I work at my local library and we carry this book. I put it on my hold list and cannot wait to read it. Thank you Sam and the MR team for some great reporting! I love your show❤️
I have learnt so much about the history of this in the last 6 months. My mind can barely handle the injustice and the shear lies taught to me as someone coming from a western culture.
Western culture was a collection of saints compared to millennia of middle eastern and Asian cultures which were (and remain) far more oppressive, despotic and violent than the west. You have a lot more reading to do, you poor sad child, before you can say you understand history. Start by learning how to spell "sheer."
I can't put all the names together in trying to remember who's who... (w/ respect to the leadership of whatever country they represented) . But yeah I've learned a lot more than I ever realized. Great interview/discustion. Majority Report should have way way more likes!!!
I’m on chapter2. This is my first introduction to Palestinian history. Remarkable that this has been pretty much totally ignored. But the Gaza genocide may have sparked widespread interest.

Excellent narrative by Prof. Khalid detailing the criminal, bloodthirsty role of Zionism in Palestine, and of British and American complicity and culpability in that enterprise.
I have just recently purchased and read the book with most sources included and it really is a masterpiece. It is so all encompassing, likably written and probably the best resource for knowledge on the conflict! Many thanks to Mister Khalidi and thanks to you Sam, for getting him on ❤
“Since its establishment, Israel has engaged in brutal oppression of the rights of Palestinians. Thousands of Palestinians are imprisoned, beaten and tortured; children are taken from their beds and beaten by soldiers who are armed to the teeth.”-Miko Peled.
Brought to you by the descendants of the country that spread the transatlantic slave trade and global capitalism/western colonialism. No surprise that they continue to support Israel

With due respect to everyone that cares about Gaza , West Bank and Palestine in general , THIS IS NOT ENOUGH ! On the ground , North Gaza people are starving and atrocities are being commited , non stop . My suggestion : we need millions of people marching everyday in front of our governments , mayors , representatives . We need billions to BOYCOTT , BILLIONS of people boycotting makes an impact .

