You didn’t mention the details for Egypt’s refusal of allowing Palestinians through the border. As soon as Israel declared war, they and the US tried to convince the Egyptian government into allowing Palestinians to “reside temporarily” in Sinai, even offering to negate all external debt. However, if they are allowed passage, a new resistance organisation would arise that would, not only endanger the lives of Egyptian civilians in Sinai, but also attack Israeli forces from their positions. This would give Israel the perfect justification to attack Egyptian lands while the government would have no right to defend or reprimand. The Egyptian prime minister’s speech was hinting at this possibility. The Egyptian government isn’t allowing Palestinians out of inhumane treatment (they have been the primary suppliers of medical aid and food etc. to the people of Gaza in the Arab world), but it is because doing so would further escalate the conflict and undermine the cause of the Palestinian civilians.
Didn't Israel give the whole Sinai peninsula to Egypt in order to have peace with them? And that's after Egypt kept losing wars against Israel. Why would Israel want to attack Egypt?
@@mohammadal-essa3104 Ethnic cleansing? How many Arabs are enjoying citizenship in Israel? Then tell me how many Jews and Christians get to keep their heads in Muslim Arab nations?
I'm sorry for all the civilians, either Israeli or Palestinians that have to suffer because of this conflict. Regular people with normal problems are dragged into an unwanted war. I hope they all stay safe.

What I found interesting, is over in the UK the US’s involvement is virtually nonexistent in the news. I didn’t even realise troops had been deployed/stationed. Just interesting how different countries focus on different aspects of this awful conflict.
The US pretty much has troops deployed everywhere all the time. If theres a conflict anywhere in the world, you can be sure there’s US troops somewhere close by monitoring it.
No, not how countries focus on aspects.....how MEDIA focuses on aspects. There's a conflict in Sudan right now, 5k people killed so far and it's been going on for months. But is the western media covering that, no!
In malaysia, most Malay language tv channel just glossed over Hamas atrocities committed on Oct 7. They interviewed Palestinian aid organization members, they ran news without even fact checking facts or waiting for new facts(eg The Al-Ahli hospital attack, the video about evacuating cars getting "bomb"). Heck, they don't even bother to update the news with new info or make a correction at all. I suspect the government have a hand in what they want people to watch, considering the fact that they just run the news about "2 swedish national shot in Belgium" with this exact headline, no mention of the perpetrator's nationality or religion affiliation at all. Mind you I'm a muslim, I personally think it's stupid to cover up/or not even bother to show us, the muslim populations in this country any act of violence that were perpetrated by a muslim towards a non-muslim.
I know it would be difficult, but I would’ve loved a bit more analysis on the breaches of the wall. How one of the most prepared intelligence agencies was caught pants down.
My skeptical brain is thinking what most of us are thinking. Especially with the immediate comparisons to 9/11 by Israeli officials. But alas there is no evidence to back such claims (besides some officials saying Israeli PM knew the wall was under protected but insisted on keeping military personnel focused on the West Bank instead)
So far the popular theory is that Israel knew about it and let it happen to use it as justification. We've seen reports of survivors saying a great number of israeli casualties were killed by IDF fire, I think they wanted to make the damage look even greater.
@@andyNemrthe popular theory amongst who? Those who desire superiority by pretending they know something none else does? There is 0 evidence of this, Hamas does not even claim this and they have the greatest influence incentive.
@@illitaret8780 I love how this is a comment made by a guy with an npc profile picture. I see the Hasbara machine is in overdrive. How many shekels per comment?
It literally hurts that innocent people, kids and families are caught in between all of this. People who wanted nothing to do with this. People who don’t have a home or a country to defend them and their rights. People on both sides who are prisons and casualties or war. My heart goes out to them, and I pray that somehow they are led to safety and that this war ends, and that thay sovereignty is returned to each and every person.
Yeah the one who wanted anything to do with this re those who lives far away from Palestine. Even Palestinian themselves who re just acting as if they re hero on social media didn't do anything but kep crying on social media like they re the one who getting hurt by Israel soldiers
Hence why Hamas chose this place to be their grounds. Their using the innocents as a shield to make sure every action they take to be difficult. If they make it look very bad for Israel they win by making sure Israel loses support and ruin any future support. Although Israels choices in this conflict are also horrendous and unforgivable. My prayers go to the innocents and children suffering from this conflict.
It’s really disgusting to see how some media outlets are just plain antisemetic, totally weighing everything unfairly and purposefully twisting the story.

