US General Petraeus: Israel's war on Gaza to last for ‘months, not weeks’ | The Bottom Line
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2024
- Israel has not explained what it seeks to accomplish in its war on Gaza beyond the destruction of Hamas, according to US General David Petraeus, the former director of the CIA and former commander of US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Petraeus tells host Steve Clemons that the US has no choice but to remain a “steadfast ally” of Israel, lest China and other countries point to Washington’s abandonment of its friends.
In this wide-ranging conversation, the former CENTCOM commander added that “there are no hands going up in the region” to volunteer to manage Gaza after the war.

The fact he ignored the question about children and women being killed tells me all i need to know about him
3 minutes is more than enough to recognise hypocrisy in this video.
not just him, it's the US regime
This guy is a war criminal.. what do you expect
He's a known war monger and a soulless war criminal.
This is the guy who murdered millions in iraque and afghanistan. What would you expect of him.
This former CIA guy is the butcher of Baghdad and the legendary weapons of mass destruction guy.
Yes, but at least he's taking a break from giving state secrets to his mistress.
You forgot about the other one. Collected Power or Collin Power.
Yes it is all spin.
In 100 years time, Gaza will be showcased by the israeli government as a premier zionist settlement for jews only.
Mind Begs the Question:
- Israel Schools,Hospitals,Synagogues
- Fair,Lawful to bomb by Iraq
- For Israelis voting a Govt
- Who misinformed on WMD/Nuke?
This guy should not have any airtime discussing about this particular issue. He is responsible for the millions of deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. We all know where he stands!
Precisely, he wastes valuable airtime rambling nonsense.
Doesnt he know that,, Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, a former military governor in Gaza.
Segev reportedly stated his part in financially aiding the Palestinian Islamist movement, viewing it as a "counterweight" to the secularist Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat (who himself referred to Hamas as "a creature of Israel.")
"The Israeli government gave me a budget," Segev confessed to a New York Times reporter, "and the military government gives to the mosques."
The idea is to add another stooge in the middle eastern countries to be Israeli errand boy and does the bidding for US,of course the fat big belly Arab sheikh will be glad with another idiot joining the harem
Millions of deaths in Iraq and Afganastan, most of which were premature newborn babies and people with worms coming out of their wounds, or even worse! Oh my!
Notice how he talks about Iraq as a success. ..."like we did in falluja.. rebuild...having a plan...progress....we got it going.."
Tore down Iraq and now they're giving advice on "the right way" to tear down gaza
Vile
Completely ignores the the question on the children women dying in Gaza.
He cheated on his wife. Do you think he cares about women or children. Same goes for 75% of men in the USA. Integrity men.
He is an american. What can you expect from him
The gazans children's are not only the children's who this face with blue tie and white t-shirt (as israhellis flags is) is happy for him to be happy.
what about children being used as shield by hamas and tunnels in hospital and mosques?
all I hear is Hamas and how he wants to destroy Hamas they are not the one the terrorist is the Zionist state of Israel and America the blood on your hand as well
This guy used the words “population control” amidst a genocide from the people doing the genocide. This is a ghoulish conversation.
No compassion what so ever!
Al jazeera is used to having yes man for interviews.
Thank you. I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who was mortified by those words. I had to stop listening to this in the entirety as he was completely creeping me out. I suppose you have to be capable of killing to be a part of the American war machine/industry. Yet the coldness is chilling. I know that even in the war in mid heaven as written of in the NT, a seriousness, not joy, of what is having to be done, a determination and knowledge that Christ and His army will prevail, will still be fought with the protection of the saints of heaven in the forefront of our hearts.
Not revenge, not bloodlust and with zero innocents being cast down.
Well, of course he does. He got paid by Pissrael to speak lies
"genocide" is propaganda and you eat up without question.
End the occupation.
YEP!
@@adriennebraxton-oq9iuYep..restoration of ALL lands to the Palestinians and Palestine to receive the same amount of dollars that the bombers of Gaza has received, backdated..
Which one? The IDF left in 2005 if memory serves...
Why is Israel allowed an army to protect them but Palestine is not, and Israel with its big army and protection could not protect its own people?
👌
What a golden set of words.. " Why Israel is allowed an army to protect them but Palestine is not" , i will use it with your permission
Think about it fool.
isreal doesnt protect isreal america protects isreal with all the weapons they get from them
an army is created with resources and people who decide to serve no one else allows this to happen, it is a responsibility of a nation to create its defense force, your question is fundamentally wrong...I would ask, why did palestinians not create a capable military?...they had resources and they had people willing to serve...it was political decissions to keep them as refugees without protection, by its own leaders
Is this the same American General who lost the Afghan war to goat herders?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s him general betrayus
Goat herders ... and mujahedeen, who drove the Soviet s and the Americans from their country. Don't be so arrogant.
