The baby from Rafah, was named Ahmed Al-Najjar 🕊️💔
Oh I know and he was an absolutely beautiful baby. He was killed along with his sister and another brother I believe. His sister was a very intelligent beautiful young lady who had aspirations and goals that will never be fulfilled on this earth. Every child, everywhere, should be protected and given their best chance at a life well lived.
Truly tragic. And storing munitions at a camp full of civilians is truly idiotic, if not downright malicious.
It's tragic, I seen a video clip today of a Palestinian mum passing out upon hearing her child had been killed, it's heartbreaking. What makes these atrocities worse is that there are still people out in force defending it, or saying they're actors or deserve it. The western media are complicit as are the governments. If they told the truth and not the Israeli biased lies, more could be done to save innocent lives.
They can thank their dumb leaders for starting wars and using them as human shields. You know, kinda like Japanese civilians suffered because their dumb leaders attacked the US and joined the Nazis.
Thank you for condemning the genocide directly ❤.
How do you condemn a genocide that isn't happening?
If this is a Genocide (its not) explain to me how is it possible that since the 1990s, the number of Palestinians rose from 750.000 to 2,4 Million Palestinians, so where is this Genocide you keep claiming to happen? What about the fact that the Jewish population has decreased by 98% sine the 70s in Arab countries?
@@jeffreywilheim5970 you're a holocaust denier? cringe
@@jeffreywilheim5970shhh shhh shh Zionist propaganda..
@@jeffreywilheim5970 Are u that dumb?
respectfully, I find it extremely ignorant to call it a "war" as a Palestinian. A war is when both sides are on equal standing which this genocide clearly isn't. You can't over look 76 years of occupation and colonialism.
You're wrong. A war is a formal declaration of conflict. Period. On October 7th, Hamas INVADED Israel murdering, torturing, maiming, and raping over A THOUSAND of Israeli civilians and kidnapping hundreds more, including FOREIGNERS. Only a disturbingly intellectually challenged individual would claim that's not an act of war. Especially coming from a group that for nearly two decades has made it known that it wishes the obliteration of the state of Israel. So, give me an effing break. Are hamass supporters that stupid as to expect a piñata after what they did? Wow, just wow.....
Exactly that's what I've been telling people it's not a war if it is only from one side and that also for more than 75 years!!!!
Good point.
It is a rebellion by Palestinians against a BRUTAL OCCUPATION.
As a person born in "Israel" to a very zionist family I agree.
they thought me things that mislead me to think you guys are monsters. It took a lot of effort to realise the truth and their reasoning to lie to children here in the education system like that.
@@valm9462 kudos to you for realising the truth and be brave enough to stand out. We need people like you ❤️

Given the number of reporters of all stripes that have been taken down in the region by the IDF, I realize that we have been misled for a very long time on who the real victims are in this situation - and they are continuing to perpetuate it now - Good work Wes!
Doctors too. They target doctors 😭
@@Live4truth369Aid workers too
You do realize that in one year in the Syrian civil war, over 250 reporters were killed? Where is your outrage of that?
250 reporters were killed in one year covering the Syrian civil war, I didn’t see anybody commenting on that number, I wonder why? Also, reporters who go into conflicts like this know that they put their lives at risk. They are going to a war zone, not a peace zone.
no one has

Thank you so much, Wes. I, too, have traveled to the West Bank and, like you, am daily heartbroken by the violence there and in Gaza. Your videos do make a difference! They have given me something to share with others when we talk about the conflict. Your videos help us engage with real people whose lives are impacted by the occupation. For the many of us who yearn so deeply for a just and lasting peace, your videos are a reminder that we are not alone. Again, thank you for your honesty, your compassion, and your work. Wishing peace to you and to our broken world.
I saw those videos of Palestine and I enjoyed them very much, I learned a lot from them, what lovely people they are. I am very angry that nobody is stopping the war. I like the way you think and the questions you have when you travel.
