Almost like the hostages that were rescued were in civilian homes just like other but heavily guarded around the building Man I wish Israel wouldn't look at what the media is saying and finish their missions. But they are a first world nation and have to care about the public and their opinions unlike other forms over government... ehrm lol
Saw somewhere on Twitter that the hostages were held in a home of a Al-Jazeera journalist and they had between homes of civilians many times. So the civilians were active in concealing the hostages. Is that true, don’t know 🤷♂️
@nabhill4383 And I don't think we should waste our time debunking those propaganda. It's always a new lie, and when it's debunked, they go for other claims. If it's not about casualties, it's about Netanyahu. If it's not about Netanyahu, it's about what the soldiers are wearing. Non-stop nonsense.
It was absolutely worth knowing what people on other sides of thing are reading and thinking. I make sure I know at least some of what Russians and Chinese citizens are being told through their news.
Everyone knew Al Jazeera is heavily biased in this conflict. But outright lying about the event and not even mentioning Hamas who was the opposing military force fighting IDF at the same crowded by civilians area must be a new low for them. Shame for them for completely losing journalistic integrity.
I think the use of the word execution is the translation error. Or at least meant to say that the soldiers intentionally killed the civilians as rather than accidentally.
Al Jazeera has been closed or blocked by other Mideast governments, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Egypt has banned Al Jazeera since 2013. It launched the crackdown after the 2013 military overthrow of an elected but divisive government dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood group. What does that tell you?
It tells you that Sisi couped a democratically elected head of state to install a military dictatorship. Morsi was a butchr too. He fired on protestors too. But not like Sisi. 1,000 in one day. I wonder how many “elections” this guy will win eh? All of them for the rest of his life perchance? What does it tell us that he bans slightly left journalism? Why would that ever happen ? I’m sorry what were the others? The KSA?? Shocker. Jordan, Bahrain, the UAE? Lol. These things are compiled and fact checked. AJ is recorded as highly reliable at 41.6 with a -6.6 left biased presentation. Fox for example is 35.6 in reliability and +10.7 in right biased presentation. They were the most reliable source during the Arab Spring. Not everyone had a good camera in their pocket yet and they were on the ground. That’s why they’re not allowed in monarchies and dictatorships.
Yep, all of those countries sure are well known for being beacons of honesty & press freedom, 3 cheers for the overthrowing of elected governments & subsequent crackdowns on journalism, i guess? 1 hardly needs to argue with you folks, just sitting back & letting you constantly speak the quiet part out loud is damning enough by itself.
As a good personal friend of the father of Palestinian nationalism once said, "The more outrageous the lie, the more likely are the people to believe it."
Someone needs to make a Wikipedia page about how Israeli hostages were being held captive in a camp full of civilians. Now people are going to argue that it’s a safe place. Well either civilians were actively participating in the war and holding hostages, or Hamas was integrating itself in the camp of civilians and holding the hostages there.
Israel had some women go undercover into the camp to discover the hostages. If simply being in Nuseriat was enough to find out where the hostages were then it means that everyone in Nuseriat had to know.
I think the fact Hamas or Palestinian gunmen or not mentioned speaks volumes about Al Jazeera, there’s no wonder this outlet for Muslim brotherhood is banned in the entire Middle East, the west should outlaw it as a terror organization, I don’t know why would Russian news networks in English would be treated as they are outlets for Putin and this for some reason is being treated else. Freedom of speech should come with huge community notes.
He wasn't an Al Jazeera reporter recently, New reports say only in 2018-2018. He currently served Palestinian Chronicle and was a spokesman for Hamas Ministry of Labor.
Weren't supposed?!? Palestinians have their own unique refugee status that they can pass to their children even if they were born in Europe and never actually lose their home/were displaced and a whole ass UN department that only cares for Palestinian refugees ( all the other refugees from the world all share the same agency)... Palestinians are the cash cow of the UN Google search the number of UN workers in Gaza/Palestine and how many work at the UN headquarters in NY...
The UN was never given control of Gaza. When Israel unilaterally withdrew from the region, the Palestinian authority took control. They were the ones that were supposed to prevent attacks from Gaza against Israel, and they did fine - right up to the point where Hamas took over in a violent coup in 2007. So no, the UN may have quite a few things they should be held accountable for, but this is not one of them.
@@projekcja UN was in Gaza, Hamass had Servers directly under one of their outposts. Go look at the agreement that was made between Israel, the UN, and the US. Gaza was given away under Bush.
People forget Hamas uses Woman as fighters as well. The person who handed thr hostages over in November was a Woman. Soldiers have seen woman shooting mortars.
@@ingni123456 TBH, parts of October 7th could be seen as a legitimate military action. Namely the attacks on the border fortifications. Israel and Gaza were de facto already at war with the Israeli blockade and Hamas rocket attacks. What made October 7th illegitimate was the deliberate attacks on civilians, as well as the murder of Israeli soldiers who were hors de combat.
