Incomplete video. Just one mention of Qatar at the end. The current Hamas leadership is worth over 10 billion and staying in palaces and mansions in Qatar. Qatar's minion Al Jazeera vomits 24/7 about so called 'Genocide' while they hardly mention why it is happened after so many years of uneasy peace. No mention of 1400 innocent people butchered but shows how Israeli bombs 'Kids'. Also you didn't mention about fighters it has/had, weapon they posses, alleged support from Egypt's army. Also Funding of Hamas is very vague. reports indicate they collect over 1 billion/year from the Gaza strip itself

Chris this is excellent. Often in todays conflicts people do not go far back enough to understand the context and prelude to todays events. You have in a single video, provided a succinct summary of the previous Israeli-Palestine conflicts and reasons. It is important for people to understand conflicts don’t happen in a vacuum or without reason so I’m really glad you’re doing the work others in cable media or other outlets often aren’t.

[@omer_peleg]

Important video, it covers a lot of ground on one facet of the history of the conflict. Some small inaccuracies/random details that popped up as I watched that I thought might be worth calling out: 1) At 1:25 - video states Egypt occupied Gaza at 1959, though in practice - it held it under military occupation more or less throughout since the 1949 armistice agreement (with a short break when Israel captured the territory, from Egypt, during the Sinai war at 1956 until it withdrew on 1957). What happened in 1959 is that Egypt officially annexed the territory as part of the establishment of the UAR. 2) At 5:35 - you mentioned the charter of Hamas called to eradicate Israel and liberate Palestine. That's obviously correct, but that's the part that is in line with the historical PLO position (that was indeed changing at the time). What sets the 1988 Hamas Charter apart is the call for the creation of a Sharia state (with some hinting towards a global State of Islam) and that it outlines the struggle as a struggle against Jews, rather than just Israeli/Zionist Jews (though it does blame Zionists for alcoholism, drug abuse and all sorts of other fun stuff). 3) In the photo on 7:55 - worth mentioning Khaled Mashal is also present in it, he might be an even more prominent member of Hamas. 4) At 15:25 - It somehow became a common claim that Fatah candidates received more votes and lost the election because of the system, but that's not correct. While the district system did benefit Hamas (and allowed it a majority of representatives with only a plurality of the vote) - Hamas candidates received 44.5% of the vote, while Fatah only received 41.5%. 5) At 17:42 - while the change in the charter allows for creating a state in the 1967 borders (with full "right of return" of Palestinians into Israel, BTW), it does so only as a stepping stone and recommits to never recognizing Israel and to maintaining the claim for a Palestinian country "from the river to the sea" even after it is created. That was more about possible reconciliation with the Fatah than mellowing up and progressing towards reconciliation with Israel.

[@jackblack7827]

Hamas issued a new charter in 2017. It identifies their enemy as the Zionists and states their fight is not against Jews.

[@EverExceedMindanao]

You also failed to mention Israel's far right's support of Hamas and used the organizations in its divide and rule tactic.

[@omer_peleg]

​@@EverExceedMindanao Srsy? I mean, never mind if it was just some random generic talking point, but you supposedly just finished watching a video that specifically did address this exact topic... Either way, I'll bite - I assume you think Israel's far right are all bad and only want to hurt Palestinians, and you also seem to assume that they wanted to keep Hamas around to hurt the Palestinian cause (honestly, there might be some truth to that). If that's all true - then under these assumptions - it would mean that having Hamas around is bad for the Palestinians. So - can I assume that you're supportive of Israel's current operation for dismantling Hamas now?

[@avitali4302]

comprehensive corrections + commentary. thank you!

[@Fulcrox]

@@omer_peleg Israel far right is indeed evil, and i have to point it, because Netanyahu and his cronies destroyed decades of political work, and burned all the bridges to dialogue between the Israeli state and any Palestinian authority. Ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem (done with forcefully and illegal evictions that ignore ownership of non Jewish citizens), extension of West Bank and Golan heights settlements, including the weaponization of them. The attacks on Mosques in Ramadan, and of course bringing back Israel role as a regional agressor just like during the crisis in the suez channel and just like Iran.

[@ronishwartz]

Great video ! However, you forgot to mention a VERY meaningful event ( a milestone ) in the history of militant-Hamas and that is the encounter with Hizballah in Lebanon, in 1992, when Shimon Peres deported 415 Hamas activists to Lebanon. This incident resulted in strong ties between Hamas and Hizballah

[@CoffeeAndPaul]

Those ties don't matter much today, though. Hezbollah & in particular Nasrallah who leads Hezbollah don't ally with Hamas.

[@jedimmj11]

He (I'm sure inadvertently) mislead about the new charter. It in no way recognises Israel. All it does is "settle" for a two phased takeover of the land, first with a state in the West Bank and Gaza, followed by a takeover of the rest of the land. This is in contrast to the previous stance of taking all the land at once.

[@DirtyGuerrilla]

@@jedimmj11sounds good to me. If somebody forcibly took my land, I’m not going to let them keep half when I forcibly take it back

[@NoBSMusicReviews]

Good, then you will support the return of the land throughout. The aaron mushroom world. The Jews were kicked out of. More Jews were kicked out of the Arab and Muslim world then Palestinians were in Palestine. Also, there were Jews living in what is called Palestine 500 years before Islam even existed. The Arabs were colonizers. The Romans change the name to Palestine to punish the Jews. Palestine is a colonial name.

