This is the longest video I've ever published to TH-cam, and I still feel like it's barely scratching the surface. The entire history behind this conflict is profoundly deep and complicated, so if you'd like to watch another 1-hour documentary covering all of the previous wars and conflicts between Israel and Hamas that led up to what's happening today, I encourage you to watch this video next on Nebula - nebula.tv/videos/reallifelore-modern-conflicts-israel-and-gaza-before-2023.

Hi
@@Lumiere192hi
You call this a war? Its a extermination camp.
I miss the short 7 minute videos from a few years ago
I’d love to but I’m a teen and I don’t have any money to do that 😢
if you think i’m gonna watch a 1 hour long reallifelore video then you would be absolutely correct
Lmfao
You can't trust all his sources and his interpretations. Just keep getting information from more than one place.
Tldr: Israel is being attacked because they are invading land and getting resistance
as someone with tiktok brain rot i watched every minute of this video 😂😂
🧡
It's so fascinating that what seems to be just a conflict between two countries actually involves dozens of other countries and conflicts all over the world.
only reason it involves other countries because of those illegal imigrats from syria and middle east countries in europe 80% of demonstrators are muslims
As a British person, we're responsible for most of the conflict in the middle East. Divide and conquer.
globalization was a mistake for this very reason
nobody can make sense of all the intricate reasons and coalitions anymore so simple extremism takes over.
@@Mr.Cool628 the other 20% are left wing extremists.
it's tradition for them to be antisemite, e.g. the "Rote Armee Fraktion", a german terrorist group who worked closely with Palestinians.
@@McYeroc Yeah, Coz before the Brits turned up the middle east was a bastion of peace and harmony. Give yourself a pat on the back for being so enlightened.
Really great video. I was scared to watch a heavily one-sided video but you mention a lot of topics and threads that keep it very interesting to watch.
How is it "heavily one sided" ..there are things called FACTS...The israelis should have been smarter and invaded a plot of land with OIL...
Yes heavily one sided was my sentiment towards this video also
@@BrenTennme too
ffs
I believe there's an important aspect you missed by not mentioning the Emirate of Transjordan, which is the part of Palestine occupied by Jordan. It's a topic that often goes unnoticed or undiscussed, and I find it puzzling
As a Jordanian-Palestinian, you missed that Jordan controlled the West Bank, and no one objected. Perhaps, the first thing Palestinians might desire after their independence is a union with Jordan, and This is not impossible; Jordan attempted a union with Iraq and Syria when they were all under Hashemite rule.
@@zaidmo6243"no one objected" King Abdullah was literally killed by a Palestinian nationalist what nonsense are you on about
@@jameslane976
I don't understand your point, when I said no one it was a metaphor What is the connection between this assassination by one person With the people's approval of that ruling
@@zaidmo6243When you say no one, does that include the Muslim world? Like was everyone okay with Jordan controlling Palestinian West Bank?
@@xsaxia2008
No, I was talking about the Palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem, In fact, only Pakistan and Britain recognized this annexation or union (call it what you want), but it was like no one tried to do anything
In addition to the fact that half of the Jordanian government was from the West Bank, what would you do if you did not agree with the status of this country?
I love how the comments are so relaxed and no one is fighting
Would you love Britain giving your country to Israel?
@@CRCfail litealy no one cares i commented a month ago edit: i'd like it if americans would stop telling me what's happening in my country that they know nothing about
The people that are willing to watch a long video to educate themselves, are smart enough not to fight each other in the comments 😌♥️
@@vbandz1000 you're right, i wad trying to be pozitive and it devolved into a fight
Lol. Right?? I love it. A tiny little microcosm that displays clearly why violence and genocide are inevitable as long as humans are allowed to be human.
Around the 20 min mark, you note that Hamas had a "decisive victory" in the 2006 election. However, they received 44.45% of the vote and won 74 of the 132 seats, while Fatah received 41.43% of the vote and won 45 seats. While the seat differential is notable, I think it's important to point out that they were only a few percent more popular than Fatah, and never had majority support from Palestinians.
Edit to change "resounding" to "decisive" after it was pointed out that I got the quote wrong. Thanks!
and they only won, because Arafat died with Arafat the Fatah would have won
Fatah were also terrorists that call for the total destruction of Israel so it really doesn't change much
Its about as much as the Nazis won in 33.
Fatah are not anything better
The problem is that Palestinians vote for terrorists
Thank you for stitching together all these threads into a coherent narrative explaining this ongoing conflict and the geopolitical history and current policies behind it. I knew some of this from reading articles but you helped me understand how all of it fits together. Great job! Sadly you won’t learn much from American news.
I did not say a WORD! on how palestine murdered and kill israeli civilians in terror attacks for YEARS. RealLifeLore is a nazi shit.
While this couldn't go through everything. All that was mentioned is really accurate and well researched.
It would be really great to add subtitles in global languages like French, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Spanish etc. for larger audiences to understand. My friends would watch this video but their English is not enough for this.
Learn English
Yea they should but it’s so hard cuz you can do AI translations but AI is shit so it will get stuff wrong and with how important this information is, I doubt he would want ANYTHING to be misconstrued just because of a poor translation, you could get people to translate for you, but then you will most likely have to pay them and he is either by himself or with only a small team, and idk if TH-cam allows you to edit things like multi language captions after uploading, but if they do, maybe he will add it at a later time cuz all of this info is time sensitive
@@username5352He is writing in English Stupid..
I hope he notices this comment. Thank you
@@username5352 learn a new language, it's so easy!
Thank you for providing so much of the lost context that is plaguing media and social media. It's just a terrible situation nobody wants to properly deal with.
Actually, watching the piece, the context it provides is too unbalanced, which makes it... out of context.
I watched the entire thing. Very informative. Watching it at first, I noticed some omissions that I thought were probably the result of a 100 years of conflict being condensed into a 1-hour piece.
But the more I watched, the more I realized these are not just video length-based omissions. In fact, these omissions come with the very problematic side effect of misrepresentation. Given the amount of detail and information in this video, it's hard to see how this could be done without your awareness.
A few examples:
Misrepresenting the connection between Iran and Hamas, explaining it as a mere timely convenience. While Iran has supported Hamas with millions and millions of dollars, training its elite forces, providing it with lethal weapons, and a lot more. Most importantly, the "Octopus paradigm" explains its foreign policy in the area, such that Iran sends its tentacles via Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in an attempt to encircle Israel with unbearable threats.
The relationship with Hamas and Fatah is shown to be almost that of competing political parties, while in fact, it's a very bloody relationship. When Hamas won the election in Gaza, it didn't just win against Fatah; it eliminated its supporters, throwing them from rooftops and killing them.
Israel did not move out of the Gaza Strip only for economic and security reasons; that's absurd. It was a one-sided attempt by Israel (supposedly by the US) to cease its governance over the Gazan people. It was highly controversial politically, had very high costs, and the small side effect of a modern state evacuating its own citizens forcefully. The Israeli people learned quite a lesson there, shown partly in article 5.
The repeated refusal of the Palestinian leaders to negotiate any peace offerings.
And finally, you ignored an amazing amount of aggressions committed by both Hamas, Fatah, and Jihadist Islam groups. With over 24,000 rockets shot at civilian targets since 2001 from Gaza, around 8,500 of them since October 7th. With around over 70 successful suicide bombings out of the three groups, and hundreds of unsuccessful ones since 2001 (not including many more suicide bombings occurring before 2001). All directed against the civilian population, of course. Notwithstanding, looking at Hamas's official charter of murderous anti-Semitic claims (recommended read), and I'm keeping things very short.
Without claiming it explicitly, you gave the impression of a complete oppressor-oppressed relationship, in which the Palestinian people are a freedom-seeking one, brutally stopped by Zionist cold-hearted actions.
Just for the sake of anyone reading this and looking for more, I suggest asking a simple question (which wasn't answered in the video) as to why - why did Egypt join the blockade on Gaza?
@@omrikatzavYou are lying. I was about to believe you until you started talking about Hamas eliminating Fatah supporters
@@omrikatzavsource: trust me bro I pulled this out my ass
@@ABDELBADia.yeah because they did!! That’s what Hamas does
Israel actually is dealing with it properly now though (finally). Hopefully they stick to their convictions and see this thru this time. They have to stay strong though and not let crazy people across the globe shame them into a pointless ceasefire. From the river to the sea, FOR ISRAEL!! That’s the only there will ever be lasting peace.
This video was amazing, thanks for diving into the history, I'll go check out the nebula drop
This is the best video of yours that I've seen, and also one of the best discussions of the conflict that I have seen as well. Thank you and good job!
This video is +- correct but ignores multiple facts to make Israel look bad. Fore example, it ignores multiple assault to Israel from Golans and "West Bank" (its Judea and Samaria if you ask me) between 1948 and 1967. It ignores that Israel windrow from Gaza was not only fore security reasons but as one sided peac deal to reduce arabic radicalism and as 2 state solution demo. Also it do not mention multiple terrorists attack before gaza blocked.
Also multiple Israel peace negotiations rejected by arabs including "2 state solution".
Also just spends much more time saying about stragle of arabic citizens and using emotion epitets to this and "think about children" but practically no worlds about Israeli who are living under constant terrorism treat now and was just under constant artillery fier and treat of total war. And i can see same algorithm in his other videos.