You see , thats the thing about foreign policy; When it comes to foreign policy, people don't see it as something that directly disrupts their life. And so while you do get a ton of support, you don't get persistent support that will actually make any difference.
I can't afford to so much....but I vow to never pay (ahem) the t word. No way would I let them use my money to further fund this ethnic cleansing and apartheid in someone's own country. I say ---stop paying ***or*** at least delay as much as possible if you understand this comment.
With all due respect, if people knew the history, they would be on the Palestinian side. The problem is there is no other way, other than to persuade the US to disengage. The only way to do that is to convince them they have more in common with Palestinians than they do with Israelis. The US was born from throwing off the colonial British yoke after all. You need to convince the public and politicians of this. Only once you have done that can Palestinians hope for liberation. Part of convincing means combating the propaganda and false narrative being peddled by AIPAC, but also by undermining this false Christian evangelical construct of dispensationalism. Both formidable hurdles but a necessary objective nonetheless.
Rashid Khalidi is brilliant-- his deep knowledge of history and powerful command of language make him one of the most formidable advocates for truth and justice.
It's a shame there was permanent member status for the UNSC. Those permanent members should have all lost that privilege based on their actions against humanity since the founding of the UN
This is by far the most sophisticated discussion I've seen about the root causes of the conflict. Rashid Khalidi has a really impressive in-depth knowledge without a semblance of vengefulness. His equanimity is outstanding and really looks like someone who can help create a different path. This video proofs that a Jewish and Palestinian can talk together and understand each other. Doing this at this moment takes real courage.
My grandfather got a piece of shrapnel in his head fighting to capture Palestine from the Turks. My great-uncle died stopping the Nazis and Vichy French from occupying Palestine. Bit of a wasted effort.
@michaelcorner3861 Perhaps I should have said my great uncle died attempting to stop the Vichy French occupying Palestine. He was actually run over by a pie truck, dead drunk, on the night before he was due to ship out to Syria.
British colonialism has much to answer for in this catastrophe. They all knew what they were doing was unjust but didn’t care. Also Remember Truman. He stood in front of a map including Palestine and said (I paraphrase) it will take a while to remove the 5 million population and replace them!
I have been listening to and reading Khalidi's very accurate descriptions of the situation in that part of the world. I am sure Dr. Khalidi, as a historian, knows that it is the Persian Gulf and not just the Gulf. It has had that name as shown on the old maps that go back for centuries.
“The bride is beautiful, but she is married to another man" is the perfect response to specious “A land without a people for a people without a land” statement.
What should we think about the ongoing theft of Palestinian land and resources? The canal is just one project. Palestinian coastal gas reserves are already being stolen, their land already being advertised for sale.. and also a new pipeline project slated to run the length of Gaza with EU investors.. never mind that the settler movement already has detailed plans to resettle Gaza with hundreds of people already signed up and ready to go immediately. International law be damned, they’re God’s chosen and He gave the land to them. ..Triple dog dare you to try arguing with that nonsense! This is just what this chick on the other side of the planet knows about. Apparently the vultures have been circling for some time.
Professor Rashid Khalidi is a scholar, but he overlooks how the history of Jews and Arabs in Palestine did not begin with Balfour in 1917, nor with David Ben-Gurion in 1948, nor with the 1967 Six Day War, but is rather a continuum of histories dating back to the conquest of Palestine (then known as Canaan) during the period of Joshua, as also the building of the First Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in the days of King Solomon, as well as the building of the Second Temple after Israel's return from the Babylonian exile, and so forth and so forth.
Judea is the ancestral home of the Jewish people, if you do any archaeological digs, you’ll find coins with Hebrew letters dating back 3000 years. The Muslims came as colonialist to that area.
Why didn't Jordan establish a Palestinian state in the West Bank before 1967? Had they done so, the Palestinians would have had a sovereign state, which tells me that didn't want one. There is only one solution that is going to happen, and it takes imagination, when the population of Jews in Israel, Judea, and Samaria reaches 35 million, at that point Israel will make all the Palestinians (who want it) citizens of Israel. This will happen around 2125. If all the Jews in the US moved to Israel, then the date would be 2089/5850.
Sorry, professor, the Israelis won in 1948 without US arms (the US actually had an arms embargo of Israel, as did the British in the 1940s, right up to 1948). They used arms from all kinds of sources, they were not flying P-51s. And in 1967 they bought French Mirage fighter jets modified with machine guns, again, not American, to win that war. They had Uzi submachine guns (locally made). The idea that they can only fight with American weapons is not true.
It is ridiculous to say that in 1967 the Israeli Army was "vastly superior" to the Arab armies "put together." And just because LBJ (who lost Vietnam) and the CIA (who were more often wrong than right) say so? Israel easily could have lost that war. The Egyptians had the most modern T- tanks (T-55, etc) from the USSR, MIG jets, concentric lines of defense, and better and bigger artillery. And that was just one Arab nation that Israel faced.
RE: Prof. Khalidi's comments about the Grand Mufti and H!tler. You don't even need to read Mein Kampf. To understand the deep roots of antisemitism in German culture, just pick up a copy of the Brothers Grimm fairytales. In other words, Amin al-Husseini was very late to the "party".
So tired of these one-sided expositions - If you support this, then history is in line with your viewpoint. They read and reread this history and beat it to death. There are 57 Muslim countries. 1 Jewish state. Seems fair. Nothing more to discuss as countries are discrete entities - no room to argue here.
Well, I am not a Jewish, we learnt history at school, there was never mentioned about Palestinian kingdom name, but Jewish established for 3000a years. I was thinking why Jewish who were spread in Midle East shrinking? Well, logically, only genocide can wipe out a big population, only a tiny piece of land left called Israel, still systematic genocide occured for ages, until now, by whom? Current biggest population.
"The Nazis made me afraid to be a Jew and the Zionists made me ashamed to be a Jew." Israel Shahak, a Holocaust survivor. Thanks to social media and spread of information, with a couple of clicks and with courage and human decency, the truth shines for every seeker to recognize. Plan Dalet is a good way to start your search. It details the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages and towns from their inhabitants. Search Dier Yassin, Tantura, Ramla, Lydda, Safsaf, Sa’sa, Kfar Qassim and hundreds of other massacres committed by Zionist Hagana, Irgun and Stern gangs in 1947-1948 under the eyes of the British authorities. “Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel” by Max Blumenthal. “Denying people the right of return to their homeland, and at the same time offering this right to others who have no connection to the land, is a model of undemocratic practice.” -Israeli historian Pappe “Since its establishment, Israel has engaged in brutal oppression of the rights of Palestinians. Thousands of Palestinians are imprisoned, beaten and tortured; children are taken from their beds and beaten by soldiers who are armed to the teeth.”-Israeli historian Miko Peled. "I am a freedom fighter- says teenager Ahed Tamini, the Rosa Parks of Palestine in her memoir “They called me a lioness, A Palestinian Girl’s Fight for Freedom.” This book is an eye-opener and a worthwhile read. Plan Dalet, the blueprint of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages and towns started in December 1947 and was FINALIZED by the High Command of the Zionist leadership on March 10, 1947. Not a SINGLE Arab army soldier had entered the Palestine/Israel before the Zionists declared the birth of their state on May 15, 1948. By then, more than 300000 defenseless civilians had already been massacred, expelled, raped, and mutilated and more than 300 villages and towns emptied, destroyed, torched, and imploded with dynamite under the watchful eyes of and with the support of the British soldiers and police, who left the country on the fateful day. The Zionists even ran out of dynamite because of the extent of their barbarity. By the end of that year, 20000 civilians had been killed and 750000-900000 defenseless civilians, 85% of the population who had lived in the land that became Israel, had been rendered refugees. 530 villages were destroyed and depopulated. Zionists criminals even murdered the Swedish diplomat Count Folke Bernadotte, the UN peace envoy in Sept 1948 because he was a witness to their crimes. He objected to the Zionist plan of ethnically cleansing Palestine of its native inhabitants. He, by the way, as the head of the Swedish Red Cross, had helped in the release of about 20000-30000 inmates from the Nazi concentration camps in Germany during WW2. Videos and resources you might find educational: Warning, they may be difficult to get because of censorship. Hundreds of books were written on the subject too.

