This needs to be played at protested campuses on large outdoor screens.
The U.N. should have to watch this twice.

[geraldgrieve]

Many Arab historians and scholars agree with that.

That couldn't have been explained any better Simcha. Prayers for Israel's success and safety.

[MustAfaalik]

Inshaalah, may the anti Jewish, pro Palestinian & Islamist community cleanse their mind with the Truth & learn to co-exist peacefully!🙏

[JohnR-NZ]

As a Christian here in NZ with little understanding of the history in the area of Israel I thank you for putting the history in a way that's easier for me to understand, that's important to me because I do support Israel and pray for peace in their land 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇭🇳🇭🇳🇭🇳🇭🇳❤❤

Thank you for the truth. History is badly needed. The ignorant will believe anything.

Simcha, as a non-Jew, non-Arab I have researched the Israel-Palestine conflict since October 7th and have to agree with everything you said in this video. With regards to the "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" taken from the HAMAS charter, I would recommend that people who believe this should read the rest of the HAMAS charter which includes the destruction of Israel and the killing of all the Jews in Israel. Hardly a peaceful or accomodating ideology. Another problem is that in the islamic religion they do not believe that any land that once was occupied by muslims can ever be anything else. Also the moslem brotherhood has the slogan "Muslim should dominate not be dominated". So when Egypt ruled GAZA there was no problem with the local arab "Palestinians". Once it came under Israeli control all hell broke loose even though they were treated better by the Israelis.

Thank you!!! I am so glad to see a respected historian (and one of my favorites) having the balls to make the truth very clear! Shalom 🙏

[kimweidner]

This is exactly the truth! Thank you, Simcha! God bless you and Israel. 🇮🇱❤️🇺🇸

[lizzkaayako]

Thanks for making this video. I am not a Jew, but the facts you have presented here are fundamental historical facts that most professors, for whatever reason, choose not to teach their students. Thank you again.

[RobertYoung-ltls]

Truely love your work.
None are so blind as those who refuse to see!

[janniewatson]

Thank you ... we need your voice right now.

[zgnbmkb]

Dear Simcha, it's always good to hear from you, you've done a lot of journalistic history, receiving awards for your investigative journalistic work, for us you're a champion. Shana bless you and always be happy. Like your name.

[kazitude]

THIS needs/MUST be taught in schools!!!

[yername]

Well said Simca !!
Israel has a right to exist!!

[NewCitzn]

Simcha, I am so glad you are on the right side of history. Every word you said was the truth. I’ve always loved your documentaries. Since you are involved with the “Media”, I really wasn’t sure what to expect when I started watching the video! God bless you Simcha, and keep up the good work.

[mikenixon]

Thank you for speaking up Simcha. Shalom.
