palestinian cares about on the seventh of October or an attempt to divide between civilians and combatants. The standard that Israel should have is so high. The ambition of a Maduroni army is to create a situation where an army can reach a situation where it fights against an army. There is international strife on the part of Hamas, they are trying to maintain a different thing that civilians were on the battlefield and by the way this is not the first time we have seen an attempt to separate between The fighting army for the citizens The battle in Mosul is a great example of how the peacekeeping force against ISIS evacuated the entire population to a humanitarian place and left ISIS in Mosul and fighting there

The way you describe the general's plans which ironically was thought of by people who are somewhat opposed to Netanyahu and that are considered moderate is quite brutal.
The idea isn't to starve out 400,000 people, the IDF is currently evacuating all civilians from the Northen portion of Northen Gaza. Many of those "civilians" are Hamas members or Hamas family members that refuse to evacuate, and they're only being evacuated 3-4 KM southwards. Israel is implanting the plan in a small portion of Gaza than envisioned, and will likely not declare Northen Gaza as closed military area as long as there are many civilians there. Israel did the same in Rafah and Khan Yunis.
After the civilians leave, and there is nobody in the area but Hamas, Israel would be able to stop bringing in aid that Hamas steals and makes money off. That's what Israel basically did anywhere in Gaza, in small sections each time. The only major difference is that Hamas stopped the civilians of Northen Gaza from leaving by force so that Israel would have no choice but to bring in aid.
Also, Israel doesn't intend to annex Northen Gaza, in the original general's plan, the idea is to negotiate with Hamas to allow the residents of north Gaza to return if they return the hostages, and they'll return through security checkpoints in the Netzarim corridor.
I was also taken aback by how he spoke about north gaza, and the people being too sick or weak from hunger is totally not what's happening.
@@stuartwalker2355 yea, it's the opposite
North Gaza is a tiny northern fringe of Gaza. it doesn't even include Gaza city. Some clarification, and more importantly verification, of which area is actually being evacuated (allegedly...) would be nice. I'm not going through the provided links looking for a needle in a haystack.

The war in Gaza and all the casualties are due to Hamas. Israel has no blame for any of the atrocities. If Hamas would surrender and release the hostages, the war would be over. You people that blame Isreal for the war are just sick and need to reevaluate yourself.
However, that said. The USA need to stop financing the war against Hamas and also the war against Russia in Ukrainian. We have enough problems at home. The help that wasted money could do for our vets, and infrastructure is way more important.
It occurs to me, if Democrats had gotten tf outta the way and let us finish in Central America back in the 1980's ...this wouldnt be happening.
Its weird how you talk about israels actions with a tone of voice that implies they are obviously wrong. Deportation of terror families is NOT controversial.
Indeed, that's why Haganah families should be deported fromthw area... oh wait.
This was always how this was going to end. The _end_ being the point. The fallout teaches you something about War. War never changes.
Love Israel ❤️
You will lose
Cheers pal
You mean Love Palestine
@@cultleader3572 ... how? Even outside the complicated moral questions here, Hamas have almost nothing left outside hatred for jews and child soldiers. Their leadership is dead or missing and their supplies are more limited then ever while Isreal is no longer holding back
@@safiagha8002 Its been Isreal from the 12 tribes to now. The claim to Palestine frankly has no basis, outside a colony name for the romans given to isreal due to language differences
You need writers that dont work for antifa
People act like Trump being elected is the end times, like they forgot that for all his faults, he's already been president for 4 years and was in fact one of the first ones that didn't start a new conflict in recent memory.
You need to educate yourself on Trump’s use of the military. He’s the one that negotiated with the Taliban. He’s a Putin puppet and admirer of all things authoritarian. Your fantasy version of Trump doesn’t exist.
Gallant was focusing on not losing, not focused on winning. That is not a successful strategy. Never mind that Israel is overwhelmingly winning, he is a borderline defeatist. Also, he had taken it upon himself to conduct foreign policy, which is not his portfolio. He had defied Netanyahu multiple times and needed to go.
