Remember, in the examples he gave, the international community weren't too late to stop genocides because they didn't know about them, they were too late because they ignored them time and again.
When the people with power to stop genocide decided to do genocide then all the international community would do is diplomatic protests and maybe sanction. That clearly doesn't help all the minorities getting axed.
I am Israel. I came to a land without a people for a people without a land. Those people who happened to be here, had no right to be here, and my people showed them they had to leave or die, razing 400 Palestinian villages to the ground, erasing their history. I am Israel. Some of my people committed massacres and later became Prime Ministers to represent me. In 1948, Menachem Begin was in charge of the unit that slaughtered the inhabitants of Deir Yassin, including 100 women and children. In 1953, Ariel Sharon led the slaughter of the inhabitants of Qibya, and in 1982 arranged for our allies to butcher around 2,000 in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila. I am Israel. Carved in 1948 out of 78% of the land of Palestine, dispossessing its inhabitants and replacing them with Jews from Europe and other parts of the world. While the natives whose families lived on this land for thousands of years are not allowed to return, Jews from all over the world are welcome to instant citizenship. I am Israel. In 1967, I swallowed the remaining lands of Palestine - East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza - and placed their inhabitants under an oppressive military rule, controlling and humiliating every aspect of their daily lives. Eventually, they should get the message that they are not welcome to stay, and join the millions of Palestinian refugees in the shanty camps of Lebanon and Jordan. I am Israel. I have the power to control American policy. My American Israel Public Affairs Committee can make or break any politician of its choosing, and as you see, they all compete to please me. All the forces of the world are powerless against me, including the UN as I have the American veto to block any condemnation of my war crimes. As Sharon so eloquently phrased it, “We control America”. I am Israel. I influence American mainstream media too, and you will always find the news tailored to my favor. I have invested millions of dollars into PR representation, and CNN, New York Times, and others have been doing an excellent job of promoting my propaganda. Look at other international news sources and you will see the difference. I am Israel. You Palestinians want to negotiate “peace!?” But you are not as smart as me; I will negotiate, but will only let you have your municipalities while I control your borders, your water, your airspace and anything else of importance. While we “negotiate,” I will swallow your hilltops and fill them with settlements, populated by the most extremist of my extremists, armed to the teeth. These settlements will be connected with roads you cannot use, and you will be imprisoned in your little Bantustans between them, surrounded by checkpoints in every direction. I am Israel. I have the fourth strongest army in the world, possessing nuclear weapons. How dare your children confront my oppression with stones, don’t you know my soldiers won’t hesitate to blow their heads off? In 17 months, I have killed 900 of you and injured 17,000, mostly civilians, and have the mandate to continue since the international community remains silent. Ignore, as I do, the hundreds of Israeli reserve officers who are now refusing to carry out my control over your lands and people; their voices of conscience will not protect you. I am Israel. You want freedom? I have bullets, tanks, missiles, Apaches and F-16s to obliterate you. I have placed your towns under siege, confiscated your lands, uprooted your trees, demolished your homes, and you still demand freedom? Don’t you get the message? You will never have peace or freedom, because I am Israel.

