America’s Middle East Peace Plan: Can It End the War? 

> I'm not going to comment on that > Proceeds to make a VERY suggestive comment on just that Who the fk wrote that statement for him?

There's a script error at 17:30 I think. From the context it was palestinian statehood that was recognized by Spain, Norway and Ireland (and then Slovenia), not Israeli statehood as Simon says in the Video. :)

Nobody cares what the UN thinks…not the USA, not the UK 🇬🇧 (where I’m from), not Iran or China. We all ignore them which as a whole is clearly correct…they have no power and no authority. They are inconsistent and pathetic. As for this “plan”…if you think about it, it can be outlined as the following; ‘Everybody stop and go back to how it was before’. Great plan…what a prick

And what will change? Absolutely nothing

The US will do whatever Israel tells it to do. So you're probably exactly right, a big no.

@@AlexanderTheGoodEnough you got it backward, bud. Israel will do whatever we force them to do, but what incentive do we have to force them to lay down their weapons and be ran over by Islamic extremists? Israel has been our most reliable, helpful, and consistent ally in that region. Why would we want to put them in harm's way just to appease a radicalized group that doesn't actually care about the well-being of it's people?

@@KUSHstaysFRESHso why didnt us do anything about the hundreds of times israel spied and stole a lot of important stuff? also look up a video of prime minister of israel admitting us is under their thumb

@@KUSHstaysFRESH still think it's what I said. I just keep looking back at how everything in that theater has been historically handled. I do just think, to your point on US leverage, that there is something there, but that it is less than what is leveraged by Israel on US politicians. So it's a balance of power issue driving policy, and that the US policy favors doing what it's told by a foreign nation. Which I do think is rather unique to Israel.

@@AlexanderTheGoodEnoughalso AIPAC??????? how are you forgetting the people paying our politians are representing a foreing country no matter how close the nations are why cant canada bribe our politicians like israel?

What is that old saying? “Assumptions make an arse out of you and me” 😂

@@mitchconner403 a true enough saying, but some things are common sense. Every morning I wake up expecting the sky to be blue, politicians to be corrupt, and the middle east to be a shit show. These are all assumptions, I have yet to be proven wrong.

​@@mitchconner403Some things are very predictable

@@mitchconner403I believe it’s “when you assume, you make an ass of u and me”. But close enough that it makes sense

​@@Darkstar_Dayne yes, as it is predictable what the minimal required conditions of both sides are. For israel the minimum is getting back all hostages and the end of hamas being a functional organization. For palestine the minimum are reparations and their own state. All this can only ever happen under an UN security force and truckloads of cash. So yeah, the answer is no.

Biden can't even remember his own name these days. He is so obviously losing his marbles and the people around him are denying if like we are all morons. He won't make it another 6 months. Not dead but just completely incoherent. So not much will change.

Exactly

​@@GoofBall-se6borussia has made no peace plan for israel. They abstained from voting on this us peace plan in the un security council earlier today. In short, if russia suggests something, you know you should avoid it.

This is partly Carter's fault. Israel tried to give Gaza back to Egypt with the Sinai, Carter forced Israel to take it because Egypt didn't want them.

​@@kreiner1Yeah Israel is a parliamentary republic.

Simon doesn’t know anything about geopolitics he just spits out cnn or bbc

Who's we? I don't think anyone wants the US to be involved in the rebuilding of Gaza other than US military contractors, of course. Do you realize that it was Hamas that rebuilt Gaza after every one of Israel's bombing campaigns in Gaza (or as Israel likes to call it, "mowing of the lawn") since 2006? In fact, due to Israel's illegal 17-year siege on Gaza that prevents the entry of most construction supplies such as cement, pipes, steel, etc., in addition to essential survival goods into the territory, Hamas and their tunnels have been essential in facilitating the reconstruction of Gaza's infrastructure since the early 2010s.

Yeah Israel has just signed up for a forever war

Hamas is too stubborn and calloused to care enough about the people of Gaza to leave, Israel is too threatened and determined to leave. This war does not have a path forward to peace without these facts changing, and it does not seem likely they will.

the short term solution as a KD ratio

@@inoroth2001 It's not just Hamas that is a problem. If the vast majority of Palestinians let alone Gazans were actively protesting against Hamas, they would cease to exist in short order. As it stands, Hamas' popularity is nearly double that of their main rivals Fatah and rose six points in the most recent poll. If there were an election today, Hamas would win in a landslide. We can hate it all we like, but the actual facts on the the ground are that Hamas and their brutal tactics are widely popular among Palestinians.

Biden has two words for people like you: "Let's go Brandon!"

The president title in Israel is only ceremonial. Their parlament i.e. Prime minister, holds practically all of the executive power.

@@NightRogue77 yet you still came

hamas is simply the latest evolution of civilian hate for the atrocities committed by israel for generations.

