Thats the problem with dramatization and politization of history, it's not about what really transpired but what supports your current political opinion.
Yeah it's sad how so few people catch on to him blatantly lying. the guy also claimed "there are no Hamas in the west bank" over and over again and the world is believing him. Just goes to show how good Israel is at reigning them in with very few casualties.
@@ghosthunter0950 You know what they say, " A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes” and this is exactly how it is today, their lies will be heard throughout the planet and when its debunked another lie pops up and it just go on and on, People don't even question it, Europeans and Americans will take the word of a designated terr0r group such as Hamas over the word of their own governments including America/Israel, People are literally just following this trend like a sheep in a herd, many of these protestors are paid
@@thehetmanmapping1434 Well, you're not wrong. Such was often used by Hollywood animators for war documentaries during WWII. For another idea as to how do give new perspective, TIK's old work on the North Africa campaign sometimes shows the units of only one side to suggest the 'fog of war' -- in real life, the enemy doesn't pop up on some magic 'scanner'. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ji7MZYB4dho.html
@@user-io5mz5ck6e *All I hear are excuses. Arabs had support from USSR , oil money , more than 3 times the number of soldiers, British military capable trained Arab legions yet you couldn't even last 6 day's against a tiny nation.* Arabs had 2500 tanks against only 800 . Also 957 aircraft against 300 Israeli plane which kept openly without hanger because you bought your own propaganda of superiority
@@user-pm7fv9dt6j I am talking about 1948 war. You can check for numbers and details by yourself. However I belive that Arab armies are very bad at modern warfare, and Israeli army did earn the victory. The problems come from inside the Arab world itself.
@@user-pm7fv9dt6j And in 1967 Israeli planes more advanced you cant compare between 1st generation of jet fighters which we have compared to Israeli then had 2nd generation quality of weapons more important than quantity and quality with Israeli side
You're probably some of the most underrated mappers on RU-vid and I love your content so much because u put tons of detail on your maps like cities and roads which is great
An interesting history fact that I heard a long time ago back when I was in university: was that over 50% of Israeli soldiers that fought in this war were holocaust survivors. I always thought about that. Like when you have no home to return to if you fail, and no where’s else that welcomes you; you are fighting for everything because you have nothing left.
@@artos9406 Sure. They moved there, UN voted for a partition plan which allocated 1.5 times the modern day west bank plus gaza to palestine, and the arabs rejected it and tried to destroy israel. It was a war for survival, and they won. Now they get to keep their land because they've been there 75 years. It is that simple. The arabs lost; tough shit, now the jews have been there 4 generations and it'd be wrong to force them to leave (also impossible; they have 400 nukes good luck lmao).
Here in Israel it is a common misconception. However, Israel managed to gain a Quantity advantage overtime. Israel also had better coordinated attacks so they managed to field more troops to each battle.
I don't think the orientation is disorientating at all, really. I think it was a good call that you decided to rotate it this way, since it allows for a closer view of Israel, which means we can understand the finer details of this conflict. In other words, great job as per usual. Looking forward to the next video.
The odd orientation is to be able to show more detail. If it's disorienting, there's nothing stopping you from rotating your device, I suppose. Or head? if you use a monitor
This is really interesting man, I always liked your content and how much detailed it is, And I appreciate the hard work you do. By the way the maps looks really cool.
You are so damn wrong, all today's supporters of israel are crying about october 7 2023 and don't want to hear anything more from history. Please just stop commenting serious things in the internet.

@@nochybanieraczej2307 Are you kidding when I mention the fact that there has never been a state called Palestine in history, Palestine supporters brains melt.
@@nochybanieraczej2307 There was the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem under the ottomans then the British mandate of Palestine. There has never been a country or Palestinian people in history ever meanwhile the Jews named cities like Jerusalem thousands of years ago. I agree with some of the plights of the Arabs residing in that location but the name Palestine is propaganda, its just the truth.
When you win a war against 4 nations who have twice as many troops as you, also having British commanders and as well as being well trained with your army being ragtag militias, while under an American embargo, while not even having a good economy, AND having outdated equipment.
