i dont know much about war. it doesnt interst me at all. id rather watch videos about prime numbers or even game theory but war... is like sport, its like history, its like politics... o btw .. TRUMP 2024!!!! 3whoooooi110!! people out channel 5. UR THE BEST TH-cam CHANNEL
@@Bibibosh Trump will be an even bigger dog to the Israeli state than Harris could have been, sadly, though both candidates are honestly pretty terrible.
Legitimate ethnic cleansings have been taking place for years in Sudan, in Yemen, & in Syria to name a few, but why are we conditioned to only care about lsrael and PaIestine ??
Journalism has been dead since big corporations have invested in them and have most of the say. Andrew definitely leans towards the left, however luckily doesn’t push it onto everyone such as CNN/NBC. Until he truly stays neutral, I doubt it will be the best “news” Good video still, don’t get me wrong.
The fact that you have video footage is wild and it is amazing you have local interviewers out there putting the work in to bring it to the masses is very impressive. Keep up the work. We need it, even if one disagrees or agrees with what it is being brought forth through this type of work. Again, please keep growing, learning, and interviewing people from all of the world. I am also disheartened that social media algorithms are not picking up the work being done via channel five. Anyways I am rambling and will sign off by saying thank you for your work again.
Kidnapping toddlers is insane too. Both sides are to blame for horrific acts. I say this as an Israeli. Unfortunately, there's not much hope for any of us. Not while terrorists, extremists and war criminals are in charge. I feel the pain of the people of Lebanon. I wish we could find peace.
@@BugManiacRoy The unfortunate thing is that so many crimes have happened to people in Israel and in Lebanon that it would be unreasonable to tell people to stop fighting. Violence begets greater violence. I don't believe in such things, but I pray for your people.
I don't think he's necessarily moved on from that, though. His style of real journalism works just as well in a strip club or in the UN. In all cases they're showing the perspectives of real people, whatever their station in life
With so many news outlets portraying a singular point of view from all sides of these conflicts, it's extremely valuable to have a video where all viewpoints and historical information is displayed at once. Thank you Andrew and Channel 5 Crew.
I feel like nearly every discussion involving Israel is a vacuum for critical thinking. People are horrendously misinformed, completely biased, or in most cases, both. To the point that it's pointless to talk about it at all, as people ignore facts that disagree with their viewpoint and speak with emotions whether or not there is factual basis for what they are saying. Nobody listens or learns anything. When you have lies and disinformation on two sides of an issue, the truth is NOT to be found in the middle. It's great to hear people share their experiences and express their feelings, and also to have things put in context by the professor.
It did not get all points of view - the Israeli POV here is incredibly shallow and misrepresented. the video is sadly very one-sided in almost every aspect. Some attempts were made in showing some diversity, which is a nice thought, but in practice this video is severely biased.
This video is so fucking important and it made me cry when that man says that he has lost the ability to feel talking about his mother and sister being taken from him. It’s just heartbreaking.
Not trying to be dark. But he is a perfect example of how militant "terrorists/freedom fighters" are made. When the people you love are taken from you like that you look for someone or something to blame and it changes you. Makes you harder and deader inside. And all you want is to let out all the hate and anger and sorrow you feel from having these people taken so unfairly. He's right "there war is with them, why did they kill my mother and sister?" It's and endless cycle of death and suffering. I'm not saying this dude is gonna go off and join a group who does horrible shit. But I'm saying the risk of him doing that is SIGNIFICANTLY higher now than it was.
What about the Israelis who face terror daily and lose family members do you feel for them? Of course not cause the media doesn't tell you to and you do what you're told!
Keep outlets like channel 5 alive and well. I look forward to your continued coverage of the political landscape in the US and abroad. Andrew, and the growing team of journalists at channel 5 shine light on topics that are not traditionally discussed, and talk to the people they’re interviewing in a nonjudgmental way that really lets people open up and say how they really feel. It’s disappointing there isn’t more outlets like channel 5 doing the hard work, and not just rage baiting us with crazy headlines.
Journalism died in the 70s. Everything is opinion based. Andrew leans into liberal ideology but does a good job trying not to push agendas; something cnn/abc/nbc/msnbc cant do…
Thanks for making these AND letting us know when something is being hidden. I'm glad the videos are at least not being removed. Thanks for what you do! Corporations can't and won't do what you do. Much needed work!
Why was this reuploaded? Did TH-cam take down the original upload? It is crazy how hard this platform is trying to strangle true journalism out like this…
It’s because this is journalism that: 1. Doesn’t make us angry at our fellow Americans 2. Maintains objectivity and explores both sides of an issue 3. Acknowledges that context defines conversations
Interviews by local journalists in the language of people actually impacted by the events is the best journalism. Primary source perspectives like these are invaluable. Allowing experts to weigh in to provide necessary context and a commitment to giving voice to conflicting opinions is excellent. How you manage to obtain interviews with people like the Hezbollah commander is a mystery but it makes Channel 5 a truly unique news outlet. I was surprised to learn about the ethnic diversity in northern Israel close to the border with Lebanon. The situation is very complicated and sad but obviously civilians, particularly children, should be protected. The segment about the strike on American journalists is infuriating.
it is just so so crazy to me that I am drinking matcha in my kitchen in a nice home in america while people are forced to face the most terrible reality and sides of humanity as if it’s normal.
Get out and volunteer. Why not go over there and save the country? This comment screams "virtue signaling" a bit. "Look how much i care about this topic by saying that I do" A person of action would have closed the video and began researching ways to help.
That’s because we don’t have a strong Islamic presence that promotes verses like Surah 9:29 and Surah 2:216. It’s a shame that apostasy results in death instead of being able to ask questions.
@@jacupwakup9109 can't wait to see you over there. It's not virtue signaling to bring up the juxtaposition. It's like right now there's people starving in the streets of the US and Elon Musk is now the richest man in the world. Could you imagine if you went out and helped for EVERY situation? What about the civil wars in Africa? Do you not care about them? What about the child sex slaves in Indonesia? What about China trying to take control of Taiwan? Don't you care about them? What about the police brutality in the US? What about the mass shootings in the US? God your such a virtue signaler. You pretend to care about people yet look at all the suffering you are doing nothing about.
This is such an amazing piece of news! The way you broke down the story with clear details and visuals made it so engaging and easy to understand. I really appreciate the effort you put into ensuring your audience gets the full context and facts without any fluff. It’s rare to see such high-quality, balanced reporting these days, and this channel always delivers. Keep up the great work-it’s creators like you who make staying informed enjoyable and inspiring. Looking forward to more updates and stories like this!
Channel 5, you are doing great work. Keep it up! I appreciate you putting news first and not giving into the pressure of those in power! Please keep reminding us of those who are being oppressed. Especially by the countries we live in and those who support the occupation. Again, thank you for all you’re doing!
Andrew, I really appreciate how Channel 5 consistently delivers an unbiased perspective on such complex topics like the Israel-Hezbollah conflict. Your ability to give people on all sides a chance to speak for themselves makes your reporting incredibly insightful. Another thing I love about this channel is how you stay authentic and raw - it feels like you're genuinely trying to understand the truth rather than pushing an agenda. Lastly, the way you engage with everyday people, rather than just experts or politicians, makes these stories feel relatable and real. Keep up the great work!
Watch from 3:00 to 3:15. Yes they interview both sides and give more context than any other mainstream network but they gladly set a tone that leads people to their desired conclusion.
Salute to Andrew Callahan and the entire crew and staff at channel 5. They are out here doing real journalism. They are not out here interviewing paid actors and influencers. They are out here doing man on the street stuff. That kind of reporting still has value. And it's more value than any talking head pundits circle jerking on CNN MSNBC or Fox News. Thanks to channel 5 for insightful content. The production quality is consistently high for the budget they work with and the quality they deliver. I hope channel 5 reaches more people and I hope big news takes note of how it really is done. Salute to Channel 5.
Andrew!! Thank you for all your hard word and thank you to the correspondents. I’ve loved your work for a while. Hearing from folks in the affected areas was heavy but needed to help me empathize. This was so authentic and moving. I really hope for liberation for all the oppressed in that region. Overall I’m heartbroken for all the loss, broken families, stolen futures, PTSD, and so much more that comes with occupation. Keep up the stellar work. What’s going on in Palestine and the surrounding areas in not ok
This video is incredibly well-made! The way you explained [insert key topic] was so clear and engaging. I love how you broke down the concepts and made them easy to understand. The visuals and editing really added to the experience - it kept me hooked the entire time. I also appreciate the effort you put into researching this; it’s clear you know your stuff! Definitely going to share this with others who would benefit from this. Looking forward to more content like this. Keep up the amazing work! 👍🔥 Anyone else love this as much as I did?
Channel 5 News is hands down one of the best news source in the world. The team consistently delivers accurate, unbiased, and critical reporting with a level of professionalism that is unmatched. Every story is well-researched, engaging, and presented in a way that keeps viewers informed and connected. The dedication to uncovering the truth and giving a voice to the voiceless is truly inspiring. It is clear that the team values journalistic integrity and puts in the hard work to make sure every report matters. Channel 5 News has set the gold standard for news media, and I can't imagine a more reliable source for staying informed.
Great Job Channel Five, thank you for going above and beyond to deliver a comprehensive picture of a very complex situation. I hope more people find this channel.
Andrew is out here doing the good work. While MSM keeps trying to push a narrative that helps them retain power, and money, here we get to hear from the people that this senseless acts are effecting. Keep up the good work. I'm constantly impressed with the way this channel is pushing it self.
Thanks for covering this. Tryna get my 100+ words in here so that we can expand visibility. This whole conflict is F’d. Netanyahu needs to be removed. Such a colossal maniacal failure of a situation from all sides. Hoping this comment suffices. Gonna add a few more words here to be sure. Still not sure if it’s 100 yet. Hoping so, though. You just never know unless you count. Maybe I should count. Ok just counted and looks like i was only at 73 words so here I am tryna add another 27 to support the team. Hopefully I’m there now but hard to say. Maybe I should count again. Ok looks like we’re good. Keep up the great work!
This is genuinely one of the most real and raw videos on TH-cam. Andrew you and your team deserve ALL the accolades. Incredibly journalism. This is what the craft is all about.
Why then they didnt mentioned that 40k killed in gaza are words of Hamas that no one can check? Why dont we see any interview with Israely lost his home?
This video is absolutely fantastic! The quality of the content is top-notch, and it's clear that a lot of effort and thought went into creating it. The explanations are clear, engaging, and easy to follow, which makes it incredibly informative and enjoyable to watch. I especially appreciate the attention to detail and the way you broke everything down step by step. Your energy and enthusiasm really shine through, making the video both inspiring and educational. Keep up the great work-this is the kind of content that keeps viewers coming back for more. Looking forward to your next upload!
Im so sick of the shadow banning on youtube. This is important content and I want peopke to see it! It is far better than most if not all cable mainstream news organizations. Please please please continue making this content no matter what! Its so important and we need to be informed. Thanks so much channel five! Power to the truth!
Came here to drop a comment to support the video as well as the channel. Been a follower since Quarter Confessions and it is fantastic to see the reporting being done on this scale. I love the genuine slices of Americana we rarely see so unfiltered and raw but getting to see that same level of reporting done in other countries is eye opening. Thank you for using your channel to host on a national scale so we get to see people's thoughts, feelings, and perspectives on a street level view. I hope you continue to succeed and grow. I'll be sure to share your content with my friends and family to get them invested in your truly unique and genuine coverage.
Thank you, Andrew Callahan and the Channel 5 team, for this incredible piece of journalism. Your ability to tackle such a complex and deeply emotional subject with nuance, honesty, and empathy is truly unmatched. It’s refreshing to see reporting that doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities while also giving voice to those directly affected. In a time when sensationalism often overshadows thoughtful storytelling, your work stands as a testament to what journalism can and should be. Please keep doing what you do-your dedication to uncovering and sharing the truth is both inspiring and deeply needed. Respect and gratitude!

