As an Israeli survivor of a terrorist attack in 2016, I have to say the most powerful moments of my life was when the counter-terrorist big guy opened the door of the fridge we were hiding in and told us we were safe. He was huge, scary looking, breathing heavily and I was so happy he was on my side. It took me years to process the experience and I've only started to really deal with it after Oct 7th... God bless our brave soldiers and thank you
@@tammy9497 Yes and I remain committed to peace, I am not blinded by my trauma. Arabs, Muslims, Druze and Bedouin are my brothers. It's the islamic brotherhood / isis / hamas who are enemies of all humanity. Pray for the hostages.
I served in Lebanon 2006 as a lone soldier ... I just finished reserve duty after 15+ years two years ago ... I tried to get back into my unit on October 7th ... "Sorry, the response rate is 150% - we don't need you."
Why the hell would an American born citizen serve in an occupation army that does nothing but opress the Palestinian people in the West Bank (terrorist). He is so manipulative that he only talks about selective points. He conveniently forgot to mention the 50+ years of occupation, the apartheid system, the 16 years of besieging Gaza and recently cutting off water, electricity, food, and medicine to 2n4 million people. Israel is a terrorist state and this guy is a great example of the brutality of the idf terror army. Listen to Norman Finkelstein for a true perspective.
That was very brave of you to volunteer to go anyway! I am impressed that someone would do that. I have only learned about the lone soldier thing since Oct 7th. I hope Israel accomplishes the goals. I am praying for Israel and the leaders and the IDF and the hostages and their families. I hope a miracle happens and they are somehow released without Israel having to give back people in prison who committed terrorist attack and people who actually committed the attacks of Oct 7. That’s absurd Hamas even asked for that. Freedom fighters they are not.

@@Unxpektedwhy won’t ANY Arab country-Egypt Jordan Syria Iran, all who support the “Palestinians” & hate Israel won’t let the Gaza Arabs take refuge there? 🤔
@@CaterinaLai-xz1gxim down for both sides to discuss point of views, but as soon as i start hearing vacuous marxist rubes make idiotic and hyperbolic accusations..... 😂😂 And yea, the idf built a machine that ensures full baby coverage. 😅 So, theres only been one instance of suspected use of phosphorus smoke screens, in Lebanon against Hezbollah. I mean, maybe they were hezbollah babies? And those accusations come from reports by completely corrupt, morally confused, marxist ideologues at Amnesty and HRW. Both have openly shilled for and pushed pro humas/islamist rhetoric, and both have long been weaponized against Izreal. Alot like UNRWA. These organizations, and many other NGOs and the like, depend on the multi billion dollar palestinin refugee industry as a cash cow. I mean, Amnesty is the same imbecilic organization that claims izreal is an "apartheid"state. Or technically "apartheid like practices", since "Palestinians" are not Izreali citizens, and they have their own elected governments responsible for their rights. No one seems to be screaming for the US to give mexican citizens rights of US citizenship. At the end of the day, these NGOs only continuing existing and raking in the funds if there is conflict. No conflict, or no Isreal, then no major funding for the amnesty oppiortunists, or the human "rights" eye closers. 😅 😂😂 well i guess in the US, they just have to walk across the southern border and then Dems give them anything they want. But yea, point remains. Isreal is definitively not an apartheid state. So im not sure how much we can actually trust these gaslighting organization. Either way, not one baby "doused", at all. 😊
-75 years of oppression of the Palestinian people -Being kicked out of your own country in 1947 before Israël did not exist -Not having right to basic human needs: sanitation, education and undergoing an economic blokkade -installing an apartheid state - IDF terrorizing the Palestinian territories with random raids, killing for no reason - Israël counting on BILLIONS on aid from USA People need to see the reality for what is. It is clear who is the David and who is Goliath and the world is seeing the Truth.

May God bless America so we can give Israel the 14 billion dollars they’re asking for to back up their war , my problem is that because I’m Christian I feel sad for all the churches they bombed and all the Christians they killed , it makes me extremely sad that Jews in Israel spit whenever they pass by a church and call Christins idol worshippers . It’s sad but yeah God bless America and God bless our taxes money .
@matej9255 unfortunately Noone wants to think about that question. They just want israel to render gaza uninhabitable in the name of defending itself against unarmed men women and ch8ldren
Im also a former IDF lone soldier, 2005 draft. At that time you had to be in the country for over a year from your immigration date to get draft papers. By the time I was drafted I was reasonably fluent in Hebrew. Couldn’t image doing it fresh from landing without knowing the language. Respect Laibel that’s a very tough accomplishment, pure Rabak.
Thank you Mike! Laibel, good work. Shkoyach. I serve alongside Muslims and Druze Arabs here and we're all brothers in arms who just want peace and quiet for the region.
How refreshing to listen to two men in a civil conversation. As a non Jewish person from Australia that was fortunate to visit Jerusalem in 2019, I can also voucher that Israel first and foremost is a beautiful country. It's made up of many Religions and diverse people. My husband and I are Catholic's and visited many of the Christian sights, even into Jordon. Our travel agent was Jewish and our guide was a Palestinian ( a very nice man) The hotel we stayed in was Arabic ( A lovely place and good service) and everyone lived and worked side by side. How sad that these two countries and their communities are torn apart, killed and destroyed by pure evil. A great podcast. Thank you.
I omitted to say Joshua ( our Jewish travel agent) was a fantastic person. All arrangements for our holiday was done by emails. Joshua got everything right and organised a memorial holiday for us.
@@anna-mariagarfi2027 you had more access to travel to Christian sites than Palestinian Christians that live there, who live under Israeli military occupation.
@@patriciaburkell8024 the simple truth is that if you are for Israel, then you are for the subjugation and persecution of Palestinian Christians. If you are a Christian, that means that you claim to be apart of the Body of Christ, while favoring the persecution of the Body of Christ.
How I know that the calls for ceasefire are based on antisemitism... On Christmas Turkey targeted a Kurdish hospital in northern Iraq because they treated Kurdish soldiers who were injured fighting against ISIS. Where are the protests and riots and condemnation for Turkey intentionally attacking a hospital?
@@biffdanielson2820 well prior to wwi the ottoman empire played different ethnic groups off against each other to coordinate and conduct genocides. At the end of wwi the carving up was supposed to be a means of giving different groups their own safe place to call their home country. They did a crap job of carving it up though but one thing that the ottoman/Turkey refused to do was loose the areas that were supposed to form Kurdistan and eastern Greece. So Turkey investment went back to war post wwi for a few years to continue fighting against the allies who eventually got so sick of fighting they allowed Turkey to continue controlling those two regions. That's when Turkey solidified control of Constantinople/Istanbul and the Dardanelle Straits and solidified control over the Northwest section of where Kurds lived and called home. Then the state of Turkey started the coordinated systematic methods of doing everything they could to ensure Kurdistan would never become a thing because of their desire to hold onto that area. Which is why they consider any Iraqi Syrian or Iranian Kurds who want autonomy to be terrorists who might spread the idea of autonomy to the parts of Kurdistan that is within turkeys borders. That's why you see things like Turkey conducting military actions against Iraqi and Syrian Kurds. Because they represent a unified Kurdish area that threatens their argument that the Kurds need to be ruled over by foreign powers and can't govern themselves
You have to be kidding. Because an attack on Kurdish hospital didn’t get enough attention (in your mind,) anyone who calls for a ceasefire hates Jews? Israel has lied at every turn. Like how they’re going out of their way to avoid civilians, meanwhile half of the munitions they’ve dropped are unguided. Or maybe people are calling for a ceasefire because Israel is killing an average of 140 children a day, compared to other conflicts, that number is insane (for example it was an average of 3 a day in Syria, 2 in Afghanistan, and 0.7 in Ukraine.
Hey Mike, much appreciate the work bringing on guys to tell our side of the story ! Much respect from an idf combat engineer grunt working hard on this War👊

