and didn’t help us in Afghanistan after 911. i was there. never saw a jew
Too little.
@@ericmac8110well you killed over a million people in Afghanistan, raped, tortured and massacred so many children and women , occupied their land illegally for 20 years.
@@CEO786and plenty of them in the US Army were Jews it’s just the Army is funny about them wearing their yamakas in Star of David on their uniforms.
Ironic that the only democratic institution arab countries support is the UN . Arab countries don’t believe in democracy in their own countries 😂
Does that change the fact that Israel is targeting civilians in Gaza using weapons and technology supplied by western countries? If not, then you’re just spewing whataboutism
The funny thing is that the reason for all of that is the United States has literally overthrown every nation in the region and most of them at the time that it happened had democratic governments with equal rights among all citizens and voting rights even. But then the United States overthrew all of their governments and murdered all of their democratically elected leaders and put Theocratic psychos in their place. And now the group of them are recovered after Decades of occupation and oppression and are finally able to begin turning against the nation that has completely destroyed the peace in the middle east.
USA sent Israel 21,000 precise guided bombs and they’ve caused so little damage?
The IDF are incompetent, but Gaza has been completely destroyed. So, no idea what _little_ means to you.
You must blind or asleep

@@oye4511 it’s not illegal. The same way Iran can supply weapons to the houthis in Yemen. The same way the united States could provide Saudi Arabia with weapons in Yemen and the same way Russia could provide weapons to the north Vietnamese during Vietnam war is because it’s not illegal.
Only thing that’s illegal is to provide weapons to designated terrorist organizations.@@oye4511
Dismantle united nation, for what this organisation? Is really useless!!!
By not demanding an immediate cease-fire, and not doing anything about the United States ability to veto a ceasefire, they are committing a crime themselves and should be held accountable.
it is the war who start it ? start the war has consequence do humanitarian law allow hostage taken ?
Israel in 1937
@@marcusdosh408uk, 1918
Humanitarian law not only allows for taking hostages but it also allows for violent resistance two illegal occupation genocide ethnic cleansing and Collective punishment. Every action Israel has taken has been against Palestinian civilians in retribution for internationally legal Rebel militant resistance actions against them.
THEY ALL HELPING ISREAL TO COMMITE THIS GENOCIDE
Israel has been Occupying Palestinian Territory for 57 years and Can NOT claim self-defense
If you weapons to Russia 🇷🇺 you are bad country. But US to send weapons to kill children that’s normal!!! Which world are we living in?
Iran and Russia supplies billions of weapons into its proxies to wreak havoc in the middle east. So what’s the problem with US supplying Israel?
Russia is supporting the native populations of the Middle East with arms to remove Western European white forces from the Middle East because they have no right or reason to be there. The US and Israel are those white European Western forces that need to leave because they’re not from there. And if Israel has their nose bent out of shape because Russia is helping Middle Eastern countries get them out of the Middle East then maybe they should not have supported Ukraine’s last invasion of Russia or the South African apartheid government
Aj, please can you report on those protesting in Gaza against Hamas? We want to hear more please.
Where about the urkaine people protesting
Have the same ego to tell Iran supplying missiles to Russia.
Iran is selling weapons to Russia, but Russia is not committing a genocide, ethnic cleansing, illegal occupation, forced relocation, and denial of basic human rights to anyone.
Iran can do it without criticism but none else can !!!
How can anything the UN says be taken seriously.
Iran can do it because it is within international law for them to provide Yemen and the houthi rebels with arms and ammunition in order to Aid them in their legal and moral fight against Israeli illegal occupation, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and Collective punishment. It is their legal obligation to provide weapons for the resistance of crimes. But I do agree with you, there are so many reasons why the un can’t be taken seriously including not taking actions to enforce their own laws by stopping Israel from committing genocide ethnic cleansing and Collective punishment on the people they are morally obligated to care for under an illegal extended occupation. Everything is real has done is just the opposite.
Typical he doesn’t want to admit that US and Britain are directly responsible for the war in Gaza by supplying arms to Isreal.
As result both countries are actually in breach of international law and responsible for genocide.
There is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Schools, Mosques and UNRWA is running out of ammunition.
Good.