Interesting how their initial release was 37000 dead mostly women and children months ago and the number has been shrinking since. Anyone else find that interesting? Also given the short video released on this of them getting to the hostages and an RPG striking the building in the first few seconds. Should be plenty of evidence as to what's happening and how many terrorists were in the area. This wasn't a massacre just a very risky hostage rescue that hit the fan and still went better than anyone could have hope for. This is why hamas need s to perpetuate that it was bad along with every good thing the west does or achieves. The aljazera article actually tries to blame the humanitarian aid pier just for an example.
In regard to numbers, no I don't find that interesting. This is generally how things always work. You have unknowns and then overtime they are corrected.
@Khronogi my interest is 37 thousand in 2 months. Its just an insane over estimate spread to garner sympathy, and after the following 4 months it's declined dramatically while the conflict is ongoing and numbers usually go up as conflicts are still active than decline after the conflict is over.
I find it interesting that Israel has never started a war, yet everyone always blames them. I guess it's true. It's always easy to blame the Jewish people. May God bless Israel🙏 Power to Israel and the Jewish people ✊️
@@AbuTaher-tb7xf Nobody but Hamas is responsible for that. Not only did they take hostages, but they also decided to keep them in the middle of a crowded area, knowing that the IDF will take what is necessary to get them back. Every single death in this operation is on Hamas.
@@Stopvaping1234 the women and children were only keeping the hostages safe right? 😂 But honestly, who's fault it is that women and children were stationed around hostages?
So Hamas trying to kill as many Israeli civilians as possible is not a massacre and Israel and Hamas having collateral damage while Israel rescues hostages that Hamas took is a massacre. Thank you for the clarification Preston.
Imagine pretending hostages were held by innocent people. None of them armed. No security around for their most precious asset in this war. How silly do they think their audience is
@@nancikuba42eh, I think making a statement against college protests is the same field level of al Jazeera having terrible reporting. Both are out of context and are not saying a lot of what is going on in reality.
That HAS bugged me. The administration and the media generally have been very silent about the fact that some of the hostages ARE Americans. Even groups you think would talk it up, like say FOX, rarely report on it. I am not sure why.
Al Jazeera just forgot few details , A Gaza journalist who wrote for Al Jazeera was holding 3 of the hostages in his house: Abdallah Aljamal, who also worked as a spokesman for the Hamas. As we already know Hamas health ministry and spokesmen gave many times unreliable numbers about Gaza causalities. UN spokesman, Farhan Haq, said on April 28th the initial numbers were not backed up by actual data. Al Jazeera do have millions of readers : most of them are Shiite in the middle east. Do your math... but no western person takes them as a reliable source. The 2nd issue is when civilians are abused as human shield and when dozens of Hamas armed people fires (RPGs in a crowded market place) : you should expect cross fire casualties. With so many civilians on the scene and so many mobile phones , so many surveillance cams : yet not a single video of the alleged massacre? if Al Jazeera had a footage of 275 bodies in Al-aqsa hospital: be sure they will show those bodies them in an uncensored video. it serves their purpose. The only video that was released show 20-30 people , all men in fighting age. Hamas and Al Jazeera control together what video is released from the Gaza strip . The IDF operation could have ended like "black hawk down" movie , however, due to the air and ground support they got , it ended with minimal casualties to the the rescue team. its a miracle that it ended with so few casualties (to both sides). The US-pier: Hamas tried to shell that pier several times. Humanitarian crisis serves their goals. They don't like when tons of food supplies is entering the city.
@@OFS.999 I don’t watch fox everyday. Matter of fact, I watch every single source combined and gather knowledge and form my opinion from that. However I will never believe a word Al jizzeera claims lol. Muslim extremists as we know will lie about anything to back themselves.
They also really love referring to cities with paved roads, multilevel buildings, and other large-scale permanent infrastructure as "camps" so that they can perpetuate the narrative that all Gazans are "refugees" from the 1948 war who should be allowed to "return" to their "homes" in the "occupied" land of Israel.
What pisses me off is that no one mentions, not even our own media, is that there are still 8 American hostages in Gaza and we have a president that's too weak to do anything about it.
It's not that he's too weak. It's that he doesn't want to anger the Iranian sponsors of Hamas. After all he and Obama gave them billions to create Hamas and the Houthi military capability.
What also pisses me off is that there are still thousands of Palestinian hostages held inside Israeli military prisons and nobody in MSM talks about it because they're too weak to withstand the Israeli lobby.
Biden is trying to convince Israel & Hamas to accept a ceasefire, but yeah, this isn't really doing anything because the two parties can't agree on who controls Gaza after.
It doesn't even make sense for the soldiers to start firing before reaching the hostages like it says. They had to be undercover for the hostages to be rescued alive.
@@WriteInAaronBushnellI think this is true for some people. The government in charge at large does not seem worried about casualties as related to those being people. It only cares as much as it will affect their weapon shipments.

