The fact that 9 years later I can barely tell if this was made yesterday.
Might as well. Today it's harder to satirize anything because everything is just... (hand waves)
@@Martcaptyou make a great point. With the advent of Trumpism, and over the top far left craziness, we see how many of our fellow citizens are crazy and not too bright. The people in the middle are busy trying to hold this crap together.
This is where I get my up-to-date information on the Israeli Palestinian conflict
this video aged so well
I saw this in my recommended, and was like, “here we go again”
I love it when something happens and UA-cam starts to recommend the relevant Onion video
What's sad and funny at the same time? This is still a video that they could have released today and it would be JUST as fitting.
@@FelixUmbra which one is that
That part about the two sides both sharing "mutual goals" was pure brilliance
The same goal but different gods!
But they don’t share mutual goals?
One side just wants to exist, while the other side wants total control and to steal land and homes without repercussions. Painting them as two sides of the same coin inhumane in itself.
The fact one side has the power to cut off food/water/energy whenever they feel like it should make the imbalanced situation quite clear, but do correct me if I’m wrong about this please
@@tobsmonster2 you're definitely right about the power imbalance but it's also true that the ones in power on both sides want to completely eradicate everyone on the other. The international community, including Israel led to the conditions that the civilians in the region are now suffering for
@@tobsmonster2 apparently the people who "just wanted to exist" just treated a concert for peace in the middle of the desert as a shooting gallery cum hostage hunting grounds, raped and killed a bunch of innocent tourist who attended said concert (which, again, was held in hope for peace), and then still proceeded to murder children and grandmas just because they're Israeli citizens. one of them even took the time to record a video of the grandma's dead body before posting it on her facebook account. truly the act of people who just wanted to exist
@@tobsmonster2 zionists and hams both think like mustache man. if hams had the power make no mistake they would do the very same thing
The Onion: The best source of current news from 8 years ago.
Holy shit your so right and in a funny way too rofl

They even told you about their ability to tell news from the future mane. They weren’t joking.
This is still 100% accurate, and will always be.
Yet they won't release the JFK files.
”Global leaders worked tirelessly to engineer a conflict so intractable that it could last indefinitely” I see no lies here
Never thought i'd consider The Onion as a legitimate news source, but...reality has become a clownshow.
It's funny because it's true 😢
Watch 'Twilights Last Gleaming' with Burt Lancaster for some perspective.
Sadly I feel like alot of the onions jokes hide better news in them then our news channels would ever be willing to talk about its kinda funny tho
Andoni:
Netanyahu is “Satan YAh u” that is to say “Satan God (Yah) U”
He is the “man of lawlessness” mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2. He is the “son of perdition”.
And as soon as he finishes building the “third temple” and sacrificing “red cows” to “conjure” Dajjal(SATAN), he will receive all of the Powers of Dajjal and declare himself to be GOD.
2 Thessalonians 2:1 - 17
1Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers,2not to be easily disconcerted or alarmed by any spirit or message or letter seeming to be from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord has already come. 3Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness-the son of destruction-is revealed. 4He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
5Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you?6And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.
9The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, 10and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them.11For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, 12in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.
Was just about to watch a 2 hour documentary on the conflict but this is far more digestable. Thanks for the neutral reporting!
Not just more digestible, but also informative than 80% of mainstream media sources on the conflict.
@granudisimo right. Not to make this ugly but it was disgusting how the media span a narrative a few days back that babies were getting b□□headed. Later to be revealed it was a lie
Indeed. Straight to the point.
I'm with Israel, 1000%.
When you celebrate things like Pulse, Charlie Hebdo, Bataclan, and 9/11, I have no sympathy. No tears for terror.
The sad part? I used to be Pro-Palestine. Until Pulse. I forgave everything else until I realize just how much they consider me less than. The muslim world, including Palestine, celebrated the slaying of people like me.
So honestly? I do not care.
Israel existing didn't make them homophobic. They did that all on their own.
And you know what's funny? No muslims ever refute this unless it's to state that they do, in fact, think I am not a person. Kinda weird, isn't it? 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
@DDRWakaLaka I definitely understand you.
It was the same event that gave me enough courage to stop living in the closet.
I'm now curious though...what is the other side's position on us?
I know that this video is satirical, and makes no factual statements whatsoever, but I find this video to be biased against whatever side I support.
So it's biased against Israel?