@@dodolulupepe The Portuguese in my experience have treated Spaniards with contempt, acting as if they were superior, so I did a video in a separate defunct channel where I proved how wrong they were, to humiliate them and educate everyone. See my series "The British Empire Was NOT The Biggest." I humiliate the British too. They always look down on my people. Few Brits are decent.
@@ninds437 The desire to say that is to defend my people from the Portuguese who treat Spaniards like inferiors. This one did not do so (here anyway), but I wanted him to know the truth, since his username says he would be interested in the topic.
great map and outline. You know what would make it even better? If you could get an idea of the OOB of the belligerants and eventually the reinforcements.
That doesn't even show foreign involvement. There were US, French, Italian, British, and Irish volunteer forces supporting Israel, while Russian, Iranian, Chinese, and other forces supporting Palestine.
@@idiocrat3744 those were mainly jewish the soviets sent about 800 troops 600 of which were not jewish to fight in the war. it would have helped the soviets if Israel did not exist because they were bordering a number of muslim nations and needed the oil.

Map lovers should check out my realistic maps for Age of Empires 1 and 2. I did the Far East, Eurasia, Europa, the Spanish lake (Pacific Ocean) and the world.
Soldier with the Arabs is a great book from the commander of Trans-Jordan's Arab Legion. (An English WW1 vet) Outnumbered, outgunned, hopeless 'allies' like Egypt who stole ammo shipments intended for Trans Jordan. This was a cool video that brought back many memories. 👍
The embarrassment of relying upon such tactics, and barely coming out of the war with control of Gaza, may have influenced the generals who led the coup against king Faroukh. Naguib and Nasser's Pan-Arabist ideology surely had a lot to do with consolidation and coordination of resources, feeling perhaps that they had Suez but not enough to hold it and Sinai, let alone Gaza, alongside it.
can i just say how pleasant it is to see the comments and there aren't people trying to kill each other? mostly.. even those who have our biases should just be able to discuss it peacefully.
there is no way, that if you type something about Israel, there won't be someone anwsering "You've stolen..." etc, so it's pretty hard to keep comments calm
I really liked this but I have a couple of criticisms. This format, of simply showing the areas occupied by political entities may not be the best to explain what had occurred. 1. It doesn't demonstrate contested areas of control among Arab or Jewish allies. It also doesn't demonstrate internal conflicts such as those among the Jordanian v. AHC and Egyptians in Hebron or Bethlehem in May 1948 and December-January 1949, tension between the ALA and Lebanon in the Galilee, or the destruction of a Syrian brigade during operation Hiram, or Lebanon's conflict with Syrian tribes in October 1948 (resulting in withdrawing their forces from the area completely after their defeat in May 28-29). 2. It doesn't the size or scale of different forces or the movement of armies which were required to occupy areas. Such as Syria's withdrawal of the galilee in May 1948 they only returned , the scale of the Muslim Brotherhood's control of the south and the coast, the ALA's control of the north, or the . 3. It takes liberties with certain aspects, such as Transjordan's army moving from Jordan itself to capture kfar etzion, when the army actually moved from its base in Hebron (Transjordan had a problem after the battle of getting supplied, transporting prisoners, and reinforcements which they had to wait two days until after the mandate ended to receive, and the British withdrew from Ramat David and Haifa on June 15, (though British planes did continue to constantly patrol the skies). I think a better way to have mapped it would have been to do it similar to operations room and follow the brigades, battalions, and regiments. Or simply showing areas on the map simply as blank if they were either unknown to you or had questionable control over. Otherwise I really appreciated the level of detail to demonstrate the fighting over the roads, villages, and cities.
The reason that it is in the current format as it is much easier to read (a colour-coordinated map is way easier to read than one with a bunch of squares everywhere) Eastory does a combination of divisions and frontlines, but it is much easier to produce one that is just coloured
Why were British troops included in the graphic? It was my understanding they weren't involved in the war. Am I wrong on this? does anyone have sources showing me otherwise?
And the Arabs keep blaming on their lost the "West" when Britain actually saved Egypt ass and helped them. Also Britain helped the Arabs in Jaffa. Also supplied all the Arab nations and still lost... wow.
