    The first time I read the story of those brave Irish men who went on a hunger strike, I was genuinely shocked. The resemblance between the brutality and criminality of Thatcher's dogma and the treatment of Palestinian prisoners by the Israelis, especially those who go on hunger strikes, is startling. Keep up the great work, Seth. I will be proud to get an Irish Kofeya and wear it with my Palestinian kofeya 🇵🇸💚✌🏽

    Greetings Sir; I enjoyed the cover song. To my American ears I am hearing the song "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" music, is the original song your cover song or am I just "hearing things" ?? It seems like the melody is very similar but what do I know? Either way you have a beautiful singing voice and I will continue to stay a follower.

It isn’t fair that they were born into a war they couldn’t win, with targets on their backs for simply being born in a certain time and place. Bring back their resources and their land. Speak for them who deserve but do not have these guarantees at current. They are living in a merciless situation through no warrant and what feels like no end. Speak for them. Think of them…
    And be grateful for your own freedom of media-use it to help the cause; they are targeted for trying to tell their story… we are the only ones who can. Knowledge is power and empowerment is critical.

    • @MordechaiHershoffyoutube
      @MordechaiHershoffyoutube Рік тому +1

      So Russia invading Ukraine is the same thing as Israel getting invaded and kids being targeted and murdered, and then Israel responding by wishing to wipe out the power that tried to kill and wipe them out, unfortunately Gazan civilians will die, but that's on Hamas, for first trying to wipe us out and then hide behind their own people and use them as human shields.

    • @sethstatonwatkins
      @sethstatonwatkins  Рік тому +45

      @MordechaiHershoffyoutube the IDF has been using Palestinian child hostages as human shields during their raids for decades, and prior to the Oct. 7th attack, 248 Palestinians, including 40 children, had been killed this year alone by Israeli security forces. The Hamas attack, though not justified, was a response to ongoing Israeli aggression. And the disproportionate Israeli response, coupled with the genocidal rhetoric from Israeli officials and yourself, is unspeakably evil.
      And it doesn't stop with Palestinians. I will reiterate that on and after Oct. 7th, Israeli citizens that may well have been treated humanely as hostages (as evidenced by testimony from Yocheved Lifschitz), were instead killed by IDF forces. According to eyewitness testimony from Israeli survivor Yasmin Porat, IDF soldiers shot and killed Israeli hostages alongside Hamas militants. What's more, Israeli deputy commander Erez admitted to shelling Israeli houses with all occupants inside to kill the "terrorists".
      Furthermore, the Israeli government has repeatedly denied offers to release hostages in exchange for sorely needed supplies and instead is content to bomb them as well, despite videos of said hostages emerging in which they are begging for a ceasefire and condemning the Israeli government.
      Finally, it is Israel, not Hamas, that had plans leaked which entail forcibly removing 2.3 million Palestinians from their homes in Gaza to the Sinai Desert which is textbook ethnic cleansing (hint: that is very bad).

      The Ukrainians didn’t mount a stealthy attack
      on Russia killing 1, 400 people and seizing hostages. Some of the people that Hamas killed were not even Jewish, they were holiday makers. How is it ok for Hamas to say that they will utterly destroy every Jew in Israel? Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. Yes, I do feel stricken at the deaths of Palestinian civilians but when your Government is a terrorist government you suffer the consequences of the Government’s actions. As do the Russian people governed unwillingly in many cases by Putin.

    The situations of 2022 and 2023 really look similar in some parts. By the way, I must say, most of Russians (i can say it being a Russian and living in Russia) either stand with Palestine or take no side in the conflict. It can be just an anti-NATO act, though personally my thoughts are with the Palestinians suffering from the bombings and shellings. In 2017, I was both in Israel and on the Jordan West coast (counted to be Palestinian). These are just 2 different worlds.

    As a conservative, I obviously strongly disagree with your political stance on this matter, but I follow you for your music, which I have enjoyed since I found your channel, and will continue to.
    I already knew you were left leaning by the kinds of songs you sung, so your stance here is not surprising, so I won't be one of those weirdos who unsubscribes because of a disagreement. I still respect you as a person and still enjoy your content.

      why "as a conservative" do you think Israel has a right to commit attocities on the people of Gaza?

