The conflict between Israel and Hamas is moving to a full scale ground invasion, which could lead to a massive regional war. Because this isn’t just a war between Israel and Hamas- other countries, militaries, and militias are watching what’s happening in Gaza, and they all have their own agendas.

Johnny Harris the best in the documentary game. Period
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
Muslim brothers don't worry we will help you 😂
@@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?
@@CheriShin21ofc it's an ethnic cleansing, and the Jews and Christians live perfectly normal in Muslim Arab countries
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.
The cries of an Israeli and a palestinian sound the same to me

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.
@@MohamadHmidan-mj8cm 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.
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.
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.
@@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?
Love this video you break everything down so anyone can understand what exactly is going on thank you keep up the awesome videos
Honestly, this video simplifies things way too much. Starting from Oct 7th is incredibly misleading; and while I understand that you can only fit so into a video, people really need the history of Israel and Palestine to understand why this is happening.
He has a video on the other stuff
No you’re just a little slow. The title of the video is literally how the war is spreading. He has other videos covering the history of the war. It would took you 2 seconds to click on his channel and see that.
@@Mari-gn8su What are the corresponding videos called? Wouldn't it be good to link them so you have context?
*edit*
Anyway tho, it wouldve been completely amazing of me to do that. But then, the principle is not addressed, and people like bro will continue to leave negative feedback without taking the time to double-check their information before inputting it. It is unfair to the content creators who make their work widely available.
This specific war started at 7th of October, the Israeli-palastinian conflict has a longer history and you could say that the October 7th attacks are a response to arrests made at al-aqusa mosque like Hamas leadership would like you to believe but in reality these arrests aren't a new thing that happened only this last year and an attack in the scale of 7th of Oct is.
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.
Hamas was elected democratically in 2006, by 44 percent of the population
Well notice its always islam that refuses to compromise on regular mutually beneficial or fair terms
The children are the only innocents. That country has been run by either Hamas or PLO for decades. They know whom they were harboring.
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.

its not very difficult to understand.
How did Isreal get their nukes when other counties are warned not to?
AMERICAAA FUCK YAAA
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.
america supports all settler occupation states that are oppressing the people from the middle east and therefore gives hella money and weapons to them

@@UndertakerFromWWE I agree but maybe Democrats took over UA-cam
@@UndertakerFromWWE The censorship is exactly the opposite in my experience
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.

Great video as always, though I wished you elaborated as to what caused the powder keg to explode and caused Hamas to launch the attack (whether or not one agrees is totally another matter but context here matters a lot, as mentioned by the UN Secretary General on how these events did not happen in vacum)
Thank you for actually showing everything with a non biased view and differentiate Hamas from Palestine unlike many other, the neglecting of the difference is causing misinformation and hate towards innocents.

