#Israel #Hamas #Netanyahu
Who are we to instruct Israel in warfare. We lost in Afghanistan. We blundered 9/11... And we attacked Iraq who was not complicit in the 9/11 Saudi influenced attack. Who are we to advise any country in warfare.
Ciia and isr@eli M0ssad did 9/ll.
Exactly when I hear any expert American comparing their own wars from Vietnam to Afghanistan
I thing how dumb they are
Beside the fact that they all ended up in massive fail
Beside all are called war in what Israel's war on its borders is similar to American sending soldiers thousands of miles away
We subsidize Israel's military and economy. We get to dictate what is done with our money.
This is a great point. Like we're some kind of experts in doing war perfectly? Yep. Excellent point. It's just having the money and the arms to ship gives us some kind of superiority BS.
Technically we did not lose in Afghanistan or Iraq. Both objectives were achieved and those invasions were incredibly successful, the problem was the mission became ambiguous and changed afterwards in occupation. By the time we left Afghanistan I don't think there was an objective we were just kind of there. The problem is we thought we could turn those countries into democracies after doing what we had to. Which is fine for places like Japan, Germany, and South Korea. But Islamic societies clearly don't want that so we shouldn't have even bothered.
What is the civilian/combattant ratio on the american wars??? Israel is doing a far better job at this than the US has ever done in any of their urban wars!!! The US can give no lesson to Israel on this!
What? Can you back up your statement?
@@Klopp25431:2 vs 1:10
UN ratio is 9:1 (9 civilians to 1 combatant) in urban warfare global average, US in Mosel not as complex as Gaza 4:1, Israel is 2:1 in Gaza so far and Hamas is complicit in many of the civilian deaths to maximize casualties
we are monsters
@@user-wn2dr6zc9z how can you compare what's happening in Gaza with any other conflict? In Falluja Iraqis could flee and return to their homes and properties after the war, Palestinians can't if they flee they will never be allowed back. The size of Falluja and Gaza is very different, population density too
Israel is subjected to a standard that no other nation has ever been asked to uphold in warfare, even while Israel exceeds every other nation on earth in its concern for civilians resulting in the lowest ratio of civilian casualties of any other conflict. Kelly's lecturing on this subject is pure politics with no basis in military reality.
I mean he is right. If the US was the one doing this the casualty rate would be a lot higher that's for sure.
Sen. Kelly and President Biden haven't ever dealt with the Middle East mentality that Americans have absolutely no understanding of at all.
They going to need to get into the Middle East mentality in a big way....cos there's a global intifada heading their way. And they think gun violence is their biggest issue...wait for suicide bombers from within their borders. 911 the attackers had to fly a plane through US skies.... 2024...their attackers are already in the US.
You are right. Being soft is considered as weakness in the Middle East. That is why most of them have brutal dictatorships. Even Hamas and the PLO are brutal dictatorships.
which is WHAT??? What is your culturally chauvinistic view???
Guys, 400K Afghans and Iraqi have been killed in US wars following 9/11. Did anyone think that the US was committing Genocide ? What is the base to think that the US would have conduct this war differently?
I said the same thing. It's comical really seeing that we murdered 300-400,000 innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan. Two reasons you are seeing high civilian deaths. #1 hamas uses them as shields and want civilians to die as it helps thier messaging. They also don't wear uniforms so they are hard to pick out against a civilians. And #2 it's the most density per mile of people.
It wasn’t blasted live for us to see and most importantly “we did it in self defense” this brainwashing creating more Islamophobia
The US would not drop 500 lb bombs in Mosul, Israel has regularly dropped 2000lb bombs on apartment buildings and refugee camps. An IDF spokesperson admitted to Wolf Blitzer that they bombed a refugee camp, likely killing around 200 civilians in order to get one Hamas commander. It's an insult to the US military to compare the IDF's blatant disregard for collateral damage, to US military operations. Even the most ardent Israel supporter should agree that Israel has shown a disregard for civilians and their own hostages at points. Hamas directly targeted and killed civilians, but Israel has also blown up over half the buildings in Gaza. I think a large portion on the planet feel that the "human shields" argument cannot be an excuse to turn the majority of a territory to rubble.
How is it a war when the Palestinians have no jets or bombs and over 30,000 are dead, Israel refused a permanent ceasefire today with a return of ALL the hostages. They said they would not stop permanently
@@mikeglenn5212 civilian casualties for afgan was 40,000 and thats killed by both sides. iraq was 100,000 and that includes the iraqi civil war.
