Excellent show...what that man went through in the gulag. We can’t imagine.

But if the mainstream media speaks poorly of us, then we know we are doing well.

I wonder about the other side of what is going on in Israel.

That there is a mutual distain for the present government. And that I have heard from those living in Israel.

That there is in fact genocide going on in Gaza at the hands of the IDF... 10s of thousands of civilians being killed.

That Palestinian farmers and Christians are poorly treated in Israel.

And that much of what was reported in the initial attack on Israel has been discounted.

Perhaps you can report on some opposing views.

There is no genocide in the Gaza Strip. There is a war with terrorists there. Genocide is only in the minds of those who listen to pro-Hamas propaganda and blindly believe it.

No indiscriminate bombing, no indiscriminate shooting. Body cameras of IDF soldiers show that the shooting is carried out at armed terrorists. No operation is carried out without consultation with lawyers in international law.

What other army in the world wages war using more legal methods and observing all international rules?

Hamas is hiding behind civilians. Hamas shoots its citizens. Hamas does not allow civilians to leave areas where fighting is taking place.

And most importantly, Hamas is lying about tens of thousands of civilians killed. Hamas considers terrorists to be civilians. Hamas terrorists work as journalists in the media, Hamas terrorists work as UNRWA workers.

Will you continue to talk about genocide?

So how do you know what is true? Or is it just who you trust?

The US media is the top propaganda machine in the world. Might Israel be also.

Firstly, I have been studying the conflict for decades and following all sides. Secondly, I served in the army (not Israeli) and I understand what happens when they fight. Thirdly, I have many sources from the very places where everything happens.

And fourthly, I don’t need to believe, I have a very long cause-and-effect chain of facts, events and statements that give me the opportunity to write what I wrote and hold responsibility for every word I write.

Did I answer clearly enough?

Sure… you need to get yourself a Substack page. Get the word out.

Also do you think the Palestinians are well treated within the borders of Israel and West Bank and how is Netanyahu and the government perceived by the citizens of Israel?

In Israel, Arabs do not call themselves Palestinians. They are the same citizens as Jews, Druze, Circassians, Samaritans and many other nationalities who live in Israel. They have the same rights as all citizens and work in all areas. Arabs living in the West Bank are in a different jurisdiction.

Israeli citizens treat Netanyahu and the government the same as in any other democratic country. There are supporters and there are opponents. It is wrong to demonize him, as all the media are doing now, because anyone else in his place would have done much the same. But he has shortcomings that get worse every year and make him an unpopular politician.