This video sheds light on a subject not many are willing to explore. In the beginning of 2023 when people first started to notice the conflict it was very popular and now it seems no one cares any more. It’s been a whole year since then and it had only gotten worse for the Palestinians and Lebanon. But despite all that I very much appreciate the effort you put in and your integrity as a journalist to still talk about it
This video was absolutely incredible! From the moment it started, I was completely hooked. The content was engaging, well-organized, and clearly explained. You have a way of breaking down complex ideas into something so easy to follow, and I really appreciate the effort you put into making this accessible to everyone. The visuals were stunning and complemented the explanation perfectly-every detail felt intentional and added value. Your energy and passion for the topic really shine through, and it’s contagious! By the end, I felt like I not only understood the subject better but also developed a genuine interest in it. What stood out to me the most was how you included real-life examples, which made the topic relatable and practical. It’s clear you spent a lot of time preparing this, and it paid off. Keep up the amazing work-I’m definitely looking forward to your next video! 👏🎉
Starting to watch, and leaving a comment here in order to help boost the algorithm. Thank you so much for what you do and illuminating the plight of people around the world. It is really so amazing to see all the work that you put into your projects ❤ You bring a lot of hope to me, and I hope this makes a positive difference
Thanks Andrew for this insightful content. I feel like in the West we see a very skewed coverage of this conflict so it's so helpful to have a different perspective from ppl directly affected by the war in Gaza and how they view Israel and it's role in all of this. Long live Channel 5 and independent journalism.
you do realize this conflict has been going on forever right? lots of documentation out there to be found if anyone wants facts unfortunately college kids have no interest in history or facts though 😅
@@HahaGuitarGoBrrr Idk about any of that but as an American our coverage is pretty pro Israel and almost always has been. So when ppl have been protesting here saying it's a genocide the media gets harsh on the protestors; or when ppl rightfully criticize Netenyahu nobody questions why most outside of Israel sees him as a war criminal except for the American mainstream media. I can't speak to the rest of the West but it's frustrating cuz there are hostages and dead Palestinians and Netenyahu seems apathetic to it all.
@IceKumaX13 it’s crazy with how IDF has killed their very own 1sraeli hostages. But that news barely went through US major media outlets. The propaganda against the Middle East is so disheartening
Andrew, once again, you’ve done an incredible job breaking down a complex and sensitive issue with clarity and insight. The Israel-Hezbollah conflict is one that is often oversimplified in mainstream media, but you’ve really dug into the nuances and historical context, making it much more understandable. Your balanced approach and ability to present multiple perspectives are what set you apart. It’s important to stay informed about such critical issues, and your reporting helps us do that in an engaging yet thoughtful way. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more videos that dive into topics like these.
I can’t believe it’s been so incredibly difficult for you to post this without it being suppressed. I think it says a whole lot about the state of media. Clearly, some people some where thinks it’s best if these personal testimonies are erased, and that the public should only hear the sensationalist headlines media outlets throw in their face. Well done. Hope this comment helps
Channel 5 news has served as my preferred source of journalistic content for years now. I love how intentionally thought provoking the videos are, and the subject of every video never fails to pull me in. I particularly enjoy how it touches on tough topics and doesn’t feel as exploitative as other shows. I always feel like the more serious episodes are constructed to add to the bigger picture, not to just shock me or morbidly fascinate me. I always finish a video feeling more informed. It’s great to I have a few more talking points to contribute to a conversation, whether it’s a tough topic that needs some information or a fun conversation about something silly that just happened. It’s been a huge treat seeing Andrew evolve as a journalist, and covering intense topics has elevated my respect for the channel immensely.
Thank you for covering this topic so thoroughly and unbiased. This is important information that needs to be shared and viewed by all people globally. Very important news and tells the truth of what is happening in Lebanon right now. So glad to have this raw, unflinching look at this tragedy. Positive, amazing, helpful, educational, good for everyone to see. The United States should be showing this on the news channels rather than the entertainment bs they call news and show on a daily basis. We need to educate the public, not fill them with untrue information that further fuels biases and the war machine. Fight against the war machine!!! Again, thank you for posting these real news coverages and not the crap fed to us by mainstream media.
Andrew, this is an incredibly well-done video. You’ve tackled a deeply complex and emotional topic with care, nuance, and a genuine effort to present multiple perspectives. Channel 5’s ability to create such thought-provoking content is unmatched, and your approach to this conflict feels both balanced and deeply human. The interviews and firsthand accounts you included were especially impactful, bringing clarity and empathy to a situation that often feels overwhelming. Thank you for shedding light on such an important issue in a way that fosters understanding and dialogue. Outstanding work, as always! Pd: just doing homework… lmao
Andrew asked that we make long winded comments so here we are: Independent journalism plays a vital role in safeguarding democracy and holding power accountable, especially in a world heavily influenced by corporate interests. Free from the pressures of advertisers and shareholders, independent media provides an unfiltered lens into pressing issues, uncovering truths that may otherwise remain hidden. It ensures diverse perspectives are heard, fostering informed public discourse. In an era where profit-driven narratives can dominate mainstream outlets, independent journalism acts as a counterbalance, challenging biases and promoting transparency. By prioritizing public interest over profit, it empowers citizens to make educated decisions and protects the fundamental right to access unbiased, accurate information.
This video was absolutely fantastic! The production quality is top-notch, and the way the content was presented kept me engaged from start to finish. I really appreciated the effort put into making everything so clear and easy to follow. The energy and passion you bring to your work are inspiring and make the video so enjoyable to watch. It’s clear that a lot of thought and dedication went into creating this, and it really paid off. I can’t wait to see what you post next-keep up the amazing work! This is the kind of content that deserves to go viral!
This is the content that people need to be seeing. It is unfortunate that network news organizations refuse to do journalism in this manner, but it is equally as refreshing to see y’all doing this. Keep up the great work. By the way, I wanted everyone to know that yoga is a healthy habit that can teach you mindfulness and breath control. In this crazy time a place we live in it is important to be present and understand that we can only make decisions one at at time. Please keep this in mind going into the new year. PS channel 5 live Hollywood and vine, we don’t mess custahs and five is the best number. I hope this is a skinned words.
They largely don't, or at the very least their management doesn't. Israel is using the US taxpayer's money to buy out it's media corporations and politicians.
This video meant a lot to me. From the coverage of many different moving parts that make up the horrific conflict plaguing the middle east, to the in depth interviews of real people who are affected tragically everyday. The section highlighting the extreme measures the IDF take to suppress journalism was heartbreaking and anger inducing. The cycle of violence breeds enough hate to inspire young people to avenge their families and friends through any means necessary. Hopefully this video can reach those who want to hurt others and challenge them to choose a different path. Another 10/10 from me. Great job channel 5!!!

