Script:
To my Palestinian brothers and sisters, and to anyone who supports the Palestinian people, I implore you:
Please do not let Hamas brainwash you into thinking it has "achieved" anything on our behalf.
It hasn't.
Not in the Gaza Wars of 2021, 2014, 2012 or 2008.
Each one of these pointless conflicts has been a catastrophe, costing us dearly in lives and treasure.
Hamas is not a social justice movement, and it certainly does not care about the Palestinian people.
It is a criminal gang that only cares about increasing its own power.
Israel is not the main cause of your suffering.
Hamas is the main cause.
Israel is not your jailer.
Hamas is.
It was Hamas that led you into this most recent disaster.
They told you that the Israelis were evicting innocent Palestinians from their homes in the Sheik Jarrah area of East Jerusalem.
This is a lie.
The people living in those homes weren't tenants; they were squatters. They hadn't paid rent for decades.
They told you that the Israelis planned to destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque.
This, too, is a lie.
The mosque is still there. It will be there tomorrow. Say what you want about the Israelis, they are not stupid. They know that if they actually attempt to destroy Al Aqsa, it would lead to war with every Muslim country.
Yes, Hamas takes action and thus looks strong next to its rival, the corrupt Fatah party. But the only action it takes is to lead us into chaos.
Hamas has no ability - and, in fact, no desire - to govern.
The water isn't safe to drink, the power goes out for hours at a time, raw sewage washes up on your beaches. The Israelis are not responsible for these dismal failures - Hamas is. And everybody in Gaza knows it.
It is Hamas that steals the imported cement meant to build houses for you and uses it instead to build a massive network of tunnels from which it hopes to terrorize Israelis. It is Hamas that makes sure humanitarian aid meant for you is diverted to its favored elites who then sell it for a profit on the black market.
And it is Hamas that uses you as human shields, stationing rocket launchers and missile arsenals in your apartments, office buildings, schools and even hospitals.
Israel uses rockets to defend its people. Hamas uses people to defend its rockets.
As for its war strategy, Hamas doesn't have one. It fires missiles at the most highly populated regions of Israel, with no specific target. Yet, I know from my sources in Gaza that as much as 25 percent of all rockets launched by Hamas in May 2021 crashed within Gaza. Fifty Gaza civilians were killed by these rockets, their deaths falsely blamed on Israel.
Are you aware of the fact that some of the Hamas missiles that Israeli Defense Forces failed to intercept ended up exploding in places like Jaffa, Abu Ghosh and Lod - where Arab Israelis live? Palestinians living in Israel are as likely to be killed as Israelis themselves.
Hamas couldn't care less.
And what was gained?
Palestinians living in those four buildings in Sheikh Jarrah will still eventually be evicted, a fact that has been known to those families since they sold away the title to those buildings.
Think about the even greater number of Palestinians who are now homeless in Gaza because Hamas chose to hide weapons in residential buildings.
And when naïve American and European NGO's offer millions to "rebuild Gaza" who do you think will get that money? It won't be you - the people who really deserve it and need it; it will be the leaders of the Hamas gang and their friends who will add new rooms to their fancy villas rather than rebuild homes, purchase coronavirus vaccines, or provide social services for their people.

“Israel uses rockets to defend its people. Hamas uses people to defend its rockets.”
The wisest and most accurate statement I have heard between the difference of Israel and Hamas.
Consistent with a terrorist organization
This is exactly what Iran and Hamas want, obviously. They knew this was going to happen to Gaza, and yet they went through with their rampage against Israeli families and children, anyway. Their intent is to get other Muslim countries so enraged by this attack on Gaza that they will all join in and attack Israel, as well, in order to achieve their often stated end goal: “to drive them into the sea."
😂 are you delusional?

