How Israel-Palestine conflict began & why 3 wars, decades of fighting haven’t been able to end it

#theprintexplorer #israel #israelpalestineconflict #palestine
Tens of thousands of lives have been lost in the three wars and decades of murderous fighting between Israelis, Palestinians, and their Arab neighbours. The story of how the conflict began holds the keys to understanding why it's proved so intractable. Even though the story was lost amidst propaganda and national mythmaking, historians have uncovered a sordid story involving imperialism, ethnic hatred and bloodletting.

"There are lessons for us .... " is a salient & a striking part of this presentation. That "history is a great place to visit, but not to live in", is another! .... Great view of the recent history & origin of the interminable conflict & bloodshed in Palestine & the hidden role of religion & ethnicity! 👍
Thanks for a great perspective! Your program scores another hit! It quietly underscores the role of good education as the basis for the search for settlements through trust & negotiation between opposing sides. Politics & vested interest on both sides perpetuates conflict & misery.

This episode brings to my mind these lines by Sri Sri, a progressive Telugu poet: “ఏ జాతి చరిత్ర చూసినా ఏమున్నది గర్వకారణం? నరజాతి చరిత్ర సమస్తం పరపీడన పరాయణత్వం". (Ey jaati charitra choosinaa eymunnadi garvakaaranam? Nara jaati charitra samastam parapeedana paraayanatvam.”

- What is there to take pride in any nation’s history? The entire human history is full of oppressing others.”

not able to understand the silence of Indian journalists not questioning the ongoing genocide and "Bharath's" stance on a decolonial fight

Love these longer formats. It enables you to elucidate more on the complexities and nuances that often characterize the topics you cover.

Not even ones in the entire story did Swamy talk about Israel's continued occupation of Palestine. At the core of the struggle going on right now is Israeli occupation and apartheid.

A very good episode. A accurate and unbiased narration of the historical background.

[infedelin]

As in India and across the world, the plight and horror of the Palestinian people lies squarely with the British and the western countries.

[adityakalele]

One of the best history lessons on the topic I’ve come across anywhere. Very succinct and well put!

While Sekhar Gupta unclutters politics, Paveen Swami unclutters history in a very engrossing way with the viewer lead to roll with the twists and turns of it and drawing important lessons out.

Fabulous work. Finally someone in general media picking through the history, giving context, adding in the human condition and its emotions and some options and opinions that give enough to have an informed and less emotive debate about the problems.
Damn fine stuff!!

Sir, next time you do a historical episode on conflicts, battles or IR, provide a reading list at the description. Will help.

At 10:33 and 10:53, did PS say the independence was given and not taken or earned as the so called congress pumps their chest that they got the independence for India.
PS you need to be explicit on this and let us know the truth from you.

The Jordanians expelled the Jews form the territories it conquered in 1948.
20% of Israel's citizens are Arabs. While most Israeli Arabs are exempt from military service (but may volunteer), the Bedouin serve in the Israeli army.
These facts do not quite reconcile with the commentary on Israeli relations with Jordan and the Bedouin.

[vijayjagtap]

Why not say the mandate means occupation of Palestine.

[piku]

You talk as if Palestine is a country with its own army. Airforce etc. Plus no mention of illegal settlers in westbank.

[suvabratasinha]

Excellent analysis as always!! But what's the thing with the book table? Why not have some reading material on the topic that you are discussing in that particular episode...

[mohitanand]

People who say Israel is an artificial nation. What is an actual nation ??

[aadilawais]

I hope your country fellow listen to you, especially the story u told in 1st minute of this video. They listen to their leaders like ghandi, and others on Palestine occupation. Cause right now, majority of indians r supporting israili genocide and occupation because of their islamophobic sentiment.
Note: Jews persecution narative is a western narative. cause it was west which persecuted jews for centuries. The only exception in EU was the muslim countries where jews flourished. so don't confuse zionist with semitism.