@CMD424582 since you asked so nicely Recipe for Flan: A Space Opera Saga In the depths of the Culinary Nebula, where the sweetest stars collide with the richest cosmic creams, the Flan Imperium seeks its champion-a custard so divine it could unite galaxies. Brave the journey, and let the saga of the Flan unfold! Act I: Gathering the Celestial Ingredients 1. Milk of the Lunar Cow (2 cups whole milk) Harvested under the light of the twin moons. 2. Cream of the Nebula (1 cup heavy cream) Rich as the swirling gas clouds of Andromeda. 3. Golden Starlight Crystals (¾ cup sugar) Refined from the core of collapsing stars. 4. Eggs of the Cosmic Phoenix (4 large eggs + 2 yolks) Guardians of creamy stability. 5. Elixir of Vanilla Orchids (1 teaspoon vanilla extract) Essence distilled from the orchids of Vega. Act II: The Forge of Caramel Suns 1. Command your Starship Burner (medium heat) to ignite and melt ½ cup sugar with 3 tablespoons water in a sturdy pan. 2. Watch as the sugar liquefies and transforms into a golden caramel sun. Do not let it burn, lest the bitterness of the Void consume it. 3. Pour the molten caramel into your Starforge Molds (a round baking dish or ramekins), tilting swiftly to coat the base. Act III: Weaving the Custard Galaxy 1. In the Council of Whiskers, combine the Phoenix Eggs and remaining sugar. Stir until harmonious. 2. Add the Lunar Milk, Nebula Cream, and Vanilla Elixir. Blend these cosmic forces into a smooth custard nebula. 3. Strain the mixture through a galactic sieve into the caramel-coated molds, ensuring no stellar debris remains. Act IV: The Steam Chamber of Destiny 1. Preheat your Warp Drive Oven to 325°F (165°C). 2. Place the molds in a larger vessel and fill it with boiling water, halfway up their sides. This creates the Steam Chamber-a delicate balance of heat and moisture. 3. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the Flan’s core wobbles like a distant pulsar. Act V: The Galactic Revelation 1. Allow the Flan to cool in its chamber, then transfer it to the Cryo Hold (refrigerator) for 4-6 hours. 2. To serve, run a blade of starlight around the edge and invert onto a dish. Witness the cascade of caramel, a solar storm upon a creamy planet. Epilogue: The Symphony of Stars As you take your first bite, the flavors of the cosmos will sing, uniting the galaxies in one harmonious dessert. The Flan Imperium stands victorious, thanks to you, brave culinary traveler!
This is a very important video and I'm glad and grateful that you guys are doing this work and posting these kinds of Journalism content online because not many other people are doing it. I am very much looking forward to consuming this content and watching this video when my day is done and I thank you guys for making this type of content and continuing to try and get it out there for us to watch it it's important to have these perspectives shared and available and it's also important do I have people who are willing to go there and interview, boots on the ground so that we can have the perspectives of the people who are living through this looking forward to watching this after work thank you guys
You should seriously consider bringing in more than one “expert” on the history of the region because there is a lot of interpretive license taken by this gentleman.
Yeah, this guy is super disingenuous and biased. When asked about the ethnic cleansing of arab jews he just says 'they moved to israel in 1948' jesus christ.
Wow this video provides a clear and well-researched overview of the complex dynamics of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict. The thoughtful analysis and historical context make it an invaluable resource for understanding the nuances of this ongoing issue. The presentation is balanced, informative, and engaging, shedding light on both the geopolitical and humanitarian aspects of the situation. It’s refreshing to see such an effort to unpack such a sensitive topic with care and accuracy. This kind of content is essential for fostering informed discussions and understanding. Thank you for creating such a meaningful and insightful video!
This video was so profoundly impactful, and truly well done. I feel that I actually have a better understanding of the conflict happening in the middle east after a 1 hour youtube video that I could never have achieved taking a college course for 3 months. I trust this channel more than any mainstream news outlet to offer an unbiased, truthful scope to pressing issues. Keep up the great work Channel 5!

