The Origins of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict | Palestine Mandate Part 1

Read my sources to get a fuller understanding of the subject. I would like to especially thank Oren Kessler for his research in "Palestine 1936," which was of great help.

The president that died prior to Hitler declaring himself Führer, was Hindenburg, not Lüdendorf.

[SamAronow]

The guy playing Jabotinsky sure sounds handsome. I wonder if I can get him to play the role in _my_ next video...

[jeffslote]

There’s absolutely no way anyone could have any disagreement on this topic. This is the one topic that everyone agrees on. No differing opinions on Israeli history

At 77, a lifetime of hearing of the oppression and repression of the Arabs by the Jews in the Levant and knowing the truth, this production is a valuable addition to my library. Thank you for your time and effort.

[rafisanders]

The comments here are going to be pleasant. I'm sure we will see even handed cordial debate

The israeli-palestine situation is just ultra messy to say the least

[svavelvinter]

Excellent video, but there is a small error at 45:30, when you speak about the situation in Europe, and that Hitler gained absolut power after the death of the German President Erich Ludendorf. Which is of course wrong, the last president of the Weimar era was the former General Paul von Hindenburg. Who during WWI, together with Ludendorf, had defeated the Russians at the Battle of Tannenberg, and during the latter part of the war had been the de facto rulers of Germany.

After the war they parted ways. Living for a short stint in Sweden, Ludendorf returned to Germany and got embroiled in various right wing groups, and gravitated towards NSDAP. After taking part in Hitler's failed Beerhall Putsch in 1923, he would later brake with Hitler and the NSDAP. Forming his own party and - together with his wife - delve deep into Germanic mysticism and esoterism, and at the early part of the 1930, he managed to revive his relation with Hindenburg.

hebret samuel (aka the bootlicker of the arab settlers) calling the Jews "colonists" is the most ironic thing I've ever seen, those arab "villages" are at most recent settlements formed by clans

There’s not a lot of good videos on 1920-1947 Arab-Jewish relations in Mandatory Palestine. Thanks for your important work

I asked my grandfather “Wasn’t it a good thing J€w$ & Israel gained their independence so their people can finally have a place to go in peace!”
He just got mad and start cursing me out!! What was that all about?? Now he won’t even talk to me….

[grfqgtw]

So every immigrant and refugee is a ""settler""?

[erickedmondromanharris]

It was neve "Ottoman-Palestine", the word Palestine wasn´t employed until the British Mandate was created after WWI, and it hadn´t been used since the Roman Empire when Hadrian renamed it Palestine purpousley to earase Israel and Judah from the map.

babe wake up new casual historian video and its almost an hour

[Erez]

Mandate Palestine is correct. It was never a place or a country before the Mandate not after it. Once the Mandate was lifted, it seized to exist, as it should.

[yzpwdvn]

It was the british mandate authorities in that land that dug up from hell the name palestine.Under the previous centuries of muslim occupation muslim rule they never referred to the land as palestine.The British also created out of most of that mandate land a seperate mandate called trans jordan, that later became Jordan.And that is already an arab racist anti jewish palestinian state.But they demand everywhere in that area, and that is the problem.

[cageybee]

one side: quotes the fucking _protocols of elders of zion_
the other side: *wants to exist*
the world: "this seems like a complicated issue"

[banto]

The conflict officially began in 1878 when Jewish immigrants from Central Europe set up the first "Settlement" on land they bought in Petah Tikva. If they had been Muslim immigrants there would have been no conflict. The conflict was and never will be about land. It was and always will be due to the need for Muslims to see Jews as an inferior race, to be subjugated to Muslim authority. If all the Jews in Israel (and the territories) would convert to Islam, the conflict would be over in less than a second.

17:16 " while in purely Arab towns such as Nablus Hebron and Gaza"

Nablus Hebron and Gaza became purely Arab towns when their old communities of Jews perished following 1929 riots (The 1929 massacre in Hebron is mentioned in the video.)

[czechit]

There were two British Mandates. One is the British Mandate For Mesopotamia (Iraq) which was to transfer control of the land to "native authorities and shall take account of the rights and interests and wishes of all the population in handing the mandated territory." and then there was a British Mandate For Palestine which was to transfer control to "the historical connection of the Jewish people...for reconstituting their national home." The British were trustees and the Arabs (in Iraq) and Jews worldwide the beneficiaries of the Mandates. The British mandate for Palestine included the Trans-Jordan (today's Jordan.) The Revisionists did not call for a Jewish state from the River of Egypt to the Euphrates but the original borders as established at the San Remo Conference.

At 33:48 you stated "Jewish immigration into Palestine escalated in the early 1930's, with the Jewish population growing from about 17 percent in 1931 to about 30 percent in 1930".
"growing from about 17 percent in 1931 to about 30 percent in 1930"?
How is that even possible?
