Golda called President Nixon two days into the war. She told him if the US didn’t help, Israel would cease to exist. He told her that, as a child, his mom would read Bible stories and one night he remembered her pausing and she told him, “Richard, if you ever have a chance to save the Jewish people, promise me you will do so.” Nixon then said, “Golda, for the first time, I know why I became the President of the United States of America.”
Nice story..but at that time Israel had nuclear weapons.. Usa aid came after Israel step into Africa 100 km from Cairo.. But truly i believe in that story ❤ God bless 🙏🙏🙏 Israel
Brave, brave, brave ancient people of Israel, I bow before you! The Free World stands with you against terrorism! Stay strong and never give up! The savages will be defeated!
in my opinion there is no right or wrong side, only interest and power, look at some conflict in your country you will 100% finde simular conflict to this one in history of your country every country was raised on mass killing both civilians and military so every country is raised on crimes, only what matter is interest and how strong you are, so this Israely vs Arab conflict is the same as every conflict over land, across the whole world.
No right or wrong. The strongest and smartest surviving. I know for a fact, Egypt been always there since the inception of history. So the question is, who’s surviving and been surviving?
I love the picture of Golda sitting back at her chair in private, smoking a cigarrete and looking out the window. I wish that my pressident was this worried about his citizens as in Israel, greetings from Argentina !!!!
I remember this war as a Jr high school student. The United States supplied Israel weapons and went on nuclear alert. General Ariel Sharon attacked across the Suez canal cutting of Egyptians. Soviets arranged cease fire to prevent Egyptians destruction. This war changed things, the world was never the same.
Egypt’s destruction? Lol 😂 If you think israel can get to Cairo and control it you are dreaming. They couldn’t control suez, a city 75% of its population evacuated little alone take control of one of the largest cities on the planet. If Israel sets foot into Cairo that would have been the end of Israel in the same way nazi Germany ended when they went into Moscow. And the Israeli generals know that very well which is why they pleaded the Americans and Soviets for a ceasefire 5 times. You can’t fight a country 10x your population in its own capital city and expect to be Victorious.
I read it like this : ( best regards the only apartheid state in the world today from croatia) that’s weird.. im sorry but yes..you’re supporting apartheid ! Have a good day
Ahmad T Everyone in Israel have equal rights, if you don’t believe me, come visit and see for yourself. I probably can’t do the same in Arab states because a Jew can’t walk free without being killed. Talking about apartheid...
@@ahmadt2283 Anyone supporting islam is also supporting apartheid which is in the core of Islam and is the most refined form of apartheid. The quornic laws concerning Dhimmis أهل الذمة can be a school for the most vile forms of apartheid. It is said that the best defence is attack and the best way muslims have for diverting people's attention away from Islamic apartheid is smearing it on Israel. Have good day.
Who saved Israel in that dark time? It wasn't the politicians. It wasn't the generals. It sure as hell wasn't the Americans, who actualy contributed to the crisis. It was G-d and the Israeli people that saved Israel. We stood and fought and with G-ds help we prevaled. It breaks my heart to see we keep forgeting that hard lesson.
2560 Israeli casualties, 15000 Egyptian casualties and 4000 Syrian. Despite a rough start, it is a historical fact that Israel won the war. Never again did an Arab conventional army ever mess with Israel again in an all-out war.
You need to read history again man. The Egyptians won the war and took the land back from Israel after teaching Israel a lesson not to think about attacking Egypt again. Israel is crying over the 1973 war until today. Wake up
@@ahmedh5366Egypt didn't get the land until 1979 through a peace treaty between begin and sadaat. Egypt lost and they needed a treaty to reclaim the land. It's embarrassing how Arabs attack Israel in masses and still loose wars. Don't you feel ashamed that you're more in number yet get conquered by a few jews all the time ?
Newly released information shows that the Israeli PM and Cabinet knew that the war was coming, but decided not to act first because of potential foreign condemnation.
thank you for your effort to make such episode but let me tell you something from my readings about this, israel didn't ever think Egyptians would fight, even the Egyptian crowd them selves didn't believe it. Ashraf Marwan aka the angel was mainly an Egyptian agent and was also a part of the strategic decite of the Egyptian side.
Israel did not almost fall. Arabs made a little progress, and remember whole Sinai belonged to Israel back then. Arabs were not close to borders of Israel today. Anyway, they were stopped and defeated from the 5th day until the end of the war.