@@Cjones322Have you seen the damn border? Yeah bruh, it's an invasion. How many military age Chinese men have come across? In the middle of the summer the number was 400,000. So where's it at now? Pay attention.
Why people here are outraging about showing only one side? The topic of this video is “IDF soldier on the Israel-Hamas war”, it is just his perspective and nothing more, if you don't like it get over it Or wait for Mike to bring one of Hamas “Freedom Fighters” to the show (which will be kinda hard consider the circumstances) and then see how he would advocate for peace, a two-state solution, and saving innocent lives. It is so easy to “know” when you don’t actually know…
78% of Gazans approve of Hamas, this is a very cut and dry conflict. For people to try and justify the Hamas massacre and rape of Israeli women and children is disgusting.
In a Gazan Palestinian survey, 60% of Gazans support the invasion on 10 /7. Up to 75% are not against it. It’s one of their institutional surveys; the rest were just don’t care or and only like 6% work against it. That’s the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth they have a Q ran that says to get rid of all of us-and their neighbors next to them are their number one target always. That’s how they obtained 58 nations by killing us. They have killed over 700 million people and that’s easily obtainable too. There’s a link.🔗
People these days will be outraged without even bothering to watch the entire podcast/interview. They're the ones who get "news" from TH-cam Shorts bcos they have the attention span of a gold fish. Then you also have the ones who expect everything to be in a debate format so that they can claim that the side they support "won" the debate. Mike literally addresses in the first few minutes of the video that this is to understand the POV of an IDF soldier n encourages interested parties from the Palestinian side to reach out n come onboard yet there are so many dimwits crying out that this is a biased n one sided argument.🤦🏻♂️
Maybe because he doesn't show the palestinian perspective so this is unfair and biased. There is no contradiction against the IDF here, Mike is a zionist shill we all know this.
As a Christian, I love Israel and the Jewish people, Israel is the only true friend the US has in the Middle East, as Americans we better care what happens to Israel, God told Abraham he would bless those that bless him and curse those that curse him, that Promise still stands, Stand with Israel!!!
I am fairly certain I was in the same unit as him just 10 or so years earlier and I served with Muslims and Christians in my unit and it was never an issue that crossed my mind. One of my platoon commanders was Druze and it was not something anybody thought about or talked about. I only thought about it after moving to the US and hearing people talk about this war in the framework of American-style racism. Israel has other problems but skin color or ethnicity was not something I experienced.
The only apartheid countries in the MENA are the 22 Arab-Islamic totalitarian theocratic states. Israel is the only legitimate democratic nation in the MENA where all of its citizens have equal rights under the law. Brave Arab Muslim peace activists like: Sophia Khalifa Shramko, Luai Ahmed, Bassem Eid, Timor David Aklin, Loay Alshareef, Rawan Osman, Yoseph Haddad, Sheikh Gideon Abu Sabit, Fatema Al Harbi, Mosab Yousef, Kabbiyeh Mohamed, Tawfik Hamid, Irshad Manji, Ayan Hirsi Ali, Imam Mohammad Tawhidi, Rawaf al-Saeen, Sohail Ahmed, Dalia Ziada, Muhammad Zoabi etcetera etcetera... Have completely destroyed & debunked the claims of apartheid & oppression in Israel against non-Jews. The blatant hypocrisy & disinformation spread by the UN, and other so-called "human rights" organizations that have literally been caught red-handed taking funding from Islamic terrorist organizations(along with state supporters of Islamic terrorism like Qatar & Iran) and employing LITERAL members of Islamic terrorist organizations have zero credibility. The hypocritical obsession with, and double standards applied to Israel are the product of 2000 years of the all pervasive conditioning of Jew hatred(that is often subconscious)period, end of. "Progressive" college students were just chearing on the Houthis, a sadistically antisemitic, anti-democratic, Islamic terrorist group whose banner has literally read "curse upon the Jews" since it's inception LMAO...! It is the libelous pseudo-historical propaganda narrative disseminated by the likes of HRW, B'tselem, Islamic students unions like SJP, and the Islamic propaganda studies programs all over Universities in America (that have received $30 billion dollars from the terrorist state of Qatar over the last 20 years to do their bidding) that is responsible for the indoctrinated zombies of my generation screaming apartheid, colonialism, white supremacy, ethnic cleansing, and genocide LOL... The entire cause of the conflict are the Islamic imperialist/pan-Arab colonialist aspirations fueled by the psychotically sadistic hatred of Jews that is inherent to the supersessionist, supremacist, totalitarian ideology of Islam. The suffering of the so-called "palestinians" aka Arab colonizers, is the sole product of their own hateful intolerant ideology & leadership. They have never wanted peace, because a peaceful coexistence with Jews, and other non-Muslims, AS EQUALS, is incompatible with their Islamic ideology. Jews have never abused, subjugated, and oppressed by Muslims since the pact of Umar? In 1244 the Islamic Khwarazmiyya colonizers massacred & expelled the Jews from Jerusalem. In 1517 the Islamic colonizer Murad Bey slaughtered thousands of Jews in Jerusalem, Safed, and Hevron. Whole communities of Jews in Eretz-Israel were murdered or exiled to Cyprus in 1576. Jews were murdered, raped & tortured by Muslims during the Jerusalem persecutions from 1623-40. Musta'ravi Jews of the Old Yishuvim were again raped & murdered en masse during the 1660 Tzfat & Tiberias pogroms. Jews were again butchered & exiled from Jerusalem in 1720, along with the destruction of Hurva synagogue by Islamic imperialist colonizers. Jews once again, were murdered & raped en masse during another Hevron pogrom in 1775. Jews were butchered & raped during another Tzfat pogrom in 1799. Haim Farhi was butchered in 1820, and many Jews were enslaved in Eretz-Israel. In 1834 Jews, once again, were raped & butchered en masse in the horrific pogroms perpetrated in Tzfat, Hevron & Jerusalem by the Muslim Ottoman & the Arab fellahin colonizers. R' Avraham Zoref was cut into pieces in 1851 in Jerusalem for the crime of being a Jew. In 1873 Sara Rivlin was raped & butchered like an animal along with her baby by a group of Arab Muslim fellahin colonizer thugs. And, who can forget the 1920 massacres perpetrated by the Salafist psychopath Arab colonizer descended from Muhammad's grandson Hassan Ali(the future LITERAL Nazi that worked for Hitler in Berlin, and planned with Eichmann to bring the final solution to the Jews of the MENA)the Grand Mufti himself, Haj Amin Al-Husseini... or, the 1921 Jaffa, and Ayelet Ha'Shachar Massacres, and the massacres of 1929 in Hevron, Tzfat, Jerusalem, Jaffa, Gaza, Nablus, Ramla, Jenin, Acre, Tel Aviv, Har Tuv, Kfar Uria, Be'er Tuvia, Beit Sh'an, Gedara, Moza, Mishmar Ha'emek, Chulda, Ein Zeitim, Haifa, as well as the 1936 massacres in Jerusalem, Beersheba, Anabta, Jaffa, the Tiberius Massacre of 1938, the Kfar Ha'Shiloach Massacre, the Pkh'in Massacre, the Ruchama Massacre, the Mishmar Ha'karmel Massacre & all other massacres during the 1936-39 Arab riots. Not to mention the 13 centuries of habitual humiliation, the rapes, the beatings, the murders with no legal recourse, the oppression of living without the civil & economic legal rights afforded Muslims, restrictions on employment, the bans on purchasing & owning lands, the bans on praying at the Kotel, the bans on stepping foot upon the temple mount etcetera ad-nauseam that lasted until 1859. Dhimmitude makes the Jim Crow era look preferable by comparison. The first mass genocide of Jews in Europe was perpetrated by the Arab Umayyad colonizers in Grenada(who raped and butchered all 5000 Jews of Grenada in an afternoon)over a thousand years before the Nazis existed. And, the yellow Juden star used by the Nazis... that was inspired by the Pact of Umar, which forced the subordinated second class Jewish dhimmis to wear special clothing (which at times included a yellow Magen David). The self-righteous, ultracrepidarian, dipshits simping for Arab-Islamic colonialist/imperialist terrorists cannot gaslight Mizrahi & Musta'ravi Jews. Over 1 million ethnic Arabs migrated to Eretz-Israel from 1820-1942. Half a million Arabs arrived between 1930-1942 alone, and that doesn't even include the illegal immigration. Ottoman & British census, immigration, and tax records are incontrovertible. Barely 10% of the people calling themselves "Palestinians" are descended from pre-colonial indigenous Jews or Samaritans. Not to mention the genetic data that proves Arabs & Levantines have distinct genetic origins(Google is your friend). Piedong Shen's genetic research conclusively proves that the Samaritans, which have been living in Eretz-Israel for the last 4000+ years, are FAR more genetically similar to Mizrahi & Musta'ravi Jews(which comprise 70% of Israeli Jews)than they are to the predominantly ethnic Arab "Palestinians". Jews were speaking of their indigeneity to the land of Israel in the 1940's, back when the Arabs now calling themselves "Palestinians" were still self-identifying as either Qays or Yamans (aka from the Arab tribes of Arabia or the Arab tribes of Yemen) as they had since the Islamic invasion. And, certain remnants of the oppression of dhimmitude have never even ended, as Jews are STILL restricted by the Waqf from praying atop THEIR OWN TEMPLE MOUNT lol. Muslims call Jews praying on their own JEWISH Temple mount (the most holy site in Judaism, which wouldn't even be holy for Muslims if not for Jews) a "provocation" LOL. When Muslims can tolerate Jews praying atop their own Jewish Temple mount, and can tolerate Jews rebuilding their Temple atop their own Temple mount, then that would be a sign that Muslims are actually ready to co-exist peacefully as equals. This will probably never happen though, as Islamic fundamentalists like the Salafists(which btw 77% of Christians in Judea & Samaria{aka "the west bank" as it was re-named in 1967}consider an existential threat to their continued existence) mandate the subordination of Jews, and believe Jews are destined for annihilation during their genocidal wet dream fantasy, which Muhammad prophesized, and they call the "day of judgement". They believe... "The Day of Judgement will come, when the Muslims will crush the Jews completely: And when every tree behind which a Jew hides will say: 'There is a Jew behind me, Kill him!" This is why at all the pro-HAMAS rallies they're always chanting "Khaybar Khaybar ya yehud!" & "Beware Jews, Muhammad's army is sure to return! Plant your Gharqad trees Jews!"... These chants are to remind Jews how Muhammad beheaded all 800 men & boys of the Banu Qurayza, and took the women & girls as "concubines" aka sex slaves. These chants are to remind Jews how Muhammad's army committed a genocide against the Jews at Khaybar, and when Muhammad returns on the "Day of Judgement" they will finish the job as Muhammad prophesized. Did you know that the Quran, which calls Jews "the lowliest of creatures" states that Jews are made to pay the Jizya as a reminder that they have been "subdued & humiliated"...? And, the braindead people think "Zionism is a supremacist ideology" lol.
@@mahamedjmal2536 I'm going to spare you the details of the several hundred historically recorded instances of Mizrachi Jews being massacred, raped, expelled, and dispossessed of their property throughout 1300+ years of oppressive Islamic rule in the rest of the MENA as I don't feel like writing for the next two hours. It suffices to say that whole communities of Jews were genocided by Arab-Islamic colonialists in the MENA on dozens of occasions. In fact, as mentioned previously, the habitual genocides of Jews at the hands of Muslims started when Muhammad himself singlehandedly beheaded all 800 of the Banu Qurayza men & boys with a single pubic hair, and took the women & girls as sex slaves. Did you know there are four separate suras in the Quran which detail how to properly rape one's sex slaves? As Muhammad states in the Quran, a Muslim man should not rape Muslim women, however if your sex slaves convert to Islam, you should treat them more favorably, but they're still ok rape, as Allah is A-ok with it. Did you know Muhammad took Rayhānah bint Zayd, a Jewish women of the Banu Nadir as his "wife" by force, and began raping her the same day he beheaded her husband? Muhammad did the same to his Jewish "wife" Safiyya bint Huyayy, raping her on the same day he had tortured her husband Kenana with a hot iron poker, before beheading him as well. That was the famed Khaybar genocide the "Palestinians" are always chanting about. Khaybar Khaybar ya yehud! Remember Khaybar Jew! The Army of Muhammad is sure to return Jew! Plant your Gharqad trees Jew! Did you know that Constantin Zureiq the Pan-Arab nationalist & historian that coined the term "Nakba" for the events of 1948 described in his 1948 book 'The Meaning of Disaster' that the failure of the Arabs to displace the Jews was THE "Nakba"...? Zureiq's "catastrophe" was simply... "Seven Arab states declare war on Zionism, stop impotent before it & return on their heels." Zureiq lamented that "dispersion has become the lot of the Arabs (not "palestinians") rather than of the Jews" and he wrote that "We must admit OUR mistakes, and recognize the extent of OUR RESPONSIBILITY for the CATASTROPHE ("Nakba") that is OUR lot." Zureiq even stated his fear that Arabs (not "Palestinians")} might be "forced to return to their homes to live under the Zionist shadow". Zureiq defined the "Nakba" as a catastrophe of Arab failure to eliminate the Jews, not a catastrophe of (imaginary) Zionist ethnic cleansing. Zureiq described the main problem of Arab (not "Palestinian") civilization as a lack of RATIONALISM, calling it the "prerequisite that encompassed all other prerequisites" needed to create a modern Arab (not "Palestinian") society of the future. Zureiq believed that the "cultural backwardness" pervasive among Arabs, posed a grave threat to the dream of a modern secular Arab society. Zureiq believed that "secular & rational thinking is the only way to realize an Arab society of higher civilization that looks toward, and builds for the future". Zureiq wrote that "The reason for the victory of the Zionists is that the roots of Zionism are grounded in modern Western life, while we for the most part are still distant from this life & hostile to it. They live in the present & for the future, while we continue to dream the dreams of the past & to stupefy ourselves with its fading glory". Zureiq also presents his notion of a "revolution of reason" where he makes a plea for Pan-Arab unity based on a "secular democracy in which diverse individuals & communities can fulfill themselves in a framework of tolerance & mutual respect". The post 1950's Nakba narrative is a fabrication. The few villages that were forced to vacate, suffered so as a result of a military necessity created SOLELY by the Arab fellahin massacres, followed by the Arab League's war of attempted genocide that the Arabs, and Arabs alone started. As soon as the final '47 UN partition decision was declared in November, the Arab fellahin began waging atrocities against Jews. As Mahmoud Abbas wrote, when he was, but still a junior PLO Executive Committee member, in his essay "Madha `Alamna wa-Madha Yajib An Na`mal" [What We Have Learned and What We Should Do] published in "Falastineth Thawra" [Revolutionary Palestine], the official journal of the PLO, Beirut, on March 26, 1976: "The ARAB ARMIES entered Palestine to protect the Palestinians from the Zionist tyranny but, INSTEAD, they abandoned them, FORCED THEM TO EMIGRATE, AND TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES, and threw them into prisons similar to the ghettos in which the Jews used to live in Eastern Europe, as if we were condemned to change places with them: they moved out of their ghettos and we occupied similar ones. The Arab States succeeded in scattering the Palestinian people and in destroying their unity." And, as Prime Minister of Syria Khalid al-Azm stated in his 1972 memoirs: "Since 1948 it is we who demanded the return of the refugees while it is we who made them leave. We brought disaster upon Arab refugees, by inviting them, and bringing pressure to bear upon them to leave. We have rendered them dispossessed. We have accustomed them to begging. We have participated in lowering their moral and social level. Then we exploited them in executing crimes of murder, arson, and throwing bombs upon men, women and children - all this in the service of political purposes." Arabs fled because they were afraid. They had been so demoralized by the radio propaganda of the Arab League that they left. Arabs in Eretz-Israel believed the Arab League's radio propaganda of fabricated "Zionist massacres" because they couldn't believe that Jews wouldn't want vengeance for the horrors they had perpetrated against the Jews. The 120,000 Arabs that didn't believe the Arab League's propaganda stayed, and their descendants now number over 2 million living in Israel as Israeli citizens. Most of the Arabs that fled had only immigrated to the mandate in the previous few decades. In fact, the percentage of Arabs that immigrated between 1900-1947, was nearly identical to percentage of Jews that immigrated in the same period. As I stated before, from 1930-1942 alone 500,000 non-levantine foreign Arabs immigrated to the mandate, and that figure doesn't even include the illegal Arab immigration. As shown in the British Survey of 1946, those that would come to be regarded as "Palestinians" privately owned a grand total of 16.9% of the mandate, and those that would come to be Israelis privately owned 12.7%. The other approximately 70% was public land which during the preceding 400 years of Ottoman rule, was public land belonging to the Sultan, before it was legally vested to the mandate authority. Literally, 70% of the land compromising the state of Israel was throughout the entire 400 years of Ottoman rule (and even prior to that), either 'Arazi Mirie' lands which were state owned lands that belonged the Ottoman sultan, 'Arazi Metruke' lands which were public lands, or 'Arazi Mevat' which were lands that nobody had legally claimed ownership over as it they had been subsequently neglected, and remained uncultivated. Approximately half of Israel was comprised of the Negev desert which was 98% Arazi Mevat land. Jews drained the malarial swamps on the coastal plains, and damned the Jordan river to electrify the land, and it's all documented by countless historiographical documents. Tel-Aviv was uninhabited malarial swamps & desert in 1907 LOL. Ramallah is LITERALLY the only city founded by Arabs in the ENTIRETY of the Eretz-Israel. And, remember, a grand total of 78% of the entire mandate went to the foreign Arab Hashemites from the Hijaz, in violation (as admitted by the British) of the original LON decree, for the creation of the state of Jordan. The Hashemites received the land ("Eastern Palestine") initially earmarked for the "Arab Palestinian state" by the LON mandate as they were "evicted" by the Al-Sauds. And, as per the original LON partition decree what was known as "western palestine" comprising all of modern day Israel, as well as Azza, and Judea/Samaria was to become the "Jewish Palestinian state" aka Israel. Instead the UN offered the Jews 55% of the land initially partitioned for the Jewish state(comprising a whopping 13% of the mandate), but that was 55% too much for the Arab League Nazis. There could have been peace, but the Arab Higher Committee, the Supreme Muslim Council, and the Arab League destroyed such a possibility with their pan-Arab Islamic imperialist aspirations. Emir Faisal representing the Arab League & Chaim Weizmann LITERALLY had a fucking peace treaty signed which granted all of modern day Israel including all of Judea/Samaria, and Azza to the Jewish state, but thanks to the French in 1920 demanding they be granted a mandate authority of their own at the San Remo conference, were granted the mandate for Syria, that led to the Franco-Syrian War, and on July 24th 1920, the French won, and Emir Faisal was expelled from Syria, and the conditions appended in the Faisal-Weizmann treaty were void. Gertrude Bell, and Lawrence of Arabia both accused the French, along with their British enablers, of betraying Faisal, Weizmann, and the Pan-Arab cause by rendering the treaty invalid.
Amazing podcast where truth is spoken without any caviats. As an Indian I can 1000% relate to what Israel is going through with radical terroristic Islam (not to be confused with peaceful muslims). Our country has been fighting this scourge of radical Islam for 75 years since Independence and a 1000 years prior. Israel is a beacon of hope and democracy. God speed to the Israelis and the IDF.
From my experience the “peaceful” Muslims are supportive of Hamas, just not actively participating. All I’ve seen is them encourage violence then cry foul when somebody fights back..
Yo dude quit insulting Islam blatantly and get over this terrorist propaganda... you people are still probably on about with that whole weapons of mass destruction nonsense

