- 70 years have passed since the Nakba, the “catastrophe” in Arabic, took place in Palestine in 1948.
In which more than 750,000 Palestinians were forcefully displaced from their homes and pushed into refugee camps in East Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and neighbouring countries.

As a British citizen of Uk , I feel deeply embarrassed of what this country has done . I hope one day Palestine is Free and they do indeed get their land back.
Do you think the uk has responsibility to right it's wrong? Should (in your own personal opinion) england. Invade isreal?
@@ryanhawkins4548 UK was responsible in the partioning between Israel and Palestine.
When will you do your research and make conclusions on your own? Maybe you believe that a people who have a history of lying are not lying this time....
@@packerfan66 I'm not going to even bother spending my time on someone who is uneducated. On about go and do my own research when I get first-hand news. I don't follow sky news or BBC news and I've done my fair amount of research thank you very much. If you look at the protest happening all over United Kingdom that speaks volumes. Let me rephrase that.. THE WHOLE WORLD
@Johnnyprc incorrect, the deal that Arabs got was 56% go the jews while 46% go to Arabs, that was the deal. At the time there was 1.5 mil Arabs and 400k jews, you have to be crazy to accept a deal like that when jews were the minority.
My life stories with Israeli apartheid:
Since the Nakba in 1948, my Palestinian family has been displaced by Israeli forces from Jericho, their birth place, to three different refugee camps in the West Bank until they settled in one camp near Bethlehem, where they started their fourth new life after all of their assets they had in Jericho like houses, farms , shops, and lands were confiscated by the Israelis and simply given away to Israeli settlers who immigrated to Palestine from Eastern Europe.
After that my dad worked almost all of his life for Israeli building companies in the occupied West Bank to secure basic needs for his children. My mum and despite her mental illness caused by the displacement trauma, had somehow and miraculously managed to keep us all alive , and together.
However the saddest aspect of this brutal Israeli occupation was not the loss of our land in Jericho itself, but the overall poor living conditions we experienced under the apartheid military control where the Israeli soldiers can shoot and kill innocent Palestinians without being prosecuted. Of course, lack of basic human rights has been the main highlight of the Israeli occupiers who did not give neither my mum nor dad any health care, social care, life or health insurance , compensation for displacement , care home or even basic retirement salary as they later became frail and ill. My parents were lucky to bring up a family in such inhumane circumstances and for me they were my biggest heroes and without whom the story of my life would not be possible to tell.
The story of my family is just one of millions of similar stories in Palestine and I’m sure there are more horrific stories to be told, but there are also many that can never be heard as their heroes are no longer with us.
يعيش الفلسطينيون .... سبحان الله ~~~
I am very sorry. I simply can't understand how the leaders of these countries thought it was ok to give away land that was never theirs to give. Adding so much salt to the wounds is what we witness the last 70 years.
BlackDog Is It okay If you can analyse DerekD's comment about Arabs in the video of UATV English's Russian Volunteer Corps?It's in the comment section of BMPWR.
Wasn't Jericho Jordanian after 1948? What are you talking about?
you try to destroy us and to kill us in Israel before 1948, you confiscated jewish lands in Arab countries and now all of the sudden you are telling me abuot your family's property? You forgot what you did to the jews in Hebron in 1929? You forgot that your leader support the Nazis and planed to eliminate us? so now....keep crying my dear and learn a good lesson from the past!
Its insane just how clear cut this issue should be. Yet the palestinians are being slaughtered. If i was treated as such i would resist as well.
From what it looks like, both sides are at fault.
@@Punisher1830Yes, we Palestinians were wrong in that we received Jewish refugees from Europe and gave them safety. If we had expelled them and not received them, all of this would not have happened.
@@bahaaalnajjar9631 now we're seeing a similiar thing happening with migrants in Europe, Europeans are becoming 2nd class citizens in their own country by their treasonous government in similiar type of scenario.
Though politically incorect, Native American tribes stole from and murdered each other, white settlers stole from Native Americans, I'm unsure if it can happen in the U.S. today though.
@@bahaaalnajjar9631 Do you forget that your Arab brothers in the countries of North Africa, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Yemen kicked out 850,000 Jews?
This is propaganda. But if you chose "resistance" you need to understand that "resistance" is not without consequences.
They killed my dad's cousin in the street for having gold between her legs. They also hit my grandpa in the head with a gun. Having been forced out of their house and walk for 2 days to Jerusalem in the hot Desert. Unethical is beyond the word

