I’m not trying to be obtuse, but it is worth noting that most Jews from Arab countries were expelled from their nations after Israel’s creation - they didn’t go to Israel of their own accord
Israel actively pursued that
@@shafsteryellow they for sure wanted it, but they didn’t write laws in Libya, Egypt, Iraq etc banning Jews
@@amcc666Well, Israel did pursue false flag attacks in 1954 that gained the name The Lavon Affair intending to pressure Israelis to emigrate
They were offered incentives by Israel to move there. Many did so willingly. There were also persecutions as well as Arabs wanted to unfortunately exact revenge for Palestinians in an unfair way. Many Arabs governments also rightly feared that Israel would use their Jewish populations against them to influence foreign policy and pressure their government just like Jews do in the US still today
There are so many holes in your story, i just dont know where to begin. Youd think that in the age of information, you would have at least come across the numerous sources of information that is available in relation to this most covered of conflicts.
You are either totally naive and captured by the usual insidious palestine propaganda, or you are pretending to be impartial, because you have done nothing but regurgitate countless lies, disinformation and propaganda.
I used to be pro palestine my whole life because i too swallowed the usual propaganda, cleverly crafted by the most sophisticated of propaganda masters on the so called palestinin side, to appeal to all the usual cues of people in the west. But it was only with the advent of the internet, that i was finally able to deep dive and check out all sides with an honest desire to get to the truth, and I like many others who have also done this deep dive, have come to the only sensible conclusion, which is that we been duped big time by the so called palestine cause, which is nothing short of the most disingenuous cause ever to have existed possibly in the history of humanity.
I dont have time to go into all the countless points of history that this video has either missed or deliberately failed to include, but anyone who is genuinely interested in getting closer to the truth, I would recommend a youtuber called Destiny, who recently took an honest and public deep dive from a totally neutral perspective, and shared his findings with his audience. Its not perfect, but at least he was thorough and honest and done in genuine good faith and anyone who is genuinely interested in the truth, should start there and examine what he has found, research it further yourself, and check his conclusions to see if it holds up to the light of day.
This took balls to post.
Lots of them...

You say that like Jews havent been calling Palestinians a Soviet invention for decades
We don't call them like that, thank you very much.@Morgan_of_the_Maxilla
@@Morgan_of_the_Maxilla Nice lie there.

Why would the Palestinians recognize their ethnic cleansers and occupiers?
23:50 denmark was able to save 95% of their Jewish population due to germany's diplomat to Denmark warned the resistance that Germany would roundup all the Jews, he even was the one to get Sweden accept the jews
Also aren't Jews from Arab states the North Africa the largest demographic of Jews in israel not those who came from Europe
While I don’t have the exact stats, today about 80% of Israeli Jews were born in Israel, 14% are immigrants from Europe and the Americas, and the last 6% are from Asia and Africa. This is according to Israel Central Bureau of Statistics. Considering that the majority of Israeli settlers were originally European Jews and American Jews, majority Orthodox in the first and second waves of settlement, its probably not accurate to describe Arabic and North African Jews to be the majority of Israeli Jews.
@@dionysus913 Im Israeli and I can tell you that Mizrahi jews (Arabic and North African jews) are definitely the majority here. Ashkenazi jews are almost considered a minority by this point.
@@dionysus913Sephardic Jews are the biggest population group, more like a plurality. They aren't the majority but the biggest group.
@@dionysus913 What you're assuming incorrectly is that the majority of Israeli Jews who were born in Israel are descended from the European and American Jews who came prior to 1948. In 1948, the population of Israeli Jews (made overwhelmingly of European and American Jews) was 600,000 and between 1948-1957, roughly 500,000 Jews from the Middle East and North Africa immigrated to Israel, meaning that by 1957, the country's Jewish population was roughly evenly split between people from European/American ancestry and people from MENA. The Jews from MENA had somewhat higher birth rates and so they became the majority of the Jewish population in Israel, at least until Soviet Jewish migration in the 1990s. If we compare Jews with origins from Europe/America and Jews with origins from MENA, there are still more Jews with origins from MENA but not a majority since there is a significant percentage of Israeli Jews with mixed heritage now.
@@oremfrien Neat, I’d love to see where you got those statistics from, by the way. Doesn’t change the fact that the Zionist movement was inspired by European colonialism, was headed by European Jews, and was largely encouraged by European governments. And the first waves of people to arrive were largely European and American Jews, ingrained with a “Manifest Destiny” mindset nearly identical to those of American settlers and British colonists. Take the United States for example: While the demographics of the United States are quite diverse, containing large populations of White, Black, Latiné, Asian, Middle Eastern, Slavic, etc. etc. it is undeniable that the United States was founded by White European men, with the interests of keeping White men at the top of the social ladder. The same is true of Israel. While it now contains a multitude of people of different ethnicities and colors, it was created with the interests of European Jews in mind. (South Africa is also a good example, having a black majority population but having apartheid laws that propped up a white minority, so just having a diversity of population does not necessarily make a nation any less systematically racist or oppressive.) There’s also a storied history of “Ashkenaziation” in which Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jews have become almost a standard for Jewish-ness within Israel itself, with Mizrahi (Arab and North African) Jews and Ethiopian Jews encouraged to integrate into Ashkenazi culture and leave their own cultural customs behind. I believe it’s even addressed in the video itself. It’s not about how many people there are, it’s about the dominant culture and the systems built around that culture.
as a 13 year old israeli who grew up with a famliy that hates the govermant and learned as much as i could about this conflict for almost a year, who have been through scary experiences before, i really hope that my generation would be the end of this conflict.
Your generation needs to stop zionism
"אני בן 13 וזה כל כך עמוק"
I hope so as well kid I’m sorry I can imagine hearing people call for your country to be gone to be difficult and confusing. You’re doing a good job educating yourself, I don’t agree with Israel’s existence not because I don’t think Jewish folk deserve community but because I think you can not solve one genocide with another. I think no religious government should have control of the state, it should be safe for all religions and all people. Your history is horrific and beyond sad I just hope that a good end can come from this conflict and that no one in our modern age has to fear where they live because of they’re religion
Sorry it’s not gonna be fixed in this generation because the Palestinian generations are getting more and more entrenched in a fictional narrative in which Jews are the villains of the world and lies about stolen land and they just wanna kill you October 7 was there declaration they don’t want peace they want you and your family gone and or dead did not ask anybody’s politics. They didn’t ask whether you wanted a two solution or a one solution whether you voted for Leor labor they didn’t ask whether people were Jewish or Muslim. They didn’t ask whether you were Israeli or Palestinian, they just raged and tortured and gourd like a water buffalo. You cannot make peace with somebody who wants you and your family dead please be careful.

