[@thehonesttruth415]

to those blaming britian, it seems you didnt watch the video, UN was the one who split the land and the palestinians rejected and declared war and lost. what the palestinians shouldve done is, accepted the UN partition and call UN peace keeping forces to protect the borders, instead of declaring war.

[@AsifTown]

It’s this what is also happening to Bangladesh and India?

[@hannes9488]

​@@thehonesttruth415 You could as easily say jewish immigrants should've simply stayed away from palestine, and that would be a very unfair reduction of a quite complex historical situation in the same way what you said. The partition was quite controversial, and arguably split the land unfairly (a lot of muslim people now suddenly lived in a jewish state) Also why should the UN at that time, which had no representation for any group present in palestine and which was (and still is) completely undemocratic, be recognised as the deciding authority here? Palestinians had no seat at the table, how could they even "accept" the resolution? All muslim member states voted against the partition as put forward by the UNSCOP by the way, shouldnt that have been reason enough to question its peace-bringing power? Also there was no declaration of war by palestinians, it was a civil war at first, the other arab nations who declared war are not palestinians. Also the conflict didnt start at this resolution, the english are to a high degree responsible for what happened before.

Unfortunately, this is what happened to my great grandpa. A home which we had owned for 6 whole generations was destroyed to make way for Jewish roads and settler movements without our knowledge. For hundreds of years, me and my family tree (dads side) had owned this land, and once it was flourishing with livestock, a market place, plants and trees for any fruit/veggie you could think of, a good university nearby, a mosque, a comfortably sized home, etc. Until Israeli settlers, dare I say unrightfully stole the land we’d been making for so long and claimed it as theirs. We now own 1/5th of the plants we used to and the other livestock, market place and house are now occupied by Israeli settlers completely not under our control. I now live in America but my grandparents unfortunately couldn’t afford to go to America so they illegally snuck outside the refugee camp we’d been out into and into Jordan. They were deported to Kuwait and that’s where my parents were born. My grandparents didn’t have enough money to go to America or stay in Kuwait so they moved back to a small, shady apartment in Jordan where they live now. It could’ve all been so different though. Better even.

British have a bad history dividing their colonies and leaving conflicts behind.

[@colinthomson5358]

There were many British people in positions of influence who were on the Arab side, and many who were on the Jewish side. Loads of British soldiers were killed by Stern Gang and Irgun terrorists and eventually the UK told America and the UN "If we are not allowed to protect each side equally and limit Jewish immigration (which was a major reason for Arab tensions being so high) then we give up. We are leaving" The Mandate was unworkable and many UK politicians wanted to avoid the responsibility in the first place. I mean what did Britain get out of it? A few hundred dead soldiers? The same was true for America - many Americans didn't want to get involved. When the British left and as the UN was debating what to do a massacre of a Palestinian village, which led to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee their land which was then captured by Israelis, forced the issue. The facts on the ground were changed. I'm not saying the UK can't be criticized for certain actions in Palestine but to blame the ethnic conflict on the UK is insane. I wonder what Palestinians would say, the actions of Britain 70 years ago or the actions of Israel for the past 70 years? And Israelis would probably say the same.

[@marca.8081]

Why did you not mention that the Arabs, the Mameluks, and the Ottomans colonized Palestine before the British did? Palestine was taken by the Arabs in the 7th century during their imperialist and colonialist invasions of jihad and fatah, conquest and subjugation of non-Muslim populations.

[@RS2020-tb6hf]

No mention of how Israel was the first to attack in the 6 day war (1967). No mention Egypt's willingness to peacefully negotiate. As the UN Secretary of State Dean Rusk said: “They attacked on a Monday, knowing that on Wednesday the Egyptian vice-president would arrive in Washington to talk about reopening the Strait of Tiran.” Yes Egypt asked the UN troops to leave, and moved in military to take their place, but there is no mention in this video that Israel always had military massed near the border. All we hear is "Egypt pulled out U.N. troops and blocked the Strait of Tiran, so Israel had no choice but to bomb Egypt." It's interesting the excuses that the aggressor can make to defends its attacks.

[@ubcphysicsyangbo]

This is also why, no matter how many people call for "free Tibet", or "land back" here in the West,, it would never happen as the activists intended - all these settlements over the years are now fully entranced in the areas of the West Bank, just as similar as the ethnic Han Chinese settling in Tibet since the 1960's, or the hundreds of years that European settlers have in the Americas. The only realistic solution (for better or for worse), is for us to all learn how to peacefully co-exist with one another, based on mutual understanding and mutual respect. There's not much we can do with the past, but I doubt trying to re-segregate ourselves for the future would be a good idea.

Going back to 1948 isn't far enough. You should go back to 1917, when the Ottomans ruled here, or 1880s, when the first modern settlers, both Jewish and Arabs, started migrating. Or even back to 900 BCE, when the kingdoms of Judah and Israel were founded.

