‘The world’s capacity for tolerating horror’, that’s Gaza. Informative and heartbreaking podcast. Condolences to Mr Mohammed Alsaafin
Why? He supports Sinwar. On 6,10.2023 nothing happened, and his family house was very much ok. So, he must be happy to have a leader as Sinwar.
@@constantineblyuz5786
Why not support him, mister? They’re fighting for their land. Look at fascista Netanyahu! 🤧
arguing about "nothing happened on oct 6" is so ignorant and bad faith. if all you know about the world is hasbara, you're being made a fool of. and you seem to follow the logic that the resistance to oppression is to be held accountable for the violence (so much violence, including high tech genocide) of the oppressor, while the latter is fully justified in any degree of escalation, disregarding any human rights and international law when the world's highest court finds their annexation in breach of the latter and in fact constituting apartheid. not to even mention hannibalism and riots in defense of the right to brutally rape detained people.
if you think all was good and quiet on october sixth, go talk to any of those thousands of people locked up in usraeli torture camps.

Sinwar has the right to fight for his homeland.
@@gomerpyle1542youwho and company want that rubble, but will be walking into a trap
💯💯💯💯 agree
While he hides behind women.
*What your imams don't tell you*
Son of God does not mean that God has a child in Christianity!
*this is a mistake in the Qur'an!*
*What your imams don't tell you*
Allah himself testifies that he has a son and he is the son as Christians understand it! Only the Koran writer was too ignorant to know what Son of God means! Allah's word which created everything is Allah himself too! *The Word Allahs which created everything is the Son of God according to Christianity!*
I am so sorry, Mohammed, about your family, as well as all those other families suffering equally. It must be so difficult being elsewhere, while such horrifying, terrorizing actions are being inflicted on your loved ones. My heart aches for the Gazans.
Thank you sir

what happened to the chant "Death to Isarael" from Gaza?
@@haonguyen-f4c
Theodore Herzl, the founder of Zionism wrote in his book,
Der Judenstaat(the Jewish state)
Published in 1896, that the setting up of a Jewish state, Wherever that may be, would require the Ethnic Cleansing of the Indigenous people.
I think he uses the term Evacuation of the Indigenous people.
The book is worth a read.
It is quite astonishing how the book lacks Self reflection but then, that is the nature of Extremism.
@@mariahewitt9787 then why doesn’t ur beloved hamas stop them ?

Heartbreaking ending. It's so refreshing to hear from someone who actually knows Arabic sources. Thank you for sharing.

He a different personality to the Ismail(blessings) SINWAR is a rough diamond a warrior!! He loves his people and his time in a Israeli facility taught him a lot.
To the reporter I am so sorry you lost everything!! Thank you for such a stellar performance on this podcast!!! I appreciate your honesty and hard work!!! I am from the US and I can’t imagine what you are going through! Stay alive and well!!
Muhammads story at the end is heartbreaking May the good Lord see you through people of 🇵🇸
Appointing Sinwar is the most direct way to present a middle finger to the Israelis.
I hope he starts making public appearances.
And what good does that do for the people of Gaza.
Does it get back their homes or lives ?
It’s because of his actions on 10/7 Palestinians are in the situation they are today.
Giving the middle finger to Israel isn’t going to help the Palestinians in anyway.
@@davidmhale521They're been in that situation for decades now long before Oct 7 or today.
@@randomka-52alligatorthatis34 and 10/7 didn’t change anything or make their lives better did it ?
All it did was cost Palestinians more land , homes and lives. Thanks to Sinwar and his fighters who hide behind women and children to safe themselves from the IDF to let their people suffer.
U must be so proud of him.
Sinwar’s actions on October 7th worsen the lives of his people
Everything in Gaza was formed with sadness 🇵🇸

An amazing yet heartbreaking amount of the constant uphill battle for basic survival, life. May God bless Sinwar and grant freedom and equality for all Palestinians ❤😢

This guy doesn't want equality in Palestine. He and Hamas want Islamic state. You're ignorant.
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family, Mohammed. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be 💞

“Fighting for one's own freedom is never a crime. It is the most natural thing in the world.” Dr. Edward Said 🇵🇸
They are free in Gaza . They come snd went everyday . Until oct 7!
I don't know what to say or do. We failed as human beings in allowing this idea of Zionism.
How can anyone say this not a Genocide. This is so wrong and these beautiful amazing people from Palestine deserve safety and peace.
Kudos to all Palestinian heroes the world have never seen courages people ever in this world
The world has seen many courageous people though this does not detract from the courage of Palestinians, it only detracts from your argument.
Mohammed thanks for sharing your personal story
Great ❤
My condolences to you Mr Mohammed Alsaafin and multiple other families in Palestine you will forever remain our family and our kin and remain in our prayers. Such podcasts should be aired and shared everywhere so our side may also be told.

This heroic man spent 25 years of his life in Israeli prisons
2 months later I am laughing at your face 🤣🤣🤣
This is exactly Nelson Mandela. He was imprisoned for 27 years in jail as a terrorist only to be released to lead a once labelled terrorist organisation. Yahya will lead a free Palestine
Just amazes me that they have called themselves refugees for 75 years... only in Gaza.. absurd.
By putting rifles in kids' hands? Wow, that's definitely new to hamas... Oh, wait...
He is Moses of Palestine who was raised in enemy's home❤❤❤
He’s cost Palestinians more land , homes and Palestinians lives for his agenda.
moses wasnt a killer relax
@@thesaltyshakerLoL he was a warrior, of course he killed people. Matter of fact, in Bible is in mentioned how he killed the guard and hid the body. After that he had different battles, the last one was when they were trying to conquer Canaan. So yes, he was a killer.