Thank you for stating the facts and not bringing anything else into it. It’s difficult to find straight forward information like this about such a controversial conflict.
Sorry but he didn't State any fact's! Or the actual reason These country are going against Israel, ISIS, Al-Qaeda and Many other terrorist groups whos roots is connected and uniform under one alternative motive! Also why would iran have a problem with Israel before they keep trying to occupy these arab countrys Land!! Also nobody talks about the outrageous facts of 40 Years of sanctions against iran after the revolution which CIA confess to making it happen.. and 11 months later supporting Saddam to attack iran right after the revolution then their was constant invasions or attacks from ISIS, al Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups against iran who just didn't want to support Israel and western super powers against the neighboring arab countrys where 30 million iranian kurdish ppl live as well. it seems like Israel and westerns powers have their own plans for West Asia specially the neighboring lands next to Israel which iran isn't one of them so that automatically put away the narrative of iran wanting to become the regions super power unless they want to push that narrative!! Despite everything i don't support Irans government for helping Arab countrys but am not blind to all the events going on around the world including the ones in American.
The most important fact is that israel killed 34,000 palestinians and palestine has killed just over 1,000 israelis during this war..And palestinians have been forced out of their own land with limited rights even there
@@xasia_the most important fact is that hamas started everything back up on 10/7/23. The really most important fact is that Isreal has always been the ISREAL-ites land, hence why the have always been called "Isreal-ites" and Palestinians always trying to take it over spanning over from thousands of years ago. Its always been the Jews land inherited from God himself and the jews have always been the ones exiled and fighting for their God given land back since the start thousands of years ago, and in 1947 the prophecy was fullfilled that they would be re established as a nation. Its not Palestinians land. Do you know why they fight so hard over such a irrelevant seeming piece of land?? It goes way deeper into supernatural reasons. Its the holy lnd and hamas/islam is an antichrist RELIGION that is doing all it can to have control over it, but God wont allow it.
It’s insane how much they put on their biases in this war, and when they put their biases, it is indirectly making the war worse by increasing hate and division.
@@TicTacSoda2341 israel has milled more children than any war in history so far. The death toll is 30+k palestinians vs 1k israelis. Israel, who started the war by demanding more land and displacing people from their homes and their rights.
Could someone do a video on how a state that receives billions in military aid yearly, has one of the most advanced military equipment, has one of the most highly regarded intelligence and surveillance capabilities in the world, just allowed literally a handful of paragliders, motorbike gangs, pickup trucks and a bulldozer to roam freely in their territory for 6 hours?
It’s not their territory - it belongs to the Palestinians. That there is the source of the entire issue. Go back to 1948 and even back to the 1917 Balfour Declaration.
You neglected to mention the normalization talks between Israel and Saudi Arabia and how they would have shifted the balance of power in the Middle East out of Iran's favor. It seems that the Oct. 7th attacks were initiated in retaliation to those talks, demonstrating a high level of communication between Hamas and Iran.
Iran learned from their loss of sovereignty to the United States after the coup in 1954. It conducts a lot of it's regional influence similar to how the United States does. Whatever country is bothering Iran, gets their rebels armed and a good long civil war started. ( Houthis in Yemen undermining the US/Saudi Arabian friendly regimes and Al Qaeda/ISIS in Syria weakening the Assad government for the United States) Russia learned as well. Using Wagner Group to supply and train the Republics in Donetsk to break away from the US installed Kiev regime. Just like contractors like Halliburton, Triple Canopy or Blackwater did a lot of the kinetic dirty work for the DoD.
This was to Stop Israel and Saudi Arabia from being to Close, because Iran hates the Saudi Government for having American bases on their territory and because they believe they want to be in control of Mecca
@@SubvertTheState I think you should also acknowledge a distinction between combating communism, like in Nicaragua and Vietnam, and simply starting wars against anyone who sides against you. The Iran and Guatemalan Coups were seen as preemptive measures, not justified, but not done for simply being against the USA. The USA and Iran are not equal.
this is just the version you want to accept, its just that simple. But if you want the truth then start from post WW1. Balfour declaration and all jews deliberately sent to occupy a country and take it from there... its not very difficult to understand.
When innocent kids die, no one can genuinely be victorious. I’m currently in Tehran to visit family & this breaks my heart. It is soul shattering to hear that millions of people could sincerely be affected.
I wonder how people would feel if journalists took a neutral opinion during world war 2 saying "well, both the sides took innocent lives. Who are we to say which side is right?"
Whenever innocent civilians, families and children are affected in these conflicts, there is no true ‘victory’ for either side. Prayers going out to all in the country atm
Hey Johnny, Egyptian here. I think you got the Egyptian PM's statement wrong. Perhaps due to translation. He was addressing the tribes in Sinai in regards to any ATTACK on Sinai from any party (probably referring to the drone attacks, and the Israeli tank that hit an Egyptian outpost). But he was not talking about refugees. (Not saying that Egypt will take them in, just correcting you) Side note: I'm a big fan!
It wasn't a mistake. This entire video is a masterclass in subtle propaganda that appeals to you by appearing to be objective and "only about the facts" He didn't mention that Israel bombed the Rafah crossing several times after Oct. 7. Nor did he mention Israel's specific threats that they gave out beginning Oct. 8 that they would bomb any aid trucks attempting to leave from Egypt to Gaza. Nor did he mention the several times since that Israel bombed aid trucks and even an ambulance convoy attempting to make the cross. Nor did he capture the very obvious implications from the fact that Israel is even in a position to **let** humanitarian aid in through the south passage. Nor did he capture Egypt's concern that if they allow Palestinians to all exit into Egypt, it's more than likely that Israel would then seize the vacant Gaza land and never allow them to return as they have been doing gradually for over the past 70 years - Thus by not mentioning any of that, this video intentionally painted a picture that the ONLY reason Gazans can't flee south is because "Egypt doesn't like them or want them." He mentions the exact number of Israeli's reported to be killed on Oct 7, yet nowhere mentions the numbers of civilian deaths since Oct 7, of which now are more than 10x than the number of Israeli deaths reported. Just a few weeks ago this channel released a video with extensive coverage of what's happening in Myanmar to the Rohingya people, and in that video there were no punches pulled when naming it a genocide. They used wording such as "Extermination campaign," "Killing indiscriminately," "Horrific acts of violence," "The rampage was widespread and systematic." Compare that to in this video, he can't even outright say that Israel is committing war crimes, but instead says "SOME at the UN are calling Israel's actions POTENTIAL war crimes." The verbiage used in this video only paints Palestinians as "people caught in the midst of a war," and not a people who are actively being exiled for good. Apparently to this channel, they see a big difference between burning down villages and turning entire city blocks to craters of rubble with US-made munitions. Also notice how the graphic at 3:10 shown a couple times figuratively paints a picture that the IDF "must cut through Gaza civilians if they want to beat the bad guys" or "the bad guys hiding behind civilians." More 'human shield' imagery to excuse Israel for bombing numerous targets that have not at all been proven to be remotely related to Hamas militants outside of IDF statements and misleading videos. I could be entirely wrong. Maybe they're purposely skirting around naming a spade a spade because they feel there are forces on the internet who'd take this video down, and perhaps the whole channel down, for plainly stating what is happening in Gaza. At any rate, I am really tired of seeing so many news outlets and so many journalists from the west, ones that I thought were neutral and good sources of perspective, so blatantly cave in to the propaganda on this specific conflict, the conflict that's been the most widely reported-on and widely focused on for this generation in the west. My vision of the press - that is being the people at forefront shining a light on atrocity even in the midst of scrutiny from their own governments - has been shattered from this conflict as I've realized that those forces are seemingly much too powerful for even modern-day journalists to go against.
It's really sad to see how some missels can completely eradicate the color from a view, these were cities a month ago, there was color, a few bombs and it's all just gray
What’s even sadder is the demolished and burnt houses in the kibbutzim, where 1400 innocent children, babies and woman were brutally murdered and decapitated in. The streets flooded with blood. AND 240 innocent people abducted and taken hostage from their homes. This is what really sad.
The Israeli nukes were already developed before the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Other countries are told not to develop them because if a lunatic in Iran decides to drop a nuke that’ll probably escalate into the destruction of all mankind.
Goood question. In principle, every souvereign nation is of course allowed to build whatever weapons they want. Israel never signed the nuclear weapons control treaty, got help from south africa, the US and france. Until today they dont openly admit having the weapons. And of course, the main ally of the global hegemon is treated completely different than states opposing US influence like iran. Who none the less signed a treaty promising and allowing controls that they wont build one. Which all parties including the controllers said they kept to. Until the orange clown ripped it up without any reason - and old Joe refused to enter again under the same conditions, trying to extort further concessions.
Compared to any American war, even the War of Independence, this is the most humane war America has ever seen in its life, at least on the part of Hamas. 1:55
Let's not forget who helped to fund and set up Hamas as an organisation in the late 1980s. That little fact seems to never be mentioned. Nor the reasoning behind (Israel) doin so.
What’s missing here is more historic context to how to war and prior invasion started… it would explain the actions of each party involved and unfortunately the continuous collateral damaged into poor civilians
Historic context is pretty simple. Saudis and Israelis were about to make a deal, then suddenly the attack happens. Very obvious Iran is involved and behind it all. But I am curious because Russia is most likely involved as well since it was perfect timing for them as well.
@@yuriydee Iran Rus China NK, always pitching in on each others goals, primary objective global totalitarian under China's umbrella. The funny thing is, they think once the US isn't in the way that China won't just say WE OWN U 3 now, with the rest of the globe.
You clearly did not watch the whole video attentively. Sam makes reference to a series called Modern Conflicts. So if you want "context" there you go. Otherwise, content creators will keep rehashing information over and over again.
Any pro Israel comments on this video are getting deleted but the pro Palestinian post get to stay? Censorship isn’t okay no matter what side you’re on!!!
Would for be good for the Modern Conflict episode (giving more context) to be posted on UA-cam. I appreciate the Nebula promo but I feel like right now it’s super important that the context of this conflict is widely shared/accessible to all.
Ceasefire = Hamas arms itself, terrorists come out of the tunnels to eat, arm themselves, recruit new fighters. Your blood boils because your mind doesn't work. Netanyahu is right.
The only event that lead to Oct 7th is the creation of Israel. Hamas has made it very clear they will never accept an Israeli country. This is their motivation and they cite the Quran and Hadith as the reasons. So there you have your "events" leading up to Oct 7th.
I can't believe you're totally omitting what Palestine has done in the past 6 decades. Remember the 90's when the leaders of Palestine and Israel shook hands in Washington and vowed to make a peace? What happened then? Hamas sent suicide bombers into Jerusalem, ending the peace talks.@@saleemjavaid8870
Johnny is quick to call Hamas terrorists and thier attack sensless slauter of innocent lives. BUT NOT a word against IDF KIlling more than 10,000 civilians in GAZA. Great jornalism Man! but other than that a nice video! long time follower.
I usually watch your videos, but this one misses a lot of context, what happened on 7th of October was a disaster but was worth mentioning what Israel has been doing for years
Thank you for putting this into a human perspective of the war. It's difficult to explain this to people without religion and ideology being the main argument. The suffering of people's on both sides for political reasons needs to end. Keep this message alive.
People hear “Jew” and “Muslim” and because of the centuries of dehumanization of both Jews and Muslims, assume that there BEING Jews and Muslims is the problem. Its an absolutely horrible perspective to have. When the Russo-Ukraine war escalated further, we didnt blame it on Christianity. This war isnt about religion either, its about borders and nationalities.
He speaks greatly but for a de videos now I see he has wholes in the story and he misses a lot of info. Now I don’t if to trust him with other conflicts around the world that I don’t know anything about. Israel is now 2 weeks into the ground invasion and he is talking about it like it didn’t happen yet. He missed the part of where hezbullah already lost over 70 fighters from Israeli strikes and the few anti tanks missles they fired into Israel before each Israeli attack. Hezbullah is a harder war but they don’t hide under civilians which makes it a little easier then Hamas. Hezbulla of course can still join but for now they’ve only been bothering Israel but are showing that they don’t want a conflict with Israel. Yemen have the ability to get to the southern part of Israel but aren’t a real threat to Israel. The US already sent a lot of troops into the region including 3 fleets of aircraft carriers, which one only one of those can almost wipe out hezbulla. Iran like he said don’t join this war but use weaker organizations to “bother” Israel.
@@Ellie_244 Yup. And there are TONS of videos on that. THIS video is about the CURRENT state of the conflict. From Johnny himself, "I wish I could have fit so much more into this video. The whole history of how this region got to look like this is key context that I didn't have room to include in this geopolitics piece."
@@aloeup2121 You don't understand, you cannot talk about this current Genocide without going back in history (at least the 2000s man…) and there isn't any excuse to not do so because Johnny can make multiple parts of the same history like how he always does with his other videos. But I'm not surprised he didn't, I can't help but think he's biased and left out a huge chunk of history on purpose.
the Blitz, where for 8 months the Nazis bombed out the British (up until mid 1941). They then did the same thing (albeit on a much smaller scale) until 1944, and I think they used V-1s and V-2s to hit the UK even in 1945. Since Hitler died 80 years ago, I think he is talking about when he continually bombed-out Britain rather than doing it now in 2024.
The visual aids you provide are so important to me. Even though you’re clear and concise; on topics like these I get easily confused and I have to watch it multiple times over to understand. Without your videos I wouldn’t be able to learn so easily, so thank you
I’ve read so many comments. The talk is what we need, the opinions are what we need. Exposure of the atrocities taking place. I want to thank Mr. Harris and his team for attempting to cover this horrific tragedy, I know it wasn’t easy to make.
We don't need many journalists saying the IDF said such and such we need independent investigations we need a diversity of of voices and critical analysis
In my view the more we in the west discuss it, the worse the conflict gets. We always center ourselves in it and have no idea what we're talking about.
@@sallyhope13 has the right take. It's true that open dialogue is generally good regarding conflict, but in this conflict in particular, the opinions rapidly outpace the understanding. It is shameful how many people have extremely strong views on the conflict and, simultaneously, couldn't tell you a single thing about it. Their opinion on who is right is literally the ONLY thing that they know.
Wished you put more focus on how almost every european country and the usa just blindely picked the side of israel. And how they keep excusing thousands of deaths as "self defense"
@@jerseyltdremember when Israel kinda just yoinked Palestine( or Arab populated land)? They took more than half of their land just because they got babyfed by the british and UN
Should have mentioned Israel’s PM doesn’t want a ceasefire because then he’d have to face the consequences for allowing Oct. 7th to happen in the first place. He had warning from Egyptian intelligence of the imminent attack and did nothing.
very true, along with the fact that this allows Israel's PM to avoid more investigations into his corruption. He might be the biggest obstacle to peace.
I'm a bit surprised, you're usually a lot more thorough when you're setting a premise. I just feel like you've left a lot of heavy stones unturned or ignored. You're far more thorough on less complex topics. This deserves a more wary eye
Why do these conversations only begin from the point where Israel receives retaliation for its military occupation? It's as if the vast majority of Western populations who daily scream about democracy and human rights do not believe in these values for everyone because they instantly start justifying the horrifying abuse of those victimized by their allies. The victim blaming is endless. Everyone was offended about Mahsa Amini but they don't care about 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza. Suddenly it's acceptable to let them starve as well as bomb them and allow the hospitals to run out of fuel to protect them. Those women's rights don't matter to Americans and Europeans. Neither do the rights of 5,000 Palestinian children killed by Israel because they weren't victims of the taliban so who cares about their rights? How many news outlets demand from Israeli representatives to apologize for their crimes even though they're officially representing Israel but they ask every Arab and Palestinian supporter to condemn Hamas. Why? Why is that burden not put on all Israelis whose taxes pay an illegal occupation? The IDF has murdered more than 150 Palestinians in the West Bank including 50 kids since 7 October. There's no Hamas there but nobody asks them to condemn those killings. Why? Because they're an army so they're allowed to commit extra judicial executions? Then let other countries do the same as well. At least, be consistent in your moral depravity.
You gotta appreciate the fact that Johnny takes his time to put these pieces together and not just mindlessly jump on these issues like almost everyone else. Great insights! It’s unfortunate how folks are confusing me commending a good video to think I’m in agreement with all he claimed. Of course not. A good production needs its own research and hardwork. That’s what I commend.
Fantastically edited and visually very good. Information is not reflective of reality. Scale of deaths (1:10 since Oct 7th) and UN interaction with Israel (years of condemnation and now accusation of genocide) are not reflected at best, and masked at worst.
Impressive graphics but bias is definitely there. Btw what are these? just your opinions right? How do you know exactly why or what each of these countries' ideologies and strategies are? Are you this sole unique special person that has sole intelligence into what how and why any of them do what they did and will do??? 😂 stick to showing great graphics that'll do.
2:47 Israel also bombed the southern part of Gaza after telling the civilians to go there. This isn’t just Egypt saying 2 million people can’t enter because Sinai can’t support that kind of population increase and Israel will never let them return (based on the entire history since Israel was formed).
Thank you for all of the informative videos Johnny! A bit disappointed that the overall history of the region before October 7th wasn’t covered. It provides perspective to the overall bigger picture.
yeah we decided to focus on the current geopolitics for this one. hard to try to fit in any useful context or history in the same video without it being much much longer.
@johnnyharris I love your videos, I would steongly encourage investigating figures before repeating them, although 7thOct was a tragic, it was a resistance group fighting a zionistic apartheid state that is well known for lying through their teeth. You very confidently said 1400 isrealis were killed, any loss of life is tragic, however, you should have mentioned a disclaimer that those figures were what the isreali government have stated and cant be taken as truth, many of the 1400 deathes were by the idf's own shelling, making the death toll much higher and pointing blame a resistence geoup which may have done some terrible actions, but which suffocated resistence group doesn't (not agreeing with their actions). As you have a great story telling capability, it was a shame to see a lot being glossed over and repetition of many terms echoed in the media which is dishonest and further peddles a propaganda fooling the mass from the truth. I hope you can give an honest, nonbias view, right from the start, when this all started, over 80 years ago, tell the story, be honest to yourself and everyone lending their ears, they atleast deserve that much, as we look at history and qusstion how people could have been so cold blooded, heartless and savages, yet we see it happening today - in the internet & social media years, we turn our heads and pretend nothings happening, pointing fingers whilst we cover up the genocide taking place or try justify it, being frightend of being labeled, when only reporting the facts. Please make a genuinly honest vedio on the matter, youll feel much better than pandering to one group. Peace & love.
@@r22gamer54 Israel doesn't intentionally try to kill innocent people. The dead innocent people are collateral damage because Hamas literally puts their missile sites in densly populated areas to guarantee Palestinians die to cause outrage and get more support. Hamas literally uses their own people as human shields Hamas literally tries to kill ALL jews, they say it themselves (read the Hamas charter if you don't believe me) Why are you holding Israel to a higher moral standard than Hamas?
Thank you for making a clear video for people to understand this conflict. Nobody wins in this war and it’s innocent people on both sides who suffer the most
You should have mentioned that this has been going on for 75 years, I understand what Hamas did was bad, but what israel did was worse AND they didn’t start the war. It all started from israel stealing peoples land, you gave a great overview, but lacked the context in my opinion.
@Tony51929Israel has been doing that. There are 300 pages long reports by Amnesty and the UN for years that Israel has been slowly expanding territories by settling migrants in the West Bank which is officially not their territory.
The conflict aside (boy I wish we could do that), the video editing of not only this but of your other geopolitical videos is absolutely amazing. I would watch these videos all day to be honest and wish all the other geopolitical series videos were edited this way. I wish it was longer. Thanks for all your great content!
I appreciate you saying you didnt specifically talk about the the israeli v Palestinian conflict but you really left out alot of details and made it seem like israel are conflicted good guys in this scenario. You talked about their occupation briefly in the beginning but essentially started this whole story on the oct 7th attack. You also brought up plans that neighboring countries might have without talking about israels and americas bigger plan. Israel wants all palestinians out of gaza whether theyre hamas or not and thats been a fact for over 75 years with all the crimes and massacres theyve committed on palestinians.
As an Israeli, I appreciate this video that describes the situation very fairly and accurately. Few points worth mentioning: 1. In the last months normalization talks started between Israel and Saudi Arabia with the US as the middleman. Israel would gain more regional stability with another country that excepts it existence. Saudi Arabia would get military aid from the US to protect itself again Iran and its proxies, and the US would make another strong ally in the region. This deal is the worst nightmare possible for Iran as all 3 are enemies of Iran. 2. I'm not sure that the "Don't!" calls were meant to Israel. Israeli officials worked closely with US officials discussing the high-level approach for dealing with Hamas, and I'm pretty sure that they knew and accepted the Israeli plans for ground operations. 3. It's of course only a point of view, and I'm myself not the biggest fan of the Netanyahu's Israeli government, but there is a difference between a country like Iran that calls for the destruction of Israel constantly and Israel that its main goal is to protect Israelis. Most Israelis don't want this war but see it as a necessity to our existence to eliminate Hamas and weakening this Iran backed axis.
Thanks Johnny - I’ve been avoiding the news but wanted to stay conscious of the war and acknowledge the the heartbreaking losses. This video was hard to watch and I pray for all the victims ❤ love from UK
This video is so pro-wester, he failed miserably on this one. Normally I like his vidoes, but I started to sense he just like and follow pro western propaganda.
@@calebisgoated8494It is not, he missed a lot of points in favor of Palestine. Well, is only propaganda from Israel who dominates the MSM, and I can see also youtube channels like this one. Very dissapointed of Jonny.
Smart thing to do at this point. No source will remain unbiased or fair, there will always be something. I just watch videos to educate myself to steer clear of it
@@dominickbosson1107And Johnny videos are not the best example, this one for example is very biased. Comapred to the one he made on the Russia invassion. Totally double standard.
I like how he forgot (deliberately?) to mention the death toll of innocent Palestinans, but was quick to mention how many Israilis died. Israel is not at WAR with palestine, its commiting a GENOCIDE, its one of the worlds most powerful nuclear army funded by billions of US dollars against a so called terrorsit group hamas with no actual army. Where is your integrity Jonhnny? Why didnt you mention the henious acts Israel is committing against children of palestine, this biasness is revolting.
The only ones who have the plan and have acted on genocide is Hamas who say in their doctrine to eliminate Israel and kill the Jews. Israel wants to rescue hostages and is risking soldiers lives to do so.
I’m really sad to hear this story. I hope the war doesn’t escalate into something worse and end more lives. I’m sorry for the lives that were lost in this war. 💔
@@himpekennyof the war mongering land stealing Israel isn't stopped....before any Jew comes with your "facts" why tf is saitanyahu saying Israel will rule Gaza indefinitely
4:57 Actually, the rockets fired by Hamas are "home-made", hence their lack of accuracy. That said, Iran funds Hamas in different ways, e.g., automatic machine guns, bullets, money, vehicles, training - as you mentioned. Those "home-made" rockets were able to overwhelm the Israeli iron-dome due to the sheer number of rockets fired at the same time, from different origins, to multiple targets. Whenever those rockets were fired in reduced quantities, the iron-dome was able to destroy them. However, the cost induced to Israel, in order to destroy these Hamas' "home-made" cheap rockets, is quite substantial - because, not only are those Israel rocket quite expensive, but also because Hamas has been firing plenty of those lately. On October 7th, the sheer number of Hamas rockets was too much for the iron-dome to tackle.
Israel has they’re done down when they had attacked and soldiers took forever to arrive which is impossible, Israel plan this for many years now they take rest of Palestine once and for all sucks to say it
@@Mohammadali_9999 I admit I do not know enough about it. However, by the technology (lasers), I have some doubts, mainly these: - Lasers, in order to destroy something, need to be really strong and be pointed directly for some time, which both increase the energy required to operate, which costs money; - The lasers must be pointed high, to decrease the chance of hitting citizens and citizen infrastructure.
Thank you for supporting Palestine. Two of my cousins were killed, and I'm not even from Gaza. We've been under war for a hundred years, not since October 7.
I'm only half way through the video and can I just say, as an Iranian, I don't know anyone who wants their tax go to Hamas. The Islamic Republic government is cruel even to its own people. Like Taliban in Afghanistan. Long story short, unfortunately we're traped in a country that uses our money to fund a war we DO NOT WANT.
Exactly like America is giving our tax money to Israel when we are here suffering. We are also trapped in a country that uses our money to fund a war we do not want. Let's hope all these end quickly.
So refreshing seeing actual genuine investigative journalism, a real effort has been made on your part to be as unbiased as possible and I appreciate this more than you know...
The whole of gaza is 365km^2 and it's not all just one big city. Urban warfare would end within a month or two. The tunnels might pose trouble but urban warfare most certainly won't
Understanding it requires more than just acquiring an outlook of the "broader context" but more importantly, a historical depth. Imho, this is a shallow exposition of the matter, I'm not sure if it's even an exposition, maybe not; thank you for making that clear, please do a part II.
You kept mentioning Egypt as not wanting to allow Palestinians enter Egypt with giving their reason, is this a deliberate attempt at making Egypt look bad?
I did notice that too. That felt disengenuous. From what I have heard Egypt has already taken in millions of refugees and their government are currently suffering from high political instability because of things like the Ethiopian dam. Egypt isn't in a position to help anybody. They lowkey need help too
@@stamzthehuman897 they high key get billions of dollars in aid. The millions of refugees is over 50 years. Poland took millions of refugees over a few months and still didn't close its borders.
Given Israel's formidable military capabilities, including advanced weaponry, the Mossad, and substantial financial support from the US, the question arises: why deploy such overwhelming force against a relatively small group?
They know something we dont know.they could wipe every Palestinian if they want but israel acts a fool,an opressor thst acts a victim,they want to picture palestinian pushback as terrorism.its all like a game the eltirs play,a chess game where the players are the elites,and figures are innocent lives
What I find amazing is when the western media talks about the Israeli conflict is the lack of context such as the 1948 Nakba & the false promises that the British government promised Arab independence. Just like the media leaves out the context of the 2014 Maydon coupe, 2015 Minsk Agreements, America’s promise not to expand nato one inch eastwards in relation to the Ukraine conflict.
Johnny, while we definitely differ politically, I find your videos still very educational and entertaining, and love to know you just want to know the truth.
Now if we could just get politicians to act so nicely when dealing with people who have different beliefs and political leanings. I saw an example of this with the Kentucky governors election. The incumbent was a lot more polite with his ads than the competition was and pleased for our citizens to reach across the isle and cooperate with each other to achieve our goals and wishes. The competition was very mean and pathetic with their ads. The governor showed great restraint and respect for his competition. Why can't all politicians be the same? But that's like asking a lion to be vegan. One can dream, right?.....
@@BackYardScience2000 I consider myself to be an independent, with support for republicans or democrats depending on the certain issue...and I honestly love talking to people with different political ideas. Yes, sometimes you get curse words and "it's a waste of time", but from time to time there are people willing to challenge mine and argument for their ideas and I love that. I think that's the only way we can keep this country together. We need to realize that in the end, we only differ in the way we would solve certain issues, but we can all agree that those issues are needed to be solved. And there's been a couple of times my opinions started changing because someone has way better arguments and facts than I did. Which is another problem...so many people refuse to admit that they are wrong....and I just realized this comment looks like a huge virtue signaling, but it's not :D I swear.
actually this is anything but striving for telling the truth. everything palestine/israel related have been avoided, and the focus of the story became instead only on the bigger picture 😔😔
The cycle of violence going on in Gaza right now reminds me very much of the constant state of other disaffected regions. The Sahel, the Levant, etc. Each of these are being defined by multiple layers of perscribed violence and retaliation. The question I far often come to when looking at these problems? What will it take to break the cycle? Im afraid to say the answer is never clear cut.
Colonialism specialty is destabilization, Israel supported H4m4s at the beginning because they didn't want Palestine to have an actual government, they don't even recognize Palestine as a country, H4mas existence is very convenient for the dehumanization of Palestinians, you can see the videos of Israelis calling Palestinians "animals". This narrative also allows them to keep taking land and keeping the apartheid.
The borders in the MIddle East and Sahel were made by colonizers for their benefit, not the people living there. This ensures constant warfare and instability. Israel's creation led to dispossession of Palestinians who lived there for centuries.
Do you think the Arabs or Iranians have the balls to attack Israel? It seems like they'll just continue to bark while Israel cleans out everything in Gaza...
Well this issue was always there and the current circumstance is not something that can escalate to; it has already escalated. Israel will conduct a military operation into Gaza regardless of what anyone else says. It's similar to how the US reacted after 9/11. The question is what happens after, if Israeli government learns from the US's mistakes and tries not to do something stupid like the US invasion of Iraq or focuses on accomplishing its goals.
Thank you very much. Please dive deeper into the history of this conflict and describe what has been going on over the past 100 years between these two countries and why this conflict has not ended.
Is it negligence to not mention the near events that escalates Hamas’ response on October 7th or a deliberate cut off for the sake of the video length? also, some fact checking is needed e.g. Prime minister of Egypt at the start of all this said “we will not allow forcible displacement of Palestinians” so context here is important !
You're right, it started around 650 ad after Muhammads death when an Islamic caliphate decided to conquer Jerusalem and build a mosque on top of temple mount
@@lIIllIlIII The Israel-Palestine conflict has deep historical roots, with key events tracing back to the early 20th century. However, the ongoing war, often referred to as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, started in earnest in the mid-20th century. Key dates include: 1. **Early 20th Century Tensions**: The roots of the conflict can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the rise of nationalist movements among both Jews and Arabs in the region, then part of the Ottoman Empire. 2. **British Mandate Period**: Tensions increased during the British Mandate of Palestine (1920-1948), with both Jewish and Arab communities seeking control of the land. 3. **1947-1948**: The United Nations proposed a partition plan in 1947, which was accepted by Jewish leaders but rejected by Arab leaders. This led to the 1947-1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine, which escalated after the declaration of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948, and the subsequent Arab-Israeli War. 4. **Post-1948 Conflicts**: Since the establishment of Israel in 1948, there have been multiple wars and intifadas (uprisings), including major conflicts in 1956, 1967 (the Six-Day War), 1973 (the Yom Kippur War), and subsequent clashes and uprisings such as the First Intifada (1987-1993) and the Second Intifada (2000-2005). Thus, while the conflict's origins are complex and deeply rooted in history, the war in its current form began in the mid-20th century, particularly around the time of Israel's establishment in 1948. Even hitler when the US asked him not to invade other countries he mentioned Palestine and not Israel because it didn't even exist, so with the new Israel terrorist state it only gotten worse
@@JokeswithMitochondria together with the Vox video, is one of the good. I have followed this conflict for so long. and I just found out that Israel treat Palestinians less than prisoner of war
First of all this has nothing to do with iran. 2: you know why Egypt didn't open its borders?! Because they know this is just what israel wants, ethnic cleansing, and displacement of the native Palestinian population. Also the GAZANS made it clear they don't want to leave their land, as they already live in gaza as refugees from areas around that the israeli occupation forces kicked them out of. Completely biased and has nothing to do with real journalism. Free 🇵🇸
It’s all political cards they use it when they want and destroy it later no sincere intention of resolving this conflict but rather keeping it going and taking advantage of it
No it did not, hamas was created in the late 80s long before it got any support from iran, i think we need to normalize armed resistance against illegal occupation, without putting labels that shows the resistance as a group of people who benefits from the conflict
1:27 bro what they fight according to Islamic law they can't even hurt a tree or crops or civilians they just fight with the army if this is violence and terrorism then what are wars all about?
Real OG knows that they're different person (Johnny fan of beanie basically a cool uncle and Harris is a boring one that wears not fancy orange jacket)
Johny and your team, usually make good videos, but this one is a big mistake. Talking about this war only from the geopolitical perspective without presenting the key elements of its historical context is wrong. Facts and theories without context don't help people to understand what is going on, the attack of Hamas is a reaction to something, Would you talk about the atomic bomb dropping on Hiroshima without covering the context? 1. The occupation, displacement, and oppression of the Palestinian people since 1948 have to be mentioned. 2. The sons and daughters of thousands of people who were removed from their land by Israel and are today in refugee camps+Gaza+WB have undeniable reasons to be unhappy. 3. The Israeli army justifies dropping a bomb in a residential area because there is a Hamas leader, there. Would they do the same if the Hamas leader were in a shopping center in Tel Aviv? 4. How many innocent children must be killed in Gaza for Israel to understand that what they are doing is wrong? 5. Ideologies arising out of oppression, injustice, and suffering can not be destroyed with more violence, the war has the opposite effect, it is radicalizing more people. 6. The only solution to this conflict is using honest compromise and negotiation that address the original problems created in 1948. 7. Israel's government is single-handedly creating antisemitism, I am sure that Israel has a lot of honest and peace-loving people, but not in their current government. 8. If half of the money used in weapons and bombs in this war, were used to fund the development of Palestine people, imagine all the prosperity that could be created. 9. Hamas is not just a group of people that can be killed, it is an ideology in response to violence, resentment, and injustice.
I would appreciate it if you spot some light on how the world is changing dramatically after the 7th of October, and what are we to expect in the short and long terms! Thank you for your videos that help to understand what is going on! Keep it up!