@Me I can see that you don't know anything at all about the 1973 war.On Oct.14,1973,the IDF destroyed 255 Egyptian tanks for loss of 5 of their own.Gen.Mamoum,commander of the 2d Egyptian Army was so "traumatized" by the experience,he had a heart attack.
You can thank Kissinger for containing the struggle and preventing a nuclear war. That man brought more peace to this world than a thousand self righteous liberals.
So you attacked a tiny Jewish nation on their most sacred day ( the biggest dick move ever). You lost seven times more soldiers than the Israelis did. Lost significantly more artillery and armory, You didn't gain any new territory. Your president was so terrified of another war with Israel that he begged Israel to sign a peace agreement but you still considered this a victory just because it wasn't as a humiliating total loss like your war in 1967. You truly are a pathetic nation.
soldier0fsalvation You’re spinning this as a victory even though it was a shameful defeat. The only reason we took Sinai was to give it back for peace.
Roee Musai israel never give back land, If you say the truth, then why did Israel refused to give back the land for peace when Nasser and sadat asked for that after 1967 ? The truth is that you realized that to face Egypt you will need to pay a huge price every time and you will need a huge US military aid so you accepted giving back land to end the story
Egyptians haven't got a clue about that war. They crossed the Canal and dug themselves into the sand along 15 km wide ribbon, under the protection of their antiaircraft umbrella. Their armour was destroyed when they left that umbrella and moved towards Israel. Israel entered Egyptian territory and not the other way around. The Egyptian 3rd Army was encircled and was saved by Kissinger, who also became the architect of the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. Syria lost more territory. The Russians supplied Egypt. The US supplied Israel. The nuclear weaponry of Israel was ready to hit both Syria and Egypt.
@Me The Egyptian objectives were to wipe Israel out of existence or at least refuse to ever acknowledge it's right to exist. They officially failed at both at Camp David when they signed a peace treaty with a different Israeli prime minister 5 years later. They swallowed their pride accepting that as the only way to get Sinai back. Otherwise, Israel would still possess it even today.
@Me You signed a peace treaty to get the Sinai back. This was our condition and you said yes. We were in your territory. You were not in ours. Difficult to accept that reality?
@@the3rdmaster311 Nope.The pre-1967 border with Egypt was restored in return for the 1979 peace atreaty.Israel returned most of the Golan Heights and all of the west bank.
Robert: On Oct.6,1973,the Bar Lev Line was weakly held by 453 men facing an initial assault wave of 10,000 men.Those are odds of 22:1.No army anywhere could have held off an invasion against such odds.
Yes, that's when we say it is - "That was the scene in Israel in the fall of 1973, when the Yom Kippur war broke out..." (00:16) 1970 was the War of Attrition - "the lesser known War of Attrition during 1969 and 1970." (00:51)
The Egyptian people were so happy with their "victory" in getting Sinai back through a peace treaty recognizing and making peace with Israel that they assassinated their leader Sadat hahaha. The war was in '73, Egypt didn't get Sinai until '78 and they did not hold it militarily. Israel got what they wanted, they traded a piece of land they never wanted to keep for Egypt no longer being a threat. Now Israel have absolutely nothing to worry from Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon. None of them want to mess with Israel.
@Nir Hakimian wow you really suck at arabic you are kind of insulting your self idiot 😂😂😂 any way it looks like the war memories still hurts you so i guess thats good
@@albericrex9005 Write something intelligent or STFU.On Oct 6-7,1973,10,000 Egyptian assault units over ran 453 IDF men in 16 scattered strongholds.Those are odds of 22:1.
Thank god the Egyptians & Isrealis finally made peace. Yes ultimately the isrealis survived like they have done so many times before but the Egyptians proved they were not pushovers to be ignored, they used ingenuity and skill in breaching the sand dunes at the suez. I remember the treaty signed in 1979. Now Egypt & Isreal have been much more secured since.
@@محمدسليم-ص8ع5ر You did not defeat Israel, Israel is still the victor in Yom Kippur War. Egyptians attacking Israel during the Jewish holiest day is a cowardly attack. In the end, the Egyptians just defeated the sand, not the war. Israel is the victor.