They knew it from the beginning... winning was not in their plans... making a mess and keeping the war industry running was the plan
Yep
And his CIA job due to looking/ climbing up the wrong skirt
Not goat herders ... Mujahedeen.. but yes, he couldn't finish the Taliban but says Israel must finish Hamas as if we don't remember anything
This man should be sent jail along with Netinyahu
Nobody has a right to rule Palestine except the Palestinians under a true Palestinian leadership. A leader who is God fearing, accountable & capable of serving their people with honesty and not with corruption. That's it! ❤
You mean terrorist Hamas 😅
We can tell that you ate not very smart. First off there is no Palestinian. Prior to the 67 and 73 wars where Egypt attacked Israel everyone that is in the gaza refugee area were Egyptian citizens. The people who live in gaza are refugees from Egypt that Israel let settle on there land. When you are a refugee you do not attack your host country or its citizens.
Good luck finding that, quick questions, are their any democratic governments in TBS Middle East ?
So why do you expect that to work In Palestinian Territories?
Nobody from the outside can impose anyone to lead the Palestinians but the people of Palestine
@@user-jy8vm1xz8x they are Egyptian refugees living on Israeli land.
It doesn't get any worse, at 20:12, he quotes Madeleine Albright, The former US Secretary of State, who once publicly admitted that she thinks the deaths of half a million Iraqi children were 'worth it', was no force for 'democracy and human rights'.
Not even Usama bin Laden had the guts to say that. Absolutely despicable answer by Madeline Albright (the surname tells you her lineage).
She’s also joooesh
@@rhetoric5173you can leave that out of it. Neolibs come in all shapes, sizes and types
The ex Obama adviser on the news was her aide and he was also like her, as most neo cs @@aaronkochenrath5863
he quotes albright saying america is "indispensable"
only indispensable for israel
has zero credibility in the wider world
usa has clearly been 100% captured by the zionist mafia
never saw a more pathetic sight in my whole life
joe biden saying "we're the most powerful nation in the history of the world"
beaten and humiliated by vietnamese rice farmers
beaten and humiliated by afghani goat herders
this idiot petraeus was adamant that ukraine would drive the russians out with their counteroffensive
how's *that* working out for ya
this man is a complete fool, blinding idiot
amazing that anyone interviews him
Israel certainly isn't reconcilable. I think it's clear Israel has never intended for there to be a Palestinian state.
In 100 years time, Gaza will be showcased by the israeli government as a premier zionist settlement for jews only.
This guy is like others have blood of innocent lives in their hands, who committed crimes against humanity
There are no innocent in war.
As does al Jazeera for having him and people like him on The news anchors come across to me just like the BBC anchors in their affect and appearance to me ,as do the studios. This is truly despicable, and Im not even Muslim !
@@user-fx5fe2ft9zThat is categorically false.
I mam a Canadian not American btw if that makes any difference to people on this thread,Im just curious, very much against Trudeaus policies' though
Stop occupation.
Everyone seems to talk about October 7 prisoners and no one talks about the 15,000 little boys little girls women children of all ages held by Israel in prison and being tortured just for being Palestinian. When are we gonna talk about the freedom of those prisoners
Not prisoners, they were kidnapped and are hostages
Israel has been terrorizing Palestinians for years and here is one trying to cover up for genocide and still supports them.
Imagine someone throwing a shoe towards you. Well, you would be mad. Now, imagine somebody throwing a handfull stone at a soldier. This person ends up in jail.
EXACTLY! Prior to 07 October, and after, EVERYDAY has been October 07 for Palestinians courtesy of Israel and its Western friends. Israel only have ONE.
Yes you are right ✅️.
Fact: Petraeus was the US top Commander in the US’s longest, most expensive and most unsuccessful war.
His ideas are the same 🤯 nothing but generating income for US and Israel and who knows who. War at the expense of Palestinian citizens. 😞
😂😅😅😅😅
You forgot uneccessary
dude, it's an apartheid state. Are you clueless...
Clueless and arrogant!
He's more than clueless. He's brain dead.
He's worse than clueless, he's acting as a propagandist and is responsible for the illegal wars of aggression the US waged on Iraq and Afghanistan.
