Onion Explains: The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

How did this brutal ideological conflict begin, and will there ever be peace in the region? The Onion explains the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

”Global leaders worked tirelessly to engineer a conflict so intractable that it could last indefinitely” I see no lies here

[YersiniaPestisNPO]

This is where I get my up-to-date information on the Israeli Palestinian conflict

The Onion: The best source of current news from 8 years ago.

[mikhaelis]

We have reached peak absurdity when the Onion gives the only accurate fair and balanced synopsis of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict.

The YouTube algorithm has an interesting sense of humor.

That part about the two sides both sharing "mutual goals" was pure brilliance

[BlueMorningStar]

Hilarious. My one quibble is that they gave credit for engineering an endless conflict to the UN when that prize truly belongs to the British.

[HToothrot]

I know that this video is satirical, and makes no factual statements whatsoever, but I find this video to be biased against whatever side I support.

[johnchessant]

This is the calmest comment section about Israel/Palestine I've come across this week.

[geraldmerkowitz]

It was really nice seeing you all again, see you in another few years!

[Chiberia]

This aged like fine wine. Probably was water 15min before.

[sharrpshooter]

Its wild when the Onion is now one of the most unbiased news sources there is

[peterjuncker]

Was just about to watch a 2 hour documentary on the conflict but this is far more digestable. Thanks for the neutral reporting!

[eucalyptcryptid]

I love how the onion avoids controversy by reporting on things 8 years before they happen

[lazrustosadow]

Finally, a news source we could trust

[utopes]

Oh my freaking god. Onion videos are literally a time capsule used to be recommended for all the right reasons... 10 years into the future every single time.

[ckaz]

Sarcasm cuts through the propaganda like a razor blade.

[ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

The Onion used to be top tier satire. It needs to come back

[Quazarthegreat]

The fact this hasent aged a day is chilling

[dogmike]

I was two and a half minutes into this before I realised it was made eight years ago. It’s comforting to know some things in life are timeless.
