Hassan Abi's commentary on the current situation in Gaza and why it's so important to have a political commentator on the show to give his perspective on the situation. Also, I talk about why I don't think it's a good thing that Israel has a nuclear arsenal, and why we should all be worried about it. I also talk about what's going on in the rest of the world and why you should be too. I also give a brief history of the situation and why I think this situation is so bad and why the situation needs to be dealt with in a very real and immediate way.

00:15:43.000Instead, they have bear hugged Benjamin Netanyahu, as Joe Biden did, and has consistently funneled weapons into Israel so they can continue doing their bidding, to continue doing their genocide.
00:16:09.000At first, we thought living in our village would be OK, because the Israelis used to hit just as well.
00:16:15.000We're going to listen to a little bit of what Hassan is saying, and then we're going to go into...
00:16:18.000I'm going to go ahead and kind of give you guys a whole background on what's going on here and why this is super important, why people need to know this stuff, OK? I suspect that, and I said this yesterday as well, like, there are two grave threats to Israel's existence, right?
00:16:36.000And it's not fucking Iran or Hezbollah or Hamas or anything like that, okay?
00:16:42.000The greatest threat to Israel's existence is Israelis themselves being like, yeah, fuck this shit.
00:17:20.000When that happens, when that remains, when more and more liberal Israelis, who are themselves most likely bloodthirsty as well, in terms of how Israel is dealt with Gaza or whatever, but they don't like the negative consequences of Israel doing that, which is like...
00:17:39.000The Iron Dome and its security perishing.
00:17:43.000The veil of security that the Iron Dome has created going away when you got motherfucking hypersonic missiles coming from Ansarallah into fucking Israeli territory.
00:17:56.000You are left with a country that is packed to the fucking gills with the most inbred, uneducated, ultra-nationalist, rabid Haredi population, and like, I don't know, a couple handful of fucking, you know, a handful, the Haredi population, the ultra-nationalist, like Itamar Ben-Givir-style losers, Okay?
00:18:22.000And like a handful of Russian dudes, okay?
00:18:25.000With no real connection to Judaism whatsoever that aren't Jewish but are just Israeli citizens now.
00:18:56.000I wanted you guys to kind of get an idea because this is actually one of the few things that me and Hassan actually agree on is our stance with Israel.
00:19:06.000We probably disagree on almost everything else.
00:19:09.000You know, and obviously he's a left-wing political commentator.
00:19:12.000I'm more of a right-wing political commentator.
00:19:13.000But let me go ahead and give you guys my analysis because he doesn't really go into, number one, how he got here.
00:19:21.000And number two, what's going to happen in the future?
00:19:24.000So I'm going to kind of make this very basic because I understand that a lot of people that are watching this stream right now aren't from the Middle East, aren't aware of the Middle East, don't understand that part of the world, etc.
00:19:36.000So what you got going on right now, guys, is a conflict Oh, here in the Middle East.
00:22:59.000For as no seven stream streak, shout out to you.
00:23:01.000I'm glad that you guys are getting used to watching us on here.
00:23:04.000And by the way, guys, you know, if someone has a bunch of ads, go ahead and gift them a sub so they can watch this without any type of, you know...
00:23:16.000Anyway, so this was the address that he had, and obviously we went over who he is.
00:23:29.000Hezbollah, guys, is a Lebanese Shia Islamist political party and paramilitary group led since 1992 by Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah.
00:23:38.000This is the leader of Hezbollah, by the way, which, you know, if you guys have been watching my streams as of late, I've went over this before, but I know that there's new people constantly watching the stream, might not be aware, so I always kind of start things from the beginning.
00:23:49.000Hezbollah's paramilitary wing is the Jihad Council, and its political wing is the loyalty to the resistance bloc party in the Lebanese parliament.
00:23:55.000Either the entire organization or only its military wing has been designated as a terrorist organization by a number of countries.
00:24:01.000And I think it's important for you guys to understand that the United States has designated these guys as a terrorist organization.
00:24:06.000I actually did a Fed Reacts on this, by the way.
00:24:10.000Where I broke down a case that the FBI did back in the 90s, if I'm not mistaken, where they busted a Hezbollah cell out of North Carolina that was actually selling cigarettes.
00:24:21.000They were cigarette smuggling, making millions of dollars.
