The Truth Behind the Israel-Palestinian Conflict

More than ever, myths and mistruths swirl around Israel and the entire Middle East. The line between fact and fiction is blurred with blood and tears, creating false narratives that drip with distortions. But behind the smoke and mirrors lies the hard truth which every thinking person must discover.

I have been a history professor for 27 years. It is appalling how little students know about the history and how easily they believe all the antisemitic rhetoric they are hearing on colleges. You ask them what river and what sea they are chanting about, and they can't tell you. You tell them Gaza was controlled by Egypt not Israel from 1948-1967 and they look at you with this blank expression. You ask them why are upset about Israel and not real atrocities that nations like Iran and China commit and they can't even tell you what is going on in those other nations. It is both depressing and funny. And for anyone who does actually want to know the history of Israel I am more than happy to share my lectures.

I was speechless after watching this. I’ve wasted a lifetime on mediocrity; silly noise, unsatisfying and speculative explanations [of the Jewish experience] at best. This talk cuts right through all the nebula & gets to the heart of the matter with preternatural precision. What a wonderful storyteller and gifted communicator. Not words to express how thankful I am for having stumbled upon this video today 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am a Christian for 50 plus years, and I studied the Bible extensively. The Old Testament was my favourite
Many of my colleagues did not know the history of the Jewish people and they were influenced by the media, I stopped arguing with them the Palestinian land. When Jesus comes, there will be peace, but until such time, the fight must go on.

[ardeleanluisa]

Very well said, God of Israel bless you

[tsukeral]

One of the best most moving lectures I have heard. Thank you.

[brynawaldman]

To my mind when G-d stopped Abraham from sacrificing Isaac, a directive against child abuse was laid down. When Moses led the slaves to freedom, a directive against slavery was laid down. These two directives are the foundations of healthy community everywhere.

As a Christian my heartfelt apology for all the hurt & pain Israel has suffered at the hands of ignorant church leaders & their duped followers.
It is unimaginable for us to hate Jews as Christ Jesus was himself of the tribe of Judah and as he himself said I have not come to change the law but to fulfill it.

Our religions make us who we are. It's known that a particular religion tells its followers to fight the Jews and Christians till judgement day, and that is exactly what we see they are doing. They are allowed to use taqqiyah (lying) in their fight against their enemies and we also see that actively in play and many fell to taqqiyah - including heads of governments, educated people and university students. How can we forget 'Your religion is your religion and my religion is my religion' but later when they became powerful it changed to 'dead or pay jizyah'. Never be fooled by taqqiyah. True Christians always stand with the Jews.

[luisaavalon]

We should love & respect each other even if you are a Muslim, Jews, or Christians. If no more hatred, no more war.

[indljoe]

Very clear Rabbi. But I think ACTIVE Unity among Israelites is important. Jews with supported Christian must show their support worldwide

[ingridjung]

It was the Islamic Republic that said no to the offered help. The real Iranians are with the Israelis! You recognize them when they rise the flag with the lion and the sun.

[kimshila]

The world is beautiful because of Jews
We don’t want the world in which you get hurt or damaged
My heart and my family’s hearts is with you

[sissy]

I am looking online and seeing terrible things being said. I hope this video helps me understand a little bit more. October 7 was Israel’s 911. I don’t understand why people don’t understand this or care!

[unyrbhr]

AS A MOROCCAN WHO HAS BEEN PLEASED WITH THE RECENT RAPPROCHEMENT BETWEEN IT AND ISRAEL RECENTLY SPECIALLY GIVEN THE NUMBERS OF ISRAELIS WHO ORIGINATE FROM MOROCCO..THIS WAS A UNIQUE AND INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE THANKS AND SHALOM…

[honorineperera]

So so so true, I tell everyone that will listen " this is NOT a land conflict but a religious conflict" ....

[anibalantinori]

I'm a Christian, an ex leftist atheist who hated Jewish. It turns out that I'm a PhD candidate and one of my closer friends is a cultural Jew from Israel, Jerusalem. I can't believe how many things we have in common and how thankful I have become to Jewish x
Culture. I might keep saying that Jesus is my God and you that the Almighty is the only one. But at the final of the day we know that our religions are pacifist in their fundamentals. We will keep having disagreement but we know that we are open to dialogue and honest discussions. If anything happens, I will support you by any ends and I know that a lot of Christians will do it too.

[Oushimoto]

God be blessed!
God bless the Jewish people!
God bless the descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
God bless you all!

[kashrut]

I believe conditions weren't so great in Arab countries after Islam rose and began to spread throughout the region. Perhaps there weren't so many pogroms or expulsions, but they made Jews 2nd class citizens and expected them to pay the 'Jizyah' the tax on these 2nd class citizens. This went back over 1000 years.

[TheEternityKid]

Great speech! .The sin of greed will indeed bring imperial islamism down.

[paulakaupa]

I dont know that christians have persecuted jews in the old days. However, being a christian now, the basics of my faith is to love all people including those who hate you and the bible also teaches us to love and bless the nation of Israel.