When a hostage gets rescued by police, deaths of hostages or bystanders usually considered the fault of the hostage takers, why here is any different for people is strange. But the assumption that only Israeli bullets and explosives kill people and not Hamas ones just takes things to a whole new level.
The pier part is pretty hilarious. I can imagine the IDF cabinet be like "We can come with choppers or the multiple available roads but no no, let's do it with boats through this shaky pier instead"
Every civilian casualty is hamas’s fault, holding hostages at a refugee ‘camp’ but somehow it’s the other guy’s fault Literally the same logic as when a bank robber holds someone at gunpoint
The sad thing is most the people calling it a massacre probably couldn’t even tell you where Israel is located on a map Edit: Fixed a grammatical error
Only successful operation that actually got 100 hostages out was the temporary ceasefire in 2023. All other actions trying to get hostages out led to either dead hostages, dead soldiers or high civilian casualties. Getting four civilians out while multiple troops got injured and calling for danger close fire support in a population dense area with a high likelihood of other hostages around. In no other context would that be called a successful hostages rescue operation.
Shoots through enemies physically holding hostages and committing war crimes. How could that possibly be a massacre if the hostages are indeed found in the end?
Taking people from their country and holding them as hostages is a war crime. If you are aiding in hiding the hostages you are guilty of the crime as well. This isn't hard to understand.
Thanks Preston. Since the start of the Ukraine conflict, you have gained my trust as someone that doesn’t try to mislead or misrepresent facts and works to give a fuller picture of a story, giving context from multiple sources, and highlighting potential biases in reporting. Even if not always news that is great to hear. Wish news networks were more like this. I like Al Jazeera for other articles, but for the Israel-Palestine conflict, they have a blind spot so massive that it could conceal a whole tunnel network and weapons cache inside it.
Thank you Preston for your excellent research and reporting. As an American, I consider this a hostage rescue operation with collateral damage (274 hostiles).
True thing about your sources, it's not about how people feel things should be reported, the facts are that a ton of people view Al Jazeera as reliable. Why ? Idk
@@leiden5110 that is not it. If you actually listen its often less about being antisemitic and more about nationalism, and marginalization. Both ideas are taught extensively in colleges. People reach different conclusions simply because they have different experience.
@@unknown23hornet22 yeah your right I meant to say “the idea of Israel” but I wasn’t really thinking. Then why is it that western media stands with Palestine? Western countries are a lot closer to the ideologies and thoughts of a country such as Israel
@@leiden5110 As a whole yes. but what about groups within the whole? Israel aligns most with the conservative in America, especially evangelicals. But the support also come from other factors. I see that you mention shared Identities. That is often a factor but may not be the whole story. The factions that support Israel tend to get a lot of their Identity from speaking up for marginalized groups that do not have as much of a voice. For example, the Black lives Matter movement. Palestinians fit the profile of a marginalized group. For more research you can look up the world systems theory of international relations. that might provide insight despite the fact the fact that that it has less relevance. Also look Benedetta Berti for more understanding of why Hamas holds power. she has a ted talk from 8 years ago on isis that is relevant.
@@unknown23hornet22 No the Arabs in 1948 wanted to commit genocide against the Jews in British Mandate Palestine. They attempt to repeat in 1967 and 1973. The Hamas charter is to kill all Jews in Israel and then the world. If that is not antisemitism can you tell me what is?
The journalist worked with Al Jazeera in *2018-19*. He was currently contributing to Palestinian Chronicle. He was spokesman for Hamas Ministry of Labor. No tears for this hostage holders. That Al Jazeera is ugly is a different matter.
@@HR-op2cqNo, it's true. The guy wasn't employed by al jazeera, he just like wrote an article for it 1 time. The claims that he was Al. Jazeera is by biased people who just took it out of context and then spread it on the internet. You've been duped.
I heard you say the word Al Jazeera so much but not one word about the fact that one of the hostage guards named Abdullah al-Jamal was an Al Jazeera reporter. This filth was a reporter for Al Jazeera and guarded hostages, a morning reporter and the rest of the day a Hamas operative.
Every single Palestinian in the area knew they were around hostages, they were used as human shields or as guards either way it's not Israel's fault that Hamas chose to hide hostages in a highly populated area.
@@ingni123456 if the under cover troops who were 3 weeks at nusierat camp could gather so much information taking to the locals, I think yeah everybody knows, the area also were guarded by H group which the local Palestinian surely knows and can connect the dots.
@@ingni123456 Israel sent in undercover women to rent a house in Nuseriat. Just by being there for a couple of weeks they were able to discover where the hostages were being held. So it was at least known to some of the locals, if not all.
It’s hilarious. They are saying their most prized assets weren’t protected by armed militants. As if nobody knew. As if the hostages could just escape because “nobody knew and nobody was armed”
Well, a ton of people might get their info from that source, but I'm not one of them. I'll give ya a comment and an upvote to help the algorithm, but I'm not going to waste my time listening to their bs. Keep up the good work Preston.
Maybe they did need to fire more indiscriminately because of the circumstanes...Lots of people in civilian clothes some attacking , some about to attack , some not , some retreating and some advancing among a crowd. Hard call.
I guess you could justify columbine as self defence then. Hamas fighters could have had a cell in the school and obviously they use child soldiers. You never know if those kids are attacking, going to attack or not.
Watch Preston's previous video. There were about 30 armed militants in one of the buildings. They fired RPG inside the building. Plan A to extricate had a problem with plenty of militants firing and Plan B was activated, this is when heavy fire from tanks, air and sea was used. Watch the previous video.
Preston Stewart, West Point Grad, ex US military professional and gun guy, someone that I am pretty sure does not share my political views on many things yet he is one of my go to comentators on Gazza, Ukraine and other conflicts around the world because he does his best to cut through the fog of war and give a honest and true picture of what's actually going on Keep up the good work brother