00:25:23.000And again, I'm really sorry for those of you that might have tuned in yesterday and saw the covers that we did on this with Fresh and Fit News.
00:25:30.000And some of you guys that are watching that might not know.
00:25:33.000So I'm going to give the TLDR version.
00:25:35.000I'm not going to give the super detailed version like we did last night.
00:25:39.000Several days ago, a bunch of members of Hezbollah were, you know, were blown to smithereens.
00:25:48.000A couple of them were killed with beepers and pagers.
00:25:51.000And what ended up happening was this ended up becoming a successful operation led by the Israeli organization, intelligence agency, these guys right here, Unit 8200, okay?
00:26:09.000This is a component of the IDF, one of their higher side intelligence components.
00:26:16.000These guys ran an operation where they had a bunch of these pagers that they knew were gonna go into Lebanon, and what they did was they built explosives in the fucking pagers, guys.
00:26:39.000They put bombs in the pagers, and what they did was, which is extremely clever, I gotta give Israel its credit here, this was a very clever intelligence operation.
00:26:51.000They were able to get these pagers and beepers to all explode at the same time, taking out several members of Hezbollah.
00:27:00.000However, when they They detonated these pagers.
00:27:04.000A lot of these members were in grocery stores, driving out in the street, etc.
00:27:10.000So there were some innocent people that were killed.
00:27:12.000I think two children were killed in the explosions.
00:27:19.000Israel went ahead and took credit for it.
00:27:21.000Then the next day, they detonated even more of these pagers.
00:27:29.000And they went ahead and traced it back and they figured out that basically they built the bombs into these pagers and they came from Hungary.
00:27:36.000And they were destined for Lebanon and Israel was able to go ahead and conduct a successful intelligence operation.
00:27:44.000Obviously, for Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, this was a huge embarrassment, big failure, and he basically vowed that northern Israel Would continue to be under siege.
00:27:59.000And for those of you that are unaware, they've pretty much had to evacuate northern Israel, guys.
00:28:04.00060,000 Israelis have been moved to central and southern Israel, closer to Tel Aviv, right?
00:28:14.000To get away from the barrage of rockets that Hezbollah has been sending into north Israel.
00:28:20.000And they've been doing this since October 8th, guys.
00:28:22.000And the reason why they've been doing this is for a strategic reason.
00:28:26.000So, as you guys know, the IDF was mobilizing on Gaza after October 7th, right?
00:30:00.000Their intelligence agencies are what get them ahead, not their actual military.
00:30:05.000And as a matter of fact, Israel has fought Hezbollah in the past, and they lost on a ground assault back in 2006.
00:30:11.000So, You can imagine the enormous amount of strain for the IDF to fight a war on two different fronts, here in Gaza and also here in the north.
00:30:21.000Now that Israel has completed its, I guess, ground assault on Gaza and wrapped up Rafa, right, and Dismembered most of Hamas.
00:30:35.000Now they're focusing their attention to the north.
00:30:39.000And here we are now with what's going on in Lebanon.
00:32:23.000And I'm just honored that you guys would trust me to give you guys this information and teach you guys this stuff because this is really important stuff, guys.
00:32:33.000A critical component to male self-improvement is understanding the world around you, understanding geopolitical ramifications, and being able to make intelligent decisions on what's going on in the world.
00:32:47.000Self-improvement is being aware and not living under a rock.
00:32:51.000We're going to get you guys in shape, get you guys attractive, get you guys healthy, and get your guys mind right so you know what's going on around you.
00:32:59.000This stuff is very important, especially when it has the serious implications that I'm going to talk about later on in this broadcast.
00:33:07.000Hezbollah and Israel have been clashing along the southern Lebanese border since October 8th after Hezbollah started attacking to stop Israel's war on Gaza.
00:33:36.000It's been ongoing for almost 50 years.
00:33:39.000Back in 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon after attacks by the Palestine- So this goes back guys all the way to 1982, when Israel invaded Lebanon.
00:33:48.000Attacked by the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
00:33:51.000Shout out to RealDiglets300Bits, Ace Master, Zombie Slayer, Man's Like Danny.
00:33:56.000Shout out to you guys for joining and following the channel.
00:34:15.000Hezbollah was formed to drive Israeli forces out of Lebanon.