Once Europeans stop defending them. They will be screwed. They are sarounded by countries and people that hate them. This can only go one way.

naqba is a catastrophe for the 7 arab nations after losing the war they started in 1948
European jews refugees were backed by BRITAIN AND the UN basically the usa before 1948. the European jews refugees were heavily armed they started the fight GOT IT they kill kill torture that's all what they do.
That's what happen when you stole someone's land, if only they could live in peace between 3 abrahamic religions without mass migrations of jews zionists.
Wow its unbelievable to think This is about to happen again in 2023... may allah protect the people of Gaza especially the innocent children and mothers... all we can do now is pray 🇵🇸🤲
This video is missing a few key points -
When jews immigrated around 1900, they never intended to banish any arab. This is casually stated in the video in both showing the letter and also stating that the first immigrant PURCHASED the land in a way to grow their communities peacefully. and for a while - it worked.
When did it stopped working?
Once the arabs in palestine saw that the Balfour Declaration is getting real and half the land will be dedicated to jewish government.
So even though the UN gave the arabs states Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine, for the arabs it wasnt enough. Also religious figures would state that according to Islam, moslem can NOT be the inferior religion. They can accept jews, but only under muslim law.
So they started fighting the jewish immigrants before the jews even had any militant capabilities. This is the reason the jews created the Hagana, which was their main militant force and was mostly passive.
The rejection of the arabs to a jewish state started before any form of zionist crimes.
They could have been a peacful jewish state next to a palestinian state if the arabs wouldn't resist the existence of israel from the get go.
This is the cause of everything - the desire to deny ANY jewish state in Palestine, even though Palestine is the origin of the jews.
These hostilities and attacks of arab villages and communities against the new jewish immigrents gave birth to the Etzel and Lechi, two radical and even terrorist like jewish groups. They were about 200 - 400 of them, compared to the hagana, which is 100000 strong. The Hagana was generaly far more peacful and far more into the diplomatic solution. The radical Etzel and Lechi were a minority but they made some crimes against the population, as the man in the video stated. Mostly in Deir Yassin in order to open up a path for humanitarian aid into the blockaded jewish jerusalem.
The evens in Deir Yassin cause the arab population to be afraid of the jews, assuming that the radical Etsel and Lechi represents the entire jewish military force, and they fled. Most of the 750000 fled on their own, just like the jewish population in the Negen in israel and the northern parts of israel now have fled. It's war. It's dangerous. they fled. So did most of the palestinians. Some where forced to bu jews, but mostly did the reasonable thing and fled.
So in conclusion - the arabs didnt like the idea of a jewish state even as a concept and started a rivalry with the jews to prevent the state from happening.
This rivalry cause a lot of arabs to leave. Israel won and didnt allow the return of the arabs, since they knew that if they return, they will be a hostile population that will try and destroy israel again.
And as you said - these events are the same -
The arabs (Hamas) start a war with with the jews with a desire to eliminate Israel, during the war arab population needs to flee they own homes because they started a war from their own land, and if the jews will win, they will take over the land to prevent future wars on it. It's the same mistake again.
@@SourBiscuits88 I am fully against Hamas but I think your statement is irrelevant.
The Gazans elected Hamas in 2005. There were no elections since then, so if Hamas messed up in the past 17 years, it's not like anyone had a chance to replace him, even if support in Hamas is just 1%.
Also, Hamas will arrest people who are against them or against their way of acting.
On top of that, 50% of the population in Gaza is 18 or younger. so 50% of the population weren't even born when the last election took place. And many of the others were too young to vote. so maybe only about 35% of the population were of voting age when hamas last had elections.
So I don't think that your argument stands.
However, i am pretty sure [according to various factors I'm not gonna go into] that most Gazans support violence and killings against jews, so whether they support hamas or not is irrelevant. However, if they do support violence against jews than yes, they somewhat deserve it.
and yet again - I am going to counter my own argument. Unarmed civilians or civilians that didnt take part in violent acts are out-of-the-question in terms of international law, afaik.
Again? No. Still. It's never stopped in all these 75 years. Who was that guy from the UN who said October 7th didn't happen in a vacuum? He was right.
@@JayeEllis some (definitely not all) palestinians today want a two state solution - palestinians in the west bank and gaza, and israel on the shore, where they are now.
This offer was already there before 1947. If they only agreed there would have been no Nakba and no war and no problem.
The Nakba is the Arabs fault (Palestinians, but also Jordanian, Syrians, Egyptians and Iraqis) for denying jews a land and wanting to do Genocide and ethnical cleansing in 1947-48.
Arabs have proven to themselves that every time they want to hurt the jews or fight for a cause with violence, they will get a worse and worse living conditions, and they are still repeating this mistake for like the 8th time.

