Animator here, Hope you guys enjoy part 2

oversimplified: "its impossible for an animated history channel to make a video every few months" Things I care About: *hold my beer*

And people wonder why the Palestinians are pissed off. I hate this world.

Oh boy, the sequel to the highly anticipated, controversial topic of Israel and Palestine. Seriously though, keep up the good work, because a lot of people avoid this subject quite often. 👍

Imagine being prosecuted in Europe for so long that you feel the need to do the same to another group that had absolutely nothing to do with it all.

You fill the gaps oversimplified leaves for us 😅

Moral of the story dont leave the brits with important lands.

The pro Israelis are saying that this is one sided and is pro palestine , most of the sources were from jewish diaries and books , even the oppressors wrote about what happend and you say it is one sided ?

For the people claiming that this video is biased: 1: this video is not based on a single source. You can check the description 2: Two of the sources are by isreali historians.

Are we willing to bet that everyone who said „TICA is biased" wouldn't have complained if the video had been pro-Western?

This doesn’t acknowledge that “Palestinian” included EVERYBODY who lived under the mandate (including Jews) until 1964.

Moral of the story: Free Palestine

I might like you a little more than Oversimplified, especially after your Vietnam video. Theres humor but you also dont take the tone/horrors of war completely out of it for the sake of humor. Not saying one is better than the other, youre both absolutely phenomenal to watch. Just my opinion

When you realise it's not the Jews or the Arabs who are the villains here, but it's actually the Europeans:

another W from Oversimplified's heir

Every time I revisit the history of Palestine, it makes my anti-Israeli spirit stronger.

Why is this so controversial. The Palestinians were literally colonized. I understand why the Jews were desperate for a safe haven. But Britain was just doing what they were doing best then and Israel continued it.

Thank you for revealing the truth!

You know your unbiased when ground news sponsors you

UN guy casually ignoring that the lands he gave arabs were cities primarily populated by the arabs "70% of the land", while the areas granted to israel had much higher jewish concentrations of population. Disingenuous to assume "70% of the land should go to the 70% of the citizens", thereby forcing a population swap based off of the numbers, and not where people were actually located in that moment. It wasn't just to "make up for the guilt of the Holocaust". Although that was definitely part of it, that's very simplistic. It had something to also do with actual concentrations of citizens by ethnicity in the British territory in that moment.

3 weeks ago israeli forces raided jenin (wich had nothing to do with the war by the way) and they went to the place where my mom works at she was at home thank god because they trashed the place computers chairs tables everything just broken oh yeah and they stole the money that was there *how is this self defence?*

I was actually pretty neutral and want to see the Palestinians and jews (the ones that colonized palestine not the ones who have their ancestors living there) live together. But after watching part one and part two, i understand now how being neutral is just a way to say you know nothing about this conflict. You're doing gods work. Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸❤

this whole vid is terrifying why can’t we all just get along 😢

I love how Subway is used to represent poison😂

Historical background: Jews began purchasing land here when this was still the Ottoman Empire. At that time there was no cohesive Palestinian identity, but Arab nationalism began to emerge (as a response to the Young Turk movement), and they did object to the Turkish government about Jewish land purchase. But the government didn’t do much. When the Ottoman Empire broke up, the League of Nations decided what to do with the territory, and in the interim the British were given a mandate for control of the region that is Israel today. When the Mandate ended, the UN proposed to partition the land between the Jews and Arabs who lived here. The Jews agreed, even though the proposal involved a small strip along the coast and a lot of valueless arid desert. The Arabs refused, and launched a war. They lost. Many Palestinians fled or were thrown out, and their land was taken over by the new Jewish state. The Palestinians who remained are Israeli citizens today, they make up one fifth of the population, they had a party in the previous governing coalition, and are better off than any of their fellows in the region. In 1967 Jordan, Egypt and Syria went to war with Israel and after six days of fighting they lost. Israel then eventually made peace with some of them. Each time we made peace with one of the countries from which we took it, we returned the land, or offered to: Egypt took back the Sinai but did not take Gaza, and Jordan did not take the West Bank. There were negotiations with Syria (between Barak and Assad Sr.) and if we had made peace we’d have given back the Golan but the negotiations failed and we are still in a state of war with Syria. The West Bank at that time was full of Palestinians who had fled in 1948 and lived in “refugee camps” which became towns (slums, mostly). Anarchy reigned, there were gangs, and people were afraid to send their kids to school from what I read. Then in 1993 Israel signed the Oslo Accords with the Palestinians, and the West Bank was divided into areas under Palestinian control (A and B) and an area under Israeli control (C), and a Palestinian government authority was established, the Palestinian Authority (PA) with a police. The PA police instituted law and order, and the PA began to build a civil infrastructure, mainly facilitated by Salam Fayyad, a very capable Finance Minister and then Prime Minister. But the PA was corrupt and Fayyad eventually got sick of that and quit. Meantime there was a militant Islamist faction among the Palestinians, Hamas. Israel had established some settlements on the West Bank (and also in Gaza), and after the Israeli PM was murdered and a right wing government came to power the settlements were increased and entrenched, so that today there are nearly half a million Jews living there in Area C. In 2005 PM Ariel Sharon decided to withdraw all Israelis from Gaza, dismantle the settlements, pull out the army, and leave it to be controlled by the Palestinians. He explicitly declared that this was in order to preclude any similar pullout on the West Bank. After the withdrawal there were elections, and people voted for Hamas as the majority party in what was supposed to be a unity government. For various reasons Hamas and the PA couldn’t come to agreement (Israel also had a contribution to that), and in 2007 Hamas seized total power in a coup, and have been ruling with an iron hand ever since, and using all their resources to attack Israel ever since. As a result Gaza is on the border of humanitarian disaster, with 50% unemployment. Hamas is also gaining power on the West Bank, as the PA weakens. Israel keeps tight watch on the borders, but every time the attacks subside, they are loosened. The past few years they have been more open than any time since Hamas took over, with goods flowing through (even dual purpose materials) and thousands of Gazans coming into Israel to work every day. The conception was that Hamas cared about the economy and the welfare of the people and wouldn’t attack. This proved on October 7th to be incorrect.