00:34:18.000The fighting escalated, and in 1983, a series of bombings hit foreign troops in Beirut, killing over 300 peacekeepers, and Hezbollah was believed to be involved.
00:34:28.000By 1985, Hezbollah's power grew, and they forced Israel to pull back, creating a security zone controlled by a group allied with Israel.
00:34:36.000In 1992, after Lebanon's civil war, Hezbollah officially entered politics.
00:34:41.000And today, they hold significant seats in the parliament.
00:34:45.000On Tuesday evening, for almost 50 years, Bula was formed to drive Israeli forces out.
00:34:53.000In 1985, Hezbollah's own control by a group allied with Israel.
00:34:57.000In 1992, after Lebanon's civil war, Hezbollah officially entered politics.
00:35:03.000And today, they hold significant seats in the parliament.
00:35:06.000But the conflict kept escalating, like in 1993 when Israel launched the seven-day war in response to Hezbollah attacks, leaving many civilians dead.
00:35:15.000Then, in 1996, Israel launched Operation Grapes of Wrath to put- If I'm not mistaken, 1996 guys, I think is when Benjamin Netanyahu took power.
00:35:46.000So, in the 1996 general election, Netanyahu became the first Israeli Prime Minister elected directly by a popular vote and its youngest.
00:35:51.000Netanyahu was defeated in the 1999 election, retired from politics, entering the private sector.
00:35:55.000He returned to serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Finance, initiating economic reforms, before resigning over the Gaza disengagement plan.
00:36:04.000So, and then he ended up coming back later on, and he's been in power for a very long time.
00:37:31.000Hezbollah carried out a raid inside Israel, which triggered the July War, a 34-day conflict that left over 1,200 Lebanese dead.
00:37:39.000Hezbollah continued to evolve, and by 2009, they issued a new manifesto, committing to Lebanon's political system and moving away from sectarianism.
00:37:48.000They also got involved in Syria's civil war in 2012, siding with the Assad regime.
00:37:53.000By October 2023, they began firing rockets into Israel to show support for Gaza, and this led to mass displacement in Lebanon.
00:38:01.000Most recently, on September 17, 2024, thousands of Hezbollah members' pagers exploded, injuring nearly 2,750 people and killing 11.
00:41:40.000And, you know, guys, thank you so much for kind of joining us in this, you know, endeavor with growing on Twitch and trying to, you know, obviously Rumble is still home-based.
00:42:26.000So, we're going to be switching on over here very soon.
00:42:29.000The Biden administration says it's pushing for a diplomatic solution to end the escalating attacks between Hezbollah and Israel, but judging from the tensions here on the ground, no one seems to be listening.
00:42:42.000Can somebody give I Show Courage a sub, guys?
00:43:41.000let's look him up real quick because I think it's important to know who some of these individuals are Ibrahim Akil okay Ibrahim Akil also known as Al-Hajj Tashin or Tashin
00:44:03.000Okay, and he's been there since the beginning, guys.
00:45:18.000The war's center of gravity is now moving north, away from Hamas and towards Hezbollah, where ongoing clashes have forced nearly 70,000 Israelis to flee.
00:45:29.000We will safely return the residents to their homes, Israel's army chief of staff said today.
00:45:39.000If Hezbollah did not understand this, it will receive a blow and another blow until it understands.
00:45:46.000But Israel hasn't forgotten about Hamas and Gaza.
00:45:50.000Today, a school where hundreds of people were sheltering was struck west of Gaza City.
00:45:55.000This just a day after the Hamas-run health ministry said a strike on another school left at least 22 dead.
00:46:03.000Half of them children, one of them a pregnant woman.
00:46:06.000Israel said the school had been turned into a Hamas command center.
00:46:11.000And in the occupied West Bank, during a live broadcast, Israeli forces shut down the Ramallah...
00:46:18.000Yeah, they shut down the Ramallah Al Jazeera, bro.
00:47:27.000Very ethnically rich, very religiously rich.
00:47:30.000You've got a lot of Christians, a lot of Muslims, etc.
00:47:33.000It's the capital and largest city of Lebanon.
00:47:36.000As of 2014, Greater Beirut has a population of 2.5 million, which makes it the third largest city in the Levant region and the 13th largest in the Arab world.
00:47:45.000The city is situated on a peninsula at the midpoint of Lebanon's Mediterranean coast.
