One of the biggest myths about the Israel-Palestine conflict is that it's been going on for centuries, that this is all about ancient religious hatreds.
In fact, while religion is involved, the conflict is mostly about two groups of people who claim the same land. And it really only goes back about a century, to the early 1900s. At its heart, it is a conflict between two self-determination movements - the Jewish Zionist project and the Palestinian nationalist project - that lay claim to the same territory.

Vox be like "we told you so 8 years ago"
Thank you for this video. It really cleared things up because I was misinformed by one of my acquaintances regarding the history of Palestine-Israel. I'd like to be educated more about this conflict.
The video starts in the middle of the story and makes numerous lies of omission. You should do more research.
Important details is that the Jewish people are from the land of Israel, and they returned because they were facing global genocide, predominantly in Europe and the Arab countries.
Vitally important is the fact that the Jewish people adhered to all international rules and standards for their return and the re-establishment of the state of Israel. They didn't steal land, and they didn't start the military conflicts between the Arabs and themselves. Every military confrontation between the Arabs and Israel was started by Arabs attacking Israeli civilians, and the attacks never stopped from the founding of Israel to today. That's why the situation there is what it is.
People who accuse Israel of wrongdoing have to ignore the context of their actions to make that claim, and misrepresent what Israel is actually doing. There's no apartheid, and the Arab terrorists are the only ones attempting to commit genocide upon their enemies. Israel only attacks military targets. Hamas and the other Arab terrorist organizations use their own civilians as human shields (which is a war crime in and of itself), resulting in civilian casualties.
@@lennardchurch8483 that's very informative, thank you. Yes. I'm currently watching more videos. Right now I'm watching a video from History on Maps. I want to understand this conflict or war better. I don't want to be ignorant or go with the flow. It is quite horribles whats been happening to two sides now and honestly speaking I was one sided at first but understanding the actions behind two states by knowing their history is broadening my understanding more.

The real problem was the british occupation
Oh but i need to apologize to blacks because of what my grand grand grand father did, right.
That's not remotely the situation.
The Jews are the only people to have ever had a country within that land in all of human history. The Arabs never had a country within what is now the modern state of Israel. No state of "Palestine" ever existed.
And the Jews have had a presence in the land continually for over 3,000 years. The Arabs living in the land are descended from colonizers, mostly Egyptian and Jordanian, who colonized the land within a century of the establishment of the modern state of Israel.
But when the Jews returned from exile to their ancestral homeland after WW2, they did so by legally buying land from the previous landowners, and it's on that land they legally purchased that they established the modern state of Israel on. Their history is their reason for wanting the land, not the basis for their legal claim to it.
Every single military confrontation between Israel and the Arabs was instigated by the Arabs.
Every single expansion of Israel was in a defensive war, pushing back the Arab aggressors to establish defensible borders, which under the international laws of war is a legal acquisition of land.

No land was "stolen" in 1948 except by Jordan and Egypt who took over the West Bank and Gaza for themselves and started a war against the new State of Israel. Both Jordan and Iraq were established by the British Colonial Empire, are they "stolen lands"? Ibn Saud warred against the Hashemites and won Mecca and Medina. Is that stolen land?

Every single military conflict between the "Palestinians" and Israel was started by the "Palestinians". If they wanted peace and safety, all they would have to do would be prevent their own people from launching terrorist attacks against Israel, instigating war. It's that simple.
I put "Palestinian" in quotation marks because they don't have the deep connection to the land they claim. They're ethnically Arab Jordanians and Egyptians mostly descended from colonizers who colonized the land in the century preceding the return of the Jews. In contrast, the Jews have had a continual presence in the land for over 3,000 years, and are the only people to have ever had a sovereign state in the land in the whole of recorded history, making them objectively the land's indigenous population, even as many of them returned from an exceedingly long exile in other parts of the world after WW2.
@@lennardchurch8483 then I will say civilians in Gaza and the West Bank instead of Palestinians, and you are confusing civilians with hamas, hamas started the attacks, but the civilians didn’t, and the civiallns in Gaza and WB don’t have much control over Hamas because they have no military, airforce, or anything.

That is what the Arabs in Palestine are doing, and what they will persist in doing as long as there remains a solitary spark of hope that they will be able to prevent the transformation of "Palestine" into the "Land of Israel." - zeev jabotinsky 1923

Would I be wrong in saying that England kind of botched this entire thing and kind of gets let off the hook for creating a lot of this conflict?
That part.
You’re absolutely right. They used Jews and Palestinians for their one personal interests, playing into antisemitism when that was acceptable, then leaning into Zionism after the holocaust. Just shuffled Jews around and annihilated Palestine, creating the colonial state and conflict and leaving when it was no longer beneficial for them
Same thing happened with what the Belgians did with the Hutus and Tutsis leading to the Rwanda Genocide. In the end, it's always bad government. Man has dominated Man, and Man is suffering for it.
Yes! Colonial states have been let off the hook for creating so many of our modern day issues (e.g continuing inequality between races, sexes, religions, class, + CLIMATE CHANGE + CRIME + mental health issues! ect.) - BUT! the project of decolonisation is helping to reveal the ways that colonisers subjugated minorities to get on top and have stayed there since. they promised the people they were colonising that they would be equal - but this has never happened. time to hold colonial states to account! everyone should be equal and tangibly equal - not just on paper in your constitution or bill of rights.