He is so manipulative that he only talks about selective points. He conveniently forgot to mention the 50+ years of occupation, the apartheid system, the 16 years of besieging Gaza and recently cutting off water, electricity, food, and medicine to 2n4 million people. Israel is a terrorist state and this guy is a great example of the brutality of the idf terror army. Listen to Norman Finkelstein for a true perspective.
Objective, fact-based, intelligent discussion. The emotional and political spin that has been put on this conflict has unfortunately resulted in a very unrealistic understanding of it by so many people-it is actually crazy. Thank you both for this straightforward, realistic conversation on the war.
lmao this was literally ALL emotion-based. dude is talking about 'hamas infrastructure in the west bank' and glover is talking about 'i think the surgical strikes are working' - not fact based at all.. unless by 'surgical' you mean dropping 2000lb JDAMs on a hospital and hitting people actually undergoing surgery.. in that case they are 'surgical' strikes i suppose
What war isn't full of emotional and political "spin"? Iraq was a political decision based upon lies with a full blown propaganda campaign. This Gaza bombardment has the perfect excuse to level it and attempt an ethnic cleansing. How do you remove all of that from the conversation?
We have heard a few voices from Gaza speak their mind. One old lady blamed Hamas for the deaths and for stealing the aid. Her mouth was literally gagged by the hand of a man. In another case an old lady was speaking in a similar manner to an Al Jazeera reporter. The young men around her looked shell shocked to hear these words said out loud in public. The nervous reporter them summerised her words as " so the situation is uncertain". Palestinians do not have freedom of speech. They are obliged to follow "The Narrative" whether they believe it or not. Censorship is mostly self censorship. It is very rare for opposing voices to be heard. The UN schools teach it the NGOs fund it, the media follow it. When Arabs hear and see the disputation and public argument within Israel, they do not see a free people speaking their mind, they see a society where leadership has lost control of the people.
Interesting! They are dumb by dumbing. So true! We've lost two generations two dumbing down! Palestine has lost every generation! ........ shame! There's still only one way!
The audacity to say Palestinians are "following the narrative" when you are literally repeating Israeli propaganda talking points 😂 Dont let your hate for muslims blind you from the blatant atrocities being committed by the IDF in 4K HD.
@@adamcuneo7189 20 years ago a private conversation of Netanyahu was leaked, he described how Israel aim's to strike Palestinians (Not Hamas) "Painfully" serveral times and how he decieved the US to destory the Oslo accords. Israel never wanted peace, they occupied the land, massacred the people and then conive with the west to find ways to justify their actions and trick you people like you.
In a Gazan Palestinian survey, 60% of Gazans support the invasion on 10 /7. Up to 75% are not against it. It’s one of their institutional surveys; the rest were just don’t care or and only like 6% work against it. That’s the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth they have a Q ran that says to get rid of all of us-and their neighbors next to them are their number one target always. That’s how they obtained 58 nations by killing us. They have killed over 700 million people and that’s easily obtainable too. There’s a link.🔗
You seek for Peace move and be their neighbor like all the people they just killed. They actually had them working for them and that’s how they obtained the information on where their safe houses were and how many people were in the kaboots and everything else so you go do it. you go in the middle of the jungle and live with the savages OK 👌🏻 People Put the rest of us at risk because of your dreams of peace ✌️ q ran says to get rid of all of us. If you can’t be honest about that, then you have a spine and a backbone problem that kills people.
Thank you for a great podcast. Good questioning and excellent discussion from a person who has walked the walk and experienced this hate. The listener benefited from both of your experiences and wisdom.

Dear Mike, I'll give you just 4 facts. First: In one hour I will participate in an IPSC training session in the range located in the central town of Israel. We are 12 shooters. Two of us are Israeli Arabs. Second: There are dozens of Arab members in the Club. Actually the percentage is much higher as opposed to an average 20% of total Israel population. Third: All of them are asking not to post photos of me and them together on social media. 4: Many arab club members have EDC license and they do actualy carry everyday. Respect for your work. Michael

Incredibly well balanced and intelligent discussion which is far more informative and comprehensive than what is being broadcast on main media channels.especially in the UK. Thank you .
He's absolutely right, people are radicalized to fight, not educated to build businesses and improve economy. This is a big problem in that culture seen throughout the world and not just in this particular conflict. The same is seen in Iran, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and so on. Breeding hatred and violence does not, and cannot produce peace and prosperity.
Wow, people stealing their ancestral land, parking them in a concentration camp and cutting basic necessities like water and food makes them wanna fight ? pretty crazy huh ? I agree with you, they should buy bitcoins and attend online business classes instead.

i mean this question should be asked .. nah must be asked to the european gangs which came to the freakin land hamas would not exist if occupation was not lol
It's difficult to build a business when Israelis build illegal settlements to steal your property or have an embargo on your land as a reaction to you attacking those who steal your property.
You can only really understand if you have been to Israel. I love the country and the people and I know about their attitude towards life. And I will come back.🇮🇱❤️🇩🇪✡️
Amazing interview. Thank you for doing this! As a Jew with family and friends in the IDF, and one degree away from personal loss from October 7th, I deeply appreciate you being open to having these discussions. Thank you again!
No Profit In Peace ...There is billions of dollars of international aid for Arab Palestinians is missing or unaccounted for, Hamas’ three top leaders alone are worth a stunning $11 billion, enjoying a life of luxury in the sanctuary of Qatar. Hamas runs an “office” in Qatar’s capital, Doha, and leaders Ismail Haniyeh, Mousa Abu Marzook, and Khaled Mashal maintain an opulent lifestyle that Western jet-setters would envy. Qatar provides Hamas with between $120 million and $480 million per year, according to the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD). “These funds benefit Hamas leaders directly through payroll and kickback schemes and indirectly through social services and government operations that help Hamas maintain political control over Gaza,” according to its October report.
Former IDF lone soldier here. Just to clarify: You do NOT choose where you go in the IDF. You have the option to select infantry and then go to optional selections from there, if you don’t pass you stay in conventional infantry, which does not require a selection but merely a good health profile and sanity.
As a former IDF soldier, what's your opinion on the intentions of Israeli government in Gaza. From what I see they are destroying everything in Gaza as a punishment to turn on Hamas. Lots of civillian casualties and infrastructure destroyed. Even though Hamas hides under a lot of buildings, the level of destruction looks huge to me.
By far one of the best in-depth, eye-opening interviews and perspectives I have seen on the conflict, what happened, and the different perspectives from an insider. Far beyond any big network coverage I have seen. Great job!
As an American I wouldn't jump on a plane and go serve in the military of another Country??? WTF. Imagine a Chinese guy going to fight for China when called upon. We'd call that guy a traitor... He should have stayed in HIS country why is he back here,? Propaganda? The war is still full flight. Netanyahu and gang had the attack plan in hand for a year which is exactly what was carried out and Israel is a genocidal apartheid state called so by many human rights organizations including those in Israel. This guy needs to listen to Noam Chomsky and Dr Norman Finkelstein as these are the descendants of parents in the Holocaust. Most Israeli get a snippet of news about the Palestinians rather it's all about how brave their soldiers are, pictures of Zionist troops in the battle zone basically a very hygienic reality three and four times removed from reality. The Palestinian perspective watch Owen Jones. Israel is playing the victim as always. The original videos of babies and women rape and beheaded turned out fake and you can't find them anywhere anymore.😂.
Are you all bots on here? I mean seriously? Have we just watched the same interview? Because I see a bigot justifying killing innocent civilians because he's been brainwashed by the most disgusting system of apartheid the world has ever seen
I am an Israeli. You should also understand that since Israel is a small country and military service is mandatory, this means that I also served in the army, as did my father, my older brothers, and even my nephews (yes, I'm old). Here, in the State of Israel, life stopped on October 7th. The whole country has been mourning our dead since October 7th. The whole country mourns every soldier killed in the war in Gaza. The whole country worries for all the hostages and prays for their return home. The whole country is mobilizing to help the families of the hostages. It is mobilizing to help 150,000 citizens who were displaced from their homes on the border of Gaza and Lebanon. In Israel, time has stood still.
Mh Half Korean nephew ! Pledge Name Benny Hanawots !! My Dad was Jew . Bad ass 31 years in ARMY and 3 Tours in Nam . LOVE YOUR WORK 💪 U LOOK Identical to my bro .
Fantastic interview gentlemen. Well spoken, articulate and straightforward. Thank you for your service. Both of you. Keep speaking mates. The can’t take that from us.
Are we just going to ignore the real history of this criminal occupation and pretend these thieves have a claim to someone else's property. Fuck freedom and Liberty, we are done.
Testimony by a witness, someone with skin in the game. “I’d love to live next to you in peace, assisting each other towards freedom of prosperity, or … I will die fighting for my family, our freedom, our future.” Me- a former US Army Veteran of the Middle East, a Christian, a father, a husband, An American.
Wow your intentions are so pure. Thank you for assisting the middle east towards freedom and prosperity. We can see today that it worked really really well.
Loved this podcast! Most people don’t realize The entire country of Israel is smaller than New Jersey. They are surrounded by hostile people. I can’t even imagine being that vulnerable after life in the US.
@@danielpohl29 I don't think people realize how much the Iron Dome protects Gazan lives as much as Israelis. Imagine how fast this war would've ended if there was no iron dome.
@@innatarasenko8733 Because Hezbollah? Lebanon went through a bloody civil war after Palestinian refugees entered the country. Lebanon has yet to recover.
There is no controversy for me I fought in the GWOT and seen how evil and ruthless these terrorist/ insurgents really are and a lot of people just don’t know or understand the threat they possess
I’m Polish and my mom’s family really had it tough on Christmas Eve 1939 I might have the year wrong but they where put on a train by the Germans shipped to Germany to work a farm for there troops and my Opa was forced to fight for the German army. What they did at the end was one hell of a story I couldn’t fit it in one comment but they had to escape from the Russians coming . My Opa when he was forced into the military the Germans tattooed a bar code number on him and before they made there escape to the Americans he burned it off with acid he didn’t want that with him the rest of his life . He was tough as nails and that’s where I get my bald head from haha
This was awesome! We need so many more interviews like this on main stream tv. Share share share. Why can people not see the sense which is being spoken here. Who in there right mind believes a terrorist group over everyday soldiers and civilians telling their story! Yet they still do not believe Oct 7 happened the way it did. I’m so angry it’s not funny. The frustration I feel is horrible, I can not imagine how Israelis are feeling right now. ❤ bless you all.
to be honest we are overwheled with grief and depressed we thought the US will be much more supportive then the intial stages of this war now we just hear you leaders mumbles and throwing empty words about peace and ceafire when we all know ceafire is cannot be an option and talking about tit its another insult to our victims. The only light we had now is how much united we are after all of this heppened. but overall the hypocricy of united nations and our overwhalming efforts to justify our pretty obius right to cinduct this war is beyong mindblowing ' and how easy is for the pro-hamas side to affact minds in america is a scary thing
Hey Mike I just found you you’re one of the most legit interviewers on Any podcast. I’ll be watching a lot more your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing and God bless America. God bless our military!
Praying for the families and the IDF soldiers. This is the same comment I will make in each video until this is over.: I am always praying for you Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem: Psalm 122:6 “May they prosper who love you. 7May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.” 🇮🇱 There will be peace when the Prince of Peace comes. Isaiah 9:6-7 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. "Just because technology is improving doesn't mean our humanity is." -John Lovell (Warrior poet)

