The Calm Before the Storm | The Israel-Gaza War & Blockade
On October 7th, 2023, Hamas launched an attack into Israel from the Gaza Strip, kidnapping 250 people and killing 1,200 people. In response, Israel launched a devastating invasion of the Gaza Strip, that has displaced almost 2 million Palestinians, and killed over 30,000. The scale of destruction inflicted on Gaza led the ICJ to rule that the population of Gaza is at imminent risk of genocide.
A year before the Israel-Gaza war, I was cycling along the Israeli side of the Gaza border, close to the iron wall; the Israeli barrier that seals Gaza off from the outside world. This video covers the history of Gaza, Hamas, & the Israel-Gaza war, and the Israeli side of the Gaza border before the w...

    Nice video, thanks! Let me add that Shetland is a great place for traditional music: a huge répertoire of fiddle music of both scottish and scandinavian influence (Tom Anderson made a great job in collecting it), together with an outstanding tradition of accompaniment on the piano (Violet Tulloch and many others) and guitar (the regretted Willie "Peerie" Johnson). Memorable sessions take place e.g. at the Lounge Bar in Lerwick several times a week during the summer, and probably all over the year, and also in other places.

    My Dad is from near Caernarfon. He was born in 1907. Although all the village spoke Welsh to each other, it was banned in schools - the Welsh not where they would be caned for speaking their own language in their own country - probably the oldest language in Europe rather than the mish mash that is English. My Dad and his contemporaries were told that speaking Welsh was shameful and if you wanted to do anything with your life, you moved to England and tried to lose your accent. Dad moved to London and refused to teach me Welsh! The only time l heard it was when we were with Nain and Taid (granny and grandpa in saesneg) It carried on with all my Welsh friends moving to England. I remember the Llyn Celyn furore was going on! My Dad was so angry and Liverpool didn’t even need the water - they wanted to sell it on 😭😭😡😡

    I wonder what the reasoning was for deliberate 'managed decline'. I heard this was a strategy in the USA under Reagan. Like was it to get property prices down? Was it to try to destroy the organised working class? I can remember Liverpool council being slagged off at the time in the 80s. And the TV series Bread showed scousers as scroungers and blaggers.

    Hey man, I gotta say I really love seeing such an in-depth look at the issues in NI. I find a lot of far removed foreign countries tend to brush them off, and (at least as far as I’m aware from speaking with my English friends) its not taught or mentioned in schools across the pond, so the mainland don’t really have an understanding. Only thing I would say because its an image that stays with me from my time up in Belfast, is I would’ve liked if you had mentioned the rubber bullets used by the British armed forces and how gunfire in the streets was extremely common. I knew a fella in Belfast that gives tours now of the walls and such, he has a large dent in his head because he got hit by one of those rubber bullets on his way to pick up bread for his mother. The fights weren’t always just bombings and protests, sometimes it was just people getting mouth that lend to a fight, or anything else really that would set one apart from another. For me, the tragic part in learning about everything is all the civilian casualties. I believe both side were right to their opinion, even if I agree with one more than the other, but if innocent before are dying, I draw the line. To me, while it might’ve been for a “good cause” both sides were the bad guys, it just depends on which group you agreed with. Really love the video man, honestly cannot express how much I love the fact you took such a keen interest and decided to make a great video. Keep up the good work. 🤘🏻

    I was born in the USSR, in a country where there wasn’t even toilet paper, oh yes, it was probably in the sausage 😄 you know that Soviet people used to say ( kind of joke) that the sausage was made from toilet paper. It was like North Korea now, nothing for the people, but everything for the war and party officials. Country of repression and genocide, I hate it. I sympathize with East Germany, which was robbed by the Soviet Union, because it is no secret to anyone, all scientists, all enterprises and equipment, valuables were taken to the Soviet Union, which pursued a colonial policy using “colonies” for raw materials and power. And when the Soviet Union collapsed and it was announced on the radio, all the people ran out into the street, danced and rejoiced, it was a great joy for the people that this monster had finally died. But now there a tendency towards nostalgia for that time. Propaganda and we know which way the wind is blowing.

    Scouse or not, you still have to pay taxes and if the Russians ever nuked the UK, Liverpool would turn to ash just as quickly as any other city. But that said, there still exists a sense of parochial alienation from England which is hard to put one's finger on. It's more a state of mind than anything else. It kinda feels like we're a totally different tribe of people who are just long-leasing a patch of land from the English.....if that makes any sense? We're conscious of our geographical obligations and there's many lads n lasses who happily serve the UK military with a sense of pride and dedication.....so we DO know what side our bread's buttered on, when push comes to shove. It takes "all sorts" to make a world, and to make a country also. I think scousers just feel very rooted and secure in their own parochial history and traditions.....so they don't really look to "England" for their sense of identity......perhaps quite as much as other cities do. It's a very "self-perpetuating" outlook which seems to be handed down from one generation to the next.

    Try looking at it this way! As NATO needed to fight the Cold War each member provided forces under the Status of Forces Agreement each nation providing forces was given a bite of the big German Apple and with it the rewards of commercial contracts and “defence contracts” plus training areas! At its peak 26,000 British servicemen were deployed and most of them from BAOR (British Army of the Rhine) creating a shortfall in defensive cover which was taken over by the USA and commensurately under the SOFA got the rewards from the up and coming Bundes Republic Deutchland. About this time a considerable amount of sophisticated weaponry started appearing on the IRA/INLA side all American Manufactured and “supplied” arguably by Gadahfi and Libya but this was only a fraction of what was coming over, There was also a considerable amount of Drugs and Money circulating and it became the go to place to channel both, it stopped being a conflict of religion or civil rights around about 1970 when someone in the US could see a financial opportunity