[@Michael-uc2pn]

​​@@DirtyGuerrilla That's what people are failing to understand about this conflict and why it's been going on for so long. The hard line Palestinians (whatever percentage of the whole group that is) have no intention of settling for a long term solution that involves Israel still existing as a state. The conflict has been going on for so long because the Palestinians can't defeat Israel in an actual open war, but Israel hasn't been able to just take the remaining land by force and kick them out because of the impact it would have on international relations. So they're stuck in an endless battle until the vast majority of Palestinians give up and decide it's not worth fighting about anymore, and settle for some other solution that still involves Israel controlling most of the land. Personally I think the sooner that happens, the sooner their suffering will end and their overall quality of life will improve. At some point getting "your" land back isn't worth generations of suffering and fighting an endless losing battle against a superior force.

When the Palestinians in Gaza have been given every opportunity to be peaceful and prosperous without violence they throw it away and blame the US and especially Israel. They have bit the hands that feed them when needed most. Which is a major component of why NO other Muslim Nation other than Iran supports Gaza and Hamas. Not even Egypt, Jordan, or Lebanon.

They didn't start out that way so they might not need land the way you think they do. Their power comes from people, mainly poor people as that's who they started out as a service NGO on behalf of. One of the bitter lessons Egyptians were forced to learn during Mohammed Morsi's abortive term as Egyptian President is that "Islam is (not) the answer" ("IITA" is the official slogan of the Muslim Brotherhood). Ain't noone ever prayed a loaf of bread into existence. That's part of why the MB's lost Egypt as a friendly home; they forgot the people who put them in power, that in 2011 alot of poor Egyptians were starving while their President was worrying & making speeches about their government 'not being Muslim enough'. To earn back their reputation they don't need land. They need people.

Task and Purpose isn’t messing around this year. I’d loved to have seen the internal dialogue when deciding how much information they were going to give us this year. “Are things happening?” “Oh yeah poop loads.” “We must inform the people!”“On everything!?!?” “Yes! This is our Task and Purpose… on Task and Purpose”

[@trs8696]

videos like this are why the legacy media are so, so screwed. this was more thoughtful and informative than anything cnn has put out in the last two months.

[@itsonlyagame]

now Imagine watching news and being inform with this kind of standard I wonder when news channel became so craving to earn ratings over credibility

[@timothymachen687]

Great presentation and analysis !

[@4xhoser]

[@matthewdittrich2976]

Thank you for putting the effort into this issue to help me understand and I hope that many more people watch this video to understand this subject.

[@davidwhitehead6880]

Great job, thank you!

[@blackburnheart]

It's brave for Cappy call the Israeli occupation an "occupation".

[@Saamniferu]

As an israeli, that is simply the term. It's not a negative term, it simply means living there.

[@serversurfer6169]

@@Saamniferu It's definitely a negative term, even if you don't see the problem with it. 🤷‍♂

[@mryupjup2203]

Yes its negative. And no you dont need an occupation to live somewhere lmao, especially not a full one like the one thats happening rn. ​@@Saamniferu

[@1czechit1]

it is also wrong since Israel cannot occupy its own land.

[@1czechit1]

@@Saamniferu occupation is a legal status. It does not apply to Gaza since Gaza is part of the British Mandate (to create a Jewish state) and was inherited by Israel under the uti possidetis juris principle of international law on May 15 1948. A country cannot occupy its own land.

[@eliavyitzhak4887]

A single point. The Mandate for Palestine specifically included all of what is now Israel and Jordan. In 1922, British partitioned the "Transjordan area of Palestine" (literally, meaning "the part of Palestine across the Jordan") and assigned its administration to the son of Hassan bin Ali -- Abdullah I who named himself as Emir. Jordan did not become "Jordan" until 1948, when it was released from the Mandate.

You did a good job in assessing this disaster. I learned a few things - thank you...

[@lux-veritatis]

This was a fantastic summary! Please please consider doing one about the history of the PLO!

[@ricky1000]

Find it funny thay when a story isnt told the way some people want it, they call you a sellout for that.

[@Taskandpurpose]

I kind of figured there would be a lot of disagreement. I can't help but be curious about these topics, often I'm drawn to controversial issues - it's probably should I should learn to avoid more in the future until I'm better at explaining myself. because It doesnt feel good to have people misinterpret what I'm trying to say.

[@asmo1313]

@@Taskandpurpose It does not matter what topic you choose, some wacko somewhere on the internet will hate you for it. And no matter how precise you are, people will find a way to twist you words to better suit their own narrative or get really selective. don`t let it get to you, tell whatever story you want to tell in the way you want to tell it. It`s your channel, not others.

[@Adam-wg2rf]

​@@Taskandpurposeagree as someone who live in israel most people i know don't mind hearing that israel did some bad staff we know and we learen from it, as long as what you say is not twisted are strait up lies most israelis will hear you out.🇮🇱, now about others i don't know.

[@Highlyskeptical]

​@@Taskandpurpose Please don't avoid controversial issues, it's the breath of fresh air signal that makes you stand out from the noise of big media. It's like with Elon, haters gonna hate.

[@phantomapprentice6749]

Sure man , as long as its not twisted or straight up lies@@Adam-wg2rf but the guy gloss over the suicide bombings of the first and second intifada as "Kamikaze attacks" ... Wow the elderly , women and children riding these buses were such a formidable target that Hamas had to send their people onto the buses with suicide vests to murder them... so yeah as an Israeli I do have a problem with how he tries to twist up facts and try to legitimize Hamas. Also the Fatah joined the PLO in 1967 (which would later turn into the Palestinian Authority) from 67 onward they are the same organization and were the same organization during the first and second intifada. but this guy tries to paint Fatah and PA as separate organizations.
