- Israeli leaders insist on an open-ended war in Gaza until the Palestinian group Hamas is defeated, but this goal is a “fantasy”, argues former Israeli government adviser Daniel Levy.
Levy, president of the US/Middle East Project, tells host Steve Clemons that the biggest problem is the Joe Biden administration’s refusal to act as a superpower and stop bankrolling Israel’s war.
Levy also explains how the war on Gaza has put the ideology of Zionism “under the microscope”, and how Israel and the West have prevented the Palestinians from rebuilding a robust national liberation movement.

Netanyahu wants ALL of the land that Palestinians have & had.
and he wants to deport or kill everyone
Even south Libanon 🇱🇧 , Irak 🇮🇶, Jordania 🇯🇴, Sinaï ! They want apocalyps for ther fals Messiah !
Why is Egypt not taking in the Palestinian mothers, children & babies?
@Petal4822 that's helping ethnic cleansing .. how disingenuous are you
He has it already :)
"If Israelis don't want to be accused of being like the Nazis, they simply need to stop behaving like Nazis." - Norman Finkelstein
The Nazis were those that genocided Jews. And Gaza looks just like Berlin in '45. And for the same reason. They genocided Jews.
son of hamas co-founder: hamas is evil"
Pretty lame quote, who the f cares what Israelis want?
It is making me feel deep shame for being Jewish and sadness and anger toward family members who support Israel. Never again, means never again for everyone. Feel for the Palestinian plight.
Do not be ashamed of being Jewish! Many Christians are zionists, but most are not. Many Jews are not zionists either. Peace be with you. Luke 19: 41-44.
Don't be.
You have humanity, and you are on the right side.

You are the one with the plight!
Do not feel this way. Help them with social media and walks xxx

@@Petal4822you again .. just copying and pasting yeh .. bot
Without the Palestinians.👌
The answer is simple it wants Gaza.
But without the Gazans. 💔
The people of Gaza need to hoof it into Egypt….most Gazans are Egyptian Arabs anyway.
Lebanon and syria also part of 🇮🇱
They already had Gaza in 2005, but they returned it. Clearly, the correct answer is that they want Hmas, not Gza.
@@Petal4822 Egypt is irrelevant to this situation. Egypt is its own sovereign entity. Israel cannot expect for other nations to simply do what is convenient and expedient for Israel. Egypt has every right to lock its own border from refugees from this conflict.
Israel's actions for the last 80 years have made it quite clear what they want. The US and Britain's actions are also clearly saying that they know what Israel wants and that they support it. All of these parties, Britain for about 100 years now, have been very consistent with their actions as it relates to this land and the people who live there. There is no need for any of them to verbalize what their intentions are. Actions speak louder than words.
Don't west time netanyahu must arrest
If the British are so generous why don't they give zionists a piece of their own land ?
Why did the US and UK refuse to supply weapons to Israel in 1948. Israel had to purchase most of the weapons used in war of independence from Czechoslovakia under control of Stalin in Russia.

Netanyahu has already said that he plans to build settlements in Gaza, so obviously he wants g-cide. What are you even asking, AJ?
Arabs have wanted to g-cide the Israelis since the UN created the state
It's strange how nobody is calling Russia's invasion of Ukraine a genocide, although far more Ukrainians have been dispersed than Gazans.
I suppose it's because Ukrainians are a more mature society.
genocide accusation is false. gaza population is 2 million. assume 40 thousand palestinians dead (a high estimate). 40 thousand/ 2million means 2% of gaza population dead due to war. Don't forget war started by hamas on oct 7.

One thing must be changed in the Israeli society to offer equality for the Palestinian people who are still refugees with a continual reduction of their land by illegal settlements. The shipping people in from other countries and nations that will hold dual citizenship as "settlers" must be stopped immediately. Many of these land thieves are bad actors, who see an opportunity to steal, kill and destroy with impunity. Others see an opportunity to glean the benefits from where they come from and from low cost housing, free medical and other opportunities from moving to a land their ancestors from the time of Babylonian captivity, never lived in or even wanted to return to, once they were free to do so, and they were.
I've found it difficult to stomach seeing so many people who are walking around with such pride and arrogance, enjoying all the benefits of this regime who are obviously not from the region due to not only their appearance, but also how they speak. As an American veteran I resent our tax dollars of billions upon billions going to support them. I'm not alone in this sentiment. Americans are sick of it and those who've just been made aware of it are outraged by it.
The Israeli apartheid military regime is not a democracy. Just as the Palestinian Authority needs to be changed, so does this regime.
yes they are really. A lot of settlers are there with ill intentions, probably people who never worked, amounted to anything before, go there to feel superior and enjoy the lawlessness land and wealth grab of natives.
I think everyone knows what Israel wants. Israel is simply an extension of British colonial power. British was responsible for over 165 million death under its colonialism. But Israel is not UK empire. So it can only start small for land grab. And it doesn't have enough troop to colonize. So it is easier to get rid of people on the land and take them. Then they can build hotels and resorts to make money. Eventually if successful, it will expand to Egypt or Jordan.