@@bobobobo3142I'm glad you can see what's happening. Thank you. ❤️ In defence of the people of Israel, it is clear that they have been blinded by the propaganda they have been fed over mny years. When you look into the full historical context of this conflict, it becomes clear how pernisciously the refugees from European Death Camps were betrayed by their Zionist leaders. Why did they allow "their people" to be herded into an already destabilised region, instead of insisting on being given a substantial piece of fertile land in Germany as reparation. What a different world we would live in if that had happened. The formidable talent of Jewish story telling, tradition of debate, and 'outsider' status, could have allowed 'The Jewish State' to be recognised a champions and representatives of the disenfranchised.
@@hibahadjadj776 I think every decent person wishes for that. They problem is that we don't want to condemn the perpetrators, which is why this has gone on longer than it should have.
I have been trying to understand mechanism of genocide, one pattern I notice is the perpetrators often bring in a convincing accusation on the intended group. Convincing being the keyword, because thats the only way objective criticism to any propaganda gets deadlocked. As the critics get tangled up in explaining the malicious intents and propaganda, the general public (which includes skeptical people who didn’t have the time or convenience to keep up with it) get overwhelmed by all the to and fro arguments, confusing narratives and decide to stay “neutral”. I feel this ‘neutrality’ is as much a tool as everything in genocide, people are intentionally pushed to collect in that corner, few healthy peer discussions get shut down because of the ‘urgency of the matter!!’, “exploring history and logic when children are dying is cruel!!”. Human conflicts are always complicated, pushing people to form quick opinions from all that they see and hear without even letting them ask questions will lead to exactly what we see today, people say nothing at all or echo whatever they hear loudest at that moment and not commit to this stance beyond a social media post.
“When the Nazis came to take the communists, I remained silent; I wasn't a communist. When they locked up the Social Democrats, I remained silent; I wasn't a social democrat. When they took the unionists, I didn't protest; I wasn't a trade unionist. When they took the Jews, I was silent; I wasn't Jewish. When they came for me, there was no one left to protest.” Martin Niemöller Never stay neutral, always take a stand for your values, especially in the face of death. People might unite with you and if they do not, your stance will inspire future generations.
I don't think the accusations are always convincing. I've seen some accusations against Jews that are absolutely mental. Just look at how much effort Al Jazeera puts into their propaganda. Zero. They know their crowd is already prejudiced, all the propaganda is doing is fueling their anger and hatred and channeling it against the Jews. I know a guy like this, and I can't talk to him, he is absolutely insane. He reads Al Jazeera and bakes his brain on whatever ridiculous thing they say Jews did. He believes really crazy things too--one time he told me it's just as likely a million children are missing in the US because Jews are snatching them, as it is likely that the six million Jews that went missing in WWII went missing due to the Holocaust. Millions of these people are marching all over the world right now, and they're all reading poorly crafted antisemitic propaganda from Al Jazeera.
It’s interesting how you note that overwhelming people with information or corrupting information destroy people who would otherwise take action and neutralizes them. I feel like that’s one thing we are swimming in is a very complicated, often faulty, sea of information eating away at moral certainty.
Combatants for Peace or the other 13 groups that actually work to bring peace....if it's not too late. Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela knew stuff and got the Noble Peace Prize .
@@vortexsux What else do you want them to do ? They have barely any budget. Their role is to survey the world and search for traces and proofs of genocides in all its stages. They do not have the power to do anything outside of warning people. The responsability to stop genocide belongs to states and intergovernmental organizations, not a few people.
Just to add one point: Most people who can do something, thinks they are a decently strong willed, and relatively good person, and will never become part of the perpetrator participating in such atrocities...This can be a dangerous notion to held on to, as this has happened over and over throughout history. The mind en masse can be easily manipulated over time and combined that with a strong "certainty" that: "I'm an rational good person, whose actions can never be that bad", that's the hubris ingredient that binds everything together and brings about the horrors in this video. (great illustrations btw)

As a child I thought it was a thing of the past... Growing up I realized it would still happen but thought it was only possible on "primitive" societies. As an adult, I realized even victims of such atrocities and their descendants can turn into such crimes and now I can count over five genocides on my lifetime. But the later ones, being feed by social media, are the worst.
As a child I never thought I'd be the target of one, now I can't visit my friends across my country's Southern border without risk of being arrested in some places or gunned down by a nutcase in others just for holding hands with my partner or talking with a slightly too masculine voice.
What happened in Syria was horrible too, some children were killed after they criticized president Bashar Al Asad. When people called for justice for kids,they were killed too, Bashar Al Asad Laughed at them publicly and called them (Germs ) he is a doctor by the way! Then the Genocide began, a lot of countries claimed they will enter the war to bring back peace and fight Isis members that were let out of prison during the chios . Then sadly they all took part in the genocide by Air striking civilians, it lasted more than 10 years and Bashar is still in power. North Syria (Edlep territory ) is similar to gaza ,it is out of Bashar's authority and still resisting him. Did I tell you the worst thing? The minority in power were after the majority of common civilians
@@stormymasella6this is interesting I was not aware of this at all could you provide some reading material of a source date to kickstart a search engine
@@stormymasella6, Assad doesn't seem evil. His bureaucratic oppression of the opposition doesn't seem to come from the top, it was ingrained there and grew naturallu out of the homegrown growth of state power that has to suppress right wing sunni radicals in the likes of Hamas. There is no doubt this benefits Israel and American power greatly as a divide and conquer tactic fielded against Syria and Iran. Assad is the same leader just like Modi or Netanyahu, surrounded by right wing authoritarian systems who will do everything to gain power at the expense of dissenting voices. You can see Sisi's Egypt is a much more evil regime, sentencing numerous protesters to death but America and Israel kept quiet.
Very enlightening. I could never understand why people who are "different" are mistreated for it. There's no excuse for it but it has always been going on, whether it's in families, classrooms, or nations.
Ironically, it is the denial of death that motivates average people to commit genocide. The targeted group is symbolized as a harbinger of death, which then helps the persecutors to cope with their inevitable mortality by "killing death" itself. The politicians and those in power use this drive as a way to hold onto power.
It’s absolutely crazy and unsurprising at the same time how these exact things are happening right now. And the most unbelievable part is that some will hear these straightforward facts and see all of the evidence and STILL deny that it is a genocide.
למה? מה ההבדל בין המלחמה בעזה, למה שערב הסעודית עשתה בתימן? זה גם רצח עם? למה 7.10 זה לא רצח עם אבל מה 8.10 זה כן? לפי ההגיון שלך כול מלחמה היא רצח עם כי נפגעים שם אזרחים
How much of the Palestinian unarmed population has been killed? 1%, and only because Hamas is using them as meat shields. Numbers don't lie. 10% of Israel are Arabs, but there are no Jews in Palestine. I agree that there is a genocidal group involved, you are just placing it on the wrong side.

