Good Film. Never realized how deeply involved the Russians had become in attacking Israel. Now it makes sense why IDF is working to remove the Russian pressure on Israel. USA vs Russia still ? Now it's clear how USA / UK / Rothchilds / Israel vs Soviet / BRICS / Iran power struggle East vs West insanity murders innocents. Is it too much to ask for Everyone to simply Love One Another ? Is friendship between nations too much to ask ?
This is so awesome to watch. Fantastic content, impeccable narration, great videos & stories - Thank you Al Jazeera @AlJazeeraEnglish for putting together the events of war & history
I saw this documentary a few years ago and I watched it again this week, a great piece of work. Hats off to General Saad El Shazaly, he was ahead of his time.
CAN YOU TELL ME DO YOU SPEEK FLUENT ARABIC. IF YOU DO GO AND LOOK AT ALJAEERA ARABIC SEE HOW ALJAEERA LET HAMAS SPOUT THERE HATE AND VENOM ABOUT ISLAM, ONE FACE FOR ENGLISH ANOTHER ONE FOR ISLAM .
Great general, but lost two wars, and only later excepted a priest treaty in order to get his precious Sinai peninsula so if he was such a great general, why did he bend over? He was such a great general why did he surprise attacked Israel after he lost into six day war answer is he was an evil anti Israel Egyptian dictator
@@Nimrod85 You need to learn more about history and characters of the historic generals then type in the comments, because anyone with below 90 IQ can comment here.
@@Nimrod85Saad al-Din al-Shazly destroyed Israel and their imaginary legend in just six hours. As for the treaty, Sadat called for peace in exchange for land many times, but the Israelis did not understand that until after they were crushed in the war and were forced to respond to the requests of the Egyptians.
After seeing so many biased pieces taking the narrative of either one side, or the other, this one is surprisingly unbiased and fair in its assessment. The authors and Al Jazeera deserve praises and respect for a job well done.
Both sides exaggerate their achievements and hide their true losses. Israeli sense of invincibility was destroyed by the much inferior Egyptian army. The Egyptians made up for that weakness by the ferocity of their fighting earning them Israel's respect as warriors. I'm talking about the respect from the IDF soldiers who fought at the battlefield, not the keyboard warriors of TH-cam. Who won? Who lost? Easy to answer. Israel gained nothing after the war and gave up the Sinai back to Egypt in return for a peace treaty. The logic was simple. Israel knew their technological superiority won't last forever. At the rate Egypt was improving and given the size of Egypt's population, the Egypt of the future with a real modern army on par with Israeli will be impossible to defeat. The only way to be safe against Egypt is forge peace no matter the cost. Israel made the right call. Egypt today is massive military power, and its still a DEVELOPING COUNTRY. Almost none of the advantages Israel had in the past exist today against Egypt. Israel may have won on the battlefield, but Egypt won the war by what it gained, but ultimately Israel won because it gained a very powerful strategic ally.
@Sunopeek I'm on the view that Israel won the physical war. And both Egypt and Israel won the peace. Egypt choosing to reach out and agree to Israel's previous request for recognition and in exchange for the peninsula back, with more stability on one of their borders, etc. All that.
Very good documentary and the best i have seen covering Egypt/Israeli war in 1973. I hope one day we live in peace and such senseless violence be a thing of the past. The price those brave men, Egyptians and Isrealie was greatly paid and we all rejoice to the blessing of peace for 50 years.
@@yousjuice3198 No such country & no such people in factual reality. The idea that if the Ottomans left that the other newly created nations would have allowed a state called Palestine to exist is laughable.
Go read isreal national library PAL1093 you will find it written by arbic فلسطين in English palstine not some random europen called zaionist @KeithWilliamMacHendry
These are very well done. I commend all who worked on them, they achieved an excellent narrative that helps bring us reality and may we learn and find that war destroys all of us..
For those who complained about Israel receive 20,000 tons of weapons from the US. Arab Nations received 120,000 tons of weapons from USSR before the war and more during the war.
@christophereichten9005 I think the point is that Israel did not have a weapons advantage in 1973 because of USA. The Arab world supports 'Palestine,' militarily, if not politically.
@@christophereichten9005 alot palestinian whiners whined that USA supported and the arabs lost, in fact it was the arabs who have own interest and never really helped, see Egypt is the prime example, they are just like Ishmael , evil thoughts from abraham son, who banished into the desert
The documentary dwells on Israel ignoring the ceasefire (written by diplomats from America and Russia but not agreed to by Israel or Egypt) while mentioning the surprise attacks that started the war only once and that as just normal. I agree the voice over is well done.
General Saad el shazly… this guy I salute for his undoubtedly love for his country even he was the one planned and didn’t get any recognitions after the war. I salute you General
@@animalworld5296they already defeated and can’t fight back! Instead of fighting he is asking to retreat and save the one who is still alive. In war if you been out numbered it’s not coward to retreat and regroup. He is just want to save the remaining soldiers and possibly bring them home alive. What is bitter of that? He is the mind of the attack at first.
@@Mohamed-pu7nt - ok maybe Kadesh wasn't a victory for Egypt since the Hittites also claimed victory. Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub was Kurdish and fought in the name of Islam not Egypt. But you are welcome to claim a grand victory against a bankrupt and failing Ottoman Empire, I'll concede that. However, in truth it was more a civil rebellion than an international war. But please don't claim that Egypt has at any time defeated little Israel. Or was only the leftists in Israel who stopped Sharon from taking Cairo and Alexandria, the Israeli left has always believed in sacrificing land for peace and we see where that has got them. As with many progressives it appears as if they didnt understand the general concept of taqiyya, or how Islamists are renowned for their duplicity.