17:16 - "kibbutz" is a Hebrew word, not Yiddish
Whaaaaaaa, person pointing out misinformation actually points out real misinformation?
Wait what’s the difference between Yiddish and Hebrew. Ain’t em both Jew language lol
@@alexanderthegrape5641 Hebrew is an ancient Semitic language (it is the language of most of the Bible) and Yiddish is a variation of High German spoken by Jews throughout Europe and is an Indo-European language. They are both used almost exclusively by Jews.
@@alexanderthegrape5641. Yiddish is a German dialect with spoken in by Jews in Eastern Europe.
It’s tied to a couple of different practices
in the Holy Roman Empire the Jews came under the authority of the Emperor not the local lord and as such were likely to live in the cities
And then, further east, many areas had German aristocracy (e.g. the Teutonic Knights) who ruled over Slavic and Baltic dual populations while the Jews were the Merchant class in the cities.
So they spoke German…. With a Jewish accent all over Eastern Europe .
@@alexanderthegrape5641aren’t English and French both Christian languages? 🤣🤣
As a Muslim who lives in Saudi Arabia, thank you so much for teaching me the history of the Israel and Palestine conflict. Never have I seen a conflict or war with so much misinformation, thank you so much for teaching me this. Too many people have suffered, the Jews looking for a land for peace, and the Palestinians never had much control under their lives which left them too easy to be subjected. I hope peace will come to the holy lands and the innocent lives in Israel and Palestine will live in peace soon. One hopes that’ll happen in the future. God bless you John, god bless you.
Taking a quick look at your channel I admit I'm impressed, not only for finishing the remake of destroy all humans deathless 100% or some of the witty humour I saw but because you seem to be someone who seeks information for the sake of growth and understanding.
so please know this video omits plenty of information, and has too clear of a bias. I encourage you to continue on your path and learn more about the subject and be skeptical of everything you read.
(Also don't burn yourself out on making videos, it's better to create for the joy of it than for unlimited intangible growth)
@@the7screw Thank you so much.
This video is also very biased against Israel and is outright wrong here and there. It misses a lot of important context, which explains a lot of Israel's actions as well as showing the lack of care the governments of the Arab states have for Palestinians.
no doubt the topic is interesting,but why all the thanks,especially when this video ommits so many crucial elements . talking of "colonization" without mentioning it consisted of jews buying land from registered owners in the ottoman land registry the brits kept(and tel aviv,rehovot,petach tikva,west jerusalem outside the walls and many other cities were purchased and built through the roman era). talking of paramilitary violence without mentioning the 1886 attack on petach tikva,1929 hebron and safed massacre or 1938 tiberias massacre(against unarmed sephardi religious communities) is at least "weird". saying we mizrahi jews were "convicned" to move to israel without mentioning we were held as dhimmis till tanzimat(and in practice after as well),that till 1948 we constituted 1/6th of jews in israel,and we built the first neighbourhoods of west jerusalem and tel aviv. its leaving out all the pogroms we suffered from 1903 to 1912 morroco pogroms through 1941 farhud to 1947 aden and aleppo pogroms and the racist legislation against us in egypt and iraq which made us feld the muslim world so we wont face similar faith to the assyriacs(Simmele,seyfo),rom and pontic greek,yazidis,armenians...
saying we "lost our arab heritage" when huge portion of us(including my family) didnt come from arab speaking countries or areas(assyriac/kurdistan,iran,central asia,caucasus,turkey,india diasporas).we assyriacs jews,iraqi jews and irani jews all maintained very close connections as jews regardless of the common language where we lived. not every middle eastern person is arab. finally saying "israel started receiving aid from the us" right after 1948 is not true. till 1967 we got donations from american jews and in many cases america had weapons embargo on us. no major american governmental aid till the cold war spike in the 1960s.
@@user-we4ih1tp7n Well that is an interesting argument but non-then-less I feel like arguments from the like likes of yours and ones similar to Palestinian supporters (who both of the latter provide non bias arguments, which I know is impossible with the current state of politics- ah who am I kidding politics been like this for centuries) can give out a more fleshed out views of both Israeli and Palestinian views to help maybe build up on the reasons why there is so much hate between the groups and know what kind of solution can be made to mediate each others problems while also respecting each other, which again it’s pretty impossible with the hate being reignited since Oct 7th and if the war were to end (in any way or shape of form, that’s up to your imagination for the outcome) there’ll be more hate and more bias and lies from both sides. So I appreciate the argument you have and maybe if everyone were to listen to others to prevent more of these biases from happening.
Well this is not going to be even slightly controversial
You know what would be really cool? You did a video on the history of Lord of The Rings- maybe do one about the history of A Song Of Ice And Fire- like the Targaryen dynasty
That comment is going to be a “Hold my Beer”
@@michaellynes3540 Which one? The first one or the second one?
@@maninthewall7050 the first one.
bro when are you going to make a new video
A very very important point to make is: the philistins mentioned in the video and the palestinians of today have nothing to do with each other, they are completely different groups.
One could equally say the Judeans and the Z*onists of today have nothing to do with each other. They are two different groups.
In fact, the Palestinians genetically have more in common with the Levant's original residents that most Is*aelis.
Is*ael refrains from doing genetic testing like 23andMe to prove otherwise for that reason.
Yes, it was quite wrong for him to say that the non-Jews in Israel primarily originated from the Bronze Age people of that region. Not true at all! As rather they're more recent immigrants / colonizers.
as well as the isreali kingdom that existed in 1050 bc isn't the same as israel of today in which it's populations are mainly comes from the other side of the world prior to ottoman losing ww1 and the rise of antisemitism in europe.
Vid never said that
But let me tell you something for sure. Modern jews have a very strong blood connection with the jews in the ancient jewish kingdom, and blood tests prove that.@@muhammadfarid8740
A half-truth is even more dangerous than a lie. A lie, you can detect at some stage, but half a truth is sure to mislead you for long.
Could you be more specific about what you’re talking about?
Some of the "facts" on this video were wrong, for example that Israel led by European Jews convinced Jews from Arab countries to join, when the actual truth is that Arab countries kicked out and hurt their Jews.
Also he is adding his own thoughts about Israelis destroying Gaza for example for "living space" (which is a reference for Nazi terminology). Have you looked at Gaza in Google maps? It's tiny. We don't care about it and as he said correctly, religiously and spiritually we don't care too much about this area.
he is bias and not really hiding it too much.. you can talk about the tragedy of the people of Gaza how much you want, but the truth needs to be said- they are extreme Islamic jihadist population who teaches their children from day 1 that they should become a terrorist and anyone, especially a Jew, who don't follow Islam should die.
They are Nazis and I'm talking about actual nazi books translated into Arabic found in Gaza at large numbers, this is an evil society and no nation would just live with that situation after that massacre they did to us and after all those years of terror attacks, there is simply no one sane leader we can make peace with unfortunately.@@Pangloss6413
man until 31:44 you had me but saying the intifada was most a peaceful protest is just lying or not knowing the history
It was mostly peaceful. Not devoid of violence, in the same way as the civil rights protests in Northern Ireland were mostly peaceful.
I know I simplify history, but be careful you don’t simplify it too much either way.
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan suicide bombings, mass shootings and kidnappings... what's the non violent part in all of this?
it was majorly non violent all the violence which was committed was initiated by Israel and all those bombings came as response read about the intifada even U.N agrees it started out as a non violent protest which was turned violent by I.D.F
@@striker7625 the UN has a majority for anti-west dictatorships, that's why every year 50% of all condemnations are on Israel, it's completely biased political source.
In reality you had lynches of civilians, suicide bombings, stabbing and mass shootings of civilians and policemen, hundreds of violent riots with explosives and rocks thrown... every intifada was a period where jews knew not to go near a palestinian village because those who accidentally did- appeared on the news that night, in a hospital or a coffin. On what ground do you say it was "mostly peaceful"? That's like saying the kristalnacht or the Farhud were mostly peaceful (well, since the majority of the rioters didn't get the chance to kill or burn anything they didn't do any violence, only a few!). Such BS apologism for terrorism.
@@barzomer2639 do you have a credible sources ??
Give sources for the lynches and bombs with reference to where you got you're sources from
I'd give this history a "Mostly Accurate but cherry picked" for example Liberia was built by former slaves who wanted to leave the US and Americas one of the concepts founders being Fredrick Douglass
Or at 27:00 where instead of saying that the arab states ethnically cleansed the jews living there, he states that israel "convinced" them to move......
@@enjoyingend1939 Well Israel did support immigration from these areas, It just should have also emphasized that many where pressured by the ruling population and government to leave either by economic pressure or violence.
@@generalamsel437 The problem is that the campaigns of ethnic cleansing by those arab states which now have almost single digit jewish populations was entirely omitted. He only mentions the part that doesn't make the arab cause look bad, and that isn't the only time he does that in the video either.
@@enjoyingend1939 False flag attacks carried out by Israel in places like Iraq to get Jews to flee to Israel is also a factor I'm sure you don't mind being added to the discussion.
@@King_Gum i deal in facts, and the fact of the matter is, aside from the lavon affair there is little evidence to support any other israeli "false flag" operation, the iraqi bombings as i believe you're referring to are to this day an unresolved issue with no clear motives. It's all allegations to this day and i don't pick sides in a she said/ he said situation.
It's funny, this video talks about the arab league conference and yet doesn't mention the most famous part of that summit: The Three No's. No Negotiation, No Recognition, No Peace with Israel.
love you dude. it's so important to notice those critical points that are being "pushed under the carpet" and show them
Thx for sharing important part of history
Exactly. I'm still looking over all of the conflict but it seems to be a constant thing people are ignoring. No negotiation , no recognition and no peace.
There was never a group of humans who called themselves “Byzantines”. They were Romans
True story. Bloody Germans not accepting that the romans were ended by the Turks!
You make a good point. There is also never a group of Palestinians. They were Lebanese, Jordanians, Syrians and Egyptians.
Uh oh, this won’t get controversial.
I find it funny how he uses the Gregorian calendar with BC E but it still is centered around Jesus
You know it will. Sadly saying “mass slaughter of innocents for more living space” is controversial now
Hopefully no antisemitism OR islamophobia in the comments section! :-)
@@Crystal_Dylanthat sounds awfully similar to another regime
Hold my Beer
I’m a little annoyed of the description of the first Aliyah in 1880 and the portrayal of Russias pogroms against the Jews as a reaction to Jewish emancipation across Europe is just wrong.
The violence against the Jew was caused by the assassination of tsar Alexander the second in 1881 by an anti-monarchist group and the Russian peasants naturally blamed the Jew which lead to the violence.
Also, that comment from the Arab, “aren’t you guys Russians” is misleading. The Jews in Russia were not Russians. They were Jews they were distinctly separate and treated as such. Jews weren’t allowed to live in Russia proper they had to live in the pale of settlements (modern day this refers to Latvia Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus, the eastern half of Poland, and a good chunk of Ukraine.
I’m also annoyed at the portrayal of lord Balfour. He may have had other motives but he also recognized how poorly Europe had treated the Jews for centuries and wanted to make it right in some way.
Wait, so you’re saying Jewish Russians weren’t Russian? I’m sorry but that’s ridiculous. It’s like saying a Japanese American isn’t an American or that a German Jew isn’t a Jew (like the USA said of Japanese Americans or the Nazis said of German Jews during the Second World War). While they might have different cultural practices, they are still very much of the nation they were born in, whether they be Jewish or any other ethnicity or culture. You’re playing into a talking point used by the literal fucking Nazis, that of “dual loyalty”.
Thanks for the video, Ruddy, and i hope you had a happy Easter
2:47 I've just started watching this video, I had to pause it to say thanks for the mention, Mr Ruddy. I'm sure your special take on history will do this conflict justice, and thanks for making content like this free to watch. With support from New Zealand 🇳🇿.