its the logic of islam - complete nihilism
@@ujai6978 looking at world wars, US invasions and the way Israel treat non jews (including christians) I would say muslims are way more open and tolerant. Facts don't care about your feelings
@@Amir_97then you are completely brainwashed. Hamas is one of the most radical islamist terror group on the planet.
@@Amir_97And how many years did you live in Israel? I guess you have never been there. I live here for more than a decade and it looks like half of students in my college are arabs, either christians or muslims and every one is treated equally. Moreover, main professor of my faculty is arab and it does not bother anyone because he is valued not by his origin, but knowledge.
There is a channel of Yosef Haddad where you can find proves that your facts are not facts at all.
In Israel anyone who is willing to make their life better by actions and deeds can achieve what they want, but those with psychology of victims will always blame another one of their fault and feel themselves entitled.
So, please, make sure you check information next time before blaming anyone.
Imagine giving a starving man a leg of chicken only to watch him rip the meat off the bone, break it into jagged ends and lunge at your throat with it.
Now imagine that after he's stabbed you with it, a pack of privileged students comes along and criticizes you for surviving and for not giving that poor starving man another leg of chicken.
It's mind-blowing.
Brilliant analogy.
The irony/tragedy is that in college, "higher education" is supposed to be educating a nation's leaders and highly responsible people. Having a college education used to be a high-status thing; now a run-of-the-mill college degree is not valued in the marketplace, and given that critical thinking skills tend not to be taught in college/university nowadays, we're turning out a pool of sophisticated unemployable fools. What a waste.
Israel didn’t “give” the Palestinians anything. IT’S THEIR LAND.
Those protestors are just like HAMAS, in that they don't actually care what happens to the palestinians. The protestors are just trying to gain social media clout and attention
@@RavenousPotatowell they didn’t know
This video is 2 years old! The truth has always been out there.
Great to hear a Palestinian who is not a dupe of Hamas.

Yes, but you also have to be careful about PragerU, and unfortunately and overall, a large amount of videos one sees on CZcams, because all those organizations putting videos on CZcams, some of which cost 25 or 30,000 dollars per video to produce, all have an agenda, and they are all trying to brainwash people in one direction or the other. Btw, PragerU, despite its name, is NOT a university: it does not hold classes, does not award degrees of any kind, etc. If one wants to understand a situation, the best is to do your own, independent research, and not resort to social media of any kind for that purpose.
At a 1956 funeral for an Israeli soldier killed by Palestinians in Gaza, *Gen. Moshe Dayan*, one of *Israel’s most famed military leaders*, advised the following:
_Let us not cast the blame on the murderers today. Why should we deplore their burning hatred for us? For eight years they have been sitting in the refugee camps in Gaza, and before their eyes we have been transforming the lands and villages, where they and their fathers dwelt, into our estate._
_We are a generation that settles the land and without the steel helmet and the cannon's maw, we will not be able to plant a tree and build a home... Let us not fear to look squarely at the hatred that consumes and fills the lives of hundreds of Arabs who live around us. Let us not drop our gaze, lest our arms weaken. That is the fate of our generation. That is our choice - to be ready and armed, tough and hard - or else the sword shall fall from our hands and our lives will be cut short._
New UN report states that the UN secretary General and and Israel admit there is ZERO evidence of rape on Oct 7 after examining all of the 5,000 photos, 50 hours of videos and audio from the day.
Mass rape on Oct 7 was just another Israeli atrocity propaganda like 40 beheaded babies.
And yet the woke "students" and Pro Palestinians in America and around the world will them him to "educate yourself"
To every American college person that has no idea about the struggle, watch this video!
Sadly, today’s average American college person is an idiot.
The truth that was never told. The truth that was hidden from us.
@@Tragicide If you're talking about the far left in America, they do not care about the truth, they want only to cause strife as they profit from it.
It wouldn't matter. They are so indoctrinated they would just say "consider the source" and go right on hating Jews and the West. Protest nation, that we paid for. Most universities these days would be better for society if they were parking lots.

And yet, P.A. leader Mahmoud Abbas, who serves in the same role today, rejected the offer.

@@urbandad885 They took action? ??? They rebuilt the exact same dam that did not hold.
Dam? Levees? Concrete walls built on muck. That ain't a dam, or a levee. The real original levees are earthen banks 20 or more feet high and wide enough for a 2 lane road on them. I know, having driven on a couple. Of course, something like that takes up a lot of real estate, while a piddling little wall does not. Do you know how Canal Street got it's name? It WAS a canal. They filled it in so they could build on it.

They didn't seek the West Bank while Jordan controlled it (1949-1967) but called it disputed once Israel took control following the Six-Day War. In 1980, Israel offered Palestinians autonomy, a step towards independence, which was rejected. In 2000 and 2008, Israel offered control of virtually all the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with a capital in East Jerusalem. Each offer was rejected, and the 2000 rejection led to a violent uprising.