None of this is true. The IDF is doing way more for Palestinian civilians than the USA did for Iraqi civilians and Afghan civilians while we prosecuted our wars in their country.
Yeah right
Really? The IDF would take several hundred thousand Gazans in and let them live in Israel? Can you even guess how many Afghanis we brought back here, or maybe you don't want to bother looking any of that up. And we also have Iraqis that live here to that were allowed in. I somehow don't believe that Israel will be doing that with the Palestinians!
@@IcerinAlaska49nobody wasn’t Islamic people in their country
Because your knowledge is based on propoganda not facts!!
@@IcerinAlaska49you really know nithing!! There facts and you believe propoganda!
I think its horrible that people tend to not care about the killing of men the way they do about women children and elderly.
You’re right. Civilians are civilians.
It's even more disturbing that a prominent politician accepts casualty figures from a terrorist organisation which does not acknowledge militant casualties, at face value
They keep referencing women and children bc they are for sure not Hamas. They r for sure civilians. But, yes I agree.
Hamas has used both women and children to attack Israel.
I don't think its that necessarily. Its unfortunate, but soldiers have traditionally been defined as men ( a little older than adolescents) for millennia. Its harder and murkier and difficult to distinguish between a male who is "fighting age" that is a civilian vs a soldier. However, women, children and elderly are usually more clearly and easily distinguished as not being the soldiers. Hence the difference. So, not so much people don't care, its that when talking about civilians its easier to make clear who you're talking about if you talk about people who CLEARLY can't be fighting soldiers (ie innocent).
This is not journalism
Right on. But it's NBC, which is just diet MSNBC.
Jealous of Welker? What a pro she is. Glad she's the host.
This is a propaganda hit piece meant to distort the truth about the peaceful protestors being attacked by pro-Israel counter protesters.
Why not?
Journalism is not you getting to hear what you want to hear.
Cant watch this copaganda crap any longer.
Bye
crapoganda..
This is pure propaganda. Tired of the dishonesty.
Then don't watch it. Why would anyone watch? By the way, that's your opinion. It's total honesty. Hamas are pure propaganda savages.
I saw the rerun in the middle of the night. I almost threw up.
What did he say that was so dishonest? I didn't hear anything wild from him
Nothing
So many people are in an alternate reality
Critics of Israel always use the same formula: "(1) There are too many civilian casualties in Gaza, but I will never mention the actual civilian to combatant ratio. And (2) Israel should be fighting this war much differently, but I will never tell you how."
Thanks for giving us clarity on that matter.
This
Exactly right brother!
You do realise no one actually knows the ratio of civilians to combatants. What you're getting from Israel is a ratio of women, children and elderly, and then men and teens "of fighting age", not confirmed combatants. Even with that assumption, it still doesn't bode well for Israel when they're happy to be killing so many civilians - a ratio that's actually worse than the ratio on October 7 of actual Israeli combatants and civilians as per Israel's own numbers.
This woman is the best person for propaganda news
Yes, I agree. The U.S. military would conduct the war against Hamas much differently than Israel. Just look at how the U.S. military conducted the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, in which they fled with their tails between their legs, leaving numerous soldiers and civilians dead, and leaving billions of dollars worth of military equipment behind for the enemy to use or sell. Yeah, the U.S. military would definitely show Israel how to lose a war. I am glad Israel is not going to listen to the U.S. Oh, and the U.S. military killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi and Afghani civilians in the wake of these two wars. Shame on these liberal/leftist Israel-hating news media outlets and shame on the Biden administration and some democrats like Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer
Israel is wiped off the map without the USA. America is called the keystone to Israel’s existence. Stop lecturing. The State you support had a Holocaust committed against it and is now doing it to another country. Israel couldn’t show anyone what to do. American soldiers didn’t care to be in any of those conflicts. I would love to see America and Israel meet in battle though.
Well said.
@@marlenegray534 poorly said. Israel perishes without the USA, who has saved you at every corner. I think it is fair to say reading these Israeli biased comments against America, Israel is using the United States. Our youth see it and young parents see it. I also educate my children by allowing them to read first hand how Israel or supporters of it talk about us on TH-cam. Thank you and keep teaching my children to dislike Israel, which you will label antisemitism for your words against America.
Look up Attack on uss liberty in 6 days war in 1967… who attacked it and why? why was it covered up? who committed war crimes?