The choice of a motive language when describing the attack by Hamas, verses the indiscriminate bombing campaign by Israel is striking if you actually pay attention to it. One of them is described as horrific barbaric and unspeakable (Which it was), the other is described as the unfortunate loss of innocent lives. but let me be clear, The blockade of essential resources , the herding of a million plus people as if they were cattle , and the massively disproportionate loss of civilians is barbaric and unspeakably horrific. The lack of consistency in his use of language is telling. ps. His cynical use of the phrase winning hearts and minds purely as if it offered strategic value was really gross. This is not a good man.
V well said.....i think we de public have n are starting 2 understand de game of words dez guys play......
I think you're too harsh on Hamas given the amount of straight up false propaganda accusing them of things they did not do, and the revelation of how many Israelis we're short or incinerated from the air by the Israeli military.
In this days and age, many young peoples have been aware with this type of wording, they are no longer buying everything they said in this issue. I watched videos,, Director think tank US said Israel-Palestine conflict no longer issue of Left and right but Old and young thats according gallup polling..
He is not good man, he is cynical rep of USA military elites 🤔
a lop sided view is called Al Jazeera speak, check Wikipedia on this
What a waste of an interview, asking an American general how to resolve this issue, 20 years in Afghanistan and we know what happened, they got chased out.
That is a problem when you do not want to hear disparate views. Nothing changes.
If Hama's action is barbaric, what is Isreal? who has now done far worse
Should be called ‘iZreal’‼️
75 years of an Apartheid government abusing a child makes that child grow up to be an Hamas adult in pain and trauma!
100% but he did admit that after the mistake in Iraq
its seems he's a friend of AIPAC too
This idiot lost the war in Afghanistan by poor Afghanistanian
Look how stupid this general
I thought that the General was charged in the Hague with his crime of genocide in Iraq
People like him is the detriment to American respect and honor in the world. From year 1953 to 2023 American respect and honor has gone down exponentially.
Israel & the US are top of the charts as the world's most arrogant & disrespctful followed closely by the next top colonizers
Israel ha shown itself to be an extremist army too
Understatement
General Iraq is never the same, what rebuilding?.....
China did more rebuilding in Iraq with its 2 year long 1000 schools program than the US ever did during its decade long occupation.

In a world of justice, he should be behind the bars and not advising the same he did to millions civilians
Stop the lies, for heaven's sake. STOP. You are nothing, but as they would say, shenzi in swahili.
America always far away from reality.
Please, no one has time for these lengthy analogies by persons we dont care about. What are the Action Plans to stop the genocide is all we want to know.
Another chapter of absolute disgrace in the history books for Crusader David.
Who is going to pay for the reconstruction let alone compensation for loss of lives?
The people who supported the destruction
start from how gaza city came to be open air prison and refugees camps. They were forced to leave their home when israel was impose on them by US using United Nations on 1948
Will they not loose like this Guy lost in Afghanistan?
I was expecting a little better journalist question from Al jazeera. This interview is exactly as the one we see in CNN, ABC,etc. zero questioning to a guy who screwed in iraq and Afghanistan. I guess The Emir was better adviced by the state department.
But I guess that is better to obey than to be depose.
This man also a big liar and zionist.
I think AJ is barely hanging there on UA-cam, ready to be banned every minute 😟
You're exactly right. Look up the news story from a few weeks ago: Blinken tells Al Jazeera to "turn down the volume" on Gaza coverage.
It wasn't an interview it was a book promo exercise
Israel is losing too many men and machinery, this must be putting pressure on Bibi. The international community is sick of no proof of Hamas bases.
This has been a huge mistake by Israel they are bogged down and will not be able to complete their mission without unacceptable losses.
This guest has just discounted what the rest of the world is saying.
This is not 1992 and it is not Iraq.
👍😎
How many Israeli deaths have there been since October 7 ?please cite credible sources only.
What did you drink to be so blinded? Every word you write the complete oposite of truth. Amazing
Three or four tanks and 70 soldiers dead during one month; invasion and taking million populated city.
That is unacceptable losses?
@@iosebchikvashvili1864 For a society like Israel it would constitute a huge loss amoung its citizens.
This monster take human life in Afghanistan and Iraq, now you ask him
Leaders of the western world!! lol
NOT ACCEPTABLE!!
- the guy's useless.
It’s gon go from Months, till Years because this issue has been happening for well over 75years now
All muslim countries should build more close relations with Russia and China, military and economically. That will protect their interest more than living under US hagemoney
We should unite muslim countries in stead, and create our own NATO with countries like Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt, Malaysia Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Morocco ect.
Remember Chechnya? Uigurs?