Israel didn't cause the Arab Spring, they didn't cause the Iraq war, they didn't cause the in-fighting between Arab states or within Arab states, they didn't cause the in-fighting between Suni and Shia, they didn't cause the financial melt down in Lebanon and Syria, they didn't cause the loss of materials and natural habitat in the Arab world, they didn't cause the mismanagement and loss of water resources in the Arab world.

As if that someone can stop Hamas, they can not be stopped by normal means...
Arab (and Western countries) governments knows it, and it's the major thing needed. But it would be, very helpful for the Palestinians (the ones who live in Palestine, not those who are grandkids of some refugee), if people on the streets would know it as well. Because Hamas is playing on this. They know they can't win, they wanna win the propaganda war, to sacrifice as much human lives in order to gain more protests and more affection. They hope Western countries to crack under social calls due to protestors.

@@tareksaba1ify lol. Zero evidence for your assertions. Are you a troll or just stupid?
Read the book “The Green Prince, Son of Hamas,” so eye opening and amazing! Read it 3 years ago.
Son of Hamas is a very powerful book! I have read it.
They also made a documentary film of the Green Prince and it is fantastic!! Highly recommend
Read it as well. Everyone needs to read that. Shocking and sad how they brainwash their own children.
Such a good book. czcams.com/video/jio5x6e1hOc/video.html

I have been on both sides as a tourist, the way you feel and are treated on both sides tells you who to fear.
I wish many people in all over the world watch this short video, a fellow Palestinian explains Hamas.
This man is a gem of humanity.
Thank you, it was a informative video.

And it's still applicable today 2 years later. Nothing has changed. Hamas has not changed.
What a brave Palestinian man! Telling the truth two years ago!
I don’t always agree with Prager University but this guy nailed it completely. Every word.
The only part that perplexed me was his reference to the Sheikh Jarrah families selling their title to the buildings. As far as I know, they never had title. Jordan just moved in their ancestors.
@@garybkatz Agreed but what do you mean: "... moved in their ancestors". My ancestors are long dead; how are yours doing?
@@d.tr6176 I may have been a bit inarticulate. I was referring to 1948, when Jordan captured Jerusalem, ethnically cleansed every Jew and gave houses in Sheikh Jarrah to Palestinians. The Arab families lived in these Jewish properties for generations, but never acquired any sort of legal title.
You said that Israel wouldn't destroy al-Aqsa because they are afraid to go to war. The truth is, they wouldn't- simply because it's a state of religion- the holy land, and every religion is accepted and protected there. Unlike Hamas that would happily destroy synagogues and churches because they are "Haram".

The perfect short video to sum it all up
This video is very interesting, it discusses things from another perspective. For those who have never been to the Middle East region, there are some things that need to be discussed in more detail. This is an interesting item. if there is a way for some discussions to occur, perhaps those discussions would lead to a reduction in the violence that the area is now experiencing.
I knew about this for years and I've been trying to get that point across, but this guy did an extreme service for the people of Palestine and Israel.
God, imagine unironically being a conservative in 2021 after everything they've done and lied about. Smh. Civil, economic, legislative, Its not like all of history has proven them wrong every time right up to the present day. Conservatives have been proven wrong about literally everything throughout all of history, Covid, hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, Palestine, civil rights ( yes the southern switch did happen, no Lincoln wasn't a conservative, he was a left leaning republican in a mixed party), economic rights, the 8-hour work day, the 5-day work week, ending child slavery, women's rights, gay rights, trans rights, rights for the poor, social security, infrastructure spending, healthcare, ...etc etc etc etc etc. We, the left gave you the things you now take for granted. You did redlining, trickle down economics, deregulation, waging for profit wars and many other great right wing garbage hits. Lol. Conservatives have been shown to have low IQs as a voting block, were taken in by an insane conspiracy and even tried a failed fascist coup! A coup that failed because of overwhelming conservative incompetence. Yet they still expect us to take them seriously? Smh. You all need to learn media literacy and critical thinking!
The term "Palestinian People" as a description of Arabs in Palestine appeared for the first time in the preamble of the 1964 PLO Charter, drafted in Moscow. The Charter was affirmed by the first 422 members of the "Palestinian" National Council, handpicked by the KGB. This term was formally used by newspapers around the world after 1967.
The Arabs who lived in the region became “Palestinians” only after the war of 1967. Before that, Judea and Samaria, together with Jerusalem, were occupied by Jordan, and Gaza was occupied by Egypt - but not a single arab thought of himself as a “Palestinian”. Moreover, to call an Arab a “Palestinian” would mean to insult him. “We are not Jews, we are Arabs”, they used to say in answer.”

