Why not change the title to "Arabs and Jews"? and if you insist on Zionists, then place it to 'Arabs nationalists' or 'pan Arabs'.

[@dolevlitvin8904]

Sorry for leaving a comment here, but I wanted to get your attention. So get this - my great grandpa, a Sephardic Jew from Jerusalem, was actually a childhood friend of Husseini’s. As far as I know, the last contact the two had was sometime after 1935. Due to Ottoman restrictions, one’s neighbour’s consent was required to sell property. Husseini, not wanting to be seeing allowed to sell land to Jews, Vetoed a sell of land next to the Damascus gate. My great grandpa walked up to him, remined him who he was, and suggested a way in which it would appear as though the sell would be done to Christian hands, as opposed to Jewish. Husseini agreed. If you are interested and able to contact me, I have a few more tales of Jerusalem and Mandatory Palestine during that time. One question - why haven’t you mentioned the massive influx of Arab immigrants to the land during British and late Turkish rule?

Excellent video, but there is a small error at 45:30, when you speak about the situation in Europe, and that Hitler gained absolut power after the death of the German President Erich Ludendorf. Which is of course wrong, the last president of the Weimar era was the former General Paul von Hindenburg. Who during WWI, together with Ludendorf, had defeated the Russians at the Battle of Tannenberg, and during the latter part of the war had been the de facto rulers of Germany. After the war they parted ways. Living for a short stint in Sweden, Ludendorf returned to Germany and got embroiled in various right wing groups, and gravitated towards NSDAP. After taking part in Hitler's failed Beerhall Putsch in 1923, he would later brake with Hitler and the NSDAP. Forming his own party and - together with his wife - delve deep into Germanic mysticism and esoterism, and at the early part of the 1930, he managed to revive his relation with Hindenburg.

[@dunnowy123]

25:45 is such an interesting point. I've long wondered why the Palestinian issue is so deeply important to Muslims around the world, and I knew the religious significance of Jerusalem was one aspect, but its weird I've never realized how odd the fixation on Jerusalem is when the city hasn't been all thay important in the Grand Arc of Islamic history. Practically speaking, and not trying to offend anyone, but it seems like the role of Jerusalem in Islam is mostly to tie it to Christianity and Judaism as an Abrahamic religion than anything else.

[@uchannelu5948]

As a Muslim I think that the presenter here is relying on not so accurate sources in this regard which is understandable for me. There's a lot of confusion and misunderstanding when talking about Islam, and when it's about islam and the Palestinian question, oh boy! What is really important for me is to make clear that the presenter is underestimating how important Jerusalem is for the Muslims. It's importance is in Quran and in Sunnah, which is the preaching of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The only city Caliph Omar visited upon controlling it by Muslim armies is Jerusalm. During Omars Caliph Muslim armies opened Persia, egypt and the levant but only Jerusalem was paid a visit by the caliph, this is to show how categorically wrong to play down the importance of Jerusalem and Palestine to the muslims and also to show that its importance is not stimming from AlHusaini's propaganda.

That’s actually nonsense, a lot of academic and genetic research has proven that Palestinians share the same genetic descent of Jews, and are descendant of ancient Israel, and not of Arab settlers, this is could be inferred from genetic testing and historical evidence, in fact both the first president and prime minister of Israel believed this, obviously exceptions exist, but this applies both ways since there were Jewish converts not from ancient Israelite descent, and if we talk about the specific villages and towns not their populations, then that’s a ridiculous argument because people naturally build new towns and villages, but they don’t, if they are decent human beings, invade other people, steal their lands, and then build settlements upon them.

Excellent video, the history of israel and palestine is very difficult to study, especially considering its history is constantly being rewritten to suit a sides particular narrative. Most people think the history starts in 1948 when in reality the conflict spans back into the early 1900s. Even back in the 1800s the population of palestine was only a quarter of a million, most of the arabs not unlike the jews were refugees, from all over the middle east.