It IS useful to have a professional committed to sharing actual DIFFERENT viewpoints, if only to make people aware of the different info-spheres that create them exist.
300 killed 700 injured? What did they all gather together to get shot by a few Soldiers? There is no way that there would be so many killed and injured by a small group of soldiers.
There was artillery support. I'll never take Hamas's word as to what happened or who was hurt, but the claim is not that the rescue team itself inflicted so many casualties.
There was a guy, an Iraqi author, back in 2003. He had a best-selling book in Iraq at that time, and it was basically a compilation of news clippings from Saddam/Arab media before/during the US invasion. One of the many gems in it was that the Americans had dropped a nuclear bomb on downtown Baghdad. No, seriously. It's been my experience that the Arab 'street' believes all manner of whacky tabloid-level things.
Listening to my friends and family talk about this shit makes me want rip my hair out. They dont care about facts they care about what they think. The media war has been won almost.
Part of the current paradigm: You get the info out first, you get it loud, you keep repeating it in various ways, and it sort of takes hold as the accepted narrative before there is any reasoned examination of the facts. You create echo chambers and people's existing info/bias do the rest. The Internet and 24/7 cable service amplifies the effect rather than reducing it. Those here on this channel remember how fast the hospital "bombing" blew up, and the reluctant back-tracking by MSM when it became obvious they had swallowed Hamas propaganda whole and dumped it out as "truth". Try using that as an argument with family!
@MM22966 at this point they noticed and the flood gates are open . They realized that now that the flood gates are open instead of doing the real news an journalism everyone can jump on "hot" events that they now can mass disinformation or fear monger over. CNN saying that the houthis are the biggest and hardest enemies America has faced since WW2 is so fucking insane I don't know how they legally are allowed to do this and who the hell is shelling out the money for them to do it. We now live in Bizarro world.
Does it matter? Everything about gaza, those who started a genocidal war. But what about the wars in Mynamar, Sudan, and Ethiopia, where there is real massacre and starvation?, but i see no protests or aid, i guess its all comes down to public relations, as rapists murderers get love from the west, but those who in real need are forgotten, thats the real tragedy imo..
Those other wars are not being funded with our taxes. We are not paying for their weapons, nor are we providing diplomatic cover and immunity for their crimes. Israel, on the other hand…
A lot is actually happening but for whatever reason, we have to focus on this gAzA gEnOciDe. Simon Whistler's Warographics actually does episodes called "Situation Room" where it brings up current events and issues. By far, Gaza is nothing but a spec compared to the dumpster fires currently happening in Haiti, Myanmar, and Sudan to name a few. But I guess, with those conflicts, Al-Jazeera can't blame the Jews. 😬
@keso_de_bola1750 because it helps divert attention. Look at Spain and South Africa government for example, failed governments, so they focus on it. Or the american naval pier, at all its time, it delivers less aid than israel brings in one day, and the airdrops, its small quantities, and tbh they killed fair numbers of gazans hitting their heads.. Of ther was famine in gaza we would see as they film everything, honestly the aid is just way fir the west to feel good for themselves, while in sudan is the real risk of famine..
Your equating hostage takers with the actual hostages. That's madness. Never in the annals of military history has a hostage rescue been seen through some moral prism by those aiding and abetting the actual hostage takers. Just because the arab social media manipulators create a false alternate reality where the aggressor and abductor is know the victim does not make it true. That you play both sides is not helpful.
I'd also like to note that it was a bunch of "civilians" keeping these Israelis captive!... And how many more "civilians" were aware that these hostages were being held in these locations and just kept their mouths shut and went about things like it was just another day.. Personally if I knew there were hostages being kept in a certain location I would not want to be anywhere in the vicinity just for this exact reason, expecting Israel to bring the pain in order to get their people back.. This is again on Hamas and the civilians supporting them. If they didn't have hostages there then Israel has no reason to come in guns blazing to rescue these innocent hostages who did nothing to deserve what happened to them.
The pier is not "rickety" by any stretch, but it is limited to functioning to Sea State 3 waves (1 ft 8 in to 4 ft 1 in) heights. When storms come in it is move to a protected harbor. During the Normandy operations, a storm came in and completely destroyed one of the 3 floating piers. The oceans have lots of power in wave form.
Al Jazeera still I havent seen them reporting about a single combatant. Its all women and children and they took a whole day before reporting on the hostages recue. Im sorry but I cant take Al Jazeera serously
I'm just asking.. Could it be a bad idea to open fire on the rescue forces? Maybe many of the dead were shot by the terrorists? It can't be that everyone was hurt by Israeli forces!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔
First they’re saying why didn’t the IDF warn the people they’re coming so the people could evacuate, now they’re saying the IDF indiscriminately shot people at random. Wouldn’t you consider them making all that noise shooting people would be somewhat of a warning to the people? I can’t see why the IDF would do either one if they had to be undetected until the last moment, so they could rescue the hostages without incident.
I'm a Vietnam combat veteran. It was an exceedingly nasty war: "On the basis of the VLHS data, Hirschman and his team estimate that 655,000 men, 143,000 females, and 84,000 children were killed as a result of the American War for a total of 882,000 war deaths." I put this forth for context, as war is not a video game - it's about death and destruction, and horror. There are approximately 2.3 million people of Vietnamese descent residing in the U.S. as of 2023. This is because of the fear of communism, and the desire for freedom. The United States does not murder civilians - we welcome them. Civilians have died in every war. This is where context becomes pretty important. The US does not target civilians; however, considering the massive firepower of the US, there are often a lot of dead innocent folks when the shooting stops.
Gaza counts everyone as civilians, even the ones holding the hostages, Abdallah Aljamal, was reported as "one of the civilians killed" by Palestine Chronicle where he worked as a journalist
I’d be willing to bet that a lot of the “ children” were 15-19 year old males 😂😂 almost like new recruits