@@bryceknight-ryder3239 The speaker in this video isn't a conservative. He is a liberal and he is actually a well respected academic.

But he is not a conservative and despite what this video would lead you to believe, he is not pro Israeli either. He has long criticized Israel's human rights records, but as a liberal he cannot in good faith support Hamas because they are conservative religious extremists.

Most of them are already know it, but they prefer to ignore from that because it doesn't fit their barbaric narrative. And the BDS is an antisemitic group
Zionist hasbara propaganda only works on American boomers who know jack sh*t, not on Palestinians and actual people that know this conflict

The Palestinians are oppressed because of its dictatorship Palestinian governments, not because of Israel.

Its okay. Just don't do it again, that goes for everyone on both sides of this conflict while we are at it.
@@SehlraC The funniest thing is that you think you can write an internet denial to an apology to increase your moral status or ego. How sad and small an act, to be so hateful you can’t even just pass by a comment of apology, instead of chastising someone for it.
Name one culture or people who have not committed the same atrocities, this is what’s wrong with the world. You all just try to pretend you are the greater victim instead of realizing HUMAN BEINGS have done untold numbers of atrocities for the history of our existence. I could look back in any person’s heritage and find something to berate you over, but I wouldn’t ever assume you were of the same ilk and going to commit the same. It is in your current actions and attempts that prove your character to those around you. Your obvious extreme hatred and lack of understanding that someone should be misguided and change their attitude after learning the truth does nothing but perpetuate infinite war and conflict… Shame on you…
You espouse a dislike for atrocity and yet continue to perpetuate the same hatred that created them in the first place.
I am a hebrew too. Today we generally use the term jew but we are referring to all he rews/israelites today with that term. Not just 1 tribe

Thank you for your concise explanation of the situation in Gaza Bassem. Hopefully your words are heard by many.
In light of the current Hamas attacks against Israel, would enjoy hearing from this person once more.
Little has changed. The only thing that has changed is how many people will dogpile on Israel, and how fast they will do so (as soon as casualties start to mount). HAMAS is very good at public relations. Israel has never been good at public relations. We will never know accurate casualty counts until Red Crescent can go in.
@@BNuts Your comments on spot on. One of my coworkers is Palestinian, and a vocal one at that, who attempts to hold court around the water cooler. I still remember the day, 9-12-2001, when she said, and I quote “The U.S. brought this upon themselves because of their support for Israel.” As I needed the job, I had to refrain from saying and doing what would have otherwise come naturally.
@@BNuts I agree. Israel should stop apologizing for being.
You trust the Red Crescent? For my part, I have stopped trusting the Red Cross about a decade ago, maybe two. I don't see how the Red Crescent would be worthy of more trust than the Red Cross.
@@d.tr6176 I trust International Red Cross more than I trust HAMAS. Which is not at all. I would assume Red Crescent, their branch for the region, would give numbers that would be closer to the truth.
But even if the numbers were accurate, nobody is really, seriously asking _why_ the numbers are what they are. The reason is that HAMAS has, since they gained control of Gaza in 2006, not built any defensive measures for their citizens. This is to be expected: they prefer to use their citizens as defensive measures for their weapons.
You can tell how much HAMAS cares for the lives of ordinary Palestinian civilians: they built tunnel systems, but keep them closed to civilians. They built numerous hospitals on top of many of these tunnels. About 34, to memory, dot the Gaza Strip alone. But there are no shelters, no water treatment or power infrastructure other than what Israel provides -- for free, mind you. I don't know about their agriculture, but apparently HAMAS itself has enough provisions to withstand a siege for about a year. The Palestinians, meanwhile, are starving, dehydrated, and very ill. And what water they have, they're getting out of water treatment machines that were made in Israel. Why should HAMAS care for their people when Israel will do it for them, right?
When Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005, they wanted the Palestinians to built their own Singapore-like modern state. Instead, they got a smaller version of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in sneezing range.
A remarkable man. I wish him long life and good health.
Thank you for your honesty. You are a great man. May God bless you. Please look after your people.