What an insightful podcast, Mike! You did the very thing I was hoping for…you invited an IDF (former) soldier on to your show to share his first hand perspective! Keep up the great work and good luck with the stem cell procedure!
Is is also what people don't know: the Palestinians are largely Arabs running from conflict-- like those who manage to escape Assad. And they have come from or thru other nations and have had disastrous effects on everyone who tried to help them. The Jordanian king won't have them because they killed his father. Egypt won't have them because of the chaos they caused. The Egyptian president was the general who had to put them down. Everywhere they've gone they've sown chaos and massacres.
I remember the three boys, it broke my heart… it’s the same way i feel when i see the beautiful young boys and girls in the IDF setting out for Gaza… it shouldn’t be necessary and it wouldn’t be if radical islam weren’t the modus operandi of hamas… It’s hard for westerners to understand the level of hate that Gazsns have for the jews… they’re propagandised from such as early age… Kudos to this young man ! Am Israel Chai !🇮🇱🇬🇧
Hey Mike thank you for the video clip. I did 13 years in the US military, 2 years Marines(Nam) and 9 years SF. Had thought about serving with the Israeli Military, but I guess I can file that under all talk. As a suggestion, maybe you could contact Mosab Hassan Yousef, the Green Prince and son of the founder of Hamas for another exciting interview. He has spoken to the UN and many other websites to give a clearer picture about what Hamas is really all about and how to effectively combat them, he is fighting on our side. Just a suggestion. Regards, Denis Berte' 1st Group 18E, SFC(Ret)
Nah a person of "your age " for 1 would not be commenting like this. especially since you are portraying that you are some sort of special Forces soldier. Speaking to Mike a actual green beret with CIA experience. As if he doesnt know what he could do if he wanted to. However he is not no secret spy just helping others. You just sound like the ultimate fraud.
“From the river to the sea…” this saying must be appropriated from Deuteronomy 11:24: “”Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be your's: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.“ Deuteronomy 11:24 KJV From the river to the sea shall YOUR coast be (Israel). I haven’t seen anybody make this connection I’ve googled it and it’s nowhere, so if knowingly they twisted it or unknowingly it’s gotta be the devil perverting God’s word for Hamas….. has anybody noticed this?
How can you say "defending itself" when year after year Israel has taken land away from Palestinians. You are a fool and Im sure pointing this out to you means nothing
Im a South African and Jesus this video gave me chills on how accurate the situation is confirmed by an American Jew. I lost family members in our secret South African bush war against the terrorist communists. Bombing a Wimpy(Fast Food Place) in Benoni, the town I was born. I remember my grade 2 teacher having a .357 revolver on her hip holster giving us classes during terrorists threats. Different time different saga but I can relate. Thanks Mike and Leibel! PS. Some of my best clients in SA were just off Louis Botha Ave. a Jewish community.
Amen Glover. Gawd what a mess. Lookin' forward watchin'. Damn good interview Mike. God Bless ya ! So in touch w/ what's going on today. Really brings it home. I was at Benning. lol! Thanks Mr. Mangel ! Great Interview Mr. Glover !
O believers, if an evildoer brings you any news, verify ˹it˺ so you do not harm people unknowingly, becoming regretful for what you have done Every soul will be detained for what it has done... Do not follow what you have no ˹sure˺ knowledge of. Indeed, all will be called to account for ˹their˺ hearing, sight, and intellect... Indeed, Allah commands justice, grace, as well as generosity to close relatives. He forbids indecency, wickedness, and aggression. He instructs you so perhaps you will be mindful... Every soul that hath sinned, if it possessed all that is on earth, would fain give it in ransom: They would declare (their) repentance when they see the penalty: but the judgment between them will be with justice, and no wrong will be done unto them.
@@annidashafira4510I don't think America has anything directly necessarily against the Muslim religion. It's the radicals that are militant in that religion that are attacking, murdering, Raping etc. And there are no governments or individuals that should ever tolerate that. Even on our side of the world. Crime is crime, and can be called nothing else.
@@rogersweet_OP O believers, if an evildoer brings you any news, verify ˹it˺ so you do not harm people unknowingly, becoming regretful for what you have done. Fight in the way of Allah1 against those who fight against you but do not transgress2 for Allah does not love transgressors. (Al-Baqarah 190) Footnote : 1. The believers are asked to fight those who hindered their efforts in the cause of God, and acted with hostility towards them merely because they sought to fashion human life according to the revealed guidance of God. Earlier, when they were weak and scattered, the Muslims were asked merely to preach and be patient with the wrongful repression meted out to them by their opponents. However, now that a small city state had been established in Madina they were commanded for the first time to unsheathe their swords against those who had resorted to armed hostility against their movement of reform. It was some time after this injunction that the Battle of Badr took place, to be followed by several other battles. 2. The believers are told that material interests should not be the motivation for their fighting, that they should not take up arms against those who were not in opposition to the true faith, that they should not resort to unscrupulous methods or to the indiscriminate killing and pillage which characterized the wars of the pre-Islamic era, the Age of Ignorance. The excesses alluded to in this verse are acts such as taking up arms against women and children, the old and the injured, mutilation of the dead bodies of the enemy, uncalled-for devastation through the destruction of fields and livestock, and other similar acts of injustice and brutality. In the Hadith all these acts have been prohibited. The real intent of the verse is to stress that force should be used only when its use is unavoidable, and only to the extent that is absolutely necessary. (214. Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, "When (will come) the help of Allah'' Yes! Certainly, the help of Allah is near!) Victory only comes after succeeding in the Trials Allah said: أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُواْ الْجَنَّةَ (Or think you that you will enter Paradise) before you are tested and tried just like the nations that came before you This is why Allah said: وَلَمَّا يَأْتِكُم مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ خَلَوْاْ مِن قَبْلِكُم مَّسَّتْهُمُ الْبَأْسَآءُ وَالضَّرَّآءُ (...without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments) meaning, illnesses, pain, disasters and hardships. Ibn Mas`ud, Ibn `Abbas, Abu Al-`Aliyah, Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Murrah Al-Hamdani, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak, Ar-Rabi`, As-Suddi and Muqatil bin Hayyan said that (Al-Ba'sa') means poverty. Ibn `Abbas said that (...and Ad-Darra') means ailments. (and were so shaken) for fear of the enemy, and were tested, and put to a tremendous trial. An authentic Hadith narrated that Khabbab bin Al-Aratt said, "We said, `O Messenger of Allah! Why do you not invoke Allah to support us Why do you not supplicate to Allah for us' He said: «إِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ يُوضَعُ الْمِنْشَارُ عَلى مَفْرَقِ رَأْسِهِ فَيَخْلُصُ إِلى قَدَمَيْهِ لَا يَصْرِفُهُ ذَلِكَ عَنْ دِينِهِ، وَيُمْشَطُ بِأَمْشَاطِ الْحَدِيدِ مَا بَيْنَ لَحْمِهِ وَعَظْمِهِ، لَا يَصْرِفُهُ ذلِكَ عَنْ دِينِه». (The saw would be placed on the middle of the head of one of those who were before you (believers) and he would be sawn until his feet, and he would be combed with iron combs between his skin and bones, yet that would not make him change his religion.) He then said: «وَاللهِ لَيُتِمَّنَّ اللهُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ حَتَّى يَسِيرَ الرَّاكِبُ مِنْ صَنْعَاءَ إلى حَضْرَمَوْتَ، لَا يَخَافُ إِلَّا اللهَ وَالذِّئْبَ عَلى غَنَمِهِ، وَلَكِنَّــكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَسْتَعْجِلُون» (By Allah! This matter (religion) will spread (or expand) by Allah until the traveler leaves San`a' to Hadramawt (both in Yemen, but at a great distance from each other) fearing only Allah and then the wolf for the sake of his sheep. You are just a hasty people.) And Allah said: الم - ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهِ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ - الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلوةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ (Alif-Lam-Mim. Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe,'' and will not be tested And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allah will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars.) (29:1-3) The Companions experienced tremendous trials during the battle of Al-Ahzab (the Confederates). Allah said: إِذْ جَآءُوكُمْ مِّن فَوْقِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُمْ وَإِذْ زَاغَتِ الاٌّبْصَـرُ وَبَلَغَتِ الْقُلُوبُ الْحَنَاجِرَ وَتَظُنُّونَ بِاللَّهِ الظُّنُونَاْ - هُنَالِكَ ابْتُلِىَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَزُلْزِلُواْ زِلْزَالاً شَدِيداً - وَإِذْ يَقُولُ الْمُنَـفِقُونَ وَالَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ مَّا وَعَدَنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ إِلاَّ غُرُوراً (When they came upon you from above you and from below you, and when the eyes grew wild and the hearts reached to the throats, and you were harboring doubts about Allah. There, the believers were tried and shaken with a mighty shaking. And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease (of doubts) said: "Allah and His Messenger promised us nothing but delusion!'') (33:10-12) When Heraclius asked Abu Sufyan, "Did you fight him (Prophet Muhammad)'' He said, "Yes.'' Heraclius said, "What was the outcome of warfare between you'' Abu Sufyan said, "Sometimes we lose and sometimes he loses.'' He said, "Such is the case with Prophets, they are tested, but the final victory is theirs.'' Allah's statement: مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ خَلَوْاْ مِن قَبْلِكُم (...without (such) (trials) as came to those who passed away before you) meaning, their way of life. Similarly, Allah said: فَأَهْلَكْنَآ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُم بَطْشاً وَمَضَى مَثَلُ الاٌّوَّلِينَ (Then We destroyed men stronger (in power) than these ـ and the example of the ancients has passed away (before them)) (43: 8) and: وَزُلْزِلُواْ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُ مَتَى نَصْرُ اللَّهِ (...were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, "When (will come) the help of Allah.'') They pleaded (to Allah) for victory against their enemies and invoked Him for aid and deliverance from their hardships and trials. Allah said: أَلاَ إِنَّ نَصْرَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ (Yes! Certainly, the help of Allah is near!) Allah said: فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْراً - إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْراً (Verily, along with every hardship is relief. Verily, along with every hardship is relief.) (94:5, 6) So just as there is hardship, its equal of relief will soon arrive. This is why Allah said: أَلاَ إِنَّ نَصْرَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ (Yes! Certainly, the help of Allah is near!)
Thank you for sharing this story. More people need to understand what the actual situation is. I don’t think it’s difficult to know what’s right. The IDF is fighting for justice, freedom and peace. If you look simply at one side, targeting civilians and celebrating the fact that civilians are dying, and one side, doing everything they can to prevent civilian death, even on the “enemy”, the answer is clear. People need to be more informed about this situation, rather than just believing, whatever they see in the media, parroting these false hoods.
extremely bias views with lack of historical context which are expected from a soldier from the IDF but it was excellent to hear his point of view. Great interview brother!
Well this is a propagandized version from an IDF occupier. That it makes your top ten gives me the heebie-jeebies, this is low tier junk, bottom of the barrel ape assessment outlooks. What the hell else do you listen to? LMFAO
Well done interview. I am amazed at the forthright views of the young IDF soldier. Have to admire his dedication and patriotism to serve in IDF when he could have had a comfortable life in the USA.
Israel wants peace but the other side does not; they want the land that was not theirs to begin with. The other side are united and loud in this regard and they will not stop until Israel is no more. Israel is Dar-ul Harb and they will not stop.
This is the funniest thing ever that people still believe. Just 20 years ago Netanyahu was leaked saying that they never wanted peace and how they should strike Palestinians "Painfully" all under the guise of the US. You can search up the leaked interview on TH-cam aswell.
Israel does not want peace Israel wants Gaza they’ve been terrorizing Palestinians since they came into the area when Britain gave them the land Hamas didn’t exist until Israel started terrorizing and kicking out Palestinians
Mike, this is the best I've seen, honest, true, great questions. You need to have a follow-up with him. I senced you left questions on the table, he has more to offer. This was inspiring! Thanks from a fellow vet.

