#Israel #Neighbors #Relationship
So between two neighboring countries, the larger + better supplied one is defying UN recognized borders based on a far-fetched historical claim, is firing missiles on civilian infrastructure, and launching a ground invasion… how is this any different than what Russia is doing to Ukraine?
It’s also important to note that Israel sends weapons to muslim Azerbaijan, that were then used to commit genocide against the 120,000 christian Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. It’s weird how the world works.
Interesting to learn about this and I pray that Iran keeps its restraint.
We can never trust the Saudi’s😉
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi met Anti-Zionist Jewish Rabbis from Neturei Karta International, on Sep 20, 2023, during the 78th United Nations General Assembly in New York, and discussed the difference between Zionism and Judaism.
“We always reiterate that we have no issue whatsoever with the jewish faith, with the Torah,” said President Raisi. “In Iran, jews are free to practice their religion. Our only issue is with the Zionists.”
The President added: “Today the Zionists wish to discredit the jewish faith, but we draw a clear distinction between zionist and the true Jewish faith. Your look in which you announce that you are jewish and yet you are not Zionist, this is something to be commended.” he said, the group’s mission of differentiating between their religious faith and Zionism.
Rabbi Weiss appreciated the freedom that Iran has offered the Jewry in the country, and asserted that “Zionism has nothing to do with our religion and belief.”
Israel is the aggressor.
It’s insane to think that Israel is also allied with the muslim state of Azerbaijan – and just sent them weapons in the last few days. Azerbaijan is ‘brothers’ with Turkey, which supports Hamas. It’s weird how the world works.
It’s a complicated puzzle and alliances are shifting in the Middle East lately quite a bit. That could be a good thing. We shall see.
The Turkic axis is a difficult one to get a grasp on. It’s really not clear how strong it is. Israel has always needed to take the friends it can get. Armenia is the same. The Saudi vs Iranian (Shia v. Sunni) axis is the one that still determines much of the political interactions in the region. That and the influence of superpowers which is a major factor, but often overstated. (See: Syria’s ties to Moscow)
@MGS79I honestly don’t think it’s a bot this time. Turkey’s foreign relations in the Middle East are not a prime target for propaganda right now.
Fair points about the Turkey -Hamas connection. It is hard to imagine why Turkey would have any interest in destabilizing Israel. That said, Erdogan’s foreign policy is one of the more nuanced and unpredictable in the world right now. Typical Anatolia dynamics of needing to balance it’s east, west, north and south.
Laws of nature thought us power shifts from one nation to another across time, US and Israel are not exceptions; therefore the assurance to anyone’s existence is living peace and justice with others, as power, money and weaponry don’t give assurances forever.
What Israelis do if tide turns against them as before ? For sure this Israel’s oppression would create a world free off Israelis.
its NEVER about religion. its just elites looking for more power in the region.
I hope it’s a good thing for sure, It’s a bit concerning but I hope there’s regional stability without deaths or border changes. Great point of the Sunni-Shia axis of influence too. Christian Armenia’s best ally is Shia Iran, I don’t think I can ever wrap my head around that 2000 year relationship LOL@EMS
I kneel down to pray for peace between the two countries or rather brothers
you should have a seat to typing using your keyboard
People have been praying forever, and this has been happening forever. Round and round you go.
This isn’t all about you you know!!!
What next, the invasion of Taiwan for the icing on the cake?
Don’t forget to get your booster shots sheeple. Big pharma and China depend on it.
0:22 I recall a break in that blockade when Morsi became the first-ever democratically elected President in Egypt’s history. Of course, that didn’t last.
President Putin and Turkey wants peace between the two countries and the Jewish lawyer in NATO said he wants peace between the two countries and the Jewish lawyer lives in Israel said the Jews people must not have read the bible because Israel is the most corrupt country in the world and they are using Hitler policy to crush the Palestinians people Hitler would be proud of Zionist Israel
What about it’s spiritual relationship with its neighbors ?
Why do the western media control by CEO or have connections to Jewish people ever bring up that Israel constantly steal land from Palestinian by bowdozing their houses and pushing them off THEIR LAND? Just heads up ISRAEL was never REAL until the U.N made it and gave it to them. What Israel is doing is what Russia is doing to Ukraine.
