  • Britain in Palestine 1917-1948 investigates the contradictory promises and actions which defined British Mandatory rule in Palestine and laid the groundwork for the Nakba (the catastrophe) and the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. The roots of the contemporary social, political, economic, and environmental landscape of Palestine and Israel can be traced back to this period, making it essential viewing for understanding Britain’s legacy in the region and the situation on the ground today.

    “A very useful explanation of how we got to where we are today. Fascinating photos I had not seen before. A great resource to show in any classroom or forum to people who want to learn more about this region, and specifically, Britain’s involvement. Afif Safieh, Former Palestinian Ambassador
    “…This film brilliantly puts into perspective the role the United Kingdom played in Mandate Palestine from 1917-1948.” Rabbi Howard Finkelstein, Ontario, Canada
    “This is an excellent short 18-min video from @BalfourProject explaining briefly but super-clearly how British colonialism has caused a century of war in Palestine.” Matthew Teller, Journalist and author of Nine Quarters of Jerusalem: A New Biography of the Old City (2022)
    “Britain in Palestine 1917 - 1948 is a clear, precise and factual explanation of the historical origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict. For anyone who wants to develop a real understanding of the issue but is intimidated by it’s complexity, this film is the place to start.” Judah Passow, Photojournalist

      As per usual you don't understand the circumstances under which we were dragged into this nonsense. None of the Brits wanted to be there as the "Arab" problem has been raging for millennia and there will NEVER be an answer. If you think you could do better negotiating boarders, have at it! If they were so upset they can cut religion out of the equation and throw dice. Funny how they have yet again turned to us for help - why do you think that is? It won't be happening but still...

      It's not at all "a gem".
      It leaves way too much unsaid i.e the fact that there has never been a sovereign state called Palestine and that a "Palestinian" identity was a concept invented by Arabs in the early 20thC (under the Muslim Ottoman Empire occupying forces who were there from the 16thC to the early 20thC when they were DEFEATED in WWI by Britain and its MANY allies).
      Go research WWI. Go research the GENOCIDE committed by the Ottoman Empire on Greeks and Armenians.
      Go research "Arabization" and what it says in the Qur'an about "infidels" and about domination.
      Islam began in the ARABIA (like the ARABIC language and ARAB culture) 7 centuries after Jesus Christ and 2,000 years after Jews first lived in Israel.
      Hebrew has been the language of Jews for 3,500 years!
      The land of Israel is mentioned 2507 times in the Old Testament (Jewish Bible) and 73 times in the New Testament.
      It's never mentioned in the Qur'an.
      The city of Jerusalem is mentioned 660 times in the Old Testament and 146 times in the New Testament.
      NOT ONCE in the Qur'an.
      The issues in that region are the result of what's written in that book.
      It's not the fault of the Jews (who live peacefully in every country on earth) or the British!
      The following verses from the Qur'an about dealing with non Muslims: 9,5, 9,29, 9,73.
      (They say about 9:5 "oh it says idolaters" but the CONDITION for allowing them to live (submission to Islam) is the same!)
      Also 👇
      "So when you meet them who don't believe, smite their necks till you have killed and wounded many of them" (Qur'an 47:4)
      "And fight them (the unbelievers) until there is no more unbelief (fitnah) and the religion will all be for Allah alone" (Qur'an 8:39)
      And:

Arabic, Aramaic (which Jesus/Yeshua spoke), Hebrew (spoken by Moses and the black Hebrew Israelites of the bible), Amharic (spoken by Ethiopians in Africa). Those languages are all semetic languages, which are all Afro-Asiatic languages. Semetic people's span from east Africa to West Asia, so Palestinians are semetic, Yemeni are semetic, Saudi Arabians are semetic, Ethiopians are semetic.