I am angry that hamas refuses to surrender. All these deaths could have been averted had hamass returned the hostages and surrendered. Instead, they hide themselves or their tunnels from schools, hospitals, etc., and even shoot at their own civilians trying to flee. Also, keep in mind, that hamass t3rror1sts have no shortage of shelter, food, medicine, or wifi for that matter, inside their tunnels. So, instead of accusing Israel, the world should be asking hamass why they're not sheltering their people in their tunnels. But we know, why, it's so that they die and they can then blame Israel and have useful idiots around the world agree, smh
1. Zio nist has been planning for ethnic cleansing of palestinian years before 1948. Even before israel was created and the land known as palestine.
Whether palestinian agreed or not with 2 state solution. They were gonna being ethnic cleansed anyway.
I paste to you summary of that ethnic cleansing plan below:
In the summer of 1937, according to the official history of the Haganah, the commander of their forces in the Tel Aviv area, Elimelech Slikowitz ("Avnir") received an order from Ben-Gurion. Ben-Gurion, anticipating an eventual British withdrawal from the country after the Peel Report, asked Slikowitz to prepare a plan for the military conquest of the whole of Palestine. According to the historians Walid Khalidi and Ahmad H. Sa'di, it was this Avnir Plan which provided a blueprint for future plans. The blueprint was refined in subsequent adjustments (A, B, C) before emerging in its final form over a decade later as Plan Dalet.[11][12]
From 1945 onward, the Haganah designed four general military plans, the implementation of the final version of which eventually led to the creation of Israel and the dispossession of the Palestinians:
Plan Aleph (Plan A), drawn up in February 1945 to complement the political aim of a unilateral declaration of independence. It was designed to suppress Palestinian Arab resistance to the Zio nist take-over of parts of Palestine.[14]
Plan Bet (Plan B), produced in September 1945,[15] emerged in May 1947 and was designed to replace Plan Aleph in the context of new developments such as Britain's submission of the problem of Palestine to the United Nations and growing opposition from surrounding Arab states to the Zionist partition plan.[citation needed]
Plan Gimel (Plan C), also known as "May Plan", produced in May 1946,[16] emerged in November/December 1947, in the wake of the UN Partition Plan. It was designed to enhance Zio nist military and police mobilisation and enable action as needed.[dubious - discuss][17][18][19]
Plan Dalet (Plan D), of March 1948, is the most noteworthy. Guided by a series of specific operational plans, the broad outlines of which were considered as early as 1944, Plan Dalet was drawn up to expand Jewish-held areas beyond those allocated to the proposed Jewish State in the UN Partition Plan. Its overall objective was to seize as much territory as possible[dubious - discuss] in advance of the termination of the British Mandate-when the Zio nist leaders planned to declare their state.[18][19]
2. Israel never accept the border of UN resolution for creation of israel. It only accept the creation of it. Zio nist never agreed on 2 state solution. Netanyahu said it clearly. They never want two state solution, netanyahu only repeating the mantra tt has been loudly said by all zio nist leaders since ben gurion.
3. Palestinian dont start the war.. but genocide and massacres inflicted on them months before the creation of israel such as massacres of qisarya and many more massacres that started the war after the neighbours intervened. The massacres of tantura, jaffa, haifa which located on the seaside got nothing to do with frontline of the war. The massacres of qisarya, lifta, lubya, haifa tantura, der yassein and many more were only a result of planned ethnic cleansing.. it got nothing to do with frontline of the war.
4. An article published by national geographic 2020 about a study on dna of ancient cananites tombs show that the ancient dna still alive in modern day palestinian. So the contemporary zionist slogan tt was used to justify the killing and dehumanized palestinian as savage arabian from arab peninsula were just an evil liar concocted by zionist.. as what other lies they made.
The study titled “ The Genomic History of the Bronze Age Southern Levant” by Cell.
The study excluded Askenazi and Ethiopian jewish from a control group because of more than 40% ancient european dna in Askenazi while more than 80% west african dna in Ethiopian.