00:47:48.000Beirut has been inhabited for more than 5,000 years, making it one of the oldest cities in the world.
00:47:53.000Uh, 2.5 million, I think that's about the size of Boston.
00:49:16.000Which, by the way, guys, if you, like I said, if you got Amazon Prime, use Amazon Prime, sub for free.
00:49:23.000So, And then airlines are suspended flights to Beirut amid escalating tensions.
00:49:30.000Gulf Airlines, including Emirates and Qatar Airways, have temporarily suspended flights to Beirut as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah arise.
00:49:39.000Other carriers like Etihad Airways, Fly Dubai, Lufthansa, Air France, and Delta have also halted services to the region, citing safety concerns.
00:49:51.000Middle East Airlines flights are fully booked due to cancellations by other airlines.
00:50:37.000He urged the international community to prevent Lebanon from becoming another Gaza and called for immediate UN action against Israeli escalation.
00:54:37.000You know, because this is breaking news.
00:54:39.000Breaking 270 rockets fired in northern Israel from Lebanon.
00:54:43.000More than 270 rockets have been fired from Lebanon in northern Israel today, according to the IDF. So, guys, Lebanon's not taking this sitting down.
00:55:31.000Let's see what they've got to say in this situation, because, as you guys know, part of them got shut down in Israel.
00:55:36.000Let's speak to Hamda Salud, who's live for us in Amman, Jordan, because the Israeli government has banned Al Jazeera from reporting within Israel.
00:55:43.000So, Hamda, it now has a name, Operation Arrows of the North.
00:55:47.000What is Israel saying about its goals there?
00:55:54.000Well, the Israelis have maintained quite stern rhetoric.
00:55:57.000We've been hearing all day from Israeli officials like the Prime Minister, the Israeli Defense Minister, and the Army Chief of Staff.
00:56:04.000Though the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, emphasizing that Israel is not at war with the Lebanese people, but rather with Hezbollah and wants to change the way security is on the border, wants to change the rules of the game there.
00:56:19.000But it's worth mentioning that there were nearly 500 people killed Last I checked, guys, the number was at about 580 people killed in Lebanon.
01:03:07.000The center of gravity was shifting toward the north, and it comes just a week after Benjamin Netanyahu had announced that there was a fourth war goal added, a fourth agenda item that didn't relate to Gaza, that related to returning those evacuated Israelis back to those towns and settlements.
01:03:24.000Israeli defense officials all on Monday.
01:04:40.000He's, you know, very left-wing and I'm very right-wing.
01:04:45.000So, we disagree on a lot of different things, but I'd be happy to have a discussion with him because we agree on something very important, which is Israel.
01:05:45.000Only ask for a sub if you're a brokie.
01:05:47.000And then say thank you after the person gives you the sub.
01:05:50.000...blows that they only understand force.
01:05:53.000We're hearing a lot of the same rhetoric that was used with Palestinian fighting groups in Gaza, the use of human shields as well, when we do know that Israel repeatedly targets civilian infrastructure wherever they are carrying out these airstrikes.
01:06:07.000But for Israeli officials, they say that they are going to continue these intensified assaults on Lebanon until their goals are achieved.
01:06:16.000And just so you guys know, they bombed a bunch of farmland, right, in this area here, in southern Lebanon.
01:06:24.000One of the areas that they bombed was actually right here, like a little village area.
01:06:29.000And what Israel is saying, this is Eitarun, what Israel was saying is that they were bombing these locations because Hezbollah keeps rockets in homes, in garages, in residential areas.
01:06:43.000So what they're doing is they're bombing These locations to destroy the rocket capabilities of Hezbollah.
01:06:56.000It's what Israel is saying to justify these attacks on farmlands.
01:07:01.000For example, this area right here, bro.
01:08:24.000...is going to end up essentially in a huge diplomatic failure in the efforts to get a ceasefire in Gaza and now possibly attempts to de-escalate the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.
01:08:36.000There's no doubt that he ran out of time.
01:08:38.000And that was a tone of desperation on the part of a president who was able or should have been able.

01:09:59.000I think one of the funniest flubs from the American State Department was when they immediately recognized the new Venezuelan government, which...
01:11:11.000What Hamas did in October 8, after Netanyahu declared war on Gaza and began bombing Gaza, killing the first 300 people in Gaza, Hezbollah started bombing the Israel-occupied Lebanese territory of the Shab'ah farm.