Al Jazeera has been closed or blocked by other Mideast governments, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Egypt has banned Al Jazeera since 2013. It launched the crackdown after the 2013 military overthrow of an elected but divisive government dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood group.

These things are compiled and fact checked. AJ is recorded as highly reliable at 41.6 with a -6.6 left biased presentation. Fox for example is 35.6 in reliability and +10.7 in right biased presentation.
They were the most reliable source during the Arab Spring. Not everyone had a good camera in their pocket yet and they were on the ground.
That’s why they’re not allowed in monarchies and dictatorships.

As a good personal friend of the father of Palestinian nationalism once said, "The more outrageous the lie, the more likely are the people to believe it."
Islam.
Someone needs to make a Wikipedia page about how Israeli hostages were being held captive in a camp full of civilians. Now people are going to argue that it’s a safe place. Well either civilians were actively participating in the war and holding hostages, or Hamas was integrating itself in the camp of civilians and holding the hostages there.
Israel had some women go undercover into the camp to discover the hostages. If simply being in Nuseriat was enough to find out where the hostages were then it means that everyone in Nuseriat had to know.
I think the fact Hamas or Palestinian gunmen or not mentioned speaks volumes about Al Jazeera, there’s no wonder this outlet for Muslim brotherhood is banned in the entire Middle East, the west should outlaw it as a terror organization, I don’t know why would Russian news networks in English would be treated as they are outlets for Putin and this for some reason is being treated else.
Freedom of speech should come with huge community notes.

@@agnelomascarenhas8990 interesting I haven't heard that yet
Shouldn't the UN be held accountable? They werent supposed to let Gaza to become hostile to Israel when they gave away Gaza
Weren't supposed?!? Palestinians have their own unique refugee status that they can pass to their children even if they were born in Europe and never actually lose their home/were displaced and a whole ass UN department that only cares for Palestinian refugees ( all the other refugees from the world all share the same agency)...
Palestinians are the cash cow of the UN
Google search the number of UN workers in Gaza/Palestine and how many work at the UN headquarters in NY...
The UN was never given control of Gaza. When Israel unilaterally withdrew from the region, the Palestinian authority took control. They were the ones that were supposed to prevent attacks from Gaza against Israel, and they did fine - right up to the point where Hamas took over in a violent coup in 2007.
So no, the UN may have quite a few things they should be held accountable for, but this is not one of them.
@@projekcja You are incorrect
@@EtaWontflush That is correct. Sometime I make mistakes.

