    So you interview two former IDF soldiers without disclosing their past and call this journalism?
  • @Elmo93
    Hiring the former Media coordinator at the Consulate of Israel in New York is really unbiased….
  • @skeptic0cynic0
    DW “expert” was a former media coordinator at the Consulate General of Israel in New York and IDF soldier…what an unbiased credible commentator 😂
  • Israeli president said in the beginning that there's no uninvolved civilians in Gaza Israel finance minister said that returning the hostages is not a priority It was never about the hostages it's just meaningless revenge
  • @under-en6lo
    This Middle East Analyst sounds a lot like any other Hasbara employee.
  • @elspethg7497
    You know she is a Israeli apologist when she says KHamas
  • Inviting a guess that is fully adapting the Israeli view put the whole program in doubt
  • @karimjr28
    DW, please stop disrespecting the intelligence of your audience.
  • @user-je7et4ns3x
    Money has blinded the politicians to see the differences between genocide, war crimes, brutal colonial occupation, trasprent Apartheid and self defense.
  • @MacrobianNomad
    RafaKH and KHamas was so telling that I had to check who this was, how are you literally presenting a former IDF soldier as some sort of a neutral expert? Utterly shameful!
  • @Sakura.Creation
    What a shame to bring IDF personnel to this show as a journalist
  • @willscurran
    United States questioning if Israel has an exit policy ... let that sink in.
  • @kinghenryxl1747
    So you interview fmr IDF soldiers for a comprehensive view of what is happenning? LOL
  • @AaronBushnell12
    War is between two armies not between army and civilians, this is a textbook example of GENOCIDE.
  • The lady analyst doesn't know what she is talking about. She has no understanding of how smuggling works and also seems unaware that the manufacture of weapons occurs inside Gaza. The only issue is gaining enough high explosives for the bombs either by smuggling in the precursors or high explosive itself and enough precursors for low explosives or gun powder for rockets , mortars and bullets. Reason you can't smuggle low explosives in is they are to unstable and packing them safely would stand out too much. The only way major smugglers of drugs for example get caught is by following the money and Israel is incapable of doing that in the case of Gaza. Also we are talking about relatively small sums of money.
