Just here to tell you all that Sam has a channel exclusively talking about Israeli elections from 1920 to 2019, called Elections Israel. And he never even told us about it
what a tragedy for Trumpledore, such a fascinating life, living in many nations, fighting in many battlefield, influencing and creating new concept like Kibbutz system, only to die in the middle of nowhere in a forgotten engagement
I remember seeing a show, I think turkish, where Herzl is portrayed notably more insane than he actually was, but overall far more opposed to the Ottoman government than he actually was.
You expect that to be objective. I lisyen to a Turkish professor -- of a top American university, no less --- saying that Mosad murdered Attaturk. Insane, but insanity is welcomed in much of the world.
@@zjzr08Are they allies? maybe a few decades ago they were, but under Erdogan’s reign, i believe relations have gotten worse. I mean just look at their stance towards Hamas, they openly support and defend that group.
At around 5:00 - important point of clarification - it was not clear that the state promised to the Hashemites included Palestine. That caused contention between the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence and the Balfour Declaration. McMahon himself said the following ""I feel it my duty to state, and I do so definitely and emphatically, that it was not intended by me in giving the pledge to King Hussein to include Palestine in the area in which Arab independence was promised."
McMahon was trying to cover his tracks; if you look at the correspondence in chronological order, there's no reason to assume it didn't include Palestine.
In the video named "The Third Aliyah" would be interesting to hear more about the aliyah itself, how many people actually came (and what was the quotas after 1921), where from and where they primarily settled.
We're gonna come back to that in the next episode! The short answer was that around 7,500 arrived per year, but most of the "olim" were in fact returning refugees who'd fled during the war. The quota for immigration visas was 16,500 per year, but the number of visas claimed was actually closer to _1,000_ per year, which was equal to the number of Jews _leaving_ Palestine because life there still sucked.
This episode was very sad for me - so many of the characters we grew to admire in the previous episodes were killed, mistreated or ignored. So much good undone, so much potential never seen. What should have been a glorious celebration of the end of Imperial tyranny became a bloodbath. But Sam continues to do a fantastic job of telling this story - and in an extremely compelling way at that. Thank you!
@@SamAronow I will add; I’m not 100% certain that description of his appearance is accurate (as there is a bias of, from what I’ve seen, of where the information comes from; which I’m sure you will encounter (it’s in relation to his Nazi collaboration). but I do think it’s probably true; given the characteristics described are not so rare. I also don’t know if he dyed his beard or not; as it is said that the Islamic prophet Mohammed dyed his beard red; and imitation of the practices is very common; although I don’t know about this in particular. Alternatively; he could just have had a red beard naturally)
But yeah it’s both entirely possible to be true; and the only description of his appearence I have seen. And also possibly false; given the posssible dubiousness of where the information comes frkm
Usually I can tell in old black-and-white photos (especially after 1920) who has red hair due to the unique quality of how the light scatters on it (Storrs, for example). This apparently wasn't one of those instances. And you are correct; I found a description of his hair and eyes in his _New York Times_ obituary.
One gets the impression that King and Crane were abusing the data to tell Wilson what they thought he wanted to hear, but maybe I'll save that for the recap video.
Given recent public “intellectual” debates the characterization of Balfour as an antisemite of a certain type is interesting. Do you share the opinion of others that Balfour changed his antisemitic notions during the time between 1905 and 1917?
No. He continued to argue that Zionism and Communism were both expressions of the same racial impulse and that by facilitating one you could prevent the other. Ironically he also thought Britain had done its job with the Balfour Declaration and should withdraw from Palestine ASAP.