My grandfather fought in this war when he was in the Lebanese Army. The Lebanese actually showed a good fight as they won the Battle of Malkieh (the only major battle between Lebanon and Israel in 1948). But they were to small (3000 men of which 1000 were deployed). Israel could go to towns that had little to no resistance.
I thank him for his service. Every soldier who fight should fight bravely and it sounds like he did. :) I like when a smaller nation shows it can still fight well. I wish that the Jewish and the Islamic Peoples could live in peace in this land that once prospered.
@@Uqwefsdjxsa Yasser Arafat, May 10th, 1994, recorded in the Johannesburg's mosque : "This agreement, I am not considering it [1993 Oslo Agreements] more than the agreement which had been signed between our prophet Mohammed and Koraish, and you remember the Caliph Omar had refused this agreement and [considered] it a despicable truce." All is said.
True. The main force in the north was the "salvation army". All it did was attack jewish towns, then when the IDF came run away. Ironically, the lebanese pressured the local arabs to leave "until the war is over", calling them traitors if they stayed... Then were shocked when they stuck.
@@varshavianka848 Ironically no one even supported Israel outside Czechia selling us weapons(with Stalin's approval),they are the only ones broke the world wide arms Embargo on Israel,while the British were literally Arming and training the Jordanians.
@@varshavianka848 Intresting facts...Britian general in this war commended the Jordanians,another one The First Weapon ever sold/shiped from America to Israel was in 1968 breaking weapons Embargo lasting two decades,even the American aid started after the Peace with Egypt, where both side got American support.
@@yakov95000 the British sold fake weapons to Egypt, forced it not to use its full milliatry force, same with Jordan but Jordanise got more training and got British commanders Eh?
@Samer Nattifi no, they didn’t have ww1 technology, though many malitias I will admit did, but Egypt was more then armed as during the Italian invasions and the North Africa campaign the Egyptians were armed and trained well to fight, and Syria was roughly the same thing. Further more they wouldn’t ethnically cleansed them. The Israelis I will admit around the 50-80s were brutal in occupation but in its early days they understood that more violence and murder would only make things worse. Also it wasn’t against all odds, and it wasn’t 50 thousand vs 150 000, yes by the end of the war the Israeli numbers around 118 000 by the start of the war they were outnumbered everywhere except Jerusalem and had to build entire army’s from scratch. And last is that I think it’s petty for you to keep this up. Most Jewish and Arab citizens are friendly towards each other, it’s just the big men in power that refuse to make things better. The Israelis refuse to give up Muslim sacred land end the arabs refuse to stop launching attacks and refusing negotiations. Both sides have people that want it to stop, but politicians and generals that want more.
@@karims4168 massacre? the population of Palestine grew by almost 200k this year. what massacre? also, the reason why Hamas got a lot of occupied land in the beginning is because they launched a suprise attack on an israeli holiday, when everyone was just celebrating and chilling at their homes. also, hamas controls the entire gaza strip and has its own militants.
@@Bangladeshi_Edits ahhhhh.... if we really lost these wars then 1. Israel would not exist. 2. Lebanon would conquer all of north israel but guess what... thats not what happend... because we conquered south lebanon in the first war and held a "safe zone" inside lebanon, in the second war our goverment dexided to leave the safe zone and that resultes in another war... of we compare the amount of damage then beirut was kind of deleated so yeah we won also because if we really want.. lebanon is an easy pray to conquer
Imagine how great it would have been if the Arab armies just let the Jews have a state. Their wouldn't have been a war and the whole area would be larger. Then again, seeing as Egypt and Jordan took over it might have just been a land grab.
@@user-yi4mt4hp8u well yes, they had the potential and were deciding on whos land to make a state in. Ireland, Argentina or Uganda! Hence there are no supporters of Israel from any of these 3 countries.
The Zionists never fully agreed to the partition plan, they just agreed to it because it gave legitimacy to the Jewish state, and only agreed after they became sure the Arabs would refuse, because had the Arabs agreed, they would have had to agree to the borders assigned to them by the UN, when it came to the actual war and fighting, the Jews completely ignored resolution 181 and conquered far more territory
As a Jewish guy and immigrant to Israel who's studied this war a lot, I have to say I love the detail of this map and the events of our Independence War. I'm glad you included the Lehi and the Etzel too. This is the best map I've seen, well done!