    • @jacobsnell6214
      @jacobsnell6214 Рік тому +5

      The IDF warned civilians to evacuate the areas they have been bombing. The U.S. would be doing something similar if the cartel was indiscriminately launching rockets into Texas and Arizona. There is always going to be collateral damage and that is an unfortunate reality, but Israel is fighting for their survival against an enemy who is hell bent on their destruction and this is the only choice they have. It may not seem like the right choice to someone looking from the outside who has never had to make a life and death decision, but this is their only option.

      @@sanyopoweraid1 do you know what "bad faith" means? That's what you're doing. Please stop.
      I could just as easily ask you "why do you think Hamas has the right to commit atrocities on the people of Israel?" If I did so, you would correctly be offended and say "I don't think that."
      My position is that the side which retaliates in defense against a massive terror attack has the moral high ground over the side who target innocent civilians, hide their bases under hospitals, and film and brag about the atrocities they do openly in the effort to commit genocide. And anyone who thinks otherwise is insane, deceived, or evil.
      Now, if you think Israel hasn't been careful enough to minimize civilian casualties while they target the enemy combatants, fair enough. But I'd like to hear a better suggestion than "warn the civilians days in advance the bases are about to be bombed, shut off utilities in those areas to incentivize moving, and provide a path out for civilians" because that's already what they're doing. Hamas actually tells their own civilians to stay so that they get killed when the bombing happens, which they can then use to tell the western media that Israel bombed civilians.
      Please tell me how Israel is supposed to fight terrorists who use their own civilians as a meat shield. And don't tell me "surrender" because they've already tried ceding large amounts of territory to Arab states, and that never worked; the Arab states will never stop short of complete Jewish annihilation, and have openly said as much on multiple occasions.

    I love your music, have shared some of it. Just one question: you say Gaza is a concentration camp. Gaza's southern border is not with Israel but with Egypt. Egypt could easily open the border and allow ANYTHING through - medicine, food, water, fuel, people... BUT THEY DON'T. Egyptian are Muslim and Arab, and they enforce on Gaza the same restrictions Israel does. WHY?

    • @sethstatonwatkins
      @sethstatonwatkins  Рік тому +12

      There were 20 trucks that made it through the Rafah crossing about 8 days ago. A drop in the ocean. But the roads inside Gaza leading to that border crossing were previously bombed by Israel and further strikes remain an open threat. Egypt's position is very clear, that the border has to be open for aid. However, Egypt understands that the goal of the Israeli army is to displace Palestinians and push them into Egyptian territory which could also lead to a push to move Palestinians from the West Bank into Jordan. Egypt is worried that if they let them in, they'll never be allowed to return, effectively relocating the Palestinian struggle against Israel from Gaza to Egypt. And that has happened repeatedly to Palestinians for generations. This is the textbook definition of ethnic cleansing. Forcefully moving populations of people out of one area and into another.
      Also, when that aid was allowed in, it was subsequently bombed by the Israeli military. 10 bakeries in the South of the Gaza strip, the so-called "safe zone" have been hit, and in Nuseirat refugee camp it was confirmed that immediately after a shipment of flour was unloaded by the UNRWA, it was bombed and completely destroyed. These civilians in Gaza have no fuel, food, electricity, or water coming in or out because Israel controls all of it. They are rationing what food they have and drinking rancid water. Healthcare workers are helpless without supplies and patients in hospitals that haven't already been bombed are dying from preventable disease and injuries sustained during bombardments that can't be properly treated. Children are getting limbs amputated without anesthesia. The only humane path forward is to demand an immediate ceasefire.

      @DavidKafri To suggest in any capacity that the English had the right to intentionally starve 1 million Irish and force another 2 million to leave their homes is depravity beyond measure. The same is true today. Instead of letting your bias lead you to such a ridiculous conclusion, you might try challenging that bias. You have some work to do my friend.

The Jews are trying to ethnically cleanse Gaza so they can move in, they want the people gone and it's a form of Genocide.