And without him israel would have treated palestinians with respect?? Lamo.
They would have been slaves for jews racism forever.
You gave palestinians no choice but supporting Hamas
Just like Vlad the Impaler
"They see themselves as a national liberation movement" 😂 bro, i got news for you: "THEY ARE A NATIONAL LIBERATION MOVEMENT ".
you are dead wrong. 100%. They don't want to create a nation of Palestine, they want to create an Islamic Caliphate. It's not a mystery. Hamas has made this very clear. You don't believe them? LOL.

It's heart and soul wrenching!!

Thank you so much for this coverage, yall do amazing work
Great episode.
Very good video into the reality of life in Gaza
Today I will tell you about the history of Palestine: After World War II ended and the British decided to leave Palestine, they did not leave it like France left Lebanon and Syria and Britain left Jordan (Palestine had cordially received some Jews fleeing from Hitler’s torture, and the British also placed some Jews in In Palestine, they divided the Palestinian lands into three pieces: 51 for the Zionists and 49 for the people of Palestine, as for Jerusalem, it was shared. The people of Palestine certainly rejected this decision, but the Palestinians are still emerging from occupation, so there is no way out, so they were forced to submit to this reality, and with regard to that group that says that Palestine sold its land Palestine did not sell its land, but there were two types:
The first type: The elderly who were not aware of politics, when a Zionist asked them to buy land for a double amount, agreed, but they did not know what would happen because they were not aware of politics.
The second category: The majority of them were not Palestinians, but from different countries
As for the largest group whose Palestinian lands were taken, it was by force, and some of them were killed and others were forcibly displaced.
After the Palestinians were forced to submit to forced coexistence with the Jews.
Britain had many weapons that they did not know what to do with, so they sold them to the Zionists. What did the Zionists do with them, in your opinion?
Yes, yes, they used it to kill the people of Palestine after they agreed to live in peace among themselves, and from here came the Nakba of 1948 and the occupation of Palestine began again after the end of the British occupation.اليوم ساخبركم عن تاريخ فلسطين:بعد ان انتهت الحرب العالميه الثانية و قرار خروج البريطانيين من فلسطين لم تخرج منها مثلما خرجت فرنسا من لبنان و سوريا و بريطانيا من الاردن(كانت فلسطين قد استقبلت بودية بعض اليهود الهاربين من عذاب هتلر و ايضا وضعوا البريطانيين بعض اليهود في فلسطين و قد قسموا الاراضي الفلسطينية الى ثلاث قطع 51 للصهاينة و 49لأهل فلسطين اما القدس فكانت مشتركة)بالتأكيد رفض أهل فلسطين هذا القرار و لكن الفلسطينيون لازالوا خارجين من احتلال فليس باليد حيلة فاضطروا أن يرضخوا لهذا الواقع وبالنسبة لتلك الفئة التي تقول ان فلسطين باعت ارضها فلسطين لم تقم ببيع ارضها إنما كان هناك نوعان:
النوع الاول:كان كبار السن الذين لا يعلمون بالسياسة عندما يطلب منهم صهيوني بشراء ارض بمبلغ مضاعف يوافقوا و لم يعرفوا ماذا سيحدث كونهم لا يعلمون بالسياسة
الفئه الثانيه:اغلبيتهم لم يكونوا فلسطينيين إنما من مختلف البلدان
اما الفئة الاكبر التي أخذت منها أراضيها الفلسطينية فكانت بالإكراه ومنهم من تم قتلهم وآخرون تم تهجيرهم بالإجبار
بعد اضطرار الفلسطينيون الخضوع لمعايشة اليهود بالإكراه.
كان للبريطان اسلحة كثيرة لم يعرفوا ماذا يفعلون بها فباعوها للصهاينة وماذا فعل الصهاينة بها برأيكم؟
نعم نعم استخدومها لقتل اهل فلسطين بعد اتفاق ان يعيشو بسلام فيما بينهم ومن هنا جاءت نكبة 48 و بدأ احتلال فلسطين من جديد بعد انتهائها من الإحتلال البريطاني
go back in history and look up roman invasion of samaria and judea
@@thesaltyshakerLoL There are many false historical books that will continue to talk about history, and I will continue to talk about history until tomorrow, but the truth remains one, which is that Palestine is free and will be liberated from the oppressive enemy entity, God willing, the One and Only One.

@@thesaltyshakerLoLgo back in your religious texts & look up God throwing the Chosen out of izrael & banning them from forming another nation because of their atrocious behaviour. It happened about 1800 years ago.
@@gracechoumane7658you should take your history back to the First Aliyah of the 1880s & '90s when they were indeed buying land & property before the thefts & murders began, back to the Balfour Declaration during WW1 essentially declaring Britain's involvement & backing, back to the ships arriving in Jaffa in Gaza from 1920, back to the founding of the 3 terrorist groups Haganah, Irgun & Lehi, back to the bombing of the King David Hotel which destroyed most of the British paperwork, back to those 3 terrorist groups, just like ISIS, declaring their -caliphate- nation, back to those terrorist groups changing their names, Haganah became IDF, Lehi became Likud & Irgun later joined Likud.

So interesting. What a real fight to be the leader of.
Very interesting conversation.. I have to admit that i didnt know all that much about Sinwar in comparison to what ive learned about Hanyah. I knew about his time in prison and how he not only learned hebrew, but was able to translate a lot of books written by former Shin Bet officials, IOF generals and books in general written by israelis about their strategies and way theyre working insise the security agencies. Quite impressive to be honest. But sadly, i didnt know much more about him l, so this is very informative and helpful.
A very respected personality. May Allah grant you victory over the enemies of humanity
Sinwar KNOWS his enemy... Brilliant Man!