Well it’s said that most of the civilians who died in oct 7 was by IDF and there is a lot of evidence
Hi
That channel's video on why the middle eastern borders guarantee war is also a really good one.
Could you do a youtube vs adblocker user's video, the youtube adblocking thing is on fire right now I guess it would make a good topic!
You didn’t mention the details for Egypt’s refusal of allowing Palestinians through the border.
As soon as Israel declared war, they and the US tried to convince the Egyptian government into allowing Palestinians to “reside temporarily” in Sinai, even offering to negate all external debt.
However, if they are allowed passage, a new resistance organisation would arise that would, not only endanger the lives of Egyptian civilians in Sinai, but also attack Israeli forces from their positions. This would give Israel the perfect justification to attack Egyptian lands while the government would have no right to defend or reprimand. The Egyptian prime minister’s speech was hinting at this possibility.
The Egyptian government isn’t allowing Palestinians out of inhumane treatment (they have been the primary suppliers of medical aid and food etc. to the people of Gaza in the Arab world), but it is because doing so would further escalate the conflict and undermine the cause of the Palestinian civilians.
Didn't Israel give the whole Sinai peninsula to Egypt in order to have peace with them? And that's after Egypt kept losing wars against Israel. Why would Israel want to attack Egypt?
it's not egypts job to host palestinians. palestinians belong in palestine. this was an attempt at ethnic cleansing

