Just the fact that we actually have mass graves and people are still questioning whether Israel is comitting war crimes blows my mind away.

@Merkabah Star + The guardian article I sent which says UN has not said the half number thingy. So there seems to be some confusion here about whether UN said it or not. Guardian is British media btw, you cannot call them "anti Israel"

@Nivsch The funny part is that even if it is true (Can you please send us sources from UN itself so it can be fully official), that would leave the kid death toll at around 7000. So still 175 times more than Israeli kid death toll. And this is at this moment. It will increase more since they seem to invade Rafah. So still unacceptable. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/13/gaza-ministry-revises-figures-for-women-and-children-killed Also I found this. There seems to be conflicting information about this issue

He seems quite pro Israeli to me. Especially in some interviews. In others he is indeed more centrist. There is a reason why so many people attack him over his views regarding this conflict. Considering critizing Israel can get you fired in British Media (there are cases of it happening when Israeli officials were pressed too hard in interviews) I do not blame him to be honest. I do not think he is racist as some say, just is limited in what he can express.

It would be really cool if you made a video about capitalism and how it compares to other systems to explain this stuff. I tried to do some research but you seem to include deeper points so it would make for a good video in my opinion. "Understanding capitalism" or something like that. Just an idea I had Also welcome back, I saw you made a new video.

I was referring purely from an economic perspective, not social rights perspective. We are told that we are richer today than in the past and when I read how easy it was to carry a family back then economically wise, it makes me think that was a lie. But I am referring here to the US; In other countries like India China etc life is definitely way better now from an economic perspective. I wonder where all that wealth went in the US considering US is like 10 times richer today than in the 1960s. Does not seem to go to your average American.

I have read that in the past in the US you could easily sustain a family as a working man, working a normal factory job. Housing was also way cheaper (relative to the wages). These days you need both the man and the wife to work and even then it is a struggle. One of the main reasons why people are having less kids. Has the purchasing power decreased?

@Bobby_2021 The entire war cabinet of Israel should be hanged for crimes against humanity. Bring bang hanging

@Merkabah Star Just remember that when everyone shits on Biden for unwavering support of Israel, remember Trump is far worse regarding this issue.

Like Judaism or Christianity is better lol

Do you think he is objective or bit Anti US? I have seen tons of stuff and he criticizes a ton the US. But i rarely see him criticize Russia or Putin for example. USA are not angels but Russia is neither. Or is his job to point out the US bs since he is from there?

Goes both ways. NATO also provokes. Unfortunately Russian and especially Soviet occupation and influence were so disastrous historically, that is has left these countries traumatized and downright Russian phobic. Hence they see all Russia does as bad. I know because my country used to be a Soviet puppet (but it broke down much much earlier than 1991) 2. Regarding your second point, I saw that Russia in the 1990s opened up the West and had horrible consequences. Their economy went to total shit. Only after Putin did things start to improve. So probably Putin viewed that as a mistake and that Russia has to do its own thing. Also he tried to join NATO and NATO did not take that well. So to me Putin seems like that guy that tried to join the cool people s group, was shunned down and now is a bit bitter and wants to make his own cool kids group

@Merkabah Star And to think he is a Jew too! Shows there is hope out there. I am very impressed by American Jews support for this. It shows to me that Israel brainwashing is so strong more than anything else, when people from the same group go against their actions

If governments wont do anything to stop a genocide, It is up to the citizens to do it. Beautiful thing they are doing. Massive support Israel needs to be cancelled as a country and left alone

How come if Hamas is so much prone to killing civilians the ratio between civilians and soldiers killed is quite similar. Hamas killed 2x civilians than soldiers, you claim IDF is similar. You also called such a ratio 'acceptable in war". If Hamas cared about killing civilians so much, wouldnt the ratio be like 10x more civilians than soldiers? Also dont you think some of the civilians dead, got caught in the crossfire? I mean IDF killed 3 Israeli hostages in Gaza because on the heat of the moment people make mistakes and stuff happens. Perhaps some of those 800 confirmed civilians died during the fighting between IDF and Hamas? If IDF did such mistakes in Gaza, why not here too? We still lack proof of how many were massacred without restraint compared to how many died in crossfires. I am not denying some civilians were intentionally targeted and massacred, but we lack the concrete number. Perhaps it is 300? 100? 500? Who knows...

