A Plan to Remake the Middle East 

“”The only safe and sure way to destroy your enemy is to make him your friend”. - Mark Twain”” - Hank McCoy, Beast (X-Men)

Sounds like this deal would be a big win for oil barons and weapons manufacturers and a major loss for human rights and climate change. From Biden or Trump, I would expect nothing less.

You mean someone has a plan to remake a huge region of the world? Don't tell me it's two people and they are called Sykes and Picot! It's the epitome of hubris!

6:45 Of course it’s about selling weapons! Haha!

Please America, just don't...

oh god, outsiders making plans for Gaza, again. America making plans for people thousands of miles away. thousands of US soldiers landing in Gaza. hashtag genius

I find Biden's comments to the Jewish community completely baseless and lacking in any sincerity. You ignore many individuals and groups in the Jewish community and their words and actions in support of Palestinians. Your credibility is shot when you condemn the prejudices and discriminating policies of one group while ignoring the oppressive acts another. "There is no peace with injustice."

AP News interviewed Hamas leaders in April 2024, and they said they will disarm in exchange for a 2 state solution along 1967 borders as recognized by previous UN resolutions. They've been open to this 2 state solution since they updated their charter in 2017. But for some reason everyone still says Hamas wants to destroy Israel and expel Jews. This is not true. They've been meeting with the PA in Moscow to discuss a new government coalition. When Hamas and other Palestinian leaders say "end the occupation" they just mean the military control/apartheid/blockade and illegal settlements within internationally recognized Palestinian territories. Even though there's a movement for a single secular democratic state for both Israeli Jews and Palestinians to live together, the majority of Palestinians just want to cut their losses and accept a 2 state solution along 1967 borders for the sake of peace and self determination free from Israeli occupation and blockade. The majority of Israelis currently don't want a 2 state or a single secular binational state, and neither does the government. The 2 state will need to be forced by international community. The US needs to stop enabling Israel's illegal occupation and ethnic cleansing, and stop being an impediment to Palestinian statehood along 1967 borders by not voting Yes with the rest of the world in the UN.

13:00 Gazprom style construction deal teed up by Trump before 10/7 still pending completion of demolition phase.

The Palestinians have "lost out" - in other words, peace, a normal life, prosperity, all the aid helping them. But - they have to stop killing Israelis... Yes, I can see what a huge loss they would feel. With no Hamas, they may even get leaders and a government who looked after them! Horror! Impossible, unreasonable!

Recently Hamas has stated they would cease their fight with Israel if a Palestinian state was established. Also, why would the Palestinians choose Hamas as their gov, if they had a state?

the new m-e plan was already determined before the attacks

I hope that the independent Palestinian State joins the BRICS! ❤

"If and when Israel and Hamas reach a deal for a cease-fire, the United States will immediately turn to a different set of negotiations" Why? There is no place for Hamas at the table. It will and should be dismantled if there is any hope of remaking the Middle East. Perhaps the US should focus on that.

Interesting discussion but your suggestion that Hamas is in anyway interested in a the creation of a Palestinian state in anything other than the entire territory between the river and the sea is not supported by any evidence.

On the 7th, it is crucial to understand that there were no direct attacks on civilians, only collateral damage. Out of the 1148 total names on haaret dataset, 473 military and 675 were civilians. Ratio of civilians to military personnel killed on the 7th was 1 . 4 : 1 - lower than any of the iTf "mowing" operations, which has a ratio of 7 : 1 According to UN OCHA data from 2008 to 2022; The collateral damage on the 7th was significantly lower than any of the ITf "mowing" operations, which had a ratio of 7:1 with 1,023 military personnel out of 6,541 total. On the 7th, with 473 military (418 were iTf military personnel, 55 belonged to the police) out of 1148 total, the ratio of civilians to military personnel was a mere 1.4:1 When including all casualties, not just deaths, the collateral damage ratio of the "mowing" operations is a staggering 162:1 From the 161,233 accumulated civilian casualties over only 14 years of "mowing" operations. A 162 :1 ratio means that for every 162 civillians, 1 military personnel is a casualty. The 7th had a ratio of 1.4:1, more than a hundred times lower. The 473 are - 55 soldiers, 13 privates, 59 corporals, 200 sergeants (45 of whom were sergeant majors), 48 commanders, 32 lieutenants, 5 lieutenant colonels, 6 colonels, 37 officers, 10 inspectors, 6 intendents, and 2 Lance Corp.

This is relevant because of the Oded Yinon Plan.

Let me guess, it will be an economic zone with Jewish oligarchs and merchants making ungodly amounts of money. You people should hear yourselves talk sometimes

Saudi Arabia sees the sense of moving on. They're right. A Palestinian state anywhere near Israel is a nonstarter.

Palestinian statehood was on life support pre october 7th. Hamas pulled the plug