[@yonatanrotbach1722]

This video also skims on a lot of details. Like how Jews were expelled out of the West Bank by the Jordanians. Or how Yasser Arafat was not just a "Palestinian leader" but the leader of a Terrorist organization known as the PLO.

[@HoRiGa94]

I think the video is fair, yes, it skipped over how problematic Arafat was (who is certainly in the club of people who never should have gotten the Nobel peace price) but it also skipped over Israel overreacting extremly to rocket attacks by the Hamas resulting in extremly high losses of civilian lifes in Gaza. Both sides play dirty here and this is just the first video which basically just explains the map and skips over most other things which aren't relevant to understanding the map - you don't need to know Arafat to understand the map nor do you need to know about many other things.

At 6:03 he said Palestinians can drive on almost all of the roads in the West Bank, which is incorrect, Palestinians that drive on Israeli made roads get stopped and arrested, even though it’s in there lands, some villages and cities are surrounded by settlements and it looks like a ghetto, because they are blocked from the rest of the cities and people. He also talks about checkpoints as a minor annoyance, which is incorrect, trips that should take 20 minutes end up being around three hours or more!. Hey paints this people who live there as good and nice people, I’m sure some are, but a big majority go live there to support taking the land and kicking out of Palestinian, some of them literally take houses in the middle of cities, someway they dedicated their life to be an annoyance for Palestinians, and that is horrible.

[@ofeknahon7579]

a lot of things you said are actually incorrect and i will like to see your source of information. first of all if a palestinian drive on an israeli made road he will not be arrested if he didnt cross the border to israel illegally or committed any crime. you are welcome to show a case where an Israeli law enforcer arrested Palestinians randomly without any reason. as for the checkpoints, you should not forget why they exist in the first place. they were created as a result of the intifadas and actually serve their purposes well as they are making it easier for the Israeli law enforcers to stop a terrorist attacks before they are happening. and btw these checkpoints are not taking hours as you said, and usually going through a checkpoint is like going through an airport check when going to another country.

So, -Israel has a legal claim to the territory in question, which was recognized by the international community on several occasions. -The Fourth Geneva Convention applies only to situations of belligerent occupation, and Israel’s presence in the West Bank is not an occupation because it is based on a legal claim to the territory. -The Fourth Geneva Convention applies only to forcible transfers of populations, and Israeli settlers have moved to the West Bank voluntarily. -The Fourth Geneva Convention applies only to transfers of populations into or out of occupied territory, and Israeli settlers are moving within the same territory.

Before is irrelevant. Powerful nations conquer weak ones all though history. The land belongs to the strongest. What they should have done is traded independence for Israeli citizenship. Living conditions would have been better for everyone.

[@neeneko]

Simply taking Israeli citizenship might not have given them a very good deal either. Look at how much good 'integration' did for the native americans in the US, every bit of land that had value was taken and given (either through direct government action, or actions only well financed and connected private institutions can take) to americans of european decent. Same basic thing was happening there, even in the original Oslo accords. The early two state solution saw the bulk of the profitable land and critical infrastructure going to jewish group. So if arabs did simply integrate, they would be doing so from a position of poverty and lock out of critical resources, relegated to second class citizen status.

[@dothedeed]

neeneko Exactly why they have no other rational choice. Have you seen native peoples living conditions in countries like the US and Canada. It would have been better to give up the reservation lands and integrate. Life is hard - there is no shame in surrendering against impossible odds.

It was not called the 'Balfour Agreement', it was the 'Balfour Declaration'. It was never agreed with the people who actually lived in Palestine and it was only an 'agreement' in the sense that it was intended to ease the path for another agreement (from the US and Swiss banks) to approve a massive war loan to the British government while the outcome of WWI was still in the balance. The British banker (Lord Rothschild) was a prominent figure in the Zionist Federation and thought to be influential with his US and Swiss counterparts and the Balfour Declaration was presented to him without any consultation with the inhabitants of Palestine who were still Ottoman subjects. Also; the British had already promised the Arabs an independent Arab nation (to include Palestine) as a reward for mounting a rebellion again the Ottoman Empire which was fighting alongside Germany (look up the McMahon Hussein correspondence if you want to research it). History is important here so don't use misleading and inappropriate terms like 'agreement' when you really mean 'a unilateral imposition'.

@@exiled_londoner I'm Taiwanese and I'm familiar with people presenting "declarations" as hard evidence regarding sovereignty. In my opinion, the only legal method of transferring the sovereignty of land is through an official treaty, and I do not believe that such a treaty was created prior to the establishment of the State of Israel. Alternatively, another method of acquiring sovereignty over a given territory is through military conquest. This is the "Might is Right" mentality and I oppose it.