Lovely content, but I do have to say some things are somewhat misleading....
Jews in Arab states werent "encouraged" by Israel to leave. In what is in many ways a reverse Nakba, the Arab states they lived in relentlessly persecuted them and forced them out.
The 1948 Arab Israeli war was the result of the Jewish state declaring its independence, but also all neighbouring Arab Nations and Palestinians absolutrly refusing the UN compromise which drew the borders, something Israel accepted.
Now these borders suited Israel just fine, and the Palestinians saw some of the land granted to the Jews as theirs (which to be fair, some was).
Regardless, the bloodshed and violence needs to end. What the Israeli government is currently doing in Gaza is horrific, and so were the attacks made by Hamas.
Too many people have died. The only way we can live together is to put this all behind us.
I'm palestinian and that's definitely true. And some were also terrorized by the zionists in their arab countries like throwing hand grenades into synagogues in iraq
I can’t believe you just equated what a bunch of rugtag losers like hamas did to an occupying force to a nuclear state leveling the whole land,This two things aren’t equivalents.
Am Yisrael Chai!
@ot8479Amazing, all three actions are in response to Arab terror against the Jews which started in the 1800s (even before), the list of Arab massacres on Jews is much larger and goes back further.
Much worse than the Nakba
Arabs mostly left because of there commanders. Jews left because they were kicked out (a much higher percentage of Jews who left were kicked out then Arabs who left)
Make peace not war 🇮🇱☮️🇵🇸
Laugh react
There will be no peace until Palestine has all of its land
Peace you make with defeated enemies
I support neither side. I just want this war to end and for innocents on both sides to not suffer
There will be no peace so long as the settler colonialist regime continues to exist
The Romans changed the region name to Palastine in order to seperate the Jew's connection to the land. You didn't mention why that did that.
You also missed when then Islamist arabs invaded them, driving out the local population and colonizing it themselves.
10:00 You forgot to mention it being in retaliation of hundreds of years of muslim wars and aggression.
This video seems to be coming at it from a biased angle with what it being left out.
more like history sides with the palestinians and your crying over it
Regardless of your point. The indigenous people who called themselves Palestinian were expelled from their land to make way for foreigners.
I say the indigenous people the Palestinians have more Jew DNA in them than the foreigners.
Stop defending the indefensible.