Al Jazeera is lying as always. Almost all of the 750.000 Palestinians left voluntarily because the Arab countries were going to attack Israel in 1948. What nobody expected is that Israel won the war. Of course they did not want these Palestinians back so they became refugees. The 160.000 Palestinians who stayed are the ancestors of the now 1.5 million Arab Israeli citizens.
When you always need a lie to smear Israel and can't stay on your feet with the facts then you know that you attack something good. The state of Israel.

All Muslim nations must be united to support Palestinian rights
Why?
Palestinians in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria? The living conditions of Palestinians in these muslim countries are way worst than those Palestinians living in the west bank... muslim countries think these people are a burden to the society
No Muslim state is going to sacrifice blood and treasure in order to give Suha Arafat a kingdom.
There is a contract between U.K./Israel and bin al saud family, but in the contract is written don`t to kill
Why, too, does none of the Arab nations take the current people? They don’t want them, their supposed Muslim brothers, because they threaten the stability of those countries; see Lebanon and Jordan. Egypt doesn’t want them because they would increase the possibility of the country falling into civil war.

After 1918, it belonged to British Empire who, through UN, GAVE a piece of land to Israel in '48 to establish its nationhood.
So, when was Palestine EVER "Palestinians"?
Egypt occupied Gaza and Jordan occupied West Bank from 1948 to 1967.
Where was such a nation called Palestine involved in the wars with Israel during this period? NO!
Totally non-existence. That's why there was no protest to return Gaza and West Bank to the "Palestinians".

Except for groups of wondering arabian gypsies and blatant land robbers, now lying & slandering for the past 50 years.
You see, Palestine never existed as a country or as a nation, or as a state before 1968.
It is just a name for a land mass within the Arabian Peninsula, just like Europe, South America, Africa, Asia, etc.

After the Nakba, villages were destroyed, settlements were built, returning Palestinians were shot at and not allowed re-entry.
Absolutely dishonest and fake retelling of what actually happened
This video is very biased, omitting almost everything that may put a bad light on the Arab side, and I think some details are even a lie.
Some examples:
1. After the war of 1948, Arab armies held Gaza and the Westbank. The Arab nations did not give this territory to the Palestinians, but annexed it, because their goal was not the "liberation of Palestine", but expanding their territory.
2. Arab countries expelled almost all their Jewish citizens, app. 800,000 people in total. This was an atrocity similar to the Nakba.
3. This story about Jews systematically going into Arab villages and killing 10 young people to scare the villagers and make them flee is a plain lie.
I support the goal of justice and liberty of Palestinians. But this cannot be achieved on the base of biased narratives or even lies, that only feed hatred.
You forgot to mention the expulsion of the mizrahi jews from arab countries.
Thanks al jazeera
1948 Arab nations declared war with objective of "liberating Palestine" by throwing all Jews into the sea? 🤣🤣🤣🤣I cannot stop laughing.
Then they took Palestinian territories without any intention to create Palestinian state but to split them between Jordan and Egypt. Nice Liberation. Well done.
Wow. This is actually very sad 😞. Why didn’t they create their state somewhere in Europe?
Because funny enough Europe isn’t mentioned in the bible as being a Jewish homeland. Not that I believe the bible but the Jewish people do or at least the Torah.