There is only one thing you miss that during nakba there was a truce for a month with a American meditation in this truce no can buy weapons but Israel buy weapons from USA during this truce

There’s a bigger war in the comments of this video then in Palestine rn 😂

I got a 5 on AP World. Without inspiring videos like yours, it wouldn't have happened!

20:46 templars? TEMPLARS? I did not see that coming

No offense Britain But you really fumbled over this one (And i wouldn’t blame you)

The first unbiased history gj

bruh you cant say this is not biased when the source is "the ethnic cleansing of palestine"

So, you basically animated Ilan Peppe’s pro Palestinian book

Please do the Spanish American wars of independence!

Last time I was this early, it was British

This conflict just makes me angry

Great video. I like the fact that you're unbiased and you tell it the way it happened without cherry picking.

I’m going to cook some popcorn over these comments

Amazing😊

I respect how much time you put into your vids. We need more ppl like u and oversimplified

This whole conflict is basically. "He hit me, so I hit him back" over and over and over. I REALLY hope we can live here like human beings and break the cycle.

Me lookin in the comments to see if anyone translated the Spanish: 👁️👁️

do a video about the Lebanon civil war

20:45 they mentioned Bosnia 🎉

Can you make video on Bangladeshi genocide of 1971 in future Also love your videos

Oversimplified but with a better upload schedule

2:06 Can you please provide the source to that? googled about Dayr Ayyub and that wasn't mentioned once

I feel nothing for people trying to steal land. I feel disgust for people laughing and cheering it on.

Wow these were really good videos very informative. The level of shock that I am in right now is unimaginable. They literally just went in the middle of the night and started kicking people out blowing up houses with people in them they didn't care about life. It makes you ashamed to be a human being

And about that Arab-Israeli war, Israel won ONLY because of foreign support, and the statement about arabs being outnumbered is also false.

Israels proposed territory is like 80% desert 20% fertile land

We’re there actual templars at the siege of jaffa? Since im curious

Yes, part 2💪🏼

I still don't understand why Palestinians are upset about.

Origins of Russia vs Ukraine next?

Awesome :D Breakfast will have something interesting to watch Thanks for the vid TICA (and Cam, animator) Funny start btw (have not watched the rest of it))

Speaking about how the UN were making up for the holocaust while ignoring how all the arab countries were practically saying they are going to clear out all the Jews from their lands, Jews might have gotten more land, but arabs both didn't need to leave that land and it was expected the Jewish population will rise significantly (because the arabs will ethnically cleanse them), tried to watch prior video, tried to watch this video, left both early because it is pretty blatantly favouring Palestinians by hiding facts.