It typically takes about a decade for reality to catch up with the Onion, but this one has been up-to-date for well over half a century now.
If i pick Israel, i'm an islamophope and a zionist. If i pick Palestine, i'm a neonazi and an antisemite. So I have to ask myself the question...why not both?
as in: nuke them both and be done with it?
dahulius It's like picking a sports team to root for in a low league in a sport you don't care about.

I mean what gay kid doesn't want to fly?
Hilarious. My one quibble is that they gave credit for engineering an endless conflict to the UN when that prize truly belongs to the British.
UN engineering something that actually works is credit they don't deserve lol. Last time they tried it was police action in Korea to stop Chinese from making a puppet state with russia-born Kim emperor at the helm.
hear, hear!
Another endless conflict waged by the british was india and pakistan
it’s a liberal argument ommitting key facts. Like this is euro-colonial project started by the british. Or the power imbalance between Israel, the nation-state with a military funded by the US, versus Palestineans, a ragtag group of refugees in camps. Or Israel’s consistent slaughter and kidnapping of random palestineans every months for decades. It’s a liberal take on the conflict that bothsides everything to cover for Israel
The UN was just a victory lap for the victorious Allied powers, of which the British were one. The real players were the US, UK, France, Russia and China. On other geopolitical issues Russia and China counterbalance the NATO countries but on the Israel Palestine issue they don’t really offer any real pushback aside from rhetoric

No matter what’s in the news, there’s a decade old onion video about it doing a better job at explaining it that any documentary.
Careful with so-called documentaries... They can be very biased depending on who made them. I recommmend a 16 minute video by ReallyGraceful called "What Christians Aren't Taught About Zionism"
how is it good though, they portray it as if its 2 equal sides meanwhile one stole and still steals the land of the other and is oppressing them for decades
@@janhenrik4170yeah yeah
It gets it wrong on Israel’s goals, as we know Israel can achieve those goals militarily. It hasn’t, therefore we can know that those are not Israel’s goals. Whereas the same is not true for Palestine/HAMAS, which does not have the capability to wipe out Israel, although ideology wise would if they could.
@@janhenrik4170 Palestine steals land too just look at the current map, both of them are invading eachother. Now, the only reason I support Israel is because another Muslim state won't do the world any good.

I thought The Onion was supposed to make satire, this is just actual history
I thought so too, I was confused.
Sometimes reality is more funny than satire
Its perfect except I think it fails to say that the palestins existed before israel and that israel only came to be through the support of the west and it for some reason equates both sides civilians with their corresponding leadership. I think its pretty unfair that refugees claimed and conquered a country they took refuge in.
@@Xeadrielthat’d be way to provocative and one sided a message to keep the satire video neutral.
You’d just get hate filled comment sections about both sides claiming their true rights to land instead of a comedy, you can go to any other proper biased news site for that.

Though thoroughly amused by the endless carnage, i am concerned about the unhealthy levels of interest our politicians are taking in it... don't they know you aren't supposed to pick a side?
Protester19 I agree. They should remain as a neutral spectator and just watch the neverending bloodshead. If they pick a side the effort of UN just goes to waste.
Protester19 'our' as in American politicians?
and the USA hasn't kept out of the business of other countries since WW2. Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, etc, all that crap had nothing to do with the USA and we waste the lives of our military for virtually nothing but for some reason we call that nothing 'freedom'. I respect those with a strong love of our country and who want to represent it via the military but this country goes to war on a whim constantly. The last time America's freedom was in jeopardy was during WW2, ever since then it's about $.
I guess the silver lining is we always have experienced and combat trained soldiers since we're constantly at war. I hear a lot of people complaining about how we treat our war vets, well, most of those vets shouldn't even have ever seen war.