Muslim ummah is a stupid concept
@@sulemanmalik8228and Israel can defeat all of 'em😂
@@anshuraj4277 Israel can´t even deal with hamas, without killing thousands of civilians and children, how can they deal with a professional army with modern weapons, nukes, modern drones and hypersonic missiles? Turkey alone has the 2rd largest army in NATO lol.
Furthermore there are two billion of us of all cultures and etnicites, and that´s why we can never lose, because we not united by etnicity, but by religion, so diverstiy is unironically our strength.
@@sulemanmalik8228 hamas is embedded in civilian population
Israel defeated Muslim world thrice
Nothing changed people will still be suffering babies still dying
Denying food. Water electricity to Gazans is a crime committed by Netanyahu.
Just when i thought i couldn’t be any more disenchanted with my government this guy starts talking.
Absolutely true! He is trying to serve well to his country, but he does the opposite.
Look at his hair dye leaking lol
Any fully grown adult that still talks about good guys and bad guys is probably not worth listening to. This interview confirms it
Not only the young I am 77 and I am appalled at what Biden is allowing to happen
Likewise, very let down, especially as he claims to be Irish, a disgrace, but that is nothing compared to the suffering & loss of Palestinians and my voting will reflect it
Isreal's Action is one of terror compared to that by Hamas.
Given this generals history he shouldn't be answering such questions.
He's talking about what they did in Afghanistan and Iraq as if it was a tremendous success 😂
I don't see any reason to believe Hamas are irreconcilable - they've literally just done a deal over hostages, so obviously you can deal with them. They're irreconcilable if you're committed to reconciling them to the current Israeli leadership, and its priorities. I suspect that may be the problem.
he is CIA , thats why he called them innocents.
any how ask him how was your days in Afghanistan?
Israel's War against palestine cannot end. As that would mean Israel being prosecuted by the ICC, the one result being the return of all palestinians who want to be returned. And many Israeli leaders and military being imprisoned. Then what would happen to the project 'israel only for the jews and Iran too'.
If you think that you’re “creating bad guys” by your actions, isn’t it ^you^ that is the “bad guy”?
I’m disappointed about this interview. The fact that he did’nt get challenged when he is a war criminal and clearly believes palestinians are inhuman and clearly believes the IDF can control Gaza fairly I mean WTF
Hey, just consider that as a clown show 🤣🤣
@@jacklam9843 That’s worse than a clown show. I mean an american war criminal just said the Israeli soldiers could run Gaza fairly 🤣🤣🤣
This man is thinking of Hamas reorganisation at the cost of more than 5000 children and 3000 women lives. Still he dont think Its genode by barbaric ....
The notion that Hamas is an "existential threat" to Israel is an exaggeration. If they were, Nuttyahoo wouldn't have used them to deligitimize the Palestinians.
This guy views dead children as a means to an objective. That tells you all what you need to know.
The only question he should be asked what was your speed when running away from Iraq, 20 mph or 120mph? Israel would never have agreed to cease fire if they were winning. the ceasefire also was the result of their Baraks being destroyed.
👍
This guy has been accountable for the genocide committed by the barbaric American military. What is he talking about having neighboring countries to volunteer to run Gaza when all he need to do is to get Israel to leave the country & stop the apartheid and genocide so the Gazans can manage to run their own country.
Rules based international order: the US chose to ignore the rules in many cases, including the second Iraq War.
"The Rules Based International Order, where we make the rules and order everyone else around"
-Ben Norton at Geopolitical Economy Report
And continued to ignore & veto the world call for cease fire & peace
Clearly, this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about
He is saying nicely what Israel is saying in horrific way, he is not saying "flat Gaza" just "make Hamas nonoperational". Horrific destruction of Iraq is best example of what he really does and what are the effects
He should be in a war crimes court!
The IDF seems to have taken the guiding principle outlined by Patraeus at 6:26 and turned it on its head.
Here's what should be done the day after Hamas is done:
All stakeholder countries, especially the US and Israel, should come together with an economic plan to rebuild Gaza that includes two things:
1. An internal security system that doesn't bring threats to the lives of everyone inside Gaza by carrying out terrorist attacks, say much less the lives of neighbouring Israelis.
2. A grand economic development process that sees sharing the minimum $6B/year shipping revenues of the Ben-Gurion Canal with the Gazans after it's completed. Israel should take it upon itself to see that the new political authority fulfil the lifting of the economic conditions of Gazans through new modern educational institutions, manufacturing factories and tourism industries.
Peace upon the Arabs and the Jews.