What I found interesting, is over in the UK the US’s involvement is virtually nonexistent in the news. I didn’t even realise troops had been deployed/stationed. Just interesting how different countries focus on different aspects of this awful conflict.
It depends what news you are watching
They’re not directly involved in the conflict on the border so whatever
The US pretty much has troops deployed everywhere all the time. If theres a conflict anywhere in the world, you can be sure there’s US troops somewhere close by monitoring it.
No, not how countries focus on aspects.....how MEDIA focuses on aspects. There's a conflict in Sudan right now, 5k people killed so far and it's been going on for months. But is the western media covering that, no!
In malaysia, most Malay language tv channel just glossed over Hamas atrocities committed on Oct 7. They interviewed Palestinian aid organization members, they ran news without even fact checking facts or waiting for new facts(eg The Al-Ahli hospital attack, the video about evacuating cars getting "bomb"). Heck, they don't even bother to update the news with new info or make a correction at all. I suspect the government have a hand in what they want people to watch, considering the fact that they just run the news about "2 swedish national shot in Belgium" with this exact headline, no mention of the perpetrator's nationality or religion affiliation at all. Mind you I'm a muslim, I personally think it's stupid to cover up/or not even bother to show us, the muslim populations in this country any act of violence that were perpetrated by a muslim towards a non-muslim.
Thank you so much for your well informed videos. Very educational
I know it would be difficult, but I would’ve loved a bit more analysis on the breaches of the wall. How one of the most prepared intelligence agencies was caught pants down.
I think even Israel is trying to figure out how that happened
My skeptical brain is thinking what most of us are thinking. Especially with the immediate comparisons to 9/11 by Israeli officials. But alas there is no evidence to back such claims (besides some officials saying Israeli PM knew the wall was under protected but insisted on keeping military personnel focused on the West Bank instead)
So far the popular theory is that Israel knew about it and let it happen to use it as justification. We've seen reports of survivors saying a great number of israeli casualties were killed by IDF fire, I think they wanted to make the damage look even greater.
@@andyNemrthe popular theory amongst who? Those who desire superiority by pretending they know something none else does? There is 0 evidence of this, Hamas does not even claim this and they have the greatest influence incentive.

