When you mentioned that Churchill authorized the bombing of a German city before the Nazis bombed british civilians, you did not mention that, before this bombing, Hitler directed the Luftwaffe to bomb a dutch city, after the Netherlands announced their surrender, because it was perceived to be too slow for the Nazis. Since this action was a violation of Germany's announcement, along with Britain and France, not to bomb civilians, Churchill changed Britain's war strategy. Why didn't you mention this important fact?
Well, the fact is that Germany bombed Rotterdam on May, threatening with leveling Utrecht next; that's when the Netherlands surrendered. The bombings of civilian targets both in Germany and England only started in August. Now, I found conflicting recounts about who bombed who first, so I wouldn't stick my neck out over that one.
He also totally ignored the facts that at the end of the battle of Britain the nazis switched from targeting RAF bases and focused on London and other civilian centres. It was that action that allowed the RAF enough respite to recover slightly and win the day.
Wikipedia: "Strategic bombing during World War II began on 1 September 1939 when Germany invaded Poland and the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) began bombing Polish cities and the civilian population in an aerial bombardment campaign."
Our uncle served in Palestine after WW2. He said they were not terrified of the arabs but of the terrorists on the other side. The murder of British squaddies and then the booby trapping of their bodies to inflict maximum mayhem and murder had something to do with this but also generally having potshots taken at them constantly. They came out of WW2 having fought Nazism and were exhausted. Why on earth are those squaddies and the ones killed at the King David hotel not commemorated each year on Remembrance Sunday? Britain is losing its sense of self these days.
@@khaledkhatib5116 "I am a Palestinian". In what sense exactly? "The Zionist terror started way before 1948" I know. The terror of buying swamp lands Arabs didn't want at inflated prices, only to then be invaded, raped and murdered by Arab marauders. But let's not call them Arabs. Let's call them "Palestinians". Why not take credit for those murders, as Hamas gleefully did so recently?
Considering Britain's betrayal of the Jews in British created Palestine, who had just seen millions of their own people exterminated in Europe, I'd be a little afraid of the Jews too. There is just so much Jew hate the Jews are going to put up with from antisemitic ingrates. As for the title of this little video screed, no one really used the expression, "the Palestinians and the Jews" during the Mandate, because "Palestinian" was a "national" category invented by Britain, and not really accepted by the Arabs of that time, but embraced by the Jews of the mandate. And of course before the British creation of Palestine, no people ever called itself the "Palestinians". BTW, with all due respect to your dead uncle, the Arabs had committed plenty of violence against the Jews, not just during the mandate but long before, even there in the land of the Jews, i.e., the Land of Israel, as its true indigenous people called it long before the European empire known as Rome imposed the name of another people of European derivation, the Philistines, on the land of the Jews. And as for the use of "Palestinians" to describe the Arabs of Palestine in this video? That's an alleged people was actually invented in the 1960s by the Soviets and the Egyptian, Yasser Arafat.
Arab Christians, Muslims and Jews lived in peace until the end of ww1 as I remember reading various examples of their collaborations for freedom before and during Ww1

Even in Palestine there are many strories how the jewish lived side by side with the Muslims and christians like brothers before the Slavians ( Russia, Ukrania and other east and west european jewish) come to Palestine and steal the land and ID as Semitic. take a look in the UA-cam what the real jewish says ( jewish anti zionism, Naturikarta, JVP. etc.
One interesting fact for you Paul: Marmaduke Pickthall, the famous British writer, translator and Muslim convert who was born in 1875 was a "classmate and friend" of Winston Churchill at Harrow School, the prestigious boarding school in England. They both shared a similar "social" status as members of the "upper class", however, they had very different views on politics, religion and culture. Pickthall, being a devout Muslim, was a sympathizer of the Ottoman Empire and also the Indian independence movement (Did Tariq Ali mention this?), while Churchill was a staunch imperialist and colonialist.
@@aftabnaveed lol your name is aftab.. he even gave remarks against Islam and you are supporting him? He was a monster who was fighting against another monster... The another Austrian monster was lesser evil than Churchill because Austrian painter knew about je ews traitors who backed western allies at that time... 3-4 million Bengalis died out of starvation because he diverted essential supplies from the civilians in Bengal to sturdies Europeans... When People writing to him that people are dying he replied why hasn't Gandhi died yet? He compared Indians with animals and he also said that there was nothing wrong in colonization of America Australia he said that a greater race took over another... Is this your favourite?
Mr. Tarique Ali is using 21st century standards to judge a 19th century man. Yes, Churchill was an imperialist. In Churchills’ time, most European leaders were imperialists.
He's also pointing out things that are true that most people don't know. Also, many people in Churchill's own time disliked his attitudes and actions. What about the objections to the East India Company and ti slavery in the 18th and 19th centuries? What standards were they using?
Not really, when history is controlled by the ruling class, not much history gets out. Consequentially, when that true history becomes known, it's not judging by a standard that did not exist before . It's simply allowing the truth to be known, and speak for itself. You can't judge what was unreported or unknown. That's sort of like judging Leopold who slaughter millions by 21st century standards. It's not, the same moral standard existed when he did it. Those of the latter centuries just didn't know it. When they found out, they simply let it be known. That's what happened in the USAMERICA when folks started using the net to research some of those confederate statues. They found out the inscriptions beneath the statues were entire false. BTW, I'm not in favor of removing these monuments, as long as you prints some of the real truths beneath them.
Brilliant i have read the book its fascinating insight of imperialism . He was a ardent racist and imperialist.He hated the working classes and was ready to get the military to kill when they striked in London on the railways! To think of him as anything other than a a racist imperial is astonishing!He was also of the most unpopular pm in England but later became a hero just at the end of war! Everybody should know about how callous he was! Bury my heart at wounded heart is also good to read it has many parallel with what is happening in 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Apologetics & revisionism (and in essence, a kind of neo-imperialism) for those convinced the Muslim-Arab mind will never open, will never start thinking hard about why the Muslim-Arab world is so messed up.
Tariq Ali Ramadan was not only an ANTISEMITE, very clever with his discourse. Please read "Brother Tariq" by Caroline Fourest (not a Jew) He was the grandson of Hasan al-Banna, Founder of the Muslim Brtotherhood, and the apologist for Jihad.
Anyone criticizes Zionists fascism becomes anti-Semite, as per white askhanazi colonial settlers. When Zionists see truth hurts they fling the anti-Semitic coin. The most funny but inhumanly cruel people on earth are Zionists
Say what you like, from the comfort of your armchair. When you are surrounded by murderous neighbours, all the nuances of your history disappear rapidly up your rear end.
I wonder if the esteemed historian who wrote this book about Churchill will write the equivalent book about other leaders of the past. Maybe some historical figure from the Middle East? Not sure why that area came to mind. There must be historically important leaders from there, although none come to mind immediately. Doubtlessly none from there ever did anything ruthless or killed anyone. Very peaceful area after all.

