      Two nations wanting the same land.
      It's not special. The only reason that this seems that way is because of political interests around the conflict,
      and because it's not resolved in an era where most of these conflicts are history.
      Take Alsace-Lorraine for example.
      A region in Germany/France.
      The locals just want to live in peace, wherever they are granted rights and living standards, they are half German and half French anyways! (as far as I know, bare with me for the example).
      But France and Germany are not at war or conflict so nobody talks about the two nations both wanting the Alsace-Lorraine. France has it now. A German wants to go there - He can because of the EU passport/citizenship, the French and Germans stopped fighting and now this land is accessible for both nations, why not?
      Could Arabs and Hebrews just share the holy land? Absolutely yes. Will they? as long as hatred is taught, no.
      I listened to a person who made a documentary about her friends who lived surrounding Gaza. Those people said there could be life together with Palestinians, they said if they were doctors they would voluntarily cure Gaza citizens for nothing in exchange but the resolving of the conflict. They were murdered on October 7th, non-combatants.
      It's about education. Two children want the same sandbox, they could share or they could fight and no one can have fun in it - but we grow up and learn to share.
      It's really that simple.

To see people fighting over something they could so easy share in peace if only they just did so. To me it feels like this conflict will never end until one side eradicates the other, which is such a gruesome and grim vision of the future. I want all these people to live. I want them to just. stop. fighting. Revenge is such an ugly thing, it just feeds on itself in a never ending cycle.

    • @Goobiesnoop
      @Goobiesnoop Před 2 měsíci

      It isn't as simple as two nations wanting the same land, it is the complexity of a nation being given to another people right after the second world war; a people who had not been involved in the persecuation of the Jews being forced to give up their land to make a safe haven for the Jews of Europe. One major problem, that should be obvious by now: You don't make friends by stealing another persons stuff. And now with 75+ years of nonstop occupation and apartheid being brought upon the palestianians, resistance towards oppression was inveitable. This is not to justify any acts committed, it is to state the obvious that now with the Gaza genocide happening, another act of genocide is being brought upon the people of the West Bank, where bedouins get killed and villages set ablaze. So is it a case of two nations wanting the same land or a case of European neo-colonialism once again screwing up another region of the world like it did to South Africa? @@dan-us6nk

  • @lostinthought5621
    @lostinthought5621 Před 11 měsíci +157

    Excellent analysis overall. One point to add was the effects of 1973 Yom Kippur War with Syria and Egypt. Israel was caught flat-footed, lost territory early in the war, and suffered heavy casualties. And although Israel managed to win the war, Egypt gained the necessary leverage to bargain for the return of the Sinai peninsula during the 1978 Camp David Accords.

    • @ingGS
      @ingGS Před 18 dny

      Israel was caught “flat-footed” because the U.S. and Britain told them NOT to attack, they knew the war was coming, the King of Jordan warned Golda Meier, but she could not do anything otherwise they would lose western support.
      Also, Egypt did not get any bargaining rights, the U.S. pressured Israel to give back Sinai in exchange for peace, Israel had clear plans to build urban settlements in the Sinai with as much as 200.000 people, but the idea of peace with arabs and that extending to other countries was a better deal to Israel.

    • @JoshuaFinancialPL
      @JoshuaFinancialPL Před 15 dny +10

      actually no. Israel wanted to give back Sinai and Gaza for peace with Egypt and Egypt refused to take back Gaza and the people there. Gaza still has a southern border with Egypt, which is closed by massive Egyptian fortifications and military. beyond that border is uninhabited desert - but Egypt wont open their border to gazans even to allow a refugee exodus from the war with Hamas. Wonder why.

A military occupation would be like in the West Bank, where military law is set in place, rather than civil law. This difference is because, unlike the West Bank, Israel annexed the Golan. This annexation wasn't recognized at all by other countries, however because of the annexation, citizenship was given and civil law takes place there like with the rest of israel

    The name Palestine comes from the Philistines - a tribe from the "sea people", probably from Mycenaean Greece who invaded and setteled at the southern coast of Cannan, during the bronze age collapse.
    The name most likely comes from the etymological root "Invader" in Cannanite languages.
    The most famous if them all is Goliath, from the story of "David and Goliath".
    The Greeks begun to refer to the entire area of Cannan after them - Philistia. And the name survived also after the extinction of the Philistines at the 8 century BC when the Assyrian empire conqured it.
    After one of the Jewish revolts against Rome - as Mr. Beat mentioned, the area was renamed by it's Latinized Greek name - Palestina. (Like almost every other thing the Romans did with Greek culture...)

