This video was created 10 years ago, but it will remain relevant for centuries to come. It's disheartening to witness ongoing conflicts where innocent lives are lost.😢

The land: exists

[tyalikanky]

That's secret of land's fertility. Blood.

[bugman]

It's amazing how great the animation still is, and how this hasn't aged a bit.

[Gryou]

Death is the only one who does not face sideways. Quite poetic.

ive seen it a million times and i just cant get enough

[adromio]

Probably the best metaphore not only of the isreali-palestinian conflict but of human history itself that I've ever seen. Remeber folks, Death always wins!

"so take my hand!!!",
*cuts off hand

[nwtemoq]

The real owner of this land is death himself.

[MousechrisTFM]

Started off funny, then it actually got scary, and very very revealing of the current world.

[lojzalojzovic]

its ironic how they call it " holly land " yet its land most soaked with blood

[theeliblog]

2:30 the detail of them both saying “with the help of god” is quite poetic, considering the conflict at its core is about that, who’s god and religion came first.

[quillo]

What a poetic masterpiece! Notwithstanding the very tragic real implications of the continuing conflicts, this video is beautiful. The concept, the singing, the animation, all top notch. Kudos to the creator.

[Mrprince]

Sorta poetic how at the end death says “This land is mine”

[elcatrinc]

Everything aside, this song could also apply very well to the history of the ENTIRE world