Galatians 1 6 I am surprised at how soon you have turned to another good news, away from Messiah who has called you to grace.
Maybe because Churchill is put in a pedestal and Britons are still living in a delusion that they are somehow civilised when in fact then murdered, pillaged and looted more than most other nationalities.
I only just got to you mentioning how Churchil allowed the bombing of civilian areas in Germany. Haven't the Germans done the same? By the way, it was only considered a war crime since the Geneva convention in 1949. That's 4 years after WWII has finished. And what's Ali's opinion of Hamas and Hizballa shooting missiles into civilian Israeli areas on purpose? Is that ok?
Imagine raving alongside the biggest concentration camp on Earth, and then imagine still claiming victimhood after you had massacred almost 40 times, and wounded almost double that, more of the people you have been holding in apartheid prison for decades prior? Many Jews are also standing up to what Israel is doing, perfectly aware of the fact that Holocaust (committed by Europeans, by the way) is being used to justify the ongoing Gaza Genocide.
Regarding Churchill’s thoughts on former colonies needing guidance, I think it’s worth noting all former colonies, in Mideast and Africa, upon independence and many under Islamist rule have fallen to chaos and ruin
British/US colonialism's legacy to the "3rd" world, the term itself being obviously racist btw... with Palestine being the masterpiece, a humanitarian crisis conceptualised and materialised largely by the British, gj. You could say everything you touch turns to shit, like Mida's touch in reverse!
Racism is not a lifestyle choice, or, is it?..I think I spot it, well enough in others, but bad neighbours are a fact of life...(My neighbours don't think a great deal of me, I'm sure?), but I think I'm a great bloke, (within reason), but, don't we all?..
This analysis of the treatment of the Jews in the Muslim world would have benefited greatly from even a superficial research effort which would demonstrate that antisemitism is by no means a uniquely Christian phenomenon. In different time periods the treatment of Jews has varied significantly the world over. Accordingly, there are numerous cases of antisemitism under Muslim rule, such as the 1066 Grenada massacre and in the 1656 Jewish expulsion from Isfahan (along with many other waves of expulsions and forced conversions). All of this is not to mention that - even though the majority of Jew hatred once came from a Christian populous - the countries that hold the most antisemitic views in the world today are more often than not Muslim majority countries. We could determine this by using a number of different metrics but as we've mentioned expulsions already let's start there. The most recent expulsions of Jewish populations have been from countries such as Yemen, Morocco, Egypt, Iraq, Algeria, Libya, and Lebanon. In total nearly a million Jews were expelled from or fled from Islamic countries in the 1940s and the 1950s. In many cases these communities had established traditions in these countries, going back hundreds or even thousands of years (there is archaeological evidence of Jews living in Baghdad as far back as the early sixth century BCE). This may help explain why the current Jewish population in Israel is majority Mizrachi or Sephardi ('Non-white' Jews who lived in the Middle East and North Africa). Although of course there are also sizable 'white' population in Israel, but many of them are the descendants of holocaust survivors so the theory that they are 'privileged' could also do with a swift rejection of that particular null hypothesis. As to your take on Churchill, it is too great of an undertaking to contextualize each of the misleading statements you put forth so I will just say a couple things. First, the trouble at understanding why Churchill referred to the 'Jewish race' and not to the 'English race' as the 'best race' may be understood as an homage to the indebtedness he felt the British owed to the moral and technical contributions that Jews and Judaism had made and that we only feel uneasy with his language because he was using terms that did not yet have the negative connotation they hold for us modern viewers today. If we judge people of the past by modern standards we generally find them lacking because we are not in the same context they were in, we rarely have taken the time to learn about that context, and we (hopefully) have developed morally in the meantime, at least in certain respects. Second, I think that a lot of the examples of 'racism' that were brought up could be far better understood through the lens of paternalism rather than race hatred. He certainly believed that there were different levels of technological and civilization development, but I would suggest that scientific and developmental indices agree.
Dear friend: you seem to have a deep understanding of Jew history. Maybe you can answer this for me: Why? Why is it that Jews are so poorly treated or even driven out from everywhere? This is a honest question, I'm not anti-semite or anything of the sort. It's true that we don't have many Jews here in Spain... (we drove them out 4 hundred years ago).
I am European(British), and spent much of my adult life married to an American Jewish woman. I asked her and a number of her family members the same question, as to why are Jewish people the most picked on people in History. Also why is it that even the most mild question about the behavior of the Israeli settlers in the west bank, brings about accusations of me being anti sematic. As an outsider that cares about the future of the Jewish people, I think Jewish people need to stop calling your self the chosen ones and realize you are not special and just like the rest of us. As unless you do you will spend your future at war with someone somewhere in the world.@@leslie-annmills-gomez8763
Regardless of any race "contribution" to the society, NO ONE has the right to call a race "superior" to other! That should be the fundamental morality of any HUMAN!!! Stop trying to distract from this principle!

It's astonishing how the British press and Media refuse to discuss the Balfour declaration that has put the Palastenians and the Jewish people on a 75 year collision course. Not a single Journalist. TV channel or newspapaer wants to discuss it.
It's actually often brought up but usually just in passing because they realize that most people won't have the patience or interest in learning about the entire history in all of its details, and prefer to stick to their preferred narratives.
Thanks to Churchill we won the war against the nazis. Germans could have surrender early, but they didn't, and the bombing seems to have been necessary. Similarly, after Hamas horrific attack on jews, it was predictable that Israeli will attempt to demolish the military headquarters of Hamas, and warn them in advance so that the civilians could flee, but Hamas made this impossible, and is entirely responsible of the death of the Palestinians, which they simply called "martyr", like in their chart they consider women as martyrs factory. We, europeans and Americans, have to stand up for all democracies when attacked by autocracies, even more so when they have inherited nazism. The chart of Hamas is even worse than "Mein Kampf", if that is possible, as they want to destroy all Christians, and to obliterate the women's right. This video contains many truth, but seems to abstract them from the context, and lack much comparisons with the enemy of the time, and today's.
bombing civilians was still a war crime and Germany was held responsibe at Nuremberg 1946 but the Allies were not held responsible because they won WWII.
@@Utubexpert-kx7ew The Allies were not held mainly because in that particular case, it was the only way to win the war. They would have surrendered, there would have been no need to bombing the German cities. The goal was to win the war, not some retaliation of hate toward German civilians, which have been helped a lot after the war.
Following the game plan laid out at the British 1st Imperial Press Conference of 1909, and representing Rothschild interests, J.P Morgan proxies purchased the top 25 most influential publications in the United States in 1915. They then used their editorial control to drive U.S. public opinion into the First World War on the side of the Allied Powers. As a reward, the British cabinet approved the Balfour Declaration promising Baron Rothschild it would endeavor to create a homeland for Jews in Palestine. Now, jump forward to the 1950’s, when the CIA used Operation Mockingbird to penetrate U.S. media, as well as various USG, state, and even certain metropolitan agencies. Today, nearly all U.S. legacy media is controlled by just five conglomerates, all of which are ultimately controlled by the Deep State, which came to power behind the scenes via JFK's assassination in 1963. That is why the JFK assassination is regarded as the Third Rail in American Journalism. The Democratic Party has become its political wing, and the MSM is now little more than its propaganda arm.
How much self-hatred could a privileged Westerner have. It’s always amazing to me. Britain (under Churchill) stood alone against Hitler and kept Western Europe free.
Has anyone heard of the kafala system? The system in saudi arabia, kuwait, jordan, regions in the middle east...run by muslims who are recruiting poor women from africa and asia. As house workers. Its modern day slavery. Those woman and sometimes children have no rights. The people who bought them take thier passports. They are not allowed phones or to leave the house unless someones with them. These woman gets abused, bought and sold like animals. And kuwait has the best laws towards it in the region. Hopefully that changes some day.

There were even Roman arab emperor's such as Phillip the Arab, Caracallah,Elagabalus.

Also ugarit the old syrian dialect that's another form of old arabic. You westerners no nothing of our region. Yours jealous that our islamic civilisation created Algebra, the basis for darwins theory he git inspired by Aljahith's theory of discovery. Also the great andalusian civilisation we created. While your colonialism was racist and shit ours brought the nations we led a new creative progress civilisation. Most people who visit India go to see the islamic Taj Mahal and the mutual empires work. You guys ruled Africa and brought nothing, ruled India you bought nothing but push the caste system further.

@@enlightenlife2840 So you use the same excuse as the Western colonists, Muslim invasions and taking over other lands by bloodshed because they felt superior and improving on the inhabitants. "By the 4th and 5th centuries, under the Guptas, a renewed Hinduism based on devotion, rather than the management of ritual, began to assert itself.[110] This renewal was reflected in a flowering of sculpture and architecture, which found patrons among an urban elite.[109] Classical Sanskrit literature flowered as well, and Indian science, astronomy, medicine, and mathematics made significant advances.[109] "
Can we be specific ? Before 1948, it wasn't Palestinians and Jews or Palestinians and Israelis. It was Arabs and Jews. The British Mandate in Palestine had a dual population of Jews and Arabs, both were equally called Palestinians. It was only after 1948 when the Jews declared independence and the Arabs declared war that the ARabs now became the sole owners of the term.
Exactly....so you either have a Jewish state and an Arab State, or you just have a Palestine nation and they all live as one. But not choose one over the other. I'm afraid the problems we have today are born from British decisions ....and worse still backed by our western allies...mainly USA as they are the mightiest of all. I have no sway in either people's....but it does seem grossly unfair that one should be chosen to be more powerful than the other.
Jews in Israel *are* Arabs my friend. At least half the Jews in modern Israel came from the broader Arab world, and they're mostly Mizrahi, some Sephardic. Add to them the Israeli Arab muslims, and you have a country that is still predominantly Arab with a minority of blond looking Ashkenazi Jews from Europe, mostly Eastern Europe.
@@michaelschweitzer1743 I know they're not considered, hence the hatred. And yet Jews and Palaistinians genetically are the exact same people, you can trace them them both all the way back to the Bronze Age Canaanites. And historically they're as much a part of the place as anyone who lives there because a good part of them never left.
The capital city of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, the best and longest road, the main street named after Winston Churchill!🏆 That speaks louder than what you trying to portray about Churchill. I think he was someone who were blessed 🙌 come on he had bitten Nazi and Musoluni 😮🏆👏
I am a serious student of Churchill….not only was he a deep humanitarian but also a founder of the modern welfare state. When he became Prime Minister, in May 1940, he stood alone, not only against the Nazi threat, at a time when Europe was collapsing (the US did not come into the war until December 1941) but also within his own class who wanted to parley with Hitler. Our situation was nothing short of desperate. In case this is not enough to assuage his critics, they should have a look at the eulogies following his death in 1965. They could not be more laudatory and were highly moving. I’m going to quote an extract from Attlee’s tribute. He was Churchill’s deputy in the Coalition Government during the Second World War as well as his great political rival, Churchill losing to him in the 1945 General Election “.......I do not think everybody always recognised how tender- hearted he was. I can recall him with the tears rolling down his cheeks, talking of the horrible things perpetrated by the Nazis in Germany. I can recall, too, during the war his emotion on seeing a simple little English home wrecked by a bomb. Yes, my Lords, sympathy-and more than that: he went back, and immediately devised the War Damage Act. How characteristic! Sympathy did not stop with emotion; it turned into action......... Then I recall the long days through the war-the long days and long nights-in which his spirit never failed; and how often he lightened our labours by that vivid humour, those wonderful remarks he would make which absolutely dissolved us all in laughter, however tired we were......and I recall, too, as the most reverend Primate has said already, that when once the enemy were beaten he had full sympathy for them. He showed that after the Boer War, and he showed it again after the First World War. He had sympathy, an incredibly wide sympathy, for ordinary people all over the world.....He saw himself there as an instrument. As an instrument for what? For freedom, for human life against tyranny. None of us can ever forget how, through all those long years, he now and again spoke exactly the phrase that crystallised the feelings of the nation. My Lords, we have lost the greatest Englishman of our time-I think the greatest citizen of the world of our time. In the course of a long, long life, he has played many parts. We may all be proud to have lived with him and, above all, to have worked with him.....” There are too many examples of the perpetuation of time-honoured myths (often the fault of “copy and paste” writers masquerading as historians), built on the very shaky foundations of ignorance and prejudice and calculated to denigrate the Churchill legacy. It is high time that these myths are laid to rest. Detractors - please note. If anybody should be “judge and jury” of Churchill, it should be Attlee, the much-respected, long-serving Labour leader and Prime Minister (1945/51), who got to know Churchill so well during the war years. Churchill was a colossus in standing up, almost alone, to tyranny, he should therefore be judged a giant no matter what the age. It should always be remembered, though, that his greatness was combined with him being a deep humanitarian - that is why he was (and still is) respected and loved by so many and why I am a crusader in upholding his legacy.
You are an ignoramus. Can I suggest you read Martin Gilbert, Roy Jenkins, Andrew Roberts and others. You are going against the grain of history. What is your reading list? I suspect that you are a woke leftie, who has no respect for history as you don’t want to be deluded by the truth.
I watched that interview with Piers Morgan and he acknowledged that Churchill was flawed, did some bad things. By no means did he portray Churchill as whiter than white as you are suggesting. He spoke to thex3nd world war leadership he provided and acknowledged that. And winning that War was indeed an heroic thing for the people of this country.
As a figurehead he excelled. Unfortunately he fancied himself as a military strategist. Tens of thousands of British servicemen were sacrificed on the altar of his hubris.