Im Egyptian and im my opinion your are a western pig who encourage stealing others land, and I'm proud that my country could kick thier asses and get Sinai back, and BTW the Egyptian military is much much stronger than ever Egypt is ranked 12th powerful military in the world while Israel is 16th. 🙄

mahmoud mohmed I only wish the Egyptian people well and hope they prosper. That said, making sure your government doesn’t ever get taken over by an Islamist like Morsi will be the key
@@mahmoudmohmed4787 Finally an Egyptian with a reasonable understanding of what happened in that war.It is undeniable that Egypt did well in the first 2 days of the war.Later Egyptian offensives did not turn out so well-to put it mildly.However,Egypt fought well defensively,especially at the so-called "Chinese Farm" , throughout the war.And that has to be acknowledged.
Btw, can you do a video on who serves in Israel’s army? Jews, Druze,some Muslims and Haredim starting to serve. Explain the exemption for yeshiva students and religious women, Muslims. Explain National service, Lone Soldiers, and the various options in service. I think it would be interesting to highlight how the army interconnects such a small, family oriented country (a la Start-Up Nation style). You could also discuss the various arms embargoes on Israel in the early years and why we’ve had to develop the best weapons in the world. Rather than appearing war-hungry, Israel is ensuring its survival. Talk about the tech developments that have begun in the military and moved into general tech advancements for the world (PillCam, etc) Go get ‘em! You guys are great!!!
Me No, the US supported Israel because the soviets were on the Arabian side and the US needed an ally democracy in the Middle East. Also, most Jews in the US are not pro Israel, and the fact that you think they were the reason for US support, and the fact that you seem to hate Jews in general points out the racism and barbarism the flows through your blood
Me What bribes? You can’t back anything you say with facts, so you just continue to make racist, antiemetic assumptions about Jews and thus avoiding the use of real facts and knowledge
El 6 de octubre de 1973, los paises árabes en su conjunto, por el norte, por el sur y oeste, a la misma hora decidieron invadir Israel, todos simultáneamente penetraron sus fronteras, sabiendo q Israel se encontraba en un día sagrado, orando en sus iglesias, (Sinagogas), nadie se esperaba el cobarde ataque. Pero Dios es grande y vino en auxilio de su pueblo.
@@fredlandry6170 for egypt the war was not to conquer Israel but rather to return what was ours sina we got what we wanted from the war without us intervention Israel would have been doomed
@@seifgaming2015 Is that really what they are teaching you in Egypt? That is so sad. Egypt didn't conquer Sinai during the war. Israel gave it to Egypt as part of the peace agreement 6 years later. You lost seven times more soldiers than Israel did and you didn't gain anything except for pride over the fact that it wasn't as a humiliating loss as your humiliating loss in the 6th-day war and the only reason for that is because you attacked Israel on their most holy day which might be the biggest dick move in human history.
@@liordiamond7641 fun fact egypt attacked on Ramadan the month where your not supposed to eat or drink until sunset and they attacked early afternoon For the Sinai bit we had most of hit conquered Not fully when America threatens we backed out of it and thus were given in it back in the camp David peace treaty
modern smooth bore have much more firepower than the 88 the tiger used. While the optics and aiming of this weapon were far superior to the t34, modern tanks especially the gob smacker the israelis used was not available during ww2 though they did have a smaller gob smacker.
As a student in israel there is a funny way to remember who was the prime minister in the yom kippur war The only war we almost lost happened when the prime minister was a women. Golda meir is the only female prime minister in the history of Israel.

They are very strong but very immoral , all repsect to israelis and jews but their goverment, politics and army is very inhuman and should be charged with thousands of war crimes against Arabs
@Shafi kuttan Only what u think,on the ground, the Egyptian military is doing all what they want with or without Israeli approval. What u r saying is only for political maneuvers when needed Real Israeli control was there ONLY when Yamit was there
Just recently i listened to a podcast about this war, and what was most interesting to me, was how in Egypt it's taught as an Egyptian victory and all that. Apparently Anwar Sadat needed it so much, he wasn't concerned with history too much...Not the first one and definitely not the last.
@@wernerfoerster3666 Pretty much, only the Soviets really did take on a much larger percentage of the axis powers in the European theater, so you can say there is a bigger slice of truth there...
@@iDarkBladei2 Except WWII was not the war of the European theater. Plus its always under-credited the help of the US in that particular theater in helping defeat the Germans
@@wernerfoerster3666 I actually thought it was always over credited, but i guess it depends on the people you're asking. Anyhow, there's no doubt that without the US, the UK'S empire at the time and so on, it would have been much harder and even impossible to defeat the axis. What I'm saying is that the people of, what then was, the USSR, have suffered a much greater loss because of the sacrifice they had to make (and because of Stalin, who shot them in the foot a couple million times). What I'm saying is that, if you look at the numbers, and try to realise that reality, you can begin to understand why they teach it that way. Most of the wight was on them. Unfortunately, it took the American people a long time to get to the right decision, and join in in the fight for Europe not only financially, but militarily.