Gaza is close to 15.000 kids. I did not see such numbers anywhere else. So number wise and proportion wise it is much worse. The only war that comes close recent times is Syrian war and especially the Chechen war (in terms of proportions). It is not just ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Close to 2% of the ENTIRE population of Gaza has died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_Turkmen_genocide#:~:text=The Iraqi Turkmen genocide refers,of their land in Iraq. It is genocide this one in Turkemnistan. Did not know. Thanks for sharing. Also time matters, Gaza is 6 months. The other conflicts are years long. Ukraine is 2 plus years, Turkmenistan happened in 3 years and Tibet has been going on for decades. So time lenght matters do. I think Ukraine and Tibet are indeed ethnic cleansings. But Gaza to me is now more on genocide than ethnic cleansing. Especially with the man made famine happening. Same for Rohinyga (indeed genocide). Note: I am not discounting that all these conflicts were horrible and should stop. But they are in different leagues of brutality and overall carnage, that is all I meant.

Totally agree with you.

@Bobby_2021 Is this guy to be trusted? He seems like a more extreme Mearsheimer to me. I really like Mearsheimer but this guy could not even name 1 bad thing to say about Putin. Seems a bit biased to me. But I do trust him when he says US is to be blamed for this too. They clearly care more about hurting Russia than helping Ukraine.

Joe Biden, Macron and Schultz are right wing? Ok got it. Because they are the genocide supporters I see here.

I love how the 300 pages thread about this conflict was closed by Leo and now we have a new thread, basically rebranded where the same people say the same things with barely any agreements. Humans are hilarious.

I am talking about the hypocrisy of not calling out war crimes when specific countries do it. Not about BRICS or anything like that. Countless Western governments are not right governments and still they do not call out Israel's crimes. USA, Netherlands, Germany, France being prime examples. Right now none of these countries have right wing governments yet they did what I wrote above. So I will repeat my question: Why the mass graves and massacres committed by Israel against Palestinians are not condemned by the non right wing Western governments (France, Germany, USA, Netherlands) like the massacres committed by Russians against Ukrainians.

Can does not mean they do in real life. I am only referring to discussions I had in real life. I never take online stuff into account. Purely in person talks with people I met in real life. Keep in mind we are different generations, I am 25 year old and most people I interact with are 28 and younger. Hence they tend to skew into more radical green. I am sure people that are 30+ may be more reasonable. But with people my age, I had the type of conversations that we had. Also sometimes they will agree on some gender differences but discount others. Like they might say that "Men are more risk takers" but then will discount the fact that "Men are more visual than women". It is somewhat random. I literally had a 18 year old girl (I was like 20 at the time): "The only difference between us is that you have a penis and I have a vagina". But to be honest she was quite extreme. This is what I am dealing with in my everyday life. The most common is agreeing on some specific gender differences but discounting most of the others. This I notice a TON. And I interacted with dozens and dozens of girls that identify as liberals which I met in every day life (I do not go to feminist rallies or anything). Most were from university and expats. It is a pretty decent pool size. Not 5 people. I live in a pretty Green European Western city, not in the US. Just for clarification.

@Bobby_2021 John Mearsheimer is a breath of fresh air. Very smart guy that predicted this war 10 years ago

@BlueOak I saw that when Russians did a massacre in Bucha (killing around 100 to 200 people) it got worldwide condemnation and the West was super angry and sad about it. I also saw some days ago in Gaza they found a mass graves consisting of hundreds of Palestininas, many had their hands tied meaning they were excecuted. How come no condemnation and Bucha treatment? Similar acts, similar death toll, one nobody hears about in terms of condemnation and the other the whole West says is horrible. Why? You seem pro Western so how can you explain this to me?

@BlueOak @Bobby_2021 One question you need to answer is this; "If NATO made it clear that they WILL NOT accept Ukraine and Ukraine kept a neutral government, a non anti Russian one, would have Russia still invaded Ukraine"? That is the core question here. If they actually want Ukraine and all the NATO expansion is an alibi, the answer is yes. They would have invaded Ukraine anyway because it is not about NATO but it is about getting that land into Russian territory. If the answer is no, so we would not have had a war. Then the war is about NATO expansion and Ukraine being a pro Western country, opposite of a pro Russian one. So what do you two think? Lets get to the core here.