So i think that autor is trying to be objective but cant recognize that he is biased or he is just very good propagandists who do it intentionally - trying to pretend be balanced and so absolutely truthful source while harming Israel image in eyes of pro-Isreal and neitral public.
And all this is only in first half couse i do not bother look it longer.
@@marknezanutoYou are viewing history from a certain lens instead of as a whole. Your Zionism has been noted. I’m Jewish, and I prefer to view history through clear lenses.
@@persephone342 can you give any arguments other than “I’m right and you’re wrong”?
@@marknezanuto not right or wrong. Just perspective.
@@persephone342 meh. I can't see any argument why youre perspective is clear anyway.
You seem to leave out Egypt being offered Gaza back in the 70s and refusing it... they didn't just give it up, they made it clear that they would not take it
Egypt gets bribed with $1 billion dollars from America.
👍
Why would they take it?? Also many Palestinians dont want to be forced Egyptians
@@calm123not to mention the Egyptians treated the Palestinians badly when they were refugees.
Well yeah… it’s not Egyptian land it’s Palestinian land, of course they don’t want it.
Extremely informative.
Love your content brother. Just got Nebula
this was very much needed for some to realise that this was not a recent event
I remember hearing about the conflict as a child
30 years later and the end is nowhere in sight
He missed all the major details on why Israel and Palestine did what they did.
@@Contractor48 He acknowledged it tho
@@LuisSierra42 yeah, too long history to be condensed in a 1 hour video is pretty hard. I was not criticizing real life lore but telling the OP to look deeper.
No one thinks this is new.
The war is new. But this war is just another in a conflict filled with wars.
You forgot the talk about the first and second antifada which also greatly affected events in the region
Don't worry; soon, the Intifada will be globalized, and no one will not know its' true meaning.
Good luck, infidels.
He's clearly biased, so I don't think he "forgot" them, just omitted because it hurts the narrative he wants to support.
@@gergcas the nakba got only a passing mention. come on, there's just so much history and the video is already over an hour long.
@@gergcasI think you’re obviously biased because you don’t know 1/100th of the history of the conflict.
@@gergcas what side he is biased on?
Wow your knowledge of all this is crazy... Over an hr long video. Thank you for explaining everything.
the worst part was everyone went crazy for Gaza, but not Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.
You have no idea how loud we had to shout for that to happen. Unfortunately The situation in Palestine is the epitome of everything wrong in global politics so UN mfs simp over it
😂why to invade them?hypocrisy
A lot missing here but otherwise fantastic graphics. Would have liked to see a mention of the intifada, 2008 Olmert Plan and Clinton Parameters. It’s really key in understanding how those final stretches of diplomacy failed. Also the channel made some sweeping statements about Fatah changing its tune by 1995 when historians really dispute whether this ever actually happened. Definitely captured the Israeli settlement issue perfectly though. Thank you!
also missed the publicly available confession of Netanyahu boasting about stopping the Oslo Accords
@@CarlosVixil That’s also worth mentioning. Just strange how Ariel Sharon, Ehud Batak and Ehud Olmert barely got a mention. It’s like Rabin left office and Netanyahu has been PM since then.
right like it's one thing to say this video would be to long, and another to present things as a flawless continuum of facts. It paints a totally different picture.@@didnever1202
In which was a little clearer than I anticipated but thankfully it seems a little better and I'm quite keen for it was not the best place in India as Tatas was detected a few weeks away but it is a meme of my head to work on it now at work so hopefully u will be OK to call tomorrow to help u with your taste of my hair so you know what is a book you can u say you don't like it via Facebook or ur mum and you just don't know why you can't even talk it all in one place but it is very important for the people on their side and I have been targeting a couple more with my experience in this field but thankfully it seems like an idiot to do school in a couple hours but it's kinda cute now than I thought I should be able by any sugar or butter as a result for my diet but the treatment was a little bit different and a different one I used for it 😮and the world 😮was a little more like it when it is a little more complicated and the world will never change my head and all the things are in my heart as my room is
Wth did I just write
@@CarlosVixilyes his a n idiot.
Still the ones refusing peace every time and retaliating each offer with terror are and were always the Palestinians
As a Syrian citizen who is attempting really hard to stay objective and trying -again- really hard to tell the story in a non-biased way, I honestly think this is the most accurate video narrating the complexity of the middle-east as of now. I don't agree with the channel that this is barely scratching the surface. This is what I'm showing my friends when asked about the context. Foreign friends, Syrian friends, and whoever asks for context. You have no idea how easier this video made my life. I honestly, wholeheartedly, thank you.
Out of curiosity, can you tell me your unbiased opinion? I'm not looking to criticize or argue, only to understand. Do you think Israel shouldn't exist? Are you Shia or Sunni, or another branch of Muslim, if you're a Muslim? Do you think Iran should be trying to unite the Arab/Muslim world under a pure theocracy, with Muslim religious leaders at the front, or is it better to have commerce at the forefront of a country? what are your thoughts on what the west usually describe as terrorism and terrorist attcks? Do you agree or disagree with the terminology used? do you think that there are better ways to be noticed by a wider community, that doesn't involve death? Or is this the only way that people are able to be recognized in a wider community?
@@xsaxia2008 Okay where to begin.. Do I think Israel shouldn't exist? I do not think that Israel's existence in itself is the issue, I think it's the form of that existence that is what's problematic here. Do I believe an entity that targets civilians with air raids of dumb bombs should not exist? I absolutely do; Is that a call for its obliteration? It's absolutely not, it's a call to stop targeting civilians with air raids of dumb bombs. In regards to my religious background, I find it very interesting that you never asked about whether the religious component of my identity would be represented in my answer to begin with; i.e. you never asked whether my believes impacted my thoughts or not, and they do not, hence I do not believe it is relevant to at all to your questions. As for whether Iran "should" or "should not" be trying to unite the arab/muslim world under a pure theocracy, in the most abstract terms there are, it is legitimate for each and every state to have its regional ambitions as long as those ambitions are in line with the benefits of everyone in the region. The means of achieving those ambitions should always be closely inspected, and I do not agree with the means Iran is using to promote for its regional ambitions. This being said, I also do not agree with the way Turkey or Saudi Arabia or the UAE or even Israel are promoting their regional ambitions either. It's a clusterfuck of who's who in this game of thrones of the 21st century in here. To have the commerce -by which I assume the economy- at the forefront hasn't led this region to democracy, you have to also understand. Some of the most successful economies around here are the KSA's and the UAE's, and I don't need to tell you about their human rights records, just ask Qatar. Oh, and there's Qatar. On terrorism; The entire paradigm of war on terror that was a direct result of the 9/11 attacks is largely a repetition of the paradigm of the war on drugs started by Nixon himself. It's war on an undefined entity via undefined means, with demand that only grows larger as you disrupt its supply chain. I would have loved it had it been labeled as war on radicalism; oh my god that would have been the dream. But no, terrorism is a much more vague term that can literally be applied to anything. Finally, your last couple of questions on being noticed by a wider community. I do not think you understand how little it means to those committing so violently to their causes- how little it means for them to be noticed by a wider community. They are not doing it for visibility. It is not a publicity stunt for them.
@hazemraad3723 Fascinating. I apologize for assuming that your beliefs affect your ability to rationalize actions of others. I know there are a few groups such as Houthis and Hamas, and probably Iran too, that advocate for the destruction of Israel regardless of what Israel does or doesn't do, which is why I wanted your opinion on that topic. I do understand that every state has a "right" to have their own ambitions, and maybe I phrased the question poorly. I think your answer does answer the question I should have asked. the only thing that I don't quite understand is why people would resort to what the US call terrorism (i.e. intentionally attacking civilians) if it isn't to make a statement. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer everything, and I absolutely with you the best. Much love from the US ❤️
@@xsaxia2008, you may find it helpful to look at some of the terrorism that took place near the end of apartheid, in South Africa. Or consider other acts of terror, like eco-terrorism, or historical acts of terror, like the Boston Tea Party.
Their goals, and success or failures, may help make sense of these questions.
@hazemraad3723 amazing answers. Sending Love from Isreal ❤️ wish there will be less extremists in key positions around the world.
Why were the Palestinians kicked out of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan and Lebanon.... why will no arab country such as Egypt accept them ?
if you are talking about the ones at west bank i think its cause they just dont want to leave their home.
as for gaza`s citizens, they are not accepted cause a lot are terrorists (not all)
Why America does not accept Israelis and make small home land to them next to it far away from Palestine
How about (they already has a country named Palestine) that has been existing for thousands of years
Why Israel doesn’t let them has their land that has been agreed by UN since 1975 ?
Amazing overview, well done indeed!!
All the maps I'd seen elsewhere showed a contiguous region of the West Bank, as if that was all Palestinian controlled. I'd never heard of the Palestinian Archipelago. That gives more context for sure.
Maybe a nice friendly Arab country will let you seek asylum😮
@@Theplug926😂😂 what friendly arab country? I might be wrong but im pretty sure the Palestinians aren't welcome in any of the Arab nations.