It is crucial to document the various aspects of this conflict and highlight them to Western audiences who may no longer receive information through conventional media channels. I hope TH-cam understands the significance of this issue and lifts the shadowbanning restrictions placed on your account. The content shared is of immense value, and it’s vital for the public to have access to this important information. Thank you, Andrew and Channel 5, for your excellent work in bringing attention to these matters. Your dedication and multilingual delivery make this content even more accessible and valuable for a global audience.
Dear Channel 5 Team, I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding content and exceptional coverage you consistently provide. Your commitment to delivering accurate, timely, and engaging stories is invaluable to our community. Your coverage of local events, breaking news, and important issues not only keeps us informed but also fosters a sense of connection and understanding. I particularly admire the professionalism and dedication of your reporters and staff, who go above and beyond to ensure excellence in journalism. Thank you for your hard work and the positive impact you make. Your efforts are deeply appreciated and do not go unnoticed. I look forward to continuing to rely on Channel 5 for trusted news and quality programming
“Shadow banning is the practice of blocking or partially blocking a user or the user's content from some areas of an online community in such a way that the ban is not readily apparent to the user, regardless of whether the action is taken by an individual or an algorithm. For example, shadow-banned comments posted to a blog or media website would be visible to the sender, but not to other users accessing the site.”
It's incredible how the machine works to shadowban this kind of content, I follow you guys since not a long time and I really enjoy your work, greetings from Chile, the ass crack of the world. Keep doing this kind of content an the world will starts to see how things develops in reality.
Happy to see a thorough, long format video with boots on the ground and interviewing so many sides and actors affected by the conflict and living in the active war area. This level of detail is what we need to build an understanding of the conflict, which is long winded and complex. The interviewees open up to the local interviewers and come off as genuine human beings with wants, needs an opinions. I’m sure a video like this is not easy to make and will not pay off its production cost easily but in the long run it will make me and others respect Channel 5 as a news outlet that doesn’t shy away from tough issues and financially uninteresting projects. Long live Channel 5! Congratulations Andrew and his team!
CNN: frees human torturer Channel 5: gets boots on the ground interviewing citizens from both sides of the conflict. There is a special spot in Heaven for you Andrew. Thank you for your journalism
Incredible work Channel 5. Thank you for putting yourselves on the front line to deliver the news. Your channel's interviews and footage offer excellent perspective into the lives of the people we may see every day and never interact with. Your videos provide the subjects with agency and dignity, while still keeping things entertaining and sometimes whimsical. Oh and James Gelvin could read me a phonebook and it would be fucking enlightening. I have my stances on modern conflicts that I often refrain from sharing because my beliefs are susceptible to changing when faced with new evidence or understandings; that being said, I think this video accurately portrays many concepts within the conflict.
Fighting TH-cam’s algorithmic shadow ban requires viewers to leave comments of 100 words or more, as the platform increasingly prioritizes longer, more engaging interactions. This approach helps combat the algorithm’s suppression of smaller voices, which often occurs in favor of corporate and organizational narratives. The issue reflects a broader problem: large companies and organizations frequently fail to acknowledge humanitarian crises in their “war and conflict policies.” This silence perpetuates one-sided narratives and marginalizes independent voices seeking to highlight these critical issues. By leaving thoughtful, lengthy comments, viewers can push back against algorithmic bias and support creators addressing these ignored realities.
This video is incredible! The effort and creativity that went into this is truly inspiring. The way you explained everything was so clear and engaging, making even the complex parts easy to understand. I also loved the visuals and editing - they added so much energy and kept me hooked from start to finish. Your passion for the topic really shines through, and it’s infectious! Thank you for putting so much effort into this content; it’s clear you care about providing value to your viewers. I’ll definitely be sharing this with friends who’d appreciate it as much as I do. Keep up the amazing work - I can’t wait to see what you create next!”
I like Andrew and channel 5 as a whole for their distinct take on complex stories. When I watch their videos, I get insight into difficult issues that I would not otherwise receive by watching news stories from other media outlets. I think that this is a particularly important issue to report on, one that currently lacks much input from mainstream media sources. I hops that this video sheds some light on the issue. I think decentering channel 5 videos is also important, whilst I enjoy Andrew and the videos that he makes I think bringing in alternative voices, particularly those from outside of the US plays an important role in decolonising our media consumption.
Wow, just wow! This video absolutely blew me away. The editing was crisp and creative, the pacing was perfect, and the content itself was incredibly engaging. I learned so much, and I was genuinely entertained the whole time. You've clearly put a lot of hard work and passion into this, and it shows. Seriously, this is top-notch content. Subscribed! I can't wait to see what you create next. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world! This deserves way more views - go spread the word, everyone! Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Raw, true, journalism at its finest. Been watching since all gas no brakes Covid days. The realest out there, big shout out to Andrew and his whole crew❤❤
What in the fuck is going on in this comment section?? I wanted to make a nice comment about how much i liked the video but if i leave a normal one it seems like it's going to look like it's AI. Is dead Internet theory real now?
Comments I disagree with are often AI bots, isnt that strange? The people we always disagree with the most often, seem to be bots. Could it be? You're the bot too? We're all bots in here boss!
@AgentZ7 nah I'm talking about the very generic comments that don't really say much of anything. They're all in the same format and praising the video with slightly different wording. It's not stuff that I agree or disagree with. If you work with AI they're pretty easy to recognize.
Notice the guy in the grey hoodie says “there was no hezbollah here” when initially talking about his neighbourhood being bombed but at 14:00 he starts saying he wants to die when asked why he responds “for our families for Hussayn and all the martys in Hezbollah” 😅 implicating his family/surroundings as Hezbollah sympathisers.
There were no Hezbollah there when they bombed. But the trauma from loosing ones whole family and the thirst for revenge will cause many to turn to Hezbollah or other terrorist organizations. The same happened when isis was formed, the result of war induced trauma and search for revenge.
I mean, wouldn't you become radicalized if your family and friends got bombed in civilian apartments? I'm not trying to argue but I think you should consider their perspective as I am willing to consider yours
Excellent reporting on such a complex and deeply polarizing topic. The balanced, fact-based approach taken here is truly commendable, especially in an era where so much coverage tends to lean toward sensationalism or bias. The video does an exceptional job of providing historical context, explaining the current dynamics, and highlighting the human impact on both sides of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict. It’s clear a lot of effort went into ensuring accuracy and presenting the facts without pushing any specific agenda. This kind of reporting is vital for fostering understanding and encouraging meaningful dialogue, rather than fueling division or misinformation. Truly a breath of fresh air in today’s media landscape-thank you for the thoughtful and professional work!
At the end of the day, it’s a cycle of hate breeding more hate until one side or both sides are wiped out. And as painful and unfair it is to hear, comprehensive compromise on both sides, accepted by both sides, and cultural shift towards accepting those compromise is ultimately going to be the peaceful route. Otherwise, this will never end.
one side speaks infront of rubbles and destruction. one side speaks in malls and parking lots. one side is speaking of defending. one side is asking for a military take over.
@@ninetysnano6071 the irony keeps piling up! Haha but honestly my friend, we are just commenting online. What they all have lost is much sadder and real. If we can’t get along here, how can they?
Andrew, your ability to dive into raw, unfiltered stories and give a platform to unheard voices is what sets you apart in the world of journalism. This latest video is another masterclass in empathy and curiosity. You have a way of bringing humanity to the forefront, even in the most unconventional or controversial topics. What stands out is your genuine interest in understanding people’s experiences without judgment, which makes your content feel real and meaningful. The balance you strike between humor and gravity keeps the audience engaged while still respecting the seriousness of the issues you cover. Thank you for continuing to explore these complex layers of society and for reminding us of the importance of listening to others. Excited to see what story you tackle next!
I really try to be as unbiased as I can but the contrast between the Lebanese man talking about losing his mother and sister, and the Israeli woman saying the worst part of the war is that she has to take care of her kid is pretty revealing
Yeah I'm with you 100% on this - it's not that Israeli's don't experience any suffering at the hands of their neighbors (like Oct 7 was truly terrible) but the scale of suffering Israel inflicts is on a whole different level of horror.
If you are able to, please donate to 'Katie's Fist,' a direct fundraiser that supports internally displaced refugees in Lebanon: www.gofundme.com/f/julias-fist?attribution_id=sl%3A6c239e2a-f32a-414f-b047-c21dbc00d690.

Why didn't you add a fundraiser for the Israeli refugees?
The israeli refugees are getting enough support from their government most likely.