People who don’t have a home or a country to defend them and their rights. People on both sides who are prisons and casualties or war. My heart goes out to them, and I pray that somehow they are led to safety and that this war ends, and that thay sovereignty is returned to each and every person.
Yeah the one who wanted anything to do with this re those who lives far away from Palestine. Even Palestinian themselves who re just acting as if they re hero on social media didn't do anything but kep crying on social media like they re the one who getting hurt by Israel soldiers
Hence why Hamas chose this place to be their grounds. Their using the innocents as a shield to make sure every action they take to be difficult. If they make it look very bad for Israel they win by making sure Israel loses support and ruin any future support.
Although Israels choices in this conflict are also horrendous and unforgivable.
My prayers go to the innocents and children suffering from this conflict.

Also nobody talks about the outrageous facts of 40 Years of sanctions against iran after the revolution which CIA confess to making it happen.. and 11 months later supporting Saddam to attack iran right after the revolution then their was constant invasions or attacks from ISIS, al Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups against iran who just didn't want to support Israel and western super powers against the neighboring arab countrys where 30 million iranian kurdish ppl live as well. it seems like Israel and westerns powers have their own plans for West Asia specially the neighboring lands next to Israel which iran isn't one of them so that automatically put away the narrative of iran wanting to become the regions super power unless they want to push that narrative!! Despite everything i don't support Irans government for helping Arab countrys but am not blind to all the events going on around the world including the ones in American.
The most important fact is that israel killed 34,000 palestinians and palestine has killed just over 1,000 israelis during this war..And palestinians have been forced out of their own land with limited rights even there
@@xasia_the most important fact is that hamas started everything back up on 10/7/23. The really most important fact is that Isreal has always been the ISREAL-ites land, hence why the have always been called "Isreal-ites" and Palestinians always trying to take it over spanning over from thousands of years ago. Its always been the Jews land inherited from God himself and the jews have always been the ones exiled and fighting for their God given land back since the start thousands of years ago, and in 1947 the prophecy was fullfilled that they would be re established as a nation.
Its not Palestinians land. Do you know why they fight so hard over such a irrelevant seeming piece of land?? It goes way deeper into supernatural reasons. Its the holy lnd and hamas/islam is an antichrist RELIGION that is doing all it can to have control over it, but God wont allow it.