Almighty God gave that land to Israel. Palestinians occupied that land after the Jewish people. The Jewish people had it first. Read the Bible and check history. Palestinians claim to the land comes after Israel had it before them.

Why didn't you mention that Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan - ALL attacked Israel, thus beginning hostilities? It may put a different light on the Nakba which is after all a commemoration of a defeat. None of this would have happened if the Arab world has abided by the UN resolution. The whole Nakba syndrome is a whining of a people who, if they had won the war, would have put the Jews to the sword. My sympathy, I'm afraid goes elsewhere.
THERE ARE MANY NARRATIVES IN HISTORY
THE REASON THE ARABS ATTACKED ISRAEL IS BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY TASTED JEWISH RACISM, FOR INSTANCE JEWS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO EMPLOY ARABS, AND MANY JEWISH KIBBUTSIM WERE ERCTED ILLEGALLY ON PALESTINIAN LAND AND IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT A JEWISH STATE WOULD BE BUILT UPON JEWISH RACISM

@@anthonykenny1320 RACISM that never existed in the first place, another thing they invented to blame the Jewish people, Palestinians came to Israel during the roman empire era and started stealing what the Romans gave them and changed historic names for example the West Bank, it's really called Judea & Samaria, look in any bible you'll see it. in every bible, it says the land belongs to the Jewish people, Palestinians also forced h!tler to kill the jews weather than deport them to another country like he planned, but Palestinians wanted him to kill them.