I don't think Taiwan itself cares about being recognized anyway. They have been a big proponent of keeping the status quo with China, not to poke the bear if you will.

@@tyrionas That's precisely the point. The moment Taiwan goes out and says "we want the world to call us the **independant** Taiwan" or what have you (with enough volume to be taken seriously), China is sure to invade the very next day. Taiwan probably want to be seen as an independant nation but are choosing basic survival tactics instead of pride.

This myth is honestly bonkers to me. Israel has been occupying and colonizing Gaza and the West Bank for 70+ years. All the while, they've continuously passed legislation that disenfranchises Palestinians to the point where Google Maps stopped considering it a country (very quietly) back in 2011 - and no one batted an eye. The average age of Palestinians is somewhere in the low 20s. They literally have not been alive long enough to be thinking of a long-term "strategy" like that. Oct 7th was strictly a reactionary attack. The only people who were looking for it to happen was Netenyoohoo's government, because they thought forcing Palestinians to violence would give them an excuse for ethnic cleansing. They didn't expect the global population to push back against them as it has.

​@@SirSpenace fair enough. You can carry on fighting. But in case you've forgotten again. Starting/fighting a war has consequences. You lose stuff(land, resources, control etc). And you can't reclaim any of it by crying or bitching in the future. Germany will never get poznan back from Poland, it's long lost

@@brucemclaren- Palestinians didn't "start a war." They were the only people post WWII that would accept large swaths of Jewish refugees into their country. When Britain realized this, they decided to go ahead and promise that entire parcel of land to three different factions upon the completion of the war. Probably the most violent of which being the Zionists. Zionist policies following WWII are what led to the disenfranchisement of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Zionism created Hamas, then claimed to be a victim when Hamas did exactly what the Zionists expected (retaliate).

​@@brucemclaren-The Israelites got their land back after, what? Close to 2000 years?

Biden’s allies and his family will continue to get rich.

The people who most want this war to continue are the people "over there". Between the US government, Hamas, and the Israeli government, only one of those groups wants the war to end. And it's the US.

As long as the Israeli government feels their domestic population are more upset about the October 7th attack and believes continuing the war reduces the odds of something similar happening again, they likely will continue to stay the course. Hamas exist to destroy Israel, it is core to their charter. They started this war, but have very little say in when it ends as long as they still exist as a cohesive organization... and the little leverage they do have, they refuse to compromise on.

To be fair, an unstable Middleeast does seem to have been online with how it was carved up and power structured post WW1. While anti-semitism and anger towards Israel's treatment of the Palestinian doesn't help, like you point out there are so many competing and often diametrically opposed systems. You have monarchys, you have a theocracy that wants to spread it's views and tolerance monarchies. You have ethnic tribal groups that want land they claim is theirs and a number of dictatorships. You have one or 2 areas where they want their past empires back. And you have numerous groups pissed that the West has been playing king maker for it's benefit for over a century. It could stabilize. But given how Europe and Asia seem to be destabilizing, that seems even less likely.

​@malcire I agree with everything you said. Somethings I wonder, and not to sound like some crazy conspiracist, if the post WW1 carve up of the Middle East was at least in some part done a certain way to ensure there never would be peace and that no matter how some group with always be mad at another, whether it being one group wanting the old borders back or another group wanting to keep the new ones.

You're missing the fact that hamas (& the PLO before them) *live* off of European & American money.

@@icy239 You forget (or never knew) that there were no "old borders" - unless you count the Ottoman Empire....?

Am out at Israel should pull out with Hamas still in place and a "permanent cessation of hostilities". Why the heck would Israel agree to this if it is in its right mind? This is exactly what they had multiple times and has always been breached by Hamas once they had enough rockets back up. So absolutely no sense. No israeli gouvernment could agree to this. I mean, that is literally like asking the iraqi Gouvernment in 2015 to just accept Daesh ...

And again this weird idea that a recognization of a palestinian state would be somehow the goal of Hamas ... Their goal is to extinguish the jews ... FFS, LISTEN to these people ...

And why is that? Also why is the idea that Israel wants peace not preposterous? Israel has been routinely bombing its neighbors since its creation and seems to have nothing but disdain for international law and diplomacy.

Does the IDF want peace?

Exactly, they want a chance to regroup and rearm if anyone has Genocidal intentions. It's them. It was stated in their charter 30yrs ago, and they've held to it.

Nobody is going to follow it Israel already stated their war goals which are contrary to the deal either they are lying to their own people or us but either way they fibbin

Interesting how Israel always concocts a reason for why Hamas is at fault for why it keeps committing massacres of civilians AFTER they get massive backlash about a massacre they've committed and how they never seem to provide even the flimsiest of evidence to corroborate their story. There's literally no way to bomb a field crammed with thousands of tents, each housing one or more families, without causing a mass casualty event. And a bomb doesn't need to hitting a munitions stash for it to set fire to tents built out of scraps of plastic and fabric...you know because bombs explode and cause fires and tents made of scraps of plastic and fabric tend to be highly flammable...