How the Palestinians Were Displaced in 1948 | The Village Under the Forest (2013) Remember 1948 Deir Yassin massacre = Palestinian Auschwitz committed by the survivors of the holocaust. Boycott apartheid genocidal Israel. Don’t be the last to condemn the colonial apartheid state like you were in South Africa. The Zionist apartheid colonial outpost is controlling ALL aspects of our lives. It is though NOT prepared for what the new generation is witnessing live on social media directly from occupied Palestine. Thanks to the social media and spread of information, Palestine is finally freeing us from this plague. No state has a right to exist, but every person does. Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Rhodesia and countless others are states destined to fall and they did. This one is no different. Criticizing Israel is NOT anti-Semitic, the same way criticizing Saudi Arabia is not anti-Islam, criticizing Myanmar is not anti-Buddhism and criticizing India is not anti-Hinduism. Demolishing the apartheid state would be OK and in fact be the only way to save everybody including the Israelis. The two-state solution is no longer possible. Zionists stole ALL the land. The only solution left is ONE demilitarized secular state under international control with ALL people with documents showing ownership rights related to the land between the river and sea. We need to abolish all racial and religious favoritism. Refugees should be allowed to return if they so wish. We need to dismantle the apartheid colonial state. Peace will NEVER be realized without justice for all. The answer is very clear and everybody should support it. One country from the river to the sea with the two peoples living together in a democratic system is the only solution. Such unitary binational state is advocated by several former Zionists and current historians including Miko Peled, Ilan Pappe, Gabor Mate, Norman Finkelstein, Barnaby Raine and others and supported by the majority of the Arab population of Palestine. The imperial colonial Zionist outpost is not working and it would NEVER work. And how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind Yes, and how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? And how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind
you know next time you might pick up a history book instead making stuff up. it was the babylonians, greeks and romans that spread jews throughout the middle east simply put. also there wasnt a jewish state before 3000 years. there were two tribal kingdoms jehuda and samaria.
Why do people never refer to the christians In Palestine? Christianity began In Palestine.lots of the ancient buildingsnIn Palestine are christian buildings.also Khalid, english and british are not synonymous..please specify when you are speaking of english and when you are referring to british
Interesting, ordered the book but Mr Seder you really have to learn how to speak…..too many hummms and ‘you knows.’ It breaks the flow and takes up too much time.
He claims this is not a religious war. But there is a mountain of evidence from many, many sources over decades that show that it is, indeed a religious war. For example, Egypt occupied Gaza from 1948 to 1967. And Jordan occupied The West Bank in that same time frame. Does anyone think that opposition to those "settler-colonial" situations was as violent as the reaction to the Jewish state? I don't.
Brief history of the Levant or Palestine/Israel: The natives of the land of the Levant were pagans before Abraham started his mission in the 18th century BCE. Then they became Jewish majority before the Roman invasion of Palestine. They converted to Christianity over the next few centuries, which became the dominant religion by the 4th or 5th centuries AD. Muslims arrived in the 7th century AD and by the 10th century Islam became the dominant religion in Palestine. None of those conversions were forced. The adoption of each of these faiths was gradual and over centuries. The Romans didn't force the Jews out of Palestine. They suppressed their revolt by force. Jews lived all over the Roman world. Christian Byzantium did didn't force the Jews out of Palestine. Jews lived freely in Byzantium. Muslims neither forced Jews nor Christians out of Palestine. Those communities lived freely inside the Muslim world since the 7th century. This is a brief history of the Semitic Jews. To demonstrate this more clearly, we know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, grew up in Nazareth, and left this world from Jerusalem, all Palestinian towns. He was a Palestinian Jew. Modern day Palestinians are the direct descendants of his people. The east European Caucasian Jews are not brown Semitic people. They adopted Judaism in East Europe over several centuries because they didn't accept Jesus as god. They faced persecution in Europe because of their belief. Then, they saw their opportunity after WW1 when the Ottoman Empire which controlled Muslim Palestine collapsed. This accelerated after the Holocaust. They used their influence to colonize disposes, evict and destroy the local population. They created a European style imperial colony in an inhospitable land. To sustain this enterprise, they had to adopt a racist ideology which later morphed into a full blown apartheid state.
At about minute 13 Sam brings up Hagana blowing up a hotel. Yes, but he doesn't explain the context of Arab gangs trying to kill Jews in Palestine. This was like a civil war and in my opinion based on the evidence the Arabs started it. Sam makes it sound like Menachem Begin just decided to blow up a hotel.

