I wish people didn't believe everything on the news/media. or didn't generalise the whole community of billion people because of one brutal act . Or atleast speak up about the inhuman treatment and humiliation we're getting simply because if our religion and nationality, it almost feels like human rights stop at our tracks, and yet "they're" the first ones to talk about freedom.

You are one of the few westerners who knows which countries are included in the Middle East, unlike the uneducated people that confuse the region with a continent or think it's synonymous with Western Asia. But I want to just note something for later videos on the region. I saw a comment on here that mentioned Cyprus being part of the Middle East and he is right. You responded with “geographically it is and not culturally. The Middle East’s geographical makeup is solely based on shared culture politics and History. It is a geopolitical region. The region is not continental based but it is a transcontinental region(not confined to a single continent). The Middle East is a British term and may have originated in the 1850's in the British India Office. The term became more widely known when American naval strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan used the term in 1902 to designate the area between Arabia and India. So in the 20th century, the Middle East gradually came to encompass both the Near East and the Middle East. Egypt, The Levant, the Balkans and Turkey were part of the Near East. The Near East was the term in more common use during the 19th and early 20th century. The term “Middle East”, if employed at all, only referred to the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, and Iran. But later, the “Middle East” gradually came to encompass both areas(excluding the Balkans). This change in definition and terminology usage began taking place during World War 2 when Egypt was the site of the Allies’ Middle East supply center. There is actually a very deep meaning to this geographical division that precedes the Eurocentric terminologies of the region. So we have to go all the way back to the actual concept of this geographical/geopolitical division. What we call the “Middle East” region was originally an Arab invention/concept created way before the western terms “Middle East/Near East” even existed. The original term for the Middle Eastern region was “Al Mashriq” (ٱلْمَشْرِق‎) which is Arabic for “Where the sun rises”, referring to the Eastern part of the Arab world(Egypt, Levant, Arabian Peninsula and Iraq.) In the 19th century the Western term “Middle East/Near East” was created and used to basically describe the same region that the Arab medieval historians and geographers created in the 14th century. The region was originally a division conducted by Medieval Arab Historians and Geographers such as Ibn Khaldun to geographically divide the Arab world based on the cultural, political and historical differences between the Western Berber Maghreb region(Libya, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco) and the Eastern Mashriq part of the Arab world(Egypt, Levant, Arabian Peninsula and Iraq). When the Europeans came along in the 19th century, they created the newer terms for the same region(Middle East/Near East/the Orient) and towards the 19th and 20th century they gradually added the non Arab countries(Cyprus, Turkey, Israel, and Iran). The word “Maghreb”, the opposite region to the Middle East, also called “Al Maghreb” or “Al Maghreb Al Araby”(المغرب العربي) is Arabic for “where the Sun sets”, and it refers to the western part of the Arab world, which are the North African countries beginning with Libya and ending with Morocco(sometimes Mauritania is included). “Al Mashriq” (ٱلْمَشْرِق‎) is modern day Middle East, while “Al Maghreb” is now what people call “North Africa” which does not really constitute the entirety of North Africa but just those Berber states. On the downside, said divisions were perfectly and coincidentally tailored for imperialistic powers. Conquer and divide, as they say, except this time around, the division was already there, so all that was left was the conquering part. The French and the British exploited this division. The Maghreb region was taken by the french and the Mashriq/Middle East/Near east region was taken by the British. They also took turns and went back and forth between regions(Egypt, Syria and Lebanon also experienced french imperialism). The funny thing is that the British continued using the original Arabic term for the “Maghreb” for a very long time until the newer generations just started calling it “North Africa”, which brings a lot of confusion today.

I admit that I was expecting a one-sided presentation of the Middle East situation; but I was pleasantly surprised with your even-handed description of the current situation and your comprehensive presentation of the events that led up to it. I am a history student and I have naively tried to figure out what I would have done to improve on your video. I could think of nothing except details which might have been detracting from your overall goal. As a Canadian, I probably would have been more critical of the US performance in Syria, but as I said, those details would not necessarily have improved your presentation and may have detracted from the final result. Good job. Excellent presentation.