And nothing of value was lost.

THANK YOU! I sometimes wonder just HOW crazy/stupid the world has gotten....

Palestine recieving sovereignty would make things much more confusing. A sovereign state is expected to kill any terrorist organizations operating within their borders. This could work in the West Bank but in Gaza it’s literally impossible because the terrorists control all municipal functions

​@@jasonssavitt5297The stated goal (that is, official policy position) of Hamas is the elimination of the state of Israel. Does that justify what Israel is doing NOW? No, I don't believe so. But it is still important to keep in mind that Hamas would do the same thing if they were capable of it. Go back 20-ish years to Camp David and see what was on offer then. You'll have to see what several different sources say happened, because there is no official record. Wikipedia summarizes it. IMO it's clear enough that Arafat was offered WAY more than they could ever hope to get now. Not even the same universe. The brute fact is that Israel (under different leadership, because it's pointless even talking about what Bibi is willing to offer, as he is already providing it) is not just gonna be like "Sure, just take it all! We don't need this, anyway. We thought about it, and we're just gonna stand down. Take whatever you want, no hard feelings." Whatever one's opinion is, in this world, that is not a thing. I also feel pretty confident that the current Israeli government does not care much that they have increased Hamas's numbers, and probably expected that to happen. That doesn't mean that they believe it will remain that way! What Israel is doing RIGHT NOW is beyond the pale. But Hamas would do the same thing if they could, and, in that scenario, I'd be saying the same thing about Hamas.

@@ayantuinthenow “small arms” like rockets that can reach Jerusalem and Tel Aviv from southern Gaza.. A force of 20k, out of a total population of 2mil… ie Bigger in percentage than the US army…

Same guy that won't admit he was catastrophically wrong on Iraq? No thank you.

Robert Gates? LOL Try again

ur boosting Biden with that quote fyi

"Never underestimate Joe's ability to fk things up". - Barry Obama

Wasn't Robert Gates one of the wmd in Iraq guys?

Russia, China, and Serbia will never forget what happened in Kosovo 1999 :P

You are scaring the isolationists though! They don't have the brain matter to process why a stable global economy is beneficial to American interests.

You mean do the bidding of AIPAC

I'm not sure you meant to say "stable conflicts," but that is actually correct. The US needs stable demand for its weapons and thus will make sure there are conflicts that generate that demand. But you're a bit off on "the back bone of prosperity world wide" part. "Stable markets" are the backbone of prosperity for the 0.1% of mostly Americans who own and profit from the economic gains of multinational corporations. The rest of the world, whether in the US or elsewhere, is almost always materially harmed by the US playing world cop.

@@ayantuinthenow couldn’t be more incorrect. It’s well documented that capitalism has elevated billions of people outside of America out of absolute poverty with steady supplies of medicine and significantly longer life expectancy. The US has overturned awful dictatorships in many countries, usually supported by locals with democratic ideals who push against religious fundamentalism. Why? Democracies are stable, open to trade, and grow reliably; wholly unlike authoritarian communist states. We took the entire country of Iran, the 3rd largest military at the time, in a WEEK. 1 week to cripple them completely. Thats the power of a completely volunteer democratic army. Anti-America is trendy because it’s the big dog, and because they don’t disappear you when you criticize the state. Every other large nation committed atrocities SIGNIFICANTLY worse than anything America as a whole has done, including the few hundred years of the slave trade.

Finally you get it but the one's who watch the mainstream media won't

Who do you think funds Gaza? With actual money, I have to add, not just "vouchers for American products".

@@SafetySpooon The aid is actually mostly in the form of loans to purchase US equipment, not vouchers.

To be fair the US could have done it, the problem were two (in Afganistán at least): 1)Political intrests not letting reconstruction work, due to non competition rules with US economy and 2) Not having the Will or Malice to be as brutal as needed with the locals (thanks to God). Because You can Indeed end Alqaeda and the Talibana with Violence Saddam Husseim did it, but You need to become a monster to do it.

I think our war was on terror in general. So if someone scares another in a country, we'll invade you. That's only slightly a joke. But yeah. American foreign policy is the joke.

Hail hydra 🐙

That's what Biden "cautioned" Netanyahu about before IDF went into Gaza, which delayed military action, but didn't prevent it.

The big difference is that the Middle East is a long ways away from the US and the sense of danger faded with memories of 9-11. Israelis have no place else to go; Palestinians literally live within rock-throwing distance of our children's playgrounds.

His brain has turned to oatmeal. So sad!
