The Borders of Israel (Essential Lectures in Jewish History) Dr. Henry Abramson 

Something compelled me to read up and understand the dispute and quite frankly as I watch the many children damaged emotionally, physically and emotionally over the years, who in their mother would want to raise children on either side. Why did the UN meddled in at one point and in my opinion made a greater mess almost as if the powers to be want these nations in turmoil. How can anyone think there will be peace with the land so divided, it looks like a puzzle. I pray for everyones well being. Henry, you do explain very well the puzzle that in my 47 years of life I can finally understand and more importantly makes me want to understand it more.

Thank you for this unbiased geographic explanation. It certainly helps me to be up to date. I was born in 1947, had planned to go to Israel in 1967, and ended up in the US Army in 1968. World events have tended to create detours in my path.

YaherKoach Dr Henry, best regards from Down Under, Melbourne Australia. My Father ZL volunteered and was a soldier in "Milchemet HaShikrur". My Father ZL would recount and tell us stories about one of his officers Moshe Dayan! later Dence MInister.

Thanks for the lecture. Do you think you would be interested in doing a video about the historical boundaries of ancient Israel?

You made that very clear and cleared up my confusion on the borders in Israel. I enjoyed listening to you.

awesome presentation

Waoo, I am so glad i found your channel, if you ever visit Toronto (I understand Ontario is home :)) I would love to attend your lectures :).

I would like to add my sincere thanks for this explanation of Israel's territory. I has truly helped me to understand a bit of the conflict in the region and the historical basis for it. Indeed, let us pray for peace in the Middle East.

That is NOT Jimmy Carter @ 15:30- but rather Bill Clinton.

Excelente historic exposition.

Please do a lecture on the formation of Israel during and after WW2 please doctor! I want to hear about the few years there between WW2 and the Arab-Israeli war.

Hi! I really enjoy your lectures, they have helped me tremendously in understanding jewish history! I'm really curious about the map of the world with jerusalem in the middle, what's the name of the map? :D

Thank u for the video .....could u do one on the borders of the land of Israel??

Your description is very generous towards the Arab side, perhaps overly generous. You don't even mention WHY Israel decided to put up their wall, a decision made under the sainted Rabin.

Extremely useful man!

I found Barbara Tuchman's "Bible and Sword" had an interesting take on the subject.

The audio quality was not up to your previous standards.

I wish I could be so diplomatic.

Dr Abramson...Rabbi Mohilever started religious Zionism way before Hertzel..Battle of Bnei Brak and settlement of eretz Yisroel..schmittah and yobel became a big issue soon after. Rabbi Kahane was inspired by Mohilever. Maybe do a course on both yidden.Todah.

8:20 the map on the left looks a lot like berlin trapped in east germany.

+brrrrrick LOL! Billy Carter!

5 nice Graphics though!

perry the platapus mug!!!!!

Something to consider now in the wake of what the borders of Russia are today

Again, a well talk. I might add that when Jerusalem was depopulated both Arabs and Jews which lived there before were expelled. I also think that looking at the map makes it indeed more neutral, we can look at mass killings of either Arabs or Jews which are recorded, but that would create a talk which isn't neutral, while most people can agree on what you told here. By the way, I like your Phineas and Ferb drinking cup xD

THIS IS NOT PRESIDENT CARTER, BILL CLINTON.

Reasonable summary....but not sure how the eviction of 10,000 Jews from Gaza and destruction of 22 Jewish communities got no mention. All you said was Sharon pulled out the army. Plus you made mistake re Crater versus Clinton in Oslo picture.

Why did Israel gave away Gaza Strip?

Bert escaped from institution again...lol