"Israel should do a better job". Sure. Thanks for mentoring. Just remember that for US forces in Afghanistan and Iraq the ratio of civilian to combatant casualties was 6 : 1, while Israel got to the ratio of 1.5 : 1.

Amazing! you know the EXACT ratio of civilians to combatants, but the literal IDF spokespersons cannot answer this question and are saying they have no idea 😂 😂 😂

Jewish and Palestinian kids need to be safe but both rights to protest must be protected too
Ya, peaceful protesting. Not Palestinian violence.
@@PMcC44 Are you misinformed or dishonest? The only case of group violence was when a group of pro Israelis attacked the student encampment in UCLA while the police sat on their hands.
Protest is NOT taking over a campus, breaking inside, trashing the place, prevent students from attending classes and making Jews terrified to be on campus. These are all CRIMES!!! Along with civil rights violations, which require FBI to step in. How would you like it if Jews took the place over, called for death of all Palestinians and prevented them from attending their classes. You'd be having a MELTDOWN!!!
@@PMcC44this is why we’re in this mess! This type of selective outrage
Preventing other people from exercising their 1st amendment rights is not protected speech.
AIPAC contributions of $496,271 to Senator Mark Kelly are really paying off here.
Parroting assigned talking points
AIPAC is pro-Isrl Americans donating to their preferred politicians, as is their right. Anti-Isrl Americans have the same right, and do the same. To single out the pro-Isrl side of this as uniquely bad is just bias.
You guys ain't too bright 😂😂😂😂
He my senator…. He sucks
@@canitbethat Yeah, none of the people laser-focusing on Israel would ever acknowledge WHY.
Those young people were not out of control.
Senator Kelly would you allow “ peaceful protests “ calling for extermination of black or Hispanic or Asian Americans ?
Why don’t you condemn the protests themselves and not just the violence ?
That's AIPAC'S money Talking
AIPAC is just pro-Israel Americans supporting their preferred candidates, which they have a right to do. Anti-Israel Americans are free to do the same. To suggest that there's something uniquely wrong with pro-Israel Americans doing this is just bias.

@@no-orwelliandystopia AIPAC is an American organization that collects money from pro-Israel Americans for political campaigns in America. It's not a foreign lobby.

Why are we talking about the national guard? Let's be clear, the national guard is the military. Calling in the US military against US citizens should never happen because of words or hurt feelings.
On the campuses, CAIR and QATAR money talking
It's certainly whoever is behind the BDS movement.
I don't believe the US would appreciate it if Israeli decided to tell us how to conduct our own combat operations, and that relationship holds true in reverse. Does President Biden support Israeli or not? Is US support unconditional or not? Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan was disastrous, passively arming the Taliban with abandoned weapons and munitions stores as well as the repetitional loss and doubts raised by strategic partners regarding US commitments- so I'm not convinced of Senator Kelly's claims about how the US would conduct operations against Hamas. Sen. Kelly never discusses specific metrics about what would constitute improvement in the IDF's ability to limit civilian casualties, and despite his acknowledgement that Hamas is the most substantial threat to lasting peace in the region, the UN just voted to expand Palestine's observer state status.
His suggestion that Hamas would abide by any binding treaty is absolute folly. Why doesn't he just put on a top hat like Lord Chamberlain and proclaim, "peace in our time"?
Ladies and Gentlemen, what happened to the announcements that civilians should move to a safe place to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza?
Hamas never makes these announcements, they want civilians not to move out of harm's way so they can use them as human shields and propaganda. It's their enemy, Israel, who does so. Unprecedented in any war.
Sure, that makes it all better. Why raze everything?oh, I guess Hamas didn't get the memo or were like "we'll defend your homes". I don't claim to be an expert on this type of warfare but I understand why people are appalled by it all.
Israel straight up told Palestinians to leave Rafah or be killed in the fighting.
They are making no effort to help civilians find shelter or evacuate them from areas they are going to bomb. They just keep expecting them to shuffle around gaza as its destroyed.
The US actually made an effort to not carpet bomb children. Crazy right?
Israel made those. They also passed out fliers. They made voice mails & texts.
@@SafetySpooonhave you seen the text on those flyers? Many of them were taunts and threats
Listening to this BS PROPAGANDA, IS DISGUSTING.