As a descendent from Armenian genocide survivors, I thank you for making this video to help people who aren't directly affected by it or who haven't experienced it first hand to learn how it is for those of us who have experienced it or faced its effects firsthand. My Aunt showed me a picture of our family tree, and there's a clear line that shows all my great-grandfathers siblings have no decendents, except the 3 that got away, and that is a chilling realisation when it clicks that that's why it's the case. I thank God that I don't have to experience it first hand like my ancestors, but I respect them immensely for going through it. I wish that one day we live in a world where due to differences in ones background we won't have to suffer or be discriminated against, and we can only live in a world like that when everyone believes the same. It seems to be an endless battle, but it's one we must fight, because evil only thrives in the absence of good. Silence and suppression is the way of the op[pressors, and while I have many stories passed down in my family about the horrors that occurred, YT's cencors do not allow for the retelling of these stories without heavy censorship, but I understand, the AI can't tell if I'm trolling or being sincere, so better safe then sorry I guess.
This video is about real genocides. İnnocent people dying. Not a group of people trying to commit ethnic cleansing and then getting banished. You didnt survived a thing, armenia is a failed terror state. cry about it
You can't hope for mercy who people that you killed. People were you lived together in a country. And these people are your neighbour too. You were lived in the same street maybe. But the ermenians did the worst thing to their neighbours, when their neighbours in the war time other nations If you search for an example, a single one: Zori Balayan (hocalı genocide) And thousands of others. People burned in mosques. And my ansectors said, the city (Erzurum) were under the smoke for long time because of burned people. When the people entered the city, firstly they thought the some people were smiling. Then they saw this people impaled... If you have courage to know reality about your history, this monster is enough. Then you can talk about 'ermenian genocide'
Genocide can also happen for other reasons than just to have a scapegoat. For example to prevent a secession of a region where a certain group is in the majority or when they're seen as a potential threat to stability of the status quo, although in that case assimilation attempts are also often used, particular if a country has many different ethnicities
Prior to war very often both sides have intention to attack, both prepare for it. But, side which can feel it's supremacy in military first actually does first strike. Same can happen if there are extremists from two or more sides in multiethnic society.

For LGBTQ individuals, a lot of signs are already happening Classification and dehumanization is already put into practice. We are compared to pedophiles, disease spreaders, corruptors of youth, groomers, rapists, etc. Discriminatory laws are also being passed and accepted by various states. Polarization is also being weaponized Also we are currently in a recession, wages are stagnant, many families are 1 paycheck or 1 expensive misfortune away from homelessness. The politics in america are a two party system. Either democrats, or republicans. The politician winning on the republican side is an extremist narcissist, who is currently facing many lawsuits due to corruption, leaking confidential documents, tampering with voter numbers, and many more. The people who vote for him are denying reality due to polarization and propaganda
For unborn individuals, the signs have been happening Classification and dehumanization has been a . Somehow, a human is "a clump of cells" until they "touch air" then they are suddenly worthy. In some places, they are dehumanized even after birth, where parents can choose to kill their own children up to hours after birth. Discriminatory laws allow unborn humans to be killed on a whim, with no regards for morality or human life. This is more than discrimination. This is active genocide. Polarization is also being weaponized since we have an entire side saying "infanticide is good and needed" while places like Planned Parenthood serve as eugenic centers targeting the African American population (with 78% of Planned Parenthoods located in areas primarily African American in population) just like the founder of Planned Parenthood intended. Also we are currently in a recession, wages are stagnant, many families are 1 paycheck or 1 expensive misfortune away from homelessness. Even outside of the considerations, many say "it would be cruel to let this person live" as if they are mercy killing. The politics in America are a two party system. Either democrats, or republicans. The politician winning on the democrat side is currently not at all here mentally, which allows the ruling party to make any decision they like in the background. This is the most obvious form of corruption, plus tampering with voter numbers, and many more. The people who vote for him are denying reality due to polarization and propaganda, since they somehow believe that some humans are not worthy of life itself. The current president has also leaked confidential documents by stealing them during his tenure as vice president, meaning that he had even less right The last paragraph is why its a problem in America. This is a global issue concerning the lives of hundreds of millions. In America, there is no debate that medical emergencies may require sacrifice. In over 99% of cases however, infanticide is acted out by the uncaring or unaware adults that parent the infants. There are multiple genocides happening or about to happen throughout the world, but this genocide has taken the most human life in our history by being deemed "women's rights" by the ruling class. Without stopping this blatant discarding of human life, how can we hope to stop other genocides?