@@godhelp7535History sides with no-one. Both parties of this conflict have committed atrocities and portraying either side as righteous is absolutely wrong.
1. No they didn’t. The name Palestine finds its earliest uses in the roughly translated Egyptian “Peleset” and Assyrian “Palashtu” in referring to the region, as well as the Biblical Philistines. In the Torah, the area of Palestine was never given clearly defined boundaries, but was just said as having been in conflict with the Kingdom of Israel. The Greeks used the term Palestine as early as the 5th Century, and Romans renamed Judea as Syria Palaestina as it was part of larger Syria. It is unknown if this happened before the Bar Kokhba revolt or after. It is inaccurate to say that the name Palestine was exclusively used to pave over Israel and erase Israel’s Jewish roots.
2. When? I’d love to know exactly what colonization or conquest you’re talking about. Was this before or after the Jewish diaspora into the wider European continent after the Bar Kokhba revolt?
3. Muslim wars and aggression? It’s hard to say that this “aggression” is unique to the Muslim nations of the time. Compared to their European counterparts, the Muslim nations were actually considered more peaceful and accepting of different faiths during the Middle Ages. As well as being a hub for growing scientific and mathematical knowledge, Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike were allowed to life their lives practicing their own religion. So painting Muslim nations with such a broad brush just comes off as Xenophobic. What about the aggressive and warmongering Italian states, constantly embroiled in their own civil wars? And their aggressive colonization of the Mediterranean? Wouldn’t that perhaps make Muslim states nervous for a European Catholic invasion? Or maybe you can’t paint states full of “people I don’t like” as violent and destructive without proof.
John, I can understand the trepidation you had over posting this. It's about to be your most watched video ever. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to create and publish this video. It's important. You're exasperated reasoning at the end really resonated with me deeply. I hope someone learns this lesson.
I need to actually clarify the "migration" claim regarding the Jews in the middle east
Whilst it is true many Jews did come into Israel after the establishment of the State in 1948, they usually found themselves in the same situation as the Palestinians during the Nakba
It's estimated 900,000 to over a Million Jews were expelled from their homes in Muslim majority countries, reasons can vary including;
Not able to own property, not able to work or even have a living, not able to practice their religion
Most of Israel's population is mainly Middle Eastern Jews, such as those from Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Sudan ETC.
Friendly reminder; compared to the Middle East not allowing Jews to practice their religion in public or even at all, there are churches, mosques, synagogues etc, all in Israel so people of all faiths can practice their religions
The Jews weren't convinced to migrate to Israel, they were FORCED to, EXPELLED, an Ethnic Cleansing if you will
If you knew history, you wouldn’t say what you just said. When the collective West refused to take in Jewish refugees during world war 2, it was the Islamic world that gave the Je..ws refuge , especially Turkey and Palestine. When Christian Europe kicked the Jews out of Spain in the 15th century, the Muslims gave refuge to the Jews, in Morroco, Palestine, Iraq, all over the Islamic world. don’t take my word for it , look it up! Antisemitism historically was never a problem of the Islamic world where Jews lived peacefully. Let’s look at 2 Jewish sources on this , 1: Let’s see what a Jewish Historian says about this, «Jews under medieval Islam never suffered from the same general negative perception as in the Christian West. Despite regional variations and high medieval political instability, in medieval Islam multicultural environments, combined with active engagement in sciences and literature, led to something of an Islamic golden age for the Jews, at least according to most historical accounts. It has been primarily in the context of recent political developments that the once assumed positive views of Jewish life under medieval Islam have been seriously questioned.» Source : Dean Phillip Bell, Jews in the Early Modern World. New York, 2008, p. 25. 2: the Jewish magazine, the Jewish chronicles say the following: «Islam saved Jewry. This is an unpopular, discomforting claim in the modern world. But it is a historical truth…Within a century of the death of Mohammad, in 632, Muslim armies had conquered almost the whole of the world where Jews lived, from Spain eastward across North Africa and the Middle East as far as the eastern frontier of Iran and beyond. Almost all the Jews in the world were now ruled by Islam. This new situation transformed Jewish existence. Their fortunes changed in legal, demographic, social, religious, political, geographical, economic, linguistic and cultural terms - all for the better…»
Who resettled Jews in Palestine after their long exile since Roman times ? The Muslims did ! Go look this up! The second Khalif of Islam Umaar Ibn Al-Khattab resettled Jews back in Palestine in the 7th century. Umaar brought Jews from Medina, and resettled them in Jerusalem. The Jews had been kicked out by the Romans. Those Jews have nothing to do with the modern Jews of Poland , Hungary and Russia who are not from the Middle East, they’re Europeans.
No they werent, actual historians and actual jews who still live in muslim countries such as in yemen, iraq, syria, Lebanon and morocco would suggest otherwise
Israeli Historians like Avi Shlaim , himself a middle eastern jew has documented the history of middle Eastern Jews and the assertions in your comment are not historically accurate ! About middle Eastern Jews : «Invention of the Mizrahim:
Israel invented the word Mizrahim to strip Arab Jews of their histories as they tried to do with Palestinians. The State of Israel was conceived at the turn of the 20th century in Eastern Europe by a group of elite European Jews who launched a movement called Zionism that sought to establish a physical nation state exclusive to Jews. It was a typical settler colonial enterprise, complete with the narrative of a divine mandate and a non-existent or savage indigenous population, central to which was the myth that Jews of the world formed a singular people, favored by God, who were returning to their singular place of origin - Palestine - after a three thousand year absence. Although it was a project conceived in Europe by Europeans and for European Jews, they lacked sufficient numbers to build a population large enough to conquer the indigenous Palestinian population. Thus, recruitment of Jews from the surrounding Arab world was a necessary inconvenience. They did so through propaganda and by creating false flag terror incidents (bombing of synagogues or Jewish centres) in order provoke an exodus of Arab Jews. A prime example of this happened in Iraq, where the oldest Jewish community in the world had lived for millennia as contributing members of Iraqi society, and who prospered, contributed to the arts and the economy, and participated in government.
But these Jews were not embraced as brethren by European Zionists. Zionism was decidedly colonial, and that meant that Jews of the Arab world were seen as incomplete, barbaric, dirty, uncivilised. Za’ev Jabotinsky, one of the forefathers of Zionism said, “We Jews have nothing in common with what is called the Orient, thank God. To the extent that our uneducated masses [Arab Jews] have ancient spiritual traditions and laws that call the Orient, they must be weaned away from them, and this is in fact what we are doing in every decent school, what life itself is doing with great success. We are going in Palestine, first for our national convenience, [second] to sweep out thoroughly all traces of the Oriental soul.” A multitude of programs and protocols were implemented towards this goal. One of the most egregious was a large initiative of stealing the babies of Arab Jews and giving them to be raised by European Jews. But the larger efforts were simple propaganda campaigns that were implemented in schools, communities, and national projects.
In essence, it was a project to strip ancient peoples of their identities, which was not unlike what they tried to do to Palestinians. Zionists were trying to create a new nation with a unified people. So, they could not abide allowing parts of this population to continue to identify as Iraqi, Moroccan, Persian, Tunisian, and so on, and certainly not as Arab Jews. At the same time, the racist impulses of colonialism could not abide putting these people on par with Jews of Europe. They could not simply be Jews in the new Jewish state. Thus, the word Mizrahim, from the Hebrew and Arabic words meaning “those of the East,” was popularised to lump all of these peoples of different nations into a single miscellaneous category that erased their individual ancient histories and cultures that spanned thousands of years of life and tradition, replete with countless and invaluable achievements in their respective nations.
Before Israel, Jews of Iraq identified as Iraqi, of Morocco as Moroccan, of Tunisia as Tunisian, of Iran as Persian, of Syria as Syrian, of Egypt as Egyptian, and of Palestine as Palestinian. They spoke Arabic, ate the same foods as their Christian and Muslim compatriots, celebrated and partook in the same national events and traditions, lived by the same social protocols, and moved through their respective cultures as other natives did. And despite the similarities of their cultures, Tunisians were distinct from Egyptians, who were both distinct from Iraqis, who were distinct from Moroccans, etc. But Israel collapsed them all under a single identity, which was to be distinguished only from Ashkenazis, European Jews, who were higher up on the social order, and, of course, from non-Jewish Palestinians and Arabs, who were to be despised. The level of their resulting self-hate can be measured in the heightened cruelty they practise against Palestinians.
However, as Zionists would learn from Palestinians, erasing the identity of others is not an easy task. Memory is stubborn, and roots will continue to tug at humans long after they’ve been uprooted. Arab Jews continued to speak Arabic at home, to dance to Arabic music, eat Arab food, and dream of once again seeing the mountains, rivers, architecture, libraries, and colours of Persia, Babylon, North Africa and the Levant. Israel has moved away slightly from early Zionism’s contempt for our part of the world. And while it remains a colonial project, bent on erasing the native Palestinian presence, their social efforts are more focused on “indigenising” themselves to the land. The obstinacy of Arab Jews in clinging to their cultural roots has provided a convenient avenue to lay claim to regional indigenous culture. So now, Arab foods (like falafel, hummus, shakshouka), traditional Arab clothing (like tatreez, galabiyas, keffiyehs), and Arab folkloric dances are all being rebranded as “Israeli,” yet another phase of colonial renaming, and they use the rebranded Arab Jews to justify their claim.» An article by Susan Abulhawa
Let’s see what your own Je..wish sources say about this : the Je..wish magazine, the Je..wish chronicles say the following: «Islam saved Je..wry. This is an unpopular, discomforting claim in the modern world. But it is a historical truth…Within a century of the death of Mohammad, in 632, Muslim armies had conquered almost the whole of the world where Je..ws lived, from Spain eastward across North Africa and the Middle East as far as the eastern frontier of Iran and beyond. Almost all the Je..ws in the world were now ruled by Islam. This new situation transformed Je..wish existence. Their fortunes changed in legal, demographic, social, religious, political, geographical, economic, linguistic and cultural terms - all for the better…»
Also, anti-Semitism & Islamophobia & discrimination & hate of any kind have no place on Sesame Street or any street.
Syria Palestina meant that Judea was annexed to the province of Syria. Later a Palestina province was carved out, but "Syria Palestina" was not a separate province next to Syria like the map suggests, that would have been silly
I think you exaggerate American aid.
Israel's weapons in 1948 war was mostly funded by Czechoslovakia (encouraged by USSR), not the USA. At that time USSR wanted to get a socialist foothold in the Middle East. Israel was quiet socialist in the 40s.
During 6 Day War, US didn't provide aid to Israel. Most Israeli weapons were bought from France and Britain before.
Israel's Iron Dome is Israeli design. Rafael, the company that developed the system, have factories in USA. Sure US did paid some of those systems for IDF. But at the end, it is an Israeli weapon
So if USA removed its financial support tomorrow, Israel would be fine?
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan
If the US just decided to take a hands-off approach to Israel, then sure, Israel would be fine. US support for Israel were not really significant, until after the Six Day War
Israel is much stronger than it was founded, and has one of the world's best domestic arms industries in the world. They are second Biggest Arms supplier of India and Vietnam. Most of the US' foreign aid to Israel is 3.8 billions military aid, which is like 16% of the aid, and Israel's defence industry already exports hundreds of millions of dollars worth of arms every year. They don't rely on foreign military aid to defend themselves. As the matter of fact, without aid, Israel's military industry might be forced to grow, which benefits their home industry in long term, but bad for US arms industry
Also US "aid" to Israel isn't even all that high in comparison to what the USA spends on its other allies. The USA spends 10s of billions on putting a military presence in it's foreign allies. The main difference with Israel is that Israel is risking its own troops. The USA spends far more on their presence in South Korea, Japan, Turkey, Germany, Iraq, etc... no one mentions that.
The Israeli Military Industry is also part of the reason that even if the US stops actively supporting Israel, they probably won't actually turn against Israel. If Israel were backed into the corner and the US started being an enemy, instead of an ally, the Israelis develop some of the world's most advanced military technology, and could use that as leverage to get a different foreign backer. Russia is active in the Middle East, and would kill to get their hands on Israeli military tech. China would be another option, although, given the neighbourhood, India would be an interesting option. If Russia or China or India collaborated with Israel, things would actually look bad for the United States. Also, US aid is not exactly a 1 way street. US benefit a lot by funding Israeli military. It can access to Israel's military technology and prohibit them from selling those to American opponents (like China).
In general, Israel has benefitted from US assistance for a long time, but they don't need that aid to survive. Many Arabs thought they could wipe out Israel in the cradle in 1948, but they failed. If Israel could survive back then with US arms embargo (yes, US embargoed selling weapons to both sides of the conflict), it could totally survive nowadays.
Lol 70% of military aid to Israel comes from USA. Next in line is Germany and UK
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan The financial support amount to 3 B a year, Israel will survive without it
@@JohnDRuddyMannyManyou strawmanned his argument. He made no mention of modern US support
Thank you John. It feels sometimes that there are some people who are not learning from the mistakes of the past, and are continuing to let dehumanisation take hold of their fears.