Sadly, this is the most accurate portrayal of Israel vs Palestine I have ever seen.
Saw a chilling interview. Isreali woman in illegal house in Palestine: "We don't have any problems with them. If we see one we shoot them."

and they're doing it from eight years ago.
This problem is just another outcropping of the exact same problem that has been going on for nearly a century.
how is ti accurate if they portray 2 qual sides, they actually couldve done a good job but theyre American after all
You went straight to the comment section
Used this in a school presentation. Glad to know the teacher enjoyed the humor. I didn't see it coming.

The satire is a good reflection of how much the Overton window has shifted
Ah I wonder why this is back in my recommended again
"Israelis and Palestinian leaders see the same solution to the problem"
Me: See! So sit down and make peace with one another.
"Build a nation over the corpses of the enemy"
Me: Oh- ...
Not really true. Israel has consistently been supporting two state solution while arabs insist on killing them all.
This is a lie, Palestinians don’t think this. All they want is freedom. Israel has imposed a blockade of all water, food and electricity. They have dropped over 6000 bombs on Gaza within the past few days. They ordered 1million people from north Gaza to evacuate and bombed them when they did.

UA-cam recommending this now is wild
Insane it's still showing Nentenyahu in power
This video is the best explanation I have ever seen being given for this topic. Well done.
This has not aged at all, unfortunately.
Why not ?
The two sided struggle continues, just s they foretold.
@howard5992 it’s continued, but it hasn’t aged, developed, or otherwise changed… its the exact same conflict
@@MumflrFumperdink-ev8hw Oh, I see my mistake.
I thought their comment said that it had *not* aged well, meaning that something *had* changed'. TY
They both just want the same thing ... what an optimistic way to look at it
that is completely correct. most israelies and palestinians just want to live in peace. small group escalate the conflicts, hamas uses his religious ideology to shoot missiles at civillians, and religious jews settle in west bank areas, which have a large arab population. both sides are to blame. only when we will get over our history we wiil be able to make peace
UA-cam algorithm wild💀
I love it when something happens and UA-cam starts to recommend the relevant Onion video
Finally a recommended video from 8 years ago makes perfect sense.. unlike how it usually goes.
It's no coincidence I got this recommended now
UA-cam algorithm is cooking.
Getting recommended this video right now is just…pure onion.
Supreme rule of the internet: The Onion is the most reliable news source; if it's not legitimate at a given time period, it will be in a few years
Thank god someone has up to date and unbiased information on this developing situation
Couldn't have explained the Middle East Conflict better if you actually explained the Middle East Conflict. Perfectly done....
This aged VERY well
And will continue to age well for many years to come. Sadly.. :(
@@PluvioZAI'm taking bets. How long do you think this current _tiff_ will last, and how long before another fight breaks out?
When an 8 year old video pops up in your suggestions, you know it's both timeless and immediately relevant.
for a piss-take, this is suprisingly accurate
This is the onion, they are a trusted news source and won't stand for your slander.
Cant wait to watch this video 8 years from now while still being very accurate and relevant.
Nope, there will be no Palestine by then.
@@barryallen871 If so, hopefully no 🇮🇱 either.
I hope the world sees them for who they really are this time. Skepticism has gone up significantly due to years of being lied to by MSM.
@@daviddavidson2357 A zero-state solution might be the worst possible take. Nature abhors a vacuum, and human nature is no different.
@@daviddavidson2357ah, the no-state solution
@@sigmascrub Well, they do have WMDs
That they stole from the US
Naaah no way they recommend this to me now 💀
UA-cam got a sick sense of humor
The real one state solution was the friends we made along the way.
Who won? Who's next? You decide!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee p... ic... ic, ic, ic.................... GOD BATTLES OF HISTORY!!!!!!!
Lowkey it almost doesnt seem like satire. Like the conflict only existing for our entertainment part.
I guess the real Jihad was the friends we made along the way.
YT algorithm really coming in clutch with these Onion reccomendations
Well this aged well
That moment when you realize this video was posted 8 years ago.
I was like damn they were quick making this video then i realized they made this 8 years ago and its still perfectly true.😂😂😂
If you are dumb enough to not see the difference between the state of Israel and bloodthirsty terrorists from Gaza, then keep watching onion's bs.
And it will be just as true in another 8, if not more so.
