I’m Israeli. I’ve always been roughly centrist with lean to right in recent years. I have lefty friends. All of them without exception criticize Netanyahu for not having gone harder and faster this past year. Not ignoring the Americans more. Not dealing with Hezbollah sooner. Even when they supported a deal up until a month ago, it was in their mind because Netanyahu was too weak and cowardly and this is dragging on for too long - so now we have to make a deal. They say any thought of a two state solution should be postponed for 30 years. Again - these are lefties. That left seen on global media at times calling for a cease fire and surrender since month 2 of this war are a tiny and insignificant minority. The old peace camp Israeli left has effectively ceased to exist.
I would say this exactly was the goal of hamas on oct 7 (especially considering the saudi peace talks) - postpone peace indefinitely, by shifting public opinions on both sides to the extreme - unfortunately they were very successful :(
Thanks to John Anderson Media ,an insightful exposure of what the Terrorists mindset is. Victor speaks with utter clarity on the sincere motives of the Israeli Government to protect their people. How odd that our Western leaders appear to we ordinary people to be frightened of these Terrorists. The Australian Prime Minister hesitating to enact our Legislation when supporters of Terrorism invade our streets and threaten Australians. Good on Israel and R.I.P. to their citizens who's lives were taken by evil.
Yes, it is throughout the Western World. I never would have guessed the level of anti-semitism displayed by Western Leaders since Oct. 7. May history know their shame.
From Israel: Thank you VDH for your support with words of wisdom on what Israel is doing not only for itself but also for the rest of the world. One day in the not so far future we are going to get much of the international community to speak like you about Israel.
An excellent summary especially of the ideological capture of the educational system in the US which has been years in the planning and implementation.
Victor has put so succinctly into words the situation that Israel has gone thru from one year ago. His insights were spot on and poignantly referred to Europe and it's predicament much as Israel has dealt with. Does Europe have the stomach to do what Israel has done remains to be seen. If they do not implement some drastic measure to curtail Islamists calling for Sharia law, they will become a stranger in their own countries.
Victor is a brilliant man, with great, godly values. And very good at articulating his thoughts. Sometimes a bit slow to come to the point, but if a person has the time to listen, it's well worth it. Congrats to Victor.
It is clear Israel has finally arrived at the decision to see to her own future safety, and no longer seeks American approval for what she does. Despite that what Israel is doing for the 'west', it is finally acknowledged that America can no longer be considered a trustworthy ally. At this time, you may be assured that Iran is desperately shoring up its nuclear facility security, while Israel quietly plots its imminent destruction. There will only be one victor here, and Israel owes America nothing. To the contrary, America owes Israel everything....
I’m so thankful to hear two giant minds speaking out loud what’s in my mind tumbling around with no outlet..because we have been gagged by our governments 😢
"The admiration for Israeli ingenuity", so correct! Kudos to the Israelis! I concur with you Victor; the heinous thing is how Aljazeera reports these conflicts between Israel & both Hezbollah & Hamas, so disingenuous.
The story started from 1979 with Iran revolution that was supported by france and biritish government, and until stability comes back to Iran , Middle East never sees peaceful days
And Hezbollah and Hamas are yelling Get me out of here.The world knows what happened and who did it They sold the people out for the money for the money for the Mullah in Iran deal with it
The landscape in the Middle East has been made very unique over the decades and Israel is very knowledgeable of it all, not so for the outsiders. I stand with Israel!
I did watch the full interview. But I particularly liked the observation that Israel is showing us we don’t need to fear these people. I would recommend the full interview.
