#2 - Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem, pt. 2

The Arabs and the Zionists in Palestine struggle to get their bearings in a ruined world. The smell of gunsmoke still lays thick over the landscape, and the ink is still wet on the Balfour Declaration and the several new international agreements. The First World War is over, and people around the world are demanding their independence in the new world order. But building a national identity takes more than just drawing lines on a map or running a rag up a flagpole.

Brother, you are a great story teller, a top class researcher, a thoughtful voice in an arena of difficult, heavy topics. Absolutely compelling. Plus you always choose intriguing music to close out the show. Top notch! ❤🎉

This and its always the same they refuse to assimilate and exploit the local population

Yeah really. Me too. I think that it's a pretty common human response. Nobody thinks of himself as a bad guy. It takes a lot of inner reflection to discover those areas in my own personality and i can be pretty certain that i missed the most glaring and important idiosyncracies. That's where a wife comes in handy. She is so much better at noticing my deficiencies than i am. 😂🤣❤️

"Burdened by the weight of it not gnawed at by its lack" is one of the most profound things I think I've ever heard.

This video must've been made before the modern political climate.

[@alexander.lmaclellan6694]

I think in the last episode he referenced "If you're watching this in 2015 or whenever..." So I think it was made around then.

[@deepatlantic2222]

@@jacktheripper5661 He repeats himself by saying the same things multiple times in different ways and breaks off on long tangents disrupting the story. It is very frustrating.
