    • @charminxtra226

      Not really. In these kinds of conflicts, both parties are wrong. Just because one side shot first doesn't make retaliation by the other side right, and even bringing up the history to try to find a starting point for someone to blame is nothing but trying to justify unjustifiable violence. It doesn't matter who shot first, or second or third or fourth. The only thing that matters is who's shooting next. It's like the bloods vs crips. It doesn't matter whether it started with a blood killing a crip or a crip killing a blood, and they both use their insistence that the other side started it as an illegitimate excuse to continue retaliating, and I've never met a third party or seen arguments online about which of them is right or wrong. At some point both sides need to just realize that their retaliations are really just causing the future violence against their own and are therefore hurting themselves. The only difference is if one side flat out refuses legitimate offers of peace from the other side and continues to take the offensive against another side that only takes the defensive.

      As mentioned in Obama's memoir, A Promised Land, the UN declared Jerusalem a region no states could occupy. Yet, gradually over the decades, Israel insidiously expanded resettlement in that area... occupying more real estate from the Palestinians to breach the status quo set by the UN. Obama sympathizes with the historical plight of Jews. However, the former 44th POTUS frowns upon the Israeli forces' advancement in military weapons to dominate and bully the neighboring Arab people.

      2. You are right, let's look at who's dead, if a Palestinian in Gaza who's a member of the Hamas dies while going to set a missile he should not be counted like you count innocent casualties
      3.. 6, and this is true, 6 of the children dead are dead due to one of the terror groups (Islamic Juhad Group) shooting missiles that fell short and hit Gazans!!!
      4. As one who got into Gaza I can tell you, I've seen rocket launcher next to houses, schools, hospitals. the Hamas does not care about the life of Palestinians because they know you'll twist it into a non simetric causalities count

    Funny enough earlier this week, I was thinking about Trevor and what he would say about the current horrific aggressions from Israel.
    I'm glad to hear his analogy after watching the Bassem Yousef-Piers Morgan interview where Piers - stuck on the events of October 7 - admits to a "moral quandary" about what Israel's response should be to the gruesome events of October 7 (frustratingly, without ever seeming to truly understand the conditions that caused it to come about)
    It's refreshing to hear someone of Trevor's intellectual calibre present this in a way that makes total sense.

    Thanks again to Jon Stewart without whom we might never have had a chance to see Trevor blossom forth in all his glory... Seven years ago he said "trust me, this guy has ALL the talents to be more than just a comedian, he will be such a great influencer and social commentator you will forget all about me".
    We haven't forgotten Jon, but Trevor has been everything we needed and more. He has risen to meet the moment for so many serious political occasions that he has silenced all his critics and finds himself in the very top tier of comedians who can also give us the hard truth when necessary.
    We knew he was intelligent but the ability to understand complex issues and deliver this level of analysis is a rare gift that separates him from the "light entertainment" late night guys and will give him decades at the top of the sociopolitical comedy game (if he wants it).
    Thanks for being you, Trevor. There's no one else like you. Your voice is desperately needed in these strange and troubling times!!!

      Yea. I keep looking at the 1947 map that has the outline of Israel, but says Palestine as clear as day. And then I go read about this Balfour agreement where the very white very racist at the time UN gave the land to Israel and I think I can see the nature of the problem. Palestine never agreed. They've never ceded this conquest. The west has armed Israel to keep them there.
      Now I gotta read what our strategic interest is. Looking at a map, I predict it's the suez canal.
      Does the suez become any less vital in a world not powered by oil? Does dragging the world into a big old fight distract it from getting off oil? Who benefits from that? Are any of those parties that would benefit, the ones funding hamas?

Going to music festivals is against Islam. So Israel must be destroyed. Why is it so difficult to say. Why are Muslims moving to Europe and the USA and refuse to assimilate and accept western lifestyle? Oh I know the answer. Infidels.

      Influencers rarely or even at all talk about international politics. Of the few that do, way too many are paid to promote a view and are literally spreading propaganda. There are however a number of independent political shows that do talk about it and only the ones that align towards the left have an anywhere near correct view on the matter. Basically, all the mainstream outlets and more moderate Democrat-aligned outlets have a too Israel-centric view on the matter. Mostly "Israel has a right to defend itself" or trying to do both side-ism without even mentioning the power disparity between the two. I was genuinely surprised to see Trevor present a fair and more accurate view though considering that Trevor grew up in a society that treated blacks just as the Israeli government is treating the Palestinians it might not be so suprising.

      Actually I think he largely missed, and potentially offensively so. Full disclosure, I am an Israeli. The major point in my perspective is not who is the most powerful, because both sides strive for dominance in a way. Only one side is incredibly more successful at it (I would add that it is due to it's willingness to compromise and it's show of compassion and regard for human rights, but that is a different issue). The point should be the end of armed and violent conflict. And for that the question of proportionality in power is irrelevant, because even a weak actor can create incredible violent destruction. The real issue is who is the aggressor, or initiator of violence.

And as long as the illegal settlements exist and are even expanded then it never will be. The first step should be taken by Israel to remove these settlements unilaterally. Then a just peace is achievable. I know, the counter to that is that Hamas will never accept the existence of an Israeli state. Yes, they will. Or at least the people who voted them into office through sheer desperation will accept it, once they see it is actually possible. And if this concession by the far mightier power at this stage in the conflict doesn't secure a reasonable response by the Palestinians then Israel will be able to take everything back and no one would bat an eye on the world stage. Because everyone could see that at least Israel had made a just concession to achieve a just solution.