Got to love the "unbiased" choice of music for these videos: An exciting, upbeat and dramatic theme for the Egyptians, yet a dismal dirge for the Israelis. Al Jazeera can't help itself.
great doco, i do like the AJ versions, I was unaware isreal continued to avoid peace deals to suit its objectives and was unaware Egypt offered a long term peace to get Sinai back before conflict started in Oct 1973
@@georgegeorgia3856Israel was the violent colonizer armed and backed by 1st world superpowers who started this conflict against 3rd world countries. The Arabs didn’t persecute and expel Jews from Europe, the Arabs didn’t start the Holocaust, the Arabs didn't shoot and kill the Jews arriving from boats from Europe to escape the Holocaust. The conflict started when the Arabs tried to bring justice to the Palestinians after the violent, cruel and deadly creation of Israel (1948 Tantura massacre etc). They failed to bring justice militarily, so some sought peace and tried to justice to the Palestinians via peaceful diplomacy instead. Israel started this conflict. Even the west saw its creation as a necessarily evil against the Palestinians because they needed to offset the horrors of the Holocaust. They were initially peacefully buying up land for settlement, but then the parition plan recommendation came in and supercharged the conflict. Had they continued peacefully acquiring land for the creation of Israel, this whole pointless conflict never would have started. Now everyone is stuck in a cycle of hatred and vengeance.
@@georgegeorgia3856 It's not whenever "you" want. UN Ceasefire resolutions were agreed to by both parties but Israel chose to unilaterally betray them to gain an unexpected tactical advantage.
They’re lying to you! This is not the truth of what happened. DONT WATCH AL JAZEERA FOR HISTORY ABOUT ISRAEL! They all attacked Israel and lost land. This is a huge propaganda attempt right now!
It is absolutely astonishing to see the expressions on their faces as the Egyptians talk about their victories destroying tanks and capturing Israeli soldiers, while seeing how the returned prisoner talks about the fantastic feeling of being returned and welcomed home. There is so much difference in culture and perspective of the acts they did.
indeed, and that difference in culture is what's helping Israel win every war against its Arab enemies. soon as the war was over Israel opened an enquiry and the public called for many in the government and army to resigned ( even though, in military terms Israel won the war). in contrast during the 6 day war, Naser drug egypt into a war that end in hamulating defeat, yet when Naser resigned the egyptian public demonstrated for him to get back to office. that different in culture where one side expect the best from the leaders and the other that accept mediocre level is what differentiate them.
@@animalworld5296that was not the difference in culture the OP implied 😂😂 but I see you made a good point. But I’m surprised how do you watch this documentary and come to conclusion Israel won this war? I specifically mean against Egypt
@@ahmedjaad4940 first i did not come up to the conclusion just after watching this deco series, any one with unbiased view will tell you israel did won the war, egypt made some advances and won a few battles during the start of the war but when it finish, israel has gained much greater territory inside egypt, the entire egypts 3rd army was besieged with all their supply routes cut off. egypt begged the soviet to intervene so the israeli could stop advancing towards cairo. based on territorial gains and lost of army (dead, captured, besieged) israel won the war.
@@animalworld5296that is not how wars are won, by counting number of deaths 😂😂, wars are won by meeting the objectives Egypt started this war because Israel rejected peace proposals to withdraw from the Sinai peninsula they were basically ignoring Egyptians and not taken them seriously and they never though Egypt would have the guts to start a war. The consequences of this war was what made Egypt get the Sinai peninsula back, Israel learned how strong and determined the Egypt army was and knew it would be problematic to them hence they decided to get into peace negotiations. Egypt won the war because it achieved its objective, Israel didn’t because it didn’t achieve it’s objectives
Yom Kupper war in 1973 was a disaster for Israel. Israel encountered huge loses of lives, tanks and land. 3 days later US, UK, Netherland and France covertly entered the war fighting for Israel. This is truth that Israel and US do not want you to know!
@@Klaoloam3864The USSR decided to work for peace instead of sending Egypt and Syria more aid, while USA was giving Israel unlimited support during the war with the latest weapons and thousands of them. So bascially Egypt fought the USA and it's an honour only uncivilised people can deny.
What a lie! Why not aliens helping Israel? You must be confounding with the 1956 war! While Syria and Egypt had initial success, having achieved surprise, fought much better than they did in 1967, and indeed inflicted big losses to the Israeli army, the Syrian and Egyptian armies were ultimately abjectly defeated, having the divisions engaged all annihilated or encircled. When the ceased-fire was declared, the IDF was 15 km from Damascus, and 70 km from Cairo, on the African side of the canal!!! Israel had regained all ground initially lost in the Golan heights and in the Sinai, and even more! They kept the Golan Heights, but opted to give the Sinai back to Egypt in exchange for peace... a peace with Egypt that is lasting over 50 years later... not bad!
The Al Jazeera producers, writers and researchers deserve high praise for balanced story telling: taking us back in time to all sides (as far as possible) of war and human conflict, without whitewashing or taking sides. Then skillfully and sensitively wrapping up the series in the all important anti-war messaging. Thank you! I salute the best of the Mainstream Media.
The 1973 Yom Kippur War was decisive. Israeli troops made their way deep into Syria. They encircled the Egyptian army. Damascus and Cairo were in sight. The war showed that Israel could defeat the greatest Arab armies. This understanding eventually led to a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel that, while imperfect, has avoided another war for five decades. The treaty also fostered reluctant but solid cooperation between the two countries.
Well, the war ended in a stalemate neither Egypt nor israel won, politically Egypt won and also strategically because we regained our lost land after the peace treaty. But on the golan front israel defeated Syria. So israel defeated Syria but couldn’t defeat egypt
It’s quite striking that the documentary fails to acknowledge the significant toll of 15,000 Egyptian and 3,500(in question) Syrian death casualties. It raises questions about the objectivity of its portrayal when such critical facts are omitted. True impartiality involves presenting all aspects of a story, not selectively leaving out details that don’t align with a preferred narrative.
Summary of the documentary Israel won the war on the battlefield but gained nothing in return, Egypt won the war strategically by what they gained after the War Israel was a colonizing force armed with superior western technology, WWII veternans, full support from the Western superpowers and was always attacking from a defensive position giving it a massive advantage. All its victories were against disorganized, 3rd world countries with limited combat experience and using inferior weapons. The Arabs initially attacked to repel a foreign invader (Israel) and seek justice for the slaughter, rape, burning alive and forceful expulsion of Palestinians (1948 Tantura Massacre etc) but failed against an enemy armed with Western weaponary and WWII level of skill and knowledge of war. A cycle of revenge was then born. Despite these massive disadvantages, the Arab armies still managed to score some military gains. Egypt lost tactically as they expected but fought with a ferocity that earned them the Israelis respect and gained strategic victories such as regaining the Sinai and shattering Israels image of invincibility. Henry Kissinger prevented the conflict from expanding into WWIII.
the Arab states were on par with the Israilis on a ton of gear. They had better tanks and state of the art SAMs and had huge amounts of USSR small arms. They just threw it away in poorly thought out tank rushes. The Syrians were absolutely embarrassed on the Golan Heights. The problem is Arab armies are inherently not good at improvising. The IDF gave its junior commanders the ability to act and it always has helped them when fighting larger Arab armies. I bet Jordan was glad they sat this one out.