I’m consistently amazed at how good these videos are. The best I’ve ever seen on geopolitics
You should have a look at a channel called Warographics. They have a 2 hour video about the history of this conflict that is also excellent. They are fantastic if you enjoy geopolitics stuff.
production value is nice, but the glaring omissions and misdirection is not
@@nathanlevesque7812any examples of such?
I've watched dozens of documentaries, videos, read many books and articles on the subject. This is pretty much the most non-partisan analysis we could have seen on a 1h video. By the way, I've no horse in this race, both sides made glaring mistakes. And a 2 state solution is the only one to lead to long lasting peace.
@@ConfusedGeriatric Yeah, he say's after the nakba, Palestinians "fled" to westbanks and gaza, but that ain't how it went down. They were rounded up and intentionally concentrated. There was a lot of stuff like that.
Great geopolitical analysis. Especially 2nd half.
Shockingly informing video... amazing work mate congratulations
I’m so glad you mentioned that Egypt *also* blockades Gaza, cause almost nobody actually mentions that part.
Yes Egypt is a party to the blockade of Gaza but in the current context this is only being criticized as a barrier to the #1 desired end plan in the Israeli war (mongering) cabinet of pushing Gaza's population into the Sinai dessert. In the context of aid - Egypt would allow all supplies in however if not agreed and inspected by Israel, the Rafah crossing will again be bombed by the IDF - so Israel's blockade and current siege also encompasses the Rafah crossing.
You didnt actually claim that the reason the Arabs states wouldn’t recognize israel is bc there wasn’t a Palestinian state? Cmon. Be honest. Be factual with why they didn’t want it to exist (they hate Jews)
Egypt is basically a US puppet that obeys every order Recieved so that it can get billions of dollars in us aid. What's the argument here?
@@baigelbaigel Push Gazans into the Sinai? Israel doesn't want Gaza, they even tried to sell it to Egypt who also didn't want it.
The egyptians know what they are doing . if they actually allowed the palestenians to enter egypt israel would tell all of gaza to evacuate and take over all of gaza
This is the most comprehensive (though not the largest) and probably most balanced explaination of the Arab Israeli conflict that I have watched. This video should be getting WAY more views. As others have mentioned, it is hard to see why the algorithm is not pushing the video more.
TH-cam doesn’t profit off of people educating themselves as much as they benefit from divisive political content that will garner engagement. It’s sad.
It literally has a million views, it's doing fine.
The algo won't push anything you have to pay for advertising. This guy wants to throw $150 at some advertising for 2 weeks, it would be getting WAYYY more attention!
It's not balanced, though.
It skips the fact that Israeli governments pursued serious peace negotiations until 2008, and that all Palestinian fractions initiated the second Intifada in 2000, despite negotiations, thus obstructing the progression towards full Palestinian independence, including the C areas.
That is a heavy piece of context to leave out, and a misrepresentation of Israeli actions and motivations.
Thankfully my algorithim brought me to it
Love hearing people explain this without an opinion interjected on one side or another. Appreciate the videos man.
Is it so? He clearly says Hamas massacred 1400 Israelis but Gaza Health Ministry run by Hamas claimed that 10,000 Gaza citizens are killed. It's so hypocritic of this man. He should understand it's Israel who is occupying the land of Palestine by brutal violence and killing a lot more Palestinians always. Check the statistics.
Good to know all value is subjective and badness doesn't correspond to actual metrics of death and suffering. Each side has some valid points after all ☝️🤓 The totally-not-imaginary ends justify the means, and the balanced arguments are not deluded nor affected by systematic human bias!
lol ..he does not say it to your face but he hiding the reason this war started is defnitly making hamas look like ppl who attack for no rason ..its not like they are defending their land from ocupation ....no .no they are bad ..we are good ..they are terrorist cuz they fight us .cuz we controle the media to look nice