the UN resolution ? lol you mean them giving israelis the land of palestine when people already live there, there were already hostilities before egypt jordan iraq and lebanon went to war with israel to DEFEND palestine from the ethnic cleansing the israelis were doing. you guys make me sick. you guys feel so high and mighty thinking the UN deserves to just offer up someone’s land and country. make that make sense. bigot. the holocaust was a heartbreaking catastrophe , why on earth would jewish people want to put anyone else through what they’ve been through. so hypocritical.
Zionists hostilities started post WW1 since Balfour, not the attack on "Israel". The attack on "Israel" was a response to the British mandate of Palestine ending and Zionist declaring it Israel.
Your argument is they
1. formed Israel
2. in a response to the Israel being attacked for it's formation.
You can't have 1 happen before 2,its completely illogical.
Yeah bt Israel kill them in desert al those Arab nations surrender. Israel do it alone while whole world was watching. If Palestine think they get that land Israel has taken back then it b the end of these world Wth Nakba or not it al the same! Israel is going no where it there to stay, is either u r with them or against them.
Sounds like the Mexican American war of 1846 in a nutshell. It was clean and cut, a stronger country, America, desired something from the weaker nation, in this case it was the purchase of Texas and California from Mexico , and like an imperial Caesar, when the weaker did not comply it was invaded and occupied and its citizens imposed under an “iron rule” type regime that can be considered apartheid today. Even after the facts and history has been discussed, you still see political opportunists like trump take advantage of the martial spirit of the white anglo America community and promotes anti Mexican rhetoric that promotes further outrages against the Mexican communities. Like Palestine, California and Texas are not little territories and are not poor in natural resources but are amongst the richest in the world, so yes it is only rational Mexico and Mexicans have such a strong and opposing opinion on the matter, Mexico wouldn’t be as poor or as associated with mismanagement as it is today had it not been invaded occupied and robbed of 55% of its country by its northern bully the United States.
When the Ottomans withdrew from Palestine, they instead slaughtered millions of armenians. Why do we never hear about that?
The Armenians like the Arabs revolted against the ruling ottomans as a result of British influence and manipulation, the ottomans tried to put down the rebellion on both the Arab and Armenian fronts, however they where unsuccessful.
@@vakasm8227 Genocide is genocide
Because it doesn't involve Jews.
Britain created mess India vs Pakistan and Israel vs Palestine, both mess same year 1948.
Let's not forget the Arabs declared war on Israel and lost.... Had they have won that war the consequences for any Jew would have been dire.....I don't necessarily support the state of Israel but the Arab nations lost terribly with an overwhelming advantage in numbers.
If someone comes to you and says, "I'm gonna take by force your home and property, let's negotiate". What would you do?
Hush, its natural fellow Arabs would aid Palestine, though some like Jordan had self motive.
Cherry picked content
Tell the full story
This is propaganda
The UN "suggested" dividing Palestine? That phrasing is deliberately misleading. UN Resolution 181, which partitioned Mandatory Palestine into Jewish and Arab territory, was voted on and adopted in late 1947. Leaders from most Arab-majority countries chose not to vote. Instead of voting, the Iraqi Prime minister vowed to "obliterate every place the Jews seek shelter in."
I think this was a response to David Ben Gurion's comment that europeans zionists are superior to Arabs and have the right to kill Arabs and take over Palestine, so they can build the second temple and messiah comes.
You really expect unbiased news from Al Jazeera?
The UN is controlled by chósenitè filth
Didn't know this. Thank you random stranger.
@@Bolognabeef @tackytaco8133 nice little circle-jerk zionism going on here. You lot seem to keep forgetting why the war actually started (ethnic cleansing of Palestinians). How much are you guys getting paid for this propaganda, disinformation campaign?
The Palestinians fled not because they were kicked out, but because the Arabs told them to leave while they 'dealt' with Israel. Doesn't give Israel a right to keep expanding her borders though
Absolutely NOT TRUE.
The only borders it expanded after becoming an official state were territories it took over in Wars started by the Arabic countries surrounding it.
yes it does because they were defending their country which was attacked by Arab Armies that openly called for Jewish deaths
@@yoavrubin9845 That’s illegal. Occupying land through battle is illegal, regardless of whether or not it is done through defensive or offensive battles.
@@abdullahpatel6086 Not so. It's not public policy now but at the time 'Right of Conquest'.was part of international law. It's a central tenet of Islam that land once conquored by Islam is forever Islamic. This is a bit like descendants of Napoleon's army of 1812, still laying claim to Russia.
The Nakba turns out not to mean the expulsion of Arabs from the new Nation of Israel, but rather, the catastrophe was the fact that five Arab armies failed to eliminate Israel and kill all the Jews.
In fact, 160,000 Arabs stayed in Israel and there are now, 2,000,000.
Liberdade para o povo Palestino!
Wow i can now see why the karma is unfolding and the British descendants are feeling the brunt of the former colonists' invasion of Palestine
Friendly reminder: "palestine" was never a state.
Whenever people ask me what started the fighting between the Israelis and Palestinians. I show them this video.
Excellent piece on the history of the Nakba! We need to continue to support the Palestinian people and their right to return!
this isn't what happened, of course your gonna hear this bullshit from an anti-jewish news agency
Egypt and the Arab nations attacked Israel and Palestine and caused the Nakba. The Right to Return is a horrific suicidal insane idea.
You left a lot out. The Arabs fought against the Turks for the British and were promised their own homeland. Also the British troops later went house to house and disarmed the Palestinians while the Jews were coming in armed to the teeth.
The Azzam Pasha quotation was part of a statement made by Abdul Rahman Hassan Azzam, the Secretary-General of the Arab League from 1945 to 1952, in which he declared in 1947 that, were a war to take place with the proposed establishment of a Jewish state, it would lead to "a war of extermination and momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacre and the Crusades."
The Arabs are still talking of massacres; somethings never change.
This "documentary" is talking about "Palestinians" (meaning Arabs) and "Zionists" (meaning Jews) in the time of Mandatory Palestine. That is incorrect and confusing. Both Jews and Arabs were Palestinians. It was their nationality. It's remarkable that in that time the Jews presented themselves as Palestinians, while the Arabs did not, because they thought of Palestine as a British invention.
I love how the media can be so bias. As the Jewish people were chased out of Europe, no mention of the persecution and suffering of Christians and Jews in Islamic countries.
There is also another version of the Nakba which means catastrophe, and the catastrophe was the failure of the Arab armies.
Peace in Palestine absolutely but for that to happen, Islam has to accept Jewish people and stop their hatred towards them .
nobody is buying zionist propaganda anymore 👍
Starting a war then losing it doesnt make you a victim
thank you Aljeeera, this puts it all into perspective...i feel for the Palestinians...its 2023 and ont the barbaric ages, nothing has changed..
Thank you for al jazeera keep it up the truth always 👍
a "small number of jews"? please be serious 😂😂
Here in October 2023 💔
False narrative
History is false narratives?
it happens because they stayed longer in Israel.. the land was named Israel because the jews lived there before them.. palestine only existed during the roman rule of the levant.. so it is right for the jews to take back what is theirs.. but i feel sorry for the so called palestinians.. times change and so the policies of the government.. they should go to arab countries instead if they want peace..
It happened because of bad judgement poor decision poor leadership,
One good thing came out of it though, the creation of the jewish state for the Jewish people
Long live Israel and the jewish people
Your people Jews are not fulfilled their missions to GOD which GOD's given to them & they signed the contract to GOD & GOD's chosen Jews "First to make this world into PEACEFUL, HUMANITY, & HARMONY" . Once, Jews fulfilled their mission in this world. GOD's will give you the Land from nowhere which no inhabitants living. But your ancestors rebelled from GOD's word until now that's why until now you don't have the Land. Is not easy to be a Jews because you have a BIG responsibility in this world. Only GOD have the right to this Land & not Jewish. And GOD gives the land to the inhabitants. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not Kill.
Luckily the most recent comments show some signs of intelligence and diminish the propaganda. It is so ridiculous...
“Palestinians were killed” and the Jews and British “died”. I support the plight of Palestinians but this shows that there’s bias everywhere
that is incorrect, but you wouldn't listen because your brainwashed and it clearly shows
Don’t mess with Gods people
God bless Israel
"Objective of liberating Palestine"? ... That's one way of phrasing it
Yeah, liberating it from foreign immigrant religious fanatics called zionists. Who hadn't lived in the land for 2000 years and suddenly want to kill arabs and take over their lands.
Last I checked it was the Palestinians with the refugee status not the Israelis. Palestinians who were there prior to the current generation of Jews.
Mostly all conflicts are made in UK .
Incredible UK !!!
This is nearly 2023 and nekba continues...
There were no people called palestinians i 1917 and foreward, only a area called palestine. The word palestinians is not mentioned in any of the holy books - quran, bible or torrah - so this Al Jazeera post is deliberatly trying to twist the historical facts. And by the way - why not mention all the cities and villages that jews expelled or destroyed? Maybe yhey can't?
That is very unfair
brian awuor unfair for whom?!
ofir gabbay ,ofcourse unfair to palestinians.How can you have your land taken away from you like that??
yes it was unfair and totally biased..
if only the truth was as simple as this very problematic video. this is missing a lot of context and information, some numbers, some wars, some arab riots, some explanations about "historic palestine", is it british mendate palestine, is it ottoman empire palestine? is it roman empire palestine? many different things, none of them mean what people mean today when they say palestine. i dont even know where to start with this video.
I find it difficult to believe that jews migrated and simply lashed out violently at local palestinian communities.
Makes more sense that locals were xenophobic towards immigrant jews and lashed out at them first. More in line with human nature.
They didn’t want the Jews there !!! They had every right not to want them controlling power hungry people there
When your land is seized, dispossessed, occupied and you are expelled. The only natural thing to do is to resist and defend yourself. Only people not in the right mind says the contrary
Your land?😂
Free Palestine.
Actually most of them just ran away because of the fear of war (when 5 arab countries fought Israel).
All this ethnic-cleansing thing is kind of bs.
SOME RAN AWAY BECAUSE THE ZIONISTS HAD BEEN CONDUCTING BRUTAL EXPULSIONS AND ACTS OF TERRORISM AS PER THE DEIR YASSIN MASSACRE FOR YEARS
It wasn't only the fear of war, the Arabic countries told them to leave and that they could come back after Israel was destroyed.
@@yoavrubin9845