Amen!

Actually, I think he is very wishy-washy and trying to speak from both sides of his mouth.
the military's campaign in afghanistan was conducted differently and was a massive success, for the taliban.
Is US military is so efficient, it won't loss so many American soldier in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq war.
It's OK everyone! CNN, MSNBC, FOX NEWS, JOE BIDEN, AND DONALD TRUMP all stand for the RIGHT of Israel to protest Free Speech in AMERICA!
RafahOffensiveNow !!! #palestine is a made up place.
Free speech IS NOT taking over a private building like you own it. Preventing people from attending their classes they PAID FOR. Breaking inside said building and trashing the place, leaving the University to pay tens of thousands of dollars worth in repairs. These are called CRIMES!!! All of which are ILLEGAL!!!
Where are your brains? Up your damned A**?
Are you trying to get likes from both sides?
How's that working for us? Our track record is pathetic.
Im so tired of these bs interviews. What's the point of an interview with no pushback? You might as well just publish their opinions as fact. Jewish students are part of the protest. Stop the gaslighting.
There are Israelis who are against what their own government is doing.. do your research
Oh he fought in Iraq and speaks about that like it's a good thing
I didn't see it this way. But, someone who has seen war will understand more than someone who hasn't. There is no disputing this.
@@MsMishLee What I meant to say is he speaks like the war on Iraq was a good thing. You don't have to have fought in it to understand that it was a catastrophe.
We don’t need more Biden John. Elect a moderate. Libertarian. RFK Jr. Biden is OLD. Anyone who thinks Biden, is out of their mind in November.
Very disappointed.
None of the armed factions are fighting alone. Hence, the intervention of the US army in favor of Israel is not a crime, as Iran and other parties support Hamas. Any of these parties make wars looking for both the short and long term bad consequences against themselves and their respective relatives.
Sorry, Hank, Mark, whatever, but the ratio of civilian deaths to combatant deaths in Gaza is lower than in ANY conflict involving Muslims or Arabs in history, and a FRACTION of the deaths of civilians when the USA CARPET BOMBED Mosul, Falluja, Ramadi...Lets recall the time the USA bombed a school full of children hiding in Baghdad, or the thousands of Iraqi children who died from lack of medicines and foodstuffs during the #USABlockade...Do better? USA should be learning from Israel. How much money did Qatar and Iran donate to your campaign?
It was barbaric. Oct 7th was barbarism.
And the Democrat party funded it and denies that their beloved Hamas did anything wrong.
And every other day ?
Isreal was invaded by armed individuals on dirt bikes, suvs, and paragliders! That's like losing a battle to the cast of Floribama Shore. And we're paying these wimps to be our allies? What's an ally worth that can't defend themselves 😂
The way the Zionists have been treating the Palestinians for over 100 years is barbarism. What do you expect when they have been left with no other option.
History did not start on Oct 7th - what did you think would happen?
Such a one sided man ,he is another AIPAC lobbiest.
That's absolutely clear
What did he specifically say to make u say that?
They would do a Mosul and Fallujah and not care one iota how many civilians are supposedly killed
Let’s not forget the Islamists in the middle east don’t care how many die
yes these war-pigs are chilling
bachelor party
Quiz: 1. How many Egyptian soldiers have been killed by Palestinian terror in the last 10 years.
2. Why did the Christians in Lebanon flee the country? Who conquered Lebanon?
3. How many Palestinian terrorists were killed in Syria by the Syrian army, and why?
4. Why did the State of Kuwait expel 400000 Palestinians after an attempt to occupy Kuwait.
5. Who tried to assassinate King Hussein and to turn Jordan into a state of Islamic law.
The Palestinians are not welcome in any Muslim country. Only the West embraces Islamic terrorism. Because of a common hatred for Jews. and will pay the cultural price. The West is killing itself
Kelly is rather dense.
Don’t remember warning civilians about bombings in Iraq or Afghanistan or supplying humanitarian aid or evacuating civilian population from the active military zone. He has no right to teach Israel. Such a bogus interview
How? By giving them more weapons? ….then beg them for peace billions worth of weapons?ok then let me help my obese son with M&M candies and sodas pop
The military needs to explain who authorized a pier when that isnt Americas land and why the presidents kids victim has a foreign disinformation task force
This man's intelligence is so high that all his hair fell out because it couldn't withstand the pressure of his intellect.
«My hope here is that in *the coming days,* there could be some change, you know-we will have to see but we continue to have these ongoing discussions with Hamas towards *some kind of* a ceasefire; Hamas has traditionally rejected them...And what I would like to see is that *things settle down.»* Meaning-if the protests persist after those "ongoing discussions," then it would be okay to unleash the *National Guard* on protesters?! "I want this, I want that"-does Mr. Kelly consider what the protesters are asking for besides what "he wants."
Lalaland. Your hopes have nothing to do with reality.
"If we don't see changes, it is appropriate to put conditions on aid". Really? How many months, years will u give Israel to fo better.
When the U.S. demonstrates that it protects civilians in similar wars better than Israel does, the U.S. will have a right to criticize their methods. Looking at Mosul, though, I don't think the U.S. has the high moral ground here.
Bernie Sanders...listen to him...
He is losing support from young voters.
I'd say everything he said outside of the Hamas-Israel conflict would appeal to young voters. And regarding the conflict, I think those not so gullible by social media can understand what he is saying as well and support it.
If Mexico did to the US what Hamas did to Israel - well let's just say the conflict would have ended within 48 hrs - would've/should've/could've🙃
America take care of your peoples, before Israel
America and Gaza both should be free
Far left news you stated this
Oh yes and the US has always played by the rules of international law, haven't they? Just like in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan for instance.
All wars that Biden was in favor of.
Let,s focus on the present crisis which requires unity or it will never be resolved. If Hamas is let off the hook for any reason ,they will never go away and blend into peace loving human beings....ever !!!
Maybe we would. Maybe we wouldn't. We don't have the best track record.
according to Donald Trump Arabs r leaving life like kings, but i see Israelis r having royal life, the r enjoying other peoples land, having USA and European's unconditional money to enjoy life even they don't have to spend on security or health or education even they don't have to earn enough to spent more then any USA or European citizen can dream of.