No research even by zionist could ever manipulated of fact tt dna of askenazi show of ancient european origin.
5. Palestinian were the descendant of the ancient hebrew. Not jewish settler from ukraine or poland. Not the recent convert of subbotnik from russia. The thousand years of jewish hebrew history on the land got nothing to do with settlers from europe. What are the evidences of settler from europes are the descendant of israelite? Artefacts? Historical facts? Dna? We dont have any historical fact of arrival of israelite in ukraine.. none
By the way.. the cananites has been living on the land thousands years before emergence of a tribe called israelite.
6. A study on geographical dna of askenazi jews by Eran Elhaik 2017 show that the askenazi were the people of from slav, turkic, irano. Not palestine. The study using the Geographical Population Structure (GPS), which localizes genomes to where they experienced the last major admixture event. Nothing semitic about askenazi. They were just impostor
7. Mass arrival of juice settler also consist of russian recent convert of sobutnik. The sobutnik tt settled around galillee become the staunch supporter of zionist and the main force of ethnic cleansing machine
8. European jews speak yiddish. While russsian speak russian. They dont speak hebrew. Yiddish originated from area of ancient trade route of irano-turkic-slav. There were no evidence to show tt Ithe askenazi were expelled by roman move from italy all the way crossing the alps into germany, poland , and ukraine. Their language surely influenced by italian. The truth was that they were the people that originated along iran, turk, and slav route.
9. Based on all those points above. I could conclude tt israel zionist were just bunch evil impostor. Their country were created based on lies , created based on on genocide, ethnic cleansing, occupation and oppression on palestinian for more than 75 years

@@saehisayaso you want him to lie and spread misinformation to the Japanese people?
@@jewtang610 where is the lie in what he said?
@@roralynThere's no genocide, but the lowest civilian to hostile target ratio of any war.
Israeli settlements are not built on Palestinian villages, and NO Palestinians left their homes because of settlements (name one settlement that displaced Palestinians, not including the 1948 war that they started and in which they left at the request of THEIR Arab leaders).
The Palestinians never accepted any offer for a 2 state solution for the past 100 years.
Israel is not blocking the Palestinians in the territories more than Arab countries: why don't they cross to work in Egypt or Jordan? Why don't Egypt allow them to cross from Gaza?
I can go on, but I think this will do...
Your video just popped up on my YT, I am so glad I found you Wes, you are a fine young Japanese man. Your video is like a fresh breath of air because of your calm tone of voice, talking about devastating and heart wrenching situation in Palestine.
I too still believe that there are many good hearted Jews in Israel who don't agree with the violent, but they cannot speak up freely.
Never stop talking about Palestine 🇵🇸 and you've got yourself a new subscriber from Indonesia 🇲🇨🙏🏼
Keep up the good work and spirit 💪🏼💪🏼
You're not being emotional brother, you're human. Unfortunately some people have let go of their humanity in current times.
My family emmigrated from Palestine to Colombia after the Nakba. They were displaced from Palestine and they were never able to return to their home because they had U.N passports. We will never forget and we won't let our history be erased. I do think what Hamas diD in Oct 7th was wrong but somehow I suspect Israel planned this because they changed the location of the music festival last minute.. that was very sketchy and weird. I think corruption is the mother of all wars. Plus ignorance and fear... I appreaciate you doing this and taking your time to educate people about this issue! Much love from Colombia!
All of the Jews forced out of their Arab countries of origin have no right of return to those countries: Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Egypt etc. Every single one of them is Juden-frei. There are many Palestinians who stayed in Israel and became Israeli citizens and didn't lose their land or their home. So, it wasn't ALL Palestinians who were expelled. While I empathize with the specifics of your family situation, it is the SAME situation every Jew in every Arab country faced.
