Sick how every crime committed by Hamas was transferred to the Israelis in this guys twisted mind. What an evil vile POS.

He got right the part that NHS psychiatric services are overloaded, otherwise he should of been committed long time ago.

He's just another misinformation spreader... And appears to have a real issue with Jewish people... They should worry more about him and his gang starting problems than any returning reservists...

In my professional career (I’m now retired), I always said…kill em with the data. Data speaks volumes. Yes, data can be manipulated, but the credibility comes from having multiple independent sources. I admire what you do and with the ethics in which you do it. Thanks for the clock time so I could skip over his rants. I was willing to listen to his views, but quickly realized he was just spewing nonsense. Making claims with no sources, no data and just spewing whatever he’s been brainwashed to believe. Hope the bridge incident isn’t impacting your world directly. That’s going to be a long road to recovery.

Name calling, attacking nationalities, derisive tone are the easiest and lowest forms of of Graham's "hierarchy of debate", part of the "firehose of falsehood" propaganda Ryan is referring to on TikTok. Arcuate analysis and reporting is the fundamental solution.. Thanks Ryan.

Subscribed just to say this but the guy in the video looks similar to Ian Smith.

Went to school in South Africa which would match up with what someone else said regarding his accent.

Lots of projection there. Who murders civilians, rapes women, children, boys? I think it would be more accurate to state large numbers of war criminals migrate to UK, but from places like Syria.

Darn! And here I was hoping that 20K Brits were there. I suspect that there *are* 20K Brits who subscribe to this guy's views, though.

Most of those hundred volunteers a year stay in Israel afterwards. There are a children of Israeli ex-pats with dual citizenship who go to Israel to serve and there are ardent Zionists who decide to follow through with their convictions. There are not many non Israeli Jews who would go to Israel to serve in the military and then go back home to UK, unless they became disillusioned or couldn't make it in Israel, because if you are that committed to the Jewish state that you are prepared to die for it, then you are going to stay there.

I remember when I was that age (I came to Israel from UK), there were people who went into the volunteer scheme because it shortened their army service that they would have been required to do anyway as new citizens. The way the conscription works is that if you arrive before you are 18, you are liable for full service and it goes down as you get older on your date of entry until you are totally free from conscription.

At this point, I'm not sure what Israel is or isn't guilty of except the "high crime" of existing and having the audacity to defend themselves.

This insane communist says in the video that returning IDF soldiers will be arrested in South Africa. Could you investigate this claim, and is it more evidence that South Africa is actively on Hama and Iran's side in the war?

My oldest daughter works at a company that has a Russian Jewish lady as their accounting manager. Very nice lady. She grew up in the Soviet Union and is very anti-communist. Now a US citizen. Her son had gone to Israel some time back and did two or three years in the IDF voluntarily. He was discharged about a month or so before Oct 7, 2023. He has no reserve obligation as he is a US citizen and he chose to not go back and re-enlist although he could have and the IDF would probably had been glad to get him back. This is not uncommon for non-Israeli resident Jews to join the IDF voluntarily, serve their time, and get out.

I detect a South African accent in this Communist POS.

Ryan, chasing down these crazy stories is going to make you crazier than I am if you’re not careful, so be careful. Also, remember to take vacations where you can leave the craziness behind.

I could not follow the poor man -- first talks about Jews in the IDF, then talks about Hamas rapists, then he did some impersonations from a Rob Zombie movie, the about vets with PTSD. What is he on about? Coke, I would say, or maybe speed... Stay away from drugs kids, or you risk becoming like to poor idiot!