Well we did win a victory is when you achieve your goal and our goal was to take our land back through a limited war Why a limited war ? Because we only had 200 aircrafts to fight with and no way of supplying our troops without outside weapons which could be cut off any second while Israel had a 24/7 weapons shipment from USA
ahmad vlogs The whole reason of the war was to create a second holocaust. Also, what you don’t understand is that in the end of the war you and the other Arab nations lost. The only reason Israel gave Sinai back was because we were tired of this routine: being attacked, fighting, winning, repeat. Israel wanted to develop while you just wanted war and blood.
His speed is fine for Canadian ears. I guess it just depends on where you're from. Either way you can speed up or slow down video... as long as you aren't casting it
Eh, I'd say Israel was much more in danger of falling in the 1947 war. In Yom Kippur, the Israelis kicked the Egyptians out of Gaza and even invaded mainland Egypt thru the Suez Canal. They could have kept going and conquered the whole of Egypt if it wasnt for the UN.
@Me lol don't fool yourself Israel was 100km away from Cairo at the end of the war it's just that we have the human decency to value peace over war and our own pride unlike Arabs, where do you get this information that Egypt won? are you Egyptian by any chance?
@Me I hope you won't say that the almight of the Egyptian army made it disappear and therefore doesn't exist, for all I know is if the peace treaty didn't exist we'd have the entire Sinai fortified around the Suez canal.
Basically to see the whole story history yom kippur war Egypt got the land back Sinai . And plus Egypt Military troopers was about to go in Israel in the city but at that point President of Israel want to have peace . So Egypt got Sinai and we didn't go in Israel.
@@mohamedelsaid6183 Israel withdrew from the sinai for better terms with egypt which egypt was the first arab country to recognize Israel, so it worked.

@@allosesmoii That's not even close to my point, the fact of you thinking that is complete nonsense and idiotic on your part. My point is that Israel gave up some land for better terms with egypt and to stop the war.

No, Israel force Egypt to the negotiation table and force them to sign on the dotted paper that they have no choice to recognizes Israel as a country in order to get all their land that the Israeli took from them on the battlefield.
jason4275 Israelis suffered 10,000 casualties which was an enormous loss in relation to their small population. They lost 107 aircraft and over 400 tanks, again enormous losses for the relatively small Israeli forces .
jason4275 Losers do not get to keep the land, period. Look at what happened to Syria till now. Egypt done the right thing in peace Negotiations based on U.N. Resolution 242. They operated fair and square war, won and got the entire lost land. Imagine if Israel actually won the war, would it be the same? The answer is no. So when you try to twist facts around, is not good for you and the your future generations. But yet again, that’s how this culture think. Never admit to lose but reality is different till this day.
@@cryptooasis4071 Israel had 500,000 troops vs 1,00,000 enemies and won the yom Kippor war Israel won thats a historical fact, Israel killed more men and destroy more aircraft and vehicles and took the Sinai Peninsula Egypt was in panic because Israel could have bombed their capital from a few miles away or even invade Egypt.

The Soviet missiles only protected 13 miles into Sinai. Israel could have just ignored the crossing, pulled all forces back 14 miles and not wasted planes and tanks. No way Egypt could have driven all the way into Israel.
@@cgaccount3669 The Israelis learned decades earlier that on paper means nothing with the Arab armies in 1948 and 1956. Israeli intelligence was aware of how limited the missile protection was. The Egyptians were absolutely crushed when they ventured beyond the 13-mile missile protection and the Israelis lost lives unnecessarily as well as equipment trying to stop a 13-mile incursion that was meaningless. The people of Israel wanted answers after this war to questions like why was their not better preparation. And a great question would be why the IDF did not adapt plans when the missiles were installed and their limitations understood.IDF enjoyed overwhelming air superiority beyond the 13 miles so they should have reasoned that the Egyptians never planned to venture farther than that. The forces sent to Sinai the first couple of days should have been sent to Golan Heights where the Syrians were dangerously close. Many tank crew lives were sacrificed there because of army tank non-reservists that could have been rushed to help, but were not and sent to Sinai instead.