[@ef2718]

[@Blochr379]

No the palestinian are mostly, like all levantine people, descendant of semitic people who descend from ancient canaan like the jews. Their history can be like this, they were jews and samaritains convert to Christianity and who spoke greek and amaraic at the Time of the roman empire. Jews always lived there and had a remaining presence till the genocidal first crusade. When the arabs conquered the levant, they were a minority in those conquered land and they didnt replace the population, but they ruled them. The population became majority muslim and arabic in a assimilation process that lasted centuries. So yeah Palestinians have a pretty good claim to the land like the jews. Its also a more effective one in my view since they pretty much always lived there. Of course through 2000 years the Palestine was a land of immigration and emmigration, pretty much like all country and nation in the mediteranean. They were always there.

There were two British Mandates. One is the British Mandate For Mesopotamia (Iraq) which was to transfer control of the land to "native authorities and shall take account of the rights and interests and wishes of all the population in handing the mandated territory." and then there was a British Mandate For Palestine which was to transfer control to "the historical connection of the Jewish people...for reconstituting their national home." The British were trustees and the Arabs (in Iraq) and Jews worldwide the beneficiaries of the Mandates. The British mandate for Palestine included the Trans-Jordan (today's Jordan.) The Revisionists did not call for a Jewish state from the River of Egypt to the Euphrates but the original borders as established at the San Remo Conference.

There was a French Mandate of Syria, a British Mandate for Palestine (to transfer the control of the land to the Jews) and a British Mandate for Mesopotamia (Iraq.) The Arabs and Jews were respectively beneficiaries, the British and French trustees to transfer control to the Arabs and Jews respectively. Iraq became independent in 1932, Syria in 1946. In 1922 due to Arab violence the Arabs got 70% of the Jewish land in an illegal act by the British.

[@siwarmansour9998]

This account, while very informative is incredibly biased 😅. To claim that Palestinians retaliated against their colonizers because they were “jealous” is an oversimplification of the stories of the people that lived there. Arabs did not just live in clans. They lived in cities, they were intellectuals, poets, they had a rich culture. They had deep ties to the region. While the Zionists NEVER attempted to integrate. In Israel today Jewish Israelis have extremely limited knowledge of Arab culture (despite being surrounded by it) and don’t speak Arabic. From my perspective it is the Jews who have always lived in paranoia( understandable but projected in the wrong place) many of them considering themselves to be of a higher class than the Arabs.

Before the Ottoman Empire, the region historically known as Palestine had various rulers, including the Byzantine Empire, the Persian Empire, and earlier, the region was part of ancient kingdoms like the Kingdom of Israel and Judah, as well as the Assyrian and Babylonian empires. The historical connections to an area can be significant, and justifying modern geopolitical actions solely based on ancient history is complex and often contentious. Modern societies are governed by a variety of laws and international agreements and evolving social dynamics. I really like this creator and the history here is fascinating!

I must agree with you. It is spot on.

[@chaiam]

It’s not complicated. People who think they are better than other people use any leverage they to do whatever they want, and take over other’s territory for themselves and other people who also think they’re better than other people - in todays context that means doing so but at a rate that isn’t conspicuously criminal. Israel interestingly is the only nation since its inception that was permanently at war. It probably always will be. And nobody will be able to do anything about it. Because Jews don’t have any other homeland, despite being unable to legitimately provide any evidence that it was an ancient homeland (I’m surprised they didn’t just make it up but it would probably be found out) Conversely Muslims probably cover more landmass than any other religion, and their religion is famous for taking over other territories in the most vicious and efficient manner, making them not the easiest to empathise with. Idk at the end of the story but it doesn’t look that complicated. Im not keen on nationalism of any kind (Israel “ironically” is the most nationalist ethnostate there is) but both Muslims and Jews are famous for messing around in countries affairs or full out take over, in the case of Muslims in history the attempted takeover of India and Spain, and successful takeover of, well everywhere in he Middle East outside of Mecca and large swathes of Southeast Asia in Indochina. As for the Jews they seem for some reason devoted to destroying Europe from the inside with immigration, something which is obvious to even the most vehement philosemite amongst other things which I won’t repeat to avoid the label ‘antisemite’.