You neglected to mention the normalization talks between Israel and Saudi Arabia and how they would have shifted the balance of power in the Middle East out of Iran's favor. It seems that the Oct. 7th attacks were initiated in retaliation to those talks, demonstrating a high level of communication between Hamas and Iran.
Iran learned from their loss of sovereignty to the United States after the coup in 1954. It conducts a lot of it's regional influence similar to how the United States does. Whatever country is bothering Iran, gets their rebels armed and a good long civil war started. ( Houthis in Yemen undermining the US/Saudi Arabian friendly regimes and Al Qaeda/ISIS in Syria weakening the Assad government for the United States)
Russia learned as well. Using Wagner Group to supply and train the Republics in Donetsk to break away from the US installed Kiev regime. Just like contractors like Halliburton, Triple Canopy or Blackwater did a lot of the kinetic dirty work for the DoD.
This was to Stop Israel and Saudi Arabia from being to Close, because Iran hates the Saudi Government for having American bases on their territory and because they believe they want to be in control of Mecca

Thank you for plugging the modern conflict series, I'm glad you did!
Hey Johnny, Egyptian here. I think you got the Egyptian PM's statement wrong. Perhaps due to translation. He was addressing the tribes in Sinai in regards to any ATTACK on Sinai from any party (probably referring to the drone attacks, and the Israeli tank that hit an Egyptian outpost). But he was not talking about refugees. (Not saying that Egypt will take them in, just correcting you)
Side note: I'm a big fan!
It wasn't a mistake. This entire video is a masterclass in subtle propaganda that appeals to you by appearing to be objective and "only about the facts"
He didn't mention that Israel bombed the Rafah crossing several times after Oct. 7. Nor did he mention Israel's specific threats that they gave out beginning Oct. 8 that they would bomb any aid trucks attempting to leave from Egypt to Gaza. Nor did he mention the several times since that Israel bombed aid trucks and even an ambulance convoy attempting to make the cross. Nor did he capture the very obvious implications from the fact that Israel is even in a position to **let** humanitarian aid in through the south passage. Nor did he capture Egypt's concern that if they allow Palestinians to all exit into Egypt, it's more than likely that Israel would then seize the vacant Gaza land and never allow them to return as they have been doing gradually for over the past 70 years - Thus by not mentioning any of that, this video intentionally painted a picture that the ONLY reason Gazans can't flee south is because "Egypt doesn't like them or want them."
He mentions the exact number of Israeli's reported to be killed on Oct 7, yet nowhere mentions the numbers of civilian deaths since Oct 7, of which now are more than 10x than the number of Israeli deaths reported. Just a few weeks ago this channel released a video with extensive coverage of what's happening in Myanmar to the Rohingya people, and in that video there were no punches pulled when naming it a genocide. They used wording such as "Extermination campaign," "Killing indiscriminately," "Horrific acts of violence," "The rampage was widespread and systematic." Compare that to in this video, he can't even outright say that Israel is committing war crimes, but instead says "SOME at the UN are calling Israel's actions POTENTIAL war crimes." The verbiage used in this video only paints Palestinians as "people caught in the midst of a war," and not a people who are actively being exiled for good. Apparently to this channel, they see a big difference between burning down villages and turning entire city blocks to craters of rubble with US-made munitions.
Also notice how the graphic at 3:10 shown a couple times figuratively paints a picture that the IDF "must cut through Gaza civilians if they want to beat the bad guys" or "the bad guys hiding behind civilians." More 'human shield' imagery to excuse Israel for bombing numerous targets that have not at all been proven to be remotely related to Hamas militants outside of IDF statements and misleading videos.
I could be entirely wrong. Maybe they're purposely skirting around naming a spade a spade because they feel there are forces on the internet who'd take this video down, and perhaps the whole channel down, for plainly stating what is happening in Gaza. At any rate, I am really tired of seeing so many news outlets and so many journalists from the west, ones that I thought were neutral and good sources of perspective, so blatantly cave in to the propaganda on this specific conflict, the conflict that's been the most widely reported-on and widely focused on for this generation in the west. My vision of the press - that is being the people at forefront shining a light on atrocity even in the midst of scrutiny from their own governments - has been shattered from this conflict as I've realized that those forces are seemingly much too powerful for even modern-day journalists to go against.

In principle, every souvereign nation is of course allowed to build whatever weapons they want.
Israel never signed the nuclear weapons control treaty, got help from south africa, the US and france.
Until today they dont openly admit having the weapons.

Don’t ask don’t tell
Compared to any American war, even the War of Independence, this is the most humane war America has ever seen in its life, at least on the part of Hamas. 1:55
This just shows you don't know much about the conflict. You don't know anything about Hamas nor Israel
Let's not forget who helped to fund and set up Hamas as an organisation in the late 1980s. That little fact seems to never be mentioned. Nor the reasoning behind (Israel) doin so.
It'd be great if you'd make a video on the history of Israel and its links to funding Hamas and Israel's interest in the Leviathan Oil Field.

His too biased to do that
loll too biased
US media won't mention that because it's too close to home.
Remember the Mujahideen in the 80s. Didn't go over so well.
Yea Israel funded hamas to fight against PLO
What’s missing here is more historic context to how to war and prior invasion started… it would explain the actions of each party involved and unfortunately the continuous collateral damaged into poor civilians
Historic context is pretty simple. Saudis and Israelis were about to make a deal, then suddenly the attack happens. Very obvious Iran is involved and behind it all. But I am curious because Russia is most likely involved as well since it was perfect timing for them as well.
It’s almost like the historical context of the conflict was exactly what the video was *not* about. Go figure.

Hypocrisy of Netanyahu boils my blood.
Ceasefire = Hamas arms itself, terrorists come out of the tunnels to eat, arm themselves, recruit new fighters.
Your blood boils because your mind doesn't work.
Netanyahu is right.
This timeline completely glosses over the events that led to October 7th
They can’t believe they’re totally omitting what Israel has done since part 6 decades
Yup
The only event that lead to Oct 7th is the creation of Israel.
Hamas has made it very clear they will never accept an Israeli country. This is their motivation and they cite the Quran and Hadith as the reasons.
So there you have your "events" leading up to Oct 7th.
I can't believe you're totally omitting what Palestine has done in the past 6 decades.

He did this intentionally. He pro Zionist
Who's here after the news 😭
Which news?
Thank you for putting this into a human perspective of the war. It's difficult to explain this to people without religion and ideology being the main argument. The suffering of people's on both sides for political reasons needs to end. Keep this message alive.
Not really… this is a one sided video
@@yay568 How do you figure? It's an overview, not one point of view...
It's not really ideology is the sad problem of fighting terrorism
People hear “Jew” and “Muslim” and because of the centuries of dehumanization of both Jews and Muslims, assume that there BEING Jews and Muslims is the problem. Its an absolutely horrible perspective to have. When the Russo-Ukraine war escalated further, we didnt blame it on Christianity. This war isnt about religion either, its about borders and nationalities.
This isn’t and was never a religious war. It was a war for the freedom of Palestinians. The pseudo intellectual reductionist stuff has to stop.
Thank you for explaining this! It's easy to forget the bigger picture when we're bombarded with the horrors of lives lost every single day.
He speaks greatly but for a de videos now I see he has wholes in the story and he misses a lot of info. Now I don’t if to trust him with other conflicts around the world that I don’t know anything about.
Israel is now 2 weeks into the ground invasion and he is talking about it like it didn’t happen yet.
He missed the part of where hezbullah already lost over 70 fighters from Israeli strikes and the few anti tanks missles they fired into Israel before each Israeli attack.
Hezbullah is a harder war but they don’t hide under civilians which makes it a little easier then Hamas.
Hezbulla of course can still join but for now they’ve only been bothering Israel but are showing that they don’t want a conflict with Israel.
Yemen have the ability to get to the southern part of Israel but aren’t a real threat to Israel.
The US already sent a lot of troops into the region including 3 fleets of aircraft carriers, which one only one of those can almost wipe out hezbulla.
Iran like he said don’t join this war but use weaker organizations to “bother” Israel.
Unfortunalty not the right explination. Very very one Sided. maybe not by design but likely because his understanding is limited

Where is this talk when Adolf Hitler continues to bomb Britain every day? Israel normally bombs Gaza every day, but Adolf Hitler does not. 11:39
the Blitz, where for 8 months the Nazis bombed out the British (up until mid 1941). They then did the same thing (albeit on a much smaller scale) until 1944, and I think they used V-1s and V-2s to hit the UK even in 1945. Since Hitler died 80 years ago, I think he is talking about when he continually bombed-out Britain rather than doing it now in 2024.
The visual aids you provide are so important to me. Even though you’re clear and concise; on topics like these I get easily confused and I have to watch it multiple times over to understand. Without your videos I wouldn’t be able to learn so easily, so thank you
Fake
I’ve read so many comments. The talk is what we need, the opinions are what we need. Exposure of the atrocities taking place. I want to thank Mr. Harris and his team for attempting to cover this horrific tragedy, I know it wasn’t easy to make.
Many journalists cover it these journalists are like vultures
We don't need many journalists saying the IDF said such and such we need independent investigations we need a diversity of of voices and critical analysis
In my view the more we in the west discuss it, the worse the conflict gets. We always center ourselves in it and have no idea what we're talking about.
@@sallyhope13 has the right take. It's true that open dialogue is generally good regarding conflict, but in this conflict in particular, the opinions rapidly outpace the understanding. It is shameful how many people have extremely strong views on the conflict and, simultaneously, couldn't tell you a single thing about it. Their opinion on who is right is literally the ONLY thing that they know.