@@shrinivasapte4610 Typical illiterate Indian.
Good video, but it is missing some key points:
1. Peace talks between Israel and PLO continued throughout the late 90's and only ended in 2000, with the burst of the second Intifada. This round of violence had led both sides to change their view and got the Israeli government to no longer consider Yasser Arafat a partner. There were more talks in 2007-8, but PM Olmert's resignation due to his trial, led to Netanyahu beeing reelected (getting a small majority in parlament. Israelis vote for parties, not directly to the PM position) and a change in policy.
2. In fact, Netanyahu (as well as Smotrich) had openly stated that he'd rather keep Hamas in power while going through short wars that end in a temporary settlement with them, than going into peace talks with their political rivals. This approach had been heavily criticised in Israel across the political spectrom and was utterly proven wrong on October 7th 2023.
The only break from this policy in the past decade, was during the year and a half when the Lapid-Bennet coalition was in power, and Israel went back to work closely with the Palastinian Preventive Security. Things returned to the previous state with Netanyahu back in power.
3. Over the past year, there had been mass demonstrations in Israel against Netanyahu due to his refusal to step down while going on trial for corruption (which is what Olmert did), as well as his controversial choice of cabinet. This increased with the current government pushing for a change in judicial system, weakening the Supreme Court's abilty to stop government actions that might be against the law (including international law). As part of that, many experts warned about the effect this could have on the preparedness of the Israeli army in case of war. Hamas stated this as a factor for the timing of the attacks, though they misjudged the willingness of HIzbullah and Iran to support them in the fight itself. They also failed to achieve much support from Israeli-Palestinians that actually show unprecedented support of Israel as most are more interested in getting better treatment as citizens, then risk living under Hamas rule.
I agree with every word
Sounds like Netanyaho has one objective, keep things uncertain…always keeping turmoil and thus fear and thus him in power.
Politicians tap dance between right and wrong because of the religious right that seem to always side with isreal
Was that a big ole bible that Biden had to put his hand on when pledging his oath to the presidency? That is so messed up in so many ways. This whole mess is because of that book in my opinion.
All these deals are made amongst a very few people….not the regular citizens of any of these places mentioned in this video…..just pointing out this simple fact.
Love how objective this is. It’s extremely hard to find educational content that Doesn’t heavily lean one way or the other in bias. Much respect
you are only crossing off the bombing from one side in fact. You cannot complain about what the solution is not without acknowledging whow these wars always start. Namely with the palastinians stating some kind of attack. There is no point talking about the benefits of a ceasefire or peace when you know it is always one side that initiates the conflict. You dont set the seeds for radicalizing the next wars pool if you let Israel finish off hamas. Which the world NEVER ALLOWS. So don't tell me what is proven not to work.
An unbiased teaching of WW2 would suggest the vastly unbalanced civilian casualtiess in germany for instance, to be an act that made the US and Britian the evil "side" or that we were evil to drop the bombs that ended the war in Japan. Those bombs did not "sow the seeds for the next war"
If the palastians were actually occupied it might make a difference, but they are not. They dont want a 2 state solution. They have been offered it over and over again and have refused. They want Israel destroyed. That is what they voted for. That is who represents them overwhelmingly.@@liminallilac
I disagree. Bias = "prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.".
Keyword here is unfair, once you take a look at the quantifiable stats, then you can form your opinion. personally, I think Israel is most definitely the oppressor; but for teachings to be biased completely to the Palestinian or Israeli side is just wrong. Let people see the complete truth for both sides and let them use their own critical thinking skills instead of being close-minded and only thinking your side is right. @@liminallilac
It’s not objective, if it was it would have mentioned the Palestinian vs Israeli death toll year to year. Israeli bias exists even in people who believe themselves to be objective!
@@liminallilac While Israel's security policies have been oppressive, they have also completely eliminated what used to be an epidemic of small bomb attacks. There ARE two sides, and it IS very complex. The real problem is Fatah and Hamas, who cancel elections regularly, denying Palestinians an opportunity to elect leaders who actually represent their interests and provide security so that responsibility for that security no longer falls on Israel.
This video is +- correct but ignores multiple facts to make Israel look bad. Fore example, it ignores multiple assault to Israel from Golans and "West Bank" (its Judea and Samaria if you ask me) between 1948 and 1967. It ignores that Israel windrow from Gaza was not only fore security reasons but as one sided peac deal to reduce arabic radicalism and as 2 state solution demo. Also it do not mention multiple terrorists attack before gaza blocked.
Also multiple Israel peace negotiations rejected by arabs including "2 state solution".
Also just spends much more time saying about stragle of arabic citizens and using emotion epitets to this and "think about children" but practically no worlds about Israeli who are living under constant terrorism treat now and was just under constant artillery fier and treat of total war. And i can see same algorithm in his other videos.
So i think that autor is trying to be objective but cant recognize that he is biased or he is just very good propagandists who do it intentionally - trying to pretend be balanced and so absolutely truthful source while harming Israel image in eyes of pro-Isreal and neitral public.
And all this is only in first half couse i do not bother look it longer.
Egypt didn't "agree" to block Gaza. Relations with Israel were never great. They had their own reasons to blockade Gaza.

