    I saw comments saying that the United States should not be included in the Western countries because the United States is friendly to China, and I laughed out loud. The United States is the only country in the world that has enacted an exclusion act for a certain race. Do you know the Chinese Exclusion Act? This bill lasted for 60 years. It was not until 1943 that the United States repealed the bill because it considered that China was its ally in the war against Japan.

    You try to spread propaganda while seeming like you are neutral. You are actually calling baby behading, burning entire families alive, raping, cutting off limbs, and so on "resistance" And you call the monsters who committed such atrocities "militants" and "fighters" They are terrorists who commited a terror attack! Gazan hospitals, schools etc... are proven to used by Hamas for terror activites. Also, you mainly focus about Israeli soilders and Gazan civlian casualties while the majority of those who died are hamas terrorists Since the Israeli attack on Gaza: 300 Israeli soilderes died 10,000 Gazan civilans died 15,000 Hamas terrorists died *BTW this is basically the lowest dead civilans:terrorists ratio in history of urban warfare Apparently killing baby behaders who said that they will do it over and over again is commiting genocide.

    I'm Chinese and i like your videos but you missed the important part that before the 1800 the British tried to become an equal trade partner of China. The Summer palace that was burnt down by the British ironically had some of the earliest trains and guns built by the British as offerings and gifts to further collaboration. The Qing court famous said "these are just disgusting cleaver tricks that is not worthy of our country's greatness". Not only did we humiliate the British traders by making them kneel in front of Chinese traders, we also killed many traders and missionaries including their children before the opium trade started. Tax that was placed on foreign goods meant that China just didn't participate as a part of the entire industrial revolution. Where as Japan welcomed change and was able to grow we were too arrogant as a nation. Btw China had its own imperialism and genocide at the time at Xinjiang, Vietnam, Korea, Tibet. TL;DR China was not just an innocent advanced country that was taken advantage of by the British. It was a country that was already rotten to the core and very easily been taken advantage of. Not saying the British were innocent at all.

    This video has some errors. Starting with the fact that the attackers were not just Hamas. Later, Palestinians came through the houses and also murdered and looted the houses. In addition, many atrocities can be traced back not only to Hamas, but also to the Palestinians themselves. That is exactly the problem. Who is Hamas and where does this “designation” go? I myself despise this people, because the Israelis, especially Israelis close to the border, were very open to reconciliation and a change in policy as a whole. Hamas helped the hardliners on the Israeli side.

    Before the Arab-Israeli war in 1948 large Jewish and Christian non-profits (an example is the JNF Jewish National Fund) purchased land from rich Arab Effendi's (example is the Sursock Purchase) starting in the 18th century all the way up to the 20th. Israel accepted several peace agreements (Peel, UN Partition plan), the League of Arab nations (forerunner of the Arab League) said no, and declared war. Israel won the war, and inherited all "state land" (public land and private land) in Israeli controlled Palestine. State land was any land that did not have a legal owner or title to, or that has been taken for tax evasion, or land owned by the state. Israel become the new legal owners of all Ottoman, and British Palestine State Lands.

    Just remember the civilians in Gaza voted in Hamas as their leaders. Not to say they deserve this or anything I believe both Israel and Hamas have done some terrible things. However Israel are not the ones using civilians as human shields by creating military bases under hospitals and such. Also Hamas seem to be proud of some of their crimes like r**e. They video it and taking hostages. The bombing in Gaza is also nothing compared to some of the stuff seen during ww2 most cities in Germany were pretty much completely destroyed, firebombing in Japan killed 10s of thousands of civilians and that's not even bringing up the 6 millions dead Jews during the holocaust or the crazy number of warcrimes that Japan committed.