@22:11 you're missing the whole part where Germany was joined by the Ottoman empire which was decolonized by the British empire with the agreement England would divide the Arabian peninsula for freeing it from the Ottomans and under the same agreement wrote the boundaries for virtually Every current country in the region including Jordan Lebanon Saudi Arabia and even Egypt coming into existence after being freed from the Ottoman Empire which again had allied itself from Germany during WW1 (pre Nazi)
And the Arab rebels were promised they'd get a unified state consisting of all the Ottomans' territories from Syria to Yemen, and instead they were carved up and turned into British and French colonies. They weren't "freed" from anything.

But you're also leaving out the ethnic and religious differences which made a single state an impossibility.
@@libertatemadvocatus1797, whether or not that's true (which I doubt), the fact is the Hashemites were promised a single state, and the Entente betrayed that promise in nearly every way imaginable.
Destiny's historical reading of the situation is much better than this. Israel wasn't a colonial state
The names and purposes of the early colonization instruments read as follows: "The Jewish Colonial Trust" (1898), the "Colonization Commission" (1898), the "Palestine Land Development Company.”

For some months mutual friends have been trying on my behalf to arrange a meeting between us. At the moment, however, I am so inordinately busy that it would hardly be possible for me to come to London, unless I knew in advance that you took a serious interest in the matter. This, to be sure, would be a sufficiently strong reason to travel, for I need you. In fact, all things considered, you are the only man who can help me now. Of course, I am not concealing from myself the fact that you are not likely to do so. The probability is perhaps one in a million, if this can be expressed in figures at all.
But it is a big-some say, too big-thing. To me it does not seem too big for Cecil Rhodes. This sounds like flattery; however, it does not reside in the words, but in the offer. If you participate, then you are the man. If you don't, then I have simply made a mis take.
You are being invited to help make history. That cannot frighten you, nor will you laugh at it. It is not in your accustomed line; it doesn't involve Africa, but a piece of Asia Minor, not Eng- lishmen, but Jews.

"It is utterly impossible to obtain the voluntary consent of the Palestine Arabs for converting Palestine from an Arab country into a country with a Jewish majority. My readers have a general idea of the history of colonisation in other countries. I suggest they consider all the precedents with which they are acquainted, and see whether there is one solitary instance of any colonisation being carried on with the consent of the native population. There is no such precedent. [...] This is equally true of the Arabs. They feel at least the same instinctive, jealous love of Palestine as the old Aztecs felt for ancient Mexico, and the Sioux for their rolling prairies. [...] Every native population in the world resists colonists as long as it has the slightest hope of being able to rid itself of the danger of being colonised. That is what the Arabs of Palestine are doing, and what they will persist in doing as long as there remains a solitary spark of hope that they will be able to prevent the transformation of Palestine the Land of Israel."

@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan But you were incredibly biased and misleading in this especially after the 1900's. Those Jews across the Muslim world did not go to Israel because they were encouraged to by Israel, they were persecuted and kicked out. Plus you only ever paint the Palestinian side as the victims when they also committed their fair share of violence. The un plan was not put into work because it was rejected by the Palestinians because they wanted the whole area and for Israel not to exist. Also the use of the term Palestinian for the Muslims only was adopted in 1967. Also during that invasion Jews who had been living in the west bank and Gaza were kicked out by the Jordanian invading force.
As for apartheid if they want their own state then Palestinians would not have full rights as those who are native to israel like how I cannot vote in French elections that is how boards and countries work. Also 20% of Israel are Arab Muslims who are also a part of the IDF and have many high ranking positions in the judiciary system, army and government, as for South Africa there is still apartheid and targeted genocide against white farmers now even propagated by politicians there.
Hamas are the ones taking all the money and food and starving there people because they want to win over the people online through propaganda, I still believe that children of year 7 and under should have been and still should be evacuated but the education system there is like the Hitler youth.
Also many deaths are unintended casualties, the IDF do not maliciously target aid workers or most journalists (some journalists were in kahoots with hamas).
Overall it seems like you think Israel should not exist.
There will only be peace when Hamas is gone, a proper government that will recognise israel as a country is put in place and Gaza rebuilt by Israel.

@patrickparker7430 that doesn't change the fact they instantly started committing such acts on the locals when given the slightest bit of power. Its a fact they are an occupation. It's makes perfect sense why someone would want death for their occupiers.
The funny part is the Palestinians have the Judah gene that lived there thousands of years ago, they never left they had to convert
This video was so beautifully done!
I noticed there is no mention of the leader of the Arabs in Palestine; Amin Al Husseini, who was an actual Nazi who was prosecuted by the Allies post-war for collaborating with Hitler, notwithstanding conveniently leaving that part out; the creator also left out the extensive persecution of Jews in arab nations before the founding of the state of Israel (eg. The Farhud, lack of property rights and pogroms in North Africa); the fact the Arabs rejected every single 2 state solution offered to them including the peel Commission and the UN resolution, and they seem to have completely fabricated the United states arming Israel in the 1940s when in reality whilst they recognized Israel straight away they held an arms embargo against both sides for the duration of the conflict.
It is important to note the British actually supported the Arab armies far more in the 1948 war with British officers directing some of the more elite Jordanian army units so I'm not sure where the idea of Britain as their "overlord" comes from, furthermore, they reneged on the Balfour declaration by appointing to Husseini as the leader of Jerusalem AGAIN conveniently left out here. Not telling the whole truth is tantamount to lying when studying history.
This man should really stick to drawing Pokemon tutorials
why would someone accept a deal that would displace millions of their people and give them the worse quality land whilst the colonisers/settlers would receive the rich and fertile lands?
@@tomgachagan1347 sorry but you're misinformed. The UN proposal for the foundation of the state of Israel did not call for the displacement of the Arabs living in mandatory Palestine nor did the Israeli Declaration of Independence, such guarantees are included in the declaration itself:
" we call upon the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to return to the ways of peace and play their part in the development of the State, with full and equal citizenship and due representation in its bodies and institution" - from the Israeli declaration of independence written in 1948 by David Ben Gurion.
Also, the land marked for a Jewish state in the partition plan consisted mostly of the Negev desert, which was largely uninhabited and unirrigated contrary to your aspersion of the lands being "rich and fertile", the Arab land contained all of the larger urban areas of the land as well as extensive arrable land.