1:56 And don’t forget the massacre of Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in 1982 by the Phalangist allies of Israel. That kind of thing tends to leave a bad taste in the mouth.
I am deeply embarrassed about our president Joe Biden is unfit
people forget that the locks and canals can be shut down or bombed at any time and the oil cartels would be just fine with rubbels rupees and yuans….
And the USA can stop oil exports in response and no one in America would feel a thing.
@C TealThe US has the underutilized domestic oil and gas supply to fuel the United States and her allies for 25 years of wartime usage without crippling her economy. The reason why this remains underutilized is simple, the US prefers to utilize other Nations supply.
Once Israel takes hold of Gaza, they’ll never give it back. That’s ultimately what Israel wants.
And make sure to mention that the water israel supplies it supplies for free. Gaza has its own waterplants payed for by us, but they failed to build out capacity because somebody chose to build rockets from funding they got from the EU expand capacity. They are a bunch of idiots with wrong priorities.
Praying humanity Remembers its HUMANITY❤🌍
Abraham accords are another reason why Trump needs to be back in office.
You democrat traitors are on borrowed time
Terrorism has no religion, but every terrorist has the Same religion🤲🏽 🕋🕋😎😎
“aloh who achbar !!! BOOOOM !!!”
And now for something completely different….Jesus brings us comfort. Jesus brings us joy and hope, knowing that He removed all of our sins at Calvary. If you need some teaching on the matter, the you tube channel, ‘faith cometh by hearing’ has a fine teaching series titled, ‘change of mind’ which helped me understand the matter.
The one who has power does more terrorist acts.
Stop the propaganda video to justify barbaric bombings on G4za powered by the US tax payers.
We need wars and pandemics to stop the exponential growth of human population, otherwise there might be ten billion people in 2050. Two billion people still lack the access to safely managed water and human population keeps increasing rapidly despite our limited resources
This person knows what’s up
The media did not raise its voice against the massacre taking place in gaza. So the media will be equally guilty in the destruction of Israel. Which will destroy the power of media forever.
STOP ISRAEL MASSACRE.
Israel is doing the same level of crimes as Hamas
I cannot stress this enough! Please please repent people!! We are in the last days!!! The church Will be raptured and immediately following the TRIBULATION!!! which is Gods wrath being poured out on a disobedient and rebellious generation. Jesus died for you please accept Him please acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of a savior. Only Jesus has the power to forgive sins. Please cry out to Him. Time is short!! ⌛️
Judgment is inevitable!
I mean, if Israel wanted to end the Tehran regime, it is fairly clear that many, many iranians would be thankful, particularly Iranian women.
But no one wants to see an escalation of the war. It would be better to see Israel grow more friendships in the Middle East before even considering such an idea.
Many? Define “many”.
@Svenmore than 1.
I see saudis growing closer to Israel . A lot of good things can come out of understanding how things look from another point of view
For sure Israelis will harvest for the seeds they’re sowing right. It’s matter of time.
Israel just ruined the Middle East, killing millions
Its really sad ordinary people killed and murdered b Hamas its not right and held hostaged. But also i don’t see how they don’t care about getting hostages home!
Also why they saying Israel survival i don’t see Hamas having army in Israel as they are terrorists!
We should not say its ok to punish Palestinians people by killing and starving them in revenge! Isn’t right we don’t need any more refugees and Israel should not be allowed to do that either
know that america is controlled by zionists. that’s why the 1967 torpedoed USA ship, USS Liberty, was kept a secret. audio recordings show it was intentional. they knew it was American and they still did it. USA is israel’s w*ore. 🤑🤑
Do they know that Islamic countries are backstabbing each other?
Why are they showing a 70 year old Sherman tank?
Iran is next
US distracted in two front, time to take Taiwan!! we have one major war every 100 years. now it’s about time. It’s proven the people can never learn from history. So it’s time have some hopefully controlled chaos, to remind people we shouldn’t take peace as granted.
NBullshit News
Don’t watch it then
Military industrial complex wants to start a war with Iran. War means money.😏
Egypt doesn’t want the terrorists either.
Ok slave of the establishment
Sad to see that The Enemies of God are attacking Israel! Please Israel look up to the sky and cry out for CHRIST JESUS OF NAZARETH MESSIAH! God Almighty will save Israel from the destruction planned by Iran! God is good and ISRAEL WILL SURVIVE!