Thank you Al Jazzera and Daniel for trying to bring peace to the world.
As an American I have noticed for some time most middle eastern policy is directed out of Jerusalem with only minor deviations tolerated. AIPAC and JDL are very powerful here full of vengeance and victimhood towards any one who dares to speak against Israel. Very sad experience for those of us who pay attention to Gaza horrors.

Let’s remember Israel was created on stolen Palestinian land and start there with 1948⁉️
What about the Palestinian prisoners taken hostage that if alive amount to more than 10 thousand in Israeli concentration camps?
Tell me...who ruled this fake so called "palestine"? What king? What president? Who???
Since this is called a "war" they are prisoners of war and the red cross should demand to inspect and international law applies.
There was no Palestine
There was no stolen land. In 1948 the arabs started a war and lost. That’s the nature of war. If you start one you might lose. You can’t start a war and when you lose say “sorry, didn’t mean to try to wipe you off the face of the earth … now give me back the land I lost trying to obliterate you”.
And there are prisons exclusively holding Palestinian children. Why are they imprisoning children?
This must be updated because the 1 billion in weapons went there!!
so far $2.3 Billion in wepons and $7.2 Billion financial AID
Why is Egypt not taking in the Palestinian mothers, children & babies?
Stop funding UNRAW !!
@@Petal4822 Why are you defending Israel as they massacre many Palestinian mothers and children, and make refugees of the rest?
@@Petal4822 Because they don't want to break international law? Israel might consider that route someday.
Not only does it want Gaza as its own territory it is banking on the idea that they will be able to secure the offshore gas that is off the Gaza border. They have explicitly told BPN on that they had interest in the area, and they wanted to sell the rights to dig multiple gas companies in the region.
It is sheer, greed, and capitalistic resource bargaining. That is causing this.
Yes, Gaza marine has Gas, Lebanon and Cyprus have has, West bank has oil.
In 1948 after Israel declared independence (end of british rule), Jordan army crossed the Jordan river into Judea & Samaria (known as the west bank by MSM) and east Jerusalem. The Jordan army killed or drove away the Jewish people. The Jordan army then destroyed Jewish property or took it over. Jordan then encouraged Jordanian settlement in the occupied land. Jewish property not destroyed became occupied by Jordanians. After the Israeli victory in 1967 and Jordnian disillusionment with their expansion effort (1988), Jordan revoked the Jordanian citizenship of "palestinians" in Judea & Samaria (known as the west bank by MSM) and east Jerusalem. For the most part "palestinians" are leftover Jordanian colonist (Gaza residents more closely tied to Egypt). The homeland of the majority of "palestinians" is Jordan.
Land. Land for free. Access to oil reserves. And so on...
Oil reserves? Explain.
@@MIKEENBAR sure, check the UN trade and development (UNCTAD study) about the sizable oil and natural gas reserves that West Bank sits on and the Mediterranean coast off Gaza strip.
Thats the problem with greedy people its want want want want
It is more than greed and envy. It is a pychopathic, self absorbed sense of entitlement at any cost. God complex. It will be the downfall of the wicked.
DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER THE KILLING FIELDS OF CAMBODIA
Another pet project of the USA
Or the nightly treat on TV showing the hacked dead bodies floating down a river by the tens of thousands night after night in Rwanda while Clinton sat on his hands?!
Yes, never thought any country would ever want to follow in pol pots footsteps gaza is a killing field at the hands of Netanyahu and all the rhetoric has not bought forward any action to stop the ethnic cleansing.
I have read about those, horrifying. This case is so similar. And we are watching it happen in real time whilst being gaslit by the mainstream media that “It’s not happening, it’s not a genocide, it’s ‘human shields’”. We are not stupid.