When Vice was good, I guess you mean?
Yeah, but if vice news was better than it's peak!! Imo Channel 5 is like old Vice's cooler big brother
Because he's selling out to the right?
This channel was the reason why I chose to go to school for journalism. The world needs to see the truth.
Stay true to yourself.
Legitimate ethnic cleansings have been taking place for years in Sudan, in Yemen, & in Syria to name a few, but why are we conditioned to only care about lsrael and PaIestine ??
Not even worth it just go and report yourself no need for a degree to record what’s happening irl…
@@Entrainment224i have a journalism degree and it IS indeed very useful. Don't talk about what you don't know.
Go do it and please be unbiased unlike NBC or CNN 😂
THIS is Journalism. Well done.
🤣🤣🤣
Journalism has been dead since big corporations have invested in them and have most of the say. Andrew definitely leans towards the left, however luckily doesn’t push it onto everyone such as CNN/NBC. Until he truly stays neutral, I doubt it will be the best “news” Good video still, don’t get me wrong.
Did I miss the part where he interviewed a Jewish person?
@@ninetysnano6071we’ve got plenty of those lol
@@tuckddd9 “we’ve”?
The fact that you have video footage is wild and it is amazing you have local interviewers out there putting the work in to bring it to the masses is very impressive. Keep up the work. We need it, even if one disagrees or agrees with what it is being brought forth through this type of work. Again, please keep growing, learning, and interviewing people from all of the world. I am also disheartened that social media algorithms are not picking up the work being done via channel five. Anyways I am rambling and will sign off by saying thank you for your work again.
why do you think ruling class owned media is going to publicize what the ruling class supports?
I copy pasted your comment to help beat the algorithm since it looked like it was 100+ words, hope you dont mind
Aye so happy you could get this back on yt
Crazy that this would ever be taken down in the first place
What was the reason they took it down?
@@Joey_Avocado probs some bs, but because this is a critique at Is(nt)real (lol sry for the bad pun)
@@Joey_Avocado """bankers"""
communicating through twitter, letting you know your block is about to get bombed is insane
the world we live in is actually insane
Can't spell insane without Israel
Kidnapping toddlers is insane too. Both sides are to blame for horrific acts. I say this as an Israeli.
Unfortunately, there's not much hope for any of us. Not while terrorists, extremists and war criminals are in charge. I feel the pain of the people of Lebanon. I wish we could find peace.
@@BugManiacRoynah, I get it🔻
@@BugManiacRoy The unfortunate thing is that so many crimes have happened to people in Israel and in Lebanon that it would be unreasonable to tell people to stop fighting. Violence begets greater violence. I don't believe in such things, but I pray for your people.
Channel 5's growth from pick-up artists, furries, and adult film conventions is well done
The furry episode made andrew.
@@WestSideGorilla1980 I'd say Andrew, made Andrew.
I'd say Andrew's parents made Andrew. Pretty sure thats how it works. @cravensz
I don't think he's necessarily moved on from that, though. His style of real journalism works just as well in a strip club or in the UN. In all cases they're showing the perspectives of real people, whatever their station in life
Flat gang baby, flat like the top of my hat
With so many news outlets portraying a singular point of view from all sides of these conflicts, it's extremely valuable to have a video where all viewpoints and historical information is displayed at once. Thank you Andrew and Channel 5 Crew.
I feel like nearly every discussion involving Israel is a vacuum for critical thinking. People are horrendously misinformed, completely biased, or in most cases, both. To the point that it's pointless to talk about it at all, as people ignore facts that disagree with their viewpoint and speak with emotions whether or not there is factual basis for what they are saying. Nobody listens or learns anything.
When you have lies and disinformation on two sides of an issue, the truth is NOT to be found in the middle. It's great to hear people share their experiences and express their feelings, and also to have things put in context by the professor.
Hard to get the point of view of all the people Israel's murdered, tbf. They might have had opinions about being murdered for no reason.
@@MicaiahBaron You do realize that you are the people that first reply is talking about...
@@MicaiahBaronnO rEaSoN 🤣🤡
It did not get all points of view - the Israeli POV here is incredibly shallow and misrepresented. the video is sadly very one-sided in almost every aspect. Some attempts were made in showing some diversity, which is a nice thought, but in practice this video is severely biased.
This video is so fucking important and it made me cry when that man says that he has lost the ability to feel talking about his mother and sister being taken from him. It’s just heartbreaking.
Not trying to be dark. But he is a perfect example of how militant "terrorists/freedom fighters" are made. When the people you love are taken from you like that you look for someone or something to blame and it changes you. Makes you harder and deader inside. And all you want is to let out all the hate and anger and sorrow you feel from having these people taken so unfairly. He's right "there war is with them, why did they kill my mother and sister?" It's and endless cycle of death and suffering. I'm not saying this dude is gonna go off and join a group who does horrible shit. But I'm saying the risk of him doing that is SIGNIFICANTLY higher now than it was.
@@oliverclothezoff3361 An extremist is a moderate whose family was killed.
My dad and mom are dead. And I feel that way. That is not a feeling that is exclusive to war torn areas. Human strife and pain is worldwide.
Lmfao you're so weak and gullible
What about the Israelis who face terror daily and lose family members do you feel for them? Of course not cause the media doesn't tell you to and you do what you're told!
Keep outlets like channel 5 alive and well. I look forward to your continued coverage of the political landscape in the US and abroad. Andrew, and the growing team of journalists at channel 5 shine light on topics that are not traditionally discussed, and talk to the people they’re interviewing in a nonjudgmental way that really lets people open up and say how they really feel. It’s disappointing there isn’t more outlets like channel 5 doing the hard work, and not just rage baiting us with crazy headlines.
Channel 5 will be known as one of the most valuable, on-the-ground news sources of this generation
If only man didn’t fuck up so bad
Journalism died in the 70s. Everything is opinion based. Andrew leans into liberal ideology but does a good job trying not to push agendas; something cnn/abc/nbc/msnbc cant do…
@@TreeJ18 Can you explain why he leans liberal? I don’t see it.
They are. And I'm realizing how much of a hypocrite I been demonizing one group when the other is just as bad if not worse.
@@TreeJ18I’ll give that some credit. I just want some true to narrative content
I learned more from this one video than I have from watching any mainstream news source. And I’ve been watching for YEARS.
Thanks for making these AND letting us know when something is being hidden. I'm glad the videos are at least not being removed. Thanks for what you do! Corporations can't and won't do what you do. Much needed work!
Why was this reuploaded? Did TH-cam take down the original upload?
It is crazy how hard this platform is trying to strangle true journalism out like this…
Theyve done so to many videos
It’s because this is journalism that:
1. Doesn’t make us angry at our fellow Americans
2. Maintains objectivity and explores both sides of an issue
3. Acknowledges that context defines conversations
it's not a reupload, it's much longer
Calm down bro dam
Theres more added as well. The previous video didnt have the hezbollah interview.
Interviews by local journalists in the language of people actually impacted by the events is the best journalism. Primary source perspectives like these are invaluable. Allowing experts to weigh in to provide necessary context and a commitment to giving voice to conflicting opinions is excellent. How you manage to obtain interviews with people like the Hezbollah commander is a mystery but it makes Channel 5 a truly unique news outlet. I was surprised to learn about the ethnic diversity in northern Israel close to the border with Lebanon. The situation is very complicated and sad but obviously civilians, particularly children, should be protected. The segment about the strike on American journalists is infuriating.
it is just so so crazy to me that I am drinking matcha in my kitchen in a nice home in america while people are forced to face the most terrible reality and sides of humanity as if it’s normal.
Get out and volunteer. Why not go over there and save the country? This comment screams "virtue signaling" a bit. "Look how much i care about this topic by saying that I do"
A person of action would have closed the video and began researching ways to help.
That’s because we don’t have a strong Islamic presence that promotes verses like Surah 9:29 and Surah 2:216. It’s a shame that apostasy results in death instead of being able to ask questions.
poor you 😅
@@jacupwakup9109 can't wait to see you over there. It's not virtue signaling to bring up the juxtaposition. It's like right now there's people starving in the streets of the US and Elon Musk is now the richest man in the world. Could you imagine if you went out and helped for EVERY situation? What about the civil wars in Africa? Do you not care about them? What about the child sex slaves in Indonesia? What about China trying to take control of Taiwan? Don't you care about them? What about the police brutality in the US? What about the mass shootings in the US? God your such a virtue signaler. You pretend to care about people yet look at all the suffering you are doing nothing about.