01:11:32.000Hezbollah then, in October 8, restrained itself to its own occupied territories, Lebanese own occupied territories that are called Shab'ah Farm, that are in the south part of Lebanon.
01:11:44.000It's only after Israel retaliated against Hezbollah's various bases or various targets in South Lebanon that then we started seeing the clashes on the border.
01:11:56.000Marwan, stay with me for a second because I want to talk about comments that Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon had made when he was talking to our correspondent, Teresa Bowe at the UN General Assembly.
01:12:06.000She'd asked him about the raid in Al Jazeera's news bureau in the occupied West Bank.
01:12:14.000Israel is a democracy in the Middle East and yet it continues to shut down the offices of Al Jazeera in Israel and the occupied West Bank that is controlled by the Palestinian Authority.
01:12:29.000Unfortunately, Al Jazeera was involved with incitement.
01:12:33.000We got the legal experts to gather the information, to evaluate it, and to recommend that for 45 days, the activity of Al Jazeera will not be allowed.
01:12:43.000And we make a distinct line between reporting and inciting.
01:13:06.000Experts to gather information, to evaluate it and make recommendations.
01:13:11.000The critics, of course, are suggesting that the decision had actually already been made and it wouldn't have mattered what the experts found.
01:13:21.000Look, I mean, I can't help but laugh, right?
01:15:26.000We've been talking over the last few minutes about the speech that the Iranian president has made, and the consensus, at least amongst the correspondents and our analysts there that we've been talking to, is that it was a speech of moderation, that Masao Puseshkin was reaching out to the...
01:15:54.000There is one point that Marwan Beshara, our analyst, did make, and I want to ask you about this.
01:16:00.000In terms of the credibility of all of this, Masoud Pazeshkin said that Iran had never started a war.
01:16:06.000Marwan's point was that, of course, it does involve itself in the internal politics and the internal security situations of other countries through organizations like Hamas and through Hezbollah and the Houthis in Yemen.
01:16:21.000Does that endanger the credibility that Masush Pazeshkin is trying to present at the General Assembly?
01:16:31.000Sanjee ZX gave McGriddle a month's sub.
01:16:57.000Guys, not only does the United States unequivocally back Israel, so does the United Kingdom, so does France, so do all the Western countries, all the Western powers back Israel, which is why they're doing what they're doing, which I'm going to talk about this here in a second.
01:17:11.000There is this fundamental notion inside Iran that President Peshgian also mentioned in his speech, that the security in the region should be sort of built in, should not be outsourced.
01:17:24.000And for that purpose to be obtained, we need a sort of dynamism in which Security is guaranteed by direct involvement of the key players in the region.
01:17:36.000So on that, I think we could say that while the world is overwhelmingly concerned about the possibility of an all-out war scenario in the industry, Yeah, guys, don't get too crazy in the chat, man.
01:18:32.000These days, but also he referred to a long list of hostile activities by Israelis against the Islamic Republic, including the assassination of the Iranian top nuclear scientists, to assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, to cyber attacks.
01:18:51.000But still, what he tried to depict, I think, was the fact that at the time being, if you're looking for the fundamental cause of tensions in the region, you have to put your fingers to nowhere but the Israelis.
01:19:06.000And also added to that was that he asked for collective action.
01:19:11.000This is something very much common in the discourse of Iranian politicians.
01:19:15.000Somebody give Marco his hero sub, please.
01:19:19.000And their diplomatic affairs and other types of activities to coordinate a response against the Israeli regime, which knows basically no border, Bennett Cobb, too.
01:19:33.000By the way, if you guys ask for subs, I'm going to make fun of you and call you a brokie.
01:19:36.000But someone will probably give you a sub, you brokie.
01:19:39.000Possibility of consensus among the region and the extent to which this regional power could pave the way for further de-escalation, for elimination of the place.
01:20:20.000In foreign policy, we see that when he took the office this year, he talked about sort of change of foreign policy behaviour in which we are expecting new doors being opened and Iran's new trajectory of foreign policy in which they welcome a sort of interaction with East and West.
01:20:41.000So, he's trying to, I think, make a balance between East and West at the time, mate.
01:20:49.000Thank you very much indeed for being with us.