Do ask Sean he’s as bad as micheal 😂
Has this “advisor” even LOOKED at Burma in the last 4 years? Human rights violations are pouring out of that country with ZERO EFFORT FROM THE WEST

Yes Sean, The US supports Israels existence .
Deport Israel back to Germany so peace can return to the Middle East
Palestine has a right to defend itself
And Israel does NOT…in occupied territory. By using this guy as a guest, Al Jazeera intentionally deceived it’s viewers…making them assume that Israel has some right to wage this war in Gaza. That’s a blatant lie.
If you think Hamas was defending anything on October 7th, you’re a deranged psychopath.

Does this include weapons to Ukraine🤔
The name children of Israel mentioned in the Quran 20 odd times
The name children of Palestinian mentioned in the Quran 0 times!
Israel was first, cast closed 😊
The 1500yrs in between seems to have complicated things somewhat.
Isn’t it funny that zionists are so insecure about their place in the world that they have to pretend that they don’t know the Palestinians are mentioned 260 times in the Bible? The fact is the word is mentioned in Egyptian writings as early as the 12th century bce, which happens to be before the Hebrew Bible was written. I also find it quite interesting that they also can’t understand the Quran mentioning the Israeli people and not the Israeli Homeland because Israel is a group of people that practice a religion, not a race of people that came from a specific Nation. They were Egyptians living under the control of pharaohs. It was never a kingdom of israel, not in the Middle East and not in Egypt either. They were driven out of Egypt by the Pharaohs that ruled IE Moses, then persecuted and crucified ie jesus, by the Greeks and Romans that ruled them in Palestine. Their King was the king of people, not a king with borders. The Jews have always been slaves without their own Nation throughout their existence. And they still don’t have a nation of their own because they are just a foreign Colonial experiment that is rapidly crashing and burning. The name Palestine comes from the ancient Greek when they described the people of this region using the word which translates into occupied people. By the time the Romans came into town Palestine came into General use to describe the area and all of her people regardless of what religion they practiced. When arabic speaking people migrated to the region the word fell out of use because it was foreign to Arab speaking people and came back into use in 1917, when the Ottoman Empire fell to white Western Europeans in their quest to revitalize the biblical narrative that would allow them to cleanse millions of Jews from Europe after World War II when they were finally released from concentration camps that they had been left in to starve and be exterminated without a single attempt at Rescue by Allied forces. When all of those Jews were finally released from concentration camps none of these white Western Christians wanted to return their homes and properties to them and took advantage of the situation to commit a soft ethnic cleansing of poor homeless undesirable Jews from Europe
It does not violate just Human Rights law, it violates the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide .
It breaches Article III (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; and (e) Complicity in genocide.
…and Hamas was doing exactly that.
@@patrickquine3945 Firstly Hamas is not a state nor is it a signatory to the Genocide convention.
Secondly Israel has illegally occupied Palestine from long before there even was a Hamas, so take your excuses elsewhere.
@toddb9313 Hamas is the elected political power in Gaza. And human rights laws apply to everyone. Why do you work so hard to avoid condemning the actions of a fascist death cult ? And you have the gall to accuse me of making excuses ? 😂
I believe Netanyahu’s coalition government is guilty of war crimes btw. See how easy it is to be a moral person ? And of course I can’t help but notice you have zero problem with Britain’s other colonial creation, Jordan. What a shock.
@@patrickquine3945I’m wondering how long it’s going to be before you realize you’re talking to yourself because the rest of the world sees through this BS that you’re trying to convince yourself of. You have absolutely no argument and the people you are speaking to know your game.
@decolonizeEverywhere I’m not here supporting Israel. Netanyahu’s coalition of right wing psychos are guilty of war crimes. I’m here to tell people like you that you don’t belong on the left. You support causes and organizations that are fundamentally opposed to anti-racism, anti-colonialism and any kind of progressive ideals. Take your race war b.s. and shove it where the sun don’t shine.
Did he say “not at all”?!?!?! His response implies that the US is defending itself by supplying Israel. USrael.
Bigotry world we live in
There is no use just wasting time people are suffering in Gaza
US is complicit with Israel in Genocide of Palestinians.
The law is what the US says it is. Don’t do what the US does, do what it says. The world has promoted and allowed the US to become the global dictator.
Thanks for the humanitarian men and women that fight against the genocide made by Netanahju ,Galant ,Ganz .
Even many had lost their own lives