    The British Mandate for Palestine was not as originally shown in the map at 8:48! In 1918, at the end of WW1 the British Mandate contained all of what is present day Jordan. The Emirate of Transjordan was established on April 11, 1921 as a British protectorate. It was created after the Ottoman defeat in World War I and was administered under the Mandate for Palestine. The region was ruled by the Hashemite dynasty, which also ruled the neighbouring Mandatory Iraq and the Kingdom of Hejaz to the south. The Emirate of Transjordan remained a British protectorate until it achieved formal independence on May 25, 1946 and was renamed the “Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.” All Population figures from that time included all the people that were on the East Bank of the Jordan River in the land that would be given to the Hashemite family for the Kingdom of Transjordan. All Jews that lived in that territory were transferred to the other side of the River Jordan, with all land to the East of that river being Jew free. So in comparing population figures of Arabs and Jews from that period have to take that into consideration. Also, 10 years prior in 1910 Pogroms were still being initiated against Jews living in the land by the Ottoman Empire. 6,000 Jews were expelled to Cairo in Egypt in 1910. I found that in 1917, the Ottoman authorities in Palestine ordered the deportation of 8,000 Jewish inhabitants from Jaffa and Tel Aviv. The deportation was carried out on April 6, 1917, and was accompanied by severe violence, starvation, theft, persecution, and abuse. The evicted civilians were not allowed to carry off their belongings, and it is thought that about 1,500 of the evicted people died as a result of the deportation. Since Jews first started returning to the land during what is called the First Aliyah, even greater amounts of Arabs were allowed to settle in the land by firstly the Ottomans and then the British, who actively encouraged the settling of Arabs that came from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and further afield, to make sure that there would not be a Jewish majority.
    The Palestine White Paper was a policy statement issued by the British government in 1922. It was drafted at the request of Winston Churchill, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, partly in response to the 1921 Jaffa Riots. The official name of the document was “Palestine: Correspondence with the Palestine Arab Delegation and the Zionist Organisation” 2. The paper emphasized that the establishment of a national home would not impose a Jewish nationality on the Arab inhabitants of Palestine. It also called for a limitation of Jewish immigration to the economic capacity of the country to absorb new arrivals. The Palestine White Paper was one of several policy statements issued by the British government regarding Mandatory Palestine between 1922 and 1946.

    Brilliant video and it helped me understand my childhood in Cairo in the 1946 to 1949 timeframe. I think that post the chaos in Palestine where the Brits just walked away and left it to the UN my Dad was part of trying to make sure the handover in Egypt from King Farouk to a new Republic under President Colonel Nasser went as smoothly as possible.
    Mind you even the best laid plans can go wrong, especially where Geopolitics are involved! So it wasn't many years before 1956 came along with the Suez ownership/control issue and that was effectively the real end of British and French power in the whole "Middle East" Region.
    Looking at it 70 plus years on from a 2024 perspective of an Octogenarian (which may include President Biden), it is all happening again with control of the Red Sea short cut trade route. The Arabs getting bombed this time are in Yemen instead of Egypt.
    There is a lesson to be learned which is that ships, especially if they are full of oil, are super vulnerable. All it takes to stop one is a cardboard drone in the hands of a few people. In Ukraine right now thousands of simple people are being shown how to arm and control drones. How to wage war has become a totally new "Ball Game".
    Diplomacy and win-win Scenarios are possible but how much sensible negotiation and with whom can go on in an Election Year is certainly in doubt. So look out for lots of posturing and let's hope that proportional responses are seen for what they are which is" No solution yet" escalation.
    As probably all of us have experienced during our school days. Who did something wrong and who get's the blame are often not the same thing. If the innocent are blamed there will be long term feelings of injustice and unintended consequences from the good guys and also the bad guys who got away with it and will probably do it again!

When you think about how long countries searched for a 'NorthWest Passage" and the money spent financing that exploration you can see how resource routes play such a major role in history.

This was worked out between 1919 and 1947 with minor fights. The brits promised the zionists land that they had no business promising and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forcibly removed from their lands. In 1948, when all hell broke loose the brits left and told the league of nations to sort it out. And here we are in 2024 with NOTHING sorted.