@@kikiriki8742 I'm sure you're aware this is not a religion problem. So stop using the victim card because it expire a long time ago! The problem is zionism and colonialism. Israel, the U.S, U.K and all the internacional allies, want the natural gas and oil of those land. It's not about religion. People from Palestine living in Israel who are very gew are treated as terrorists. Israel is a fasist state and a state created with the blood of millions of Palestinians. Everyone deserves to live in Peace, I don't understand why they feel they have the right to eliminate an entire country and culture by commiting genocide in order to exist?

@@jeffreywilheim5970some people are blind
@@jeffreywilheim5970How is there a genocide not occurring?
Genocide is when a population is decreased. Which is not happening
This quote is from The Times of Israel, who are sometimes surprisingly more honest than American mainstream media:
"According to various reports, Netanyahu made a similar point at a Likud faction meeting in early 2019, when he was quoted as saying that those who oppose a Palestinian state should support the transfer of funds to Gaza, because maintaining the separation between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza would prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state."
cool, how about that genocide they are much less honest about? Also, Netanyahu is partially responsible, in a direct way, for the terrorist attacks that he now uses for his reasoning to slaughtering way more civilians than what happened to them. Now go ahead and call me antisemitic or whatever.
American media is full of shit. Israeli hebrew media is much more honest.

You have a clear perspective and is so valuable. thank you for speaking for peace. You clearly respect equal human rights for all. Thanks for Spreading awareness with your platform 🙏
Hello Wes!! As a person who watched your Israel & Palestine video about 4 years ago as part of my quest to seek more insight on the ongoing conflict then, I am so very grateful and delighted to watch a new video of you addressing this conflict with a clean, clear, unbiased views of it. And when the video went dark (while I was also in a dark room, before bed), that important message you decided to add into the video about how sickeningly biased the reaction was when there was actual picture of the beheaded baby vs rumours which as we now found out, not true, along with the r4p3 claims. Anyway.. I really wanted to share my gratitude to you for this video. It shows your sincerity in seeking truth for justice and peace. And now add Courage to that. Your videos of the trip, for sure, will enlighten the minds of those who truly seek to understand how peace is possible there. Bless you, Wes.
Great Journalism Wes! Keep speaking up!
Your English is so clean and is so cool to listen to!!

Thank you so much for the video and for spreading awareness. Coming from Germany, one of Israels biggest allies and weapon suppliers besides the USA, it's a shame to see that. I've watched many other different videos and read about that topic to get a better understanding about what's going on. And now that I'm better informed, I feel so sad and devastated seeing these images while listening to people justifying it with their basic repertoire of "arguments", repeating it over and over, which leads to nothing. Or listening to people, as you already said, who aren't informed at all, but still take their time to have an opinion and saying it out loud whenever they can. It's a shame to be german after it was a shame for decades now. So nothing changed, but at least in the past I could say it wasn't me who harmed anyone. It doesn't feel right to me to say this any more.
You're doing a great job.
Don't be afraid to be called an antisemite now just for speaking the truth. All Germans must get over it. You weren't the perpetrators of the Holocaust, you aren't pursuing any ethnic or religious group nowadays. And it has been like that for decades. It's an important part of your history but it wasn't your fault. We all must unite to stop the delusions of the Zionist groups and for peace around the world. If they try to make us look like the bad guys, we must stand tall. The future of the innocent people of Palestine and Israel depends on that.
Thank you.

Every voice resisting injustice is vital! Thank you for sharing yours.
It's NOT a conflict; it's an illegal occupation of a people's land. It's NOT a war; it's an assault by an occupying power on unarmed and oppressed civilians. Under international law, armed resistance is allowed. Therefore the claim of self-defense is false.
Thank you for your visit and sharing the reality on land free Palestine 🇵🇸
Thank you for your objectivity. I appreciate your comments, especially about the image of Palestinians popularized. I love your work.❤
8:50 I understand this frustration too. What you can do and are achieving is informing people that still try to figure out what is going, who are curious and open minded. It takes a lot of energy to change the thoughts of people who's believes are set in stone. You should not use your precious energy for that. You are already doing a good thing reassuring those who are still trying to figure things out. I myself have been in Palestine (2012), also in Gaza and yet because of the media and the politics in my country I still need reassurance sometimes.
