This is where I get my up-to-date information on the Israeli Palestinian conflict
this video aged so well
I saw this in my recommended, and was like, “here we go again”
I love it when something happens and CZcams starts to recommend the relevant Onion video
What's sad and funny at the same time? This is still a video that they could have released today and it would be JUST as fitting.
@@FelixUmbra which one is that
The CZcams algorithm has an interesting sense of humor.
Fr lmfao
Maybe AI is more honest than we are.
Lol its spot on
I was wondering why this came to my feed.
Until I watched it.
In this case, IA reaches a new level : sense of desperation
”Global leaders worked tirelessly to engineer a conflict so intractable that it could last indefinitely” I see no lies here
Never thought i'd consider The Onion as a legitimate news source, but...reality has become a clownshow.
It's funny because it's true 😢
Watch 'Twilights Last Gleaming' with Burt Lancaster for some perspective.
The Onion: The best source of current news from 8 years ago.
Holy shit your so right and in a funny way too rofl
lol
They even told you about their ability to tell news from the future mane. They weren’t joking.
This is still 100% accurate, and will always be.
That part about the two sides both sharing "mutual goals" was pure brilliance
The same goal but different gods!
But they don’t share mutual goals?
One side just wants to exist, while the other side wants total control and to steal land and homes without repercussions. Painting them as two sides of the same coin inhumane in itself.
The fact one side has the power to cut off food/water/energy whenever they feel like it should make the imbalanced situation quite clear, but do correct me if I’m wrong about this please
@@tobsmonster2 you're definitely right about the power imbalance but it's also true that the ones in power on both sides want to completely eradicate everyone on the other. The international community, including Israel led to the conditions that the civilians in the region are now suffering for
@@tobsmonster2 "just wants to exist" and also commit genocide
@@tobsmonster2 apparently the people who "just wanted to exist" just treated a concert for peace in the middle of the desert as a shooting gallery cum hostage hunting grounds, raped and killed a bunch of innocent tourist who attended said concert (which, again, was held in hope for peace), and then still proceeded to murder children and grandmas just because they're Israeli citizens. one of them even took the time to record a video of the grandma's dead body before posting it on her facebook account. truly the act of people who just wanted to exist
I know that this video is satirical, and makes no factual statements whatsoever, but I find this video to be biased against whatever side I support.
So it's biased against Israel?

You need to see their latest post exposing the ridiculous lies or the Zionist state its priceless
Satire is dead unfortunately
They haven't gone anywhere. That amicus brief alone cements them as legends but they have another banger at least once every month or two.
Agreed. At first I was happy to see their new tiktok series because it brings them back into the limelight.... but the comedy in those just doesn't hit the same and forcing the short-form content is frustrating.
If i pick Israel, i'm an islamophope and a zionist. If i pick Palestine, i'm a neonazi and an antisemite. So I have to ask myself the question...why not both?
as in: nuke them both and be done with it?
dahulius It's like picking a sports team to root for in a low league in a sport you don't care about. You want the game to be over already, so it's more entertaining to pick one, root for the losing team, fall asleep, and never find out who won, not that it would matter at all in the grand scheme of things.

@@brettvogel8418Now there are GoPros with atrocities
No you dipsh*t American, the conflict has been the same for decades. Just you who learned about it this week.
It’s very impressive that they managed to make a funny video out of a topic that people get so angry about
Only the stupidest get angry
That's because it's funny to us only.
The problem is that you have to be more than mildly retarded to actually see this in such a childish reductionist way as to find it funny.
Well I guess a majority of Israelis and Jews wouldn't agree (and maybe call us anti-semitic (Palestinians are semites, too, btw.)). Cynic me, having watched 40 plus years of absolutely useless violence in that region agrees, laughs, but is also very sad.
getting angry over tyranny and oppression, yea so silly
Weird that a satirical video from 8 years better describe the situation than the actual news
I was two and a half minutes into this before I realised it was made eight years ago. It’s comforting to know some things in life are timeless.

Was just about to watch a 2 hour documentary on the conflict but this is far more digestable. Thanks for the neutral reporting!
Not just more digestible, but also informative than 80% of mainstream media sources on the conflict.
@granudisimo right. Not to make this ugly but it was disgusting how the media span a narrative a few days back that babies were getting b□□headed. Later to be revealed it was a lie
Indeed. Straight to the point.
I'm with Israel, 1000%.
When you celebrate things like Pulse, Charlie Hebdo, Bataclan, and 9/11, I have no sympathy. No tears for terror.
The sad part? I used to be Pro-Palestine. Until Pulse. I forgave everything else until I realize just how much they consider me less than. The muslim world, including Palestine, celebrated the slaying of people like me.
So honestly? I do not care.
Israel existing didn't make them homophobic. They did that all on their own.
And you know what's funny? No muslims ever refute this unless it's to state that they do, in fact, think I am not a person. Kinda weird, isn't it? 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
@DDRWakaLaka I definitely understand you.
It was the same event that gave me enough courage to stop living in the closet.