It actually goes way more back, 2000 years ago. Israeli government appoint their legitimacy on the books of moses and that the land is meant to be a jewish state. Back then the country belonged to jewish people and was called Judea, but the romans were in a war with them and renamed the country palestine. The word comes from the greeks and was firstly used BCE from Herodotus and means rival.
Occupier can't be a Victim..
Israel isn't an occupier. They bought land, moved onto it, survived a genocidal attack from the Arabs on all sides, pushed back the aggressors to establish defensible borders, and exist now, entirely on land that is legally theirs, in accordance with all international rules and standards.

The Balfour declaration prohibits the removal or relocation of existing citizens. International law prohibits the removal or relocation of existing citizens. In 1878 the Jewish population of Palestine was a minuscule 0.2% . It was only just prior to the creation of Israel that the UN in an unprecedented resolution created Israel. The UN gave 55% of Palestine to the 30% new immigrants. But that wasn’t enough. Jewish professor Ilan pappe Phd researched and proved that no Palestinian leaders asked their people to leave willingly, they were violently forced to leave.
This is the official Ottoman census of 1878 indicated the following demographics for the Jerusalem, Nablus,and acre districts:
Muslim. 403,795. 85.5%
Christian. 43,659. 9.2%
Jewish. 15,001. 3.2% (3% are Palestinian jews)
Jewish (Foreign-born). Est. 10,000. 2.1%
Total: 472,455

@Faizan & Stuff Have common sense and realise that you are weaker and not fight back. The self appointed spokesperson of Palestinians Hamas just fanned the flames. It's one thing to blame Israel but Hamas has made the situation far worse than it could have been. People need to let their egos go and realise that most of the casualties are innocent people. Clearly (Hamas, IDF, Shin Bet, the whole world e.t.c) care nothing about life lost for the sake of land. Human life means very little. Not going to pretend like I know but I would stay or leave (illegaly of course) and trust that those guilty would get their dues. Wisdom is knowing when you should fight and when you should submit.
@@NC-dk4mh
The problem is things will never settle
Those people and civilians being killed after the recent Hamas-Isreal violence were going to be kicked out of there homes once Israel gets their hands on them.
Actually the reason why it started is because Isreal was doing the same to the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood beside the Aqsa mosque, they simply come in drag you out of your house and invites an Israeli settler to come "own" it. What else would you have them do stand watching?

@@AhmadHassan-jb3zg please read the whole thing, it is not what it looks like at the start:
of course the palastinians see the terror group ageinst israel as freedom fighters, just like israel sees the terror group that used to fight the UK as freedom fighters. A terror group acts only against one side, so the other one will see it as a protective group, but what both sides need to understand is that a terror group is a terror group.
The idf is also constructed out of civillians, and the jews were also oppresed back in the day, until they had come to the conclusion that they need a country.
I'm not protecting israel's actions, but don't forget that both sides come from a history of oprresion and did horrible things, and in both sides, the corrent majoroty want peace. The world is not that black and white...

@@j-mshistorycorner6932 they must be living under constant fear
“Whatever comes next will be much worse”
2024 here and 33’000 killed Palestinians in Gaza.
That's a nonsense number. Hamas pathologically lies, and don't differentiate between combatant and non-combatant deaths, nor between which side caused the deaths, and they've been caught on multiple occasions grossly exaggerating how many people died in specific attacks.
Israel only deliberately targets militant assets, not civilians. And when the proportion of known terrorists they've killed to civilians killed as collateral damage are roughly even, which is a significantly smaller proportion of civilian casualties than any other country can claim in similar urban warfare.
Also, there never was a state of "Palestine", the Arabs living in the land are descended from mostly Egyptians and Jordanians who colonized the land within the last couple-hundred years.
Notice how there was never a palestinian land before israel?
Yes but they were still occupying the land

FACTS
Literally half my instagram is people sharing generic quotes from nobody’s with blue checkmarks. I need new friends lol
And you’re getting your history lesson from a ten-minute Vox video???
Israel needs to leave the West Bank alone.
The West Bank is part of Israel. It was legally won in a defensive war, and Jordan formally renounced their claim to it, so it is objectively and unquestionably Israeli land. Israel tried to give it to the Arab so-called "Palestinians" to have their own country multiple times, but the so-called "Palestinians" rejected every offer, so the Israelis started using the land that the West Bank Arabs weren't using.
@@lennardchurch8483You cant “win” land, only somebody who could support Isreal would use this kind of logic. The right to land is not won by military power, its decided by the people in the land choosing who represents their interests. And surprise, the Israeli government who continually doesn’t allow non-jews rights even near comparable to an average jewish-Israeli citizen is immensely unpopular outside of the pro-israelis given settlements in the west bank after demolishing palestinian’s communities. Apartheid states don’t tend to be popular as it happens, thinking the right of conquest exists in the 21st century is top tier smooth-brain.

@@lennardchurch8483 Copy-pasted Holocaust denier rhetoric, you just changed some words around.
Why didn't the British and European give them their own land?
The Jews ancestral homeland is ancient Judea, and many of the Jews moved to the Arab countries when they were expelled from Judea by the Romans, then moved to Europe to escape the genocide from the Arabs, before finally returning to Judea to escape the genocide in Europe.
When the video is about Palestine and Israel and the title includes the word ''simple''

Lets start with - What is "Palestine" you guys talking about?
Does anyone ever heard about "Palestine as a nation" before 1948 or 1967??
By the way... "Palestine" its not even arabian name, its a Romans name since they occipite the middle east.
More then that, before 1948 the British ruled the place before the Ottoman and before that the Greeks and before that the Romans and before that was the kingdom of Judah (it is also written in the Qur'an)