How would you execute people when you are trying to escape from Gaza with the hostages?..... Aljazerra is insane😂
People forget Hamas uses Woman as fighters as well. The person who handed thr hostages over in November was a Woman. Soldiers have seen woman shooting mortars.
There were at least a couple women who were holding the hostages. Presumably they were killed.
And child soldiers.
Women serve in the IDF, too. Doesn't make October 7th a legitimate military action though, does it?
I think he meant to say you can’t assume 100% of women casualties are non combatants/collateral victims
@@ingni123456 TBH, parts of October 7th could be seen as a legitimate military action. Namely the attacks on the border fortifications. Israel and Gaza were de facto already at war with the Israeli blockade and Hamas rocket attacks. What made October 7th illegitimate was the deliberate attacks on civilians, as well as the murder of Israeli soldiers who were hors de combat.
Interesting how their initial release was 37000 dead mostly women and children months ago and the number has been shrinking since. Anyone else find that interesting?
Also given the short video released on this of them getting to the hostages and an RPG striking the building in the first few seconds. Should be plenty of evidence as to what's happening and how many terrorists were in the area. This wasn't a massacre just a very risky hostage rescue that hit the fan and still went better than anyone could have hope for. This is why hamas need s to perpetuate that it was bad along with every good thing the west does or achieves. The aljazera article actually tries to blame the humanitarian aid pier just for an example.
The RPG, as I understand it, was how the hero,Arnon. was killed.
In regard to numbers, no I don't find that interesting. This is generally how things always work. You have unknowns and then overtime they are corrected.
@Khronogi my interest is 37 thousand in 2 months. Its just an insane over estimate spread to garner sympathy, and after the following 4 months it's declined dramatically while the conflict is ongoing and numbers usually go up as conflicts are still active than decline after the conflict is over.
WGAF? When you held hostages you run risk. No country should weigh up saving citizens against the safety of those who hold them.
I find it interesting that Israel has never started a war, yet everyone always blames them.
I guess it's true. It's always easy to blame the Jewish people.
May God bless Israel🙏

@@AbuTaher-tb7xf Nobody but Hamas is responsible for that. Not only did they take hostages, but they also decided to keep them in the middle of a crowded area, knowing that the IDF will take what is necessary to get them back. Every single death in this operation is on Hamas.

But honestly, who's fault it is that women and children were stationed around hostages?

When civilians run around with high powered weapons going after the IDF
So Hamas trying to kill as many Israeli civilians as possible is not a massacre and Israel and Hamas having collateral damage while Israel rescues hostages that Hamas took is a massacre. Thank you for the clarification Preston.
There was no Hamas there. An IDF soldier just magically died in the rescue
Imagine pretending hostages were held by innocent people. None of them armed. No security around for their most precious asset in this war. How silly do they think their audience is
Look at college campuses. Silly is putting it mildly.
@@nancikuba42eh, I think making a statement against college protests is the same field level of al Jazeera having terrible reporting.
Both are out of context and are not saying a lot of what is going on in reality.
The U.S. needs to get its hostages back. It’s embarrassing that we’re abandoning them
Don’t worry we’ll trade most wanted criminals to get WNBA players back from the Russians…3 guesses as to why
That HAS bugged me. The administration and the media generally have been very silent about the fact that some of the hostages ARE Americans. Even groups you think would talk it up, like say FOX, rarely report on it. I am not sure why.
its pointless asking hamas anything at all. Can't believe a single world of it
They are just like the politicians that run America.
Al Jazeera just forgot few details , A Gaza journalist who wrote for Al Jazeera was holding 3 of the hostages in his house: Abdallah Aljamal, who also worked as a spokesman for the Hamas. As we already know Hamas health ministry and spokesmen gave many times unreliable numbers about Gaza causalities. UN spokesman, Farhan Haq, said on April 28th the initial numbers were not backed up by actual data.
Al Jazeera do have millions of readers : most of them are Shiite in the middle east. Do your math... but no western person takes them as a reliable source.
The 2nd issue is when civilians are abused as human shield and when dozens of Hamas armed people fires (RPGs in a crowded market place) : you should expect cross fire casualties.
With so many civilians on the scene and so many mobile phones , so many surveillance cams : yet not a single video of the alleged massacre? if Al Jazeera had a footage of 275 bodies in Al-aqsa hospital: be sure they will show those bodies them in an uncensored video. it serves their purpose. The only video that was released show 20-30 people , all men in fighting age.
Hamas and Al Jazeera control together what video is released from the Gaza strip .
The IDF operation could have ended like "black hawk down" movie , however, due to the air and ground support they got , it ended with minimal casualties to the the rescue team. its a miracle that it ended with so few casualties (to both sides).
The US-pier: Hamas tried to shell that pier several times. Humanitarian crisis serves their goals. They don't like when tons of food supplies is entering the city.