I appreciate the research to both sides of the conflict as well as your observations as a third party visitor. I appreciate this kind of video and reporting and the courage it takes to upload such content. From what I see a measured account with care for international law.
I am glad you shared a first hand experience and genuine thoughts and feelings. Over decades Gaza has always suffered much more than the west Bank so reality is worse than what you saw

I think you are blessed for taking your time and sharing your experiences on the genocide that is happening in real-time in Gaza, and what Israel has been doing to the Palestine people is sickening. And you are right; it is extraordinary how many of the West have stood there and done nothing. There is no war, only a slaughter of civilians.
Thank you Wes but I don't think you should call it a war. One side has the latest weapons and the other side has no army, navy or airforce.
yah maybe if they had not built tunnels and hiding spots under places like schools hospitals playgounds instead of what they were supposed to do things might be diff.
The side with no proper army has terrorists armed to their teeth by a recognized terrorist organization known as hezbollah and a pariah state known as Iran.
@@mindlessmotion5864 Exactly! Glad to see a grain of sanity amidst the cesspool responses supporting hamass on this thread.
1.5 percent gone after 7 months of war is not genocide. I'm tired of hearing these takes.
You are 109% correct.
You mentioned religion. The issue isnt religion: Jews & arabs have been living together for centuries in peace.
Judaism isnt rhe problem, Zionism is the problem.
Zionism , starting around z1880, is a political philosophy that stresses Jewish superiority and an exclusive right to own & control Palestine. Zionism has used terrorism drom its very inceprion ro try and meet its political goals., All rhe abuse and cruelty you witnessed during your travels in Palestine & rhe illegal sertlements & military occupation over the past 56-75 years has resulted from Zionism. Israel itself is a Zionist project.
As much as Zionist try ro conflate rhe two terms , Judaism is not Zionism.
What we see in Gaza today is a direct result of Zionism. This issue did not start with Hamas and it did not start on 7 October.
Jews didn't live in peace they were at the best a second class citizens but most were massacred (depending on the strength and percentage of population that are Islamic)

There's a whole documentary interviewing Israelis who committed these acts and they are literally laughing and joking about it. Utterly twisted evil.
Thank you for addressing this. It's always helpful when people outside of Israel or America bring up this issue.
Thanks for adding your perspective to this conversation. The world needs to see what's happening on the ground.
I think you are confusing what is war and what is not ¿? You failed to understand that this war didn’t start yesterday. It’s just a continuation of a war that some people don’t accept defeat.
Saying Israel - Hamas war is just like saying Nazi-Jewish war in ww2
Thank you for the work you do and for your ability to speak objectively regardless of what others may think
thank you, Wes for your brilliant video. You've presented what I feel, in my opinion, a simple, but balanced take on the issue and you've preached the message of how important it is to also see both sides of the coin. Hopefully your video would be widely viewed and people can open their eyes and minds, to learn and talk about the conflict and who knows, in the long run, may lead to more peaceful dialogue between both Israelis and Palestinians.
great video! i wish you also recognized palestine’s right to resist instead of calling hamas a terrorist group
And you need to recognize Israels right to defend!
And what is Hamas? A charity? Besides, did you actually watch the video? I don't understand your first concern otherwise
@@garagekeys Occupation do not have the right of self defence in international law.
@@nuttcase1uk and palestine doesn't exist! 🇺🇲❤️🇮🇱
@@garagekeys well, not if you recognize and acknowledge that the UN recognizes Israel as the occupying entity.
Thank you for your time invested in analyasing the situation more deeply.
Thank you. You are an amazing human being. I have friends close to Rafah. It's a horrible situation. It has to stop.
