Life for Palestinians in Gaza under Hamas has been extremely difficult. Palestinian civilians lack basic water, sanitation, and electricity infrastructures, as well as access to upward economic mobility and the rights to freedom of speech and self-expression. The constant suffering from rampant political and economic corruption has left civilians in Gaza with a sense of despair and a longing for a change in leadership.

About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.
Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.

About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated — yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.

    Following the outbreak of the war in Gaza, YouTube updated its community guidelines, and as a result, the previous version of this video was age-restricted. We decided to edit and upload a less graphic version in the hopes that an unrestricted video will be viewed and shared by the widest possible audience. Please continue to share your comments and thanks for your support!

    I worked on a kibbutz north of israel in agriculture some of the workers were israeli arab (muslims) whenever there was a jewish wedding the arabs would come with their families their wives wearing hijabs and children, and we went to their kfar on events, i couldnl not see the apartheid anywhere yet much of the west who havent stepped foot in israel claim they know better, wish one day arabs will build up a huge trust with israelis and never again will we see war Amen.
  • @yitzledee
    I don't understand why it is Israel's and sometimes Egypt's responsibility to give Gaza food, water, fuel and electricity. They have their own government and practically state since 2005... Why can't they do anything themselves?
  • I wish this video reaches all those people protesting Free Palestine in college campuses. They need to hear it from Gazans
  • @XRos28
    I hope this video will reach every person that owns a computer/cellphone on earth! This needs to be seen and heard.
  • @Omkuskom
    I had a school teacher that remembered the open borders as well. he always said how nice it was to go shopping in the gazan market with his son
  • @WaltShag
    IS Any nation will take gazans/hamas in? ! NOT even ONE of 54 Muslims countries? WHY not? I wonder?
  • Given that this is a plainly pro-Israel channel, I was impressed with how fair and frank this video was. As well as comprehensive and well researched. Good job!
  • @niliross4326
    Arab Israelis are sitting in Goverment and have the right to vote. They also have the option of joining the Israeli army, which is not compulsory for them. So life in general for Israeli Arabs (muslims) is good.
  • Congratulations on the best, most honest video I've seen in 9 months. I hope everyone and every country sees this and all the nonsense disappears. Thank you💗☮️💗☮️💗☮️
  • I am totaly convinced that where islam goes trouble follows look at the world and what they do
  • @shvsing-tb9ym
    Wow well done! Hope everyone sees this video! Thank you for bringing light on a very sad time!
  • @paulboy741
    I love these videos. As someone from the US who really doesn't understand any of this.. or why?? But these videos give me a better understanding of what's going on over there and why? Thanks for the education. 😊👍
  • @frikon726
    The fact that I never even knew about the 'we want to live' movement until now after learning about the region since the war started in surprising
  • Brilliant and informative feature. Such a shame mainstream Western Media appears to be incapable of reporting these dimensions of this tragic narrative.
  • Students in American universities should watch this and learn the truth!
  • @lizs7827
    Absolutely amazing video with a beautiful message. Thank you for creating this masterpiece.
  • @boryag7831
    This kind of content is gold. please share, repost and comment. The world must see this
  • @RICGIL1
    Just want to say that your video is the most unbiased, factually correct depiction of the Israel/Hamas war going on at the moment. It is refreshing not to have to sift through slanted narratives to understand the situation. Your dedication to presenting the facts without taking sides is highly appreciated. Thank you for your commitment to truthful reporting. RG from South Africa