They also really love referring to cities with paved roads, multilevel buildings, and other large-scale permanent infrastructure as "camps" so that they can perpetuate the narrative that all Gazans are "refugees" from the 1948 war who should be allowed to "return" to their "homes" in the "occupied" land of Israel.
Good point.
They’re the propaganda arm of Qatar, so it’s not surprising.
What pisses me off is that no one mentions, not even our own media, is that there are still 8 American hostages in Gaza and we have a president that's too weak to do anything about it.
another point rarely mentioned is that there are 5 muslim Israeli citizens also held hostage, just for having the wrong citizenship...
It's not that he's too weak. It's that he doesn't want to anger the Iranian sponsors of Hamas. After all he and Obama gave them billions to create Hamas and the Houthi military capability.
What happened to Americas we dont negotiate with terrorists... ?? Now you have a president who does
What also pisses me off is that there are still thousands of Palestinian hostages held inside Israeli military prisons and nobody in MSM talks about it because they're too weak to withstand the Israeli lobby.
Biden is trying to convince Israel & Hamas to accept a ceasefire, but yeah, this isn't really doing anything because the two parties can't agree on who controls Gaza after.
It doesn't even make sense for the soldiers to start firing before reaching the hostages like it says. They had to be undercover for the hostages to be rescued alive.
True, but the value of Palestinian life in Israeli culture has been on display for the past 8 months.

Why is it assumed that the 274, who are more likely 20 or 30, were killed by IDF weapons? What about Hamas' weapons6
Exactly! They were shooting RPGs in a residential neighborhood.
They probably shot anyone in the way as well just to blame it on Israel
Where do you get the number 20 or 30? What's the source for that
When a hostage gets rescued by police, deaths of hostages or bystanders usually considered the fault of the hostage takers, why here is any different for people is strange.
But the assumption that only Israeli bullets and explosives kill people and not Hamas ones just takes things to a whole new level.
@@Khronogi literally making stuff up in your head is a better source than most media now lmao
The pier part is pretty hilarious. I can imagine the IDF cabinet be like "We can come with choppers or the multiple available roads but no no, let's do it with boats through this shaky pier instead"
Every civilian casualty is hamas’s fault, holding hostages at a refugee ‘camp’ but somehow it’s the other guy’s fault
Literally the same logic as when a bank robber holds someone at gunpoint
The sad thing is most the people calling it a massacre probably couldn’t even tell you where Israel is located on a map
Edit: Fixed a grammatical error
Only successful operation that actually got 100 hostages out was the temporary ceasefire in 2023.
All other actions trying to get hostages out led to either dead hostages, dead soldiers or high civilian casualties. Getting four civilians out while multiple troops got injured and calling for danger close fire support in a population dense area with a high likelihood of other hostages around.
In no other context would that be called a successful hostages rescue operation.
Im pretty sure if theyre locked in enough to know about this individual action. They can probably show you where isreal is on a map 🤷♂️

Thanks Preston. Since the start of the Ukraine conflict, you have gained my trust as someone that doesn’t try to mislead or misrepresent facts and works to give a fuller picture of a story, giving context from multiple sources, and highlighting potential biases in reporting. Even if not always news that is great to hear. Wish news networks were more like this. I like Al Jazeera for other articles, but for the Israel-Palestine conflict, they have a blind spot so massive that it could conceal a whole tunnel network and weapons cache inside it.

losing their reporter and their hostages
Thank you Preston for your excellent research and reporting. As an American, I consider this a hostage rescue operation with collateral damage (274 hostiles).

There was a guy, an Iraqi author, back in 2003. He had a best-selling book in Iraq at that time, and it was basically a compilation of news clippings from Saddam/Arab media before/during the US invasion.
One of the many gems in it was that the Americans had dropped a nuclear bomb on downtown Baghdad. No, seriously.
It's been my experience that the Arab 'street' believes all manner of whacky tabloid-level things.
Listening to my friends and family talk about this shit makes me want rip my hair out. They dont care about facts they care about what they think. The media war has been won almost.
Part of the current paradigm: You get the info out first, you get it loud, you keep repeating it in various ways, and it sort of takes hold as the accepted narrative before there is any reasoned examination of the facts. You create echo chambers and people's existing info/bias do the rest. The Internet and 24/7 cable service amplifies the effect rather than reducing it.
Those here on this channel remember how fast the hospital "bombing" blew up, and the reluctant back-tracking by MSM when it became obvious they had swallowed Hamas propaganda whole and dumped it out as "truth". Try using that as an argument with family!