I went there in August 2023, and prior to my visit there I had watched all your israel-palestine visits. I witnessed unfair treatments on palestinians, I felt so sorry they had to go through the real eveyday holocaust. Free palestine 🇵🇸✊
Did you meet with alive Arab LGBTQ people in the Gaza strip?)
@@marina12345678911000 what we all know is the terrorist state of israel is constantly massacring civilians, women, children and babies.
Comparing this to the holocaust is such a bad take. 1.5 percent gone in 7 months. Versus 60% of the Jewish population gone after WWII in a systematic, calculated way. Bro the IDF tells them to run, and gives aid.
Sure missed you!!
Thank you. May God bless you and your family.
Thank you✊☮️❤️

パレスチナ人として、本当にありがとうございました。❤
Keep being honest and open-minded.
Such a great, informative video. Very well put. You did an amazing job portraying the situation and making very clear cut and solid statements. No dancing around the topic. Respect, brother. Thank you.
And I feel you with the algorithm thing. Yeah this video (and the others) might not reach people who actually need to learn about it. But I want to do all we can. Even I, a person who has no social media presence, have promised to never stop talking about it. And I hope you will do so as well.
I'll share your vids and even if one new person finds it, I'll take that win. Keep doing what you do best. Show what you see. People will recognise that. Take love
God bless you!! Thank you for speaking up ❤❤
Thanks for speaking wisely and truthfully. Many of us need to learn more and seeing pictures is valuable
As an Arab and muslim, i really want to thank you
You did good by speaking up. It is okay to have an opinion and put yourself in the others shoes (or sandals). One of the reasons for this issue not being resolved in the last 76 years was the insistence that its to complicated to be discussed.
Singaporean here says FREE PALESTINE 😭😭🇵🇸🍉 thank you for revealing the truth, Wes. we appreciate your great effort put into explaining this genocide.
I appreciate that you’ve made this video. It’s a valuable contribution to the discourse about the genocide being committed by the Israel/Netenyahu government against Palestinians. Everyone with any sense could see what was going to happen to the people of Gaza as soon as Gallant declared that the IDF would use siege tactics and cut off the basic necessities for human life.
I’m ashamed that my country is backing this murderous campaign.
Please keep speaking up about this. It is important, and valued.
Good to see you again Wes❤
thank you for standing on the right side of history
thank you brother for speaking the truth. we all simply want peace ❤
If you support Hamas (which most people who comment on this channel seem to support) then you do not support peace.
This was very informative and even handed commentary of this situation and your travel there, hope to see more videos in the future Wes🙏
God bless you Wes. Thank you for sharing your experience
You are a good human
❤🇵🇸
You need to make japanese video for the japanese people can see what's happening.
Thank you for being humane❤
Great work!!
No matter how much "impact" your work has. To be honest I think it just makes people happy and give them hope that "foreigners" start to understand the Situation and here in Germany we have the same problem that the People think Palestinians are all terrorists. Its so helpful to have people like you, who are not arab or muslin in any way and share an opinion from a different view, so we can show them your videos and tell them look that is how it REALLY is.
If we would show them a video of an arab, who shares his experiences in the West Bank, it is all talked down to "fake". I think your Work has impact and open the eyes of some few. These few open the eyes of other fews and it will be an enourmous impact after a while!! Keep up your work!
Thanks for posting this Wes. I've never been more ashamed to be an American than I am right now.
You should research about Islam and understand the reason why USA is against Islamic occupation
@@User9681e Very ignorant comment. America's foreign policy is all about power and how to keep America being the lone superpower in the world as long as possible.
If you think Islam in dangerous, go do some actual studies how many people has been killed since WW2 by America. And we can compare the numbers on both sides.
@@bl1204 Islam even at certain times in history with its massacres even reduced the population but numbers mean nothing it's the intention
USA looks for trade , growth and governments that dont oppress the civilians or the market
and Islam well it's pretty easy to open sunnah and see their intentions