You are trying to present this as an objective read on history, But this is a mere interpretation of yours and also an highly inaccurate one. What genocide are you talking about? What mass starvation? No numbers support your claims. What kind of “historian” are you? Do you know what genocide really looks like? Try covering what Bassar El Assad did it his people on Syria, or the war in Yemen, or what the Turks did and still doing to The Armanians and Kurds.
I don’t mind you being a hypocrite and ignorant, But all in all this is pretty amateur work if I’ll be honest. Considered subscribing when I saw the title, but hard pass for me.
It's SO biased.
At 18:22 he says that the Balfour declaration recognized a future Jewish home on Arab land. When did it become “Arab” land?? It might be properly referred to as Ottoman land, but not Arab. To call it Arab is setting up a false narrative that pervades the rest of the video. What is worse is at 20:39, the word Palestinian is used to describe the Muslim anti-Zionist population. This is highly misleading and historically inaccurate. All the people who lived in “Palestine” were Palestinian. This included Christian Palestinians, Jewish Palestinians and Muslim Palestinians. The use of the term “Palestinian” to refer only to the Muslim Palestinians was a new term coined by Yassir Arafat. It has a deeply political appeal because it allowed the Palestinian Muslims to label themselves with the land at the exclusion of the Jewish Palestinians and the Christian Palestinians. Golda Meir, an early Prine Minister of Israel, called herself a Palestinian Jew. This commandeering of the word “Palestinian” was a trick of the tongue and one this presenter uses for the rest of the film to further a misleading narrative. It right away sows the seed that the “Palestinians” from which the Jews were unilaterally excluded, are associated with the land and the Jews are not. Labels matter. “Pro Life” Americans could just as easily be called “anti-Abortion rights” but they developed and use the term “pro life” to frame the narrative. Those who co-opted the term “Palestinian” did so for their own political purposes. A true historian might still use the term “Palestinian (since that term has been so successfully tied yo only the Muslim Palestinians) but must explain the use of the term and its qualifications. Failing to do this makes the reporter complicit in excluding the Jews, an intentional or unintentional act that is, at the very least, negligent. He then commits a heinous act by, at 23:42, including the deaths of Soviet Civilians and other collateral casualties of war as “Holocaust Victims.” No. These were victims of war, not the Holocaust. In no legitimate historical text, do we see civilian deaths in WWII listed as Holocaust victims. That “distinction” is reserved for the Jews, Gypsies and others who were persecuted on the basis of their identity. Other deaths of civilians are casualties of war. This also is no mistake by the author. This is precisely what antisemites do when they try to dilute the Jewish nature of the Holocaust. At 25:23, he explains that the UN proposed a partition plan but “none of this was implemented as it sparked a civil war between the Jews and Arabs….” Oh geez! It was never implemented because it was flatly rejected by the Palestinian Muslims. I guess he forgot to mention that. He then points out that the fighting happened “as the 2/3 majority Arabs would be getting less than half of the land.” Kind of true but misleading. Most of the land allocated to the Jews was the unpopulated, arid Sinai desert which had been left unpopulated and was deemed not arable by the Muslims. He soon goes on to state that the Arab states invaded Israel but what pushed the Arabs out was an Israeli victory. This is false. What pushed many Arabs out was the war started by the invasion. In fact, there exist today the news accounts from the invading Arab states whose leaders urged the Muslims to pack up and get out in advance of the invasion and that they will soon be able to return after the Jews are defeated. The historical inaccuracies are manifest throughout this video. I stopped watching at 25:44.
What you have sent is 100% true ✡
Much of what you just said is meaningless and historically inaccurate. We should all hope too Free Palestine from needless slaughter 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Another thing to mention is the Jewish state, as laid out by the 1947 UN partition plan, would have been only 55% Jewish, whereas the Arab state would have been 99% Arab. [1] The proposed Jewish state would have only contained 20% of the arable land in all of Mandate Palestine. [2]
It's hard to say that Israel would have always treated the Arabs outside of its borders so harshly, since Israeli violence against the Arabs has always been reciprocal to, sometimes massive, Arab violence. The Six Day War, inclusive- considering the Arab states' flagrantly provocative actions.

@@coleschoenberg9971explain how they’re wrong
Sorry Manny but the US did not arm or fund Israel at all until after the six day war. In fact there was a strict arms embargo on Israel during the 1948 war. This should be corrected.
its because those in charge know we are easier to control divided, if we stood together we could topple the unjust regimes that run our lives, but if they keep us radicalized and angry at each other, they can keep us controlled, and that is what is happening
This is gonna be a fun comments section. Get your popcorn here
29:20 "The UN called for" the UN is a political organization, not a legal organization. They did not even mention Palestinians at all in that resolution. The wording of that resolution was sent back 3 times before it was finally approved.
I like how he goes into detail about Jewish persecution and expulsion in Europe, but glosses over Jewish persecution and expulsion from Arabic empires and Arab states in the 1960s, saying that Israel "recommended" they move.
I found that weird too, but later on he brings up that many antisemites are zionists, because it validates some final solution.
Arabs can do no wrong. Everyone knows that Islamic empires were peaceful and beautiful places with no ethnic cleansing or religious oppression.
no, islam is a religion of peace and they would never do anything like genocide
I 100% bet you guys are Westeners.
@@whailingwhale6352 I'm hispanic, lol. Also, I like you, didn't even deny it.
Thanks for the video, it was very informative. I have a question, given the amount of hardliners on both side, can you see a solution to the conflict that is humane?
well ther almost was a solution in the early 2000s
then the arab population sayed fuck negotiation put those who screamed lets go to war the loadest in charge (the hamas)
and as the the Israeli government didn´t do anything he was viewed as a traitor for letting terrorist take power
he was murdered
I agree with the general message of this video, in that violence against anyone is never justified and a peaceful solution is always to be sought.
But there are sadly so many (minor, but all too more important, regarding this topic) historical mistakes and missing of nuance, that it makes me question if they were just accidents or deliberate. All in all, really not a good video, even though you got your heart in the right place.
I wish this comment had more likes
23:43 why did you show Ukraine there out of all the places, not France, Hungry or Romania, which all kept much greater degrees of autonomy compared to Ukraine? I thought this wouldn’t be “Anti imperialist” contrarianism but alas I am wrong
I've studied the Levant and Near East for many years, this video is a fantastic compilation and history of the Palestine/Israel story
Thanks for posting man ❤
I love you man been watching you since elementary man and now I’m graduating high school keep up the good work👍
I’m not really terribly concerned about going back to 1200 BC, I’m more concerned with the 20 years since Israel abandoned Gaza and the Palestinians have had a state which they turned into what people call an open air prison. Israel has tried over and over and over again to make peace with the Palestinians and the Palestinians just can never ever bring themselves to take the deal. I don’t care about the Palestinians anymore, they need to surrender and they need to made to make peace, or they need to be shoved into Jordan and Egypt and never let back in. Their entire national identity is tied up in oppression. Except they’re not oppressed anymore, they have had sovereignty well something close to sovereignty for nearly 20 years. The rest of the sovereignty that they don’t have, they don’t have because they can’t be trusted with it. They need to surrender utterly.
Just wanted to say, that I was recommended this. So keep up the good work John, your message is spreading ❤️🙏
Israelis and the Palestinians have realized that god sold them a time share
and they say real estate is easy
It doesnt have to be this way. If Palestinians hadnt taken on h!tler’s dreams everyone can live on the land together. The palestinians despise the jews and only want them in tiny numbers to more easily control them and to not worry about any uprisings from an oppressed dhimmi group. Its pure racism on the palestinian’s part. Jews have lived in many lands only for their oppressors to mistreat them and to make up excuses like eating baby blood or being r@pists. Horrible blood libels. And palestinians still spew these lies to this day with the intent of wanting to dehumanize and genoc!de the jews as h!tler had wanted to do. They are impossible to live with, and they should fully know why the jews want to live there and that jews are ultimately the aboriginal people. Its absolutely abhorrent.
You're very brave, John! Thank you for the video!
Thank for making this
Thank you for this very good historical summary of this conflict. I commend you for the effort. However, I have one criticism about your speech at the end of the video, and if anyone reads this and know more about this, then perhaps you can help me. The “Free Palestine” Movement wishes to achieve the complete removal of the state of Israel, yet you also seem to be in favour of (or at least open to) a two state solution. I would suggest this is quite contradictory. It seems to be very ironic that you say that “we keep falling for mistakes and being fed lies” and then you go ahead and support the aggression and support of terror, by showing support to this movement. I suppose this is not your intention, but I think we should be careful about acts like these. I am referring to around 50:00 in this video.
Personally, I recognise the state of Israel and I do not believe that the UK was in the wrong to be in possession of the territory after the events of WW1. In my view, if you are going to call this colonisation, then it would be like calling the management of Germany after WW2, colonisation. And in this particular conflict, I also see the occupation of Gaza by Israel in itself as a self-defence act, and we must not forget that they are dealing with multiple terror groups, or at least one.
Finally, I will add that I also condemn any unnecessary killing of innocent civilians on either side of this conflict, and I condemn Israel for the settlements in the West Bank and Gaza (Even though Israel have later pulled out of Gaza in terms of these settlements). Israel has seemingly been careless and brutal about the civilians in Gaza since October, and I think this should have consequences for them as well.
I suggest we do not pick any sides in this conflict, but work for peace for all.
A very measured response. Thank you. I’ll reply properly later hopefully :)
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan That sounds good. I'm looking forwards to learn more 👍
14:55 , The region of Palestine referenced in 1890 report includes, The provinces of Jerusalem, Nablus, Acre, Beirut (part of it including the city), and Damascus (part of it including the city).
Thus the comparison with what is known today as Palestine is of little use.
What it does tell us, is that even though the area referenced to shrinks (British mandate of Palestine only included Israel and Jordan), the Muslim population grows at what seems to be normal rates for the area. Since the people here did not have wayy more children than anywhere else it points to migration within the area.
Specifically migration into the west side of the Jordanian river, is because of the economic prosperity the region has witnessed, mainly because of the Jewish settlements.
Before you call me racist, it is proven that there have been migrations from the surrounding areas to the mandate.
It is also proven that the Jewish settlements, thanks to the highly educated workers and skilled labourers have become the most advanced and prosperous cities in the region thus attracting the immigrants.
It were also these technological advancements that allowed the population explosion you see demographically.
That video length is...deserved!
and yet it still misses alot of important things, but it's pretty good compared to all the other videos which all suck (from both sides) as they are so empty or so biased it feels like ur watching propaganda (because you are)
Why can’t both coexist peacefully on the same land!! 😢
Okay here @32:00 you simply skipped the part where Lebanon had become a base for the PLO (after being removed by the Jordanians who had claimed this territory through war)which in its charter stated publicly it's goal was to claim the newly created concept of Palestine from the river to the Sea the river being the Jordan River meaning to claim back the territory conquered by Jordan and to qoute "from the river to the sea and tofind every Jew hiding behind a rock tree or in a cave and Mohammed get the Jew hiding behind me" to give the full and accurate direct quoted declaration
But invasion was still probably not the best option. The U.S invasion of Afghanistan was under similar pretenses, but it still led to widespread chaos and civilian death. And as said within the video, the PLO’s radical and antisemitic edge would mellow out, seeking peace rather than conquest. Not every small detail can be addressed all in one video, unfortunately.
@@dionysus913PLO didn t ever wanted any peace! They ended 1st intifada and signed that damned agreements only because they lost all their sponsors and allies at once.