If you are dumb enough to not see the difference between the state of Israel and bloodthirsty terrorists from Gaza, then keep watching onion's bs.

This problem is just another outcropping of the exact same problem that has been going on for nearly a century.
how is ti accurate if they portray 2 qual sides, they actually couldve done a good job but theyre American after all
"The Israeli-Palestininan conflict began in the wake of the devastating violence of world war 2, when International leaders came to the sudden realisation that the world no longer had a non stop carnage filled conflict with which to entertain itself" ... is perhaps the best line in satire ever written

No matter what’s in the news, there’s a decade old onion video about it doing a better job at explaining it that any documentary.
Careful with so-called documentaries... They can be very biased depending on who made them. I recommmend a 16 minute video by ReallyGraceful called "What Christians Aren't Taught About Zionism"
how is it good though, they portray it as if its 2 equal sides meanwhile one stole and still steals the land of the other and is oppressing them for decades
@@janhenrik4170yeah yeah
It gets it wrong on Israel’s goals, as we know Israel can achieve those goals militarily. It hasn’t, therefore we can know that those are not Israel’s goals. Whereas the same is not true for Palestine/HAMAS, which does not have the capability to wipe out Israel, although ideology wise would if they could.
@@janhenrik4170 Palestine steals land too just look at the current map, both of them are invading eachother. Now, the only reason I support Israel is because another Muslim state won't do the world any good.
I thought The Onion was supposed to make satire, this is just actual history
I thought so too, I was confused.
Sometimes reality is more funny than satire
Its perfect except I think it fails to say that the palestins existed before israel and that israel only came to be through the support of the west and it for some reason equates both sides civilians with their corresponding leadership. I think its pretty unfair that refugees claimed and conquered a country they took refuge in.
@@Xeadrielthat’d be way to provocative and one sided a message to keep the satire video neutral.
You’d just get hate filled comment sections about both sides claiming their true rights to land instead of a comedy, you can go to any other proper biased news site for that.
@@Xeadriel You're under an Onion video my guy
You know something is wrong with the world when satire becomes the purest truth at hand

@@quinnherden satire often works through exaggeration, and comedy as a whole tends to become biased and fallacious and thus, a destructive force. Just not in this case. And I'm grateful for that. Of course this is my take on comedy, as it's oversimplifications sound ignorant to me.

And It will remain so for all eternity.
except that Israel has made attempts towards peace. Theyve given land to Palestinians, and have offered a two state solution which has been rejected by the Palestinians.
@@tc98826your misinformation is laughable. They knew about the Hamas attacks. Do you really believe two of the most morally bankrupt, bankrolled intelligence agencies (cia and mossad) wouldn’t know about the hamas attack? They have been wanting it for years. They needed an excuse to flatten Gaza and continue their genocide.
@@tc98826even people in the IDF are suspicious. You’re a gullible cucklord if you believe Israel ever had any intention of not killing every Palestinian they could get their hands on. That’s why they gave them 24 hours to leave and at the same time bombed the exit.
@@tc98826 how generous of them 😐 you might've forgotten the settlements in West Bank and the complete blockade of Gaza, though
Finally, a news source we could trust
The real one state solution was the friends we made along the way.
Yet another example of when comedians do a better job of journalism than journalists.
not really. Israel has repeatedly offered a two state state solution but Palestinians rejected it.
@@tc98826good old propaganda eh
@@firewhite wdym? U realise Palestinians democratically elected Hamas, a party whose aim is Jewish extermination. Does that sound like a people who want a two state solution? And that Israel has given land to Palestinians (Gaza), with free water and electricity, and foreign governments have given them billions, and all has been used to buy weapons to attack Israel?

Though thoroughly amused by the endless carnage, i am concerned about the unhealthy levels of interest our politicians are taking in it... don't they know you aren't supposed to pick a side?
Protester19 I agree. They should remain as a neutral spectator and just watch the neverending bloodshead. If they pick a side the effort of UN just goes to waste.
Protester19 'our' as in American politicians?
and the USA hasn't kept out of the business of other countries since WW2. Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, etc, all that crap had nothing to do with the USA and we waste the lives of our military for virtually nothing but for some reason we call that nothing 'freedom'. I respect those with a strong love of our country and who want to represent it via the military but this country goes to war on a whim constantly. The last time America's freedom was in jeopardy was during WW2, ever since then it's about $.
I guess the silver lining is we always have experienced and combat trained soldiers since we're constantly at war. I hear a lot of people complaining about how we treat our war vets, well, most of those vets shouldn't even have ever seen war.

It doesn't make any sense to me. I don't want to sound like a spooky communist here but we need limits on capitalism because it gives the illusion that war is profitable to companies who simply want to earn more money. In turn the military power grows and grows and war is pushed onto the people, it is never the people who push for war!
Sadly, this is the most accurate portrayal of Israel vs Palestine I have ever seen.
Saw a chilling interview. Isreali woman in illegal house in Palestine: "We don't have any problems with them. If we see one we shoot them."