He is so manipulative that he only talks about selective points.

Mike thanks for the insightful interview with Leibel. Tough times indeed yet good to hear from somebody who has the experience and insight from Israel.
I listened to the entire podcast - a time well spent. Leibel Mangel is an amazing man. So much dedication to serve his ancestral homeland in dangerous conditions despite his cozy life in the USA. Leibel answered all questions in a balanced, sagacious manner despite his sternness, a quality that every soldier must possess for hard decisions. Leibel should start a venture for Personal Development with martial spirit for American men regardless of religious background, as many American men are lost these days and take to drug/alcohol for a relief. I am a Hindu immigrant from India living in the USA. These days, it has become a trend for young Jews to travel to India after their military service. Though some go for peace of mind, many are also going for dirty tourism with liquor and drugs. The bad part needs to be curtailed through counseling ahead. Many head to Himachal Pradesh in India, that is a sacred Hindu area and tourists should desist from engaging in mundane pleasures there. Considering that in the post WW2 era, both Jews and Hindus face existential crisis from Islamic terrorism, the two nations and people should work together in close coordination and also people-to-people contact needs enhanced.
As an Israeli survivor of a terrorist attack in 2016, I have to say the most powerful moments of my life was when the counter-terrorist big guy opened the door of the fridge we were hiding in and told us we were safe. He was huge, scary looking, breathing heavily and I was so happy he was on my side. It took me years to process the experience and I've only started to really deal with it after Oct 7th... God bless our brave soldiers and thank you
Thinking of you and so thankful to God that you are alive and well.

That was very brave of you to volunteer to go anyway! I am impressed that someone would do that. I have only learned about the lone soldier thing since Oct 7th. I hope Israel accomplishes the goals. I am praying for Israel and the leaders and the IDF and the hostages and their families. I hope a miracle happens and they are somehow released without Israel having to give back people in prison who committed terrorist attack and people who actually committed the attacks of Oct 7. That’s absurd Hamas even asked for that. Freedom fighters they are not.

And yea, the idf built a machine that ensures full baby coverage. 😅
So, theres only been one instance of suspected use of phosphorus smoke screens, in Lebanon against Hezbollah. I mean, maybe they were hezbollah babies?
And those accusations come from reports by completely corrupt, morally confused, marxist ideologues at Amnesty and HRW. Both have openly shilled for and pushed pro humas/islamist rhetoric, and both have long been weaponized against Izreal. Alot like UNRWA. These organizations, and many other NGOs and the like, depend on the multi billion dollar palestinin refugee industry as a cash cow. I mean, Amnesty is the same imbecilic organization that claims izreal is an "apartheid"state. Or technically "apartheid like practices", since "Palestinians" are not Izreali citizens, and they have their own elected governments responsible for their rights. No one seems to be screaming for the US to give mexican citizens rights of US citizenship. At the end of the day, these NGOs only continuing existing and raking in the funds if there is conflict. No conflict, or no Isreal, then no major funding for the amnesty oppiortunists, or the human "rights" eye closers. 😅
😂😂 well i guess in the US, they just have to walk across the southern border and then Dems give them anything they want. But yea, point remains. Isreal is definitively not an apartheid state.
So im not sure how much we can actually trust these gaslighting organization. Either way, not one baby "doused", at all. 😊

How I know that the calls for ceasefire are based on antisemitism...
On Christmas Turkey targeted a Kurdish hospital in northern Iraq because they treated Kurdish soldiers who were injured fighting against ISIS.

@@biffdanielson2820 it ebs and flows but hasn't really stopped in over a century
@calebbearup4282 brought upon by the carving up of the former Ottoman Empire after World War 1?
@@biffdanielson2820 well prior to wwi the ottoman empire played different ethnic groups off against each other to coordinate and conduct genocides. At the end of wwi the carving up was supposed to be a means of giving different groups their own safe place to call their home country.
They did a crap job of carving it up though but one thing that the ottoman/Turkey refused to do was loose the areas that were supposed to form Kurdistan and eastern Greece. So Turkey investment went back to war post wwi for a few years to continue fighting against the allies who eventually got so sick of fighting they allowed Turkey to continue controlling those two regions. That's when Turkey solidified control of Constantinople/Istanbul and the Dardanelle Straits and solidified control over the Northwest section of where Kurds lived and called home. Then the state of Turkey started the coordinated systematic methods of doing everything they could to ensure Kurdistan would never become a thing because of their desire to hold onto that area. Which is why they consider any Iraqi Syrian or Iranian Kurds who want autonomy to be terrorists who might spread the idea of autonomy to the parts of Kurdistan that is within turkeys borders.
That's why you see things like Turkey conducting military actions against Iraqi and Syrian Kurds. Because they represent a unified Kurdish area that threatens their argument that the Kurds need to be ruled over by foreign powers and can't govern themselves
You have to be kidding. Because an attack on Kurdish hospital didn’t get enough attention (in your mind,) anyone who calls for a ceasefire hates Jews? Israel has lied at every turn. Like how they’re going out of their way to avoid civilians, meanwhile half of the munitions they’ve dropped are unguided. Or maybe people are calling for a ceasefire because Israel is killing an average of 140 children a day, compared to other conflicts, that number is insane (for example it was an average of 3 a day in Syria, 2 in Afghanistan, and 0.7 in Ukraine.

It is so easy to “know” when you don’t actually know…
78% of Gazans approve of Hamas, this is a very cut and dry conflict. For people to try and justify the Hamas massacre and rape of Israeli women and children is disgusting.
Why put quotes on Freedom Fighters? The Palestinians have the right to resist the zionist brutal occupation
In a Gazan Palestinian survey, 60% of Gazans support the invasion on 10 /7. Up to 75% are not against it. It’s one of their institutional surveys; the rest were just don’t care or and only like 6% work against it. That’s the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth they have a Q ran that says to get rid of all of us-and their neighbors next to them are their number one target always. That’s how they obtained 58 nations by killing us. They have killed over 700 million people and that’s easily obtainable too. There’s a link.🔗
People these days will be outraged without even bothering to watch the entire podcast/interview. They're the ones who get "news" from TH-cam Shorts bcos they have the attention span of a gold fish. Then you also have the ones who expect everything to be in a debate format so that they can claim that the side they support "won" the debate. Mike literally addresses in the first few minutes of the video that this is to understand the POV of an IDF soldier n encourages interested parties from the Palestinian side to reach out n come onboard yet there are so many dimwits crying out that this is a biased n one sided argument.🤦🏻♂️
Maybe because he doesn't show the palestinian perspective so this is unfair and biased. There is no contradiction against the IDF here, Mike is a zionist shill we all know this.

The only apartheid countries in the MENA are the 22 Arab-Islamic totalitarian theocratic states.