Your title is misleading and anachronic. At the time of Churchill, the word palestinian didn't have the same meaning as a Palestinian was an inhabitant of British Mandate Palestine that included Jews.
Russia was instrumental in targeting Dresden. The plan was to demoralize a defeated Germany to expand their sphere of influence over Eastern Europe and create the USSR.

@@johnxxx5085 Hmmmm .... guess you deny the historical fact that in 1891 in Palestine, Jews owned only 1% of the land and Arabs-Palestinians owned 99% of the land. Guess you deny that in about 1900 there was a tiny Jewish population in Palestine and that 96+% of the population was Arabic-Palestinian. Those are just historical facts. Moreover, the Jews and the Arabs lived in relative peaceful co-existence in 1891 and 1900 in Palestine. The basic root cause of the never ending war in Palestine is that the Palestinians have had their land taken from them and mostly reallocated to Jews. One doubts that you would accept such if it happened to you personally.

In the interests of fairness we should also recall Winston Churchill's secret fact finding mission to Cyprus in 1907, which upon his return to Britain wrote a secret memo to parliament ('Condition of Cyprus.' Memorandum by Winston Churchill) lambasting the colonial office for the maltreatment of the Cypriots and urging parliament to intervene. His motivation appears to be more about Britain's prestige than the plight of the Cypriots but it's well to know that it was so damning that the memo remained secret for 100 years. It can be found online at the National Archives (UK) if one wants to fact-check what I said.
rather ironic that open borders in Europe has led to unfetter Muslim settling of swathes of countries. Where again the wishes of the existing inhabitants has been ignored and dismissed.
ya great numpty, he just gave you the sorce of his comment which contains the proof. It is nonsecical to then ask him to prove it. To make any sence you need to read it and fact check it in order to counter his claim.

History as you know it is build on such that may not even be that good. @@sigmanfloyd7179
There is nothing wrong with being an Imperialist. The British Empire on the whole was a force for good. It dragged many countries forward several hundred years in progress. Ali is writing in the context of morality and life in the 21st century. It has no relevence with the first half of the 20th century.
Every country does and has to look after its own prosperity. Western colonialism had its negatives but also advancements to the occupied countries. It's the occupation of barbaric invasions of Arabian peninsula arabs to some previously great civilizations that brings those occupied countries back to the stone age as it happened to Egypt, Assyria, Persia, North Africa... Even the native languages were changed
First, do you know what imperialism is? Because either you don’t, or you’re inconsiderate of how others would feel. It’s not you or the government who gets to decide whether a nation likes its colonizers or not, it’s them. The incredibly vast majority of opinions in every nation Britain has occupied and stolen resources from didn’t want the Brits in their land, and your justification is advancement?? People from different continents and cultures have their own unique way of civilization, and they are happy with it. Why would you ‘drag them forward’ into cities and cars, thinking that your way of civilization should be forced on people without their consent? That would be the case if they actually pushed these nations forward, but they didn’t. Egypt was already advanced with cities and trains and everything, so why did the Brits colonize it? So it’s not advancement after all? It’s purely for advantage and interest at the expense of others, including the lives of women and children that they didn’t care about because they weren’t white enough. I can clearly see now why Britain has the most horrible, dishonorable, unjustified, and barbaric history of all time, because Churchill was in office after an election by voters carrying uncivilized, supremacist, and superficial opinions, like justifying imperialism, which means extending your borders through colonization and military force to feed your home country, a parasitic behavior. And what exactly didn't have relevance in 21 centuries, is the Palestinian-lsraeli conflict an example of that?

If you read your history. Churchill did not want to be too tough on the Germans after WW1. He already had a deep understanding of history, in fact more than most. He was a colossus of his age and is one today.

its wrong to assume that Churchills views were those of the English workingman, they werent, he was appointed during the war because extraordinary times require extraordinary measures, but when he was elected PM in 1950 and it came down to policies the British public couldn't get rid of him quick enough, i read his biography (or one of them) and he seemed an incredibly self aggrandizing character, I was expecting every chapter to end with, "naturally, I had the last laugh and they were sorry"

You are correct. My late father (1920 - 2016) disliked Churchill for his politics and his class. However, my father begrudgingly accepted that Churchill was the man for the moment in WW2. Its always worth noting that early to mid 20th century Britain was, across all society, racist but not in a violent way more of white Britains are superior sort of way. It was normal. Now things are different.
What a bizarre way you have of describing someone having basic morality and humanity and being free of racism and thus believing that it is wrong for white European Christians and white European Jewish Zionists to conspire to steal the land of Palestinians and drive them into prison camps and into exile so that white European Jewish Zionists can occupy that Palestinian land thus letting white European Christians and white European Jewish people no longer have to deal with each other. When you think that believing that non-white people deserve basic rights and to be safe from colonialist invasion apartheid and oppression is somehow "religious extremism" then you display your racism and religious extremism.

It isn't because of Jewish mistreatment of Arabs that relations between them have changed. And let us not forget that Jews have always had to live as Dimmi (second class citizens) in Muslim lands. It is because a Jewish nation was established within the Muslim Umma that the rage erupted.
No. It''s the fact that Palestinian Lands were confiscated from ordinary Palestinians for the benefit of European Jewish invaders who have treated them disgracefully throughout the past 75 years. Palestinians are actual 2nd class Citizens in israel itself while they are little more than Internees in the lands of the West Bank and Gaza.
Jewish were upper class in the middle east . Unlike the west , they were very well treated in the Muslim countries . It was Eastern European and Western Jews who created Israel , not the Arab Jews . It was not a question of a Jewish state , but question of displacement and ethnic cleansing . If it is racist to have a white and Christian state , why should be there an artificially created Jewish state . What West dont do in thier own countries , why do they support that in Israel .

