Love the content, but I have to agree with a lot of the comments here. The music choice was distracting and the audio mixing resulted in some really harsh sounds. Please look into fixing them for future videos!
From my experience, this cpuld very well be reuploaded.
If not, their long overhead on videos might cause a few weeks delay, but they generally react to feedback or find a compromise between the two standpoints
The audio was high pitch sounds like an 80s phone call, get better audio please!
High pitch sounds are not pleasant
I don't agree fully. Buuuut I do agree the music needs reconsideration. Even some old school medal of honor or big red one war tracks. Or hell even some classical, or something.

as I read elsewhere, a monopoly on violence is one of the key features that define a Nation's government, and in Lebanon the Monopoly on violence is not in the hands of the Lebanese government, at best, its a duopoly. at worst, its Hezbollah that has the monopoly.
As an Israeli, this was very sobering.
Im keep up to date on all these things yet you managed to offer important points of interest i overlooked or didnt consider.
Simon, dont know if youll see this, but if anyones interested, this is by far one of your best pieces of the conflict here.
Really good work.

As someone from the Middle East, I can confidently say that no media outlet provides a better analysis of the region's situation than this channel. Thank you, Simon, for the outstanding job!
The audio issues are incredible
i didnt have any issues, personally
yeah, I thought my earbuds were glitching out
the bass is gone
Man yall find anything these days
Music is a little loud but Simon comes through clear for me. Maybe it is an issue of you are using headphones but standard speaker appears to be reasonable.
Horrible conclusion, the americans couldnt handle afghanistan even after bombing it for 20 years how is the isral supposed to achieve any form of victory on foreign territory
Israel is not from the US.
They will give more than they get and they don't care about 'freeing' the
country and rebuilding it.
If the US was willing to be mean in Afghanistan they would have wiped out the Taliban (yes, yes the US wasn't always an angel in Afghanistan but they genuinely tried to limit collateral damage and build up the population to defend themselves).
You can bet if some town is known to have insurgents... Israel won't let it be a town for long - they won't simply target the insurgents when they're travelling or take out the specific building with the leader.
The video's conclusion makes no sense.. Simon claims Hezbollah will clearly start the war, then proceeds to explain it is because they have the capability to overwhelm the IDF's missile defense! Or is he suggesting Israel can stop them from firing missiles? They didn't manage it in 2006, and are unlikely to succeed before Hezbollah retaliates.
After spending the whole video underlining how a war in Lebanon would be much harder than what was faced in Gaza. The final claim is that Israel will clearly achieve in Lebanon what they failed to achieve in Gaza!
They lack basic knowledge and information in these videos it’s why I stopped watching them because they just don’t know shit all about warfare like most media because learning about wars warfare and how it works and happens isn’t a hobby/obsession for them like it is for me it took a little over 3 minutes for them to leave out important information for important context to the situation because they most likely don’t know
Because we were delusional and wanted to win “hearts and minds”, Bibi is more of a “please f**ck off, now and forever” kind of chap. Which is why Israel would win, where. We. Absolutely. Lost.
Um US defeated the Taliban in Afghanistan. How can Europeans defeat russia lol?
Israel has no choice.
Between Israel & Ukraine...are there any 155mm Artillery shell left?
hey! i'm out of shells. yeah, me too. ok, muskets at dawn?
Isn't Israel mainly using missiles and bombs rather then artillery?
Thankfully the total amount of shells America alone has supplied to Ukraine and Israel totals less than 10% of their reserve with more made every day and a new heavy production has been made in the U.S and the U.K has also stepped up shell production, I don't know about France and Germany's production but the long and short of it is, don't worry. There is still plenty more to dish out of needed, and that production is with the western nations in a peace-time economy. If and when it kicks off proper, war time production will ramp up massively.
Funnily enough, a lot of those worrying about the draft will be surprised to find themselves shoved into production and supply roles with very few seeing even distant smoke of combat.
Tooth to tail: people don't understand how many people are in the rear with the gear.
@@arthas640Short answer: yes. Regardless of what casualty numbers would have you think, Israel’s doctrine of warfare in urban settings points to use of more precise munitions such as missiles and smart bombs. UGBs and artillery are used when called upon by ground forces for less precise strikes on confirmed enemy combatant locations or fixed strategic positions that are confirmed empty but could later be utilized by enemies if left available. Otherwise they use more precise means to try to minimize civilian casualties and avoid potential friendly fire. How successful they are in that effort is subject to context, sources of information, chosen comparative conflicts, and debate.
One correction: Israel’s willingness to defend itself with overwhelming force, regardless of the cost, is not a feature of “current Israeli leadership”. It’s a core feature of the Israeli people and the mission of the nation, and has been official military doctrine for decades. I’m no fan of Bibi but ANY potential Israeli government will have the same attitude towards defense of the nation.
500,000 Settlers left , after Oct 7th .
Israeli’s are clever , they’ve hung-onto their other passports.
You are correct
Correct these