There was a ceasefire but that ended on October 7th.

Love this video you break everything down so anyone can understand what exactly is going on thank you keep up the awesome videos
These shows are so well put together. The presentation, information, graphics and finally your shows are smooth and go along at a good pace.
Thank you
Why do these conversations only begin from the point where Israel receives retaliation for its military occupation? It's as if the vast majority of Western populations who daily scream about democracy and human rights do not believe in these values for everyone because they instantly start justifying the horrifying abuse of those victimized by their allies. The victim blaming is endless. Everyone was offended about Mahsa Amini but they don't care about 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza. Suddenly it's acceptable to let them starve as well as bomb them and allow the hospitals to run out of fuel to protect them. Those women's rights don't matter to Americans and Europeans. Neither do the rights of 5,000 Palestinian children killed by Israel because they weren't victims of the taliban so who cares about their rights?
How many news outlets demand from Israeli representatives to apologize for their crimes even though they're officially representing Israel but they ask every Arab and Palestinian supporter to condemn Hamas. Why? Why is that burden not put on all Israelis whose taxes pay an illegal occupation? The IDF has murdered more than 150 Palestinians in the West Bank including 50 kids since 7 October. There's no Hamas there but nobody asks them to condemn those killings. Why? Because they're an army so they're allowed to commit extra judicial executions? Then let other countries do the same as well. At least, be consistent in your moral depravity.
None gives a f sadly. Evil world
You gotta appreciate the fact that Johnny takes his time to put these pieces together and not just mindlessly jump on these issues like almost everyone else. Great insights!
It’s unfortunate how folks are confusing me commending a good video to think I’m in agreement with all he claimed. Of course not. A good production needs its own research and hardwork. That’s what I commend.
Fantastically edited and visually very good. Information is not reflective of reality. Scale of deaths (1:10 since Oct 7th) and UN interaction with Israel (years of condemnation and now accusation of genocide) are not reflected at best, and masked at worst.
He actually is only telling half truths.
He not telling the whole story .that's a fact
he is hardly biased
He barely explained anything that isn't explained a thousand times by anyone else.
Impressive graphics but bias is definitely there. Btw what are these? just your opinions right? How do you know exactly why or what each of these countries' ideologies and strategies are? Are you this sole unique special person that has sole intelligence into what how and why any of them do what they did and will do??? 😂 stick to showing great graphics that'll do.
2:47 Israel also bombed the southern part of Gaza after telling the civilians to go there. This isn’t just Egypt saying 2 million people can’t enter because Sinai can’t support that kind of population increase and Israel will never let them return (based on the entire history since Israel was formed).
That’s just wrong, most of what you said is wrong… I’ll be happy to discuss it further but only if you agree to keep the conversation civil👍
Enough with the US getting involved in stupid middle eastern wars. For fuck sake” we can’t even take care of our ….
Thank you for all of the informative videos Johnny! A bit disappointed that the overall history of the region before October 7th wasn’t covered. It provides perspective to the overall bigger picture.

Yeah, like israel literally committed war crimes before this war
@@johnnyharriscan you make an entire video about the israel Palestine conflict.
@johnnyharris I love your videos, I would steongly encourage investigating figures before repeating them, although 7thOct was a tragic, it was a resistance group fighting a zionistic apartheid state that is well known for lying through their teeth. You very confidently said 1400 isrealis were killed, any loss of life is tragic, however, you should have mentioned a disclaimer that those figures were what the isreali government have stated and cant be taken as truth, many of the 1400 deathes were by the idf's own shelling, making the death toll much higher and pointing blame a resistence geoup which may have done some terrible actions, but which suffocated resistence group doesn't (not agreeing with their actions).
As you have a great story telling capability, it was a shame to see a lot being glossed over and repetition of many terms echoed in the media which is dishonest and further peddles a propaganda fooling the mass from the truth.
I hope you can give an honest, nonbias view, right from the start, when this all started, over 80 years ago, tell the story, be honest to yourself and everyone lending their ears, they atleast deserve that much, as we look at history and qusstion how people could have been so cold blooded, heartless and savages, yet we see it happening today - in the internet & social media years, we turn our heads and pretend nothings happening, pointing fingers whilst we cover up the genocide taking place or try justify it, being frightend of being labeled, when only reporting the facts.
Please make a genuinly honest vedio on the matter, youll feel much better than pandering to one group.
Peace & love.
@@r22gamer54 Israel doesn't intentionally try to kill innocent people.

What disappoints you??????
what??
I appreciate you saying you didnt specifically talk about the the israeli v Palestinian conflict but you really left out alot of details and made it seem like israel are conflicted good guys in this scenario. You talked about their occupation briefly in the beginning but essentially started this whole story on the oct 7th attack. You also brought up plans that neighboring countries might have without talking about israels and americas bigger plan. Israel wants all palestinians out of gaza whether theyre hamas or not and thats been a fact for over 75 years with all the crimes and massacres theyve committed on palestinians.
As an Israeli, I appreciate this video that describes the situation very fairly and accurately.
Few points worth mentioning:
1. In the last months normalization talks started between Israel and Saudi Arabia with the US as the middleman.
Israel would gain more regional stability with another country that excepts it existence. Saudi Arabia would get military aid from the US to protect itself again Iran and its proxies, and the US would make another strong ally in the region.
This deal is the worst nightmare possible for Iran as all 3 are enemies of Iran.
2. I'm not sure that the "Don't!" calls were meant to Israel. Israeli officials worked closely with US officials discussing the high-level approach for dealing with Hamas, and I'm pretty sure that they knew and accepted the Israeli plans for ground operations.
3. It's of course only a point of view, and I'm myself not the biggest fan of the Netanyahu's Israeli government, but there is a difference between a country like Iran that calls for the destruction of Israel constantly and Israel that its main goal is to protect Israelis.
Most Israelis don't want this war but see it as a necessity to our existence to eliminate Hamas and weakening this Iran backed axis.
You should ask Netanyahu why he created Hamas

4:57 Actually, the rockets fired by Hamas are "home-made", hence their lack of accuracy.
That said, Iran funds Hamas in different ways, e.g., automatic machine guns, bullets, money, vehicles, training - as you mentioned.
Those "home-made" rockets were able to overwhelm the Israeli iron-dome due to the sheer number of rockets fired at the same time, from different origins, to multiple targets.
Whenever those rockets were fired in reduced quantities, the iron-dome was able to destroy them.
However, the cost induced to Israel, in order to destroy these Hamas' "home-made" cheap rockets, is quite substantial - because, not only are those Israel rocket quite expensive, but also because Hamas has been firing plenty of those lately.
On October 7th, the sheer number of Hamas rockets was too much for the iron-dome to tackle.

- The lasers must be pointed high, to decrease the chance of hitting citizens and citizen infrastructure.

I did notice that too. That felt disengenuous.

@@stamzthehuman897 they high key get billions of dollars in aid. The millions of refugees is over 50 years. Poland took millions of refugees over a few months and still didn't close its borders.
It's because there are two countries blockading Gaza, one of them is Israel and the other is Egypt. Palestine has no friends in the middle east.
Given Israel's formidable military capabilities, including advanced weaponry, the Mossad, and substantial financial support from the US, the question arises: why deploy such overwhelming force against a relatively small group?

Indepth description and unbiased approach. Johnny, You're an example of what journalism should be.
What I find amazing is when the western media talks about the Israeli conflict is the lack of context such as the 1948 Nakba & the false promises that the British government promised Arab independence. Just like the media leaves out the context of the 2014 Maydon coupe, 2015 Minsk Agreements, America’s promise not to expand nato one inch eastwards in relation to the Ukraine conflict.
History is full of the West’s broken promises in the Middle East
Johnny, while we definitely differ politically, I find your videos still very educational and entertaining, and love to know you just want to know the truth.
Now if we could just get politicians to act so nicely when dealing with people who have different beliefs and political leanings. I saw an example of this with the Kentucky governors election. The incumbent was a lot more polite with his ads than the competition was and pleased for our citizens to reach across the isle and cooperate with each other to achieve our goals and wishes. The competition was very mean and pathetic with their ads. The governor showed great restraint and respect for his competition. Why can't all politicians be the same? But that's like asking a lion to be vegan. One can dream, right?.....
@@BackYardScience2000 I consider myself to be an independent, with support for republicans or democrats depending on the certain issue...and I honestly love talking to people with different political ideas. Yes, sometimes you get curse words and "it's a waste of time", but from time to time there are people willing to challenge mine and argument for their ideas and I love that. I think that's the only way we can keep this country together. We need to realize that in the end, we only differ in the way we would solve certain issues, but we can all agree that those issues are needed to be solved. And there's been a couple of times my opinions started changing because someone has way better arguments and facts than I did.

