You know a conflict is difficult when you have to go through basically the entirety of world history just to explain the backstory

@dan-us6nk 3 месяца назад

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 3 месяца назад

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 Год назад

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 Месяц назад

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 28 дней назад

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.

"Once you get out of Tel Aviv it gets much cheaper in israel" Let's put that into perspective Mr. Beat. The prices in a small town in the north are equivalent to prices in London for example. It's just that Tel Aviv is sooo ridiculously expensive that this difference in prices (going down to London level expensive) is felt.

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

5:13 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...)

@madcatter1 Год назад

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 Год назад

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.

@@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.

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.

@ouri1212 6 месяцев назад

for anyone reading this comment, please know that absolutely none of that is true.. I actually had a different problem with the video, it happens to be with the same sentence as you pointed out.. Even though the democracy in Israel isn't flawless it is miles ahead of any of it's neighboring states and it is definitely lightyears away from the Palestinian democracy... The sentence you wrote "while by no means is Palestine’s democracy perfect or extremely democratic" is hilarious really, they don't even hold elections. They are simply not a democracy and never have been.

@TizBaz5 Месяц назад

A fifth to a quarter of Israeli citizens are Arabs. They have full rights as citizens. The only differences: Jews have the right of return while Arabs do not, as letting every single person who claims to be a fifth-generation Palestinian "refugee" claim citizenship would cause obvious problems. If you don't know what I mean, Israel would not exist anymore. Also, Arab Israelis are exempt from the draft.

@@ouri1212 @TizBaz5 Israel has the modern equivalent of Jim Crowe laws… racism, segregation, and racial stratification are core tenants of the Zionist movement. Non Jewish Israeli citizens are established as second class citizens under law. The right of return is not the only thing Arabs are denied. Making the claim that “5th generation citizens” coming back to Palestine would be an issue is nonsensical, most of them are the children (2nd gen) and grandchildren (3rd gen) of the victims of nakba… there are Israelis living in the houses their living relatives built… 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.

@Svenskanorden1that’s incorrect. 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.

Hey, I feel like I have good insight on this topic since I am Palestinian with Israeli citizenship (I live in one of the Arab towns Israel annexed in the 1949 armistice). First of all, I want to thank you for talking about this extremely important topic that a lot of people shy away from. I feel like it paints a great overall picture on the nature of the conflict, but there's one aspect that I feel like you didn't represent in the best way, and that has a lot to do with the two maps of the countries you show. While I wish that there was an independent Palestinian state with the borders you showed, in reality the majority of that area is controlled by the Israeli military, and the Israeli government has built many Jewish settlements with hundreds of thousands of settlers in strategic areas of the West Bank that are critical to the Palestinian state's viability (For example, settlements built to sever East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank, and settlements built on areas that contain the West Bank's water resources). Palestinians control very little of the West Bank (which is the biggest reason the economy is so bad) and the policy of increasingly right-wing Israeli governments seems to be to work towards annexing most or all of Area C, basically annexing most of the Palestinian territory except the major population centers themselves, and this is where the apartheid accusations come from. The situation today is very, very asymmetrical. I am very pro-peace but unfortunately, I don't see it happening anytime soon, with our increasingly polarized world. Israeli governments only seem to be getting more right wing (polls show hardline parties getting record seats in the next election), and the moderate Palestinian Authority is becoming weaker than ever as its peace-based mandate is falling apart.

@user-we4ih1tp7n Год назад

i am all in favour of peace but lets say the truth,the jews who lived in israel came in 1920 with autonomy plan(jews will live under muslim hegemony in the land of israel,not independence,as long as theg have autonomy from sharia rule,that offered was answered by 1920 and 1921 jerusalem and jaffa massacres and then 1929 attacks on the jewish communities of hebron and safed by islamists.in 1947 israel accepted the partition plan,and the arabs started a compaign of killing israeli civilians,till the arab nations invasion in 1948 over 1200 jews died fighting local arab militas and mujahideen groups that infiltated israel(5000 died after the arab countries invaded). in 1999 and 2006 israel agreed to split the land ot israel and givr up control over judaism 2 holiest sites -temple mount and tombs of the patriachs,and then most of the so called "settlements(the 600 years jewish quarter of jerusalem is considered a settlement) were in esst jerusalem and adjacent to the israeli border. israel agreed to remove the small(back then) settlements deep in arab areas and compensate the arabs with other lands(and money)for "settlements" they cant evacuate.the arabs eventually rejected that offer after dragging the talks for a while.in 2005 israel removed all its jewish citizens and military posts from gaza strip and handed it over to the plo.yet in 2006 hamas won the general elections in the PA and in 2007 they took over gaza strip renewing attacks on israel.