I cant believe humanity can be so cruel. Every human being of planet earth should watch this video. I feel so hopeless these days watching the videos coming out of🍉
Well. It's the nature of the beast. Humanity dominates life on Earth because of it's exceptional killing ability. Even can find ways to kill disease causing organisms. So of course, humans kill each other as well. Hate is the problem, humans can literally feel hatred for other human beings as if the other humans aren't the same species. Something strange happened with the Proto Chimp/Hominin organism that split from the common ancestor of the Gorilla lineage, they developed the capacity for war AND genocide. So now, Chimps and Humans wage war and commit genocide.
indeed, I just don't find it realistic to have "denial" as a step. My reasoning is that having denial as a gives someone the power to claim the truth is wrong because they are in denial. I just feel it allows people to put others into a negative light over something that isn't happening.
In your examples of past genocides you mentioned, germany, rwanda etc....but you never mentioned European colonial empires that basically did genocides around the world and how they justified it/rewrite history by claiming their victims were savages that needed to be civilized. This is such a huge aspect of world history to just overlook, especially when discussing the topic of genocide.
@@Dave3ohAlso the german genocide in Namibia in the early 1900s. They blocked the natives (I don't remember the name of the ethnicity) in the desert with no water or food for days. Tens of thousands of them died in that event.
The point of learning this now is to prevent genocide, for which we are far too late. Far, far, FAR too late. The people in charge who had the power to stop this didn’t, and choose not to. We can choose to watch, or we can choose to do something else.
I am a 48 year old male from Haifa, Israel. As I progressed through the stages, this video made me cry. I lived my entire life in a bubble believing everything the state showed us. Like every fellow citizen I too believed that they are anti-Semitic and just want to eliminate us by carrying out stabbing attacks. Then came Oct 7th which shook the entire country including me and I spent some time learning history from the Palestinian perspective and why they actually do what they do, it just shattered my existence. For the first time in my life, I got to learn what has been actually happening for the last 70+ years. How most of them were systematically wiped out from Israel, pushed into tiny pockets, imposed military law upon them, and then made illegal for Israelis to visit there. Although most of the Israelis were against settlements in the West Bank, no one cared enough to stop them. Our local media never covered attacks on Palestinians, they were always tried in military courts. Most of the things that happened to them throughout history, the average Israeli doesn't even know. I want to tell the world that not every Israeli agrees to what is happening. I am trying my best to make a difference on an individual level. My countrymen have started opening their eyes and things will only go towards a better future from here. We both people need to coexist in one land with equality and it can only happen through peaceful resistance.
Uh huh, you are an "Israeli". The Palestinian media and leaders openly call for murder of Jews and demonize Jews, twist history, and deny the holocaust. In the Israeli media on the other hand racism is not tolerated, and politicians receive big backlash for wrongdoings. Israeli terrorists as Baruch Goldstein for example, are known as terrorists by the Israeli society, while Pro-Palestinians often call their terrorists "freedom fighters", exactly like in the 7 of october attack, that is justified by those. Arab leaders literally called to throw the Jews to the sea, stole lands in the war, and rejected any peace offer. 20% of Israelis are Arabs, but there are no Jews at all in Gaza or under the PA. The Palestinians are exactly being indoctrinated to hate Jews and are experiencing these 10 stages. The absolute majority of Israelis understand that, and call out the racism against Jews, and the fact that every peace offer has been rejected.
They were "wiped out" of Israel because Palestinians kept attacking Israel, not the other way around, Palestinians even today live in Israel and Israel permites them to work and serve in the IDF, there is no distinction, Israelis can't live among Palestinians in Palestinian territory because they get lynched. They don't want a 2 state solution and never did (not even once they accepted such a thing), they want everything, "from the river to the sea" means everything is theirs, including Israel's land, they will get it, one way or another. But go on, give them a hand and a try to hug them, thinking that they are just this oppresed group of people that just wants peace and a small state, and see for yourself what happens, just as a little spoiler: the 7th of October attacks gave you a small teaser of what will happen, go on with that information in mind, i'm sure they will be very happy to see that the sheep goes to the slaughter willingly..
It’s actually why this video is worthless. If your a democrat. They just explained Trump supporters. If your Republican they just explained antifa. That’s the issue. All info is filtered through bias and that bias makes videos like this pointless. It’s everyone being “nazis” all over again.

