0:10 In his book "The Population of Palestine", american demographer Justin McCarthy details the evolution of the population in the area from 1877 to 1915 by religious groups. In page 10, there is a table that shows the info by year. In 1877 there were 127k muslims, 2.2k christians and 0.38k jews. In 1915, there were 600k muslims, 40k jews and 80k christians. By 1947, jews were 1/3 of the population. The jewish inmigration was accelerated by the zionist movement since the 1890s.

2:58 "Indigenous Arab population" ??? Arabs aren't indigenous to the Levant. It's literally in their name. They are indigenous to the Arabian Peninsula. A lot of the information you are conveying is false. At 1:35 you said that Jewish immigration displaced the Arabs. This is false. The Arabs strongly opposed Jewish immigration as can be observed in the many times Jews were turned away while trying to flee the Holocaust. Furthermore, there are very well-documented land purchases by the Jews from the Ottomans in uninhabited areas that actually overlap with areas with high levels of malaria. The only time when Arabs were displaced was during Israel's war for independence in 1948 when the Arabs in Israel and the surrounding countries became combative, attempting to wipe out the Jewish State. I don't know for certain if your intention is to misinform but your video is severely lacking in historical context.

Somethings I would’ve like to see/hear more about was the troop composition during the wars (e.g.: the 1948 war, where both sides were actually evenly matched in terms of composition). Additionally, it might be worth mentioning the role of soviet/western influence throughout the years of this conflict.

[@chouman4661]

Adding on here, I would have liked to hear more about the Oslo accords, as the standing PM at that time, Yitzhak Rabin, was assassinated not even a year after its proposal by a zionist. Following his death, Netanyahu succeeded him, a man who believes that Hitler was pressured in creating the Holocaust due to the influence of some Arabs.

I wish I had mentioned them.

[@donaldseigel4101]

Sorry but this video was biased in its many omissions. He skipped over a lot, not just the Palestine riots of 1929 which caused the Irgun and Lehi to be formed. He also skipped over the fact that the straights of Tiran and Suez canal were closed to Israeli shipping, and the Egyptians and Syrians were amassing troops on Israel's border, when Israel's Airforce did a "pre-emptive attack"in 1967. The fact that it was the British who brought the idea to the Zionists World congress for the Balfour declaration only after the communists took over Russia because they had faulty intelligence that the communists were ran by Jews, (that was the Mensheviks who lost to the Bolsheviks who were primarily not Jewish), and they thought by offering the Jews a state it would sway communist Russia to stay allied with the UK in WW1. It was also the UK and France who masterminded and convinced Israel to join them in the "Suez Crisis" a war to get back control over the Suez canal that Egypt had nationalized from British and French private companies. "Nasser's response was the nationalization of the Suez Canal. On 26 July, in a speech in Alexandria, Nasser gave a riposte to Dulles. During his speech he deliberately pronounced the name of Ferdinand de Lesseps, the builder of the canal, a code-word for Egyptian forces to seize control of the canal and implement its nationalization.[108] He announced that the Nationalization Law had been published, that all assets of the Suez Canal Company had been frozen, and that stockholders would be paid the price of their shares according to the day's closing price on the Paris Stock Exchange.[109] That same day, Egypt closed the canal to Israeli shipping.[110] Egypt also closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping, and blockaded the Gulf of Aqaba, in contravention of the Constantinople Convention of 1888. Many argued that this was also a violation of the 1949 Armistice Agreements.[111][112]" He also stated that Israel had violated United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181, when it was the Arab armies, and Palestinian Fedayeen who attacked Israel 1st violating 181. When Israel declared independence it was only in the areas they controlled already, after they were attacked all that of course went out the window, because Israel took over the areas it had won, and Egypt and Jordan took over the areas they had won in Palestine.....181 specifically called for the creation of both a Jewish and Arab Palestinian state, however Egypt occupied Gaza, and Jordan occupied the West Bank.

Not only that - it was actually the Arab states who attacked Israel that told the Palestinians to leave their homes so that the Arabs could more easily invade Israel.

Few important things are missing - a million Jews were pushed out/fled from all the Arab countries in 1947. The Six Days (June 1967) war pre-planned for many months by Egypt, Syria and Jordan with their USSR allies, who supplied them with their best weapons. Jews have always lived in this territory and were constantly humiliated, attacked , murdered by the Muslim occupation since 700AD, and many Jews lived around Jerusalem and Hebron throughout history. Just to name a few.