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.

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.

Regarding Balfour Declaration, the area that was know as Palestine, included today's Jordan as well, that was also promised to the Jews. Your map was wrong. Borders of the land of Palestine as you describe them only came after Transjordan was broken off

@jacobdrj101 Год назад

I noticed that too. That and the blockade of Gaza being a joint one with Egypt, as well as Egypt being in control of Gaza before 67, was another map related set of issues. Still, overall, fairly good overview.

I think it’s one thing to wanna establish independence in a place you already live in but zionism often was decided overseas without the native palestinians, therefore not decided by the people to split up.

It was also thought up by antisemitic white supremacists who wanted to get rid of the Jewish refugees “plaguing” society before and after WWII. Israel was founded in racism, and will continue in it.

Jewish Israeli here. I think it's a big problem that when we ask why we are getting terrorist attacks is that the Palestinians are taught that we are the enemy and to hate us. Although I don't know wether it's true or not and I prefer to think it isn't, it's not hard to see us doing the same. We aren't being told in schools or something to hate arabic people, but we hear about attacks and frustration from them and this leads many kids to grow up and be hostile towards them. One thing that helps is going to public universities and study together with Arabs and see that all of us are people.

Amazing how much you were able to cover! I really appreciate when RU-vidrs with a large audience are willing to speak about the region. Also impressive that Harry's is willing to sponsor. Respect. A few things: 1. 3:50 Jews were enslaved by Babylon they didn't just flee. I believe the number is at least ten thousand. Cyrus freed them and allowed them to return, not just encouraged. 2. 10:07 Fun fact: Zionists were not sure at first whether they would settle in Palestine. Among other countries they considered Uganda and Japan. Imagine an alternate universe where it is called the "Japanese -Israel" conflict. 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. There is also an article about Hafez receiving $100 million for the land.

About 2, you're wrong in the terminology. There were such ideas, yes, but they weren't coming from zionist (the word Zion is another name for the land of Israel), but by people who called by themselves Territorialist. Anyway, they were a minor movement and faded after a few decades. Their biggest achivement was the autonomous jewish region in the USSR, which was also kinda made possible by the Bund and as a reaction to USSR jews being mostly zionist. About 3, Syria and Israel did fight during the lebanese conflict in a few battles, also Israel pretty regularly bombs Iran and Hizballah places of intrest in Syria, not to mention the destruction of the syrian nuclear reactor. There hasn't been a total war, yeah, but it's a very tense ceasefire.

@Hayanomie Год назад

@@enoch9468 2. In the early 20th century Cyprus and El Arish on the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt and its environs were proposed as a site for Jewish settlement by Herzl. 3. The ceasefire is specifically over the Golan heights and is specifically cited by Israeli leaders like Netanyahu as reason for why Assad is preferable to rebels.

You have very quickly become one of my favourite political youtubers. This video was very informative, I really appreciate the recognition of both the Israeli and Palestinian people. 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.

@sebastianlaplume461 28 дней назад

Flash forward a couple months and Gaza is a smoldering ruin with oct 7 being inflicted on the Palestinian’s every single day for half a year. There will be no two state solution, the struggle is close to over, the colonizers have more or less won. West Bank is becoming increasingly violent and settling has accelerated. It won’t be long.

@orrling Год назад

no most of us [all of us except for the religious rightwing and anti-Zionist margins] don't want a union - we're two *very* different societies and peples (one a Western values-leaning civilization with a great stress on individual freedom and progress and the other - Arabs where social beliefs and goals differ starkly) and in such circumstances sharing a federal government and/or our capital is nonviable - the solution has always been and still is splitting the capital as it's practically already split into West Jlm and East Jlm i.e. two separate cities and when i say separate cities i also mean separate nation states altogether, with gaza and the west bank plus adjoining arab israeli towns that will become part of palestine thru citizenship swap all being the Arab state and the rest - the Jewish state which thankfully already exists. hostile competing ethnic groups shouldn't be forced together. and the Golan will return to syria