There is a literal sub genre of debunking his videos, they are fun to watch, but they are far from accurate or truthful
is. lam is a cu. rse for humanity
actually this is anything but striving for telling the truth. everything palestine/israel related have been avoided, and the focus of the story became instead only on the bigger picture 😔😔
The cycle of violence going on in Gaza right now reminds me very much of the constant state of other disaffected regions. The Sahel, the Levant, etc. Each of these are being defined by multiple layers of perscribed violence and retaliation. The question I far often come to when looking at these problems? What will it take to break the cycle? Im afraid to say the answer is never clear cut.
Colonialism specialty is destabilization, Israel supported H4m4s at the beginning because they didn't want Palestine to have an actual government, they don't even recognize Palestine as a country, H4mas existence is very convenient for the dehumanization of Palestinians, you can see the videos of Israelis calling Palestinians "animals". This narrative also allows them to keep taking land and keeping the apartheid.
The borders in the MIddle East and Sahel were made by colonizers for their benefit, not the people living there. This ensures constant warfare and instability. Israel's creation led to dispossession of Palestinians who lived there for centuries.
A destruction of a end would break the cycle...but the thing is a winner won't break the cycle..and sooo
Hamas carried out the operation in its official territory recognized by the international community. What does Israel have to do with it? 1:28
It's not a war It's genocide.. and not all Palestinians are hamas .. i really like ur work and i really care u truly understand the conflict
you mean "The Genocide is Spreading" ?
This really is a serious threat that could escalate at any moment.
Do you think the Arabs or Iranians have the balls to attack Israel? It seems like they'll just continue to bark while Israel cleans out everything in Gaza...
Extremely serious
Well this issue was always there and the current circumstance is not something that can escalate to; it has already escalated. Israel will conduct a military operation into Gaza regardless of what anyone else says.
It's similar to how the US reacted after 9/11. The question is what happens after, if Israeli government learns from the US's mistakes and tries not to do something stupid like the US invasion of Iraq or focuses on accomplishing its goals.
That’s why there needs to be an urgent ceasefire
is. lam is a cu. rse for humanity
Thank you very much. Please dive deeper into the history of this conflict and describe what has been going on over the past 100 years between these two countries and why this conflict has not ended.
Is it negligence to not mention the near events that escalates Hamas’ response on October 7th or a deliberate cut off for the sake of the video length? also, some fact checking is needed e.g. Prime minister of Egypt at the start of all this said “we will not allow forcible displacement of Palestinians” so context here is important !
Thanks for providing such a rich context for this. Great research and video, as always!
Where is the context? He's ignored 75 years of it.
@@anti-thatcry
Informative and direct. Thank you for great journalism Johnny !
Pro Israel video
Great really super neutral journalism with absolutely no bias at all.
Lol, you fail to mention USA veto the cease fire declaration
Out of curiosity, which part of what he said would you consider pro Israel?@@yay568
i could tell this was a pro israel video within the first 15 seconds💀
the keyword is OCCUPATION, decades of OCCUPATION led to this
You forgot to mention this didn't start on 7th of October
You're right, it started around 650 ad after Muhammads death when an Islamic caliphate decided to conquer Jerusalem and build a mosque on top of temple mount
@@lIIllIlIII The Israel-Palestine conflict has deep historical roots, with key events tracing back to the early 20th century. However, the ongoing war, often referred to as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, started in earnest in the mid-20th century. Key dates include:
1. **Early 20th Century Tensions**: The roots of the conflict can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the rise of nationalist movements among both Jews and Arabs in the region, then part of the Ottoman Empire.
2. **British Mandate Period**: Tensions increased during the British Mandate of Palestine (1920-1948), with both Jewish and Arab communities seeking control of the land.
3. **1947-1948**: The United Nations proposed a partition plan in 1947, which was accepted by Jewish leaders but rejected by Arab leaders. This led to the 1947-1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine, which escalated after the declaration of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948, and the subsequent Arab-Israeli War.
4. **Post-1948 Conflicts**: Since the establishment of Israel in 1948, there have been multiple wars and intifadas (uprisings), including major conflicts in 1956, 1967 (the Six-Day War), 1973 (the Yom Kippur War), and subsequent clashes and uprisings such as the First Intifada (1987-1993) and the Second Intifada (2000-2005).
Thus, while the conflict's origins are complex and deeply rooted in history, the war in its current form began in the mid-20th century, particularly around the time of Israel's establishment in 1948. Even hitler when the US asked him not to invade other countries he mentioned Palestine and not Israel because it didn't even exist, so with the new Israel terrorist state it only gotten worse
@@lIIllIlIII💯 %
Resistance fighters in Gaza do not use civilians as human shields; they face the Israeli occupiers directly.
Great content. I knew you were good but now you’ve confirmed to me that you have some of the most factual and correct content out there
Ehhhhh I won't go that far lol
@@JokeswithMitochondriahey mate I got curious about ur username so decided to check on ur profile. Wasn't disappointed lmao
@@anameisntenoughoh damn u r right
@@JokeswithMitochondria together with the Vox video, is one of the good. I have followed this conflict for so long. and I just found out that Israel treat Palestinians less than prisoner of war
First of all this has nothing to do with iran.
2: you know why Egypt didn't open its borders?!
Because they know this is just what israel wants, ethnic cleansing, and displacement of the native Palestinian population. Also the GAZANS made it clear they don't want to leave their land, as they already live in gaza as refugees from areas around that the israeli occupation forces kicked them out of. Completely biased and has nothing to do with real journalism. Free 🇵🇸
Nice video! 👍 I think it'd also be good to include how Hamas was even formed in the first place, and Israel's relationship/involvement in that.
It’s all political cards they use it when they want and destroy it later no sincere intention of resolving this conflict but rather keeping it going and taking advantage of it
If I’m right Israel created Hamas to weaken the previous resistance groupe in Palestine and be able to take more ground and control but it backfired
No it did not, hamas was created in the late 80s long before it got any support from iran, i think we need to normalize armed resistance against illegal occupation, without putting labels that shows the resistance as a group of people who benefits from the conflict
@@alaaldinobeid384am I understanding you correctly that you want society to normalise the action of Hamas?
yes!!!!
1:27 bro what they fight according to Islamic law they can't even hurt a tree or crops or civilians they just fight with the army if this is violence and terrorism then what are wars all about?
Thank you Johnny and Harris for this short and informative video. I preferred this type of journalism rather than my local news channels.
They are different persons?
@@rawtrahul Sometimes it seems that way maybe. But they aren't afaik ;)
You meant to say Johnny sins and Johnny Harris the former wasn’t part of this production. lol.
Real OG knows that they're different person (Johnny fan of beanie basically a cool uncle and Harris is a boring one that wears not fancy orange jacket)
Johny and your team, usually make good videos, but this one is a big mistake.
Talking about this war only from the geopolitical perspective without presenting the key elements of its historical context is wrong.
Facts and theories without context don't help people to understand what is going on, the attack of Hamas is a reaction to something, Would you talk about the atomic bomb dropping on Hiroshima without covering the context?
1. The occupation, displacement, and oppression of the Palestinian people since 1948 have to be mentioned.
2. The sons and daughters of thousands of people who were removed from their land by Israel and are today in refugee camps+Gaza+WB have undeniable reasons to be unhappy.
3. The Israeli army justifies dropping a bomb in a residential area because there is a Hamas leader, there. Would they do the same if the Hamas leader were in a shopping center in Tel Aviv?
4. How many innocent children must be killed in Gaza for Israel to understand that what they are doing is wrong?
5. Ideologies arising out of oppression, injustice, and suffering can not be destroyed with more violence, the war has the opposite effect, it is radicalizing more people.
6. The only solution to this conflict is using honest compromise and negotiation that address the original problems created in 1948.
7. Israel's government is single-handedly creating antisemitism, I am sure that Israel has a lot of honest and peace-loving people, but not in their current government.
8. If half of the money used in weapons and bombs in this war, were used to fund the development of Palestine people, imagine all the prosperity that could be created.
9. Hamas is not just a group of people that can be killed, it is an ideology in response to violence, resentment, and injustice.
I would appreciate it if you spot some light on how the world is changing dramatically after the 7th of October, and what are we to expect in the short and long terms! Thank you for your videos that help to understand what is going on! Keep it up!
You must have a reason for asking, what is your opinion about it?
What was happening to Palestine since 1948?
Bro. You’re saying the same narrative as the main stream media. Please stop