@@Curious-Mr.-Lee 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the video…..even on laundry day
Simon, that was a SERIOUS EPISODE 👍🏻good work!
Thank you Simon and the Warographics team for this really excellent and balanced look at the situation. I live in northern Israel and this is such a terrifying situation. It’s hard to have any hope. The leadership of Hezbollah are insane and willing to pay any price to destroy as many Israelis as possible, and meanwhile our PM is a criminal motivated only by his own self-preservation, an incompetent and dangerous politician, and rapidly bringing Israel and the whole region to destruction. I wish there was a way out. The Israeli political opposition has been trying to get Netanyahu out of power for years before 7.10, but the situation is only getting worse.
But as grim as it is, you really did an excellent job laying out the situation, and even as an Israeli there was a lot in here that I didn’t know previously. This is the kind of informative, in depth journalism we need but is unfortunately very rare right now. I only wish people with the power to stop the conflict were willing to see the truth that’s been laid out so clearly here.
Wishing you and the region a better future.
Nice to hear from the people stuck in the crossfire that are the ones that are truly in the position to lose everything. Those voices don't get heard enough... I'm so sorry you're all having to suffer through the trauma that must bring. All sides... all the victims... all the ones desperate to just survive... People do things they never thought they were capable of in times of pain and desperation... we all love God, and we all are told by God to love and forgive and to nit cause harm by acting on a way that is immoral or from sin. Why isn't that enough to stop this madness. The very thing everyone is fighting in the name of is who's commandments are being broken disobeyed. Love. Turn away from sin and love each other. God is good. War and hate are the devils work. Not God's. This is the opposite of what we are supposed to be doing. And I'm sure God's not too happy that all this madness is being done supposedly in his name...
@@joythoughtYes. Get rid of I slam.
@PawelSorinsky ....not Israel nor America or the whole western degenerate world can end Islam
You may kill us, laugh at our suffering
Justify killing our children
You may deceive many people to leave Islam
But Islam will come out victorious no matter what
when He comes, no nukes can stop him from ending this degeneracy, crulity, and all the nonsense that humanity committed and fell into, and that huu
@@joythoughtnever will…until Israeli’s get in their heads they will never know peace with the arab world. In Israel it should be mandatory for every Jew to read the hadiths and the Quran to understand Islam. Once they actually know what they’re dealing with only then will they understand peace will never exist with the muslim world.
Very good video, but it's new enough that a reupload probably won't hurt the views too much.
And tuning down high frequencies would certainly not hurt the watchtime

Or better, limit it to chapter transitions even there
Why is the audio in this video way quieter than the others I could barely hear it without turning my volume up

thanks for your patience
One important point which I think wasn't properly framed is that from the Israeli perspective, the Hezbullah situation can essentially only get worse - that we should've gone for it back in 2010 when they were already breaking the ceasefire terms and building up artillery south of the unifil line, and that the more we wait the worse it gets, meaning that as devestating as a war would be right now, if we get "peace" for 5 more years it will only get worse. I feel like there also wasn't enough emphasis on the fact that currently tens of thousands of Israeli citizens are living away from their northern homes: how much longer can this be allowed to continue?
I hope that somehow the war with Hezbullah never comes, but very sadly, it might have to happen sooner rather than later.
Acting like the north of Israel is on fire for no reason. You have escalated tensions in south Lebanon for years. We know the bigger picture is to achieve the larger goals. Greater Israel. Israel are not and never have been victims. Those that evacuated the north were colonial settlers continuously calling for the move into southern Lebanon. Fuck you. Fuck Israel and Fuck imperialism