@@zjzr08 The conspiracy theory aspects of prejudice against Jews. Two things happened, which were influxes of immigration, and social upheavals and conflicts, which were all scapegoated onto Jews as the cause. It was an English and American prejudice as well as Russian and German one - but in the early 20th century it was predicted Germany was more likely to become a Marxist nation and Russia a fascist one. ''In Russia he is charged with being the source of Bolshevism, an accusation which is serious or not according to the circle in which it is made; we in America, hearing the fervid eloquence and perceiving the prophetic ardor of young Jewish apostles of social and industrial reform, can calmly estimate how it may be. '' ''As it is possible that German conclusions upon this matter may be received doubtfully by peoples whose public opinion has been shaped by Jewish influence, it may help to quote George Pitter-Wilson, of the London Globe, who wrote early in April, 1919, "Bolshevism is the dispossession of the Christian nations of the world to such an extent that no capital will remain in the hands of the Christians, that all Jews may jointly hold the world in their hands and reign wherever they choose." As early as the second year of the war, German Jews were preaching that Germany's defeat was necessary to the rise of the proletariat, at which time Strobel declared, "I openly admit that a full victory of the country would not be in the interest of the Social Democrats." Everywhere it was preached that "the exaltation of the proletariat after a won victory is an impossibility." These instances, out of many, are cited not to reopen the military question but to show how the so-called German Jew forgot loyalty to the country in which he lived and joined the outside Jews in accomplishing the collapse of Germany, and not merely, as we shall see, to rid Germany of militarism, which every thoughtful German desired, but to throw the country into such confusion as to permit them to seize control.'' - Henry Ford, ''The International Jew'', 1929. Why else would Hitler have had a life-long vendetta against the USSR? It is also convenient for the conspiracy theorists in that Marx's own family and several of the founding Marxist revolutionaries were of Jewish heritage. Letting the ''nationalist'' Jews have more power seemed a way to soften ''internationalist'' Jews with radical intentions for change to the system of Capital (or non-nationalist, international control of Capital) either way so Christians couldn't control it (Marx wanting to do what the murderers of Christ wanted.. to abolish theology from society and in place put an entirely anti-religious political system, often Judaism was conflated with a materialistic, greedy and anti-spiritual, atheistic worldview.)
I don't see such a big difference. All the areas to the east of said Syrian kingdom were Arab. If you assume that the Mandate system was temporary and these Arab lands would (eventually) gain independence, which did happen albit in slightly different borders, the only real difference was that Hussein Bin Ali would not get to rule the all area. Considering that Bin Ali was old, his sons already took the actual administrative tasks from him, were on bad terms with him, the Arab world was full of local leaders that never agreed to Bin Ali ruling all of them, and even after the British exiled him to Cyprus, all the Arabs could always decide that he is their King and/or Kalifa - they just didn't. It doesn't seem like the British took that much from the Arabs.
Hey Sam, I know you don't like Herzl, but to say "taken aback" is an exaggeration. Yeshe himself said that if he's read the "Autoemancipation" he wouldn't have attempted to write "Der Judenstaat", but in the introduction of the book itself Herzl writes that his idea is nothing but knew.
@@DougWinfield Why do you think that? Have you read his diaries? Accounts of other people? If that is the case, why a call to the Jews of North Africa to join the Congress was made? You think Herzl had much lees empathy that he actually had.
2:36 Could you further elaborate on this estimation? 100k seems way too much of a death count, esspecially when (according to wikipedia) the total population of palestine in 1914 was 689k, and in 1922 it was 752k. Overall great video!
>had died pointlessly, at the hands of people who didn't know or care who they were They knew they were Jews. And that was enough. And that's the point.
I enjoy your videos and I’ve always been impressed with your attention to detail, but sometimes I feel kind of confused how certain events that you cover like these riots gave way to things like the 3rd Aliyah and how the politics was influencing the bigger events and societal changes…either way keep going man it’s really interesting history
36:19 I don't think that's where sarafand is, also at 40:28 I think the tiny neighborhood of kerem karaton in the yemenite vineyard was part of tel aviv and also that was definitely not the urban border of tel aviv and there were many neighborhoods north of Allenby and south of jaffa road, and most importantly I am really shocked by your portrayal of Haj amin al husseini and of the massacres in general. He very clearly continued to commit massacres afterwards even though you said that he decided to move to legitimate politics, you showed arab and Jewish casualties side by side as if they are equal and ones aren't the murderers of the others, and you went out of your way to refer to them as "riots" and highlight Jewish counterviolence.