THis guy is a bullshitter. Israel does NOT have the right to wage military attacks in occupied territory. That is made absolutely clear in the Geneva Conventions. THis guy knows nothing about international law….or is just a suckup to |srael, ….and obviously makes money selling weapons and such. I don’t know why Al Jazeera would ever choose such a person to comment on this topic. This was intentional deception.
ISRAEL IS AN OCCUPY COUNTRY!
IT’S OCCUPAYING PALESTINIAN LAND BY FORCE!
THEREFORE ISRAEL HAS NOT RIGHT TO DEFEND. IT’S SELF!
PALESTINIANS HAVE THE RIGH TO RESIST THEY OCCUPY COUNTRY ALSO IF IS NECESSARY!
HOW WE BEEN SEEING !
PALESTINIAN RESISTENCT PROTECT WOMENS& CHILDREN’S!
WE DID SEE THAT WITH OUR OWN EYES!
THEY DID PROTECT THE ISRAELI WOMENS & CHILDREN HOSTAGES!.
THEY DID TELL US HOW WELL THEY WAS TREATED BY THE PALESTINIAN RESISTENCT ” HAMAS”
America & Israel are breaching international law & should be called out
Take all those criminal colonialists to court!! US, UK, Canada and the EU
Wait til you find out why Arabic is spoken across so much of the world (pro tip – it was settler colonialism).
@@patrickquine3945the reason why Arabic is spoken in so many nations around the world is because the United States the UK and the European nations have managed to create millions and millions of refugees from all of the Muslim nations that they have invaded and destroyed over the last 30 years.

You should also criticise those who gave weapons, rockets to Hamas that started the sufferings of ordinary Palestinians
The oppressed has every right to fight for their independence
@@MudThought yeah. And same thing with war, one wants to win it
Palestine is obligated by international law to resist illegal occupation, they are called freedom fighters, stop believing propaganda, Palestine has no army, your a racist.
@@raf988you think this is some kind of survival contest between European jews and Palestinians?

