The Real Question is "WHY HAMAS WAS FORMED?"
and other question needed to be questioned is for how long has the occupation been doing this
Hamas was formed because the Muslim brotherhood. And then it has continued to exist because of qatar, and then because of Iran. Hamas was formed because of radical islam. If it never existed the plo would have been able to negotiate a Palestinian state and end the occupation.
HAMAS are actually a bunched of cowards who have to cover their faces with women underwear ... that's how powerful they are ... the power of the smell of women underwear on their faces ... 😁😁😁
Why was hamas formed? To defend their land?
@@user-pm4zm6tw1iwow exactly so u do know its their land 😁
@@armpatah9730yeah they know 😏
So how powerful is Hamas? I don't see you answering this question you put up in the title. This video is more like "What is Hamas"
Was.
Sadly, a common trait of later Economist vids.
So how powerful is hamas
Islam took over the West already peace ☝️
Hamas is not a state and so you cannot define them in terms of number of tanks or battle ships. They said near the end "hamas managed to breach the defences of one of the world's most advanced miltary". That says a lot about it's capabilities.
The Real Question is "WHY HAMAS WAS FORMED?"
The dumbest question ever
To defend their homeland
To return their home
@@heroMen301 are you high
To bring back their stolen land your question should rather be why was idf formed
You don't need to be a Muslim to stand up for Palestine, you need to be human . 🇵🇸
But you have to be evil to support Hamas, both is true
Even Hamas are using Palestinians as human shields and Egypt don't want anything to do with their fellow Muslim Palestinians so there goes your 'You don't need to be a Muslim to stand up for Palestine' right out the window.
Yeah, I stand up for Palestine and for Israel, but not Hamas who occupied Palestine and use people as an alive shield. Why do they locate their offcies in schools and hospitals which can be destroyed by Tsahal?
@@Jimmy06blue Why?
@@andreicristian9575 because Israel was attacked by terrorists!!
Didn’t really anwser the question.
Why is the Chinese 🇨🇳 regime backing Hamas organization and committing Muslim Uyghur genocide at the same time?
Politics
@@Acesinz because the US is anti Hamas so China is pro whatever the US s against
I enjoy The Economist because of its moderate language to describe its journalism. The people can choose what they want to replace those words with as per their belief. Great job The Economist.
Sorry I did not see your comment before I made my own.
"Charter: "killing of jews"? Are you sure the wording is not somewhat … sharper?"
… would be an example of its "moderation".
The title has nothing to do with the video.
Shame on Economist.
Have they changed? That's not how I remember them 15 years ago, so depressing.
@@johanponken❤❤❤❤❤6
Shame on who thinks Hamas is terrorist
Hahhha haaahaaa you live in a lie
Lie is better than supporting Israel @@14.14.g
FREE FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
Indonesia stand with Palestine
Hamas doesnt use sulphur bombs and commit as much war crimes as IDF
Oh really
Stop sharing one sided story as a media you hold the responsibility to tell the truth to the public and let people decide.
what truth? truth that most of Gaza support terrorists hamas? everybody know that.
Like the name of the channel, its side is on the side of money
The economist,say nothing about hamas funding or money's 😂
“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas. This is our strategy.” Benjamin Netanyahu to his Likud party members in the Knesset (Haaretz, 2019).
So, you're not gonna answer the question?
That is correct, sir.
No. But we _will_ bait you.
So no airforce or navy???
When innocent civilians were taken as hostages you were dancing now you are crying
There 2 billion in world and more u have 0 chance
When Palestinians were being killed for 75 years and Israel kept cheering on, you weren’t this concerned.
Ask why they have done that. Nothitng is for granted. Ask how do people react when they know you’re from israel “ Free palestine” I’m Vietnamese and i support Palestine
Do you support Hamas or Palestine?
@@cubeofmars291 hamas is from where? And why they do it? For example if you’re my uncle, you see me being discriminated at school, will you protect me too or you wait for my dad to come?
@@Nguyenytram0205 You are discriminating against people by saying "Ask how people react when they know you're from Israel". Do you lack self awareness, supporting a militant group that commits atrocities against civilians?
@@cubeofmars291 if I discriminate against those people that you say I mean I don’t steal their land or property yet !
@@Nguyenytram0205 Are you really trying to justify Hamas killing innocent people?
So how Hamas is powerful?
Early Taliban or mid ISIS.
Now do the comparison.
Weak sauce. I doubt they’d last long on the streets of Chicago or in South Central LA in the 80’s and early 90’s
Taliban only movement government in middle east using american gun rifle and tank they the only one and rest of them russia and china 😂😂😂😂
From the river to the sea... Palestine will be free
A video starting with a question, ends up by resuming what all of us already know
Sham of you. why don't you speak about thousands of palastenians mascard, imprisoned without right and without rights, childern and women and oldmen even journalists murdered in cold blood all their fault was to ask for their freedom and rights. From 1948 until today the unjust, the killing, captivity continues against palatenian people. they tried everything in politics and via UN and international ORGs yet they were denied. Be just and speak the truth.
I was completely unaware that Hamas even had an Air Force until a few days ago. 😎!
They don't have airforce, they are terrorist.
Paragliders 🤦
They willing to die in exchange of heaven in their beliefs
"In exchange of heaven", yes, they give up heaven when they do sinful acts and don't repent.
They are so powerful that they now hiding behind civilians in schools and hospitals 😂
If they are so weak why israel afraid of inter gaza and fight them face to face ?
They are in gaza
The real question is, who has Zohan?
If you are not supporting innocents, you are not human😮
Who is innocent you mean?
@@redWarrior747 who are dying innocently. If you have problem with me, you can fight with me but you cannot hurt my family and childrens. If you hurt then you are coward
@@SyedSaqib-Gardezi Palestinian Child who was dying there.