Egypt didn't win. Egypt accepted that it would never defeat Israel on the battlefield so approached them with a peace offer. That's why Israel relinquished the sinai peninsula.
1973 Arab-Israeli War Casualties: Israel 2,569 Killed-In-Action (KIA) & 7,500 wounded. Syria estimated 3,500 KIA & 21,000 wounded. Egypt estimated 15,000 KIA & 30,000 wounded. Iraqi 125 KIA & 260 wounded. [SOURCE Los Angeles Times 08-Mar-1991]
@@d.bcooper2271Israel control land from Syria and around 40km from Damesek and the same in Egypt they cross the Suez channel to the west side of it and being less than 100 km from Cairo in the other hand Egypt had a little amount of soldier which control a piece of cake in the east of the channel which was under Israeli army before the but Egyptian soldiers were under siege by the Israelis from all sides also by the west because Israel cross the Suez Cannel so it was just about time the Egyptian soldiers were loosing it too, but the ceasefire under the pressure of US came first Lucy them
As much as I would love to keep an open mind when watching this documentary, the biased narrative turned me off completely. Everything Arab countries did was portrayed as heroic and successful, even when they attacked first. Everything Israel did is deceitful, or resulted in utter defeat, and the destruction they caused is inhumane, while the damage Egypt caused was strategically brilliant. Even the music choice was painfully obvious. I guess it's my fault for expecting Al Jazeera to be a neutral media source.
I gave my criticism above. Can you make the changes accordingly? History is history, either we learn from it, or we can tell lies to make ourselves feel a little bit better. Whatever you decide.
@@dalastpharaoh btw I'm from Vietnam. I'm not pro-Israel in any way, I was just interested in a good history documentary. I know most war documentary videos have some form of bias, but I expect them to be a bit more subtle than this. I also know what it's like to be told lies about a failed offensive. I was taught that Tet offensive in Vietnam was a major victory for the Viet Cong. But after reseaching from a collection of sources, I learn that it was a failed offensive that costed almost a hundred thousands lives for OUR side (even if it did have some strategic value). So yeah, you have to learn to accept the truth, or you will never learn from it.
@@Spaaardaaa neither I did like the documentary, but actually for the opposite reason. I see it underestimates the Egyptian outstanding heroic victory in the battle field to kind of " Egyptians crossed to the east while Israelis crossed to the west and then a ceasefire took place" while it wasn't like that at all. Even the map this documentary use to show how far the Egyptians went into Sinai was clearly trying to minimize the portion that Egyptian army secured on the east bank. Anyway, you are talking about the destruction and why Egyptians were portrayed as angels and Israelis as demons, because simply this was the truth, this was, is and will be Egyptian lands. So of course it's a heroic to free your land from an occupation
@Spaaardaaa no one likes war unless they are mentally ill and it was a part of egypt that has been invaded away from the fact that I-srael was such a spoiled kid of USA. That put a stop to their extension in the region and made them relaize they are not that great.
Well... The US during 1971 war also approved Israel to violate the ceasefire.... I'm not shocked if the US give it now to the Israelis during this time.
Isreal when they occupied sainai, egypt offered negotiations and peace agreement and isreal rejected... so egypt had no option but to take its land back.
Al Jazeera cannot make the Arab countries look any worst than they already were during the Yom Kippur War. Al Jazeera is Qatari govt-owned; and Qatar supports Hamas!
ask Netanyahu about the real number of dead and captured Israelis and the number of tanks and armored vehicles costing millions of dollars that the resistance destroyed with shells worth tens of dollars since October 7th until now. On the other hand, the Israelis were only able to kill children and innocents, while the resistance men crushed the occupation soldiers who were terrified of them, and some of them committed suicide. After hearing that he would return to service in Gaza 🤣
I think what you call it your country is such a war criminal country with such no respect of all around the world. You should feel shame of your country and Nats leaders
I think you are a Zionist because the Americans admit to entering the war in order to save Israel I think that Al-Jazeera supports Hamas for the sake of an American, don't forget this, just as it used to support the Brotherhood in Egypt for the sake of an American as well An ignorant people with a fake history 🇪🇬🔻🇪🇬@@darthvader4209
Following all the episodes, I have come to the conclusion that this has been a war between the United States and the Arab States. We have been living in the 3rd world war😢
Lol WTF. How did you get there? Arab States decided to try and remove Israel. Both Israel and Arab States were armed by Russia and US, but that was hardly a proxy war or led by either of our countries
That is the conclusion that the documentarian wants you to have. The Soviets supplied twice as much equipment to the Arabs and trained them. They also had advisors who accompanied Arab units into battle. The reason why Israel is still a country is because of uncoordinated attacks and plans by the different Arab combatants. The air lift that helped save Israel probably would have been to little to late.
isn't this a good example from Egypt? Siging a peace agreement, leading to being free from rocket attacks & raids on both sides. Which, by consequence, increases the security of your own civilians? Imagine having the chance to increase your security but deliberetely not doing it .....
No it was not a good example. Egypt lost more than it gained from this peace. As Egypt was the leading Arab country at this time. It's like when your elder brother decided to go and have peace with the guy who used to bully you at school then letting this guy keep bullying you for the rest of your life while your elder brother is watching in tight hands.
@@Ahmedkamel-vf7fx I don't see why this is bad. Your civilians are under no security threat = good. You have no more border disputes = good. Land (Sinai) is returned to you = good. Mutual recognition and coexistance = good. Palestine is not Egypt & Egypt is not Palestine. I am not my brother. My brother is not me. We are all unique individuals. Disrespecting my brother does not mean disrespecting me, in order for that to happen that person must do something to me.