@@BEEFYP.I.M.P.Think: What exactly would have provoked Hamas (who, again, are not representative of the entire Palestinian population or Palestinian political environment) to commit an atrocity on the level of October 7th? It’s not a defense, but when you take into account the cruelties committed against Palestinians by the Israeli Government, it becomes harder and harder to say that October 7th was completely without cause or without precedent. Hell, the Israeli Government was aware that October 7th was going to happen, but dismissed the reports. Nobody is entirely without blame here, but Israelis definitely deserve blame more than others considering they are attempting a literal genocide right now.

My only criticism is that it feels like the jewish people being expelled from israel/ palestine .. how many times? Was glossed over with a mention of it once for like 5 seconds. - But this seems like a great video.
Well done, JDR! Your videos never cease to educate and amaze me. Even on the most sensitive of topics. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
this is really good info. thank you
The Spanish Inquisition was not to convert Muslims and Jews to Christianity. It was to inquire if those who claimed to convert to Christianity were truly converted or if they were heretics.(It only affected Christians, not practicing Muslims or Jews or of any other faith.) This is a big mistake on the videos behalf.
Fair enough, it was an oversimplification
lmao what? Yet they were fleeing the country. Are u dumb?
Very well done! Thank you so much for telling us and animating about the Israel-Palestine conflict!

Well at least I have a better understanding of this conflict thanks John
Israel didn’t start these wars, but they finish them.
Opposite Israel started all of the wars
1948 war was started by Israel committing the nakba
1967 War was started by Israel attacking Egyptian air force
1973 War was started by Israel occupying what was internationally recognized Egyptian and Syrian territory
1983 Lebanon war was invasion
2006 Lebanon war was an invasion

@@michaellynes3540 which of these event you want me to provide evidence for exactly ??
They are all globally accepted facts
@@striker7625 1948 Arab Israeli War happened because of the Arab Leaders not Israel
1967 War the immediate trigger was Egypt’s mobilization of forces in the Sinai, closure of the Gulf of Aqaba to Israeli shipping, and Jordan’s alliance with Egypt and Palestinian querrila groups in other countries increaed attacks on Israel.
1973 War The war aimed to persuade Israel to negotiate more favorable terms for the Arab countries and Israel said they would give the Golen Height for peace but Syria refused.
1983 War was not carried by Israel but by Ismaic Jihadist organization with PLO withdrawal after the war
2006 War was by Hezbollah after israel withdraw in 2000
Question where does it end? When you say Israel will finish it what does that mean.

Zahir Muhsein was a Palestinian leader of the pro-Syria As-Sa'iqa Ba'athist faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization between 1971 and 1979. In an interview with Trouw Magazine, 31. March 1977 he stated....."The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel and for Arab unity....!!!

The conflict is so old that multiple generations of families have forgotten the actual history. I know this because of friends in both sides of all this.
Even if you tell it to their faces as an external party, they won’t believe you. What’s more baffling is that people outside of the conflict are actually picking sides without a full understanding of how it even started in the first place.
OMG THIS. I can't stand it when people pick a side without understanding how we got to this point in the first place.
Couldn't have said it better myself, people who don't know any of the history should really just stay out of it all together instead of picking sides based on personal bias or misinformation
*Reichskristallnacht
That made up term is a propagandistic/psychological piece of art, including the crystal night as some implied winter beauty, freshness, purity, combining with the Reich, the empire, the claim of greatness and unity.