I have so many source maps for these illustrations that there's no question of where the urban boundary was, what was built in Tel Aviv when, or where Sarafand was. Husseini went back and forth; it wasn't just a big, amorphous "1920s" and that will become very clear in this series clear. As to the casualties, revenge killings are killings, so deal with it.
@@SamAronow you're right about sarafand I was confused, but I have a big map of tel aviv in my room of the 1930 Palestine survey, which clearly shows the boundary to be from the sea along Daniel Street, north around 5 meters west of hakovshim street and then east along Nehemiah street to hakovshim, north to elyashiv street, north on kanfei nesharim, east on rabbi meir, south west on the Carmel until hamered street and then from there everything you said, so both mahane yosef and kerem karaton were part of tel aviv though this is so comically pedantic my main point was about Haj amin al husseini
לגבי המשפט של טרומפלדור (טוב למות בעד ארצנו) - להגיד שהוא לא אמר אותו זה סתם להטעות. יכול להיות שהוא לא אמר אותו, ויכול להיות שכן. יש הרבה אנשים שהעידו שהוא אמר את המשפט הזה אז כל הנושא הזה זה כבר עניין של אמונה. אני חושב שהיה ראוי שציינת שיש אמונה רווחת שהוא אמר את המשפט, אבל האם זה נכון או לא נכון? תפרט יותר למה עדיין אוהב את הסרטונים שלך :)
Thank you for the enlightening and important videos! Can you do a video on judaism from the middle east? Like morocco, tunisia, iraq, iran, yemen.. thank you Sam
I think the last numbered one was the Fifth Aliyah at which point the State of Israel was well established and Aliyah is a tradition among Jews, mostly Zionists but not entirely. General pilgrimage to the holy land is encouraged in Judaism for the purpose of visiting the Western Wall.
@@nathanlee8981 it was a self-centered question. My wife, son and I are waiting for our letters from the Jewish Agency, to make our Aliyah this summer. G-d Willing I wanted to be able to say something like: We are part of the 42nd Aliyah It makes sense that only the waves before the founding of the state got counted. But I was thinking of those who made Aliyah fleeing the Arab countries. the Yemenite (which was at a different time), FSU and Ethiopian Aliyot, etc...
@@MichaBerger I believe the Yemenite Aliyah was the 5th Aliyah but this is all from memory. I could be totally wrong but last I looked I believe the historical numbered Aliyah is the 5th. I'm not sure if they do numbers to this day but feel free to look it up, I'm sure a Zionist historian could provide context. Be safe though !
After the establishment of Israel, the Aliyahs we'rent counted by numbers, but by operations/countries. The last wave was because of the Russo-Ukrainian war. From both countries.
Good video overall, but in 21:19 How was the fact that all of modern Jordan was inside the borders of the Mandate not talked about? 33:49 Also, to put this much more explicitly, this was a Anti-Semitic, Misogynist, mass murder.
The British didn't take control of the Transjordan until the French invaded inland Syria in the summer, and then only as a temporary measure until the Cairo Conference. This will be touched upon in the next video.
Great video, very informative. Hayehudim Baim just had a sketch showing Weizmann using Balfur's antisemitism to pressure him into making his decleration. Obviously, it's exeggerated for the sake of comedy, but it's interesting that until yesterday, I never heard of that. Now, within 24 hours, two different channels tought me that I was wrong. After some reading in old articles around the web, it seems that Balfur actualy believed in a global Jewish conspiracy.
I wonder if you have a Palestinian colleague you might think about partnering up for some of these episodes that are coming on Israel/Palestine. I am not impugning you at ALL here, I think you do a good job of not slipping out of history and into polemic. In this tender and fractured moment, though, hearing two partner presenters telling each other this history through the lenses of their communities (which I think, with deep respect, is what you do) would be fascinating, and needful, maybe even healing. I don’t envy you the work you face as we enter the 20th century. Thank you for it.
So there was only one parliament and it happened to have been the autonomously elected Jewish one. There was no Palestinian one because the Palestinian leaders had no interest in democracy. It's good foreshadowing to further things to come...