This really needs a follow up video!
Thank you! very informative, more people should watch this
I’ve always supported your content Johnny and I appreciate the attempt at a neutral approach, but I was disappointed to see you avoid mentioning the Palestinian death toll at the time of making this video (currently 11,000+, including 4000+ children and 3000+ women). It would have painted the picture a lot more clearly as the battle is ongoing, and the death toll is only increasing on one side at the moment. While on the other side, Israel has just officially revised down the Israeli death toll from 1400 to 1200 from the Hamas attack. This shows that the credibility of figures is questionable on both sides and thus if at all to be mentioned, they must both be mentioned. I believe it dehumanizes Palestinians when figures are not clearly and accurately reported for both sides, and thus not providing a just and fair representation of the situation.
Probably doesn't want to get demonetized by youtube.
Agree!
Palestinian death toll numbers are everywhere, everyone is watching the news. The point of this video is to educate people about the growing war threat. Plus the Israeli death toll is still countable, Palestinians are still being killed making this toll infinite. He has used the word "skyrocketing". Sometimes we need to focus on the bigger picture than to complain about comparatively smaller issues (like the right death toll numbers)
Exactly 😢
I wanted to comment something like this… feels disappointingly biased 😔
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.
I am really disappointed by the introduction about october the 7th, with no actual contextualisation to the point where it's misleading.
You disappointed? Dude, It's Johnny "CIA propaganda" Harris! That's his thing!
Man I just discovered u and I’m gonna end up watching every video you’ve made hell yea
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.
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
Bruv
Western countries have done a fine job of equating anything negative about Israeli policy as antisemitic. Concurrently, any support of Palestinian interests is equated to terrorist support because of Hamas' and Hezbollah's existence. As an American, often I feel like I'm only "allowed" to support one side despite having mixed opinions.
With those choices, why bother making a decision? Everyone else has done so for you.
that's because the us upper brass is largely ran by jews/zionists.
You are allowed to have whatever opinion you want. Think for yourself. And Hamas and Hezbollah exist for a reason--decades of occupation and oppression, which are also forms of violence. Terrorism is always a response to something.
@@shiny_x3exactly this all started because of the british palestine was fine jews, christians and muslims lived in harmony if only the ottmans didnt lose WWI
@@shiny_x3That’d be a fair argument if they were indeed fighting for their people, but they’re not. Hamas doesn’t care for it’s citizens because 2/3 are technically refugees not “true” Palestinians as said by Hamas. Also Hamas has a clear objective to clear Jews from “River to the Sea” as said in Interviews from Hamas leaders. Let’s also not pretend like any Muslim countries have any Jews or matter of fact any diversity of any type. Israel is more alike then those countries of hate, everyone in the West who supports these terrorist groups would also be the first to get targeted if the chance was there.
Thank you for doing this research.. It very accurately describes the situation even a month later
Y’all need to be sharing this stuff.
All we need is to Free Palestine from Israel apartheid oppression
You forgot to mention the part where its a genocide
Thank you for posting this to educate people.
thank you for explaining this in a way that I can make sense of this horrifying situation.
The video is NOT CORRECT and Hamas is just a small part of the palestinian resistance against Israely occupation that started ( the occupation ) since 1947 ( this has nothing to do with Iran or Iran proxies ) , please kindly watch this video that has the original full story , and has subtitles in different languages including english
ua-cam.com/video/f0oy-NicIgE/v-deo.htmlsi=__8fHIGKU5z8gzU0
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.
lol
His too biased to do that
@@Twinioo that is true
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.
Over 30000 tons of bombs have been dropped on Gaza. To put this into perspective, US used to drop 7500 tons on Afghanistan in a year. Israel dropped 30k tons in a month. Also Afghanistan is 1800 times bigger than Gaza strip
This is blatantly false, there were 1600-7500 different munitions dropped per year in Afghanistan depending on the year
Further, estimates for isreal are at 25000 tons right now
@@KingDavid747you have issues
@@KingDavid747extremely impressive. It to mention Hamas hides among civilians and uses them as human shields.
Afghanistan committed one act of terror and by a terrorist organization independent from the military, Hamas committed acts of terror on Israel by specifically targeting civilians with its military.
@@asherstribe5695human shields? are they using hospital? one hospital that israel bombed because it "was" used by "hamas" (idf said),and then was confirmed by the doctors in the hospital that there's no "hamas" hiding?😂, don't forget they bombed the palestine refugee camp that had more than 5k+ innocent civilian just to kill 10-15 hamas?😂
War crime!!!!
well as the person who live in Iran and know this side of war, your report and documentary and things you said in Iran side was accurate. i was wonder and you deserve support for ur documentary. thanks.
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.
@@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.

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.
Great video man, well done.
Ppl in the war & ppl who’re not really need to call on the lord & need to pray, try not to be scared & trust in God & then praise him for all that he’s done & when the war stops. These wars just need to stop! We all really need to pray to God to step in‼️🙏
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!