So... can you say purple burgular alarm? I am trying to figure out something.
27:01 I'm a descendant of Iraqi Jews and so I can tell you without a doubt it wasn't Israeli encouragement that convinced my grandparents to flee Iraq.
It was the governing powers within Iraq persecuting jews with most of their life long friends and neighbors turning on them as well (partially as a result of pan-arabism which I noticed was completely neglected to be mentioned in the video).
I disagree with the statement that Israel is a colonial state, but even if you view it's foundation as such you'd have to agree it had become a refuge for persecuted Jews worldwide.
Mossad agents dressed up as Arabs and Muslims and carried out and heinous crimes against Jews in Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Assyria, "Israel" and even their allies UK/USA. The term Islamic terrorism was created by those attack. The reasons being for cheap Jewish labour for the ruling class that is Ashkenazi Jews and the false urgency to build a Jewish Utopia. There are official evidences as well as many whistle blower accounts that lead to arrests and resignations.
exactly. so much disinformation and ommission. first,huge poortion of mizrahi jews aint even from the arab world(my mom's family are from the assyriac jewish diaspora). assyria/kurdistan,india,caucasus,central asia,turkey,iran.and we "lost our arab heritage"? not every middle eastern is arab. he doesnt mention the fact the jewish "colonialism" in israel was jews buying land from the registered owner(as per the ottoman land registry) and many cities like tel aviv and west jerusalem being built before 1917. he doesnt mention that mizrahi jews wanted to move before 1948 and that by 1948 they constituted sixth of the population (and tel aviv first neighbourhoods were created by sephardi and yemenite jews). we would have moved there first if we weren't held as dhimmis till 19th century. he doesnt mention the 1910 shiraz blood libel,1903-1912 morrocan + 1921 nabi mosa +1929 hebron and safed +1938 tiberias +1941 baghdad farhud + 1945 tripoli and egypt's + 1947 eden and aleppo pogroms. he doesnt mention the racist legislation in egypt and baghdad. he doesnt mention the mass massacres against ethnic and religious minorities by pan arabs and islamists since tanzimat. "we were just invited to come to israel"(yeah and we left all our wealth behind giving up on our former citizenships to live in tents in maabarot). he says israel has got aid and weapons from the us after 1948 . no it didnt. we got aid from the american jewish community while the american gov put embargo on us,no major aid till 1967.
Ok but that’s literally the definition of colonial state. It was colonized…. I understand from your perspective arguing that to be a good thing, but to argue against actual reality seems a bit silly.
@@grayishcolors good or not good. muslims(And few non muslims) from all over the ottoman empire moved here, not all were even arabs....circassians of kafr kama and rihania,bosniaks of keisaria,turkmen of abu zurayk and hirbat turkmen,afro arabs from sudan,egyptians from masrawa(biggest muslim clan in israel) and al masri clans,north africans in kafr sabt,bedouins speaking hijazi arabic to this day...they didnt pay anything,just took the land by force or were given it by the ottomans for their services.all while jews were held as dhimmis and barred from moving to their ancestors lands. how does jews purchasing land from the registered owners(in the ottoman land registry which continued into british era) is more of colonialism or less moral? now a jew buying land in the middle east is "colonialism"?
@@grayishcolors no, that is the definition of a refuge: _a condition of being safe or sheltered from pursuit, danger, or trouble._
The Google definition to colonies is: _a country or area under the full or partial political control of another country, typically a distant one, and occupied by settlers from that country._
however the difference here being that Israel is its own country not governed by a foreign rule. (Unless you count US interventionalism and then you might as well count the rest of the world including Europe as colonies.) that also brings into question plenty of Arabs of originated from other countries and migrated to mandatory Palestine.(Not that there is anything wrong with that, but most Muslims living in the North are more culturally aligned with Syria, Muslims within Gaza are more culturally aligned with Egypt, and Muslims living in the West Bank or Judea and Samaria as some prefer had Jordanian citizenship before the agreements between the PLO and Israel, after which they had those revoked)
And of course finally most Jews would argue the entirety of their culture was born and based around the country, if we skim over the Bible we know of the early existence of at the very least two Jewish kingdoms in the area, not to mention DNA tests also confirm a middle eastern origin in Jewish DNA. Personally I don't much care for the last explanation, I just want to live in a country where my well-being and the well-being of my family are truly guaranteed to be protected and not persecuted by the government. And the rest of the world hadn't really given me a true guarantee.
skip intro to the actual video: 3:46
Rudy I wanna say u tried Ur best to simplify the worlds most complicated conflict in an hour and in animated form which isn't easy to be honest but I feel u left out some of the aggressive actions taken by some of the palestinians and Arabs such as the riots the suicide bombings that derailed peace initiatives and the expulsion of Jews from Arab and Muslim countries such as Egypt, I also felt u failed to mention the Arabs rejecting the peace initiatives before 1948 but none the less its just an hour and theres a limit to wat u can mention for a conflict of this nature so i commend u and will definitely be subscribing to ur channel
I know this is besides the point, but this is the first time I've seen your person and I think you look like an incredibly charming guy. Just throwing that out there.
The reason why Jews migrated to Israel was because they had been persecuted for centuries and just got out of the holocaust. The arab nations also persecuted them, so they all believed they had no choice. Would you stay in a home where you are forever a persecuted minority? What would make the settlers think that another holocaust was going to happen in Europe after they just barely escaped Nazi persecution with their lives? It's easy to say "Why can't we all just get along" when you aren't at the reviving over 2000 years worth of persecution.
So if the Jews took a chunk of a European country can we still defend them? Also was America anti-semetic, if not why didn’t they take them in.
Past persecution doesn’t mean you get to walk into someone else’s home, rape their wife and murder them and then live in their house. Before the founding of Israel, Jews came peacefully for the most part, buying land. Then the colonial powers created Israel, giving them tons of land that already had Arabs living on it, so the Israelis raped and pillaged until they had successfully forced most of the Arabs out of their homes.
Also because it’s kinda where the Jews come from. It’s said in the video about the kingdom of Judea or the king of Jews. About 3000-4000 years ago. And they’ve been living their ALONGSIDE the Palestinians for thousands of years continuously.
Palestinians shouldn't pay for 2000 years of European anti-semitism.
*_"Israel made its capital Jerusalem against UN Resolutions"_* UN resolutions are political opinions, Not laws. And, Jerusalem was not anyone else's land but Israels under the International Law of Uti Possidetis Juris. Israel's borders under Uti Possidetis Juris are the former borders of the Mandate of Palestine. It was Egypt and Jordan that took Israeli land (Gaza and the West Bank).
According to the "Palestinians" themselves the West Bank and Gaza were NOT Palestinian sovereign land. This from the 1964 PLO Charter;
*_"This Organization does not exercise any regional sovereignty over the West Bank in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, on the Gaza Strip or the Himmah Area. Its activities will be on the national popular level in the liberational, organizational, political and financial fields."_*
Although UN resolutions are not laws, they hold immense diplomatic and moral authority. So even though one could definitely reject the UN’s statements, it comes at the cost of being alienated and also causing a delegitimization of International Cooperation.
On Uti Possidetis Juris. The principle does indeed support the preservation of existing territorial boundaries upon state succession. However, the application of this principle to the specific case of Jerusalem's status and Israel's borders is complex and subject to interpretation, with many in the international community not recognizing that status for Jerusalem and also the reason why many in the international community do not recognize Israeli claims that the entirety of the lands of the former Mandate of Palestine belongs to them. However, this is subject to anyone’s specific interpretation of international law and also where they politically lean.
The PLO did say they didn’t have any regional sovereignty over Gaza and West Bank as of 1964, that is true. However, this is because of the current political reality and historical context of the time which was, as you’ve shown in the quote, that the West Bank and Gaza were under the administration and control of Jordan and Egypt respectively. This is did not mean that the PLO relinquished the rest of its claim to the lands of the Mandate of Palestine under Israel. The possible historical reason for this is that the PLO didn’t want to alienate itself from its Arab allies (and perhaps wanted to conjoin its movement with the broader Arab Nationalist movement) and also wanted to be able to achieve a sovereign state within internationally recognized borders. Then, finally to note is that the PLO's stance evolved over time, particularly after the 1967 Six-Day War when Israel gained control of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Subsequent to this conflict, the PLO expanded its territorial claims to encompass these territories and asserted its sovereignty over them in pursuit of Palestinian statehood.
Even if it wasn’t technically illegal, it’s still definitely not a good action. Not every legal action is moral, and not every illegal action is immoral. You’re confusing legality with morality here.
@@fives5555arcLook up Dr. Jacques Gauthier who wrote his doctorate on the status of Jerusalem. There are several videos and articles on him and his work. Please search, *_"Whose Land?"_*_ by UKLFI Charitable Trust_
This video changed my mind, i've been trying to find some kind of understanding of whats happening. It's taken multiple videos
Towards which side?
Excellent graphics, they really help visualise history - helps me to get it so much better!
great graphics,just shame he gives so much disinformation and ommits crucial information. so much disinformation and ommission. first,huge poortion of mizrahi jews aint even from the arab world(my mom family are from the assyriac jewish diaspora). assyria/kurdistan,india,caucasus,central asia,turkey,iran.and we "lost our arab heritage"? not every middle eastern is arab. he doesnt mention the fact the jewish "colonialism" in israel was jews buying land from the registered owner(as per the ottoman land registry) and many cities like tel aviv and west jerusalem being built before 1917. he doesnt mention that mizrahi jews wanted to move before 1948 and that by 1948 they constituted sixth of the population (and tel aviv first neighbourhoods were created by sephardi and yemenite jews). we would have moved there first if we weren't held as dhimmis till 19th century. he doesnt mention the 1910 shiraz blood libel,1903-1912 morrocan + 1921 nabi mosa +1929 hebron and safed +1938 tiberias +1941 baghdad farhud + 1945 tripoli and egypt's + 1947 eden and aleppo pogroms. he doesnt mention the racist legislation in egypt and baghdad. he doesnt mention the mass massacres against ethnic and religious minorities by pan arabs and islamists since tanzimat. "we were just invited to come to israel"(yeah and we left all our wealth behind giving up on our former citizenships to live in tents in maabarot). he says israel has got aid and weapons from the us after 1948 . no it didnt. we got aid from the american jewish community while the american gov put embargo on us,no major aid till 1967.
I love your videos John, but just 4 corrections/comments:
Kibbutz is a hebrew word, not yiddish
Most zionists based their movement off of nationalist movements like Irish nationalism not colonial ones
Jews were already the majority in Jerusalem by the time that Zionism ramped up
Egypt and Jordan annexed the Gaza strip and West bank respectively out of their own volition
And most Mizrahi Jews came to Israel due to their own beliefs or persecution in Arab and muslim countries
All of these come from a source of bias, which I understand, im biased to. But hopefully this helps balance out an “unbiased” video