Does it matter?
Everything about gaza, those who started a genocidal war.
But what about the wars in Mynamar, Sudan, and Ethiopia, where there is real massacre and starvation?, but i see no protests or aid, i guess its all comes down to public relations, as rapists murderers get love from the west, but those who in real need are forgotten, thats the real tragedy imo..
Those other wars are not being funded with our taxes. We are not paying for their weapons, nor are we providing diplomatic cover and immunity for their crimes. Israel, on the other hand…
A lot is actually happening but for whatever reason, we have to focus on this gAzA gEnOciDe.
Simon Whistler's Warographics actually does episodes called "Situation Room" where it brings up current events and issues. By far, Gaza is nothing but a spec compared to the dumpster fires currently happening in Haiti, Myanmar, and Sudan to name a few. But I guess, with those conflicts, Al-Jazeera can't blame the Jews. 😬
@keso_de_bola1750 because it helps divert attention.
Look at Spain and South Africa government for example, failed governments, so they focus on it.
Or the american naval pier, at all its time, it delivers less aid than israel brings in one day, and the airdrops, its small quantities, and tbh they killed fair numbers of gazans hitting their heads..
Of ther was famine in gaza we would see as they film everything, honestly the aid is just way fir the west to feel good for themselves, while in sudan is the real risk of famine..

Your equating hostage takers with the actual hostages. That's madness. Never in the annals of military history has a hostage rescue been seen through some moral prism by those aiding and abetting the actual hostage takers. Just because the arab social media manipulators create a false alternate reality where the aggressor and abductor is know the victim does not make it true. That you play both sides is not helpful.

How can you trust the account of what happened when even hamas is never mentioned. Like try to lie a little with some sprinkling of truth.
stop the hms propaganda. it's bad enough that a lot of ppl follow it
I'd also like to note that it was a bunch of "civilians" keeping these Israelis captive!... And how many more "civilians" were aware that these hostages were being held in these locations and just kept their mouths shut and went about things like it was just another day.. Personally if I knew there were hostages being kept in a certain location I would not want to be anywhere in the vicinity just for this exact reason, expecting Israel to bring the pain in order to get their people back.. This is again on Hamas and the civilians supporting them. If they didn't have hostages there then Israel has no reason to come in guns blazing to rescue these innocent hostages who did nothing to deserve what happened to them.
How dare they rescue the people that were kidnapped and tortured.
The pier is not "rickety" by any stretch, but it is limited to functioning to Sea State 3 waves (1 ft 8 in to 4 ft 1 in) heights. When storms come in it is move to a protected harbor. During the Normandy operations, a storm came in and completely destroyed one of the 3 floating piers. The oceans have lots of power in wave form.
Al Jazeera still I havent seen them reporting about a single combatant. Its all women and children and they took a whole day before reporting on the hostages recue. Im sorry but I cant take Al Jazeera serously
Interestingly they post the Hamas spokemans updates on their Arabic TH-cam channel but not the English one.
honestly anything by aljazeera says isnt even worth reporting
I'm just asking.. Could it be a bad idea to open fire on the rescue forces? Maybe many of the dead were shot by the terrorists? It can't be that everyone was hurt by Israeli forces!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Excellent as always. Appreciate it.
First they’re saying why didn’t the IDF warn the people they’re coming so the people could evacuate, now they’re saying the IDF indiscriminately shot people at random. Wouldn’t you consider them making all that noise shooting people would be somewhat of a warning to the people? I can’t see why the IDF would do either one if they had to be undetected until the last moment, so they could rescue the hostages without incident.
Get off the fence Preston. You know this was a hostage rescue and no more of a massacre then saving our surrounded soldiers in Mogadishu was.
I'm a Vietnam combat veteran. It was an exceedingly nasty war: "On the basis of the VLHS data, Hirschman and his team estimate that 655,000 men, 143,000 females, and 84,000 children were killed as a result of the American War for a total of 882,000 war deaths."
I put this forth for context, as war is not a video game - it's about death and destruction, and horror.
There are approximately 2.3 million people of Vietnamese descent residing in the U.S. as of 2023. This is because of the fear of communism, and the desire for freedom.
The United States does not murder civilians - we welcome them. Civilians have died in every war. This is where context becomes pretty important. The US does not target civilians; however, considering the massive firepower of the US, there are often a lot of dead innocent folks when the shooting stops.