@@querty985
Starting with Israel’s retaliation
Blaming Netanyahu and Occupation for everything
Calling Hamas a resistance
Implying bombardments are indiscriminate
Praising Qatar
Implying that Hesbollah may be dragged in by Israelis while it was the Israelis who were attacked and Hesbollah closely coordinates with Hamas
Ignoring larger context of Arab nations being in the process to make peace with Israel. Almost every expert says this was designed to disrupt normalization
The list goes on…
How is this unbiased if he forgets to claim: 1. Israel opened an attack to remove a terrorist isis like group, governing Gaza, holding hostage 240 Israeli hostages they kidnapped in the massacre, including children, women and elderly.
2. He claimed a few times and loved saying that israel is “bombing civilians”, but neglected to state that israel has been warning civilians to leave every targeted area prior to an attack (no military calls and drops flyers to areas before they attack), while Hamas intentionally and forcefully holds civilians purposely, as a known terrorist combat tactic, in order to a. Protect themselves. B.create more propaganda against Israel.
Totally biased video. Not surprised after seeing how he briefly covered the region in the past, and taking in consideration some of his other biased videos.
Respect for this video from Algeria 🇩🇿
Wonderfully explained. Thank you. ❤
I like how you just mentioned the Israeli death toll and hostages
But never mentioned the Palestinian death toll which is at least 10,000 at the time of writing half of which being children
I like how you don't mention hamas using Palestinian children and vulnerable people as human shields to elicit sympathy from the international community after they provoke Israel with a mass slaughter of innocents. Acting as if they are targeting the kids. It's hamas who don't care whether children live or die, not Israel.
Who started the war think about that my friend also massacring them did israel massacre or only bb and about the girl who was beheaded and raped by hamas
@@pdk9505the people killed are not from Hamas they are civilians they did not make any decisions. Civilians are innocent on both sides of war
Surely many Palestinian died but the number is made up by Hamas. We can’t know how many are actually dead and what is the amount of terrorists. It’s tragic on both sides but I don’t see a way Israel could react differently.
@@pdk9505Israel started the war in 1948, it never stopped, until you don't realize that, you are just brainwashed
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
Truly!
“There will be wars and rumors of wars”
I loved this video and your motion graphics were great. I have one recommendation. This may be a personal complaint though I'd still like to share. The color choices for your map graphics were a little confusing for me. It was hard to tell what the focus of what you were talking about was. If I could explain it better I think I wanted to naturally focus on the darker colors in your maps but you used lighter pastel blues to bring focus to areas of interest. It confused me a bit. Maybe that is just my brain so take it with a grain of salt. I would have switched the darker color you used for bodies of water with the areas you wanted to bring attention to. I only leave constructive criticism on videos I truly enjoyed so hopefully it comes across as a compliment! And it's not a script or content criticism just something that would make it easier for me to watch it!
Why didn’t you mention the number of civilians casualties in Gaza? You made sure to decry the actions of Hamas as senseless terrorist attacks, yet you didn’t mention how many Gazans have been killed by Isreali air strikes at the time of recoding. It’s a massively important detail. Please consider adding that in. It’s extremely important.
I think its clear everybody knows how high the number of civilians casualties since october 7th
Hamas should not be controlling gaza and israel should be less aggressive to its neighbors if they dont want to be kicked out how the jews kicked out of europe
All the deaths in Gaza is on Hamas, and hamas only
because hamas inflates the numbers. there are no numbers yet just estimates.
He didn’t mention the 80 years of them being treated as dogs on their own country.
not to mention that the bloody occupation is ongoing harder and harder for 70+ years in Palestine and more lands are taken FORCIBLY in the West Bank so Resistance of any kind is expected
the way you started and where you started is really telling. you are omitting a crucial aspect.
Okay 👌 😢I love this,keep it up my friends😊
Great explaining the current state of the situation however I was hoping you were going to unpack how we got here going back in history as you have done in many other videos.
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.
Interesting how he forgot to mention that collective punishment is a warcrime.
Who voted Hamas into power in 2006? There you go
Yes Hamas should be sanctioned for collective punishment against their own people! Egypt should also be sanctioned for not taking in refugees and effectively blockading people in a war zone
@bondipodiatry8929 hi genius, the settlements near gaza that are attacked on 7th of October are empty right now, why don't you tell the israel government to accept them there? I mean it's already their land and your honest government said it would be temporary so they should accept the innocent civilians instead of killing them.
@@Dan-pm8xvby this logic you want every israeli dead for voting for netanyahu because of the crimes the idf has been commiting in gaza and the west bank for decades, collective punishment is a war crimes, civilians are not militants and it’s unacceptable to target them
@@abdelrahmanmohammed-abdofa4286I mean there is no problem admitting civilians into the land and granting them equal rights. But the problem is the moment Israel gives away land to the Palestinians, those lands will be used by Hamas or other militant groups to attack Israel. The whole reason why they occupied the West Bank and brought in settlers to change the demographic is to reinforce their borders and protect their state. If Hamas had total control over the West Bank. Not even the Iron Dome system would be able to protect Israel's major population centers like Tel Aviv. I'm not justifying Israel's action I'm just pointing out the reason. As long as the other side won't recognise Israel and keep attacking it, the Israelis will be more on the offensive. This whole war is messed up and of course Palestinians have been the ones who have suffered the most. But it's high time they find an efficient leadership who thinks long term rather than Hamas who only cares about sowing chaos.
Thank you so much for your well informed videos. Very educational
keep us updated in your shorts
So the conflict in that region started in October 😐. These issues go back to 1940s . Not last month.