      The Grand mufti was irrelevant has he was just a puppet installed by the British until they could figure out what to do with Palestine. Zionists only bring this up only to try to paint Palestinians as allies of Hitler for propaganda purposes which is simply false. Not all Arabs are the same and its racist to assume so. This is like saying all white Europeans are the same. Arabs consist of many tribes and those who lived in Syria or Iraq for generations arent the same as the Palestinians who lived in Palestine for generations for example.

      The Grand mufti was irrelevant as he was just a puppet installed by the British government until they could figure out what to do with Palestine. Zion*sts only bring this up only to try to paint Palestinians as allies of H*tler for propaganda purposes which is simply false. The Arab race consists of many tribes meaning not all Arabs are the same and its racist to assume so. Arabs who lived in Syria or Iraq for generations are not the same as Palestinians who lived in Palestine for generations for example. It's like saying all white Europeans are the same. As for the motivation for refusal, its because of the loss of their homeland and expulsion from their homes which is a completely valid reason to reject the criminal Balfour Declaration.

      The history is far more complicated. One might assume the Arabs (as they were termed as Palestine was not a nation nor a people, but an area) occupied less than 5% of the land and the Jews occupied a similar area. The land was largely unoccupied, as they are no natural resources there. Hamas would have people believe "Palestinians" occupied the entire area and Jews displaced them. In fact, Jews raised money and bought many Palestinian plots, though the price paid is indeed good for debate.

Since1920, British forces actively started to help the Zionist movement for mass immigration of jewish people to the region (along with lots of other immoral unfair ugly things and oppressions they did against the native Palestinian people) till we reach the even uglier year of 1948.
      It's actually not that complicated (despite Zionists trying to tell you so), not for people who do their research to know the truth and has a moral compass. It seems it has been a strategic plan by Zionists to take the whole region eventually and expel native people. And they killed lots of people and manipulated and corrupted many things since then in my view. It was very immoral and is still very immoral.

The US President was the first world leader to officially recognize Israel as a legitimate Jewish state on May 14, 1948, only eleven minutes after its creation.

      Ireland has the privilege that their own looting and pillaging is lost in the mists of dark age time. Imagine if their ancestors were good at record-keeping. I would think then that the tales of their settlements and invasions of Wales and Scotland may be of historical value. Alas, all that's left is Scottish football fans. Incidentally, and lest we forget, Gaza or the West Bank are not remotely similar to Ireland. Except of course in one small way. Ireland continually asked the French and the Spanish to come over and invade England. Turns out jihads often don't end up too well well for the jihadis. Some learn lessons sooner than others. Also incidentally, the Normans weren't English despite what you may have been taught at school.

      So do we know for a fact that there were no people living before God “gave possession “
      And then you have to forget everything that has happened in between and somehow believe that this land belongs to the Kingdom of Isreal .
      It’s a lot of mental gymnastics required to accept that .

      Not a "problem" - the film tells it as it was. There was no Jordan (created 1946, a large chunk of Palestine), or Syria (created 1945). Iraq and Saudi Arabia were created in 1932. And as far as the subject of this film goes, all the above were united as Arabs in their opposition to any partition proposal allowing Israel to exist even as a tiny sliver of land where the most of the Jewish population was (and had been for millenia).

      During its empire, Britain wrongfully invaded many countries and KILLED MANY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, then managed to ignore and erase much of its brutal colonial past.
      The British empire was established and maintained for more than three centuries, through GREED, BLOODSHED, VIOLENCE, BRUTALITY, CONQUEST, WAR AND DOMINATION
      resulting in MANY MILLIONS OF DEATHS.
      Not a year went by without the inhabitants of the countries being obliged to suffer for their involuntary participation in the colonial experience.
      Slavery, famine, prison, battle, murder, extermination - these were their various fates.
      With absolutely no respect for other cultures and wherever the British sought to plant their flag, they were met with opposition.
      In almost every country they had to fight their way ashore.
      Throughout the period of the British empire, the British were for the most part loathed and despised by those they invaded.
      The British understandably try to forget that their empire was the fruit of military conquest and of brutal wars involving physical and cultural extermination.
      There remains an ineradicable tendency to view the imperial experience through the rose-tinted spectacles of cultural heritage.
      With many Scottish and North Irish people wishing to leave the so-called union and join the European Union and Brexit deeply dividing its citizens, the greatest comeuppance in the history of the world will be the breakup of the British isles, going from a island nation that invaded many countries and KILLED MANY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE to a lonely little pariah, an England and (Wales for now) all by itself.

