A lot of atrocities have been happening in the past. There is no doubt about that. This video is rather lengthy and packed with numbers and claims, so I comment as I watch. I have nothing against Israel as such. A certain consensus was reached years ago and borders were given. If only Israel didn't keep expanding illegally... It would have had a clear record and everybody would stand with Israel today. But many in their sane minds cannot. You cannot hurt others and then demand understanding when you get the push back.
Listing how many Jews lived in Muslim countries and how many are there now... many have moved from even peaceful regions elsewhere to Israel, even if they were born elsewhere - into the illegal settlements. The problem isn't the Jewishness, it is the Zionism - at all cost. The current Israeli government is recognised as far-right and you alone don't agree with it. There are Israelis that want to kill Palestinians and there are Palestinians that want to kill Israelis. The hate is mutual. The difference is how much each of them can defend themselves from the attack from outside. Palestinians clearly pull for a shorter lead. And probably most of them don't even support Hamas. They are now being beaten from both sides: Israel and Hamas. This isn't fair to those people, many of which already lost everything, some repeatedly, also due to Israeli illegal expansion.
The current Israeli steps look like a genocide on Palestinians. They are in a prison, they cannot escape, Egypt doesn't want them, yet they are told to evacuate in 24 hours or die, Israel starting from the North. How are you supposed to evacuate disabled or elderly when you have little or no enery or fuel left? And evacuate where? Into rubble Israel keeps turning buildings into? Even hospitals, claiming it is a breeding ground for terrorists... RuSSians also kept bombarding civilian objects indiscriminately (and targetting them), claiming they only target military objects. We know where the truth is.
Legal defence doesn't include knowingly killing defenceless civilians.