Hi Economist did not see you post any videos lately on South Africa’s submission to ICJ on Israel’s Genocide! I thought you guys are big on rules based order?!
They are meanies
One day they're dressed in 'civilian clothes,' and the next day we know what they are wearing
The movement considers the land of Palestine to be an Islamic stand and a historic homeland for Palestinians with Jerusalem as its capital. The movement adopts the institutional system organizationally, and the consultation adopts decision-making as represented in the Shura Council of the movement. The movement confines its resistance to the Israeli occupation only, and has no battle with any party in the world. It only resists those who fight the Palestinian people and occupy its territory, and resistance at Hamas is a means, not an end.
Throughout the 4000 years that Jews were in Israel, their homeland, there were no Palestinians. They are refugees who only united in the last 100 years, a fact that they were not called Palestinians.Jerusalem is not even mentioned in the Quran, whereas in the 4000-year-old Tanakh of the Jews, Zion is mentioned. Therefore, Jews in their homeland are called Zionists, a return to Zion.@@user-vr8si9gj6m
Defended itself against Israel*
Your next topic should be " How brutal Israel is".
LOL, the first narrator who knows how to pronounce Hamas!
It was found in 1987 by Israil to fight against the PLO but pepper burns the gardener.
Are you referring to the palestinian defence force?
Ni hamas is the Palestinian occupation force
They clearly a terrorist orginization, worst than ISIS and al qaeda, I hope you are a human being that condemn their terrifying inhumane actions
as usual you are trying to distort the image of hamas
Uprising keyword
Okay so when are you going to answer the question?
They are powerfull.
I just wondering how come israel cant beat hamas and claim his own territory as their country while they are having such a powerful technology and army…
Because they don't have spirit
@@redWarrior747Because they respect the boundaries of Palestine more or less, and aren't absolute monsters
@@cubeofmars291 Do you know before this Land Palestine was bigger than before
@@redWarrior747 Nobody cares. We do care about the homicides of innocent children and women though. You should talk about that sometime.
@@cubeofmars291 So you have to see woman and child Palestinian condition
Where do Hamas leaders live now?
Gaza
@@uyu973Incorrect! The top leadership lives in Doha; a few miles away from the US military base in Qatar.
@@afm9999 that's true, the leadership of HMS lives there but the real leadership of the active military wing lives in Gaza.
Solid
evilness never win
stand up for Palestine
But not for Hamas
abolutely the world needs to stand with Palestine
You conveniently not mention that ISRAEL created HAMAS.
Hasbunallah
“Iz-lah-mist” 🤔
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Palestinians show that they are not free, and don't want freedom. Didn't you watch the video? There have been no elections since Hamas took power.
Free hostages
Free Palestine from HAMAS
@@kittykate168 they took hostage so IDF won't take them out
The question is how powerful is Black September now? FAFO
Whay Palestinian didnt ask for a country from the autumns? Or British?
Their end is near.
the end of hamas is near
Whose??
That’s not true
You should also make, How USA funding Genocide of Palestine by Israel apharteid
1947
Never hamas kills
And he cause all both rich and poor free and bond to receive a mark on their right hands or forehead.
How much lie do you want to spread:
This channel: YES!
Hammzz 🔥🔥💪🇪🇭👍🇪🇭🇪🇭🇮🇳🇪🇭🤲🤲🤲🇪🇭
Charter: "Killing of jews"? Are you sure the wording is not somewhat … sharper?
Why not calling it terror organization in the opening?
And why is it a terrorist organization? Because you don’t like it ?
Why
Hamas is Gaza; Gaza is Hamas. Stop lying
O vey
did you say that palestine was made in 1987, bro palestine was here before america even existed, even Christans say yes.
atta benzona
Very incomplete information about Hamas network, strength & it's great army.
No mention of where they are all hiding either!
they fight face to face and they've taken alot of your lands in opposite of your army which is afraid of entering Gaza on ground
@@edhcb9359
Lack information of hamas being a terrorist organisation using Palestinians as a life shield
Great? Yeah right. Another brainwashed guy spreading lies on CZcams
Lies lies lies!!!
Im sorry but if you dont think cooking babies doesnt have serious consequences ... Your the problem...
Vietnam defeated America and the Taliban defeated the Soviet Union and America despite the very large difference in power. Why does Hamas not defeat Israel? Everything is possible if there is sound combat doctrine and determination, even if the whole world stands with Israel
No gaza?
@@beatsbyme_3738 No israel
It's like saying that Russia should win because they're stronger
@@user-vi7zh3vi5wAre you really siding with Hamas?
@@cubeofmars291 what the different both killing woman and children
How powerful is Hamas?
I reckon the strength of a small Pony.
I hope Hamas is dealt with so the Palestinians can be free.
Hamas was established in the 80' and the Palestinians are under occupation since 1948
hamas≠palestinians. we all know how rascist and inhuman israel & US are and are built on the blood of innocent lives and their lands
dont give these lines TO FREE THEIR PEOPLE same has been used by your Presidents for thousands of times before in case of IRAN, IRAQ, LIBIYA, AFGHANISTAN, VIETNAM to name a few..... FYI they are free they dont need any white skin to come and free themselves which in reality is to make themselves slaves so apply yo minds before falling into this trap know your history and geography.
Yes, Hib. As long as Hamas is in power and doesn't allow free elections, the Palestinians will never be free.
Lie
free Palestine

Islam prophesy is return of Israel to muslims. Abraham and his progeny did not have hardly much land. Looks like someone changed the Torah and millions lost their home and dead.

Been following the economist videos for a long time . And this is by sure the least professional and credible video you have made . First , not answering the question . And second , lack of references and resources .
