"America doesn't support Israel" - what are they talking about? That's simply incorrect. It wasn't until recently that Palestine got the kind of media attention it has today.

[Xenomorph]

Please get a fact checker. You used to provide facts at the bottom as text so we could read them. This episode needs it desperately.

[Nekopolitik]

I think it would’ve been better to bring actual Israelis and Palestinians together for this debate. Americans can’t really speak for either side.

[hamzagazawi]

"If you throw a rock, you're a terr*rist"


WTF !?

[marwanawada]

is no one gonna mention the fact that they said that someone throwing a rock at a tank was terrorism and they derserved prison even if they were children. Why is everyone brushing past that, that absolutely disgusted and infurated me.

[daniyalhabib]

I want to be empathetic with the Israeli advocates, but it's hard when they have none themselves. Saying throwing rocks at tanks is terrorism is laughable and you cannot be taken seriously from then on.

[RJH]

Imagine hearing someone talking about how a loved one was treated in prison and then responding "that's actually not true"

[woozymammal]

calling literal children "terrorists" is truly baffling to me.

[aishapasha]

Sorry but it's still so absurd to me that none of the Israelis were willing to admit Israel's continual occupation and oppression of Palestine. Gus is absolutely correct in saying that this conflict doesn't end until the occupation ends but if the other side can't even admit that occupation exists then there's still a long way to go to finding a resolution.

[gabrielaestrada]

This Israeli woman says she prefers to get her news and experiences form people she knows personally but also accused Reema of lying about her husbands experience in Israeli prison because it’s just a personal experience- their refusal to accept truth is astounding and terrifying

[elinakangas]

I wish Jubilee did anti-Israel vs pro-Israel Jewish people Middle Ground.

[mariesindlerova]

Hearing the personal stories of everyone was powerful, but still I would love to see an episode with real experts, historians etc. on this topic

[mariacruz.]

as much as it’s interesting to see regular people having this discourse, i think having actual historians and people with first hand experience would’ve made the discussion so much more educational, there wasn’t any fact checking in this which i feel it’s crucial for a conversation of this matter.

[nabila]

23:12 she mentioned how they're not getting to hear first-hand experiences from each other online, but I'm sorry when the blond lady gave first-hand experience, she was completely shutdown and told that her ex-husband's experience is not true, that 's not what happens

[galaxyedits]

It’s funny how the Palestinian supporters kept giving time for the people israeli supporters to tell their stories like about the guy partying on the beach but when they try to tell their stories it’s shut down with arguments or snarky side comments like just grow up

[kylerjackson]

They should have a middle ground with actual facts and analysis

[ChaosSpell]

Remember when Jubilee used to put information and their sources on the screen when people would make quasi-anecdotal statements, to either confirm or fact-check blanketed and bias statements? I don't mind seeing people disagree but moderate more. At some point its just a third of the prompt's time is people talking over one another.

[Nonbinarymodel]

I wanna see these same people get together now and see how they feel

[usernamemalfunctioning]

"If you were born Jewish, you would have been me. If I was born Palestinian, I would have been you."

probably the most important thing to have been said in the entire video, yet it's only in the end. Goes to show how important it is to have these conversations and to truly see how human these so-called "enemies" are. We're all just brothers in foreign clothing.

[TheFINNHERO]

Jubilee you need to fact check what people say in the videos just like you do with every other middle ground video. Objective truth can be found here even if it proves someone wrong.
