Brit Learning About The Israel-Palestine History (how did this all start?) 

Anybody supporting the murder, kidnapping, and rape of innocent people on both sides should take a step back. Both Israel and Hamas have committed horrid atrocities and it’s sad to see innocent people dying because of it.

If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's the British's fault for making the same promise to 2 different groups of people in exchange for their help.

Vox said it only goes back 100 years, but it actually goes back thousands of years. So, they are being very biased toward Palestinians.

Something very similar in India happened. Eventually forming Muslim Pakistan separate from Hindu India. Or something like that. I am NOT well versed on it. Just made vaguely aware due to an India born relative and a historical fiction romantic bollywood film called Kalank

Well, war was declared in 1947, and the Israeli Jews quickly won and gained more land. The instigators were greedy. Losing has consequences.

Man, there is so much about this issue it's unreal. Even hundreds of books have been written about Israel vs Palestine and/or Palestine vs Israel:) Because I'm an American and was raised in the "Bible Belt" I know how 'devout American Protestant Christians' think about this issue:) The story of "Abraham" in the Bible Old Testament, in a nutshell ole' Abe was married to a woman named "Sarah" and they had a housekeeper/Nanny named "Hagar" and Abraham wanted kids, he tried with Sarah for many years to no avail, but when Sarah was 90-years-old and Abe was 100-years-old they finally had a boy named "Isaac" (Abraham and Sarah). However, before all this went down Abe got with Hagar while married to Sarah and Hagar gave birth to "Ishmael" (Abraham and Hagar). Now, God had promised Abraham that his and Sarah's "first born son" would inherit all this land (Gaza, West Bank, Israel, but more specifically *Palestine*). Isaac was one "father" of Judaism and Ishmael was a "father" of Islam. Question, who's the rightful owner of the land God promised? Those that side with Palestine claims Ishmael because he was Abraham's first born. Those that side with Israel claims Isaac because God promised not only Abraham but specifically, Abraham and Sarah's first born. The fighting will never end brother:) HA!

Study on your own. Don't listen to anyone, just learn on your own and form your own opinion. It won't end any time soon. If you really want to know, study.

The situation in the area is so hard to decide what to do. It’s so sad.

Palestinians have different laws to Israelis, meaning yes they're treated as less than human on even a legal basis

The video he watched was so bias towards Palestinians and fails to mention so many topics

I am incredulous. This past June, the internet was full of "Hey come to Tel Aviv, it's an open minded, party city with great weather and fabulous beaches!" and cluster bombs

3:35 while the modern pretext is only a century old, it does in fact go back to ancient Israel not the same specific states but similar conflict

I lived in Israel for a year and spent some time in the West Bank. You realize pretty quickly that taking sides is in a lot of ways quite arbitrary and counterproductive. When you talk to people on both sides (in fact, many sides, as not all Israelis and Palestinians think alike), you first realize that these people are really no different from you or me, they just happen to be caught in a political situation that is a lot more complicated and fraught with violence. The second, is that listening to them is a lot more useful than trying to create some conclusion about who is right or wrong. Politicians often side with one party or another to play them to their own advantage, but at the end of the day these are people fundamentally suffering and dying for reasons that are way beyond their ordinary lives and sometimes are fundamentally bullshit. The people who really suffer are innocent people who are either conscripted or in the line of fire or both.

There is a mr terry history on the subject, with a good lack of politics in his commentary. Same video.

Hope they find peace for the common good of their people, so unfair on the innocent people and kids. Definitely better not to take sides neither have done too many good things, will they not get war is an endless loop of destruction that makes no sense until both their countries are leveled to the ground, i just send them love and peace!

You might also look into "The Entire Israel Palestine Conflict Explained" by War Stories. It's an incredible unbiased video that really explains the 'why' behind certain actions, not just a chronological recap of what happened. It explains why Hamas was voted into power and why the Israel government reacts the why they do.

Something never brought up, in part since i am sure kost don't know about it. There are Muslims in Isreal. As in, post WWII moving the Jewish people into Isreal, included a voluntary relocation of Muslims to Palestine. I am guessing those who move either were given incentives, or didn't want to live with Jews. I got this information from a friend of mine, who is a Muslim woman who is from Isreal, while im college. I ahould have asked more questions, but i heard yhe story twice (once personally then again at a cross cultural event). She seemed like she didn't like talking about it, which with everything going on even at the time im 2010, makes sense.

why would there still be war if they would get their land back? many countries fought to get their land back from foreign military presence such as afghanistan, algeria. once they got it back, no more war.

To be honest about the situation, the British should’ve never given that territory to the Israelites. It wasn’t their land to give and it shouldn’t have been given to them. But that being said its to late for that so who knows what’s gonna happen.

