Summary

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's compelling episode, Tom sits down with Omar Baddar to delve into the intricate and often polarizing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. With historical context, media coverage critiques, and the profound human rights implications at its core, this discussion examines the long-standing tensions, strategic alliances, and heart-wrenching stories that shape the current landscape. Tom and Omar explore the roots of Israel's establishment and the Palestinian struggle, dissect the aggressive stances on both sides, and question the role of the U.S. as a significant player in the conflict. Tom attempts to understand the motivations behind Israel's military actions and how Hamas has evolved in response to the ongoing occupation. The episode also touches on the ethical dilemmas, international law, and the ever-evolving political dynamics in the region. Moreover, they discuss possible resolutions, including the viability of a two-state solution or a unified state with equal rights for all, emphasizing the need for sustained international pressure and coherent policies to address the injustices faced by Palestinians. SHOWNOTES: 00:00 US supports Israel, hindering accountability, causing conflicts. 10:39 Intentional annihilation in Gaza is morally unacceptable. 23:53 Encourage international law for peace and safety. 33:41 Hamas' popularity grew due to failed peace process. 45:39 Status quo: Israeli occupation and Palestinian displacement ongoing. 01:00:04 Netanyahu: Genocidal rhetoric and Gaza depopulation strategy. 01:05:34 Israel's war on Gaza is morally unjustifiable. 01:22:37 Pressure on Palestinians, Israel's desires dominate discourse. 01:24:28 Genocide in Gaza transcends minor political disagreements. 01:34:30 Stop violence before seeking Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation. 01:45:11 America backs friends; skeptical of Iran's intentions. 02:00:08 Focus on better future can prevent conflicts. 02:13:28 Equality and shared rights for Palestinians and Israelis. 02:16:41 Israel must face consequences for unjust actions. 02:25:55 Fascinating event captivated everyone's interest.

0:00.0	I'm Tom Biliu and welcome to impact theory. Let's dive right back into part two with Omar Bader.
0:08.0	What would you do if you stepped inside the Israeli frame of reference, meaning their frame of reference as reported, not the
0:17.1	frame of reference you have of them and step inside of that.
0:19.8	But the frame of reference as they reported themselves.
0:23.0	How would you negotiate maintaining a Jewish state?
0:31.0	If, so I'm arguing on behalf of a Jewish state and this...
0:37.0	Yeah, I want, so for me, this is where we start getting into the real meat and potatoes of why we are stuck here.
0:46.4	So in fact, let me draw a parallel real fast.
0:48.6	So my wife's family got caught up in the invasion of Cyprus by the Turks and her step-mom
0:56.5	was one of the people that was forcibly evicted from her home she thought she was
1:00.2	going to be gone for a weekend and she ended up being gone for whatever 40 years.
1:04.4	And surprise, you've now been evicted.
1:07.1	And they drew a line on the island and everybody's gotten along with their business. Now of course Greece will

1:24.7	living there in those homes and so while it is absolutely gut-wrenching that my
1:29.9	stepmother-in-law and you can make her cry just by bringing it up I mean for her it's
1:33.6	still very fresh but she's never going back like that now you're just gonna
1:38.6	revisit that trauma on whoever has grown up there and raise their kids and you know 40 years a long
1:44.1	ass time yeah and for whatever reason for the most part
1:49.8	Cyprus has just got on with life it was like like, yep, we just lost half of our island and that really sucked and if they had the military power, I'm sure they would have fought back right then and there, but they didn't. And so they said, cool, we don't want an eternity a bloodshed and they just
2:07.0	rolled with it yeah so when I look at this, like there is some sticking point that isn't about injustice from where I'm sitting,