Gaza has long ago become violent and out of control. How many lives, Senator, does it take to constitute revenge?
It is tempting to be in awe of the Senator's military record and hold him as some kind of authority on waging wars. However, I suspect he would be the first person to tell you that there is a huge difference between being a "flyboy" like he was versus being a "boots on the ground" foot soldier.His claim(s) that America would fight this war differently and that Netanyahu has made mistakes are not coming from a position of relevant/current experience. Not very credible.

Seriously? When US Military fought a war, the casualties were 1:8, IDF have casualties 1:1.5. What gives you a reason to believe US would do better?
No violence needed. Breach of duty is punishable in court as this administration tells me the international court has no authority in gaza
He received half a million dollars from AIPAC. So it's important to know he work's for a foreign lobby and spewing all of their talking points.
The US army would conduct the war different? Yeah, with many more civilians (and military) casualties.
Fact is the US did not do anything different when they attacked Afghanistan (even though it was attacked by Saudi's that organized in Germany).
Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria... Of course, the US would make war differently. 😅😊😂

@@canitbethatIsrael has also rejected several deals for example. No one mentions this. At least be balanced in your reporting.
@@canitbethat many things. I will address 2:
1-The vast majority of the of the pro-Palestinian student protests have not been violent and many of the pro-Palestinian protesters are Jews who are staunchly against the Israeli government’s massacre in Gaza. In fact, most of the violence at the protests were instigated by pro-Israeli supporters and from police crackdowns.
2-The Israeli government is the biggest opponent to a ceasefire. Netanyahu keeps saying hostage deal or no hostage deal, he’s going to invade Rafah. Also all the deals that have been put on the table have only been to do a “temporary ceasefire”. Why would Hamas agree to a deal to release all hostages and lose all leverage for a temporary ceasefire? It’s nonsense.
Dear World,
I understand your frustration with us here in Israel. It's evident that our actions have often stirred anger and controversy. From the conflicts with our neighbors to the ongoing struggles for peace, we recognize the toll it takes on our relationship with the global community.
But please, allow me to offer some context. Our journey as a people has been marked by adversity and resilience. From the horrors of the Holocaust to centuries of persecution and exile, we've endured unimaginable hardships.
When we returned to our ancestral homeland, it was not to provoke or upset, but to find safety and security. Yet, our presence has sparked tensions and conflicts that have tested the patience of the world.
Despite the challenges we face, we remain committed to coexistence and peace. We strive to defend our land while seeking paths to reconciliation with our neighbors.
So, when you criticize our actions or policies, remember the history that has shaped our choices. Remember the sacrifices made by generations past to ensure our survival and the importance of our homeland to our identity and existence.
We don't seek to upset you. We seek understanding, empathy, and a shared vision for a peaceful future.
Sincerely,
Israel
This is embarrassing, parading as "journalism". NBC is over. Corporate media is Over - even as both desperately gasp for their final breaths.
Do you think if the border presented earlier in the foreign aid package would pass a stand alone issue now?
The Pentagon is sometimes slow to learn, but they DO learn. And they do a much better job of analyzing reality and recognizing past errors than does politics at large, or for that matter, journalism.
THEY HAD A AGREEMENT TO GIVE HOSTAGES BACK
why do these interviews sound like speeches? Speeches with some other person filling the gaps for them? lol
«The police have *conducted themselves appropriately.»* What does that mean? Using pepper spray, beating people with batons, tasing people, kneeling on people in prone positions and pressing their heads against the ground, attacking teachers protecting students, violently shoving and grabbing people in locked arms and dragging them on the ground, firing gaseous weapons at the crowd, etc.
So, you are OK with just allowing these out of control pinheads to destroy property ,disrupt other's lives, threaten other's safety....maybe add on a side hustle of looting ?