    Good Documentary of a a very complicated historical period. I visited Israel in April 2023 (I was in Tel Aviv as a tourist when some of rockets hit nearby). I went to some of the museums when their and they discussed basically everything you just mentioned. I spoke to a Christian Palestinian who worked in Israel but live in Bethlehem. Who had a very pragmatic view of the circumstances. She mentioned that all Palestinians had the same label on them (as in all are terrorists) and that life was very difficult for them and her family had lived in Bethlehem (west bank) for many generations and lived in peace with there Muslims cousins. There is unfortunately a lot of BIAS in the news about the conflict, either focused on the Jewish or the Palestinian point of view. One thing I learned is I am not in a position to make an opinion about this! Its a mess lets be honest and It upsets me when people die because of ideologies. I do wish a peaceful settlement would occur, but don't know how. But killing innocents isn't right.

      My father was Scottish and served in Burma. History is one of my strong subjects, part from the Roman Empire , and The Invasion of the Vikings to Scotland and England. Nearly every Country has had its history changed, in Europe and the Middle East.

    No matter what the details of history are but, more importantly how the present is dealt with. History to learn from. The present to live by and the future to prepare for. No excuse for violence from either side and they certainly don't need interference from anyone unless it's to facilitate peace

    Why is Britain being blamed here for trying to unravel an impossible situation? The League of Nations which ultimately became the failed and corrupt UN has more responsibility as it represented a cross section of countries.

      It was an impossible situation of their own devising. The British government spoke out of both sides of their mouth to the Jews and the Arabs, lied to both sides many times, and finally walked away and dumped the whole mess into the lap of the League of Nations. It is a repeat performance of something the Brits excelled at, namely attempting to colonize people in a country that they had no knowledge of and generally making a huge mess of things before leaving without a care in the world. We had to forcefully kick you out of our country twice before you finally got the hint. Unfortunately, our behavior has not historically been any better and we now have a long list of horrifically failed unilateral interventions in other countries to our credit. Nobody seems able to learn from making the same mistakes over and over again.

    This vodeo shows us the conflicts that happend in the past in Palestine and how actuallyJews and Arabs became hostile to each other. It successfully gives us an overview of the history.
    Well documented video. I recommend this video as a historical lesson to understand the origin of conflict in the middle east.

      anywhere the Arab Muslims were outside of Arabia, they were there by war, violence and conquest, even invading Europe, conquering Spain, and had it not been for some crucial great victories by some courageous Europeans, all of Europe would have been lost. Muslims raped and pillaged, took slaves and women for their harems. It is they who took land they had no business being in. And the Ottoman Turks were equally rotten, including GENOCIDE in Armenia. as for the video, he speaks in the practiced mellow tones of NPR, and mixes truth and fiction, and leaves out important facts. such as? Israel in 1948 not only had Truman’s support, it also had Stalin’s. That can only be explained by Divinity.

      Well, actually killing of Jews in Palestine happened before Israel was even created. This video spent 5 seconds on 1929 pogrom. It happened in Hebron. The same thing as on Oct. 7: torture, rape, beheadings. One of the examples there was a Jewish pharmacist, a cripple, who treated Arabs for decades. The Arabs took his eyes out, raped and killed his daughters and beheaded his grandchildren. Did I mention that Israel did not exist then?

    Not unbiased as one would expect from the Brits who always were biased towards the Muslims. I was given a copy of journalist Joan Peters book many years ago and it changed my mind, as hers had been changed, by her extensive research. “From Time Immemorial”. If you can find a copy it’s absolutely an education. The references from census and governmental records as well as news of the day are priceless.