Honestly the vast majority of arabs don't mind jewish people having their community as long as palestine is free from river to the sea
Israel is a western colony in arab land
If the conflict between Israel and Palestine was kept between Israel and Palestine alone it would’ve been sorted out ages ago. The fact that there are so many countries involved and so many different interests at play makes the prospect of peace extremely difficult.
It was never just between them. Even when Britain "left" they did so while arming one side at a terrifying rate and scale. The Nakba wasn't a reaction as suggested here. It was the plan.
Yeah, had everyone not piped in with their opinions then the genocide of the Palestinian people could have been complete by now. Now we have this long drawn out genocide.
I don't know what you mean by this given that, from the start, outside nations were what drove the migration to the new state of Israel and the subsequent conflict of land rights, human rights, and borders. The Zionist philosophy made the Nakba inevitable. And the extremist assassination and replacement of the Israeli government effectively tore up the Oslo Accords (which had external powers serving as mediators) that were the sole step to solving the conflict ever committed.
It seems that without any external forces, the Israeli government would have simply killed every Palestinian after tearing up the Oslo Accords. In that sense, external forces have prolonged the conflict, though maybe not for long.
It would not have.
Yes and no. No because Israel voted for a far-right government, while Gaza was taken over by a far-right terrorist group. That will always be an explosive mixture.
Also, Jerusalem was always Israels capital, which is why all embassies were there until the oil crisis created by the Arab countries.

@@32BitJunkie he mentions in the video that after rabin was assasinated, the Oslo peace treaties were gone and there was no other efforts to get to some agreement
This is not true, and very important, there were at least two other very important conventions wherebisrael offered even better “deals” to the Palestinians at camp David in 2000 and in 2008 , where the Palestinians refused to all Israeli offers and started another riots shortly after. In camp David Israel offered that 90% of the West Bank will be given to Palestine. To me this shows that the Palestinians do not strive for the 2 state solution, at least without the right of return

It may only scratch the surface, but that's about as far as any video, book or college course (shy of hefty prerequisites alongside even) might do with the overall issue. How to approach it contextually in the first place? I'd rate this effort as yours as stellar in what it contains and leaves out, based on my own search to understand all the history intricacies etc--and I've got a developed geopolitical view, and feel I understand the thinking around the term. I think this one video can do a packs a lot into all the right areas to consider on recent events in particular
This might be the longest video you published on TH-cam, but the conflict has been going on for one hundred years.
Obviously a tremendous amount of factual and historical information to get "right" and what "right" is, often depends on whom you talk to, but I think RLL did a darn good job at putting the info about this conflict out in a relatively straightforward way. By far beyond what any news would do service to cover! This definitely gave me some new perspectives, thank you.
Afaik Israel says it’s 1200 deaths now and not 1400 as RLL mentioned. And apparently some hostages were killed by the IDF. Still. Mass murder of non-combatant civilian population is an act of terrorism regardless of whether it’s Hamas or IDF. There’s no justification for it ever. Even if you were subjected to acts of terrorism for 7 hours or 7 decades and no matter what the goal is. Which is why people blame Hamas for the most recent escalation and blame the Israeli government for Hamas.
His siding with the Palestinians is clear, though.

30:00 russia attacked Ukraine so this is annexation but Israel never attacked Syria or Jordan to take their land. Jordan occupied Jerusalem and kicked out all the jews from there who lived there for centuries so Israel took this in the war that arab countries launched against Israel. Golan heights were taken in response of Syrian attack of Israel to protect Israel from further attacks. These lands shouldn't have been called "occupied" in the first place as those countries lost that land in the attack they actually initiated.

Seriously, as a Palestinian non-religious mind, I claim at least to me that I try to be as objective and fair as possible, and I claim that also this is one of the most academic videos on the conflict I’ve ever seen, I still live in the region too, I do see lots of ppl debate the subject morally according to human rights which to me seems wrong because it’s to my brainwashed ass at least, one of the most complex conflicts ever, and debating it morally rather than politically seems so blind.
While I really want to add a lot to this video and hint some great historical topics about my country, I’d hardly do it unbiased because I’ve had my fair share of life loss, don’t get me wrong I’m a human too, I do have a Palestinian flag as my pfp on most social media but like after all, as of politics go or academically, we all know that’s not how shit works and objectivity is what we seek, so might as well stay silent and thank you for this great video, really good efforts were put into it.

