  1. Had the same thought. A very dark and cruel twist of irony.

  2. ​​​ @patrickwalker4159 this is only part of the reason. Egypt's military government is also very reluctant to let many refugees in because they fear it would greatly increase the risk of Islamic extremist attacks in the country that they have had trouble with in the past, would only take a small minority of Gazan refugees to join existing groups for the problem to grow and reverse the gains that Egypt has made against them in recent history. Egypt's Islamic extremist groups have had their home bases in the Sinai for decades. Jordan kicked the PLO and many Palestinians out in the 70's because of the large uptick in violence it was bringing to their home soil. Arab leaders like to publicly express solidarity with the Palestinians, but in reality it's nowhere near as strong as that shown by the general population of their respective countries. Also arab countries are mostly Authoritarian, democracy doesn't really exist.

  3. 10:03 agree, good point. Most wars, Ukraine, Syria etc, civilians are at least able to flee to relative safety when the chance arises. Most Gazans have been trapped since the start, with no real opportunity to move somewhere truly safe. The Israeli designated safe zones are inadequate and nowhere near big enough to fit the large numbers of displaced civilians. More pressure should be put on Egypt to allow more Gazans that desperately need adequate health treatment to be let through the southern border, even if only temporarily. There's no shortage of charities, other governments, NGO's etc with resources waiting to help due to not being able to get enough assistance into Gaza. Here in Australia our government gave out 800+ visas(small number but not nothing)to Gazan relatives of Australian citizens (also gave a similar number to Israeli relatives after 10/7), but some have been waiting weeks, now months, for Egypt to add them to the list of Gazans with foreign visas that are aloud to cross over Egypt and Israel's blockade that prevents the vast majority from fleeing the war to find safety and link up with families abroad. Egypt would get all the help it needs (money, equipment, people etc) from the international community to help provide more relief to civilians in Gaza. Obviously I am definitely not talking about taking all or most Gazans and moving them permanently to the Sinai in a move of abhorrent ethnic cleansing. As Preston says, the silence regarding humanitarian relief solutions for the millions of Gazans aside from permanent ceasefire (that seems to not be going to happen anytime soon) is telling. Of course there's not easy solutions, but if alternative solutions are not being discussed, they will never be worked out.

  4. Watched the video again, and the point you make at the end hit even harder. Very valid.

  5. ​ @AnalytiQN have seen reports backing this up, it's your claim that I haven't seen any proof of.

  6. ​ @JoeRogansForehead some people seem to have selective hearing and not be able to take in context😅 Preston was clearly talking about anonymous statement from Biden reelection campaign staff that was meant to put pressure on Biden

  7. Wasn't the letter Anonymous? Was it a trustworthy source that said it was written by Tlaib?

  8. ​ @davidmc8475 there's no legit argument that no aid is getting in. It's more about not getting enough aid in.

  9. ​​ @Agint483 doesn't mean that work can't be done to remove this benefit from Hamas while still helping the many Gazan civilians who aren't Hamas. Also the corruption and control Hamas had in Gaza before 10/7 would be drastically reduced, just from the chaos and destruction the war has brought so far.

  11. ​ @bobduncan4720 also have been watching videos daily. I just go straight to my subscription tab and click straight on to Preston's channel if I haven't seen the latest thumbnail in my feed as Preston seems to upload practically daily.

  13. The video is still up, glad to see, it's a good one. Only became aware of your work since the Israeli Hamas war and noticed you used to do your own podcasts. Any plans to do more?