This is such an amazing piece of news! The way you broke down the story with clear details and visuals made it so engaging and easy to understand. I really appreciate the effort you put into ensuring your audience gets the full context and facts without any fluff. It’s rare to see such high-quality, balanced reporting these days, and this channel always delivers. Keep up the great work-it’s creators like you who make staying informed enjoyable and inspiring. Looking forward to more updates and stories like this!
Channel 5, you are doing great work. Keep it up!
I appreciate you putting news first and not giving into the pressure of those in power! Please keep reminding us of those who are being oppressed. Especially by the countries we live in and those who support the occupation.
Again, thank you for all you’re doing!
Andrew, I really appreciate how Channel 5 consistently delivers an unbiased perspective on such complex topics like the Israel-Hezbollah conflict. Your ability to give people on all sides a chance to speak for themselves makes your reporting incredibly insightful. Another thing I love about this channel is how you stay authentic and raw - it feels like you're genuinely trying to understand the truth rather than pushing an agenda. Lastly, the way you engage with everyday people, rather than just experts or politicians, makes these stories feel relatable and real. Keep up the great work!
How is this unbiased lmfao
@@reapthewhirlwind6915Do you thibk it is biased?
It's not complicated, Israel is a terrorist state.

Salute to Andrew Callahan and the entire crew and staff at channel 5. They are out here doing real journalism. They are not out here interviewing paid actors and influencers. They are out here doing man on the street stuff. That kind of reporting still has value. And it's more value than any talking head pundits circle jerking on CNN MSNBC or Fox News. Thanks to channel 5 for insightful content. The production quality is consistently high for the budget they work with and the quality they deliver. I hope channel 5 reaches more people and I hope big news takes note of how it really is done. Salute to Channel 5.
Much more balanced and offering more perspectives than the original, thanks.
How does it differ from the original? How was it more biased b4 i didnt see the original
I definitely think this gave more context
Andrew!! Thank you for all your hard word and thank you to the correspondents. I’ve loved your work for a while. Hearing from folks in the affected areas was heavy but needed to help me empathize. This was so authentic and moving. I really hope for liberation for all the oppressed in that region. Overall I’m heartbroken for all the loss, broken families, stolen futures, PTSD, and so much more that comes with occupation. Keep up the stellar work.

I completely agree MSN is so biased for themselves. Just pathetic
Bro this channel never stops posting bangers, always on the ground doing authentic interviews for regular ppl
Thanks for covering this. Tryna get my 100+ words in here so that we can expand visibility. This whole conflict is F’d. Netanyahu needs to be removed. Such a colossal maniacal failure of a situation from all sides. Hoping this comment suffices. Gonna add a few more words here to be sure. Still not sure if it’s 100 yet. Hoping so, though. You just never know unless you count. Maybe I should count. Ok just counted and looks like i was only at 73 words so here I am tryna add another 27 to support the team. Hopefully I’m there now but hard to say. Maybe I should count again. Ok looks like we’re good. Keep up the great work!

Commenting on this video because what Andrew has been doing for independent unbiased journalism must be commended.
Came here to drop a comment to support the video as well as the channel. Been a follower since Quarter Confessions and it is fantastic to see the reporting being done on this scale. I love the genuine slices of Americana we rarely see so unfiltered and raw but getting to see that same level of reporting done in other countries is eye opening. Thank you for using your channel to host on a national scale so we get to see people's thoughts, feelings, and perspectives on a street level view. I hope you continue to succeed and grow. I'll be sure to share your content with my friends and family to get them invested in your truly unique and genuine coverage.
Thank you, Andrew Callahan and the Channel 5 team, for this incredible piece of journalism. Your ability to tackle such a complex and deeply emotional subject with nuance, honesty, and empathy is truly unmatched. It’s refreshing to see reporting that doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities while also giving voice to those directly affected. In a time when sensationalism often overshadows thoughtful storytelling, your work stands as a testament to what journalism can and should be. Please keep doing what you do-your dedication to uncovering and sharing the truth is both inspiring and deeply needed. Respect and gratitude!

This video sheds light on a subject not many are willing to explore. In the beginning of 2023 when people first started to notice the conflict it was very popular and now it seems no one cares any more. It’s been a whole year since then and it had only gotten worse for the Palestinians and Lebanon. But despite all that I very much appreciate the effort you put in and your integrity as a journalist to still talk about it
This video was absolutely incredible! From the moment it started, I was completely hooked. The content was engaging, well-organized, and clearly explained. You have a way of breaking down complex ideas into something so easy to follow, and I really appreciate the effort you put into making this accessible to everyone.
The visuals were stunning and complemented the explanation perfectly-every detail felt intentional and added value. Your energy and passion for the topic really shine through, and it’s contagious! By the end, I felt like I not only understood the subject better but also developed a genuine interest in it.
What stood out to me the most was how you included real-life examples, which made the topic relatable and practical. It’s clear you spent a lot of time preparing this, and it paid off. Keep up the amazing work-I’m definitely looking forward to your next video! 👏🎉