This flag was never actually used except by some individuals in the 1930s. Its origin is unclear but seems to be based on one of the many design proposals made by Herbert Samuel around this time.
the concept of palestinian independent state already being called ever since Palestinian arab congress in haifa in 1920, the identity and distinction of palestinian arab identities has been known even longer than that
It's been over 9 months. I love this channel, and I might have just missed it but in case I didn't: Doesn't this channel has ANYTHING to say about one of the worst pogroms in all of Jewish history? The silence is deafening. #BRINGTHEMHOMENOW
Very interesting subject and video, especially with regards to the Zionist representation at the Paris peace conference. Although marred by an atrocious account of the cause of the Left SR uprising. Complete with a butchered misapplication of what democratic centralism means and how the term was used.
Looking forward to the 30s and 40s Palestine to Israel period is going to be a bear. A lot of work on your part, controversy and inconvenient truths. Add WW!II and the Holocaust and it's going to be a slog.
This is a great question and I hope someone asks it for the recap. But in the event no one does: I think it was a bit like Salem Witch Trials. The tension was there and _something_ was going to break it.
@@SamAronow Thanks for attempting an answer, Sam. What if's ara always tricky of course, but I think you are right about the tension. Although the people involved always have a choice whether to pour water or oil on the flames. That goes for the present as well, of course.
Sam Aronow, I just wanna know, what is your Gmail address? I ask this because, I've sent you an email containing links to help you with your research on Jewish communities in Southeast Asia, although I'm not sure whether I've sent that email to the correct Gmail address.

Husseini went back and forth; it wasn't just a big, amorphous "1920s" and that will become very clear in this series clear. As to the casualties, revenge killings are killings, so deal with it.
@@SamAronow you're right about sarafand I was confused, but I have a big map of tel aviv in my room of the 1930 Palestine survey, which clearly shows the boundary to be from the sea along Daniel Street, north around 5 meters west of hakovshim street and then east along Nehemiah street to hakovshim, north to elyashiv street, north on kanfei nesharim, east on rabbi meir, south west on the Carmel until hamered street and then from there everything you said, so both mahane yosef and kerem karaton were part of tel aviv though this is so comically pedantic my main point was about Haj amin al husseini
Very interesting video
This really had to be posted right before I start a 12 hour shift:(
Thanks
Great video.
I can't see if someone has already mentioned it, but at 30:39 "Organization" is misspelled as "Orgranization" with an extra "r". Sorry Sam :(
No, I earned that.
hi sam can you start listing the music in each vid in t
he description thx
What's the reference behind the al-Nashashibi doge text at 19:28?
It's just because of his name. I was tired and losing my mind.
לגבי המשפט של טרומפלדור (טוב למות בעד ארצנו) - להגיד שהוא לא אמר אותו זה סתם להטעות. יכול להיות שהוא לא אמר אותו, ויכול להיות שכן. יש הרבה אנשים שהעידו שהוא אמר את המשפט הזה אז כל הנושא הזה זה כבר עניין של אמונה. אני חושב שהיה ראוי שציינת שיש אמונה רווחת שהוא אמר את המשפט, אבל האם זה נכון או לא נכון? תפרט יותר למה
עדיין אוהב את הסרטונים שלך :)
NEW SAM ARONOW VIDEO JUST DROPPED
39:59 The black circle in the top corner... the cameraman is running out of film?
Rather the projectionist needs to splice in another reel.
Thank you for the enlightening and important videos! Can you do a video on judaism from the middle east? Like morocco, tunisia, iraq, iran, yemen..
thank you Sam
2:20 does anyone knows what is the music playing in the back?
Stupid question: Who identified and numbered these waves? And which Aliyah number are we up to now, with the post Oct 7th olim?
I think the last numbered one was the Fifth Aliyah at which point the State of Israel was well established and Aliyah is a tradition among Jews, mostly Zionists but not entirely. General pilgrimage to the holy land is encouraged in Judaism for the purpose of visiting the Western Wall.