The Jewish people are *indigenous* to Judea - Land of Israel. 🕎🙌 After over 2 millennia of forced exile, persecution, and genocide, the *(re)establishment* of *Jewish sovereignty* in our *ancestral homeland* is a remarkable story of *national liberation.* Jewish claims to the land are far more than biblical accounts. Our *religion, language, culture, holidays, rituals, liturgy, history,* and even the words Jew and Jewish are all inseparable from *historical Judea* and our collective longing to *return to the Land of Israel.* The land of Israel is where Jews became *a people* and the *oldest monotheistic faith.* It is where Jews *achieved sovereignty* before losing it and regaining it several times until much of the *indigenous Jewish population* was either killed or forced into exile following the *Roman Empire’s* brutal suppression of the heroic *Jewish revolt* in the second century of the Common Era. Though the Romans subsequently *renamed the land* Syria Palaestina, the Jewish people *never left* our homeland physically or spiritually. *Archaeological evidence* of Jewish life can be found in more than *30,000 sites* in Israel with antiquities dating back centuries. Even when we were massacred and persecuted by Christian Crusaders, Arab and Ottoman *invaders,* the British-led Jordanian Arab Legion, or more recently Hamas suicide bombers and rockets, our attachment *never* wavered. It is in this same land where Jews miraculously *revitalized* the Hebrew language, *rebuilt* the institutions necessary for independence, *re-engaged* in rituals that are uniquely observed in the land of Israel, *redeveloped* the land and the economy so that by several magnitudes the Jewish and non-Jewish populations grew, and offered refuge not just to the remnant which survived the Holocaust, but also millions of Jews fleeing persecution from the Muslim Middle East, Ethiopia, and the former Soviet Union. Today, Israel is a *rich tapestry of diverse citizens,* including over half of Jewish Israelis who identify as Jews of color and 20% of whom are Arab citizens. *Peace Not Hate!* 🇮🇱💙

You forgot to mention that the new Jewish landowners, primarily the Jewish Agency, actively worked to evict tenant farmers from their newly-acquired lands, thereby pushing many peasants (“fellahin”) to support the 1936 revolt against the British and fuel anti-Jewish violence . So land acquisitions, even if they were done through the landowning class in the region, were not completely benign and helped to impoverish the Palestinian peasantry, who were the majority of the population. Also, you seem to insinuate that the majority of the Palestinian Arab press was just pure propaganda drivel. This is a very biased video.

[@crazyeight9]

Definitely today the Palestinian press if you can call it that is 100 percent pure propaganda. I don’t know about back then but logically it was probably still pretty biased

[@ajvorob9117]

Actually the Zionists paid reparations to every tenant farmer affected by the land purchase. And eviction is 100% legal as they did not actually own the land. The absentee landlords could have found alternative land for the tenant farmers but they didn't. Instead all the responsibility fell on the Jewish buyers. Which they did.

[@ajvorob9117]

If anything the Arabs became richer through Jewish land purchases and settlement. The tenant farmer no longer needed to be tied down to a land he had no heart or stomach to work for and could learn other trades. Not to mention they had to pay exorbitant rents to the absentee landlords. It was essentially a medieval feudal system which Zionism helped abolish. The poverty of the fellaheen was largely due to the collusion between the ottoman government, absentee landlords, and the Arab effendi class.

[@ajvorob9117]

The Arab press constantly claimed that Jewish land purchases massively displaced the Arab tenant farmers. But in reality the amount of actual displacement was very low. During the British mandate Era, over 3000 claims of alleged displacement were filed and only 600 of them were considered valid. Of those valid claims, half accepted resettlement and the others refused. Read "The Claim of Disposession "

[@ajvorob9117]

Not to mention that even after the tenant farmers received compensation and agreed to move elsewhere, they attacked the Jews when they started plowing land that they legally bought. That's like a man purchasing a farm from another farm owner and compensating the former workers at the farm. Then when the man tries to put his own workers on the farm, they're attacked by the former workers. How is that in any way fair? You accept financial compensation and still try to attack people who legally purchased the land? That's barbaric nonsense that no sane person can claim is justifiable. It's not a reason to murder. Legal eviction does not give you a right to kill. By that logic, people who are evicted from homes because they can't pay the mortgage have a right to murder people.