Israel can’t invade and hold Lebanon. It just honestly doesn’t have a large enough man power to fight in by inch village by village mountainous terrain against 100k dug in, well armed, battle hardened troops fighting on their home turf and maintain the occupation of West Bank and Gaza.
Israel really can’t afford to lose 20% of their young men considering their low birth rate on a mission that might not even work.
Smart man. Good analysis
Israel has the highest birth rate out of all the OECD countries, and of all Western countries. It is also the only one to have a birth rate higher than the replacement rate of 2.1 children per female.
Apart from the said above, I don’t think ANY state has the luxury of losing 20% of its fighting age males, and not suffering the consequences. Post WWII Russia is a good case study of the outcomes of such loses.
@Urartus for the most part, I agree with you, and it was also odd to me that op said "low birth rate".
But it should be noted that Israeli muslim arabs and haredim have especially high birth rates, and neither of those groups serve in the Idf.
They don't need to hold all of Lebanon, just a buffer zone. They also don't need to fight all of Hezbollah, just enough to get the strategic wins like controlling supply lines, knocking out their missile systems and establishing air superiority. Dividing their army won't weaken it enough to discourage the warmongers, especially when they have unlimited weapons and intel coming from the West making it easy
@@Urartusyou need to remember that in this data there are:
1. Arab Israelis that have a higher birth rate than Jews
2. Orthodox Jews that have higher birth rates but mostly don’t serve in the IDF

Makes war fun!
Based on the experiences of 2006, Hezbollah will initiate contact with the IDF from Northern Israel to force Israel to engage on territory they occupy instead of targeting Southern Lebanon; changing the IDF response and tactics.
That's unlikely. In 2006 Hezbollah couldn't really attack Israel head on since it was weaker than Hamas was in 2023.
Based on the current war in which Hezbollah tried to infiltrate Israeli territory and failed each time, and on the fact that Israel destroyed Hezb tunnels that go into Israel in 2018, it's much more likely Hezbollah will draw Israeli forces into southern Lebanon rather than going on the offensive. They have tunnels inside southern Lebanon, they don't really have any hiding spots inside evacuated northern Israel

Israel's war with Hezbollah is simply unwinnable; just like the US war against the Taliban. The nature of these organisations and the geography they operate in (Well explained in the video), simply make them unbeatable when facing a conventional army, regardless how strong is that army. Israel is far better fortifying its northen border, and keep striking from the air when required. Unless and until Assad is removed in Syria and a stronger coalition is built in Lebanon against Hezbollah, there's no way Israel can "destroy" Hezbollah in a war. They are still fighting in Gaza after 10 months.
That’s because they are in plain clothes or hiding in tunnels. I don’t think hezbollah has the same options as hamas. As well this would be a fight between soldiers I don’t think hezbollah would be hiding behind civilians.
@@SeverusAlexanderAugustus found the Hezbollah propaganda account
Unfortunetly you are right , Same with Hamas.
guerilla organizations can be weakned but destroying them is difficult to impossible.
They will never surrender like a large army , and fight to the last man, and in the case of Hamas and Hezbollah , both see death as a devine cause, that should be embraced not feared, where's israel , morns on every Civilans or soldier lost , we value life highly.
As much As I'd love to see those 2 groups vaporized , it's unlikly.
Idk about that if Israel gets involved with Hezbollah they will definitely be less conventional then they have been with Hamas they will very likely use bunker bombers and things like that in Lebanon and abuse the shit out of middle east air superiority
@@TylerDavis-bm8gi hezbollah was literally hiding behind civilians in 2006 even their current bases are all in civilian villages
its crazy looking back at this now lol
You can see the dedication this guy has on the tan of his arms. He’s like the Elon Musk of UA-cam.
That Band-Aid is gonna hurt like hell to pull off...
Important to mention that Israel’s last war with Hezbollah in 2006 did not go according to plan. Multiple generals and ministers resigned from how chaotic the war went. Israel crippled Southern Lebanon but failed to severely cripple Hezbollah. And that was 18 years ago. Imagine how much more trained Hezbollah had become since.
Interesting choice of words.
First 30 seconds - the word choice reveals just another propagandist video -
Excellent Simon!
Sometimes I wonder what it would take to create peace in the Middle-East but then I realize that I don't want to know. All that constant bloodshed and things barely if ever change.
Easy and historically accurate awnser ?
The Ottoman Empire 😅
SHHH dont let the British Empire hear you teaching accurate history. They will push NATO to label you a "terrorist"
I remember netenyahu saying that they are weeks away from eliminating hamas
This was 6 months ago
and years after.
They aren't trying to eliminate Hamas, they are eliminating Palestinians using Hamas as a scapegoat.
I don't think people are understanding.....Israel's goal is not just to eliminate hum us but to eradicate its ideology. If no one is left alive, then no one can uphold the hum us ideology.