How did British even think the division was logical! splitting the same population in to two geographically diff sides. And especially based on religion!! They did the same with india, pakistan and bangladesh.Acted as if they gave us freedom to only push us into a never ending war. people suffer till date. There is no way either sides are going to give up .
And demanding Palestinians move aside and get displaced , and lose their homes . To "split" land aka ethnic cleansing
In his memoirs, Haled al Azm, the Syrian Prime Minister in 1948-49, also admitted the Arab role in persuading the refugees to leave:
“Since 1948 we have been demanding the return of the refugees to their homes. But we ourselves are the ones who encouraged them to leave. Only a few months separated our call to them to leave and our appeal to the United Nations to resolve on their return.”
(The Memoirs of Haled al Azm, Beirut, 1973, Part 1, pp. 386-387.)
Blame the British , Blame the Jews , Blame USA
The Nakba happened because you went to war against Israel 3 times. You lost. Now pay the consequences.
Ridiculous. You do not have shame?
Palestinians never do war against Israel
You people who believe in the zionist 'law' rather than God The Almighty will one day taste the judgement day.God is Great !
There is no excuse for Genocide and ethnic cleansing
Just a heads up that his channel is also funded by Qatar, the same nation who has given Hamas a couple billion dollars! Not saying that they’re wrong, just might be biased, get your info from multiple sources!
I’m sorry but didnt Palestine and Egypt and Jordan all call war to on Israel and lose and that’s why they lost the land . What a bunch of cowards you forget to mention the main part of how that out come came to be.