@@sabrinashahab795 In Muslim tradition, non-believers are considered lower class - their status is Dimmi and they have to pay a special tax (jizzya). Israel is mostly composed of Jews from Arabic countries who were ethnically cleansed (kicked out) of Arab countries in 1947. It is undeniable that Muslim countries who ethnically cleansed their Jews are now ethnically cleansing their Christian populations even as Muslims migrate to traditionally non-Muslim countries in the west. Israel is mostly composed of Jews from Arabic countries and also has a 20% Arabic population as well as a minority of European Jews. Israel has a long history of being a Judean country - the word "Jew" comes from Judean. Many European Jews, who were persecuted for centuries for being Judeans went back to Judea after the holocaust. Dig anywhere in Israel and you will find archeological remnants of Jewish history. And why do Muslims feel that they have a right to create a large and vocal presence in the west but there can't be a single, tiny, country in the middle east that is not Muslim even when that country affords equal rights (not second class citizenship and special taxes) to its Arab citizens?
It was Hitler's actions that led to the Jewish state. Had Hitler not come to power Jews would have continued to live peacefully in Moslem lands and in Palestine alongside their Christian and Moslem brothers and sisters . Before Hitler and the holocaust Zionist aspirations were not taken seriously by most Jews They were happy with the status quo and in many cases it was considered a sacrilege.
Winston Churchill lived in an era where in my opinion at that juncture of history, he did what he did to the best of his ability for the benefit of his country. As any patriot would. To the white British he will always be a hero and one cannot blame them. Love him or hate him, he was a military and political genius who gave his all for his nation.
hey nijad. rather than blame the brits ask why didn't the arabs in the mandate start planning for statehood? after twenty years was any arab group ready to form a government? quote "In December 1920, Palestinian Arabs at a congress in Haifa established an executive committee (known as the Arab Executive) to act as the representative of the Arabs. It was never formally recognized by the British and was dissolved in 1934. However, the platform of the Haifa congress, which set out the position that Palestine was an autonomous Arab entity and totally rejected any rights of the Jews to Palestine, remained the basic policy of the Palestinian Arabs until 1948." seems like arabs wasted decades trying to keep jews out of the region rather than build a functioning government.

He was recruited to the leadership of the IMG and became a member of the International Executive Committee of the (reunified) Fourth International. He also befriended influential figures such as Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, John Lennon and Yoko Ono. This radical Left position clearly influences Ali's analysis of any Conservative figure.

Thanks for the selective history. I notice how quick jihadi apologists are to point out the case of Spain, as if that's supposed to be representative of the larger Arab-Muslim world. In all likelihood Spain was distinct in being the only part of Western Europe conquered into dar al Islam. The Ummayad Caliphate would have had a vested interest in presenting a more tolerant policy there that was different from other areas and probably uncharacteristic when it came to their treatment of the dhimmi minorities given the fact that all Spaniards were ahl al kitab rather than kafirs. It was in their interest to be less brutal.
So ur saying the muslims were less brutal because of the Jizya? 😂 did u also know that if the muslim cant protect them they got to give the Jizya back right?
The British Empire was using aerial warfare in Kurdistan and Waziristan before WW2. Channel 4 produced a documentary called 'Birds of Death' so it must be true.
The speaker completely ignore at least 2 facts 1) Most of the land, especially in the coast, was not arable, and full of swamps and malaria, and not inhabited or used , which the Jews that came since the end of the 19th century, worked relentlessly to cultivate, draining the swamps and clearing the sand dunes 2) in 1882, there were 200,000 people living in the whole of Palestine, not 700,000. In 1948, there were almost 1.3 million Arabs. This is not due to a crazy birth rate but to vast labor immigration from neighboring countries, because of the development of the land by the Jews and the British, creating a lot of job opportunities. No wonder this is not mentioned
number 1 may be true but it would be hard to verify, but just by reading "Demographic history of Palestine" on wikipedia, it's easy to verify that your 2nd statement is false, and immigration was a small part of population growth. The Jewish agency even stated that between 1914 and 1938, only 23% of overall population growth was due to immigration.
@@wildansyahidillah7978 hello Syahidillah. must muslims spout fake news constantly like the american democratic party? it is a bad habit i see in all comments sections. it is easy to verify the malaria issue but you just spout skepticism instead. wikipedia - Malaria in Mandatory Palestine Malaria was a severe epidemic in parts of Mandatory Palestine in the early 20th century, now located in Israel. The epidemic killed many people from the bible period until it was finally eradicated in the early 1960s. Malaria was originally a large obstacle to Zionist settlement, because it restricted the land that was usable for settlement, and affected the lifestyle of the Jewish settlers in Palestine. muslims should be happy the united nations partition gave them the high land and jews got the low land and not worry about the share not being exactly 50/50.
Churchill is supposed to have said or written : "Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith." Any comments?
Muslim world The practice of wearing special clothing or markings to distinguish Jews and other non-Muslims (dhimmis) in Muslim-dominated countries seems to have been introduced in the Umayyad Caliphate by Caliph Umar II in the early 8th century. The practice was revived and reinforced by the Abbasid caliph al-Mutawakkil (847-861), subsequently remaining in force for centuries.[2][3] A genizah document from 1121 gives the following description of decrees issued in Baghdad: Two yellow badges [are to be displayed], one on the headgear and one on the neck. Furthermore, each Jew must hang round his neck a piece of lead weighing [3 grammes] with the word dhimmi on it. He also has to wear a belt round his waist. The women have to wear one red and one black shoe and have a small bell on their necks or shoes.[4]

Churchill having died in 1965, he is unlikely to have spoken about Palestinians. It was only a bit later that Arafat and the OLP introduced for political convenience the notion of a Palestinian people, of a nation. Before that, everybody, themselves included, talked of Arabs. Palestine only meant the region that had been administered by Great Britain, inhabited by all sorts of people.
U r absolutely right. So called “Palestinian people” was invented by theKGB in late 60s when the Soviets learned that the State of Israel took western side in the Cold War.
Your logic is crazy. If there is a region called Palestine then the obvious term for the people would be Palestines or Palestinians. Churchill wasn't 5 years old at the time...he kind of had a handle on things. And did you know that a huge part of Europe was Germanic and Germany was known as a German region ...but its only been a sovereign state since the late 1800s ?? Or did I miss your point ? And what is OLP ?
@@andycallaghan5975 beside Arabs there are Jews ,Cherkesses , Druses, Shomrones - all leaving in region that you call Palestine. Nobody calls himself Palestinian only Muslim Arabs do. Nobody tries to kill or expel or rob or rape the others, only Muslim Arabs do. And no country , even Arab countries, wants to help them, even when Israelis make them pay for the evil they are and the horror they did.
@@andycallaghan5975 , the name of Palestine goes back to biblical times. The Arabs only colonized the region in the 7th c. CE. Since then, the name of Palestine applied to regional borders that changed over time, and never to any specific people inhabiting the region. As late as the 1920's, some Arabs wanted to call the region Southern Syria. Since Arab conquest and colonization there never was a single ethnic group living there, nor was any particular group known as Palestinians. Churchill could never have spoken of a Palestinian people. He would speak, as everybody else, of Palestinian Arabs, Jews, Christians, Druzes, Samaritans, Turks, Greeks, etc. OLP = PLO, being used to both acronyms in various languages. Regarding Germany and Germans, if we go back to Roman Germania, it referred to lands inhabited by many different Germanic tribes. They were not Germans but spoke various Germanic languages, same way we are discussing now in a Germanic language (English) without being Germans. The German people(s) and nation(s) slowly started to develop and set during the Middle Ages, before any clear national identity. Ask Austrians whether they are Germans and you would obtain different answers even as the Anschluss was taking place. Ask the German speaking Swiss or Alsacians: they will obviously deny being Germans. You simply cannot call Germans all the German speaking peoples, much less everybody living within your imaginary German region. Germanic tribes swept all of western Europe and even northern Africa. According to your logic, we should extend the Roman notion of Germania to all of Europe and northern Africa, regard all as "Germans", and ask anybody unhappy about that to please stop being a racist colonizer and please go home, somewhere else.

A couple of facts of relevance: 1. Winston Churchill was the first vice-president of the racist and elitist Eugenics Education Society, founded by Charles Darwin's cousin Francis Galton and son Major Leonard Darwin. 2. The eugenics doctrines had profound influence on the treatment of dark-skinned people and indigenous people in all the British colonies. 3. Churchill, like the British Monarchs George v and VI, was a Freemason.
I thought the Luftwaffe bombed London first, albeit as a result of German planes getting lost and deciding to drop their bombs. This was even portrayed in the movie, “Battle of Britain”.
They did and ask the Poles about Warsaw!!! Complete Anti Churchill and Anti British Lies. Germany bombed everyone's cities and invented terror bombing of civilians.
2:59 Britain did not do this first. The Germans bombed Warsaw and Rotterdam as they invaded Poland and the Netherlands. It was only a matter of time before they bombed Britain. The Germans started the war and started the aerial bombing. To lay that at the door of Winston Churchill is absurd and dishonest.

My friend, concerning the part where you mentionned Lebanon, Lebanon has existed since since the dawn of time and its name is mentionned 17 times in the bible. Even under the ottoman empire where damascus directly managed by the turcs, Mount Lebanon had its autonomy inside the empire and maronite patriarch at its head. Lebanon has never been part of Syria and there are 2 chains of mountains as high as 3000 meters that sperates them if you have ever been in the region and the relation of Mount Lebanon with France are since the 12th century.
actually the whole middle east was whole until Britain and france decided to break it apart and each took a piece of the cake. Britan had this rule always, divide and conquer and they followed it to the t.