@@tibodeclercq2131 I will agree with you from your perspective and your culture. But in the Muslim and arab culture no it's a big difference. My brother is my brother and family is family and force is in unity. Unity is power. Away from my background or my culture. I also think that unity is power and it's important to have brotherhood and strong relations and foundations. Look at the EU, this is a sort of power. Look at the NATO this is also a source of power. Individualism is not the key. The key is collaboration and empathy and unity. And this is the very basic fabric of Islam.
Denn Ägypten wollte die Bresche und alle israelischen Soldaten hinter dem Kanal liquidieren, aber Amerika intervenierte energisch, um das zu verhindern, und Israel akzeptierte einen Waffenstillstand und zog sich von der Bresche zurück.
@@OmarElAraby- are you being obtuse? Egypt only got sinai back by signing peace deal in 1978 at camp david, perhaps you missed the news or history books
Thank you very much for your documentary .those you cannot get from the battlefield, you cannot also get it from the negotiation table..egypt gets their land back. On base of 1973 war,.Unfortunately syria failed.
What I got from the 3 episodes in short: Ottoman empire fell after ww1, England took over a part of their empire. England split it in two, gave part to Jordan, and part to the Jews. More Jews started arriving and buying land from the local rulers (Arabs) Tension grew. Arab lands bought weapons from the west, and attacked. The UN made them stop the attack. The Jews bought weapons of their own from the west. When seize fire stopped, they pushed back the arabs. Years later the arabs attacked again, including cutting of an Israelian harbor but got pushed back, resulting in Israel taking more land. This land Israel had to give back by UN, but the connection to sea was restored. 10 years later the arabs wanted to attack again, but Israel pre-attacked and won in 6 days, capturing large parts of land. 5 years later the arabs attacked again, being armored by the soviets, and gained ground. Israel got armored by the US and pushed them back again. Now who are the ones attacking all the time? In end its just another proxy war, exact like Ukraine atm.
Proxy? Not really, Israeli's GDP is about 500 bln a year so they're quite rich, just like most ME oil-garchies. But rather than produce their own weapons they buy from American companies. If anything, we're talking about extreme capitalism bc our war industry is mostly private. The US govt allows it because we're allies. All of our aide to Israel goes to these military contractors/ companies. No diff than Saudis or other ME countries that we sell arms to. While Iran and Syria obv buy their weapons from Russia, enriching their oligarchs.
@@Whitzes proxy as in Iran/Russia and probably other countries are supporting groups like Hamas, providing them with weapons. And on other side US/EU will not back down in supporting Israel vs the other block. Else they could have easily sanctioned Israel years ago, by prohibiting weapon sales.
For a quick resume, I think you're pretty spot on, but I don't think you could call these proxy wars for the US and USSR. Israel fights for its survival; the Arab countries fight to destroy Israel.
If it wasn’t for US or UK this Poison state of Isnotreal will never have happened the reason it happened was to take over the rich full oil and other mineral and money they could find in Middle East all for them, but they couldn’t kill all the Arabs (just like how they genocide the native Americans) it’s a very greedy and selfish act, so they placed this state that occupied Palestine and called it “Israel” now see if you didn’t read Quran fully and didn’t get to the part where it explains who the Children of Israel is and you right away take how it says “Children of Israel” you’ll be your own deceive now with Britain probably telling the jews at the time to start a problem, look at this area we made a state so you can leave because look what happened to you in Germany. Here you will always be safe in “Isnotreal” so they went and the government cooked there plan and got it. But God always has a better plan. 😊
Can you imagine if the Arabs had looked after their own people and saved their lives and money without indulging in hatred and trying to destroy Israel .
Not true Egypt got a large portion of Sinai directly after the war and suez Canal operated again in 1974 and Israel withdrew from the rest of Sinai later in the peace agreement that was discussed between Egypt and US directly after the last ceasfire
The Israelis were unprepared and got caught flat footed. However, in spite of the high casualties they took, they certainly smashed the Arabs once again. It is obvious who won. The best part is that Israel kept the Golan Heights and is now expanding them since Assad fell
The amount of hate in this comment section is intense. From an Egyptian, let's put our beliefs and hate for each other aside. There is nothing worth fighting for, we could just be one family
This documentary tries so hard to glorify Arab countries that it's embarrassing. There are so many half-truths, or deliberately hidden stories. Well, I guess I expect too much from a channel like yours.
every region of egypt has its local music type which describes them ,in example in upper egypt they use the mezmar instrument which is flute , in alexandria and cities along meditarian they use oud (lute) , cities along suez canal use (السمسميه) which is (asor) instrument /this song is local song of suez city describe the courage of its people and how they love it and sacrifice themselves for it
I recall cheering the IDF during the 67 war and again in '73. Their victory was most important to us here in America. We are solid with them then as now
Delusional if you think the 73 war was a victory. The IDF chief said in 1973 they couldn’t beat any of the Egyptian armies and they ended up advancing a wider area to the east. His words not mine. Plus Egypt eventually got their land back. You probably think 1956 was an Israeli victory too huh ? When they decided to invade the Suez Canal with 2 super powers (uk and France) . You’ve been fed lies man
@@shmedddddoo egypt recognised israel cuz they had enough loses with israel. Egypt didnt recover sinai in 1973 but only after 8 years that was returned in return for recognizion. Egypt made a great desicion no doubt but its hardly a victory when you failed to liberate sinai militarily.
@@bharatyaswaraj5641should I quote what the IDF chief said in 1973 about that war ? Stop it 🤦🏻♂️ you don’t know what you’re talking about. The chief himself said Israel didn’t win. And yes we liberated Sinai. Did India get Pakistan back ? No 🤡🤡
Actually, it seems that you havnt watched or digested the documentary well. Egypt was fighting Israel and USA, and at end of war, Egypt won and recovered Sinia despite endless efforts of USA and Israel. Today, you can come to Egypt and visit Sinai ro understand
The Israelis gained status quo on the attack in the North, but leaving the west side and letting the egyptians who attacked keep what the got was a defeat. So surpriced that Israel aggreed to leave with the only leverage they had, and not demand Egyptians to withdrawal, before returning. Such a strange deal… even letting the Syrians keep their biggest city in the Golans, after they attacked seemed strange to me. It prooves that attacking and being the attacker is worth and you should be permitted and rewarded for making war. This is strange to me, again the middeleast is a different mindset. 😢
Peace, you have to compromise to have peace they keep the whole cake on the 6 days of war and dint workout ,that was the last time they went to war with Egypt. Both sides compromised.