Sorry, but I think this video, while pretty fair and accurate as far as it goes, is wrong to exclude the facts that the land we now call Palestine was a Jewish nation-state in ancient history and likely would have been a Jewish land had not the Babylonians, Egyptians and Romans conquered the area and ultimately drove the rebellious Jews out. That's why it was susceptible again to Egyptian Arab conquest in the 8th century and later--it basically didn't have a historically native population at that time. Today, the fight between Jews and Arab Palestinians probably shouldn't be viewed as a moral fight between those with a right to the land and those without. The case for a Jewish right to it and a Palestinian right to it are both strong and so it actually is a case where might will inevitably make right. The Jewish state of Israel is geographically small compared to the large Arab lands surrounding it. Eventually there may be a Palestinian state in the West Bank (and maybe, though less likely now, Gaza). But the Palestinians also have the option of becoming Jordanians, Syrians, Egyptians, Iraqis or Saudis . . . except their "Arab brothers" don;'t really want them either.

Thanks for being a nice guy. I believe on Israel s right to exist but I also support the eb Be of checkpoint apartheid

This video only goes back 100 years, which isn't nearly far enough to understand this conflict and why Israel even believed they had a right to that land in the first place. This conflict is literally 1000s of years old, beginning with ABRAHAM. This problem is an old, deep rooted tree and the last 100 years only leaves and twigs on that tree.

First off the video starts off very false. This goes back since Mohammad

The biggest tragedy of all is that people your age don't know anything about the background of things like this and, worse, that you won't "take sides". That's called "historical relativism" and there is a right and wrong. Even if you grant the Palestinians the right to fight for the land they think is theirs (and that's highly debatable), this is not the way. This is an atrocity and terrorism and you should condemn it.

Always British

You are wading into a potential hornets nest with this topic....

If I was stuck in an open air prison. That response from Palestine would look like Childs Play.

to me the fights about which of the leader who has the smallest you know what😮

No they ain't equal. Isreal is an apartheid state

Free Palestine and prayers for Israel 😭

Good idea to stay out of that one man .... The guy in the video said it goes back 100 years... Hilarious!!! It goes all the way back to Abraham. 😎✌🎼🎵🎶

Look into the creation of Israel after WW2, when western countries unilaterally annexed land that wasn't there's. then you'll understand why there's anger from the countries surrounding Israel.

video isn't stating that the "Jewish nation" are invaders. they're mostly European jews which at their origin are mostly actually converts from Russia.

As an indigenous person I would like to ask The Israeli's how do we get OUR land back???

How do you not know about this conflict?

No offense, but how is it possible you are only learning about this now?

Whatever The Palestinian did. Israel-With help of USA has done a hundred times over! #FreePalestine

Both sides are absolutely horrible.

The catalyst is religion!! Damn religion!!

Palestinians lost, they just won't let it go and are keeping this conflict going. On one hand, you have the international community putting shackles on what Israel is allowed to do with the Palestinians and on the other hand, the Palestinians want that land back so they carry out terrorism against the Israelis. That area is sacred to both sides and they won't or can't coexist. This conflict won't end until either one side is completely annihilated or that whole area is made permanently uninhabitable. It's the only way I see this ending.

It's less a country conflict as it is a religious conflict. Also, this video is heavily biased in the faver of Hamas.

Vox is not the place to learn.

What if we move The Vatican there to balance things out? 😂

Dude. Stay out of politics and religion. You have a nice channel going here. Your gonna have people fighting in your comments

#FreePalestine

3 full minutes of waffling before the video even bloody starts, your intros are too damn long 😑

The terms "Palestinian or Palestine" never existed in the ancient Arab world...they are terms invented by the English when they controlled that area of ​​the Middle East to identify the marauding Arabs who lived in that place that we all know is the land of Israel and the Jews since ancient times. Due to a punishment from God, the Jews were dispersed to all corners of the world but the Holy Bible also speaks of Israel being reborn in due time and Jews from all over the world returning to their land promised by God. We are living in that moment in history where Israel was reborn as a nation in 1948 and God promised that the second coming of Jesus Christ would happen no more than a generation after this happened. How long is a generation? No one knows that for sure, but there is no doubt that we are living in the last days in this world and Jesus Christ is about to return very soon for his believers. It is enough to dig through the lands of Israel to know that archeology proves that the artifacts taken from there are of Jewish origin and that Israel is their land and no one else. You will never find an archaeological artifact under the land of Israel that demonstrates that a people, culture, etc. existed. called Palestinians or Palestine since times past in history...never! Why? Because there were never so-called Palestinians historically in those lands until recently when Arab marauders coming mostly from Jordan, Syria, Egypt among other Arab countries took advantage of the fact that the Jews had uninhabited their lands as punishment from God but that God also promised at the same time that they would return one day to reestablish their nation Israel in the last days that we are living in today. So stop with the nonsense that everything indicates with certainty that Israel is the ancient land of the Jews and that it was reborn in 1948 as a nation and no one can destroy the land and the blessed country of Jesus Christ and his people the Jews... nobody! The Holy Bible clearly tells us that he who blesses Israel and the Jews will be blessed and he who curses Israel and the Jews will be cursed. There is nothing more to argue. Either you are on the side of Israel and Almighty God, or you are on the side of those who want to destroy Israel and Satan. You decide!