Thanks Andrew for this insightful content. I feel like in the West we see a very skewed coverage of this conflict so it's so helpful to have a different perspective from ppl directly affected by the war in Gaza and how they view Israel and it's role in all of this. Long live Channel 5 and independent journalism.
you do realize this conflict has been going on forever right? lots of documentation out there to be found if anyone wants facts
unfortunately college kids have no interest in history or facts though 😅
@@HahaGuitarGoBrrr Idk about any of that but as an American our coverage is pretty pro Israel and almost always has been. So when ppl have been protesting here saying it's a genocide the media gets harsh on the protestors; or when ppl rightfully criticize Netenyahu nobody questions why most outside of Israel sees him as a war criminal except for the American mainstream media. I can't speak to the rest of the West but it's frustrating cuz there are hostages and dead Palestinians and Netenyahu seems apathetic to it all.
@IceKumaX13 it’s crazy with how IDF has killed their very own 1sraeli hostages. But that news barely went through US major media outlets. The propaganda against the Middle East is so disheartening
Please don't mistake this video for showing both sides - it's showing one side very strongly. It is not objective or unbiased.
Andrew, once again, you’ve done an incredible job breaking down a complex and sensitive issue with clarity and insight. The Israel-Hezbollah conflict is one that is often oversimplified in mainstream media, but you’ve really dug into the nuances and historical context, making it much more understandable. Your balanced approach and ability to present multiple perspectives are what set you apart. It’s important to stay informed about such critical issues, and your reporting helps us do that in an engaging yet thoughtful way. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more videos that dive into topics like these.
Thanks for sharing this!
I can’t believe it’s been so incredibly difficult for you to post this without it being suppressed. I think it says a whole lot about the state of media. Clearly, some people some where thinks it’s best if these personal testimonies are erased, and that the public should only hear the sensationalist headlines media outlets throw in their face. Well done. Hope this comment helps
Channel 5 news has served as my preferred source of journalistic content for years now. I love how intentionally thought provoking the videos are, and the subject of every video never fails to pull me in. I particularly enjoy how it touches on tough topics and doesn’t feel as exploitative as other shows. I always feel like the more serious episodes are constructed to add to the bigger picture, not to just shock me or morbidly fascinate me. I always finish a video feeling more informed. It’s great to I have a few more talking points to contribute to a conversation, whether it’s a tough topic that needs some information or a fun conversation about something silly that just happened. It’s been a huge treat seeing Andrew evolve as a journalist, and covering intense topics has elevated my respect for the channel immensely.
Thank you for covering this topic so thoroughly and unbiased. This is important information that needs to be shared and viewed by all people globally. Very important news and tells the truth of what is happening in Lebanon right now. So glad to have this raw, unflinching look at this tragedy. Positive, amazing, helpful, educational, good for everyone to see. The United States should be showing this on the news channels rather than the entertainment bs they call news and show on a daily basis. We need to educate the public, not fill them with untrue information that further fuels biases and the war machine. Fight against the war machine!!! Again, thank you for posting these real news coverages and not the crap fed to us by mainstream media.
Real journalism.
You’re videos are insane man. You’re bringing a new epoch for journalism thank you!
Andrew, this is an incredibly well-done video. You’ve tackled a deeply complex and emotional topic with care, nuance, and a genuine effort to present multiple perspectives. Channel 5’s ability to create such thought-provoking content is unmatched, and your approach to this conflict feels both balanced and deeply human. The interviews and firsthand accounts you included were especially impactful, bringing clarity and empathy to a situation that often feels overwhelming. Thank you for shedding light on such an important issue in a way that fosters understanding and dialogue. Outstanding work, as always!
Pd: just doing homework… lmao
Andrew asked that we make long winded comments so here we are:
Independent journalism plays a vital role in safeguarding democracy and holding power accountable, especially in a world heavily influenced by corporate interests. Free from the pressures of advertisers and shareholders, independent media provides an unfiltered lens into pressing issues, uncovering truths that may otherwise remain hidden. It ensures diverse perspectives are heard, fostering informed public discourse. In an era where profit-driven narratives can dominate mainstream outlets, independent journalism acts as a counterbalance, challenging biases and promoting transparency. By prioritizing public interest over profit, it empowers citizens to make educated decisions and protects the fundamental right to access unbiased, accurate information.
This video was absolutely fantastic! The production quality is top-notch, and the way the content was presented kept me engaged from start to finish. I really appreciated the effort put into making everything so clear and easy to follow. The energy and passion you bring to your work are inspiring and make the video so enjoyable to watch. It’s clear that a lot of thought and dedication went into creating this, and it really paid off. I can’t wait to see what you post next-keep up the amazing work! This is the kind of content that deserves to go viral!
Let's break the shadowban! Great video and big kudos to having the courage to try your best, getting information from both parties! You rock!
Here to rewatch g
This is the content that people need to be seeing. It is unfortunate that network news organizations refuse to do journalism in this manner, but it is equally as refreshing to see y’all doing this. Keep up the great work. By the way, I wanted everyone to know that yoga is a healthy habit that can teach you mindfulness and breath control. In this crazy time a place we live in it is important to be present and understand that we can only make decisions one at at time. Please keep this in mind going into the new year. PS channel 5 live Hollywood and vine, we don’t mess custahs and five is the best number. I hope this is a skinned words.
The mainstream media wishes it could produce content to this standard, with this diversity of viewpoint.
Are you sure it would be financially beneficial to them?
They largely don't, or at the very least their management doesn't. Israel is using the US taxpayer's money to buy out it's media corporations and politicians.
I don't need the viewpoint of Zionists and settlers, it's like interviewing nazis
This video meant a lot to me. From the coverage of many different moving parts that make up the horrific conflict plaguing the middle east, to the in depth interviews of real people who are affected tragically everyday. The section highlighting the extreme measures the IDF take to suppress journalism was heartbreaking and anger inducing. The cycle of violence breeds enough hate to inspire young people to avenge their families and friends through any means necessary. Hopefully this video can reach those who want to hurt others and challenge them to choose a different path. Another 10/10 from me. Great job channel 5!!!

Recipe for Flan: A Space Opera Saga
In the depths of the Culinary Nebula, where the sweetest stars collide with the richest cosmic creams, the Flan Imperium seeks its champion-a custard so divine it could unite galaxies. Brave the journey, and let the saga of the Flan unfold!
Act I: Gathering the Celestial Ingredients
1. Milk of the Lunar Cow (2 cups whole milk)
Harvested under the light of the twin moons.
2. Cream of the Nebula (1 cup heavy cream)
Rich as the swirling gas clouds of Andromeda.
3. Golden Starlight Crystals (¾ cup sugar)
Refined from the core of collapsing stars.
4. Eggs of the Cosmic Phoenix (4 large eggs + 2 yolks)
Guardians of creamy stability.
5. Elixir of Vanilla Orchids (1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
Essence distilled from the orchids of Vega.
Act II: The Forge of Caramel Suns
1. Command your Starship Burner (medium heat) to ignite and melt ½ cup sugar with 3 tablespoons water in a sturdy pan.
2. Watch as the sugar liquefies and transforms into a golden caramel sun. Do not let it burn, lest the bitterness of the Void consume it.
3. Pour the molten caramel into your Starforge Molds (a round baking dish or ramekins), tilting swiftly to coat the base.
Act III: Weaving the Custard Galaxy
1. In the Council of Whiskers, combine the Phoenix Eggs and remaining sugar. Stir until harmonious.
2. Add the Lunar Milk, Nebula Cream, and Vanilla Elixir.
Blend these cosmic forces into a smooth custard nebula.
3. Strain the mixture through a galactic sieve into the caramel-coated molds, ensuring no stellar debris remains.
Act IV: The Steam Chamber of Destiny
1. Preheat your Warp Drive Oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Place the molds in a larger vessel and fill it with boiling water, halfway up their sides.
This creates the Steam Chamber-a delicate balance of heat and moisture.
3. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the Flan’s core wobbles like a distant pulsar.
Act V: The Galactic Revelation
1. Allow the Flan to cool in its chamber, then transfer it to the Cryo Hold (refrigerator) for 4-6 hours.
2. To serve, run a blade of starlight around the edge and invert onto a dish.
Witness the cascade of caramel, a solar storm upon a creamy planet.
Epilogue: The Symphony of Stars
As you take your first bite, the flavors of the cosmos will sing, uniting the galaxies in one harmonious dessert. The Flan Imperium stands victorious, thanks to you, brave culinary traveler!
This is a very important video and I'm glad and grateful that you guys are doing this work and posting these kinds of Journalism content online because not many other people are doing it. I am very much looking forward to consuming this content and watching this video when my day is done and I thank you guys for making this type of content and continuing to try and get it out there for us to watch it it's important to have these perspectives shared and available and it's also important do I have people who are willing to go there and interview, boots on the ground so that we can have the perspectives of the people who are living through this looking forward to watching this after work thank you guys
You should seriously consider bringing in more than one “expert” on the history of the region because there is a lot of interpretive license taken by this gentleman.
Yeah, this guy is super disingenuous and biased. When asked about the ethnic cleansing of arab jews he just says 'they moved to israel in 1948' jesus christ.
Wow this video provides a clear and well-researched overview of the complex dynamics of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict. The thoughtful analysis and historical context make it an invaluable resource for understanding the nuances of this ongoing issue. The presentation is balanced, informative, and engaging, shedding light on both the geopolitical and humanitarian aspects of the situation. It’s refreshing to see such an effort to unpack such a sensitive topic with care and accuracy. This kind of content is essential for fostering informed discussions and understanding. Thank you for creating such a meaningful and insightful video!

This video was so profoundly impactful, and truly well done. I feel that I actually have a better understanding of the conflict happening in the middle east after a 1 hour youtube video that I could never have achieved taking a college course for 3 months. I trust this channel more than any mainstream news outlet to offer an unbiased, truthful scope to pressing issues. Keep up the great work Channel 5!