Too many "experts" on the Israeli military engagement in Gaza like this TV announcer suddenly appeared out of thin air.
I seriously disagree with Senator Kelly about the conduct of Israel in this war. Every comparison I've seen with how urban warfare is conducted places Israel's tactics and strategy at the apex of successful intervention, defined as the most enemy killed with the least civilian casualties. Please google the statics yourself if you don't believe me.
Look into the US incursion into Mosel with its civilian to combatant casualties.
Check on Iraq and Afghanistan. Do you know why the Russians memorialize Stalingrad and Leningrad? And in WWII there was Warsaw, not just the first invasion but then the Russian reconquest. (Russia had it's own reasons not to minimize civilian casualties). Reconquest of Manilla had a very high casualty rate and it was one of the reasons the US decided to use an atomic bomb to end the Pacific war.
Also, Senator Kelly mentions offhandedly that Israel isn't using the proper ordnance and should be using more guided bombs.
But that's exactly what Biden has refused to supply!
I'm a life-long democrat but I'm seriously disappointed at President Biden's decision to withhold the weapons Israel needs to succeed in this war. If Israel doesn't succeed, if Hamas is allowed to remain in power at any level, we will see replay after replay of this scenario. It has been promised.
Everything else Senator Kelly says I completely agree with!!! Women's rights, Voting rights, you name it, immigration crisis, Republicans just complain. Democrats fix it.
Student protest is Americana as apple pie! These folks have forgotten when they were students during Nixon in Nam!
Joel 3:1
For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
Kelley is bias and dishonest in his framing …
No. The reporter keeps pushing Hamas disinformation and agenda!
The real problem is israeli occupation. If any party other than Hamas were in power in Gaza right now, it might have tried to lobby for international support for the Palestinians of East Jerusalem a few days or weeks longer before launching rockets on Israel. But seeing its fellow countrymen and women made homeless, time and time again, would ultimately have forced the hand of even a non-Hamas government in Gaza, either drawing it into the fight or making it so unpopular for not getting involved that it’d be forced out of power.
Isr has absolutely not responded in an appropriate way. How many videos of injured and dead children in Gaza do we need to watch live-streamed before change is made.
A change to what, exactly? A miraculous new way of fighting in which soldiers can be killed without harming the civilians they're hiding behind?
Indeed. Especially when the Live streams are live from Gaza by Hamas.
@@canitbethat you are obviously not a military expert. There certainly are ways to fight a war in which intelligence and targeting militants is priority. That is clearly not the case here.
@@christinaakbari6241 Not a military expert myself, but have read what some of them have written about this. Read, for example, the analysis of John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at West Point's Modern Warfare Institute, on the measures the IDF has been taking to protect civilians. He clearly thinks they're ahead of the U.S. on this. Look also at the civilian to combatant ratio from the most similar battle the U.S. has led, vs. ISIS in Mosul. The IDF has done better than the U.S. did there. It's easy to say that it could be done better, but where's the actual evidence of another military doing better in a similar situation?
akbari.... what would an appropriate response be for you? Surely you have no answer lol
Why would we be against Hamas? I don’t want that