Now we are blamed for Holocaust too? Dude, if you are gonna bring out the Speech it was Hitler showing Turkeys Nationalisation under Atatürk being a important step wich Germans should also Follow, there wasnt a time he mentioned how Turks fully got away with it, nor they were righteous in doing it. İt was something Taken out of Contest by Diaspora Nationalists and German Nationalists were happy to play along since it allowed them to Shift the Blame to Turks, and General Academia wasnt also too keen on fixing it since they were busy trying to divorce Western Germany wich was part of NATO thus in the same allieance as many other Countries they had invaded under the Nazi's thus they were trying to divorce germans from the regime that came before Democracy

This subject is why I'm afraid of losing the 2A. Tulsa happened when black people had limited access to self defense and Rwanda had one party having all the arms. On an unrelated note, the 2 biggest political parties in my country push subdivision incredibly hard. Even violence is accepted.
@@xenocide1307 And what side is that? Because I see it from both. One side protects police going overboard, and the other side instead of admitting that a small few of the hundreds of protests turned into riots denied any of them did.
Interestingly Tulsa is one example where the African Americans had weapons (many were WWI veterans) but the whites had more weapons (including dynamite and aircraft) and were able to pull from state and federal resources.
If that’s the case than it’s the worst genocide ever considering it takes them 70 years to pull it off and while they do that the Palestinian population tripled. You’d expect a country full of people who were allegedly genocided by Nazi Germany and lost 6 millions people to learn a thing or two from their killers lol.
What's interesting is how one would view genocide under the guise of "war". When both sides are responsible for atrocities done to one another, more power is needed to hold them accountable. Ethnic cleansing could be covered up as act of retaliation. Population displacement could be ruled out as merely the effect of ongoing war. Anything could be rewritten as how the narrative sees fit.

The west has plentiful evidence and understanding about the genocide, yet does nothing. To prevent a genocide, not only the knowledge of it is needed, but actual political will, and a lot of power, to pressure the perpetrator faction to stand down. By the time, when an organisation comes to genocide the undesirables, it is so crooked and bestial in nature, that it only responds existential threats. Even then, when Hitler realised the losing trend of the Third Reich, instead of reallocating the resources from his genocide machine to the german war machine to fight off the imminent loss, he opted to allocate more resource on genocide endeavours. In order to have a genocidal faction to stand down, one has to make a really brutish example, such as was the nuking of two japanese cities to force the imperial Japan to surrender.
Heavy on the victim blaming!! Ive heard so many excuses from israel like "the palestinians dont care about their children and force us to kill them." Or the "human shields" argument or just straight up blaming palestinians for killing other palestinians like they did when Shireen Abu Akleh was sniped or Hamas getting blamed for the bombing of a Palestinian hospital. All of which israel later admitted that they commited.
As long as the west still take control of the global power, this will never stop and eventually repeated over and over again, bcs this is what they want (a conflict that never ends)
I think the jews have learned from the past not to wait for the genocide to happen. What happened October 7th, was a clear proof of palestinian intensions.
Ironically, these stages will probably be used by awful people to classify small, powerless, or disproportionately blamed groups as "trying to commit genocide" and therefore sub-human.
i was listening to this under the preference of what israel is doing to palestinians, and its genuinely mindboggling how western countries, the "protectors" of democracy, allow a genocide to happen to gain a better foothold in the middle east.
February 25th, 2024 I think that besides having the knowledge of what a genocide is, people should also try and spread this knowledge and protest/talk about it when they can.

And the British started it. occupation is a crime by the way, while resistance is legal. And saying to the victims of oppression if you kept your head down only 300 of your people would die this year instead of 30000 is so tone deaf and devoid of any kind of moral integrity. That it makes me wonder too much about you as a person.

Israel left the Gaza area in 2005 and declined every offer of 2 state solution(which would give West Bank back).