Do you know any good pancake recipes?
I couldn't get through this video without crying.
It is crucial to document the various aspects of this conflict and highlight them to Western audiences who may no longer receive information through conventional media channels. I hope TH-cam understands the significance of this issue and lifts the shadowbanning restrictions placed on your account. The content shared is of immense value, and it’s vital for the public to have access to this important information. Thank you, Andrew and Channel 5, for your excellent work in bringing attention to these matters. Your dedication and multilingual delivery make this content even more accessible and valuable for a global audience.
Dear Channel 5 Team,
I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding content and exceptional coverage you consistently provide. Your commitment to delivering accurate, timely, and engaging stories is invaluable to our community.
Your coverage of local events, breaking news, and important issues not only keeps us informed but also fosters a sense of connection and understanding. I particularly admire the professionalism and dedication of your reporters and staff, who go above and beyond to ensure excellence in journalism.
Thank you for your hard work and the positive impact you make. Your efforts are deeply appreciated and do not go unnoticed. I look forward to continuing to rely on Channel 5 for trusted news and quality programming
interesting video length, I see what you did there Channel 5 ;)
“Shadow banning is the practice of blocking or partially blocking a user or the user's content from some areas of an online community in such a way that the ban is not readily apparent to the user, regardless of whether the action is taken by an individual or an algorithm. For example, shadow-banned comments posted to a blog or media website would be visible to the sender, but not to other users accessing the site.”
It's incredible how the machine works to shadowban this kind of content, I follow you guys since not a long time and I really enjoy your work, greetings from Chile, the ass crack of the world. Keep doing this kind of content an the world will starts to see how things develops in reality.
Happy to see a thorough, long format video with boots on the ground and interviewing so many sides and actors affected by the conflict and living in the active war area. This level of detail is what we need to build an understanding of the conflict, which is long winded and complex. The interviewees open up to the local interviewers and come off as genuine human beings with wants, needs an opinions.
I’m sure a video like this is not easy to make and will not pay off its production cost easily but in the long run it will make me and others respect Channel 5 as a news outlet that doesn’t shy away from tough issues and financially uninteresting projects. Long live Channel 5! Congratulations Andrew and his team!
CNN: frees human torturer
Channel 5: gets boots on the ground interviewing citizens from both sides of the conflict.
There is a special spot in Heaven for you Andrew. Thank you for your journalism
Incredible work Channel 5. Thank you for putting yourselves on the front line to deliver the news. Your channel's interviews and footage offer excellent perspective into the lives of the people we may see every day and never interact with. Your videos provide the subjects with agency and dignity, while still keeping things entertaining and sometimes whimsical. Oh and James Gelvin could read me a phonebook and it would be fucking enlightening. I have my stances on modern conflicts that I often refrain from sharing because my beliefs are susceptible to changing when faced with new evidence or understandings; that being said, I think this video accurately portrays many concepts within the conflict.
Fighting TH-cam’s algorithmic shadow ban requires viewers to leave comments of 100 words or more, as the platform increasingly prioritizes longer, more engaging interactions. This approach helps combat the algorithm’s suppression of smaller voices, which often occurs in favor of corporate and organizational narratives. The issue reflects a broader problem: large companies and organizations frequently fail to acknowledge humanitarian crises in their “war and conflict policies.” This silence perpetuates one-sided narratives and marginalizes independent voices seeking to highlight these critical issues. By leaving thoughtful, lengthy comments, viewers can push back against algorithmic bias and support creators addressing these ignored realities.
Get a life 😂
This video is incredible! The effort and creativity that went into this is truly inspiring. The way you explained everything was so clear and engaging, making even the complex parts easy to understand. I also loved the visuals and editing - they added so much energy and kept me hooked from start to finish. Your passion for the topic really shines through, and it’s infectious! Thank you for putting so much effort into this content; it’s clear you care about providing value to your viewers. I’ll definitely be sharing this with friends who’d appreciate it as much as I do. Keep up the amazing work - I can’t wait to see what you create next!”
Love that you forgot to delete the " 😂😂
holy shit i've never been this early to anything
I like Andrew and channel 5 as a whole for their distinct take on complex stories. When I watch their videos, I get insight into difficult issues that I would not otherwise receive by watching news stories from other media outlets. I think that this is a particularly important issue to report on, one that currently lacks much input from mainstream media sources. I hops that this video sheds some light on the issue.
I think decentering channel 5 videos is also important, whilst I enjoy Andrew and the videos that he makes I think bringing in alternative voices, particularly those from outside of the US plays an important role in decolonising our media consumption.
comparing american illegal immigration to israeli occupation is extremely inaccurate 25:42
No it's not. The only difference is that an Illegal immigrant doesn't murder your family.
Thank you for this, you guys’ ability to put out top tier journalism on top of pretty humorous content is nuts.
Wow, just wow! This video absolutely blew me away. The editing was crisp and creative, the pacing was perfect, and the content itself was incredibly engaging. I learned so much, and I was genuinely entertained the whole time. You've clearly put a lot of hard work and passion into this, and it shows. Seriously, this is top-notch content. Subscribed! I can't wait to see what you create next. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world! This deserves way more views - go spread the word, everyone! Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

There's a lot of AI comments on this video...
Comments I disagree with are often AI bots, isnt that strange? The people we always disagree with the most often, seem to be bots. Could it be? You're the bot too? We're all bots in here boss!
@AgentZ7 nah I'm talking about the very generic comments that don't really say much of anything. They're all in the same format and praising the video with slightly different wording. It's not stuff that I agree or disagree with. If you work with AI they're pretty easy to recognize.
This is invaluable. Thank you to Andrew and the rest of the team for this.
Notice the guy in the grey hoodie says “there was no hezbollah here” when initially talking about his neighbourhood being bombed
but at 14:00 he starts saying he wants to die when asked why he responds “for our families for Hussayn and all the martys in Hezbollah” 😅 implicating his family/surroundings as Hezbollah sympathisers.
Lmfao I noticed that too
There were no Hezbollah there when they bombed. But the trauma from loosing ones whole family and the thirst for revenge will cause many to turn to Hezbollah or other terrorist organizations. The same happened when isis was formed, the result of war induced trauma and search for revenge.
It’s almost like you can’t trust a word out their mouths or statistic out there government…
@@metroidsuperfan17 you sound incredibly ignorant. hezbollah and iran and other Terrorist are ALWAYS trying to bomb tel aviv.
I mean, wouldn't you become radicalized if your family and friends got bombed in civilian apartments? I'm not trying to argue but I think you should consider their perspective as I am willing to consider yours
Excellent reporting on such a complex and deeply polarizing topic. The balanced, fact-based approach taken here is truly commendable, especially in an era where so much coverage tends to lean toward sensationalism or bias. The video does an exceptional job of providing historical context, explaining the current dynamics, and highlighting the human impact on both sides of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict. It’s clear a lot of effort went into ensuring accuracy and presenting the facts without pushing any specific agenda.
This kind of reporting is vital for fostering understanding and encouraging meaningful dialogue, rather than fueling division or misinformation. Truly a breath of fresh air in today’s media landscape-thank you for the thoughtful and professional work!
At the end of the day, it’s a cycle of hate breeding more hate until one side or both sides are wiped out. And as painful and unfair it is to hear, comprehensive compromise on both sides, accepted by both sides, and cultural shift towards accepting those compromise is ultimately going to be the peaceful route.
Otherwise, this will never end.
one side speaks infront of rubbles and destruction. one side speaks in malls and parking lots.
one side is speaking of defending. one side is asking for a military take over.
One side started the conflict, one side didn’t

Andrew, your ability to dive into raw, unfiltered stories and give a platform to unheard voices is what sets you apart in the world of journalism. This latest video is another masterclass in empathy and curiosity. You have a way of bringing humanity to the forefront, even in the most unconventional or controversial topics. What stands out is your genuine interest in understanding people’s experiences without judgment, which makes your content feel real and meaningful. The balance you strike between humor and gravity keeps the audience engaged while still respecting the seriousness of the issues you cover. Thank you for continuing to explore these complex layers of society and for reminding us of the importance of listening to others. Excited to see what story you tackle next!

I really try to be as unbiased as I can but the contrast between the Lebanese man talking about losing his mother and sister, and the Israeli woman saying the worst part of the war is that she has to take care of her kid is pretty revealing
Yeah I'm with you 100% on this - it's not that Israeli's don't experience any suffering at the hands of their neighbors (like Oct 7 was truly terrible) but the scale of suffering Israel inflicts is on a whole different level of horror.