Rashid Khalid is one of the most important scholars on the question of Palestine. Currently reading his book, wonderful read!
I’m on chapter2. This is my first introduction to Palestinian history. Remarkable that this has been pretty much totally ignored. But the Gaza genocide may have sparked widespread interest.
The guy uses the word "Palestinians" which wasn't invented yet. There was an Arab Revolt. And Arabs were Hiler's allies.
Yes indeed but don't forget about Edward said
One of my favorite political channels. Keep up the great work.

Also when you turn the page and see Kissinger’s name you’re like “damnit are you serious again???”
What do you think about Israel creating a new canal replacing the Suez?

Rashid Khalidi looks a lot like Robert Reich lol
British empire since queen Victoria knew that wasn't empty land because she encouraged the exploration to Palestine.
Professor Rashid Khalidi is a scholar, but he overlooks how the history of Jews and Arabs in Palestine did not begin with Balfour in 1917, nor with David Ben-Gurion in 1948, nor with the 1967 Six Day War, but is rather a continuum of histories dating back to the conquest of Palestine (then known as Canaan) during the period of Joshua, as also the building of the First Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in the days of King Solomon, as well as the building of the Second Temple after Israel's return from the Babylonian exile, and so forth and so forth.
Lolllllll buddy ur Bible is not history
I thought that was Robert Reich!
Anyway, a fascinating book.
What was the white paper of 1933,36,38???
37 people signed the Declaration. The guest said 44.
Just ordered the book. What an oasis of knowledge and truth.
Judea is the ancestral home of the Jewish people, if you do any archaeological digs, you’ll find coins with Hebrew letters dating back 3000 years. The Muslims came as colonialist to that area.
I think it is Eqbal Ahmed instead of Ahmed Aboul Gheit!
Divide and conquer - Arabs against Persians or Arab against Arab

There is only one solution that is going to happen, and it takes imagination, when the population of Jews in Israel, Judea, and Samaria reaches 35 million, at that point Israel will make all the Palestinians (who want it) citizens of Israel. This will happen around 2125. If all the Jews in the US moved to Israel, then the date would be 2089/5850.