Knowledge is not enough to prevent genocide. Strong leadership or bravery is required. Seeing it happening and standing back out of cowardice or denial will not stop genocide. The society must be brave enough to stand up and protect those being targeted, and effect change to reverse the trend.
@@mamadragonful society is made of individuals. As such it takes many individual's actions, simple deeds by ordinary folk to serve those in need. The sum of such actions when found in abundance among a society will oppose such atrocities. To that end, yes I do strive to pass along Christ-like love and help those who are in need. When I see members of my local community being targeted unfairly or being othered or those who need basic assistance, I do what I can and encourage others to do the same. I am lucky to live where systematic oppression is not persistent but I pray that if such times ever come, the habits of service to my neighbors I am cultivating now will allow me, God willing, to play my small part as one individual of a society who stands against the persecution of any of God's children.
In the perfect world. But the human species are not capable of doing so, more so they follow a herd-like mentality. There are very few people who rise up against these atrocities and give their lives for that change.
But at the same time anyone with common sense would agree that saying someone with diabetes being labelled as diabetic is a "stage one genocide" would be absolutely moronic
Crazy how most things below mass murder are just people disliking a group of people for various reasons. You could argue based on this model that American blacks have been on a stage 6 or 7 genocide for basically 250 years without there ever actually being a mass concerted effort to obliterate them. This model isn’t flawless to say the least
@rhysjonsmusic because stage 1 also includes *blame.* If someone said "these damn diabetics are the reason our healthcare is fucked up" THAT would be stage 1.
@@SnailSnail-lo4pm Pointing out that people with chronic diseases (like diabetes, obesity, gender dysphoria, etc.) are the primary drivers of healthcare expenses is still not stage one of a genocide. Or if you're willing to argue that people are working towards a genocide against Americans, I'm willing to entertain that argument. ("Americans have the largest carbon footprint and are the main drivers of climate change," is an all-too-common refrain.)
False claims of being victims of the target group I think should be stressed more. It happened in every major genocide early and is probably the strongest driver of public sentiment towards acceptance of the atrocity.
It doesn't even have to be false claims. In fact, trying to prove the claim "false" is often what further triggers hatred, because people feel that their lived experience is being denied. If one group committed a terrorist attack against another group, it's not false to say that the former victimized the latter. Saying it's false will only make the latter feel more incensed and self-righteous, more justified in their anger and hatred. What actually needs to be communicated (and this isn't easy) is that groups can't suffer. Only individuals can suffer. So a group can't be punished, only individuals can. So when you punish a group for the actions of a few individuals who claim to represent that group, you're essentially letting the actual culprits off scot free by displacing their punishment onto random individuals, who'll suffer on their behalf. But this is further complicated by the fact that discrimination and marginalization often makes people identify even harder with their narrow tribal identities, so it becomes even easier to connect the culprits with all the random people who just happen to be part of the same group or tribe. Which in turn makes it easier to justify collective punishment.
Like how the Ukrainians claim they are victims of the Russians within reality. It was the Ukrainian to opened fire upon unarmed voting protesters when they voiced their objections to their mistreatment by Kyiv. And like how the Arabs complain the Jews victimized them when in reality, the Arabs not only begin with 90% of the land, but they also didn’t even let the Jewish state exist for five hours before they welcomed in and assisted the invading armies, were trying to kill every single Jew, and they did this more than once.
I feel like one of the most scary things about a genocide is how easy it is for believe in what they are doing. The reason they do it is because they so desparately believe that genocide will solve everything.
Well. No. That's just an excuse, they actually commit the genocide because of preexisting hostile feelings of the genocidal population towards the other group. The Europeans overall in the 1930's were awful, ethnocentric, racist, Nations/Tribal groups, who were hostile to 1. Other European Nations, 2. Even more so to non European peoples who still possessed pale skin and similar "Caucasian" generic phenotypical appearance, even 3. More so, those like Jewish people, Gypsy people, and Asian and Dark skinned people like Sub-Saharan Africans southern Indians, Australian Aborigines, and New Guinea Tribesmen. So in big numbers they were okay with eliminating those other people so they wouldn't have to share the limited wealth with them. They never say them as human like their people, so they were okay with eliminating them. It's the same reason Europeans were okay with enslaving Africans, and later Colonializing Africa itself, and slaughtering the Native Americans to create the modern English, Spanish, French speaking countries there. With that sentiment, it was actually more difficult to protect, say, Gypsy people from the hateful populace thsn to allow or provoke the populace to commit to genocide of that group. Now. In 2023, the population overall in Europe appears to be much more tolerant of people different from them, so a genocide attempt seems impossible there, at least for now.
Also there’s a bias against thinking your group is capable of evil acts. So more moderate members of a group will tend to downplay that a genocide is happening or has happened because they don’t want to think a group they’re associated with has done such things. Take for example the way Germans who lived through WW2 said they had no idea their government was committing genocide. While this could certainly be true it’s much more likely they saw signs of what was going on, enough to figure it out, except that would have meant believing their people were capable of such evil acts.
Well When a race makes up 13-14% of the population but causes over 50% of the crime in America getting rid of said race isn't really that bad of a idea sure it won't fix everything but i will fix a lot of issues simultaneously and improve society overall you can claim its bad or morally wrong but sometimes for the greater good of humanity and society sacrifices have to be made life isn't fair and morality isnt black and white maybe if this said race changed thier ways and culture and started contributing to society in a positive manner such ideas or plans wouldn't be necessary or even brought up
Any time of the year in the past few decades or so can be considered a timely manner. But if what you meant by that is a period of time where the message will be more readily received an effectively when then maybe within the past two years or so. mid and post covid a lot more people have been given a reality check prior to that I would say the majority of the global population especially in the more westernized part of the world are what the edgy kids call sheeple.
@@loganrogers4560 white people are absolutely not being targeted for genocide wtf are you talking about?? You tell others to “get off the internet” but that stance is one that would only be formed by an individual who is chronically online.
Hi! As an historian, I have to admit... Great video to explain such a complex matter! But if it's possible, I would like to add one small detail, that in the video didn't really got a long timing: the concept of completely erasing the victims from history, not only phisically, but their culture as well. In fact, if you look for example at the Jews' genocide in the 40s or the Armenians' one during WWI, you can clearly see that after the genocide, the dominant class ALWAYS tried not only to fake they never existed, but they also tried to cancel their names/surnames, cancel cult places (like churches), cancel cultures or whatever book a writer of that ethnicity belonged to... So it is not only a phisical erasing, but usually during genocide it's also a cultural one: that's why the word "genocide" it's a VERY heavy one and MUST be used very carefully!!! Except that... Excellent video!! Keep the good work going, pal!! :)
this is why genocide can be used in cases where the cultural identity of an entire group of people is erased, like by stealing children and banning languages and practices and subjecting them to forced reeducation and sterilization and rewriting history, i remember the discussion came up with the uighur camps, its not just about the death toll
@@JustinlADFP probably why a bunch of nations prefer to think of genocide as million plus people murders and not all the shit a lot of european nations been up to, even denmarks found guilty of lowkey doing the same kinda thing to greenlanders
@@michal31131 I don't understand what you mean here. But the phrase "from the river to the sea palestine will be free" Means that all Palestinians should have rights and freedom from the river to the sea.
The claim that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza is a serious accusation that is not supported by the legal definition of genocide or the facts on the ground. Genocide is defined by the UN as \"acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group\"¹. While the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has resulted in a high number of civilian casualties and humanitarian suffering, there is no evidence that Israel has deliberately targeted Palestinians as a group or sought to eliminate them. On the contrary, Israel has stated that its military operation is aimed at destroying Hamas's military and governing capabilities, as well as freeing the hostages taken by Hamas during its attack on Israel on 7 October 2023². Israel has also claimed that it has taken measures to minimize civilian harm, such as warning residents of impending strikes and aborting missions when civilians are detected³. The claim that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza also ignores the role and responsibility of Hamas, the Islamist militant group that controls Gaza and is considered a terrorist organization by Israel, the UK, US and other Western powers⁴. Hamas has been accused of using civilians as human shields, storing weapons and launching rockets from densely populated areas, and preventing people from fleeing or accessing humanitarian aid⁵. Hamas has also been condemned for its indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israeli cities, which have killed and injured civilians and disrupted daily life⁶. Hamas's charter calls for the destruction of Israel and the establishment of an Islamic state in Palestine, and rejects any peaceful solution to the conflict. Therefore, the claim that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza is false and inflammatory. It does not reflect the reality or the complexity of the situation.