You did an amazing job on this one

Great channel! Best of luck broo! ❤️

I’d personally love to see a semi-sequel semi-continuation semi-moreindepthlook of your German Revolution videos looking at the last year or two of the Weimar Republic. More specifically, the period from January 1933-August 1934 where the Weimar Republic still sort of existed and possibly could have been saved, everything after Hitler became chancellor in January 1933 to Summer of 1934 when the last remaining checks collapsed. There's sort of 5 distinct phases to it, the January-March period where everything was more or less the same it had been under prior degree governments(Hitler was chancellor, Hindenburg ruled by decree, same old), the March-July period where the Reichstag fire and Enabling act gutted what little protections existed and democracy ended (March was the communists and vocal extremists, by July even the moderate conservative parties or other right wing nationalist parties were banned), the August 33-January 34 period where the main players were all generally happy with the direction things were going(Von Papen, Hidenburg, Schleicher, and of course Hilter himself), the period from February 1934-June 1934 where Papen and Hindenburg realized things had gotten out of control and started trying to reign him in, and the final two months where the Weimar Republic went from being gutted to completely destroyed. Those final few months were utterly chaotic. It was discovered in May Hindenburg was dying. Von Papen's marburg speech intended to reign in Hitler in June failed and lead to him losing his job. The Night of the Long Knives in July killed most of the remaining dangerous opposition, including Kurt Schleicher one of the few remaining moderates with any influence, and most of Von Papen's staff including his right hand leaving him powerless. It also wiped out the SA, the threat of which had been the main thing the Moderate faction was using to weaken Hilter(talking about the violent street thugs causing trouble to the citizens and scaring the army into thinking they were losing their jobs), now suddenly the people viewed the NSDAP as protecting them from the street violence and the Army was suddenly swinging to their side. Then finally in August Hindenburg(the only person with any power outside of the party at this point and the only guy with enough credit to keep the army on their side) died, the positions of Chancellor and President were merged destroying any hope of ousting Hilter, and Von Papen was exiled to Austria under threat of death. Some say if Hindenburg had lived a little longer and stayed a little sharper, or if the Night of the Long Knives had failed and Röhm was able to cause significant internal issues in the NSDAP, or if Papen hadn't given Goeballs full control of Prussia's police force(thus gutting his own power base and giving the NSDAP full reign over the largest province) they MIGHT just have been able to claw back control. If you really wanted to you could extend it to August 1932-August 1934. (August 1st 1932 was the first date the NSDAP had the majority seats, that's a sort of power even if they were refused chancellor ship. Goring was also made Leader of the Reichstag as a compromise which was one of the highest positions in the government in August 1932), as long as the latter period isn't neglected. Oh and during the January 1933 onward period they actually changed the national flag to the old imperial tricolor one, it was only changed to the infamous red one after Hindenburg died

Great video

Thanks so much for filing in for oversimplified. This is also very educative.

Dude made a whole 25-min vid of him not being able to cope 🤣

Dude you can’t just use one book for your source that is so blatantly one sided. I’m not a Zionist, I’m anti Israel, but it’s not possible to get a realistic image of anything if you only read one book about it from one perspective. That’s just bad history

FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

I’m am late to comment but great work on this series and from now on I will do a better job at using your videos as an entry point like you said.

To the people saying it’s a biased video with only one source, it legit takes 1 second to look at the description and see here’s several sources.

Iian Pappé is a sloppy historian at best and his book is nothing more then politico-moral garbage. The book is largely accepted as dishonest.

Loving your videos! I'd love to see a video about The Troubles in Ireland or Cuban Revolution

I LOVE THE NEW ART STYLE!!

12:58- what is attributed to ben gurion- was actually said by ezra denin according to norman finklestein and other historians(Shows how sloppy illan pappe was). palestinians were not armed ? is that so ? how did they rebel against the brits in 1936-1939 rebellion killing 292 british forces and over 500 members of the hebrew community? again with "they were using only stones" ? kaukji forces and haj amin el husseini forces(including a component of bosnian mujahideen volunteers,many served in the muslim ss units) were armed by neighboring arab countries . why? you have an agenda. in fact the british forces were arming the arab nations surrounding israel while all the way leading to their departure from the land of israel- they have raided hebrew weapons caches(while helping to create modern arab armies and even having british personnel in the arab armies-see jhon baggot). in the previous video you depicted 1929 hebron and safed pogroms as "clashes" and talked about "palestinian casualties"(british police stopping the lynchers) and then you skipped 1936 jaffa pogroms and 1938 tiberias pogroms and banishment of hebron,gaza,silwan and pekiein communities. arabs have targeted hebrew civilian communities all through that time,including sniping the yemenite grapevine neighbourhood in tel aviv and raid of mamila before the haifa distillation plant lynching .you dont mention the arab leaders calls for killing and exterminating the hebrew population(especially the ones by the nazi ss officer husseini ,head of the arab higher committee,or by leaders of neighboring arab countries,not the pogroms against mizrahi communities before 1948 all across the muslim world),and the arab high committee have officially rejected the partition plan,so where were the arab people supporting the partition?. you dont mention ben gurion peaceful coexistence plans before 1929 hebron and safed pogroms,and you qoute illan pappe rather than benny morris.