The Egyptians are true heroes. On the surface, they defeated Israel, but in reality they triumphed in the 1973 crossing battle over America and Europe combined.
So essentially, since its inception, Israel has emerged as a dominant force in the Middle East. Despite its small size, it managed to defeat more than seven Arab countries combined. Even today, if a war were to break out, Israel might still possess the capability to replicate such feats, as evidenced by current situations. I feel like this feeling of powerless against the Israeli are one of the factors behind so much theorist, The Arab nations will need to learn to fight better
@@nunogonzalez4037 That will be hard to achieve since there is no real balance of power, and the Arabs don't seem to share the same values and ideology as the Israelis. As long as tiny Israel remains the strongest, the surrounding Arab countries or their populations will always feel the need to fight against them. Stability requires a balance of power, and right now, Israel is too dominant compared to its Arab counterparts to achieve stability, Europe entire history teach us that.
I love Al-Jazeera but I will NEVER take their story on Arab-Isreal story serious. They are too sympathetic to Arab. Stories are too subjective. Please, remind me who funds Al-Jazeera again.😜
The Jews were chosen to roam the earth with a home;and till the Messiah comes to earth they are still waiting but not the Zionists that went bought Part of Palestine with and dead Jews bonds gold diamonds land rights and cash, and -art of the Nazis hoard of war trophies from all countries they occupied during WWII the rest went to Britain and US because they did nothing to stop the Germans from gassing Jews in The war just observed for 3 years then at the end when yanks come in they decide to fight and take the war then setting Jews free but they could of saved millions, they did t want to they hated Jews in Europe UK included, it’s along evil story where the abusers do become the abusers and oppressors of others not those that killed Jews just a small unarmed nation of people in Palestine. The Arab world will not allow complete take over of Arab lands. So end of humanity will come.
The hatred for Israel is not natural!! It is demononic! Israel is for signs and for wonder. We keep praying for our brothers in Israel, Palestine , Iran, Syria....may they come to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. The time is short!! Shalom
Why didn't they capture Ismalia or Suez? Then you could not say that them being a few miles away from the capital is a victory. You must know more about the events then comment on TH-cam

One sided not remembering who started the 1967 war. It was Gamal Abdul Nassar pointing tanks at Israel. And Israel struck first so the war would not be against their own territory and people.
There is another perspective. 35,000 egyptian soldier, including their commanders, of the third field army fully equipped, had the will and the stance to keep their grounds on the eastern bank of canal although the short supply. On the other hand armoured force of some 600 israeli tanks and some hundreds of paratroops was on the western bank of canal facing feirce resistance that caused them some daily caualties, daily bleeding, and no geographic barrier from the west to protect them on a longer term war, while the canal was their barrier from the east. Who effecively found themselves beseiged are IDF on the western bank, and the finale was needed as soon as it should to promote this moral stale mate. If it wasn't the US, the egyptian reserve army that was stand by to attack from Cairo, while IDF can't offer enough supply to their troops on tje western bank.

Some people needs to understand that Sadat's main goal was to control the east bank of the canal and 20km deep into the Sinai, and the Egyptian army was able to do. Also, Israel's main goal after October 6th, was to push back the Egyptian army to west bank of the canal, and they failed. Israel did manage to cross the canal and encircle Egypt's third army, but Israel was never going to attack Cairo, it was impossible to Conquer a city like Cairo!! Israel wasn't even able to control the cities of Suez and Ismailia after losing the two battles on October 24th and 25th, and that was one of the main reasons why Israel accepted a ceasefire!! another thing is that Israel had to leave the Sinai not because "they were nice", but because the heavy losses it faced during the war. Thats why the US resupplied Israel with the arms they needed the most in operation nickel grass You also make sure of the information. Saudi Arabia banned oil from America during the war and put pressure on America to the point that it collapsed. You are really stupid, but it is true that the Palestinian resistance is doing you the right thing. They are also the ones who will make Egypt collapse, but ok. In the end, you withdrew. The most cowardly people in the world, without a doubt. We did not make a peace treaty after we liberated our land and you withdrew. The purpose of the peace treaty is that we remain in peace and not war. But the Egyptian army won once, it can win 1,000 times. Egypt has not collapsed for thousands of years and until now, victorys Egypt has defeated you once and can defeat you a thousand times.
It's Arab channel. This documentary was about Egypt pride back. Arab pride. Considering their populations. Sadat was willing to lose a million troops to get back Sinai.
@@niumaiaravasua1512 where did you get those numbers from the west ?! where you there at the war ?! where you working at the egyptian army command to determine this number?! I could also claim based on middle eastern sources, that 10,000 israelis have died in this war. Israel sustained more casualties and losses in this war more than any war it had fought till today. In fact Golda Meir and Moshe Dayan admitted that Israel sustained more casualties and ultimately the Israeli public viewed the war as a defeat and would be left in doubt that their army would be able to protect Israel in a future war again with Egypt. The concept of this war was to inflict huge number of casualties on israel more than they could sustain, and ultimately never again would they dare to attack or disturb the peace with Egyptians. The target of this war to force israel give up Sinai in exchange for peace, prior to this war egyptian requests after 1967 war for Sinai in exchange for peace were denied by israel, as israel was seeking a full capitulation or unconditional surrender with Israel setting terms with Egypt after 1967 war, but of course this would not be possible and after multiple requests for the return of Sinai, the Egyptian administration ultimately realized, that war was the only solutioj to force israel to return the sinai and ultimately five years after the 1973 had ended Israel had finally made the decision to return the land back and never again to be at war with Egypt.
Many Western nations would not undertake direct arms transfers to the new state of Israel (1948). The new IDF found the military junk yards of post war Europe filled with many versions of the M4 Sherman (little reason to ship these home)....these were refurbished to have a new life in the IDF (1967 Six Day War) and later the 1973 Oct. War. The U.S. never used a version of the Firefly Sherman (the 17 Pounder was a British gun, not made in the US, and it would have added another shell type to stock). I've read (true or not) Omar Bradley at one point 'begged' Montgomery for 17 Pound gunned Fireflys. Montgomery indicated he was not authorized to handout British military 'hardware' (this being an Am./ Anglo hybrid)!