I haven't read the book , but thank you for the presentation . I'm sure that you do , in some detail examine the root connection between the Jewish people and the lands of Judea and Galilee at least , and explain that the nation of Israel is possibly the oldest in the world , it's people's suffering almost complete obliteration after the Ben Kokhba revolt begun against Roman occupation in 132 Ad . The resultant depopulation didn't lead to a cultural or religious loss of identification with the ' chosen land ' . This perhaps is a point often missed by commentators regarding the current suffering of so many people , Palestinian, and Israeli today and recently .
If one goes by 2000 year old records - some touching on Fiction, other religious sects have them too, then it 'pulls the rug from under the feet of the colonials in North America, South America, Australia, NZ. Those lands belong to the NATIVES of those lands and NOT to Colonial Whites ! ?????????
Your understanding of this history is super messed up. Israel is only 75 years old. It is one of the newest nations. It was settled by Europeans. The people who had been living on that land were displaced. Prior to and during the European settlers turning up, starting from the about the turn of the 20th century, the land was controlled by Ottoman and then Britain. There isn't much else to it. Whether the European settlers used to live there or not (thousands of years ago) would be impossible to substantiate. The people who had already been living there may have been, for a very long time, but that's also effectively impossible to prove. Records don't go back that far, and there is no way to know if they were fabricated.

Tariq Ali forgets to mention that the Jews who came from Europe purchased the lands from the absentee landlords in Syria while the local Arabs were only tenants on the land.
Unless I misheard, England and America didn't bomb Dresden until very late 1944 / early 1945. This was several years after Hitler ferociously bombed England in the so-called Battle of Britain. In other words, Hitler and Germany started everything, including WWII.
Churchill sure didn’t loved it when our North American Indigenous, Métis and Inuit soldiers came to fight his World Wars. They joined up before being asked. And went home with no recognition from their government til around 1990.

When you mentioned that Churchill authorized the bombing of a German city before the Nazis bombed british civilians, you did not mention that, before this bombing, Hitler directed the Luftwaffe to bomb a dutch city, after the Netherlands announced their surrender, because it was perceived to be too slow for the Nazis. Since this action was a violation of Germany's announcement, along with Britain and France, not to bomb civilians, Churchill changed Britain's war strategy. Why didn't you mention this important fact?
Well, the fact is that Germany bombed Rotterdam on May, threatening with leveling Utrecht next; that's when the Netherlands surrendered. The bombings of civilian targets both in Germany and England only started in August. Now, I found conflicting recounts about who bombed who first, so I wouldn't stick my neck out over that one.
He also totally ignored the facts that at the end of the battle of Britain the nazis switched from targeting RAF bases and focused on London and other civilian centres. It was that action that allowed the RAF enough respite to recover slightly and win the day.

Our uncle served in Palestine after WW2. He said they were not terrified of the arabs but of the terrorists on the other side. The murder of British squaddies and then the booby trapping of their bodies to inflict maximum mayhem and murder had something to do with this but also generally having potshots taken at them constantly. They came out of WW2 having fought Nazism and were exhausted. Why on earth are those squaddies and the ones killed at the King David hotel not commemorated each year on Remembrance Sunday?

Considering Britain's betrayal of the Jews in British created Palestine, who had just seen millions of their own people exterminated in Europe, I'd be a little afraid of the Jews too. There is just so much Jew hate the Jews are going to put up with from antisemitic ingrates. As for the title of this little video screed, no one really used the expression, "the Palestinians and the Jews" during the Mandate, because "Palestinian" was a "national" category invented by Britain, and not really accepted by the Arabs of that time, but embraced by the Jews of the mandate. And of course before the British creation of Palestine, no people ever called itself the "Palestinians". BTW, with all due respect to your dead uncle, the Arabs had committed plenty of violence against the Jews, not just during the mandate but long before, even there in the land of the Jews, i.e., the Land of Israel, as its true indigenous people called it long before the European empire known as Rome imposed the name of another people of European derivation, the Philistines, on the land of the Jews. And as for the use of "Palestinians" to describe the Arabs of Palestine in this video? That's an alleged people was actually invented in the 1960s by the Soviets and the Egyptian, Yasser Arafat.

Mr. Tarique Ali is using 21st century standards to judge a 19th century man. Yes, Churchill was an imperialist. In Churchills’ time, most European leaders were imperialists.
He's also pointing out things that are true that most people don't know. Also, many people in Churchill's own time disliked his attitudes and actions. What about the objections to the East India Company and ti slavery in the 18th and 19th centuries? What standards were they using?
Not really, when history is controlled by the ruling class, not much history gets out.
Consequentially, when that true history becomes known, it's not judging by a standard that did not exist before .
It's simply allowing the truth to be known, and speak for itself.
You can't judge what was unreported or unknown.
That's sort of like judging Leopold who slaughter millions by 21st century standards.
It's not, the same moral standard existed when he did it. Those of the latter centuries just didn't know it. When they found out, they simply let it be known.
That's what happened in the USAMERICA when folks started using the net to research some of those confederate statues. They found out the inscriptions beneath the statues were entire false.
BTW, I'm not in favor of removing these monuments, as long as you prints some of the real truths beneath them.
Brilliant i have read the book its fascinating insight of imperialism . He was a ardent racist and imperialist.He hated the working classes and was ready to get the military to kill when they striked in London on the railways! To think of him as anything other than a a racist imperial is astonishing!He was also of the most unpopular pm in England but later became a hero just at the end of war! Everybody should know about how callous he was! Bury my heart at wounded heart is also good to read it has many parallel with what is happening in 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Tariq Ali Ramadan was not only an ANTISEMITE, very clever with his discourse. Please read "Brother Tariq" by Caroline Fourest (not a Jew) He was the grandson of Hasan al-Banna, Founder of the Muslim Brtotherhood, and the apologist for Jihad.
He made a correction on his mistake - the book was written by Tariq Ali NOT Tariq Ramadan.

Say what you like, from the comfort of your armchair. When you are surrounded by murderous neighbours, all the nuances of your history disappear rapidly up your rear end.
I wonder if the esteemed historian who wrote this book about Churchill will write the equivalent book about other leaders of the past. Maybe some historical figure from the Middle East? Not sure why that area came to mind. There must be historically important leaders from there, although none come to mind immediately. Doubtlessly none from there ever did anything ruthless or killed anyone. Very peaceful area after all.

I only just got to you mentioning how Churchil allowed the bombing of civilian areas in Germany. Haven't the Germans done the same? By the way, it was only considered a war crime since the Geneva convention in 1949. That's 4 years after WWII has finished. And what's Ali's opinion of Hamas and Hizballa shooting missiles into civilian Israeli areas on purpose? Is that ok?
Only when you have different standards towards Israel and the Jews of course.
Imagine raving alongside the biggest concentration camp on Earth, and then imagine still claiming victimhood after you had massacred almost 40 times, and wounded almost double that, more of the people you have been holding in apartheid prison for decades prior? Many Jews are also standing up to what Israel is doing, perfectly aware of the fact that Holocaust (committed by Europeans, by the way) is being used to justify the ongoing Gaza Genocide.

I’m not a big fan of church hill because of things done in India
Regarding Churchill’s thoughts on former colonies needing guidance, I think it’s worth noting all former colonies, in Mideast and Africa, upon independence and many under Islamist rule have fallen to chaos and ruin
British/US colonialism's legacy to the "3rd" world, the term itself being obviously racist btw... with Palestine being the masterpiece, a humanitarian crisis conceptualised and materialised largely by the British, gj. You could say everything you touch turns to shit, like Mida's touch in reverse!
Ireland and Malta are very much exceptions then......both nations now thriving after independence...I should know.....i have been to both countries
So I guess the superior attitudes of imperialists/colonizers is well founded & correct ? They were/are more superior ? 😑

This analysis of the treatment of the Jews in the Muslim world would have benefited greatly from even a superficial research effort which would demonstrate that antisemitism is by no means a uniquely Christian phenomenon. In different time periods the treatment of Jews has varied significantly the world over. Accordingly, there are numerous cases of antisemitism under Muslim rule, such as the 1066 Grenada massacre and in the 1656 Jewish expulsion from Isfahan (along with many other waves of expulsions and forced conversions). All of this is not to mention that - even though the majority of Jew hatred once came from a Christian populous - the countries that hold the most antisemitic views in the world today are more often than not Muslim majority countries. We could determine this by using a number of different metrics but as we've mentioned expulsions already let's start there. The most recent expulsions of Jewish populations have been from countries such as Yemen, Morocco, Egypt, Iraq, Algeria, Libya, and Lebanon. In total nearly a million Jews were expelled from or fled from Islamic countries in the 1940s and the 1950s. In many cases these communities had established traditions in these countries, going back hundreds or even thousands of years (there is archaeological evidence of Jews living in Baghdad as far back as the early sixth century BCE). This may help explain why the current Jewish population in Israel is majority Mizrachi or Sephardi ('Non-white' Jews who lived in the Middle East and North Africa). Although of course there are also sizable 'white' population in Israel, but many of them are the descendants of holocaust survivors so the theory that they are 'privileged' could also do with a swift rejection of that particular null hypothesis.
As to your take on Churchill, it is too great of an undertaking to contextualize each of the misleading statements you put forth so I will just say a couple things. First, the trouble at understanding why Churchill referred to the 'Jewish race' and not to the 'English race' as the 'best race' may be understood as an homage to the indebtedness he felt the British owed to the moral and technical contributions that Jews and Judaism had made and that we only feel uneasy with his language because he was using terms that did not yet have the negative connotation they hold for us modern viewers today. If we judge people of the past by modern standards we generally find them lacking because we are not in the same context they were in, we rarely have taken the time to learn about that context, and we (hopefully) have developed morally in the meantime, at least in certain respects. Second, I think that a lot of the examples of 'racism' that were brought up could be far better understood through the lens of paternalism rather than race hatred. He certainly believed that there were different levels of technological and civilization development, but I would suggest that scientific and developmental indices agree.
Dear friend: you seem to have a deep understanding of Jew history. Maybe you can answer this for me: Why? Why is it that Jews are so poorly treated or even driven out from everywhere? This is a honest question, I'm not anti-semite or anything of the sort. It's true that we don't have many Jews here in Spain... (we drove them out 4 hundred years ago).
Are you European
Also of Muslims are the worse then why would Israel want to be in the middle east? Make that make sense. They should be in Europe where they are loved
I am European(British), and spent much of my adult life married to an American Jewish woman. I asked her and a number of her family members the same question, as to why are Jewish people the most picked on people in History. Also why is it that even the most mild question about the behavior of the Israeli settlers in the west bank, brings about accusations of me being anti sematic. As an outsider that cares about the future of the Jewish people, I think Jewish people need to stop calling your self the chosen ones and realize you are not special and just like the rest of us. As unless you do you will spend your future at war with someone somewhere in the world.@@leslie-annmills-gomez8763