OF COURSE IT DOES! Charge the US with complicity in genocide!
🇺🇸❤️🇮🇱
You definitely deflected that question American government will be held accountable for supplying of weapons of destruction on innocent people
10/7 was on occupied territory it seems… defense claims don’t make sense
Just wondering, does Palestine have a right to defend itself?
If you think Hamas was defending anything on October 7th, you’re a delusional psychopath.
@@patrickquine3945do you get paid in rupees or Joe Biden commemorative coins?
@decolonizeEverywhere Oh please Mr. Anti Racist – tell me more about how the Houthis who literally own black slaves are freedom fighters cause they shot rockets at a shipping vessel.
That means it’s American war against Palestinian people ?
US/UK ARE THE REAL RING LEADER OF THE ZIONIST EMPIRE
The US and UK governments are a giant front for the actual Zionist movement that really controls things. Israel is just a convenient Outpost for them to go about their business of controlling the world’s resources and cash.
War crimes against America 🇺🇸 government against Gaza people
Your narration of The United States of AMERICA is not in breach of International Law is ludicrous, ISRAEL is the OCCUPIER in Gaza.
The Palestinian is defending Gaza by GENOCIDE being carried by Israel with the Bombs, military hardwares supplied by The USA.
THE OBVIOUS IS SO OBVIOUS IN REALITY IN GAZA
This guys analysis is black and white. Sean bell, this is a complex situation. Shame on you for being so robotic and heartless
Doesn’t it offend you when Iran supplies weapons to terrorists?
It would if they did. But what really offends me is the United States supplying weapons ammunition and cash to terrorist israel. And if you want to compare who’s a terrorist and who’s not keep in mind that the UK and United States are the only two Nations that have designated houthis actions as terrorism, whereas the Israeli government, her citizens, and 58 other Israeli organizations have been designated as terrorist organizations I’m more than 100 other nations. In reality there have been no charges against two thieves in the UN or any of the international criminal courts because what they are doing is exactly what they are supposed to be doing in order to prevent the ongoing genocide by Israel and the United States and UK against Palestine in gaza.
European governments shouldn’t walk away from the problem they created to Palestine and Palestinian people.
European governments 1921 settled Israeli from Europe to Palestine without regards of Palestinian people.
Actually Yemeni Jews, completely separate from European Zionism, started settling there as early as the 1880s, which brought them into conflict with the (then very young) Arab nationalist movement. 1920, the year before you start telling the story, was actually one of the worst years of violence.
Britain inherited a powder keg. And their solution was to divide Palestine in two – everything east of the river was given to the Hashemites and became Jordan (which you’ll notice no one ever had a problem with) and everything west of the river was intended to be given to the equally young Jewish nationalist movement (aka Zionism). Realizing this would result in civil war, they decided to maintain political control over Palestine until eventually deciding to pass the buck to the UN, who gave the country to the Zionists.
The Jews of Arabian could not have impacted the lives if Palestinians people as they were just in few thousands.
The Zionist Harzet movement for settling Europe Jews to Palestine had in the mind the plan of Palestine with free Palestinian people. What is happening in Gaza is creating Gaza unlivable conditions to exiles Palestinian people.
they certianlly do! tried that on oct 7. that is working out how?
Actually the change that should be made in UN is that a secret leader must be appointed to make important decisions with just mind that don’t show partiality towards others
Alright because we don’t have enough men in suits sitting in rooms where we don’t know what they’re doing and can’t control how they spend our money.
@@decolonizeEverywhere If you’d put a little effort into informing yourself, you might have a clue how the UN works.
@@patrickquine3945 and really, when your argument is so weak you should just re-educate yourself.
@decolonizeEverywhere My “argument” being what exactly ? You’re a bot. Enjoy being a puppet.
@@patrickquine3945 I’ll repeat my response to this since it’s so conveniently disappeared….
I said I know perfectly well how the UN works which is basically a bunch of Men Behind Closed Doors doing whatever they want to with our money and with no input or knowledge for us. Putting More men behind closed doors where we don’t know what they’re doing is not the answer to not knowing what they’re doing. Having all of it out in the sunshine is the only answer to people committing crimes in covert back rooms with people who are our enemies. But you know what I said because you responded to it. Just saying it again so everyone else can see that you have no argument, just copy paste statements in return for rupees or maybe Joe Biden commemorative coins.

Stop Holocaust of Gaza. Biden is committing Holocaust of Gaza arreast him immediately by ICJ
Israel is the Boss committing Holocaust of Gaza World is the slaves of ZIONIST.
Born and raised in a long standing concentration camp, exactly what do you expect the inmates’ reactions to be? Really. Whether Hamas et al’s actions were moral or “correct” is a question that is not easily parsed. The real question is what are the conditions behind such an action seeming necessary? Who caused the conditions? Occupied people have a right, under international law, to resist. -weezi
The Americans should being seeing what their government is helping Israel commit. American traditional media is not showing the genocide of Palestinians taking place.
When Blinken talks you think he represents Israel. Fire him.
The USA is the biggest supplier of weapons to all the wars in the world.. The State that terrorized most of the world – USA, a terrorist State.
I think Israel has gone mad, but Iran and Putin behind the original attacks to set this all of 😢.
Nothing like the UK, US, Germany and Canada supplying weapons for terrorist Netanyahu’s Genocide, all these leaders belong in prison
Aipac buys all American senators and congressman
by donating to their election campains, they spend maybe like $50m to $100m dollars in one election circle. Isreal gets about $4b a year and soon will get $14b soon. thats what i called a good return on your investment. Also with that they are told u must support isreal at all cost even against their own country the united states. Amazinlly the polititians have no money to improve the life of its people but they always have money for Isreal and waging wars around the globe.i voted democrat all the time but in my opinion the are worst than republicans. in this election vote all democrats out then maybe finally they might change and represent the interests of the people who voted them in instead of those who are buying them
Unfortunately, some “British” politicians are controlled by Zionists and should be deported to Israel