A middle-eastern here. At every corner I was worried there's gonna be over simplification or stereotypical misscharactarization, but fortunately the video is great and on point. The only problematic statement was "Israel is a strong democracy", where in fact Israel is an Apartheid state according to most human rights organizations and many indexing sources. Also, the role of forces (Kurds, Iranians, etc.) in the defeat of ISIS has been often deemed more important than US's intervention, whereas in this video it seems like US came in and defeated ISIS. But overall, this is a great, unbiased, and mostly accurate video. Thanks

Israel controls the west bank and gaza strip in what is legally considered belligrent occupation. It has violated international law by allowing, encouraging and supprting civilian settlements in these areas (no longer true for gaza strip though) and maintaining seperated infrastructures and authorities for settlers and palestinians in those areas does make it look like apartheid. However keep in mind that within Israel proper (behind the green line) there is no ethnic seperation and Palestnian citizens of Israel are subject to the same laws as Jewish ones. They suffer discrimination in some ways, which is wrong, but that's not apartheid. It's hard to talk about Israel without either making it look worse rt better then it actually is (and many people do that on purpose because of bias and willful ignorance). Israel has issues regarding its treatment of Palestinians, some of which have got better in recent years (some worse though) and I hope they'll get better yet. But comparison to apartheid without further clarifications is very misleading.

I hope so too but I think it'll be very hard, all these governments and organisations appear to work purely on self interest sometimes not even considering their own people's interests for Israel and Palestine they'll need representation that aims for true peace for everyone, I believe only when the Israeli and Palestinian politicians ( as well as radicals like hamas) are ready to take into account the interest of the other as well as their own, and only when they place the other's innocent civilians as a priority will a true peace be achieved, be it through a one state solution, a semi independent state solution, a two state solution, a three state solution or even a one state solution with either or both west Bank and Gaza under Jordanian and Egyptian rule respectively, the oslut3 should matter little as long as it bridges and lessens the conflict to the maximum and ensure as much of an ever lasting peace as possible, despite everything I'm convinced that unlike Syria, Lebanon, Iraq or Yemen, Israel and Palestine can end their conflict on their own just between themselves and tell the rest of the world mind their business with lesser consequences on them both especially if they continue cooperating, however I believe the others especially Syria is much much more complicated the amount of regional and international powers involved make it harder to just end the conflict with an internal peace deal, not only the true conflict can easily count nearly 6 sides, some more allied between themselves than others, if we add regional sides it just keeps growing with Iran, Turkey and Israel among the top 20 international military powers and top 5 regional political powers , and then you have Russia, USA and to a lesser extent Europe and China with a real headache inducing graph network of allies and enemies " the simple : enemy of my enemy is my friend, doesn't seem to exactly work"

You could have mentioned that Turkey has been a member of Western Bloc, a NATO & Council of Europe member starting from 1950s despite of being ‘partially’ located in Asia Minor. Its historic capital Istanbul is the most populated city in the continental Europe. Turkish language is either co-official or minority language in several European countries. Turkish history is intertwined with Europe since 1300s. Turkey was formally acknowledged as an European state in 1800s.

That is an omission that leaves the audience without necessary information to understand the conflict. I don't white-washing either side is useful explaining a complex and controversial issue. Except for the 1948 war israel-Arab War the initiation of the violence to cause a war is discussed. The fact that several Arab neighboring nations attacked Israel on the same day Israel declared independence. Other than this I think this video is FANTASTIC!

Saw some people arguing under a comment that there is bias or a lack of clarity. I also understand this was explained without great depth and broad brush strokes. Great video as an introduction, exactly what I was looking for as someone who knew very little. It gives me topics I can grasp onto and investigate further. Thank you.

Aaaaaallll us Arabs are considered 'minorities' ... I'm confused ..... how, who decides who is considered a minority? population number? we don't fall short on the list..... this part has been confusing me for a while now, I would really appreciate someone explaining it to me, please other than that tiny bit, the video is great, thank you

this is a good unbiased explanation,but u forget to mention why hezbollah was created in the first place,when the PLO was expelled from jordan for trying to overthrow the monarchy (events of black september)the PLO(palestine liberation organization)occupied south lebanon and started attacking isreal,so isreal invaded and occupied south lebanon for 18 years to drive out the PLO ,hezbollah was created to expell the isreali occupation of south lebanon and was backed and trained by the iranian revolutionary guard

The conflict in the Middle East is super hard for anyone to talk about because it basically thorn bush of geopolitical conflicts it isn’t just one conflict it’s several interconnected conflicts and it’s also connected to religion and the freedom of expression and speech to the point where it’s basically impossible to talk about without getting jumbled up in opposing beliefs

Just an important correction, there was never a Palestinian state, the people living in the mandate territory called Palestine were both Jews and Muslims. It is true that the last remaining Jews that were not murdered in the Nazzi camps immigrated to Israel along with a large amount of Jewish minorities who were expelled from Muslim countries often with non of their belongings. The Muslims living in the mandate Palestine were a mixture of tribes and under the mufti of Jerusalem who wrote to Hitler during WWII and suggested to help with the final solution, chose to reject the UN proclamation of 1947. War broke out and the tiny Jewish state won... This is the beginning of modern day Israel (Not of the 3000 year old connection Israel has to the region).
