“The Middle East is unfinished business and is hurting.” Ian Bremmer, president & founder of Eurasia Group & GZERO Media, discusses the Israel-Gaza War, how social media is fueling anger and hatred, and makes the case why America may be the one country that can make a difference short, medium, and long term to reduce suffering in the region. #DailyShow

For instance, the1948 massacre of Deir Yassin, 1953 Qibya massacre, 1982 Sabra and Shatila massacre which was very brutal and more extensive. Leaders of those attacks, Menachem Begin and Ariel Sharon, were promoted to prime minister. From 2008 to 2022, 5331 Palestinians and 52 Israeli soldiers died in Gaza (UN OCHA).

@DavidJacobo 7 месяцев назад

He's left out US involvement (and how our current tax dollars contribute to this), UN involvement (and how they carved out Israel), and how the British let this happen in the first place a hundred years ago. The Palestinians have been pushed out ever since 1920. He's left out how Israel basically encouraged Hamas to exist in order to destabilize Palestine so they can take the last pieces of it. He's making it sound like this started just a few years ago. If there is anyone to blame, its US imperialism and western imperialism using zionism to gain a foothold in the region.

@floydwhatchacallit6823 7 месяцев назад

You're leaving out the Middle Eastern countries who chased their Jewish populations into Israel. Germany pumping money and weapons into Israel, out of guilt. The fleeing of Jews from ex-soviet states because of the religious and ethnic persecution. These are all major contributing factors, and hardly the only ones. To simply declare this to be the soul responsibility of "The West" is lazy and unproductive.

@SheilaR.08 7 месяцев назад

I am devastated for the loss of life on both sides. I am beyond disappointed that so little is said about the longstanding occupation, blockades, bulldozing of Palestinian homes for Israeli settlement expansion, and so forth, going back at least 70 years, and even further with the British Palestinian Mandate, Balfour Declaration, etc. The idea that this was all started last week by Hamas and now Israel has impunity to slaughter as many Palestinian civilians as they like in their zeal to extinguish Hamas is horrific. Hamas is a reaction to the past 70 years, and extinguishing them, especially while treating innocent civilians as collateral damage, will only create a vacuum that will be filled in record time. That Israel has nuclear capabilities adds another layer of terror. These actions do nothing to honor the lives of the Israelis killed. Working for a real and lasting peace would. No more bloodshed on either civilian side.

@imslicc 7 месяцев назад

if israels goal is push out arabs, why are there 2 million of them living in it? as equal citizens. it seems like it has issues with specific kind of arabs (just saying). why does israel have 2 peace agreements with countries they once fought? and was about to sign even more. i do agree that the illegal settlements in the west bank should be stopped, and the demonstrations were a part of that, the fear of the legal entity of israel be overthrown by an extreme-religious form of government (like in iran). anyhow, why did the palestinians refuse any territorial settlement since 1947, and tried to annihilate israel ever since? the 1948 war, 1967, and 1973 (wars which they lost and many people fled, but many stayed and now the are 'arab-isralis')

If you're going to make a case for Palestinians we should not only admit the US has forgotten about their suffering, not only that Hamas shares in causing that suffering, but also that the US is funding Israel's side of the whole thing. The real problem on our end is we are too invested to stop paying for it, the US will not give up influence in that region for the sake of Palestinian human rights. Then when this kind of thing happens we like to simply point fingers at Israel and Hamas.

@nuqwestr 7 месяцев назад

And to demolish AlAqsa Holy Mosque to build their own alleged temple. Watch Russell Brand interview with Dr. Gabor Mate a holocaust survivor. Why he changed his mind about establishing a Jewish state. Watch Mike Prysner from (Iraq veterans against the war) and honest ex Israeli soldiers from (Breaking the Silence).

Jews from around Europe were facing extinction and had a place of safety under Muslims ruling and flourished and called it their Golden Age. When the Muslims were defeated and the Spanish Inquisition started prosecuting non catholic and jews, they chose to flee to muslim land in Morocco. Even later Albanian and Bosnian Muslims saved the jews from the Nazis.

There is, however, no way out of this, when Palestinians and Arabs celebrate the massacre of Jewish civilians on German streets and an Islamist murders Swedes in Brussels as an add-on, and while Israeli retaliation costing thousands of Palentinian lives isn't severely sanctioned.

I’m confused on the notion that Hamas is contributing to an open air prison when they don’t allow ppl to leave northern Gaza in order to evacuate from bombing when 1. Gazans don’t want to leave their own homes, in most probably forever and never being able to return 2. No other countries can take them in because the borders are being bombed. Gazans have no where to go so it seems confusing to blame Hamas for making them stay…

@buttermuffin3752 7 месяцев назад

Even if the borders were not bombed, no country will take them in though... Egypt, for all it's "brotherhood" with the gazan people, won't even take a single refugee. And there's plenty of gazans that attempted to go south but unfortunately met a hamas blockade and IEDs... Truly horrific acts by hamas

Since well before 1948 Jewish migrants have come from North America, the UK, and especially from Eastern Europe and Russia; Ashkenazi Jews from Central and Easter Europe, not from Palestine. In contrast, in 1948 750,000 Palestinians who had lived in Palestine for generations were forced out in and are not allowed to return, although UN resolutions 194 and 3236 mandated their right of return. In contrast, a Jew from Brooklyn has the right to migrate to Israel. None other than Christopher Hitchens pointed out the this moral injustice. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ejadhwDB-OY.html

@ds975 7 месяцев назад

I had also thought the same a few days back. This is in fact crucial to find peace, to see each other as no different. When Israel says "we are fighting human animals" it is damaging the chance for peace. UK and Germany probably patched up after WW2 mostly because they saw themselves as one people.

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces : The Time Of Israel “The premier's policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from” “According to various reports, Netanyahu made a similar point at a Likud faction meeting in early 2019, when he was quoted as saying that those who oppose a Palestinian state should support the transfer of funds to Gaza, because maintaining the separation between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza would prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.” The truth is stranger than fiction.

Both of those things can be true. They are, by definition, terrorists. But you are right that most people would resist ethnic cleansing and apartheid. And while this was often done partly through terrorism in history (even in black South Africa, whom we glorify as heroes against oppression today), it is still wrong and will always be wrong to target innocents. 'Joining the fight' could in theory be a fight against the military forces (only) of the occupiers. Granted, this effort would not succeed anyway (and Israel's propaganda machine would probably still call it 'terrorism'), as the occupiers are backed and funded by the most powerful nations in the world, but it would be morally superior.

Starting with being a kinder person to others I share the earth with is an obvious first step forward. Thank you for helping some of us who are feeling like we do not matter either, because our caring will supposedly change nothing. The US may indeed be a world power, perhaps THE world power, but with that blessing comes responsibility. I am weary from my own sense of shame at the behaviors of our own elected civil servants. If everyone is created equal, the premise of our constitution, then we can begin helping others in the world by laying down our ill-conceived rights to have fun and behave badly toward others in any setting at any time. I am not ashamed to care deeply about this situation as well as bad manners that seem to rule our lives on a smaller scale. All of it counts. Being nice is the least we can do.What I believe is required, though, is love.
