Elon Musk uses common sense logic to make a point about the situation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and how Israel is committing genocide against a people who have lived there for thousands of years. The point is, what would you do if you had to live in a situation like that?
00:00:55.740Now, that neck of the woods, they really believe in the whole eye for an eye thing.
00:00:59.640Um, but, I mean, you really have, if you're not going to just outright commit genocide, like against an entire people, which obviously would not be acceptable to, to, to really shouldn't be acceptable to anyone, um, then you're going to leave basically a lot of people alive who subsequently, you know, hate Israel.
00:01:22.840So, really the question is like, how, for, for every Hamas member that you kill, how many did you create?
00:01:30.620And if you create more than you killed, you've not succeeded.
00:01:34.460That's the, you know, the real situation there.
00:01:36.620Um, and it's safe to say that if, you know, um, if, you know, if, you know, if, if you kill somebody's child in Gaza, if you've, you've made at least a few, uh, Hamas members.
00:01:55.040You heard for himself, it's very common basic logic, which is what, if you are going to go and terrorize, steal the lands of these people, these people who have lived there for thousands of years, with the Jews and the Christians in peace.
00:02:09.580If you come there, steal their land, persecute them, bully them, take away the kids, lock them up, blow the kids, blow them and their families into pieces, cut the electric, gas, water.
00:02:22.300What do you think any group of people or nation will do?
00:02:27.140Which the UN has given them a right, which is what?
00:02:29.380That they have a right to armed resistance.
00:02:32.720This is something that a UN official has said, not myself.
00:02:35.800So, Elon Musk is saying the same thing.
00:02:38.280Now, let's go to certain individuals, like US generals and individuals who have served in the army.
00:02:44.200Top US generals have pointed out that drone strikes make us less safe rather than safer.
00:02:49.700Former head of Drone Specialist Operations Commander Stanley McChrystal has also pointed out that careless use of drone strikes could result in a suicide attack in Central Park.
00:03:02.200A report carried out in 2014 by General John Abizade reported that civiling casualties from drone strikes can affect whole communities and become a potent recruiting tool for terrorist organizations.
00:03:14.840General Michael Flynn stated to Mahdi Hassan in 2015, when you drop a bomb from a drone, you're investing.
00:03:26.060You're going to cause more damage than good.
00:03:28.760Former CIA counter-terrorism officer Robert Grenier has admitted that a drone strike creates more enemies than you are removing from the battlefield.
00:03:39.460And drone operators have reported themselves that this only fuels the feelings of hatred that ignite terrorism and groups like ISIS.
00:03:53.720A study of Bureau of Investigative Journalism found that drone strikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia since 2004 may have killed up the 1,400 civilians including more than 200 children.
00:04:04.460The point is what? I want you guys to put yourself in their shoes or anyone's shoes for that matter.
00:04:11.080Imagine I come to your house, occupy your house, cause you to live in the toilet, humiliate you every morning, cut your water, electric, gas, whatever it may be for that matter.
00:04:21.320Massacre your kids, blow them into pieces and persecute you day in, day out.
00:04:25.680And this is not just happening in the Gaza Strip, this is happening in the West Bank, where over 140 individuals, 140 Palestinians have been killed.
00:04:34.420So the point is what? Use this logic vice versa.
00:04:38.500Imagine Israel is in Gaza, and the Palestinians are doing the same thing to the Israelis, and the Jews, and Zionists for that matter.
00:04:48.580Imagine the same thing being done, vice versa.
00:04:52.820What do you think would happen? What do you think the Western media would say?