I must say that Mr Hanson gave a brilliant analysis of the problem in the middle east. I wish every single person in the world would listen with an open mind. It's time people stop to supporting terrorists.
Brilliant man. Love VDH. I disagree though about Bibi. He’s very much disliked even by Israelis who are very much pro war currently. Nearly 100% of Israelis now support the IDF doing whatever is necessary by any means necessary to destroy Hamas, hezbollah and the IRGC- once and for all! However, many of these Israelis still strongly dislike bibi. It’s not possible to slice the population along any straight lines, it’s more nuanced than that.
And I would guess that just as many support him as a great, strong leader so although your point is undoubtedly correct that is the way politics works. There’s never a situation where everyone agrees with everyone else. I know which side I’m on.
actually the no-Bibi people are a small, constant group, strongly publicized by MSM and especially the english press, (the largest of which has always been extremely leftish) which is what's read by non-Israelis. Also most rightist-conservative folks are much quieter- as in most places. Dr. Hanson is right.
VDH makes me hopeful for peace in the Middle East and the world. I came out of the New Left and then the revolutionary left, but would never have contemplated supporting a death-cult such as Hamas and Hezbollah. The terms socialist and communist have always been problematic, particularly since the rise of Stalinism and later Maoism (Sinofied Stalinism), but today's progressive left has descended even further into those brutal ideological strains by attacking Enlightenment principles which elevate human freedom and ordered civilization above chaos and barbarism.
exact figures for Gaza do not exist but Lancet made an estimate of over 200 000 if dead from hunger and disease due to health care collapsing. Israhell is the death cult as the world now recognizes.
Yes, but think about the basic principle of the criminal Communist doctrine: any barbaric act is justifyed for the sake of the Party. Mothers killed their sons, their parents, Stalin starved to death 30 M people. There are no morals when it comes to socialism, which is really Communism coated with saccharine. Hamas-Hezbollah are just different versions, but not too distant.
So hard to see why a moderate approach was used to an enemy who openly declares a wish to ruin you. Eg notifying "civilians" of imminent attack while knowing they won't go to safety - deliberately. It's war. Yet we hear so much about acting within rules of war. All the while combatants(the good guys) are dying - for hostages who are probably now dead.
I will pray for you and the Israeli people. The situation is hard and simple - No justice, no peace. The ramifications of this statement make me sad. I ask: Can a nation be maintained in anger, division, and the deaths of innocent women and children by the tens of thousands?
A brilliant, perceptive, knowledgeable, articulate man. It tickled me to hear him say what George W Bush was ridiculed for, "nuc-ye-lar". I love a civilized interview - the kind without interruptions and talk-overs. I can learn in that environment.
🇺🇸🇺🇸 Make the US strong like Israel! Build up our defense system and make our military the strongest in the world. Advisory Appointment for Victor D. Hanson when Trump is Elected. President ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
When you listen to Douglas MacGregor, Scott Ritter, Chaz Freeman, Larry Johnston, Alex Krainer and Larry Wilkerson just to name a few, they paint a different picture regarding the state of Israel not to mention Ukraine. Who should I believe?
I have to agree. So many in Australia, for example, have foregone clear thinking, sound historical understanding and traditional values and sided with the left under the utopian promise (socialism) of fairness and equality to all regardless of moral law
Im from South Africa, I have never heard a better analysis by anybody. I will be watching out for him, thank you for sharing this.
👌🌹
V-VA RSA.
So well spoken. Tying the threads of this whole situation together.
Victor Davis Hanson is a National Treasurer. There are many smart men to listen to, he is among the brilliant ones.
I admire and respect Mr. Hanson so much. An extremely well spoken, thoughtful man. Thank you for letting him speak. A wake-up call, for sure.
Always loved to hear victor Davis. He is so smart and so fair. He knows what he is talking about.