no
In sha Allah the day is coming

Free Palestine ❤
This is terrible!!!
Out of almost 9 million people in Israel, over 2 million Palis live in West Bank (WB) excluding less than a million Israeli Settlers. Israel has grabbed WB for 52 years with no sign of letting them go. Irony is Israel uses up a good proportion of WB natural resources mostly for Settlers. The autonomy given to Palis in WB is fake as it is akin to municipal power since ultimate power is with Israel. Israel sends IDF to Palis areas, runs its currency, has sets up checkpoints on the roads between them, controls construction and development on the vast majority of the land AND arrests and prosecutes any Palis it chooses. The Settlers like citizens of inside Israel exercise their rights to vote with great efficiency whereas Palis neighbors, over 2 million in number have NO RIGHTS TO VOTE in Israeli elections as Palis are barred from every election since Israel took over the area in 1967. This is the maneuver, Netanyahu and terrorists allies are elected. Why the Western countries and US consider such an undemocratic government as its ally? Outright we must reject the Israeli government until Settlers are out and Palis either given their land like Gaza or given equal rights (right to vote and live indiscriminately) exactly like Israelis.
The latest assault on Palestinian worshippers at Al-Aqsa mosque is an blatant violation of human rights. Israeli forces continue to carry out a violent system of apartheid with impunity. We must speak up for Palestinians and their right to live in freedom, dignity & peace.
We civilized people of World call for ending Israel's 1967 occupation, ending its legalized racial discrimination, and upholding the U.N.-stipulated right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and lands.
And yet the British left them without giving the punishment they deserve for betraying the Brits

This comment section is going to be so much fun. Btw, why don’t the Saudis, Qataris, etc. allow Palestinians to immigrate to their countries? They’ve been bringing in people from Asia for labor. Why not tap a ready supply of fellow Arabs? That would solve the Palestinian question and fill Gulf labor shortages at the same time.
I really think no other Arab country will accept Palestinians because they want them to stay in Israel to continue the conflict.
because they are smart and don't want to deal with all the bullshit that Palestinians love making
Similar to why British and Americans, who love the Jews so much, that they wouldn't give them a piece of land from their own vast territories but will get them one from Arabs. Because they love the Jews so much, they will defend them to steal Arab lands
Why should they leave their land in the first place is the question. Why didn’t Britain create state of Israel in Europe?

You cant really 'claim' your house and say that the others need to shut up, right? Idk if im right but thats pretty much what i think that happened to the Palestinians
@wilbertvanvulpen9553 is more than kind of true. The land belongs to Israel. Almighty God has fought for Israel. He is fighting for Israel and will continue to fight for them. Read the Bible. These are the last days. Almighty God will keep His covenant that He made with Israel. Period.