It's astonishing how the British press and Media refuse to discuss the Balfour declaration that has put the Palastenians and the Jewish people on a 75 year collision course. Not a single Journalist. TV channel or newspapaer wants to discuss it.
It's actually often brought up but usually just in passing because they realize that most people won't have the patience or interest in learning about the entire history in all of its details, and prefer to stick to their preferred narratives.
Being that "Palestinians" were only concocted in 1964, relegates your proposal to nothingness.

Thanks to Churchill we won the war against the nazis. Germans could have surrender early, but they didn't, and the bombing seems to have been necessary. Similarly, after Hamas horrific attack on jews, it was predictable that Israeli will attempt to demolish the military headquarters of Hamas, and warn them in advance so that the civilians could flee, but Hamas made this impossible, and is entirely responsible of the death of the Palestinians, which they simply called "martyr", like in their chart they consider women as martyrs factory. We, europeans and Americans, have to stand up for all democracies when attacked by autocracies, even more so when they have inherited nazism. The chart of Hamas is even worse than "Mein Kampf", if that is possible, as they want to destroy all Christians, and to obliterate the women's right. This video contains many truth, but seems to abstract them from the context, and lack much comparisons with the enemy of the time, and today's.

His comments wouldn't have raised an eyebrow during his time. Right or wrong, attitudes and standards were different in his era.

But his comments did draw objections in his own time. By no means did everyone agree.
Following the game plan laid out at the British 1st Imperial Press Conference of 1909, and representing Rothschild interests, J.P Morgan proxies purchased the top 25 most influential publications in the United States in 1915. They then used their editorial control to drive U.S. public opinion into the First World War on the side of the Allied Powers. As a reward, the British cabinet approved the Balfour Declaration promising Baron Rothschild it would endeavor to create a homeland for Jews in Palestine.
Now, jump forward to the 1950’s, when the CIA used Operation Mockingbird to penetrate U.S. media, as well as various USG, state, and even certain metropolitan agencies.
Today, nearly all U.S. legacy media is controlled by just five conglomerates, all of which are ultimately controlled by the Deep State, which came to power behind the scenes via JFK's assassination in 1963. That is why the JFK assassination is regarded as the Third Rail in American Journalism. The Democratic Party has become its political wing, and the MSM is now little more than its propaganda arm.

"By the 4th and 5th centuries, under the Guptas, a renewed Hinduism based on devotion, rather than the management of ritual, began to assert itself.[110] This renewal was reflected in a flowering of sculpture and architecture, which found patrons among an urban elite.[109] Classical Sanskrit literature flowered as well, and Indian science, astronomy, medicine, and mathematics made significant advances.[109] "
Can we be specific ? Before 1948, it wasn't Palestinians and Jews or Palestinians and Israelis. It was Arabs and Jews. The British Mandate in Palestine had a dual population of Jews and Arabs, both were equally called Palestinians. It was only after 1948 when the Jews declared independence and the Arabs declared war that the ARabs now became the sole owners of the term.
Exactly....so you either have a Jewish state and an Arab State, or you just have a Palestine nation and they all live as one.
But not choose one over the other.
I'm afraid the problems we have today are born from British decisions ....and worse still backed by our western allies...mainly USA as they are the mightiest of all.
I have no sway in either people's....but it does seem grossly unfair that one should be chosen to be more powerful than the other.
Jews in Israel *are* Arabs my friend. At least half the Jews in modern Israel came from the broader Arab world, and they're mostly Mizrahi, some Sephardic. Add to them the Israeli Arab muslims, and you have a country that is still predominantly Arab with a minority of blond looking Ashkenazi Jews from Europe, mostly Eastern Europe.
@@SP-nx8qx Um no. Ethnically, historically, culturally, Jews are distinct from Arabs and not considered Arabs by actual Arabs.
@@michaelschweitzer1743 I know they're not considered, hence the hatred.

The capital city of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, the best and longest road, the main street named after Winston Churchill!🏆
That speaks louder than what you trying to portray about Churchill.
I think he was someone who were blessed 🙌 come on he had bitten Nazi and Musoluni 😮🏆👏
I am a serious student of Churchill….not only was he a deep humanitarian but also a founder of the modern welfare state. When he became Prime Minister, in May 1940, he stood alone, not only against the Nazi threat, at a time when Europe was collapsing (the US did not come into the war until December 1941) but also within his own class who wanted to parley with Hitler. Our situation was nothing short of desperate.
In case this is not enough to assuage his critics, they should have a look at the eulogies following his death in 1965. They could not be more laudatory and were highly moving. I’m going to quote an extract from Attlee’s tribute. He was Churchill’s deputy in the Coalition Government during the Second World War as well as his great political rival, Churchill losing to him in the 1945 General Election “.......I do not think everybody always recognised how tender- hearted he was. I can recall him with the tears rolling down his cheeks, talking of the horrible things perpetrated by the Nazis in Germany. I can recall, too, during the war his emotion on seeing a simple little English home wrecked by a bomb. Yes, my Lords, sympathy-and more than that: he went back, and immediately devised the War Damage Act. How characteristic! Sympathy did not stop with emotion; it turned into action......... Then I recall the long days through the war-the long days and long nights-in which his spirit never failed; and how often he lightened our labours by that vivid humour, those wonderful remarks he would make which absolutely dissolved us all in laughter, however tired we were......and I recall, too, as the most reverend Primate has said already, that when once the enemy were beaten he had full sympathy for them. He showed that after the Boer War, and he showed it again after the First World War. He had sympathy, an incredibly wide sympathy, for ordinary people all over the world.....He saw himself there as an instrument. As an instrument for what? For freedom, for human life against tyranny. None of us can ever forget how, through all those long years, he now and again spoke exactly the phrase that crystallised the feelings of the nation. My Lords, we have lost the greatest Englishman of our time-I think the greatest citizen of the world of our time. In the course of a long, long life, he has played many parts. We may all be proud to have lived with him and, above all, to have worked with him.....”
There are too many examples of the perpetuation of time-honoured myths (often the fault of “copy and paste” writers masquerading as historians), built on the very shaky foundations of ignorance and prejudice and calculated to denigrate the Churchill legacy. It is high time that these myths are laid to rest. Detractors - please note.
If anybody should be “judge and jury” of Churchill, it should be Attlee, the much-respected, long-serving Labour leader and Prime Minister (1945/51), who got to know Churchill so well during the war years.
Churchill was a colossus in standing up, almost alone, to tyranny, he should therefore be judged a giant no matter what the age. It should always be remembered, though, that his greatness was combined with him being a deep humanitarian - that is why he was (and still is) respected and loved by so many and why I am a crusader in upholding his legacy.
Lloyd George was the PM who brought in the pension will before Churchill's time and i think that's clearly the beginning of welfare.

I watched that interview with Piers Morgan and he acknowledged that Churchill was flawed, did some bad things. By no means did he portray Churchill as whiter than white as you are suggesting. He spoke to thex3nd world war leadership he provided and acknowledged that. And winning that War was indeed an heroic thing for the people of this country.

Your title is misleading and anachronic. At the time of Churchill, the word palestinian didn't have the same meaning as a Palestinian was an inhabitant of British Mandate Palestine that included Jews.
Battle of Britain=1940

Moreover, the Jews and the Arabs lived in relative peaceful co-existence in 1891 and 1900 in Palestine.
The basic root cause of the never ending war in Palestine is that the Palestinians have had their land taken from them and mostly reallocated to Jews. One doubts that you would accept such if it happened to you personally.