[@OmreeWechsler]

Thank you for the video. A few comments: 1. There were massacre events of the Arab population against the Jewish communities prior 1936 (Jaffa in 1921 and Hebron 1929) 2. Most of the lands prior to 1948 were legally purchased by Jews from Arabs. Many times it has occurred that Arabs who sold territories to the Jews were murdered by their own communities for betrayal. 3. Most of the displaced Arabs on 1948 ran because their leaders told them that the Jews would kill them and that their displacement is temporary. Arabs that did not run and did not participate in the fighting still remain today - mostly Arab villages in the Galilee in the North. 4. 1967 - Israel opened the war after Egypt's president Gamal Abd al Nasser ordered the Egyptian army into Sinai, threatening Israel. 5. The Israeli invasion into Lebanon in 1982 did not happen in a vacuum, as PLO fighters regularly invaded and killed and sabotaged infrastructure in the North. 6. You said the Oslo Accords failed but did not manage to say by whom. According to former US president Bill Clinton, Yasser Arafat "disappeared" without signing the agreement. In the end, the territorial disputes were solved in all peace proposals. The one thing that kept on failing the negotiations is the Palestinian demand that the 1948 refugees and their offspring (today, more then 7 million people) go back, but not to the Palestinian state but into Israel itself - a demand that would topple Israel in terms of society, security and economy.

The infrastructure was made by Jews already residing in Palestine long before the cause of Palestinians had even come up. •Irgun and Lehi were formed as self-defense groups because of continuous Arab attacks on Jewish civilians. • The 1948 war started off with the Arab leaders openly stating their motive of "Holy war through massacre and se*ual abuse of Jews". • In 1967 the pre emptive strikes were carried out due to Arab militarisation near Israel .

You have some good stuff here, but there are a couple key things you skipped over. Before the war in 1948 between Israel as a state and it's 5 Arab Neighboring countries, those countries instructed their Arab citizens living in the territory they were about to go to war over to leave and that they would have the "right of return" once they took care of Israel. They just didn't want their civilians to be caught in the crossfire. It would be 5 against 1. Then Israel won, and that is now framed Israel as a bunch of evil colonists when that in fact was not the case. You also need to go back further than just the British mandate and ottoman empire. I know it would be a very long video, but the era of the 1900s to present is just little sliver of history with that land. There is so much people need to know that simply starting there paints this situation as "where it all started" when it in fact didn't "just start' there.

He skipped over a lot, not just the Palestine riots of 1929 which caused the Irgun and Lehi to be formed. He also skipped over the fact that the straights of Tiran and Suez canal were closed to Israeli shipping, and the Egyptians and Syrians were amassing troops on Israel's border, when Israel's Airforce did a "pre-emptive attack"in 1967. The fact that it was the British who brought the idea to the Zionists World congress for the Balfour declaration only after the communists took over Russia because they had faulty intelligence that the communists were ran by Jews, (that was the Mensheviks who lost to the Bolsheviks who were primarily not Jewish), and they thought by offering the Jews a state it would sway communist Russia to stay allied with the UK in WW1. It was also the UK and France who masterminded and convinced Israel to join them in the "Suez Crisis" a war to get back control over the Suez canal that Egypt had nationalized from British and French private companies. "Nasser's response was the nationalisation of the Suez Canal. On 26 July, in a speech in Alexandria, Nasser gave a riposte to Dulles. During his speech he deliberately pronounced the name of Ferdinand de Lesseps, the builder of the canal, a code-word for Egyptian forces to seize control of the canal and implement its nationalisation.[108] He announced that the Nationalization Law had been published, that all assets of the Suez Canal Company had been frozen, and that stockholders would be paid the price of their shares according to the day's closing price on the Paris Stock Exchange.[109] That same day, Egypt closed the canal to Israeli shipping.[110] Egypt also closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping, and blockaded the Gulf of Aqaba, in contravention of the Constantinople Convention of 1888. Many argued that this was also a violation of the 1949 Armistice Agreements.[111][112]"

The suggestion that the Jews got the fertile regions in the 1947 partition plan, while the Arabs got the non-fertile regions is complete nonsense. It's actually the complete opposite - the Jews got swamps and deserts, while Arabs got nearly 100% of the agriculturally viable lands. The few agriculturally viable lands in the Jewish part were a result of considerable Jewish effort to drain swamps and "terraform" the land. On the other hand, the Arabs got the naturally fertile Jordan Valley, plus the Samaria and Galilee that are great for grazing. Gaza is also the best region for agriculture on the coastal plain, due to most of the area draining into the Besor/Gaza stream, which can be used for irrigation.