@@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.

As an Iranian, I would like to express that if the goal is to promote freedom in Palestine, Israel, Syria, and Yemen, it is imperative to address the situation in Iran by working towards a change in its government, which would ultimately benefit the Iranian people.

@@Lala-kc2fw secular government with freedom to practice whatever religion but Persia was Zoroastrian way before Islam♥️
Unfortunately government change must occur by Iranians hands, as the war on terror shows, invading countries for regime change is a disaster. It is for you to bring freedom to your country

This is the most balanced and sobering take on the situation I've seen. You nailed it.
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
Indeed , lacks a lot of context and makes it seem like it started all in the 7th of October out of thin air
@@mple2836exactly i never started on 7th october it started in 1948 it started in 2006,1967,2014
It's all planned and the players either in or want to be, make it clear.
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.
Agreed, he is misinformed and this shows little journalistic integrity.
All of his videos are like that.
@@RebekkaHayI'm genuinely curious to know what is he misinformed about.
Anas Abu Srour, Executive Director of Aida Youth Center, was abducted by IDF while heading back to home to Bethlehem from Ramallah. No information has been given about his condition nor the circumstances of the arrest. He has a wife and newborn baby that need him along with all the children he serves at the youth center within the refugee camp in Bethlehem. Please share in hopes that he may be returned safely.
As Israel releases prisoners, they are simultaneously ensuring that those released prisoners are replaced with more from the West Bank. This must stop now!
Thank you for your videos.
Thank you to you and your team for putting together this video. It was so well paced with clear explanations that were easy to follow
The map graphics especially were mesmerising honestly.

Hello, after 5 months.
You should cover the ongoing conflict in the Red Sea
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
He did this intentionally. He pro Zionist
Here's a hard truth that needs to be heard: Telling half the truth isn't the same as telling the whole truth. As someone looking at this through historians lens, the bias towards the occupier's narrative is glaringly obvious. It's almost as if there's a fear of repercussions, similar to what other social media creators have faced. To be honest, silence would have been better than half-truths. This situation has seriously made me question the credibility of what I've learned from you about other conflicts.
Exactly!!!!!
Johnny should not have made this video unless he told the entire truth with all the facts and numbers. Leaving out facts is as dangerous as lying
It’s sad because I found some of his old videos of the West in the Middle East to be incredibly eye-opening but it seems like his content has become more and more influenced by the potential of repercussions.
Well, then? What is the other half of the truth not being told? I'm all ears.
I don't get it, is he biased towards Israel or palestine?