In the interests of fairness we should also recall Winston Churchill's secret fact finding mission to Cyprus in 1907, which upon his return to Britain wrote a secret memo to parliament ('Condition of Cyprus.' Memorandum by Winston Churchill) lambasting the colonial office for the maltreatment of the Cypriots and urging parliament to intervene. His motivation appears to be more about Britain's prestige than the plight of the Cypriots but it's well to know that it was so damning that the memo remained secret for 100 years.

Every country does and has to look after its own prosperity. Western colonialism had its negatives but also advancements to the occupied countries. It's the occupation of barbaric invasions of Arabian peninsula arabs to some previously great civilizations that brings those occupied countries back to the stone age as it happened to Egypt, Assyria, Persia, North Africa... Even the native languages were changed
Not all is RELATIVE fools
First, do you know what imperialism is? Because either you don’t, or you’re inconsiderate of how others would feel. It’s not you or the government who gets to decide whether a nation likes its colonizers or not, it’s them. The incredibly vast majority of opinions in every nation Britain has occupied and stolen resources from didn’t want the Brits in their land, and your justification is advancement?? People from different continents and cultures have their own unique way of civilization, and they are happy with it. Why would you ‘drag them forward’ into cities and cars, thinking that your way of civilization should be forced on people without their consent? That would be the case if they actually pushed these nations forward, but they didn’t. Egypt was already advanced with cities and trains and everything, so why did the Brits colonize it? So it’s not advancement after all? It’s purely for advantage and interest at the expense of others, including the lives of women and children that they didn’t care about because they weren’t white enough. I can clearly see now why Britain has the most horrible, dishonorable, unjustified, and barbaric history of all time, because Churchill was in office after an election by voters carrying uncivilized, supremacist, and superficial opinions, like justifying imperialism, which means extending your borders through colonization and military force to feed your home country, a parasitic behavior. And what exactly didn't have relevance in 21 centuries, is the Palestinian-lsraeli conflict an example of that? A huge ongoing conflict because imperialist Britain decided who to live in the middle east and how others should deal with it? And as the whole conflict is still on going pretty much, you still believe that Britain isn't complicit? Completely sick
If you read your history. Churchill did not want to be too tough on the Germans after WW1. He already had a deep understanding of history, in fact more than most. He was a colossus of his age and is one today.

its wrong to assume that Churchills views were those of the English workingman, they werent, he was appointed during the war because extraordinary times require extraordinary measures, but when he was elected PM in 1950 and it came down to policies the British public couldn't get rid of him quick enough, i read his biography (or one of them) and he seemed an incredibly self aggrandizing character, I was expecting every chapter to end with, "naturally, I had the last laugh and they were sorry"

You are correct. My late father (1920 - 2016) disliked Churchill for his politics and his class. However, my father begrudgingly accepted that Churchill was the man for the moment in WW2. Its always worth noting that early to mid 20th century Britain was, across all society, racist but not in a violent way more of white Britains are superior sort of way. It was normal. Now things are different.
Sounds familiar to the Australian story. Where the English mentioned that there is nobody living on Australian soil
Churchill is tied with Newton and Darwin as the greatest Britons.

What a bizarre way you have of describing someone having basic morality and humanity and being free of racism and thus believing that it is wrong for white European Christians
and white European Jewish Zionists to conspire to steal the land of Palestinians
and drive them into prison camps and into exile so that white European Jewish Zionists
can occupy that Palestinian land thus letting white European Christians
and white European Jewish people no longer have to deal with each other.
When you think that believing that non-white people deserve basic rights
and to be safe from colonialist invasion apartheid and oppression
is somehow "religious extremism" then you display your racism
and religious extremism.

The title of the book is bold and blunt saying (his crimes). that's seriously shocking. It's a public accusation.
It isn't because of Jewish mistreatment of Arabs that relations between them have changed. And let us not forget that Jews have always had to live as Dimmi (second class citizens) in Muslim lands. It is because a Jewish nation was established within the Muslim Umma that the rage erupted.
No. It''s the fact that Palestinian Lands were confiscated from ordinary Palestinians for the benefit of European Jewish invaders who have treated them disgracefully throughout the past 75 years. Palestinians are actual 2nd class Citizens in israel itself while they are little more than Internees in the lands of the West Bank and Gaza.
Jewish were upper class in the middle east . Unlike the west , they were very well treated in the Muslim countries . It was Eastern European and Western Jews who created Israel , not the Arab Jews . It was not a question of a Jewish state , but question of displacement and ethnic cleansing . If it is racist to have a white and Christian state , why should be there an artificially created Jewish state . What West dont do in thier own countries , why do they support that in Israel .

@@sabrinashahab795 In Muslim tradition, non-believers are considered lower class - their status is Dimmi and they have to pay a special tax (jizzya). Israel is mostly composed of Jews from Arabic countries who were ethnically cleansed (kicked out) of Arab countries in 1947. It is undeniable that Muslim countries who ethnically cleansed their Jews are now ethnically cleansing their Christian populations even as Muslims migrate to traditionally non-Muslim countries in the west. Israel is mostly composed of Jews from Arabic countries and also has a 20% Arabic population as well as a minority of European Jews. Israel has a long history of being a Judean country - the word "Jew" comes from Judean. Many European Jews, who were persecuted for centuries for being Judeans went back to Judea after the holocaust. Dig anywhere in Israel and you will find archeological remnants of Jewish history. And why do Muslims feel that they have a right to create a large and vocal presence in the west but there can't be a single, tiny, country in the middle east that is not Muslim even when that country affords equal rights (not second class citizenship and special taxes) to its Arab citizens?
It was Hitler's actions that led to the Jewish state. Had Hitler not come to power Jews would have continued to live peacefully in Moslem lands and in Palestine alongside their Christian and Moslem brothers and sisters . Before Hitler and the holocaust Zionist aspirations were not taken seriously by most Jews They were happy with the status quo and in many cases it was considered a sacrilege.
Winston Churchill lived in an era where in my opinion at that juncture of history, he did what he did to the best of his ability for the benefit of his country. As any patriot would. To the white British he will always be a hero and one cannot blame them. Love him or hate him, he was a military and political genius who gave his all for his nation.
Following watching the video that’s your genuine conclusion?
GB played a double game promising a nation for both sides in same area and when shit hit the fans they bailed out saying it isn't their problem.
hey nijad. rather than blame the brits ask why didn't the arabs in the mandate start planning for statehood? after twenty years was any arab group ready to form a government? quote "In December 1920, Palestinian Arabs at a congress in Haifa established an executive committee (known as the Arab Executive) to act as the representative of the Arabs. It was never formally recognized by the British and was dissolved in 1934. However, the platform of the Haifa congress, which set out the position that Palestine was an autonomous Arab entity and totally rejected any rights of the Jews to Palestine, remained the basic policy of the Palestinian Arabs until 1948." seems like arabs wasted decades trying to keep jews out of the region rather than build a functioning government.
Much appreciate your positive affirmation of Winston Churchill, deeds not words.
Dr. Paul, I am an Arab Muslim. I have a request, which is that I would like to support the content that your channel publishes with a correct Arabic translation.

I think you forgot to mention that Tariq Ali approaches his subject from a specific political position:
"In 1968 he joined the International Marxist Group (IMG). He was recruited to the leadership of the IMG and became a member of the International Executive Committee of the (reunified) Fourth International. He also befriended influential figures such as Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
This radical Left position clearly influences Ali's analysis of any Conservative figure.

Thanks for the selective history. I notice how quick jihadi apologists are to point out the case of Spain, as if that's supposed to be representative of the larger Arab-Muslim world. In all likelihood Spain was distinct in being the only part of Western Europe conquered into dar al Islam. The Ummayad Caliphate would have had a vested interest in presenting a more tolerant policy there that was different from other areas and probably uncharacteristic when it came to their treatment of the dhimmi minorities given the fact that all Spaniards were ahl al kitab rather than kafirs. It was in their interest to be less brutal.
So ur saying the muslims were less brutal because of the Jizya? 😂 did u also know that if the muslim cant protect them they got to give the Jizya back right?
"Some Arabs hated Jews". So what? That doesn't change history or make Zionism better.
Your reading is very lucid. Thank you.
Wow no comments yet except for one? Last time I was this early, Israel was still Palestine.
Churchill infamously referred to Mahatma Gandhi as "half naked fakir".
The British Empire was using aerial warfare in Kurdistan and Waziristan before WW2. Channel 4 produced a documentary called 'Birds of Death' so it must be true.
The painting of Islam and Muslims here as guiltless and victims is disingenuous, at best.
Tariq Ali's writings border on propaganda.
The speaker completely ignore at least 2 facts
1) Most of the land, especially in the coast, was not arable, and full of swamps and malaria, and not inhabited or used , which the Jews that came since the end of the 19th century, worked relentlessly to cultivate, draining the swamps and clearing the sand dunes
2) in 1882, there were 200,000 people living in the whole of Palestine, not 700,000. In 1948, there were almost 1.3 million Arabs. This is not due to a crazy birth rate but to vast labor immigration from neighboring countries, because of the development of the land by the Jews and the British, creating a lot of job opportunities.
No wonder this is not mentioned
number 1 may be true but it would be hard to verify, but just by reading "Demographic history of Palestine" on wikipedia, it's easy to verify that your 2nd statement is false, and immigration was a small part of population growth. The Jewish agency even stated that between 1914 and 1938, only 23% of overall population growth was due to immigration.
@@wildansyahidillah7978 hello Syahidillah. must muslims spout fake news constantly like the american democratic party? it is a bad habit i see in all comments sections. it is easy to verify the malaria issue but you just spout skepticism instead. wikipedia -
Malaria in Mandatory Palestine
Malaria was a severe epidemic in parts of Mandatory Palestine in the early 20th century, now located in Israel. The epidemic killed many people from the bible period until it was finally eradicated in the early 1960s. Malaria was originally a large obstacle to Zionist settlement, because it restricted the land that was usable for settlement, and affected the lifestyle of the Jewish settlers in Palestine.
muslims should be happy the united nations partition gave them the high land and jews got the low land and not worry about the share not being exactly 50/50.
you should judge any person by the laws of time when that person lived. It is not proven yet that the norms of our time are irreproachable.
Churchill is supposed to have said or written :
"Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith."
Any comments?