Thank you for changing the thumbnail. Colouring Gaza green meanwhile israel is coloured red
The thing to note on the Golan Heights is that it’s not just another piece of land - as its name suggests it is a mountainous area commanding extensive views over the Syrian and Israeli plains on either side, meaning that people living in those plains are vulnerable from rocket/artillery strikes if an enemy occupies the Heights.
Hence, for Israel to hand it back to Syria (say in return for recognition and a final peace deal) they would have to be 100% certain that a future Syrian government wouldn’t backtrack and remilitarise the Heights, and let’s be honest given the chaotic state of Middle Eastern politics that’s a strong possibility.
There should be international pressure to make it a zero military zone, that way neither side would want it so much and there could be real talks about who should have it. (provided that theres a clause that if theres any military activity the other can attack)
I just think that that area is just not interesting. The people there don't want to be part of Syria for obvious reasons.
Why do settler colonialism to begin with 😂
He also fails to mention that Syria actually attacked Israeli citizens living the the Jordan Valley from the Golan Heights and this was part of the events the preceeded the 6 Days War and why the Golan Heights is now a part of Israel.
He consistently fails to provide important context throughout the video.
Golan is also the headwaters for the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River. Control of water is very important in a desert. As for rockets, Israel and Syria both have longer range rockets (Israel has nukes for some of them, Syria has chemicals for some of them), so location doesn't matter as much as it once did.
It's amazing how complex this topic is. You went into enormous detail, and yet still had to skip over entire wars to not have it be 10 hours long.
Great reporting I would say!
The solution is pess complex. Compromise. Israel is winning by compromising and offering compromise time and time again. That makes em look way better and a better partner than hamas animals. Fatah too if they play it right could actually win by keepiquiet then coorperate.
Why is it "complex"? It's quite simple really. Palestine in under illegal occupation and all resistance is valid against apartheid occupation
It’s not complex at all. That’s like saying Nazism and Hitler was complex. Which is Israel and Zionism today. There’s a clear right and wrong. It takes having two brain cells and a humane soul. That’s it.
It is not complex . Israel is an oppressor a colonizer and believe me they will try soon or late to colonize more territory from other neighbors: this is how colonizer think and act especially when it is a religious colonization (they think that their god gave them the land from the Mideterranean sea to the river in Iraq ) @@arthurhunt642
Looks like they have new shoes and clothing. The problem is, they want rockets.
Excellent and balanced summation of the entire conflict.
When you throw numbers around of Isreali Jews, Palestinians citizens, and refugees it's really important to explain the special status of Palestinian refugees as opposed to any other group in the world: The Palestinians are the only group of refugees in the world where the status of refugee is passed down to the children of original refugee (and their children as so forth).
This has massive implications and obviously affects the numbers you mention.
Yes, because they're all either occupied and unfree, or blockaded and sieged, or oppressed and tortured
They're refugees, it's not a monopoly they have on the title, but the fact that all of them are living under the same conditions, caused by similar situations

@@ElohAraphel for the people that were displaced that is true. But next gen are not regarded as refugees according to the UN. Unless they are specifically Palestinians.
Also they are the only group of refugees that have their own UN body dedicated to them.
@@AvivBH What you are stating is completely wrong. The Palestinians do have a special status but not in the way you believe. You stated that "The Palestinians are the only group of refugees in the world where the status of refugee is passed down to the children of original refugee". This is completely and utterly nonsense. Let's take the Rohingya Genocide as an example. Many of them were expelled into neighboring Bangladesh. They live in camps. Refuge camps. Some Rohingyas are being born in these camps as we speak. According to you, these children are not refugees. What are they then?
I'll tell you what they are and then explain to you why the Palestinians are still refugees so you can understand. According to the UNHCR (not specific to Palestinians), a person stops being a refugee after voluntary repatriation, local integration, or resettlement. In other words, you need to be a voluntary citizen in another country. Countries don't want refugees, and they most definitely will not simply award citizenship to millions of them. They'd rather leave them in refugee camps and have the UN take care of it. This is why Turkey has 3.7 million refugees, their descendants included. This is also why Egypt will never open the border to Gaza and shoot itself in the foot. Furthermore, the country of Palestine doesn't really exist. The people are all occupied and such can never be integrated. Thus, they will be refugees forever. They and their kids. They have a special body dedicated to them because they are special. Nowhere else in this world is there a country completely occupied, with all its current and future citizens included.
The Rohingya children in Bangladesh are refugees, just like the Syrian children born in camps in Turkey, and the Palestinian children born in Gaza. If you read something online, don't just believe it. The internet is full of misinformation.

That would be quite the irony, if it wasn't so sad.
Thanks for the top notch history recap!
No. Israel established a border with Gaza as if they were two neigbouring countries with a border between them, say USA and Mexico, Dominical Republic and Haiti, Russia and all its neigbours, etc.
In addition, Israel controls Gaza's air and sea, true, but everything they need comes via the land border crossings thu Israel. This 'blockade' is a fancy word, but it's not that. They can bring in everything that's not weapons.
Gaza also has a border with Egypt, which is also closed, but that's due to Palestian - Egyptian own problems.

@@sangwaraumo most borders between countries are like that. Especially enemy countries. You may be from Europe, and familiar with different borders, but Europe's borders are not the norm in the world. Israel did let people from Gaza in (hospital treatments and work). Israel doesn't have to do more for people who want and try to kill Israelis. Gaza also has a border with Egypt and its own relations with Egypt, where people's ins and depended on Egypt, and if Hamas ruined its relations with Egypt, this has nothing with Israel The control for what goes in and out was for weapons only. True, if people take condoms, fill it with explosives and throw across the border to Israel, condoms are considered weapons. As with many other things they weaponized. But the other stuff, they had no limits on those.
@lizberezin2919 No, they're not. They are usually walled at certain popular crossings. Continuous walls are the exception. And an even rarer exceptions is that the whole border all around is wall.
It's an open air prison and Israel is the cruel warden, with Egypt's acquiescence. That's just what it is.