Have completely destroyed & debunked the claims of apartheid & oppression in Israel against non-Jews. The blatant hypocrisy & disinformation spread by the UN, and other so-called "human rights" organizations that have literally been caught red-handed taking funding from Islamic terrorist organizations(along with state supporters of Islamic terrorism like Qatar & Iran) and employing LITERAL members of Islamic terrorist organizations have zero credibility. The hypocritical obsession with, and double standards applied to Israel are the product of 2000 years of the all pervasive conditioning of Jew hatred(that is often subconscious)period, end of. "Progressive" college students were just chearing on the Houthis, a sadistically antisemitic, anti-democratic, Islamic terrorist group whose banner has literally read "curse upon the Jews" since it's inception LMAO...! It is the libelous pseudo-historical propaganda narrative disseminated by the likes of HRW, B'tselem, Islamic students unions like SJP, and the Islamic propaganda studies programs all over Universities in America (that have received $30 billion dollars from the terrorist state of Qatar over the last 20 years to do their bidding) that is responsible for the indoctrinated zombies of my generation screaming apartheid, colonialism, white supremacy, ethnic cleansing, and genocide LOL... The entire cause of the conflict are the Islamic imperialist/pan-Arab colonialist aspirations fueled by the psychotically sadistic hatred of Jews that is inherent to the supersessionist, supremacist, totalitarian ideology of Islam. The suffering of the so-called "palestinians" aka Arab colonizers, is the sole product of their own hateful intolerant ideology & leadership. They have never wanted peace, because a peaceful coexistence with Jews, and other non-Muslims, AS EQUALS, is incompatible with their Islamic ideology. Jews have never abused, subjugated, and oppressed by Muslims since the pact of Umar? In 1244 the Islamic Khwarazmiyya colonizers massacred & expelled the Jews from Jerusalem. In 1517 the Islamic colonizer Murad Bey slaughtered thousands of Jews in Jerusalem, Safed, and Hevron. Whole communities of Jews in Eretz-Israel were murdered or exiled to Cyprus in 1576. Jews were murdered, raped & tortured by Muslims during the Jerusalem persecutions from 1623-40. Musta'ravi Jews of the Old Yishuvim were again raped & murdered en masse during the 1660 Tzfat & Tiberias pogroms. Jews were again butchered & exiled from Jerusalem in 1720, along with the destruction of Hurva synagogue by Islamic imperialist colonizers. Jews once again, were murdered & raped en masse during another Hevron pogrom in 1775. Jews were butchered & raped during another Tzfat pogrom in 1799. Haim Farhi was butchered in 1820, and many Jews were enslaved in Eretz-Israel. In 1834 Jews, once again, were raped & butchered en masse in the horrific pogroms perpetrated in Tzfat, Hevron & Jerusalem by the Muslim Ottoman & the Arab fellahin colonizers. R' Avraham Zoref was cut into pieces in 1851 in Jerusalem for the crime of being a Jew. In 1873 Sara Rivlin was raped & butchered like an animal along with her baby by a group of Arab Muslim fellahin colonizer thugs. And, who can forget the 1920 massacres perpetrated by the Salafist psychopath Arab colonizer descended from Muhammad's grandson Hassan Ali(the future LITERAL Nazi that worked for Hitler in Berlin, and planned with Eichmann to bring the final solution to the Jews of the MENA)the Grand Mufti himself, Haj Amin Al-Husseini... or, the 1921 Jaffa, and Ayelet Ha'Shachar Massacres, and the massacres of 1929 in Hevron, Tzfat, Jerusalem, Jaffa, Gaza, Nablus, Ramla, Jenin, Acre, Tel Aviv, Har Tuv, Kfar Uria, Be'er Tuvia, Beit Sh'an, Gedara, Moza, Mishmar Ha'emek, Chulda, Ein Zeitim, Haifa, as well as the 1936 massacres in Jerusalem, Beersheba, Anabta, Jaffa, the Tiberius Massacre of 1938, the Kfar Ha'Shiloach Massacre, the Pkh'in Massacre, the Ruchama Massacre, the Mishmar Ha'karmel Massacre & all other massacres during the 1936-39 Arab riots. Not to mention the 13 centuries of habitual humiliation, the rapes, the beatings, the murders with no legal recourse, the oppression of living without the civil & economic legal rights afforded Muslims, restrictions on employment, the bans on purchasing & owning lands, the bans on praying at the Kotel, the bans on stepping foot upon the temple mount etcetera ad-nauseam that lasted until 1859. Dhimmitude makes the Jim Crow era look preferable by comparison. The first mass genocide of Jews in Europe was perpetrated by the Arab Umayyad colonizers in Grenada(who raped and butchered all 5000 Jews of Grenada in an afternoon)over a thousand years before the Nazis existed. And, the yellow Juden star used by the Nazis... that was inspired by the Pact of Umar, which forced the subordinated second class Jewish dhimmis to wear special clothing (which at times included a yellow Magen David). The self-righteous, ultracrepidarian, dipshits simping for Arab-Islamic colonialist/imperialist terrorists cannot gaslight Mizrahi & Musta'ravi Jews. Over 1 million ethnic Arabs migrated to Eretz-Israel from 1820-1942. Half a million Arabs arrived between 1930-1942 alone, and that doesn't even include the illegal immigration. Ottoman & British census, immigration, and tax records are incontrovertible. Barely 10% of the people calling themselves "Palestinians" are descended from pre-colonial indigenous Jews or Samaritans. Not to mention the genetic data that proves Arabs & Levantines have distinct genetic origins(Google is your friend). Piedong Shen's genetic research conclusively proves that the Samaritans, which have been living in Eretz-Israel for the last 4000+ years, are FAR more genetically similar to Mizrahi & Musta'ravi Jews(which comprise 70% of Israeli Jews)than they are to the predominantly ethnic Arab "Palestinians". Jews were speaking of their indigeneity to the land of Israel in the 1940's, back when the Arabs now calling themselves "Palestinians" were still self-identifying as either Qays or Yamans (aka from the Arab tribes of Arabia or the Arab tribes of Yemen) as they had since the Islamic invasion. And, certain remnants of the oppression of dhimmitude have never even ended, as Jews are STILL restricted by the Waqf from praying atop THEIR OWN TEMPLE MOUNT lol. Muslims call Jews praying on their own JEWISH Temple mount (the most holy site in Judaism, which wouldn't even be holy for Muslims if not for Jews) a "provocation" LOL. When Muslims can tolerate Jews praying atop their own Jewish Temple mount, and can tolerate Jews rebuilding their Temple atop their own Temple mount, then that would be a sign that Muslims are actually ready to co-exist peacefully as equals. This will probably never happen though, as Islamic fundamentalists like the Salafists(which btw 77% of Christians in Judea & Samaria{aka "the west bank" as it was re-named in 1967}consider an existential threat to their continued existence) mandate the subordination of Jews, and believe Jews are destined for annihilation during their genocidal wet dream fantasy, which Muhammad prophesized, and they call the "day of judgement". They believe... "The Day of Judgement will come, when the Muslims will crush the Jews completely: And when every tree behind which a Jew hides will say: 'There is a Jew behind me, Kill him!" This is why at all the pro-HAMAS rallies they're always chanting "Khaybar Khaybar ya yehud!" & "Beware Jews, Muhammad's army is sure to return! Plant your Gharqad trees Jews!"... These chants are to remind Jews how Muhammad beheaded all 800 men & boys of the Banu Qurayza, and took the women & girls as "concubines" aka sex slaves. These chants are to remind Jews how Muhammad's army committed a genocide against the Jews at Khaybar, and when Muhammad returns on the "Day of Judgement" they will finish the job as Muhammad prophesized. Did you know that the Quran, which calls Jews "the lowliest of creatures" states that Jews are made to pay the Jizya as a reminder that they have been "subdued & humiliated"...? And, the braindead people think "Zionism is a supremacist ideology" lol.
@@mahamedjmal2536 I'm going to spare you the details of the several hundred historically recorded instances of Mizrachi Jews being massacred, raped, expelled, and dispossessed of their property throughout 1300+ years of oppressive Islamic rule in the rest of the MENA as I don't feel like writing for the next two hours. It suffices to say that whole communities of Jews were genocided by Arab-Islamic colonialists in the MENA on dozens of occasions. In fact, as mentioned previously, the habitual genocides of Jews at the hands of Muslims started when Muhammad himself singlehandedly beheaded all 800 of the Banu Qurayza men & boys with a single pubic hair, and took the women & girls as sex slaves. Did you know there are four separate suras in the Quran which detail how to properly rape one's sex slaves? As Muhammad states in the Quran, a Muslim man should not rape Muslim women, however if your sex slaves convert to Islam, you should treat them more favorably, but they're still ok rape, as Allah is A-ok with it. Did you know Muhammad took Rayhānah bint Zayd, a Jewish women of the Banu Nadir as his "wife" by force, and began raping her the same day he beheaded her husband? Muhammad did the same to his Jewish "wife" Safiyya bint Huyayy, raping her on the same day he had tortured her husband Kenana with a hot iron poker, before beheading him as well. That was the famed Khaybar genocide the "Palestinians" are always chanting about. Khaybar Khaybar ya yehud! Remember Khaybar Jew! The Army of Muhammad is sure to return Jew! Plant your Gharqad trees Jew! Did you know that Constantin Zureiq the Pan-Arab nationalist & historian that coined the term "Nakba" for the events of 1948 described in his 1948 book 'The Meaning of Disaster' that the failure of the Arabs to displace the Jews was THE "Nakba"...? Zureiq's "catastrophe" was simply... "Seven Arab states declare war on Zionism, stop impotent before it & return on their heels." Zureiq lamented that "dispersion has become the lot of the Arabs (not "palestinians") rather than of the Jews" and he wrote that "We must admit OUR mistakes, and recognize the extent of OUR RESPONSIBILITY for the CATASTROPHE ("Nakba") that is OUR lot." Zureiq even stated his fear that Arabs (not "Palestinians")} might be "forced to return to their homes to live under the Zionist shadow". Zureiq defined the "Nakba" as a catastrophe of Arab failure to eliminate the Jews, not a catastrophe of (imaginary) Zionist ethnic cleansing. Zureiq described the main problem of Arab (not "Palestinian") civilization as a lack of RATIONALISM, calling it the "prerequisite that encompassed all other prerequisites" needed to create a modern Arab (not "Palestinian") society of the future. Zureiq believed that the "cultural backwardness" pervasive among Arabs, posed a grave threat to the dream of a modern secular Arab society. Zureiq believed that "secular & rational thinking is the only way to realize an Arab society of higher civilization that looks toward, and builds for the future". Zureiq wrote that "The reason for the victory of the Zionists is that the roots of Zionism are grounded in modern Western life, while we for the most part are still distant from this life & hostile to it. They live in the present & for the future, while we continue to dream the dreams of the past & to stupefy ourselves with its fading glory". Zureiq also presents his notion of a "revolution of reason" where he makes a plea for Pan-Arab unity based on a "secular democracy in which diverse individuals & communities can fulfill themselves in a framework of tolerance & mutual respect". The post 1950's Nakba narrative is a fabrication. The few villages that were forced to vacate, suffered so as a result of a military necessity created SOLELY by the Arab fellahin massacres, followed by the Arab League's war of attempted genocide that the Arabs, and Arabs alone started. As soon as the final '47 UN partition decision was declared in November, the Arab fellahin began waging atrocities against Jews. As Mahmoud Abbas wrote, when he was, but still a junior PLO Executive Committee member, in his essay "Madha `Alamna wa-Madha Yajib An Na`mal" [What We Have Learned and What We Should Do] published in "Falastineth Thawra" [Revolutionary Palestine], the official journal of the PLO, Beirut, on March 26, 1976: "The ARAB ARMIES entered Palestine to protect the Palestinians from the Zionist tyranny but, INSTEAD, they abandoned them, FORCED THEM TO EMIGRATE, AND TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES, and threw them into prisons similar to the ghettos in which the Jews used to live in Eastern Europe, as if we were condemned to change places with them: they moved out of their ghettos and we occupied similar ones. The Arab States succeeded in scattering the Palestinian people and in destroying their unity."
And, as Prime Minister of Syria Khalid al-Azm stated in his 1972 memoirs:
"Since 1948 it is we who demanded the return of the refugees while it is we who made them leave. We brought disaster upon Arab refugees, by inviting them, and bringing pressure to bear upon them to leave. We have rendered them dispossessed. We have accustomed them to begging. We have participated in lowering their moral and social level. Then we exploited them in executing crimes of murder, arson, and throwing bombs upon men, women and children - all this in the service of political purposes."
Arabs fled because they were afraid. They had been so demoralized by the radio propaganda of the Arab League that they left. Arabs in Eretz-Israel believed the Arab League's radio propaganda of fabricated "Zionist massacres" because they couldn't believe that Jews wouldn't want vengeance for the horrors they had perpetrated against the Jews. The 120,000 Arabs that didn't believe the Arab League's propaganda stayed, and their descendants now number over 2 million living in Israel as Israeli citizens. Most of the Arabs that fled had only immigrated to the mandate in the previous few decades. In fact, the percentage of Arabs that immigrated between 1900-1947, was nearly identical to percentage of Jews that immigrated in the same period. As I stated before, from 1930-1942 alone 500,000 non-levantine foreign Arabs immigrated to the mandate, and that figure doesn't even include the illegal Arab immigration. As shown in the British Survey of 1946, those that would come to be regarded as "Palestinians" privately owned a grand total of 16.9% of the mandate, and those that would come to be Israelis privately owned 12.7%. The other approximately 70% was public land which during the preceding 400 years of Ottoman rule, was public land belonging to the Sultan, before it was legally vested to the mandate authority. Literally, 70% of the land compromising the state of Israel was throughout the entire 400 years of Ottoman rule (and even prior to that), either 'Arazi Mirie' lands which were state owned lands that belonged the Ottoman sultan, 'Arazi Metruke' lands which were public lands, or 'Arazi Mevat' which were lands that nobody had legally claimed ownership over as it they had been subsequently neglected, and remained uncultivated. Approximately half of Israel was comprised of the Negev desert which was 98% Arazi Mevat land. Jews drained the malarial swamps on the coastal plains, and damned the Jordan river to electrify the land, and it's all documented by countless historiographical documents. Tel-Aviv was uninhabited malarial swamps & desert in 1907 LOL. Ramallah is LITERALLY the only city founded by Arabs in the ENTIRETY of the Eretz-Israel. And, remember, a grand total of 78% of the entire mandate went to the foreign Arab Hashemites from the Hijaz, in violation (as admitted by the British) of the original LON decree, for the creation of the state of Jordan. The Hashemites received the land ("Eastern Palestine") initially earmarked for the "Arab Palestinian state" by the LON mandate as they were "evicted" by the Al-Sauds. And, as per the original LON partition decree what was known as "western palestine" comprising all of modern day Israel, as well as Azza, and Judea/Samaria was to become the "Jewish Palestinian state" aka Israel. Instead the UN offered the Jews 55% of the land initially partitioned for the Jewish state(comprising a whopping 13% of the mandate), but that was 55% too much for the Arab League Nazis. There could have been peace, but the Arab Higher Committee, the Supreme Muslim Council, and the Arab League destroyed such a possibility with their pan-Arab Islamic imperialist aspirations. Emir Faisal representing the Arab League & Chaim Weizmann LITERALLY had a fucking peace treaty signed which granted all of modern day Israel including all of Judea/Samaria, and Azza to the Jewish state, but thanks to the French in 1920 demanding they be granted a mandate authority of their own at the San Remo conference, were granted the mandate for Syria, that led to the Franco-Syrian War, and on July 24th 1920, the French won, and Emir Faisal was expelled from Syria, and the conditions appended in the Faisal-Weizmann treaty were void. Gertrude Bell, and Lawrence of Arabia both accused the French, along with their British enablers, of betraying Faisal, Weizmann, and the Pan-Arab cause by rendering the treaty invalid.
Amazing podcast where truth is spoken without any caviats. As an Indian I can 1000% relate to what Israel is going through with radical terroristic Islam (not to be confused with peaceful muslims). Our country has been fighting this scourge of radical Islam for 75 years since Independence and a 1000 years prior. Israel is a beacon of hope and democracy. God speed to the Israelis and the IDF.
🙏🙏🙏🇮🇱🇮🇱
From my experience the “peaceful” Muslims are supportive of Hamas, just not actively participating. All I’ve seen is them encourage violence then cry foul when somebody fights back..
Yo dude quit insulting Islam blatantly and get over this terrorist propaganda... you people are still probably on about with that whole weapons of mass destruction nonsense
You a native Indian for real??? And you support Israel slaughtering of palestiniens? Wow