I think we should pray for both countries for the peace from God to prevail instead of taking sides. Lives that have the right to live are destroyed and we are happy. God created all and Jesus died for all to gain eternal life. God save the world.
Christianity destroyed the Roman Empire, Christianity is a cult of weakness and hand wringing hiding behind platitudes and virtue signalling that never resolves anything.
I am fed up of labelling Czechoslovaks Soviets. Czechoslovaks were never part of Soviet Union. The guns Egyptians received were made by Czechoslovaks. But they were never Soviets or Russians. I am really fed up how Westerners put all the Eastern and Central Europeans into one Soviet bag.
My underdtanding was that Ariel Sharon crossed the canal going west and encircled the Egyptians. When that happened it was all over for Egypt.😮Then the Israelis headed up to the Golan Heights to defeat Syria, which they did. They could have surrounded and easily destroyed Damascus, but they didn't.
If you truly believe they actually could have been able to win Damascus ur actually tweaking out, the primary factor that made isreal win that war was that airforce, the troops on the ground weren’t strong enough to take Sinai from Egypt until the Egyptians retreated.
What was the combined populations of these countries against Israel? It is astounding to see the military genius and drive of the Israeli side. If anyone deserves to be there, it is the Israeli. They brought them all their knees.
The might of American weaponry, intelligence and financial support brought them to their knees. Not the Israelis, who can barely take on twelve year old school boys with slingshots near their borders.
@@michaelryan2562It is nearly impossible to tell these so called "chosen people " that without American might they are nothing but a middle east bannana republic, or olive republic to be more precise.

Good Film. Never realized how deeply involved the Russians had become in attacking Israel.
Now it makes sense why IDF is working to remove the Russian pressure on Israel.
USA vs Russia still ? Now it's clear how USA / UK / Rothchilds / Israel vs Soviet / BRICS / Iran power struggle East vs West insanity murders innocents.

great videos, thank you!
This is so awesome to watch. Fantastic content, impeccable narration, great videos & stories - Thank you Al Jazeera @AlJazeeraEnglish for putting together the events of war & history
I saw this documentary a few years ago and I watched it again this week, a great piece of work. Hats off to General Saad El Shazaly, he was ahead of his time.

Great general, but lost two wars, and only later excepted a priest treaty in order to get his precious Sinai peninsula so if he was such a great general, why did he bend over?
He was such a great general why did he surprise attacked Israel after he lost into six day war answer is he was an evil anti Israel Egyptian dictator
@@Nimrod85 You need to learn more about history and characters of the historic generals then type in the comments, because anyone with below 90 IQ can comment here.
You are talking about president sadat
@@Nimrod85Saad al-Din al-Shazly destroyed Israel and their imaginary legend in just six hours. As for the treaty, Sadat called for peace in exchange for land many times, but the Israelis did not understand that until after they were crushed in the war and were forced to respond to the requests of the Egyptians.
After seeing so many biased pieces taking the narrative of either one side, or the other, this one is surprisingly unbiased and fair in its assessment. The authors and Al Jazeera deserve praises and respect for a job well done.
It's biased with various comments, omissions, characterizations, music choices, etc. Yet I agree that its main structure is pretty much accurate.
Both sides exaggerate their achievements and hide their true losses.
Israeli sense of invincibility was destroyed by the much inferior Egyptian army. The Egyptians made up for that weakness by the ferocity of their fighting earning them Israel's respect as warriors. I'm talking about the respect from the IDF soldiers who fought at the battlefield, not the keyboard warriors of TH-cam.
Who won? Who lost? Easy to answer.
Israel gained nothing after the war and gave up the Sinai back to Egypt in return for a peace treaty. The logic was simple. Israel knew their technological superiority won't last forever. At the rate Egypt was improving and given the size of Egypt's population, the Egypt of the future with a real modern army on par with Israeli will be impossible to defeat. The only way to be safe against Egypt is forge peace no matter the cost.
Israel made the right call. Egypt today is massive military power, and its still a DEVELOPING COUNTRY. Almost none of the advantages Israel had in the past exist today against Egypt.
Israel may have won on the battlefield, but Egypt won the war by what it gained, but ultimately Israel won because it gained a very powerful strategic ally.
@Sunopeek I'm on the view that Israel won the physical war. And both Egypt and Israel won the peace.
Egypt choosing to reach out and agree to Israel's previous request for recognition and in exchange for the peninsula back, with more stability on one of their borders, etc. All that.
They are Muslim do the Matt.

For those who complained about Israel receive 20,000 tons of weapons from the US. Arab Nations received 120,000 tons of weapons from USSR before the war and more during the war.
True
There is a lot of disinformation going around about Israel.
Your point would be?
@christophereichten9005 I think the point is that Israel did not have a weapons advantage in 1973 because of USA. The Arab world supports 'Palestine,' militarily, if not politically.
@@christophereichten9005 alot palestinian whiners whined that USA supported and the arabs lost, in fact it was the arabs who have own interest and never really helped, see Egypt is the prime example, they are just like Ishmael , evil thoughts from abraham son, who banished into the desert
Extraordinary documents!!!!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!
The best documentary series i,ve seen in a long long time. Very well made.
The documentary dwells on Israel ignoring the ceasefire (written by diplomats from America and Russia but not agreed to by Israel or Egypt) while mentioning the surprise attacks that started the war only once and that as just normal.
I agree the voice over is well done.
General Saad el shazly… this guy I salute for his undoubtedly love for his country even he was the one planned and didn’t get any recognitions after the war. I salute you General
man shazly is just bitter old man. his idea of bringing back soldiers from Sanai was a trouble plan. that would have being a massacre.
@@animalworld5296they already defeated and can’t fight back! Instead of fighting he is asking to retreat and save the one who is still alive.

He is the mind of the attack at first.
Egypt hasn't won a battle since they lost the battle of Kadesh in the 13th century BC and even then they tried to claim a sort of victory.
@@maitaimikNo Arab Army has ever won a war in the modern era.