Syria does not depend on USA
Sorry, professor, the Israelis won in 1948 without US arms (the US actually had an arms embargo of Israel, as did the British in the 1940s, right up to 1948). They used arms from all kinds of sources, they were not flying P-51s. And in 1967 they bought French Mirage fighter jets modified with machine guns, again, not American, to win that war. They had Uzi submachine guns (locally made). The idea that they can only fight with American weapons is not true.
It is ridiculous to say that in 1967 the Israeli Army was "vastly superior" to the Arab armies "put together." And just because LBJ (who lost Vietnam) and the CIA (who were more often wrong than right) say so? Israel easily could have lost that war. The Egyptians had the most modern T- tanks (T-55, etc) from the USSR, MIG jets, concentric lines of defense, and better and bigger artillery. And that was just one Arab nation that Israel faced.
what a meltdown...
So these are the people who comment on hour videos. Proud of yourself Sam?
Settler colonist is just another way to say immigrant. The anti-zionism movement is simple xenophobia.
RE: Prof. Khalidi's comments about the Grand Mufti and H!tler.
You don't even need to read Mein Kampf.
To understand the deep roots of antisemitism in German culture, just pick up a copy of the Brothers Grimm fairytales.
In other words, Amin al-Husseini was very late to the "party".
So tired of these one-sided expositions - If you support this, then history is in line with your viewpoint. They read and reread this history and beat it to death. There are 57 Muslim countries. 1 Jewish state. Seems fair. Nothing more to discuss as countries are discrete entities - no room to argue here.
Will Sam review a book on the 1300 year war on Jews?
Your victim card is expired.
Your victim card has expired. Jews got kicked out of 109 places MULTIPLE TIMES, it wasn't for being nice
Eh Uh eh eh am uh uh
Well, I am not a Jewish, we learnt history at school, there was never mentioned about Palestinian kingdom name, but Jewish established for 3000a years. I was thinking why Jewish who were spread in Midle East shrinking? Well, logically, only genocide can wipe out a big population, only a tiny piece of land left called Israel, still systematic genocide occured for ages, until now, by whom? Current biggest population.

Thanks to social media and spread of information, with a couple of clicks and with courage and human decency, the truth shines for every seeker to recognize. Plan Dalet is a good way to start your search. It details the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages and towns from their inhabitants. Search Dier Yassin, Tantura, Ramla, Lydda, Safsaf, Sa’sa, Kfar Qassim and hundreds of other massacres committed by Zionist Hagana, Irgun and Stern gangs in 1947-1948 under the eyes of the British authorities.
“Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel” by Max Blumenthal.
“Denying people the right of return to their homeland, and at the same time offering this right to others who have no connection to the land, is a model of undemocratic practice.” -Israeli historian Pappe
“Since its establishment, Israel has engaged in brutal oppression of the rights of Palestinians. Thousands of Palestinians are imprisoned, beaten and tortured; children are taken from their beds and beaten by soldiers who are armed to the teeth.”-Israeli historian Miko Peled.
"I am a freedom fighter- says teenager Ahed Tamini, the Rosa Parks of Palestine in her memoir “They called me a lioness, A Palestinian Girl’s Fight for Freedom.” This book is an eye-opener and a worthwhile read.
Plan Dalet, the blueprint of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages and towns started in December 1947 and was FINALIZED by the High Command of the Zionist leadership on March 10, 1947. Not a SINGLE Arab army soldier had entered the Palestine/Israel before the Zionists declared the birth of their state on May 15, 1948. By then, more than 300000 defenseless civilians had already been massacred, expelled, raped, and mutilated and more than 300 villages and towns emptied, destroyed, torched, and imploded with dynamite under the watchful eyes of and with the support of the British soldiers and police, who left the country on the fateful day. The Zionists even ran out of dynamite because of the extent of their barbarity. By the end of that year, 20000 civilians had been killed and 750000-900000 defenseless civilians, 85% of the population who had lived in the land that became Israel, had been rendered refugees. 530 villages were destroyed and depopulated.
Zionists criminals even murdered the Swedish diplomat Count Folke Bernadotte, the UN peace envoy in Sept 1948 because he was a witness to their crimes. He objected to the Zionist plan of ethnically cleansing Palestine of its native inhabitants. He, by the way, as the head of the Swedish Red Cross, had helped in the release of about 20000-30000 inmates from the Nazi concentration camps in Germany during WW2.