      @@iammrbeat Hey Mr. Beat nice video, however while you mention that ever since the Romans called Israel, "Palestine", it does not mean that the group who refer to themselves today as palestinians, were in control of the land simply due to the name given by the Romans. In fact when the Romans called the land of Israel, "Palestine"(which was based on the Aegean Greeks"Phillstines"), Islam was not even around until 7 centuries later! The fact that you say all those palestinians before 1948 lived in Israel and grouped together to fight Israel, gives the impression that it was an Arab Palestinian land before, which it never was. There was never a group of Arabs known as the palestinians (of today), they were simply Arabs from the surrounding countries who lived there aside for the Muslim occupiers of the land such as the Turks etc. Also Jews lived in Israel throughout the years as well, of course it was a minority because they were getting killed all over the world including in Israel by the occupying nations.
      The land was called Palestine so anyone who lived there before 1948 was known as palestinian but it was not an identity of a nation, it was simply a technicality which means Jews were also called palestinians due to living in the land under that name. Palestinians as we know today formed in 1967 by Arafat who had the idea to adopt the false name of the land given by the Romans which stuck until 1948 to give the impression that it was always their land. You never told us when the "palestinians'' declared independence of the land and who their rulers were, because it never happened. If anything it was a Jewish land for thousands of years, and then reclaimed in 1948 through war. So by all accounts its a Jewish land. Just because their were many occupiers of the land doesnt mean it changed anything, those occupiers never declared it as their land they already had a land of their own. Name one Arab/Palestinian king who had sovereignty over a land called Palestine. Can You?
      P.S. Also when Babylon and Rome invaded, Jews didnt willingly leave at all, they fought till the death and those who left were forced to leave, captured and taken into Exile. If you look at Jewish prayers from those times (which Jews still have in the existing prayer books), all the prayers were about returning to Jerusalem and the Rebuilding of the Temple to serve G-D. They wanted to return to Israel but could not.

They sided with the British because the young Turk revolution which over through the sultan and made more of a mess out of the empire, which had been in decline. The British manipulated, lied, and pressured for the people to rise up, then stabbed them in the back. Due to Britain’s heavy racist motivation to get rid of the Jewish refugees after WWII, they saw the perfect opportunity to “cleanse themselves” of the “Jewish problem” and make life better for the Jews.
      European Zionism was founded in antisemitism and racism, and it’s still a core of the belief today. Which explains why Israel is so content with apartheid systems and oppression.

    Just a few corrections, the Jews never willingly left due to Babylonian and Roman invasion, they were captured and forced into exile against their will. Also Romans called it palestina based on the small part of Israel where the Phillistines (Aegean Greeks) resided, land of Phillistines. The Romans renamed it as a disgrace to the Jews and to insult them further after destroying Jerusalem.

    • @nohandle558

      In neither case were all Jews exiled. For example, we read that Jews were exiled and enslaved after the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and the area renamed by the Romans to Palestina-Syria. Yet, the Bar Kochba revolt was from 132-135 AD, because enough Jews were left remaining after the 70 AD 'exile'. Jews have had a constant presence in the land for over 3,000 years. Arabs invaded in 636 AD to spread Islam among the Jews and Christians who lived there. Ironically, Jews allied with the Muslims to fight off the Christian Crusades in the 11th and 12th centuries.

    A straight comparison between Israel and Palestine couldn't possibly be fair. Israel has a chokehold on all aspects of Palestinian life. Also, most Israelis are blissfully unaware of the suffering their occupation is inflicting on the Palestinian populations in the West Bank and Gaza. They have their peace and don't give a damn about the Palestinians. I have read some accounts of Jews expressing sympathy for the Palestinians only to be reprimanded by their family and friends, who see this is a zero-sum game in which either the Jews survive or the Arabs but NOT both.

    At the time of the Balfour Declaration, the Balfour Declaration had no legality. But when the Allies of WWI met in San Remo at the end of the war, they concluded what was to be done with the areas won in the Middle East. They created countries such as Syria, and Iraq. For the area they called the Mandate of Palestine (which originally included Jordan), they decided to use the Balfour Declaration and stating that there was to be a reconstituted Jewish state along ancient borders, and until such time the British were to be in control. These decisions were legally binding, but nonetheless, it went before a vote at the League of Nations (after the East Bank was separated off that became Jordan). Having said that, There are claims that the British and French have made conflicting statements/promises to the residents in the area in an effort to unite them against the Turks during WWI.

The british also promised itself it would occupy palestine and jordan and promised france Lebanon and syria (which you hinted at). One thing left out was that Britain ALSO promised the entire land to the Meccan royal family in exchange for support to overthrow the ottomans. This is one reason, I suspect, why the muslim nations were against the UN borders at the time.