The war is the point. For some people it really is the horrible point.
What a genocide apologist. The whole script sounds like it came off an Israeli version of chat gpt.
Just when I thought the struggles of covid were over, along comes war
Covid was a lie.
@@zacherylamb8811 your mom is a lie
There were dozens of wars and genocides that took place during covid. What rock were you living under?
It's not unrelated.
Covid brought stimulus spending.
Stimulus spending brought inflation.
Inflation brought high interest rates.
High interest rates brought economic insecurity.
Economic insecurity brought war.
Also in what world was covid comparable to rockets blowing up homes and slaughtering people's children?
We didn't struggle that hard through COVID.
Audio is very low I thought something wrong with my phone 😂
Make no mistake. Hezbollah is not a "non state actor." They are Iran.
Yea the backround music is hilarious. But if people cant genuinely hear the commentary. Theyve got terrible audio devices 🤣🤣🤣
Simon needs some sunlight.
how many channels does this man have?? I see his face all over the place lol
72 channels and counting last time I checked. No, 73 channels, he just started another one as I was writing.😂😂😂
467
Pretty soon he’ll own UA-cam.
all praise the mighty alogrithm
Amazing video pulled no punches. And there is a knew wild card/joker in the room Turkey meddling to pursue interests in Cyprus and elsewhere. I expect other powers in the region to meddle as well for opportunistic reasons
How do you keep being objective in all of this Simon, not just this conflict but *motions around generally*
This video has a super sharp 's' sound throughout, it way louder than the other frequencies. Some of the videos in the past have had this as well. Is there any chance you could filter the audio to dampen the sound around 4kHz a little? Many microphones do this out-of-the-box, did you change anything in your audio setup recently?
I would be lost without this channel
when did you lose your map
Ah, delusion. Good luck.
Any chance that you adjust Simon's audio above a whisper? Probably not.
I can't imagine being this passive aggressive on the internet

I like the casual vibe ❤
The last couple of days this has kicked off again
as am saw your comment i could hear missile, so yes.
Did you seriously just say that Israel is unlikely to strike first? Have you paid any attention to history?
Israel is unlikely to start first, because Hezbollah already made first (and second and third) strikes.
@@leonidfro8302 Nah dude Israel always does "pre-emptive" strikes. No one else actually attacks first.
@@Drunkendrakon I guess 5 months of shelling doesn’t count as “strike”. That’s justified resistance. Amiright?
No idea what people are complaining about audio was fine
yep
Thanks for giving a neutral opinion / recap weekly ! Love yall
The anxiety is real
Simon's looking quite beefy! 🤩
Looked for this I commented similar 😂
Great content but... sup with the audio?
The fact you won't call Israel indiscriminate bombing of children "horrific" stopped me in my track watching this video
I see you get your news from Hamas.
@Oxinder lol what utter nonsense. We see the videos on online.
@@muhammedharun4606 oh I see you also get your news from Hamas.
It’s worse; they are eating them. I’ve seen videos, they are using zombies indiscriminately.
@@OxinderWe see you’ve swallowed the hasbara hook, line and sinker.
Seek help or your hate will eat you alive.
Important point: this war, if and when it happens, will not be a war between Israel and Hezbollah. It will be between Israel and Lebanon, regardless of how involved and effective the LDF will be. This is because Hezbollah is part of the Lebanese government - arguably the most significant part - and operates within Lebanon with impunity. It also uses Lebanese public facilities, such as the Beirut Airport and port, for its military purposes. As a result, it's unlikely and unreasonable to expect Israel not to target such infrastructure. In particular, if Hezbollah hits Israeli civilian targets then Israel will likely go after the entire infrastructure of Lebanon. If this happens then Israel may destroy the airport, all the ports, all main roads and bridges, electricity and water infrastructure, factories, and of course, army bases and government facilities. In other words, Lebanon as a state will cease to exist.
israel as a state is already barely existing
We can only hope.
One might argue that the US is Hezbollah's main international backer since the US effectively enables Iran to back Hezbollah.