@@Mohamed-pu7nt - ok maybe Kadesh wasn't a victory for Egypt since the Hittites also claimed victory. Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub was Kurdish and fought in the name of Islam not Egypt. But you are welcome to claim a grand victory against a bankrupt and failing Ottoman Empire, I'll concede that. However, in truth it was more a civil rebellion than an international war. But please don't claim that Egypt has at any time defeated little Israel. Or was only the leftists in Israel who stopped Sharon from taking Cairo and Alexandria, the Israeli left has always believed in sacrificing land for peace and we see where that has got them. As with many progressives it appears as if they didnt understand the general concept of taqiyya, or how Islamists are renowned for their duplicity.
Got to love the "unbiased" choice of music for these videos: An exciting, upbeat and dramatic theme for the Egyptians, yet a dismal dirge for the Israelis. Al Jazeera can't help itself.

@@georgegeorgia3856Israel was the violent colonizer armed and backed by 1st world superpowers who started this conflict against 3rd world countries.
The Arabs didn’t persecute and expel Jews from Europe, the Arabs didn’t start the Holocaust, the Arabs didn't shoot and kill the Jews arriving from boats from Europe to escape the Holocaust.
The conflict started when the Arabs tried to bring justice to the Palestinians after the violent, cruel and deadly creation of Israel (1948 Tantura massacre etc).
They failed to bring justice militarily, so some sought peace and tried to justice to the Palestinians via peaceful diplomacy instead.
Israel started this conflict. Even the west saw its creation as a necessarily evil against the Palestinians because they needed to offset the horrors of the Holocaust.
They were initially peacefully buying up land for settlement, but then the parition plan recommendation came in and supercharged the conflict. Had they continued peacefully acquiring land for the creation of Israel, this whole pointless conflict never would have started.

@@falloutman565what a psychopath 😂😂
very good documentary overall.
Israel was caught with it's pants down in this conflict and again on October 7th. 2023
It is absolutely astonishing to see the expressions on their faces as the Egyptians talk about their victories destroying tanks and capturing Israeli soldiers, while seeing how the returned prisoner talks about the fantastic feeling of being returned and welcomed home. There is so much difference in culture and perspective of the acts they did.
indeed, and that difference in culture is what's helping Israel win every war against its Arab enemies. soon as the war was over Israel opened an enquiry and the public called for many in the government and army to resigned ( even though, in military terms Israel won the war). in contrast during the 6 day war, Naser drug egypt into a war that end in hamulating defeat, yet when Naser resigned the egyptian public demonstrated for him to get back to office. that different in culture where one side expect the best from the leaders and the other that accept mediocre level is what differentiate them.
@@animalworld5296the IDF chief himself said Israel didn’t defeat any of the Egyptian armies in the 1973 war 🤡. Stop it
@@animalworld5296that was not the difference in culture the OP implied 😂😂 but I see you made a good point. But I’m surprised how do you watch this documentary and come to conclusion Israel won this war? I specifically mean against Egypt
@@ahmedjaad4940 first i did not come up to the conclusion just after watching this deco series, any one with unbiased view will tell you israel did won the war, egypt made some advances and won a few battles during the start of the war but when it finish, israel has gained much greater territory inside egypt, the entire egypts 3rd army was besieged with all their supply routes cut off. egypt begged the soviet to intervene so the israeli could stop advancing towards cairo. based on territorial gains and lost of army (dead, captured, besieged) israel won the war.
@@animalworld5296that is not how wars are won, by counting number of deaths 😂😂, wars are won by meeting the objectives Egypt started this war because Israel rejected peace proposals to withdraw from the Sinai peninsula they were basically ignoring Egyptians and not taken them seriously and they never though Egypt would have the guts to start a war. The consequences of this war was what made Egypt get the Sinai peninsula back, Israel learned how strong and determined the Egypt army was and knew it would be problematic to them hence they decided to get into peace negotiations. Egypt won the war because it achieved its objective, Israel didn’t because it didn’t achieve it’s objectives
Yom Kupper war in 1973 was a disaster for Israel. Israel encountered huge loses of lives, tanks and land. 3 days later US, UK, Netherland and France covertly entered the war fighting for Israel. This is truth that Israel and US do not want you to know!
And USSR was fighting for arabs.
@@Klaoloam3864The USSR decided to work for peace instead of sending Egypt and Syria more aid, while USA was giving Israel unlimited support during the war with the latest weapons and thousands of them. So bascially Egypt fought the USA and it's an honour only uncivilised people can deny.
Undoubtedly incorrect! My grandfather fought in the October War bravely fighting.
What a lie! Why not aliens helping Israel? You must be confounding with the 1956 war!
While Syria and Egypt had initial success, having achieved surprise, fought much better than they did in 1967, and indeed inflicted big losses to the Israeli army, the Syrian and Egyptian armies were ultimately abjectly defeated, having the divisions engaged all annihilated or encircled. When the ceased-fire was declared, the IDF was 15 km from Damascus, and 70 km from Cairo, on the African side of the canal!!!
Israel had regained all ground initially lost in the Golan heights and in the Sinai, and even more!
They kept the Golan Heights, but opted to give the Sinai back to Egypt in exchange for peace... a peace with Egypt that is lasting over 50 years later... not bad!
Total fiction. It was Israel alone (with Western Weapons) who won the War on both the Fronts
Thank you Al Jazerra. ❤
The Al Jazeera producers, writers and researchers deserve high praise for balanced story telling: taking us back in time to all sides (as far as possible) of war and human conflict, without whitewashing or taking sides.

رحمك الله يا سعد الدين الشاذلي، وجزاك خير جزاء على ما قدمت في هذه الحرب.
interesting and illuminating hearing from the different sides of this war . Also feel sad for all the people killed on all sides and their families .
Good series.
The 1973 Yom Kippur War was decisive. Israeli troops made their way deep into Syria. They encircled the Egyptian army. Damascus and Cairo were in sight. The war showed that Israel could defeat the greatest Arab armies. This understanding eventually led to a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel that, while imperfect, has avoided another war for five decades. The treaty also fostered reluctant but solid cooperation between the two countries.
Well, the war ended in a stalemate neither Egypt nor israel won, politically Egypt won and also strategically because we regained our lost land after the peace treaty. But on the golan front israel defeated Syria. So israel defeated Syria but couldn’t defeat egypt
Saad Al Shazly, undoubtedly Egypt’s greatest General.