They'd rather put their hearts into either the hostage situation or the kids of Gaza rather than stepping back, taking a deep breath, and realize why things are much more complex and convoluted than their childish claims and protest suggest
I don't think this viedo is perfet...
You don't have to agree with me, but I believe that the Israeli perspective is not fully understood by many around the world. Understanding this perspective is in my opinion important, not only that you could have better judgment of the situation, but also if you want to change the mind of the Israelis themselves.
So here is my rebuttal to the video, from the viewpoint of someone considered a secular, Tel-Avivian centrist in Israeli politics.
3:50, the claim that Israel gave Palestinians a 24-hour notice to evacuate is a misinterpretation of the Israeli warning, that was propagated through the media. In reality, Israel provided the Palestinians with several days to leave northern Gaza. Even after the commencement of the ground invasion, Israel periodically opened safe corridors out of northern Gaza for a few hours.
16:35, Netanyahu's justification for delaying the Oslo Accords was twofold. First, there was the continuation of terror attacks against Israel, (albeit at a decade low), which directly contradicted the terms of the agreement. Second, was the Palestinian refusal to cease incitement against Israel and, specifically, to amend the section calling for Israel's destruction in the Palestinian National Covenant. For that Netanyahu famously said "If they give, they'll get, if they don't, they won't".
Furthermore, between Netanyahu's terms in office (1999-2009), at least two centrist/left-leaning Israeli governments attempted to revive the Oslo Accords. The Barak government (1999-2001) made efforts at the 2000 Camp David Summit, which, according to Israel and supported by President Clinton, was foiled by the Palestinians. Subsequently, the second Intifada (which in Arabic as you said may mean "civil uprising", but in Hebrew means "suicide bombers everywhere") in 2001 halted the peace process. The Olmert government (2006-2009) proposed an independent Palestinian state including East Jerusalem, but, as per the Israeli narrative, this offer was met with Palestinian stalling.
18:00, I have a problem with the settlements as well.
18:50, You completely overlooked the ideological motivations behind Israel's 2005 disengagement from Gaz. Many in Israel, (including most of my family, I was a kid) especially on the left, hoped that this move would rekindle peace negotiations (which it did to some extent). That is why the election of Hamas in 2006 was such a blow.
19:40, referring to Fatah as 'secular' is very a relative statement.
21:00, it is important to note that while Fatah recognized Israel's right to exist within the 1967 borders, they did not relinquish the claim for the return of all refugees from the 1948 war and their descendants to Israel proper. This stance implies that the two-state solution would end up as the two Palestinian states solution, as the refugees' return would potentially make Palestinians a majority, or at least significant minority in Israel proper.
22:10, the purpose of the Israeli siege, whether solely to prevent Hamas from acquiring advanced Iranian weapons, or also to exert pressure on the civilian population, is complex. Some politicians have said that applying pressure on Hamas was part of the rationale, though this was never formalized as official policy. Also, the predominant view among the Israeli military leadership was for the most part that a prosperous Gaza would be less inclined to engage in hostilities against Israel. The translation of this philosophy into actual policy on the ground, and whether the siege was an unintended consequence of the military blockade though, is beyond my capacity to deduce.
27:00, Trump's recognition of Jerusalem is much more nuanced and somewhat contradictory. It declared Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but also suggested that East Jerusalem should become the future capital of Palestine in the future.
32:00 (Nearly) everyone in Israel, including most of Netanyahu's supporters, didn't truly believe that Netanyahu would annex the Jordan Valley. I recall how, while the international media watched in horror, counting the days, the Israeli media did the same, but mockingly (from Netanyahu's left and right).
37:00 I struggle with equating the annexation of the Golan Heights from one of history's most malevolent regimes (the Syrian regime) during a war initiated (Israel attacked first, but after months of increasing pressure) by Arab states, publicly aiming to destroy Israel, to Russia's invasion of a neighboring peaceful state.
40:30 I don't believe that Arab states' reactions have ever been the primary factor in Israel's international deterrence. Its ties with America and Europe have always been more significant. Additionally, acknowledging Palestinian animosity and terrorism as major obstacles to peace, the relations between Israel and Arab states could significantly contribute to fostering peace. For Hamas, however, the possibility of peace is just a further incentive to attack Israel.
52:00 It's accurate that demographic shifts are nudging Israel towards more religious and right-wing tendencies, but this trend is also driving many soft right-wing voters, particularly Netanyahu's supporters, towards the left. Netanyahu's "magic" was to bring together moderate and extreme right-wing voters under one coalition. He began losing this ability, which partly led to his loss in 2021, and recent polls suggest, especially after the recent massacre, he has entirely lost this ability, (at least for now).
58:30 It's difficult to predict what Saudi Arabia might demand from Israel once the war ends. The Arab world's rhetoric typically changes post-conflict compared to during active conflict with Gaza. This war's scale might be too significant for a quick reversal, but post-war interests are likely to remain consistent with those held before the war.
Additionally, an overlooked point: Israel has consistently stated it would end the siege on Gaza if Hamas disarmed. And there are many claims that there have been advanced discussions on this topic. Saudi Arabia and Egypt are extremely furious with Hamas for ruining all of that.
I believe the video's main point, that the attack was intended to halt Israeli progress, is incorrect. I think this action was aimed to disturb the burgeoning peace between Israel and the Arab world, because it could extend to peace with Palestine - which is what Hamas truly fears.
You’d have to be a complete fool to believe that Iran didn’t know and approve of Hamas’ attack!😂
Oh how I wish my high school history classes were this interesting and well composed.
Rather than memorizing dates of battles, we could have discussed social issues and solutions to better understand how these situations are created and sustained.
Geopolitics is very complex and mostly self-interest propelled. Every country acts towards where they have interest and where they will get Geopolitical advantage over other countries. Thank you for this masterpiece I can't imagine the hardwork that have gone into this eye-opening masterpiece.
Acting in self interest as a political entity isn't a bad thing but there are lines that shouldn't be crossed. For example, colonization and ethnic cleansing for the creation and expansion of an ethno-supremacy state that is exclusionary to an indigenous population is something we can all come together to condemn and stand against. Motives such as racism, fascism, nationalism, and greed are the usual culprits for what drives nations to 'cross the line'. Luckily we have Geneva conventions, an international judicial court and international laws. Unfortunately, if you are a world superpower you don't have to abide by any of these laws or be held accountable. In the meantime the victor and colonizer dictates the narrative and writes the history. So we live in a world where we accept bias that defines a region (the entire middle east) as backwards and barbaric. And it justifies western backed violent crime against colonized peoples.
Geopolitics is complex but humanity and morality are not.
It's really not the most complex topic. People fighting over land. Religion. Welcome to humanity. People insisting that this particular topic is especially 'complex' over the others is part of the problem.
Doesn't help that the UN is an utterly worthless "governing" body.
@@theprudent0ne"Morality and humanity are not complex."
Oh, well, that clears that up, then!
@@theprudent0neYou should look into how many people in the United States government have dual citizenship with Israel.
38:07 What’s also pretty significant about Sudan recognizing Israel is that they did so with Israel having previously helped break up their country. The world’s newest country - South Sudan - declared independence from Sudan, a country that not only didn’t recognize Israel but had also joined in several wars against Israel as well. Israel likewise supported the separatist movement in the southern part of the country, let refugees from the region live in Israel and after independence helped South Sudan get international recognition. The fact Sudan would ever recognize Israel seemed unlikely, but as you see now it wasn’t impossible.
There is a war going in Sudan right now between the Sudanese Army and the Rapid Support Forces Militia. This RSF is backed up by Israel.
The U.S. agreed not to oppose Sudan's claim to western Sudan, and gave them 1.3 billion dollars. Thank you Jared Kuschner, Trump's envoy and son-in-law to make peace in the Mideast.
Great video but please try not to be so biased.
Having in mind what PLO did in Jordan and Lebanon no wonder their neighbors don't help them.
The jordan government is a crook that lives off of foreign aid to survive. They are forced to follow America and their funders. 99% of Jordanians don’t like israel. The reason why Palestinians refugees here is because of israel.
This is a semester's (at least) worth of history in about an hour. I feel like I need to sit down and take copious notes!! Thanks for the research and SUBSCRIBED!!
This video is +- correct but ignores multiple facts to make Israel look bad. Fore example, it ignores multiple assault to Israel from Golans and "West Bank" (its Judea and Samaria if you ask me) between 1948 and 1967. It ignores that Israel windrow from Gaza was not only fore security reasons but as one sided peac deal to reduce arabic radicalism and as 2 state solution demo. Also it do not mention multiple terrorists attack before gaza blocked.
Also multiple Israel peace negotiations rejected by arabs including "2 state solution".
Also just spends much more time saying about stragle of arabic citizens and using emotion epitets to this and "think about children" but practically no worlds about Israeli who are living under constant terrorism treat now and was just under constant artillery fier and treat of total war. And i can see same algorithm in his other videos.
So i think that autor is trying to be objective but cant recognize that he is biased or he is just very good propagandists who do it intentionally - trying to pretend be balanced and so absolutely truthful source while harming Israel image in eyes of pro-Isreal and neitral public.
And all this is only in first half couse i do not bother look it longer.
If Israel cedes the high ground they e claimed in Golan Heights and West Bank, it would be the end of Israel. They will NEVER willingly let go of these strategically important geographic areas
Excellent Video ! Very Well Researched !
This was very well made. I know 1 hour barely scratches the surface of this conflict, but I feel like I finally understand the general trends and pressures on each side!
Antisemitism is a Catholic and Germanisation effort against their tolerant Polish-Lithuanian neighbors, it didn't happen just by Russia and "later in Germany" like described in the beginning of the video.
This is very biased against Israel. Full of lies, and promotes Jew-hatred.
I was very pro Israel but i didn't even know most of the west bank is occupied by Israel, after this video i changed my mind and agree Israel has been a massive asshole to Palestine. I still condemn hamas tho.
Its weird to me that you had a side without knowing the full picture… I mostly support both Israel and Palestine, but people like you who form opinions before knowing the full picture are so fucking scary and dangerous.
@@Nooticus who me?
Fantastic video as always, would there be any way in future to add gradient the map keys for my colourblind self though?
Seems pretty simple to me,thanks for the clarification
I’m a big fan of your work and deeply appreciate the way you illuminate complex historical and modern conflicts with great care and insight. I’m writing to request a video on a subject close to my heart: the 1971 Genocide in Bangladesh. This event, pivotal for Bangladesh’s independence, led to immense loss and suffering, (3M k!ll3d and 300k R word) yet remains underrepresented in global consciousness.
Your ability to present such topics with respect and depth could significantly honor the memory of the victims and educate a wide audience about its significance. A video from you on this topic would not only shed light on a crucial piece of history but also serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of remembrance and understanding.
Your work makes a difference, and I believe this topic could greatly benefit from your thoughtful approach.
Can u get me some money I’m a kid with single mother trying to take care of my mom
Note at the 27 mins 40 seconds mark that Australia under the Morrisson govt has also recognised Jerusalem as Israeli. I don't think our new Albanese govt has changed this.Also think PNG has recognised Jerusalem as Israeli too and there's zero chance Israel is ever going to let Jerusalem get divided again. Also at the 52 minutes 40 seconds mark Judea and Samaria are not just the right wing Israeli names but the historical and geographicallly more accurate ones. _(Judean mountains & desert , Samaritan people and religion, etc..)_ NB. the West Bank term comes form the previous now abandoned Jordanian claim to that area with East Bank referring to the rest of Jordan and which the Jordanians renounced in 1988.
Excellent video. The runtime was daunting, but efficiently paced. This definitely broadened my understanding of the situation.
thank you so much for this comprehensive history - love your channel as always. i wish more people watched your channel, so they could have a more contextualized and nuanced view of headlines