Muslim world
The practice of wearing special clothing or markings to distinguish Jews and other non-Muslims (dhimmis) in Muslim-dominated countries seems to have been introduced in the Umayyad Caliphate by Caliph Umar II in the early 8th century. The practice was revived and reinforced by the Abbasid caliph al-Mutawakkil (847-861), subsequently remaining in force for centuries.[2][3] A genizah document from 1121 gives the following description of decrees issued in Baghdad:
Two yellow badges [are to be displayed], one on the headgear and one on the neck. Furthermore, each Jew must hang round his neck a piece of lead weighing [3 grammes] with the word dhimmi on it. He also has to wear a belt round his waist. The women have to wear one red and one black shoe and have a small bell on their necks or shoes.[4]

Churchill having died in 1965, he is unlikely to have spoken about Palestinians. It was only a bit later that Arafat and the OLP introduced for political convenience the notion of a Palestinian people, of a nation. Before that, everybody, themselves included, talked of Arabs. Palestine only meant the region that had been administered by Great Britain, inhabited by all sorts of people.
U r absolutely right. So called “Palestinian people” was invented by theKGB in late 60s when the Soviets learned that the State of Israel took western side in the Cold War.
Your logic is crazy.
If there is a region called Palestine then the obvious term for the people would be Palestines or Palestinians.
Churchill wasn't 5 years old at the time...he kind of had a handle on things.
And did you know that a huge part of Europe was Germanic and Germany was known as a German region ...but its only been a sovereign state since the late 1800s
?? Or did I miss your point ?
And what is OLP ?
@@andycallaghan5975 beside Arabs there are Jews ,Cherkesses , Druses, Shomrones - all leaving in region that you call Palestine. Nobody calls himself Palestinian only Muslim Arabs do. Nobody tries to kill or expel or rob or rape the others, only Muslim Arabs do. And no country , even Arab countries, wants to help them, even when Israelis make them pay for the evil they are and the horror they did.
@@andycallaghan5975 , the name of Palestine goes back to biblical times. The Arabs only colonized the region in the 7th c. CE. Since then, the name of Palestine applied to regional borders that changed over time, and never to any specific people inhabiting the region. As late as the 1920's, some Arabs wanted to call the region Southern Syria.
Since Arab conquest and colonization there never was a single ethnic group living there, nor was any particular group known as Palestinians.
Churchill could never have spoken of a Palestinian people. He would speak, as everybody else, of Palestinian Arabs, Jews, Christians, Druzes, Samaritans, Turks, Greeks, etc.
OLP = PLO, being used to both acronyms in various languages.
Regarding Germany and Germans, if we go back to Roman Germania, it referred to lands inhabited by many different Germanic tribes. They were not Germans but spoke various Germanic languages, same way we are discussing now in a Germanic language (English) without being Germans. The German people(s) and nation(s) slowly started to develop and set during the Middle Ages, before any clear national identity. Ask Austrians whether they are Germans and you would obtain different answers even as the Anschluss was taking place. Ask the German speaking Swiss or Alsacians: they will obviously deny being Germans. You simply cannot call Germans all the German speaking peoples, much less everybody living within your imaginary German region.
Germanic tribes swept all of western Europe and even northern Africa. According to your logic, we should extend the Roman notion of Germania to all of Europe and northern Africa, regard all as "Germans", and ask anybody unhappy about that to please stop being a racist colonizer and please go home, somewhere else.
@@andycallaghan5975 my logic maybe crazy but yours looks academic but actually. blood thirsty anti Semitic there is a region called French Riviera. Never heard of people called French rivierians and the demand for their own state led by murder and distraction. On the other hand, there is Curdistan and 30 million curds collapsing under Turkish brutal attacks. Where did “European values” disappear? What about Coptic Christians in Egypt? They are periodically slaughtered but no intl help delivered. This is a long list of real nations before this bunch of criminals and murderers led by Hamas beasts.

A couple of facts of relevance:
1. Winston Churchill was the first vice-president of the racist and elitist Eugenics Education Society, founded by Charles Darwin's cousin Francis Galton and son Major Leonard Darwin.
2. The eugenics doctrines had profound influence on the treatment of dark-skinned people and indigenous people in all the British colonies.
3. Churchill, like the British Monarchs George v and VI, was a Freemason.
Not a crime to be a Freemason.
I thought the Luftwaffe bombed London first, albeit as a result of German planes getting lost and deciding to drop their bombs.
This was even portrayed in the movie, “Battle of Britain”.
They did and ask the Poles about Warsaw!!! Complete Anti Churchill and Anti British Lies. Germany bombed everyone's cities and invented terror bombing of civilians.
They did.
A fantastic example of modern antisemitism, quoting an Arab writer and cherry-picking other writers to create a distorted picture
2:59 Britain did not do this first. The Germans bombed Warsaw and Rotterdam as they invaded Poland and the Netherlands. It was only a matter of time before they bombed Britain. The Germans started the war and started the aerial bombing. To lay that at the door of Winston Churchill is absurd and dishonest.
Churchil did what needed to be done to stop Hitler. There is nothing more to say about it. War is ugly, innocent people die and suffer. This is why tha blame falls on the one who starts it.
My friend, concerning the part where you mentionned Lebanon, Lebanon has existed since since the dawn of time and its name is mentionned 17 times in the bible. Even under the ottoman empire where damascus directly managed by the turcs, Mount Lebanon had its autonomy inside the empire and maronite patriarch at its head. Lebanon has never been part of Syria and there are 2 chains of mountains as high as 3000 meters that sperates them if you have ever been in the region and the relation of Mount Lebanon with France are since the 12th century.
When you say 2 chains of mountains, is that Lebanon and anti-Lebanon? I never understood 'anti-Lebanon'.
actually the whole middle east was whole until Britain and france decided to break it apart and each took a piece of the cake. Britan had this rule always, divide and conquer and they followed it to the t.

The title is misleading; this is really a Tariq Ali book reading.
I haven't read the book , but thank you for the presentation . I'm sure that you do , in some detail examine the root connection between the Jewish people and the lands of Judea and Galilee at least , and explain that the nation of Israel is possibly the oldest in the world , it's people's suffering almost complete obliteration after the Ben Kokhba revolt begun against Roman occupation in 132 Ad . The resultant depopulation didn't lead to a cultural or religious loss of identification with the ' chosen land ' . This perhaps is a point often missed by commentators regarding the current suffering of so many people , Palestinian, and Israeli today and recently .
If one goes by 2000 year old records - some touching on Fiction, other religious sects have them too, then it 'pulls the rug from under the feet of the colonials in North America, South America, Australia, NZ. Those lands belong to the NATIVES of those lands and NOT to Colonial Whites ! ?????????
Your understanding of this history is super messed up. Israel is only 75 years old. It is one of the newest nations. It was settled by Europeans. The people who had been living on that land were displaced. Prior to and during the European settlers turning up, starting from the about the turn of the 20th century, the land was controlled by Ottoman and then Britain.
There isn't much else to it. Whether the European settlers used to live there or not (thousands of years ago) would be impossible to substantiate. The people who had already been living there may have been, for a very long time, but that's also effectively impossible to prove.
Records don't go back that far, and there is no way to know if they were fabricated.

Tariq Ali forgets to mention that the Jews who came from Europe purchased the lands from the absentee landlords in Syria while the local Arabs were only tenants on the land.
He didn't forget to mention it; he purposely omitted to mention it because it interferes with what he wants people to believe.
Unless I misheard, England and America didn't bomb Dresden until very late 1944 / early 1945.
This was several years after Hitler ferociously bombed England in the so-called Battle of Britain.
In other words, Hitler and Germany started everything, including WWII.
Churchill sure didn’t loved it when our North American Indigenous, Métis and Inuit soldiers came to fight his World Wars. They joined up before being asked. And went home with no recognition from their government til around 1990.