    Great video, I appreciate channels that give unbiased insight into areas of the world predominantly covered by ideologically aligned media outlets. One small correction though, you said that Israel doesn’t have very big cities, and while this observation is correct if judging by administrative areas, with 460,000 people living within the Tel-Aviv-Yaffo administrative area, the Tel-Aviv metro area is much more populous than that at 3.8 million residents.

      The Israeli scale is just different, nobody here refers to גוש דן as the Tel Aviv metropolitan area… Maybe you could include some minor cities within that area, but most other places are considered completely separate cities. So yeah, we don’t have any major big cities like most bigger countries have except for Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

    Oopsie lol I think you've blundered here at 22:17 saying that the Jordan River "makes up much of the western border of Israel and the West Bank" while you probably meant EASTERN border ;). No biggie! GREAT video with a great account of our history and present, and for once a CZcamsr that CAN tell the world what the map of Israel and the map of PALESTINE actually look like! You've apparently however somehow skipped talking about Jerusalem being de-facto actually TWO cities - East and West (West Jlm is Israel's most populous city, Esat Jlm's kinda big too!), Arab and Israeli respectively, that is how they are effectively recognised by intl. law! :-) Which is a good and constructive approach which both Israelis and Arabs tragically fail to honour, ridiculously united around the claim of "She's all mine" from either respective side of the Green Line. You should add that bit of info I think. It's two cities right here.
    And NOOO man Israel's Law of Return is NOT the one that says you have to have-a-Jewish-mother-or-convert to immigrate here (your gaffe at 25:43), that is what the Jewish Orthodoxy rules! :-)) --and not the State, although yep the two are always in an unfortunate convolution together even though no leader admits it... :-D The country's modern Return law rather says that you need any of your grandparents a Jew to be eligible to naturalize here.

    What's happening right now in this area is truly awful. I recognise the Israeli people have a right to exist and live in this space, but the systemic human rights violations and blatant disregard of international law have made me extremely critical of the Israeli government and the IDF. I truly do not know whether a solution is even possible with the current state of affairs, but I sincerely hope that the slaughtering of innocent civilians in both nations will stop soon. It is truly devastating to see.
    As these issues tend to push people into 2 boxes, I tend toward the "pro palestine" box, as I am against the systemic oppression that has been going on for decades, but I prefer to put myself in the "pro peaceful coexistence" box.

    3. 16:40 Syria actually signed a ceasefire agreement in 1974 and it's been the longest lasting ceasefire agreement between Israel and any other Arab state. Syrians often accuse Hafez of selling us out in the six-day war as everyone from IDF, IAF, USA, and Syrian army witnesses claim the surrender of Golan was premature.

The Martyr's Fund is a program run by the PA in which money is given to Palestinians who are killed or imprisoned fighting Israel. Israel argues that, as the majority of those who receive funding through this program died or were imprisoned due to making terror attacks on civilians, this is a "pay-for-slay" policy (the actual wording used), and so has withheld an amount of money equivalent to what the PA spends on the Martyr's Fund.

I think Israelis need to be made aware of a dark mark in our history especially when it comes to the Irgun, which was undoubtedly a terrorist organization and spurred a lot of revenge terrorism against Jews in 1947. The Irgun sought to drive out the British by any means. With that being said Palestinian and other Arab armies also engaged in terrorist acts against civilians. Both should be condemned.

    Overall a really solid and informative analysis and history of both places. The only small critique I would make is that you said that overall Israel tends to be “much more free and fair,” and while by no means is Palestine’s democracy perfect or extremely democratic, it is important to give perspective that there is much systemic and fundamental legislature in place in Israel which openly and explicitly advocates for segregation and discrimination of people based on nationality. For example, your nationality is determined by your ethnicity and it cannot be changed or challenged. Many of the rights you are accorded in Israel stem from your nationality, not your citizenship. Therefore, though the democracy of Israel may be more ostensibly free and fair, it is important to remember that there is fundamental systemic discrimination in even the un-occupied (military) sectors and regions of Israel. Just wanted to point this out to highlight a potentially significant piece of information about Israel compared to Palestine.

      Compare that to the right of return to Jews who can’t trace their lineage to region for 2000+ years. Millions have been granted citizenships with no verification of lineage but that’s not an issue because it reinforces the colonization, right?? If the living natives, and immediate descendants of them, return to the region, as you said, the colony state of Israel literally wouldn’t exist, it would be a united Palestine again where the Zionist don’t enjoy a privileged status anymore and instead are made equal. I really don’t see the comparison here.

    I don't know who you are and I've never watched your videos up to this one, but WOW - I don't think I've seen such a historically accurate, objective and nuanced description of the reality of the region - in English. Bravo.
