Direct link to the video he's reacting to

TL;DW: During some unspecified conflict, Hila had some kind of a desk job that she commuted to daily and found boring, and was thinking of quitting. She applied for a change of job (apparently you don't get to choose what kind of job?) and was placed at a base further away where she'd spend the week there and have the weekend off, which she found to be "more of an adventure" and "more rewarding". She was secretary for some high-ranked military official leading a brigade that controlled Ramallah. On her mission to the "terrorist city" (Ethan's words, which Hila doesn't blink an eye at), she tagged along on one of her brigades nightly "raid[s] to Ramallah to arrest terrorists." She rode in an armored "Jeep", which she says was fired upon when they entered the city, something she found "interesting." She saw soldiers going into people's houses, tearing apart all their shit to find contraband, and then arresting them (she actually got out of the car once to witness this). Ethan asks her if she found it "horrifying", to which she replies it was "strange" and "surreal."

Just shows how completely secure Israelis feel in their domination of the occupied territories that a desk jockey treats going to terrorize some Palestinians like a field trip.

Wanna point out that Ethan, after learning that they'd arrested a "terrorist", asked her if they "put it in the same jeep than she was in"

Thanks for the summary / original video. The streamer style of pausing a video to add some poorly thought out commentary every 8 seconds is so obnoxious.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.