I can’t imagine watching this two part series and still thinking Israel is in the right.

Moral: Never let the british or the un make borders

One of the best videos on the matter ... thank u for the hard work

We got Oversimplified 2 before GTA 6!

Thank you for such great work ! been watching all your videos lately, great work and good luck for the rest !

Part 2 and we're barely at 1949...

very informative and eye openning, kerep going!

I’m sure that this comment section will be very calm and peaceful

I Appreciate you. You earned this sub.

This 'Long Seminar' (starting 31 December 1947) mentioned at 8:40 seems to bear a chilling similarity to the the Wannsee Conference (20 January 1942) chaired by Rheinhard Heydrich to ensure the Final Solution to the Jewish Question, in that it seems to have been chaired by Ben Gurion to ensure the Final Solution to the Palestinian Question. If you were on the receiving end of either you may have found the difference between them largely academic. Both seem insanely inhumane!

after seeing this video it suprises me how many cilivians where killed instead of resisting arabs and thats just awful after all it looks like the jews are taking revenge on the arabs instead of the germans

Great Job! 👍 Thanks for putting this 2 part seris out! The short format/cartoons make it more accessible for those who dont want to watch live reports, or dont understand the conflict. Prior to October 7th many people, including myself knew very little about the situation in Palestine, and even less about the asymmetrical nature of the conflict. Its high time the truth about Israel and their genocidal ways was publicized!

Do we get part 3 or is this series done now?

So I was right. Israel is the villain of this story. I have avoided this but; "Free Palestine"

The book you used for this is not only noted for its poor scholarship but also for its really bad translation of quotes (many of which you used) and its taking many things from their contexts. For example many of the Ben Gurion quotes you used are from his journal and aren't known to be actual goals or plans, but rather the private rants of someone. It's honestly sad how complex and convoluted this conflict is that no body does an honest explanation of it.

History gives modern ideas and ideals a different light.... It can be either good or bad. Great video Dude 🎉

Yeah ok the first part was fine but this was incredibly biased, disappointing

It should be noted that Ben-Gurion despised the Irgun, he authorized the use of fire for the Haganah upon an Irgun ship.

This is no longer history contest. This is a Hamas propeganda. I was expecting more

This is the best thing to watch while playing hoi

Yeah I’m Korean and I have no bias to either side. I’m just a big history buff. TICA videos has always been biased to essentially the traditionally “adversary” side with Vietnam, Korea and completing glossing over any atrocities the other side did while empathizing on the atrocities that the western powers or western backed ally did without REAL context. This man just put the modern borders of Israel right after 1950s and glossing over multiple wars essentially started by the Arab nation to also ethnically cleanse the Jewish population. lol this isn’t oversimplified. This is a joke at this point. A parody that shouldn’t be taken seriously. I didn’t mind his somewhat bias take in his earlier videos, at times it was completely wrong or taken out of context but it was a refreshing. But this one is straight lazy, misinformation and click bait to get views. This dude needs to do a better job, yeah those flash split second captions don’t count. TICA knows what they’re doing. Entertaining propaganda parody videos at this point. Like almost TICA thinks it gives him clout to just go against western nations. Like a rebelling child. Unbiased videos would probably make this channel a success.

Don't mention that the Jews were given the swamp & malaria infested lands, and the large southern desert. Also, a large body of land was given to the Arabs namely Jordan ( also Palestinians , as Jordan never existed preciously).

So Ben Gurion is in hell?

Simplified for the Palestinian narrative that’s for sure

Just like the first part, its full of inaccuracies, misquotes, and everything possible to push his own bias on this supposedly "educational" video, at the obvious expense of quality and objectiveness. I have been studying this conflict for a while now, including watching some videos about it to compare perspectives from all sides and study and understand how videos push a narrative or a bias, and I usually don't mind. BUT what really infuriates me about this one particularly is that its aimed at people who are just beginning to understand this complex conflict (that usually takes actual effort to understanding it properly without being biased to any side) and preserving it as an educational "Oversimplified" style video, and the people watching this and learning about the conflict for the first time dont know that you are decieving them into a narrative. Your use of outdated philosophies and concepts, that for an unbiased person who knows more than surface level will immediately flag it as a biased video, will fly right over the heads of people newer to this conflict. You are allowed to push your narrative, but to disguise it as education is just evil.

Zion Israel≠biblical Israel ok ✝️🇵🇸🙏

UN 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Things I care about -: FREE PALESTINE