@@urrywest sincerelly, they aren't going through a genocyde. If it was 1) they would have been exterminated long ago when they were 0.5 milion, whereas now they are around 6 milion; 2) being close enough to the situation I see no such strategies being employed; classification and symbolization were allways present since they were never a "single people"; if there was discrimination there wouldn't exist arab israelis, who are now 2 milion (not included in the 6 milion figure from before) and represent 20% of all israelis and they are allowed to vote and have political parties, wich they do by the way; I never saw dehumanization, all I ever hear is "if there is palestinian leadership that doesn't support terrorism then we can have a Two-state solution" wich doesn't sound inhumane to me; there is no organization of jewish israeli civilians dedicated to harming palestinians (unless if you consider the government as such, but this would be a very dumb argument), but instead there are many organizations of jewish israelis seeking peace and understanding between both peoples; there is no polarizarltion unless if you consider the poles as "the land is mine, the land is yours" or "I don't like terrorism, I do like terrorism" otherwise no poles; again, the only preparation comes from the government but it is dumb as an argument (also I have yet to see anyone show any example of the government really going after civilians instead of terrorists); persecution goes the same way as organization and preparation (and Gaza is not a prison because it is a large state-sized territory with no israelis inside, it is more fitting to call it a proto-state with closed boders with Israel... except for four exits and 20k gazans who worked in Israel everyday but it is just a detail); extermination... if what Israel is doing is extermination we should learn in schools about the german extermination that the british brought about during WWII... oh wait, those were called "war casualties"? But over 2 milion german civilians died compared to 400k british and french civilians... maybe Israel is special in this regard and deserves harsher punishment for fighting in a war, it isn't like jews need to have a soverign state to flee to in case of world wide antissemitism; denial, but there is nothing to deny, Israel tried to show everything to the world to see if someone would stop siding with a terrorist organization who clearly state their goal of exterminating all jews and christians from the face of the Earth, but it seems people are too stuburn to do it...