@@nathanlee8981 it was a self-centered question. My wife, son and I are waiting for our letters from the Jewish Agency, to make our Aliyah this summer. G-d Willing
I wanted to be able to say something like: We are part of the 42nd Aliyah
It makes sense that only the waves before the founding of the state got counted. But I was thinking of those who made Aliyah fleeing the Arab countries. the Yemenite (which was at a different time), FSU and Ethiopian Aliyot, etc...
@@MichaBerger I believe the Yemenite Aliyah was the 5th Aliyah but this is all from memory. I could be totally wrong but last I looked I believe the historical numbered Aliyah is the 5th. I'm not sure if they do numbers to this day but feel free to look it up, I'm sure a Zionist historian could provide context.
Be safe though !
After the establishment of Israel, the Aliyahs we'rent counted by numbers, but by operations/countries. The last wave was because of the Russo-Ukrainian war. From both countries.
Good video overall, but in 21:19 How was the fact that all of modern Jordan was inside the borders of the Mandate not talked about?
33:49 Also, to put this much more explicitly, this was a Anti-Semitic, Misogynist, mass murder.
The British didn't take control of the Transjordan until the French invaded inland Syria in the summer, and then only as a temporary measure until the Cairo Conference. This will be touched upon in the next video.
Can you make a video about the wooden synagogues architecture of polish-Lithuania?
Great video, very informative. Hayehudim Baim just had a sketch showing Weizmann using Balfur's antisemitism to pressure him into making his decleration. Obviously, it's exeggerated for the sake of comedy, but it's interesting that until yesterday, I never heard of that. Now, within 24 hours, two different channels tought me that I was wrong. After some reading in old articles around the web, it seems that Balfur actualy believed in a global Jewish conspiracy.
I wonder if you have a Palestinian colleague you might think about partnering up for some of these episodes that are coming on Israel/Palestine. I am not impugning you at ALL here, I think you do a good job of not slipping out of history and into polemic. In this tender and fractured moment, though, hearing two partner presenters telling each other this history through the lenses of their communities (which I think, with deep respect, is what you do) would be fascinating, and needful, maybe even healing.
I don’t envy you the work you face as we enter the 20th century. Thank you for it.
We talk behind the scenes.

The History of the Jewish languages
Unrelated but is there any way to privately contact you?
So there was only one parliament and it happened to have been the autonomously elected Jewish one. There was no Palestinian one because the Palestinian leaders had no interest in democracy. It's good foreshadowing to further things to come...
Unfortunately in Israel we STILL vote only for a party list.
Why are you using that flag for Palestine if it was only used starting in the sixties?
This flag was never actually used except by some individuals in the 1930s. Its origin is unclear but seems to be based on one of the many design proposals made by Herbert Samuel around this time.
the concept of palestinian independent state already being called ever since Palestinian arab congress in haifa in 1920, the identity and distinction of palestinian arab identities has been known even longer than that
I question whether you actually know enough about Balfour…
It's been over 9 months. I love this channel, and I might have just missed it but in case I didn't: Doesn't this channel has ANYTHING to say about one of the worst pogroms in all of Jewish history?
The silence is deafening.

Very interesting subject and video, especially with regards to the Zionist representation at the Paris peace conference. Although marred by an atrocious account of the cause of the Left SR uprising. Complete with a butchered misapplication of what democratic centralism means and how the term was used.
Looking forward to the 30s and 40s Palestine to Israel period is going to be a bear. A lot of work on your part, controversy and inconvenient truths. Add WW!II and the Holocaust and it's going to be a slog.
So now we know the cause of the Jaffa riots. Would they have happened anyway, even without bolshevik agitators?
This is a great question and I hope someone asks it for the recap. But in the event no one does: I think it was a bit like Salem Witch Trials. The tension was there and _something_ was going to break it.
@@SamAronow Thanks for attempting an answer, Sam. What if's ara always tricky of course, but I think you are right about the tension. Although the people involved always have a choice whether to pour water or oil on the flames. That goes for the present as well, of course.

Sam Aronow, I just wanna know, what is your Gmail address? I ask this because, I've sent you an email containing links to help you with your research on Jewish communities in Southeast Asia, although I'm not sure whether I've sent that email to the correct Gmail address.
