Five Must-Watch Gaza Conflict Videos
As fighting rages on between Israel and Palestine, these clips reveal five key facets of the conflict.
Israel Defense Forces Abort Mission
The ongoing and escalating conflict in the Middle East is a propaganda war as much as an actual war, and the Israel Defense Forces have not been ignoring that crucial aspect of the fight. In this video posted to IDF’s official YouTube channel, an Israeli Air Force pilot aborts a mission because he sees civilians walking near the target.
Children Die and Speak Out In Gaza
In this harrowing report from Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman, a cameraman captures the limp bodies of children being pulled from rubble in Gaza City. Meanwhile, a Gazan girl speaks out from a hospital, asking the world to stop the attacks. “To the world and people: why should we be killed and why can’t we have a normal childhood?” she asked. Twenty or more Palestinian children have already been killed in the recent conflict, reports Goodman.
Israelis Protest Attacks on Gaza
As their city faced incoming rockets for the first time since 1991, Israelis in Tel Aviv took to the streets to protest their country’s attacks against Gaza. Signs such as “I Shall Not Hate” peppered the crowd, and the protestors chanted slogans like “This is not security!

Just a reminder that this conflict—like all conflicts—are not black and white.