Day of Independence? I'm sorry, you have to be a country first in order to have an independence day. Small hats and long noses have no such claims except by apartheid and injustice.
Its a very complicated subject, but remember that the Jewish militias were around for decades under constant attack by Arab raids and forces, and were also veterans of both wars (the Jewish militias who were fighting the British volunteered to join them for WW2, because of the seriousness of the situation). They were joined by partisans and Holocaust survivors, many of whom had nowhere else to go. The Jewish militias were wildly underarmed and under embargo, and only got weapons from Czechs who were willing to break the embargo. The British supported the Arab armies and supplied them weapons for years and years. In the end it was the result of a lot of extremely serious incredibly well trained fighters who had no where to go and had survived the Holocaust or Hitler's armies, vs. Arab nations that had mostly palace guard armies with very little experience, even though they were well equipped, that mostly just wanted to go home.
As an Israeli military historian I can say this is the most accurate map I found on youtube. The only thing missing is sources, which some of my colegues complained about
you are a fool to thinks this was a "war" becase it was not and none of the attackers had a regulated army. it was all just some locals with old rifels on horses and nothing more
@@urbanarmory Not really, the fronts are in the sea with the houthies, in the North with Syria, Lebanon and partly Iraq, there is also a front with Iran in the border between Iraq and Iran, because during the war Israel also attacked Irainan troops and Iran attacked Israel, a front with Hamas in Gaza, another one with the Islamic Jihad in the West Bank, and a front with Iran near Yemen [Iran attacked ships of a lot of countries with the Houthies near Yemen]. Those are 8 fronts.
People love to dismiss this time period. How outnumbered and outclassed Israel was, no American support like the drones love to cry out about. And still Israel prevailed ❤
There was nowhere to run, nowhere to retreat. Arabs live from Atlantic all the way to Indian ocean. Control tens of counties, vast territories. Jews have just this tiny piece of land they call their own. If they loose it, it might be lost forever.
outnumbered? by the end of the war they literally had double the soldiers tf do u mean? israel were loising the war badly till the truce where there was supposed to be a weapons embargo, obviously israel broke the terms of the truce as they always do and just imported weapons, by the enmd of the truce they both outnumbered the arabs, and had ww2 equipment compared to arabs which were using mostly ww1 equipment no wonder they lost
Iranian here. I support Israel for its determination to thrive and bring democracy (however flawed) into the region. I support Israel and others who promote in saving LIVES and building a future for their people, not advocate for martyrdom and jihad. I also support a free Palestine free of Hamas or any other extremist warmongers who have taken Palestinians as hostages such as the Islamic regime in Iran and their puppets like Hamas and Hezbollah. I am against terrorists like Taliban, al-qaeda, ISIS and their supporters who (might surprise you) are Russia and the US both. Free Iran from the Khamenei and IRGC terrorists and you'll have a very very different landscape in the middle east.
@Mr. poor well yea Pan Arabism is an ideology that is kept alive only by it's leaders. without them it's just a bunch of tribes. what you don't really expect a bunch of tribles uniting the so called "Arab world" do you ? its only strong authoritarian army man that hold these countries together by the gun. that's how it always been. without them in charge they collapse.
@Mr. poor Its not only about power its compeating interests people in syria want things diffrent then lets say people in Lybia. Thats why unifications like the united arab republic did not last. You blame it on foreign impirialists that the arab world stay disunited but in reality its more about you then them. As many states were devided by impirialism yet they manged to unite, china, india, vietnam,italy. Maybe your not as strong or united as you thought up to be. No point to unite into something bigger when what's there is already rotten. As you just built a very shaky house of cards.
@Mr. poor You think im a dumb american lol ? No im an israeli my self and cause of this i know pan arabism is a joke the only thing you could agree on is israel cause otherwise you don't have any purpese to unite and even that thought is collapsing as more and more arabic realize that they can't distruct their masses of their problems any more and blame everything on israel. So more and more arab countries recognized israel and moved on.