Dude, im not joking, my teacher played this video in class about a week ago and i had my phone in my backpack i just now got recommended their channel. Makes you really wonder if your phones actually listening
Honestly, I think this is just a case of it being put into your mind and then you notice it. Normally you would never think about this video being recommended but now, a week later mind you it gets recommended and with this previous experience you think, maybe my phone is listening to you. I highly doubt they are but, who knows maybe I’m an apple spy.
No, your phone is listening. I talked to my therapist about it. Because i have my phone with me during our sessions and i get recommend articles and books and videos related to topics we speak about. I brought it up to her because im not allowed to record conversations, but i can't stop my phone from listening in. She agreed that its real and creepy, but ultimately out of our control.
The last stage, Denial, is the one that stops from holding the criminals accountable. How can we hold them accountable if the society and the state both agree to deny it? The answer as given is an international watch but if there is said watch as an institution has no influence nor ways to seek justice or give punishments then none will be given. And this becomes even harder when most nations are starting to pull out from said organizations.
The issue is that all these genocide watch activities are created for looking outward fro shaming others and never used for prosecuting inward. Hence, hypocrisy of the whole exercise makes everyone cynical. While "whataboutism" is used as a slander, it has a very valid premise in its core. Rules that are applied selectively are worse than the total absence of rules.
@@qo705210,000 dead Palestinians (terrorists and army included) does not equate a genocide you intelectual loser. The 10 MILLION killed in the Belgium Congo were victims of genocide.
Education on genocide is a good start, bringing the people to justice that commit genocide is another very important step, and helping the survivors get their life back is also crucial. I wonder if we stopped looking for others to blame and actually look at ourselves more honestly. If that would point us in the right direction? I wonder if we stopped listening to leadership who use emotions instead of logic and started supporting people for who they really are without labels. We need to stop the division as a society.
To prevent genocides this kind of videos, books, lectures must taught at home, schools all over the world and the UN, UNSC, ICC, ICJ must be reformed particularly the *veto must be abolished* so no place to play geopolitics and international law must be respected and implemented.

@@jbstarkiller4626 Unfortunately you are right and to make matters worse there are countries like the European ones as well as the United States that consider everything "self-defense", truly shameful, it now seems that humanity has disappeared!
I disagree with opposing the veto. The veto is not to end wars. But to prevent the end of humanity. As great nuclear powers. Each of those 5 nations can end the world. So they must never be forced into a position where they have no say. It is not a fair system. But it is the reality of the world. This doesn't mean UN is useless. It has 1 job. That is to prevent ww3 and it has been successful at limiting wars to local level. It serves as foundation for higher level of cooperation. the goal is to enlarge the role of G20 and brics± to create more layers of institutions. Which cannot happen if there is risk of nuclear war.

Rule of Thumb: Collectivism in general tends to go the route of genocide. Beware of anyone who sees society as a collective or divided into collectives. In particular those who claim their preferred collective is "opressed" by another collective. The narrative structure is always very similar. Some examples: "Germans are opressed by Jews and their Jewish Conspiracy" "Workers are opressed by Capitalists and their Capitalist System" "Women are opressed by Men and the Patriarchy" "Blacks are opressed by Whites and their Systemic Racism" "Men are opressed by Women and their Gynocentric System" "LGBTQP+ are opressed by Cis-people and their Heteronormative System". (by the way, "Cis" is a slur, it was created and used exclusively as a slur, but the cultists deny it's a slur to shield themselves from criticism. See the Denial stage in the video)
@@nwoaoak Nope. I'm warning of one of the most common excuses genocidal maniacs do. Seriously, read the origins of movements like BLM (which are literally black nazism) or Queer theory (which is communist pedo nazism). It's all the same malady with a different mask.
