Israel's Invasion of Gaza Discussed--While Willy Cutes It Up

[John Green]

In which John talks about Israel and Palestine, and the Israel's recent invasion of the Gaza Strip in response to rocket attacks from Hamas. Obviously no four-minute video can do the topic justice; we'll continue the conversation in comments, hopefully with some thoughtfulness and empathy.

Nicely done, John. It is a very difficult situation to understand. Thanks for such an astute summary. It is so great that you give your readers/viewers so much respect and that you clearly value their intellectual abilities. Your videos, like your books, are smart, entertaining, and off-beat. And, they are great for the minds of teens.

I don't understand current affairs half as well as I should do, until John & Hank clue me in..
Whilst this is dangerous as I'm relying solely on them for all my political knowledge, it does mean that everything I do learn, comes with a hefty dose of awesome! =D

A new (awesome!) intro, Willy, mismatched socks, AND an informative report on the current Israel/Palestine relations in under 4 minutes? The awesome makes my eyes hurt.

CNN should show footage of a cute puppy while they're talking about Israel and Palestine. It makes the whole thing seem less depressing. I love the mismatched socks also. That's Nerdfighter chic.

It's so hard to be concerned about foreign events and serious problems in the Middle East when watching Bubbles the Nerdfighting Puppy turn his head.... How did you possible get him to do it that much?

i love your mismatched socks!