We prefer Iran. Iran is much stronger and more ethical than you.
Greater Israel won't be happening with US taxpayer money.
The arrogance of power blinds one to the significant losses suffered by the occupying army in Gaza and southern Lebanon, as they are not ironman.
I am still a left leaning centrist but a lot of my views did not survive under scrutiny of the past year.
They finally realized you can’t co-exist with a medieval ppl. The left here in the US don’t seem to understand that.
I would say this exactly was the goal of hamas on oct 7 (especially considering the saudi peace talks) - postpone peace indefinitely, by shifting public opinions on both sides to the extreme - unfortunately they were very successful :(

Somebody who exults in the use of state terror against innocent civilians because he thinks the end justifies the means is a man of "godly values"?
Powerful message indeed ❤
Well put, Couldn't agree more..tks victor
How can I find the words
to thank you both enough. From the bottom of my heart I thank you.
Straight talking...all this should be obvious to any western person over 10 years of age...
Im from South Africa and i really admire the intelligence of this man.
Imagine him as your President.
Or ours...

very good insight
Thank you Mr Hansen for powerful message
Great little conversation, very insightful. Thanks for getting these guest speakers.
I’m so thankful to hear two giant minds speaking out loud what’s in my mind tumbling around with no outlet..because we have been gagged by our governments 😢
Good listening to such knowledge.
The reaction on the left and on university campuses was as shocking as the atrocities committed by Hamas....VDH. yes.
They were celebrating the next day under the cloak of 'protest'. It was very revealing.
The Israelis are giving the western militaries a clinic on violence of action and decisiveness. The lesson is that being ruthless is a huge plus.
Victor you’re awesome.
Victor Davis Hanson fully understands Israel. He is the best.
Bullseye 🎯
This man is so right
Love both of you guys❤❤❤
Thank for letting VDH talk uninterrupted.
Excellent
Great show!
Israel being the light of the world again.
Wise man. Thank you!
Two good men having a conversation.
Very well spoken, thank you!
"The admiration for Israeli ingenuity", so correct! Kudos to the Israelis! I concur with you Victor; the heinous thing is how Aljazeera reports these conflicts between Israel & both Hezbollah & Hamas, so disingenuous.
amazing, well presented.
DEI is at the forefront of antisemitism. Brilliant analysis. Spot on.
The story started from 1979 with Iran revolution that was supported by france and biritish government, and until stability comes back to Iran , Middle East never sees peaceful days
What a brilliant man!
So well said!!
"labyrinths" is the operative word here.
And Hezbollah and Hamas are yelling Get me out of here.The world knows what happened and who did it They sold the people out for the money for the money for the Mullah in Iran deal with it
The landscape in the Middle East has been made very unique over the decades and Israel is very knowledgeable of it all, not so for the outsiders. I stand with Israel!
Well said.
That was encouraging!
Greatest condensed synopsis of current events ((EVER )) ❤
WOW! Love his wisdom!❤
Israel is united, focused, resolute, determined.
VDH is most certainly a national treasure.
I did watch the full interview. But I particularly liked the observation that Israel is showing us we don’t need to fear these people. I would recommend the full interview.
God Bless Israel 🇮🇱

Just give it up. Just stop. There are no political solutions.
Makes the most sense out there

I wish that a religion wouldn't but that's naive
@@jhljhl6964 yeah we need to stop fake religions like Islam and Judaism
Look in the mirror. Can you see the oppression people are suffering by the chosen people? Get your heads out of the sand.

We stand with Israel forever ♾

The UN & UN women's groups lack of response was [& is ] shocking.
AMEN
VDH is a gift to humanity.
On point
🇮🇱🙌🏻🇮🇱
stay strong Israel
Hanson had better understanding of Israel more than 95% of commnters on TV news and UA-cam
All Arab countries is already trembling about Irans threat of attacking them if they allow Israel using their air space
Very important insight for European.
A brilliant, perceptive, knowledgeable, articulate man. It tickled me to hear him say what George W Bush was ridiculed for, "nuc-ye-lar". I love a civilized interview - the kind without interruptions and talk-overs. I can learn in that environment.
Victor Davis Hanson hombre.
They are not medieval they are pre- medieval
What other military knocks on building roofs to warn occupants of an incoming strike?
How do you stop a terrorist??
Ask a man in the IDF...all due respect good gentlemen.
TRUTH !!!!!!!
I don't know from where you get your information but Netanyahus coalition is right now in its lowest support according to polls
This situation reminds me situations of natural world ( not human world) Human brain for nature(Tao)is an abstract.🧐😎
I really do admire how Israel is fighting back against the terrorists. A lot of lessons in there for the West.
Of course Israel is blameless.
It is the duty of “Keepers of the Light” to defeat “The Forces of Darkness!!
Deal with Iran, its that simple and everyone knows it.
Democrazy at its best
No body could believe in hamas that would do what they did... Isn't it?

I have to agree. So many in Australia, for example, have foregone clear thinking, sound historical understanding and traditional values and sided with the left under the utopian promise (socialism) of fairness and equality to all regardless of moral law
What are Americans doing where Hezbollah is. Sounds like self defense to me
ISRAEL, A LIGHT UNTO THE NATIONS.