@@2MinuteHockey Don't forget about other religions, like anti muslim in Europe especially in the Netherlands!
@@TheBLACKDAYxD Don't forget "Black Pete" and that The Netherlands was a brutal colonial power and made Indonesia pay "colonial debt" for it's freedom in the billions

In this comment, I will focus only on the part regarding possible Saudi-Israeli Normalization:
I think this part wasn't given the focus it deserves- the entire West will benefit heavily from a Saudi-Israeli Normalization with Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, and the USA being the main countries benefiting from this peace treaty
A decrease in oil and natural gas prices: Once this peace treaty is signed- Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel will be able to construct several pipes stretching from the Saudi wells to the Israeli Naval Ports in Ashdod and Haifa, and from these 2 naval ports to America and Europe. These pipes will decrease the transportation cost of both resources- this decrease in transportation costs will be reflected in both a decrease in oil and natural gas prices and an increase in the income of Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Jordan.
Saudi access to Jerusalem: as the video did state, the Iranian regime (Shia) is aspiring to become the leader of the Arab world, currently the Saudis (Sunni) are considered as the leaders of the Arab world for the exact reasons the video stated. A peace treaty between Saudi Arabia and Israel will strengthen the status of the Saudis in the Arab world, theoretically- the Saudis could open their embassy or even a “Special diplomatic office” in Jerusalem, this would be an important symbolic foothold of the Saudis in Jerusalem, a picture of HM MBS praying in the Al-Aqsa mosque might be the picture which symbolizes the Saudi victory in its’ battle with Iran over the leadership of the Arab world.
“The Abraham alliance”: No country knows how to intercept missiles like Israel, The Israeli military industry invented and is producing several ADSs (Air Defense System) which the IDF is using with great success. The Saudis would love to have access to these ADS which will increase the Saudi ability to defend themselves against Iran and its proxies. The USA might even push Israel, The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, and other countries to form a NATO-like alliance- “The Abraham alliance”. This alliance can be a sufficient answer to Iran’s axis of resistance.