Why the hell would an American born citizen serve in an occupation army that does nothing but opress the Palestinian people in the West Bank (terrorist). He is so manipulative that he only talks about selective points. He conveniently forgot to mention the 50+ years of occupation, the apartheid system, the 16 years of besieging Gaza and recently cutting off water, electricity, food, and medicine to 2n4 million people. Israel is a terrorist state and this guy is a great example of the brutality of the idf terror army. Listen to Norman Finkelstein for a true perspective.
Objective, fact-based, intelligent discussion. The emotional and political spin that has been put on this conflict has unfortunately resulted in a very unrealistic understanding of it by so many people-it is actually crazy. Thank you both for this straightforward, realistic conversation on the war.
lmao this was literally ALL emotion-based. dude is talking about 'hamas infrastructure in the west bank' and glover is talking about 'i think the surgical strikes are working' - not fact based at all.. unless by 'surgical' you mean dropping 2000lb JDAMs on a hospital and hitting people actually undergoing surgery.. in that case they are 'surgical' strikes i suppose
What war isn't full of emotional and political "spin"? Iraq was a political decision based upon lies with a full blown propaganda campaign. This Gaza bombardment has the perfect excuse to level it and attempt an ethnic cleansing. How do you remove all of that from the conversation?
We have heard a few voices from Gaza speak their mind. One old lady blamed Hamas for the deaths and for stealing the aid. Her mouth was literally gagged by the hand of a man.
In another case an old lady was speaking in a similar manner to an Al Jazeera reporter. The young men around her looked shell shocked to hear these words said out loud in public. The nervous reporter them summerised her words as " so the situation is uncertain".
Palestinians do not have freedom of speech. They are obliged to follow "The Narrative" whether they believe it or not. Censorship is mostly self censorship. It is very rare for opposing voices to be heard. The UN schools teach it the NGOs fund it, the media follow it.
When Arabs hear and see the disputation and public argument within Israel, they do not see a free people speaking their mind, they see a society where leadership has lost control of the people.
Lol you would be a collaborator if the Chinese occupied the United States and put you in refugee camps.
Interesting! They are dumb by dumbing. So true! We've lost two generations two dumbing down! Palestine has lost every generation! ........ shame! There's still only one way!
The audacity to say Palestinians are "following the narrative" when you are literally repeating Israeli propaganda talking points 😂 Dont let your hate for muslims blind you from the blatant atrocities being committed by the IDF in 4K HD.
Zero truth to this.
They elected and put hamas in power. There are no innocents in gaza.
Leibel seems like a great, common sense guy. He’s right, we must be seeking for peace.😊
Wtf? Do you really think Hamas wants peace? Cut the bullshit.
Israeli knows nothing about peace , since 1917 they only beilve in one state which is only for jews zionst
@@adamcuneo7189 20 years ago a private conversation of Netanyahu was leaked, he described how Israel aim's to strike Palestinians (Not Hamas) "Painfully" serveral times and how he decieved the US to destory the Oslo accords. Israel never wanted peace, they occupied the land, massacred the people and then conive with the west to find ways to justify their actions and trick you people like you.
In a Gazan Palestinian survey, 60% of Gazans support the invasion on 10 /7. Up to 75% are not against it. It’s one of their institutional surveys; the rest were just don’t care or and only like 6% work against it. That’s the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth they have a Q ran that says to get rid of all of us-and their neighbors next to them are their number one target always. That’s how they obtained 58 nations by killing us. They have killed over 700 million people and that’s easily obtainable too. There’s a link.🔗
You seek for Peace move and be their neighbor like all the people they just killed. They actually had them working for them and that’s how they obtained the information on where their safe houses were and how many people were in the kaboots and everything else so you go do it. you go in the middle of the jungle and live with the savages OK 👌🏻 People Put the rest of us at risk because of your dreams of peace ✌️ q ran says to get rid of all of us. If you can’t be honest about that, then you have a spine and a backbone problem that kills people.
Thanks for having him on
Thank you for a great podcast. Good questioning and excellent discussion from a person who has walked the walk and experienced this hate. The listener benefited from both of your experiences and wisdom.

Dear Mike, I'll give you just 4 facts.
First:
In one hour I will participate in an IPSC training session in the range located in the central town of Israel.
We are 12 shooters.
Two of us are Israeli Arabs.
Second:
There are dozens of Arab members in the Club. Actually the percentage is much higher as opposed to an average 20% of total Israel population.
Third:
All of them are asking not to post photos of me and them together on social media.
4: Many arab club members have EDC license and they do actualy carry everyday.
Respect for your work.

He's absolutely right, people are radicalized to fight, not educated to build businesses and improve economy. This is a big problem in that culture seen throughout the world and not just in this particular conflict. The same is seen in Iran, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and so on. Breeding hatred and violence does not, and cannot produce peace and prosperity.
Wow, people stealing their ancestral land, parking them in a concentration camp and cutting basic necessities like water and food makes them wanna fight ? pretty crazy huh ? I agree with you, they should buy bitcoins and attend online business classes instead.
Yeah, what awful people to react to US/UK/Israeli war

i mean this question should be asked .. nah must be asked to the european gangs which came to the freakin land
hamas would not exist if occupation was not lol
It's difficult to build a business when Israelis build illegal settlements to steal your property or have an embargo on your land as a reaction to you attacking those who steal your property.
Thank you Milke!God Bless you.We stand with Israel!
Former Lone Soldier here, thanks for having an IDF veteran on, he did a great job, communicating clearly and articulately. Good job man!
great interview, need to bring more IDF soldiers in the podcast to share their experience.
You can only really understand if you have been to Israel. I love the country and the people and I know about their attitude towards life. And I will come back.🇮🇱❤️🇩🇪✡️
Amazing interview. Thank you for doing this! As a Jew with family and friends in the IDF, and one degree away from personal loss from October 7th, I deeply appreciate you being open to having these discussions. Thank you again!
No Profit In Peace ...There is billions of dollars of international aid for Arab Palestinians is missing or unaccounted for, Hamas’ three top leaders alone are worth a stunning $11 billion, enjoying a life of luxury in the sanctuary of Qatar. Hamas runs an “office” in Qatar’s capital, Doha, and leaders Ismail Haniyeh, Mousa Abu Marzook, and Khaled Mashal maintain an opulent lifestyle that Western jet-setters would envy. Qatar provides Hamas with between $120 million and $480 million per year, according to the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD). “These funds benefit Hamas leaders directly through payroll and kickback schemes and indirectly through social services and government operations that help Hamas maintain political control over Gaza,” according to its October report.
Exactly
This is so much more real and powerful than pretty much anything that’s come from mainstream media on this topic
Former IDF lone soldier here. Just to clarify: You do NOT choose where you go in the IDF. You have the option to select infantry and then go to optional selections from there, if you don’t pass you stay in conventional infantry, which does not require a selection but merely a good health profile and sanity.
As a former IDF soldier, what's your opinion on the intentions of Israeli government in Gaza. From what I see they are destroying everything in Gaza as a punishment to turn on Hamas. Lots of civillian casualties and infrastructure destroyed.
Even though Hamas hides under a lot of buildings, the level of destruction looks huge to me.
Correct.
Another fake Israeli
Where u from Poland or Colorado ?
God bless you IDF soldier. I'm a Canadian, and as I posted in another thread, I pray for Israel and the IDF daily ever since Oct 7.
By far one of the best in-depth, eye-opening interviews and perspectives I have seen on the conflict, what happened, and the different perspectives from an insider. Far beyond any big network coverage I have seen. Great job!
As an American I wouldn't jump on a plane and go serve in the military of another Country??? WTF. Imagine a Chinese guy going to fight for China when called upon. We'd call that guy a traitor... He should have stayed in HIS country why is he back here,? Propaganda? The war is still full flight. Netanyahu and gang had the attack plan in hand for a year which is exactly what was carried out and Israel is a genocidal apartheid state called so by many human rights organizations including those in Israel. This guy needs to listen to Noam Chomsky and Dr Norman Finkelstein as these are the descendants of parents in the Holocaust. Most Israeli get a snippet of news about the Palestinians rather it's all about how brave their soldiers are, pictures of Zionist troops in the battle zone basically a very hygienic reality three and four times removed from reality. The Palestinian perspective watch Owen Jones. Israel is playing the victim as always. The original videos of babies and women rape and beheaded turned out fake and you can't find them anywhere anymore.😂.
Are you all bots on here? I mean seriously? Have we just watched the same interview? Because I see a bigot justifying killing innocent civilians because he's been brainwashed by the most disgusting system of apartheid the world has ever seen
Far from in depth. One sided absolutely 💯.
@@GezimGjonbalajwhat else would you exspect, from Israeli and US ex. army guy. Same would be from Arab side.
max blumenthal from the greyzone would be a great guest. He can inform you more about the craziness of October 7th.
I am an Israeli. You should also understand that since Israel is a small country and military service is mandatory, this means that I also served in the army, as did my father, my older brothers, and even my nephews (yes, I'm old). Here, in the State of Israel, life stopped on October 7th. The whole country has been mourning our dead since October 7th. The whole country mourns every soldier killed in the war in Gaza. The whole country worries for all the hostages and prays for their return home. The whole country is mobilizing to help the families of the hostages. It is mobilizing to help 150,000 citizens who were displaced from their homes on the border of Gaza and Lebanon. In Israel, time has stood still.

And just think if they didn't have the iron dome??

kind of makes you think why they don't just go back home to europe ?
There is no controversy for me I fought in the GWOT and seen how evil and ruthless these terrorist/ insurgents really are and a lot of people just don’t know or understand the threat they possess
I’m Polish and my mom’s family really had it tough on Christmas Eve 1939 I might have the year wrong but they where put on a train by the Germans shipped to Germany to work a farm for there troops and my Opa was forced to fight for the German army. What they did at the end was one hell of a story I couldn’t fit it in one comment but they had to escape from the Russians coming . My Opa when he was forced into the military the Germans tattooed a bar code number on him and before they made there escape to the Americans he burned it off with acid he didn’t want that with him the rest of his life . He was tough as nails and that’s where I get my bald head from haha
And who are the terrorsits? gaza is a concentration camp blockaded by the Israelis..they control how much food, water, electricity you can have.
The GWOT is a farce
This was awesome! We need so many more interviews like this on main stream tv. Share share share. Why can people not see the sense which is being spoken here. Who in there right mind believes a terrorist group over everyday soldiers and civilians telling their story! Yet they still do not believe Oct 7 happened the way it did. I’m so angry it’s not funny. The frustration I feel is horrible, I can not imagine how Israelis are feeling right now. ❤ bless you all.
to be honest we are overwheled with grief and depressed we thought the US will be much more supportive then the intial stages of this war now we just hear you leaders mumbles and throwing empty words about peace and ceafire when we all know ceafire is cannot be an option and talking about tit its another insult to our victims. The only light we had now is how much united we are after all of this heppened.
but overall the hypocricy of united nations and our overwhalming efforts to justify our pretty obius right to cinduct this war is beyong mindblowing ' and how easy is for the pro-hamas side to affact minds in america is a scary thing