Sorry to break it to you but it has never been about the Hamas but about taking 100% of the land from Palestinians
A Zionist in Occupied Palestine the part they call new Israel, have for the -Ast q6 years totally had a apartheid state ruling Palestinians in Gaza worse than any prison in the west oppression apartheid illegal imprisonment of a part of the Nation of Palestine and its people who were allowed nothing not a grain of rice wheat or oats water fuel nothing could
get past the guarded 24/7 armed gateway into Gaza. They have a check to call them animals and threaten genocide, then committing genocide on Palestinians, while the worlds people disagree with them they break interstate laws galore with nobody holding them accountable.
Are you that naive? Hard to imagine…👎🏼
General Betrayus should be tried for war crimes too.
A zen koan
Sekiso lived and taught on the Southern Mountain, and Kankei lived and taught on the Northern Mountain. One day, a monk came from the Northern Monastery to the Southern Monastery in search of teaching. Sekiso said to him, "My Southern Monastery is no better than the Monastery in the North." The monk did not know what reply to make. When he returned to Kankei and told him the story, Kankei said, "You should have told him that I am ready to enter Nirvana any day."
What a vision and what a view this former intelligence guy has is beyond me.. 😢
He's surely a z..io..nist to the core.. just mentioning the 'atrocities of Hamas ' on 10/7 is a sheer proof of that.
Disregarding a overview of historically the whole 'conflict' is to my mind intentional.
Absolutely.
If we both eat the same bread, we both get full.
this guy is delusional, they aint gunna give back northern Gaza when its destroyed..
Comments are quite enlightening. Right on!
is remarkable to listem to Petreus dip, dodge and his use of projection! What a way to use your life.
Yeah let's hear what the guy that while being a sitting general committed espionage/treason by giving his mistress (also a violation of ucmj) thinks. I'm sure people forgot about that though.
No, men with integrity haven’t forgotten his infidelity.

"150 Palestinians released from prison." Where do they go upon release?
What a bad joke. What and how he imagine to rebuilt the damaged area? If so, what for it is flatten by now? The whole makes no sense, unless you have the plan to make the area inhabtiable.
Let go to the front lines
If you apply international law equally, then this wouldn't have happened. Wouldn't you agree General Petraeus ?
Quoting Security Council 242;
"
(i) Withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict;(ii) Termination of all claims or states of belligerency and respect for and acknowledgment of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every State in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force.

USA lost the war in Afghanistan , so what advise this guy have to give
Please do not give air time to war criminals
@@franzmanz9916 they all combined have not killed 5000 Children in a life time compare to isarel and America in 6 weeks in Gaza
For what this man did in Iraq, this criminal general should be in prison along with Bush.
Like Noam Chomsky says: There are very people who look into the mirror and say:
That person I see is a savage monster;
instead, they made up some construction to justify what they do.
He is saying that one nation to salve another, that is the world we live in.
Is so funny they want to control them in there on country.
The one who is responsible for massacre of thousands of innocent women and children in Afghanistan and Iraq shamelessly justifying another massacre by a terrorist regime whom which his country fund without any regret. I wonder whether these people have any humanity left😢
I have more respect for this General than any other US general. But one major flaw in his advice is that earlier variations of these hearts and minds strategies failed in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, etc...
It was always a lie, they never really tried to do that. You can't win hearts and minds when you're invading a sovereign country halfway across the planet and setting up a puppet government with no popular mandate. That phrase is a distraction. It's used to placate the American people who rightfully understand that these illegal wars of aggression are morally wrong.
Now I know, why is USA losing its wars.
Hamas is not an army, to call them that is to try and justify the genocide
This general is talking sense
What happened to AJ that they decided to hold a serious conversatio0n with a serious man?
Anyway, Israel shouldn't be the babysitter of these people. Enough is enough. Neither is PA, we know what happened in 2006.
You are on their land. Even during the kingdom of israel Gaza is nowhere inside its territory. Not even in your own narrative you ever controlled Gaza thousands of years ago. Go to Florida, Texas or Epstein island for all I care.
Actually its de oder way round dear....usa babysits israel......
Q: How do you know David Petraeus is lying?
A: His lips are moving....
Like most men in the USA they better take care of infidelity issues and conflicts in their marriage first. Integrity men.
Fully ignored the question of the killing women and children
Aljazeera should have just brought on Nuttyyahoo , disgusting shameful.
What if you’re the bad guy, America?
Why is this very very evil man getting air time here?
This guy should also be tried as a war criminal for how he speaks about Iraq and Afghanistan.
This dude was the one who claimed Ukraine was going to push Russia out of the donbas in 2 weeks lmao. A clown thru and thru