Remember 1948 Deir Yassin massacre = Palestinian Auschwitz committed by the survivors of the holocaust. Boycott apartheid genocidal Israel. Don’t be the last to condemn the colonial apartheid state like you were in South Africa.
The Zionist apartheid colonial outpost is controlling ALL aspects of our lives. It is though NOT prepared for what the new generation is witnessing live on social media directly from occupied Palestine. Thanks to the social media and spread of information, Palestine is finally freeing us from this plague.
No state has a right to exist, but every person does. Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Rhodesia and countless others are states destined to fall and they did. This one is no different. Criticizing Israel is NOT anti-Semitic, the same way criticizing Saudi Arabia is not anti-Islam, criticizing Myanmar is not anti-Buddhism and criticizing India is not anti-Hinduism.
Demolishing the apartheid state would be OK and in fact be the only way to save everybody including the Israelis. The two-state solution is no longer possible. Zionists stole ALL the land. The only solution left is ONE demilitarized secular state under international control with ALL people with documents showing ownership rights related to the land between the river and sea. We need to abolish all racial and religious favoritism. Refugees should be allowed to return if they so wish. We need to dismantle the apartheid colonial state. Peace will NEVER be realized without justice for all.
The answer is very clear and everybody should support it. One country from the river to the sea with the two peoples living together in a democratic system is the only solution. Such unitary binational state is advocated by several former Zionists and current historians including Miko Peled, Ilan Pappe, Gabor Mate, Norman Finkelstein, Barnaby Raine and others and supported by the majority of the Arab population of Palestine. The imperial colonial Zionist outpost is not working and it would NEVER work.
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
you know next time you might pick up a history book instead making stuff up. it was the babylonians, greeks and romans that spread jews throughout the middle east simply put. also there wasnt a jewish state before 3000 years. there were two tribal kingdoms jehuda and samaria.
Really interesting how one's interpretation of history. Has anyone fact check his book?
Why do people never refer to the christians In Palestine? Christianity began In Palestine.lots of the ancient buildingsnIn Palestine are christian buildings.also Khalid, english and british are not synonymous..please specify when you are speaking of english and when you are referring to british
Interesting, ordered the book but Mr Seder you really have to learn how to speak…..too many hummms and ‘you knows.’ It breaks the flow and takes up too much time.
He claims this is not a religious war. But there is a mountain of evidence from many, many sources over decades that show that it is, indeed a religious war. For example, Egypt occupied Gaza from 1948 to 1967. And Jordan occupied The West Bank in that same time frame. Does anyone think that opposition to those "settler-colonial" situations was as violent as the reaction to the Jewish state? I don't.
um uh um
Sam you should try to ask questions without saying "err" so often.Write the questions down first,or think first.
God bless you Mr Rashid Khalidi
FREE PALESTINE❤❤❤❤
4:14 Quite a reach “this is Biden’s war”
Khalid served as chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI) during the 1990s. ¿?
Sam calls the 1936 events a "revolt." I would call it a pogrom against the Jews, by the Arabs.
Bull pucky half truths wrapped in lies.
Brief history of the Levant or Palestine/Israel:
The natives of the land of the Levant were pagans before Abraham started his mission in the 18th century BCE. Then they became Jewish majority before the Roman invasion of Palestine. They converted to Christianity over the next few centuries, which became the dominant religion by the 4th or 5th centuries AD. Muslims arrived in the 7th century AD and by the 10th century Islam became the dominant religion in Palestine. None of those conversions were forced. The adoption of each of these faiths was gradual and over centuries. The Romans didn't force the Jews out of Palestine. They suppressed their revolt by force. Jews lived all over the Roman world. Christian Byzantium did didn't force the Jews out of Palestine. Jews lived freely in Byzantium. Muslims neither forced Jews nor Christians out of Palestine. Those communities lived freely inside the Muslim world since the 7th century.
This is a brief history of the Semitic Jews. To demonstrate this more clearly, we know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, grew up in Nazareth, and left this world from Jerusalem, all Palestinian towns. He was a Palestinian Jew. Modern day Palestinians are the direct descendants of his people.
The east European Caucasian Jews are not brown Semitic people. They adopted Judaism in East Europe over several centuries because they didn't accept Jesus as god. They faced persecution in Europe because of their belief. Then, they saw their opportunity after WW1 when the Ottoman Empire which controlled Muslim Palestine collapsed. This accelerated after the Holocaust. They used their influence to colonize disposes, evict and destroy the local population. They created a European style imperial colony in an inhospitable land. To sustain this enterprise, they had to adopt a racist ideology which later morphed into a full blown apartheid state.
At about minute 13 Sam brings up Hagana blowing up a hotel. Yes, but he doesn't explain the context of Arab gangs trying to kill Jews in Palestine. This was like a civil war and in my opinion based on the evidence the Arabs started it. Sam makes it sound like Menachem Begin just decided to blow up a hotel.