Hey Mike I just found you you’re one of the most legit interviewers on Any podcast. I’ll be watching a lot more your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing and God bless America. God bless our military!
Great, great interview! I still hear the hurt and pain in his voice when talking about the tragic day. You can't fake that funk.
Praying for the families and the IDF soldiers.
This is the same comment I will make in each video until this is over.:
I am always praying for you Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem: Psalm 122:6 “May they prosper who love you. 7May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.” 🇮🇱
There will be peace when the Prince of Peace comes.
Isaiah 9:6-7 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Solid interview Mike… Truth was spoken
Pure truth my brother.
What an insightful podcast, Mike! You did the very thing I was hoping for…you invited an IDF (former) soldier on to your show to share his first hand perspective! Keep up the great work and good luck with the stem cell procedure!
Is is also what people don't know: the Palestinians are largely Arabs running from conflict-- like those who manage to escape Assad. And they have come from or thru other nations and have had disastrous effects on everyone who tried to help them. The Jordanian king won't have them because they killed his father. Egypt won't have them because of the chaos they caused. The Egyptian president was the general who had to put them down. Everywhere they've gone they've sown chaos and massacres.
I remember the three boys, it broke my heart… it’s the same way i feel when i see the beautiful young boys and girls in the IDF setting out for Gaza… it shouldn’t be necessary and it wouldn’t be if radical islam weren’t the modus operandi of hamas… It’s hard for westerners to understand the level of hate that Gazsns have for the jews… they’re propagandised from such as early age… Kudos to this young man ! Am Israel Chai !🇮🇱🇬🇧
Gr8 discussion with Leib, insightful and thoughtful from both of you Mike.
Hey Mike thank you for the video clip. I did 13 years in the US military, 2 years Marines(Nam) and 9 years SF. Had thought about serving with the Israeli Military, but I guess I can file that under all talk. As a suggestion, maybe you could contact Mosab Hassan Yousef, the Green Prince and son of the founder of Hamas for another exciting interview. He has spoken to the UN and many other websites to give
a clearer picture about what Hamas is really all about and how to effectively combat them, he is fighting on our side. Just a suggestion. Regards, Denis Berte' 1st Group 18E, SFC(Ret)
Nah a person of "your age " for 1 would not be commenting like this. especially since you are portraying that you are some sort of special Forces soldier. Speaking to Mike a actual green beret with CIA experience. As if he doesnt know what he could do if he wanted to. However he is not no secret spy just helping others. You just sound like the ultimate fraud.
Great Interview Mike!!! Happy New Year to you!!! Love the podcasts and info....
God bless you sir and amen to your service and all you said.
“From the river to the sea…” this saying must be appropriated from Deuteronomy 11:24:
“”Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be your's: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.“
Deuteronomy 11:24 KJV
From the river to the sea shall YOUR coast be (Israel). I haven’t seen anybody make this connection I’ve googled it and it’s nowhere, so if knowingly they twisted it or unknowingly it’s gotta be the devil perverting God’s word for Hamas….. has anybody noticed this?
Awesome and very informative interview! Thank you Mike for speaking up about the reality that Israel must defend itself!
How can you say "defending itself" when year after year Israel has taken land away from Palestinians. You are a fool and Im sure pointing this out to you means nothing
Great interview really made me appreciated how things are in Israel.
Thanks for the interview. Sending love and support to all Israelis from Perth, Australia.
Great interview!
Im a South African and Jesus this video gave me chills on how accurate the situation is confirmed by an American Jew. I lost family members in our secret South African bush war against the terrorist communists. Bombing a Wimpy(Fast Food Place) in Benoni, the town I was born. I remember my grade 2 teacher having a .357 revolver on her hip holster giving us classes during terrorists threats. Different time different saga but I can relate. Thanks Mike and Leibel! PS.

Fight in the way of Allah1 against those who fight against you but do not transgress2 for Allah does not love transgressors. (Al-Baqarah 190)
Footnote :
1. The believers are asked to fight those who hindered their efforts in the cause of God, and acted with hostility towards them merely because they sought to fashion human life according to the revealed guidance of God. Earlier, when they were weak and scattered, the Muslims were asked merely to preach and be patient with the wrongful repression meted out to them by their opponents. However, now that a small city state had been established in Madina they were commanded for the first time to unsheathe their swords against those who had resorted to armed hostility against their movement of reform. It was some time after this injunction that the Battle of Badr took place, to be followed by several other battles.
2. The believers are told that material interests should not be the motivation for their fighting, that they should not take up arms against those who were not in opposition to the true faith, that they should not resort to unscrupulous methods or to the indiscriminate killing and pillage which characterized the wars of the pre-Islamic era, the Age of Ignorance. The excesses alluded to in this verse are acts such as taking up arms against women and children, the old and the injured, mutilation of the dead bodies of the enemy, uncalled-for devastation through the destruction of fields and livestock, and other similar acts of injustice and brutality. In the Hadith all these acts have been prohibited. The real intent of the verse is to stress that force should be used only when its use is unavoidable, and only to the extent that is absolutely necessary.
(214. Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, "When (will come) the help of Allah'' Yes! Certainly, the help of Allah is near!)
Victory only comes after succeeding in the Trials
Allah said:
أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُواْ الْجَنَّةَ
(Or think you that you will enter Paradise) before you are tested and tried just like the nations that came before you This is why Allah said:
وَلَمَّا يَأْتِكُم مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ خَلَوْاْ مِن قَبْلِكُم مَّسَّتْهُمُ الْبَأْسَآءُ وَالضَّرَّآءُ
(...without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments) meaning, illnesses, pain, disasters and hardships. Ibn Mas`ud, Ibn `Abbas, Abu Al-`Aliyah, Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Murrah Al-Hamdani, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak, Ar-Rabi`, As-Suddi and Muqatil bin Hayyan said that
(Al-Ba'sa') means poverty. Ibn `Abbas said that
(...and Ad-Darra') means ailments.
(and were so shaken) for fear of the enemy, and were tested, and put to a tremendous trial. An authentic Hadith narrated that Khabbab bin Al-Aratt said, "We said, `O Messenger of Allah! Why do you not invoke Allah to support us Why do you not supplicate to Allah for us' He said:
«إِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ يُوضَعُ الْمِنْشَارُ عَلى مَفْرَقِ رَأْسِهِ فَيَخْلُصُ إِلى قَدَمَيْهِ لَا يَصْرِفُهُ ذَلِكَ عَنْ دِينِهِ، وَيُمْشَطُ بِأَمْشَاطِ الْحَدِيدِ مَا بَيْنَ لَحْمِهِ وَعَظْمِهِ، لَا يَصْرِفُهُ ذلِكَ عَنْ دِينِه».
(The saw would be placed on the middle of the head of one of those who were before you (believers) and he would be sawn until his feet, and he would be combed with iron combs between his skin and bones, yet that would not make him change his religion.) He then said:
«وَاللهِ لَيُتِمَّنَّ اللهُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ حَتَّى يَسِيرَ الرَّاكِبُ مِنْ صَنْعَاءَ إلى حَضْرَمَوْتَ، لَا يَخَافُ إِلَّا اللهَ وَالذِّئْبَ عَلى غَنَمِهِ، وَلَكِنَّــكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَسْتَعْجِلُون»
(By Allah! This matter (religion) will spread (or expand) by Allah until the traveler leaves San`a' to Hadramawt (both in Yemen, but at a great distance from each other) fearing only Allah and then the wolf for the sake of his sheep. You are just a hasty people.) And Allah said:
الم - ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهِ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ - الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلوةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
(Alif-Lam-Mim. Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe,'' and will not be tested And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allah will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars.) (29:1-3) The Companions experienced tremendous trials during the battle of Al-Ahzab (the Confederates). Allah said:
إِذْ جَآءُوكُمْ مِّن فَوْقِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُمْ وَإِذْ زَاغَتِ الاٌّبْصَـرُ وَبَلَغَتِ الْقُلُوبُ الْحَنَاجِرَ وَتَظُنُّونَ بِاللَّهِ الظُّنُونَاْ - هُنَالِكَ ابْتُلِىَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَزُلْزِلُواْ زِلْزَالاً شَدِيداً - وَإِذْ يَقُولُ الْمُنَـفِقُونَ وَالَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ مَّا وَعَدَنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ إِلاَّ غُرُوراً
(When they came upon you from above you and from below you, and when the eyes grew wild and the hearts reached to the throats, and you were harboring doubts about Allah. There, the believers were tried and shaken with a mighty shaking. And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease (of doubts) said: "Allah and His Messenger promised us nothing but delusion!'') (33:10-12) When Heraclius asked Abu Sufyan, "Did you fight him (Prophet Muhammad)'' He said, "Yes.'' Heraclius said, "What was the outcome of warfare between you'' Abu Sufyan said, "Sometimes we lose and sometimes he loses.'' He said, "Such is the case with Prophets, they are tested, but the final victory is theirs.'' Allah's statement:
مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ خَلَوْاْ مِن قَبْلِكُم
(...without (such) (trials) as came to those who passed away before you) meaning, their way of life. Similarly, Allah said:
فَأَهْلَكْنَآ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُم بَطْشاً وَمَضَى مَثَلُ الاٌّوَّلِينَ
(Then We destroyed men stronger (in power) than these ـ and the example of the ancients has passed away (before them)) (43: 8) and:
وَزُلْزِلُواْ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُ مَتَى نَصْرُ اللَّهِ
(...were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, "When (will come) the help of Allah.'') They pleaded (to Allah) for victory against their enemies and invoked Him for aid and deliverance from their hardships and trials. Allah said:
أَلاَ إِنَّ نَصْرَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ
(Yes! Certainly, the help of Allah is near!) Allah said:
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْراً - إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْراً
(Verily, along with every hardship is relief. Verily, along with every hardship is relief.) (94:5, 6) So just as there is hardship, its equal of relief will soon arrive. This is why Allah said:
أَلاَ إِنَّ نَصْرَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ
(Yes! Certainly, the help of Allah is near!)
Thank you for sharing this story. More people need to understand what the actual situation is. I don’t think it’s difficult to know what’s right. The IDF is fighting for justice, freedom and peace. If you look simply at one side, targeting civilians and celebrating the fact that civilians are dying, and one side, doing everything they can to prevent civilian death, even on the “enemy”, the answer is clear. People need to be more informed about this situation, rather than just believing, whatever they see in the media, parroting these false hoods.
Very impact full well done and needs to be passed on to everyone I know!
Why is this video actually shadow banned?? I had to look up the exact title and name of the channel and it still wasn’t the first video
Don’t talk pish
The best interview and guest I have seen on the multi-faceted issues from the Middle east Israeli and Palestinian conflict.
powerful mike glover, I rarely leave comments but this is a must watch.
extremely bias views with lack of historical context which are expected from a soldier from the IDF but it was excellent to hear his point of view. Great interview brother!
He just said you can contact him so he can also hear the Palestine side, must you be an asshole
I’ve heard hundreds of discussions on line and this is in the top ten.
Well this is a propagandized version from an IDF occupier. That it makes your top ten gives me the heebie-jeebies, this is low tier junk, bottom of the barrel ape assessment outlooks. What the hell else do you listen to? LMFAO
Thanks Mike for hosting this guy, also a former lone soldier here.
Well done interview. I am amazed at the forthright views of the young IDF soldier. Have to admire his dedication and patriotism to serve in IDF when he could have had a comfortable life in the USA.
New to your podcast.....good stuff.your a good interviewer.
Israel wants peace but the other side does not; they want the land that was not theirs to begin with. The other side are united and loud in this regard and they will not stop until Israel is no more. Israel is Dar-ul Harb and they will not stop.
They MAY want peace but the way there going about there operation could be the end of them.
This is the funniest thing ever that people still believe. Just 20 years ago Netanyahu was leaked saying that they never wanted peace and how they should strike Palestinians "Painfully" all under the guise of the US. You can search up the leaked interview on TH-cam aswell.
Israel does not want peace Israel wants Gaza they’ve been terrorizing Palestinians since they came into the area when Britain gave them the land Hamas didn’t exist until Israel started terrorizing and kicking out Palestinians
You’re insane
@@samadhe8048 You're ignorant
Wow that hits hard. The most authentic telling I've heard. Thanks guys
Fantastic interview so educational and eye opening. Israel has every right to protect itself and its survival as a nation.
Phenomenal interview, excellent questions Mike and outstanding and insightful responses Liebel. Very grateful from Australia. 🙏
Mike, this is the best I've seen, honest, true, great questions. You need to have a follow-up with him. I senced you left questions on the table, he has more to offer. This was inspiring! Thanks from a fellow vet.
Right on, Mike. Loved the video.
Why the hell would an American born citizen serve in an occupation army that does nothing but opress the Palestinian people in the West Bank (terrorist). He is so manipulative that he only talks about selective points. He conveniently forgot to mention the 50+ years of occupation, the apartheid system, the 16 years of besieging Gaza and recently cutting off water, electricity, food, and medicine to 2n4 million people. Israel is a terrorist state and this guy is a great example of the brutality of the idf terror army. Listen to Norman Finkelstein for a true perspective.
This message needs to be spread far and wide, such a voice of reason and reality❤
Mike thanks for the insightful interview with Leibel. Tough times indeed yet good to hear from somebody who has the experience and insight from Israel.
I listened to the entire podcast - a time well spent. Leibel Mangel is an amazing man. So much dedication to serve his ancestral homeland in dangerous conditions despite his cozy life in the USA. Leibel answered all questions in a balanced, sagacious manner despite his sternness, a quality that every soldier must possess for hard decisions.
Leibel should start a venture for Personal Development with martial spirit for American men regardless of religious background, as many American men are lost these days and take to drug/alcohol for a relief.
I am a Hindu immigrant from India living in the USA. These days, it has become a trend for young Jews to travel to India after their military service. Though some go for peace of mind, many are also going for dirty tourism with liquor and drugs. The bad part needs to be curtailed through counseling ahead. Many head to Himachal Pradesh in India, that is a sacred Hindu area and tourists should desist from engaging in mundane pleasures there.
Considering that in the post WW2 era, both Jews and Hindus face existential crisis from Islamic terrorism, the two nations and people should work together in close coordination and also people-to-people contact needs enhanced.