@@JohnKemipa you are absolutely right
It’s quite striking that the documentary fails to acknowledge the significant toll of 15,000 Egyptian and 3,500(in question) Syrian death casualties. It raises questions about the objectivity of its portrayal when such critical facts are omitted. True impartiality involves presenting all aspects of a story, not selectively leaving out details that don’t align with a preferred narrative.
Summary of the documentary
Israel won the war on the battlefield but gained nothing in return, Egypt won the war strategically by what they gained after the War
Israel was a colonizing force armed with superior western technology, WWII veternans, full support from the Western superpowers and was always attacking from a defensive position giving it a massive advantage.
All its victories were against disorganized, 3rd world countries with limited combat experience and using inferior weapons.
The Arabs initially attacked to repel a foreign invader (Israel) and seek justice for the slaughter, rape, burning alive and forceful expulsion of Palestinians (1948 Tantura Massacre etc) but failed against an enemy armed with Western weaponary and WWII level of skill and knowledge of war. A cycle of revenge was then born.
Despite these massive disadvantages, the Arab armies still managed to score some military gains.
Egypt lost tactically as they expected but fought with a ferocity that earned them the Israelis respect and gained strategic victories such as regaining the Sinai and shattering Israels image of invincibility.
Henry Kissinger prevented the conflict from expanding into WWIII.
the Arab states were on par with the Israilis on a ton of gear. They had better tanks and state of the art SAMs and had huge amounts of USSR small arms. They just threw it away in poorly thought out tank rushes. The Syrians were absolutely embarrassed on the Golan Heights.
The problem is Arab armies are inherently not good at improvising. The IDF gave its junior commanders the ability to act and it always has helped them when fighting larger Arab armies.
I bet Jordan was glad they sat this one out.
Egypt didn't win. Egypt accepted that it would never defeat Israel on the battlefield so approached them with a peace offer. That's why Israel relinquished the sinai peninsula.
WAR WILL NEVER BE THE ANSWER TO SOLVE A PROBLEM BUT DO WE LISTEN 😢
1973 Arab-Israeli War Casualties: Israel 2,569 Killed-In-Action (KIA) & 7,500 wounded. Syria estimated 3,500 KIA & 21,000 wounded. Egypt estimated 15,000 KIA & 30,000 wounded. Iraqi 125 KIA & 260 wounded. [SOURCE Los Angeles Times 08-Mar-1991]

Some things can never change
An excellent documentary which would have been so much better by the absence of irritating jangling noise some might call background music
Good Documentary,
Thanks from Egypt ❤
As much as I would love to keep an open mind when watching this documentary, the biased narrative turned me off completely. Everything Arab countries did was portrayed as heroic and successful, even when they attacked first. Everything Israel did is deceitful, or resulted in utter defeat, and the destruction they caused is inhumane, while the damage Egypt caused was strategically brilliant. Even the music choice was painfully obvious. I guess it's my fault for expecting Al Jazeera to be a neutral media source.
@Spaaardaaa whatever your EGO desire, we can edit accordingly
I gave my criticism above. Can you make the changes accordingly? History is history, either we learn from it, or we can tell lies to make ourselves feel a little bit better. Whatever you decide.
@@dalastpharaoh btw I'm from Vietnam. I'm not pro-Israel in any way, I was just interested in a good history documentary. I know most war documentary videos have some form of bias, but I expect them to be a bit more subtle than this. I also know what it's like to be told lies about a failed offensive. I was taught that Tet offensive in Vietnam was a major victory for the Viet Cong. But after reseaching from a collection of sources, I learn that it was a failed offensive that costed almost a hundred thousands lives for OUR side (even if it did have some strategic value). So yeah, you have to learn to accept the truth, or you will never learn from it.
@@Spaaardaaa neither I did like the documentary, but actually for the opposite reason. I see it underestimates the Egyptian outstanding heroic victory in the battle field to kind of " Egyptians crossed to the east while Israelis crossed to the west and then a ceasefire took place" while it wasn't like that at all. Even the map this documentary use to show how far the Egyptians went into Sinai was clearly trying to minimize the portion that Egyptian army secured on the east bank.
Anyway, you are talking about the destruction and why Egyptians were portrayed as angels and Israelis as demons, because simply this was the truth, this was, is and will be Egyptian lands. So of course it's a heroic to free your land from an occupation
@Spaaardaaa no one likes war unless they are mentally ill and it was a part of egypt that has been invaded away from the fact that I-srael was such a spoiled kid of USA. That put a stop to their extension in the region and made them relaize they are not that great.
How interesting the war in 73 was on October 6 amd the current one on the 7 October 2023 🤔
Well... The US during 1971 war also approved Israel to violate the ceasefire.... I'm not shocked if the US give it now to the Israelis during this time.
I love a great documentary. 🥰👍🏼
Wow... very interesting... at those times, peace really seemed a realistic goal to all parts involved.
peace was never an option
Isreal when they occupied sainai, egypt offered negotiations and peace agreement and isreal rejected... so egypt had no option but to take its land back.
excellent documentary !
They always list the total of Israel 🇮🇱 dead and they forget to tell us total of Arabs dead 😅
Al Jazeera cannot make the Arab countries look any worst than they already were during the Yom Kippur War. Al Jazeera is Qatari govt-owned; and Qatar supports Hamas!
This is Al-Jazeera 😂.
ask Netanyahu about the real number of dead and captured Israelis and the number of tanks and armored vehicles costing millions of dollars that the resistance destroyed with shells worth tens of dollars since October 7th until now. On the other hand, the Israelis were only able to kill children and innocents, while the resistance men crushed the occupation soldiers who were terrified of them, and some of them committed suicide. After hearing that he would return to service in Gaza 🤣
I think what you call it your country is such a war criminal country with such no respect of all around the world.
You should feel shame of your country and Nats leaders
I think you are a Zionist because the Americans admit to entering the war in order to save Israel I think that Al-Jazeera supports Hamas for the sake of an American, don't forget this, just as it used to support the Brotherhood in Egypt for the sake of an American as well An ignorant people with a fake history 🇪🇬🔻🇪🇬@@darthvader4209

Following all the episodes, I have come to the conclusion that this has been a war between the United States and the Arab States. We have been living in the 3rd world war😢
Dont forget Russia ;-)
Lol WTF. How did you get there? Arab States decided to try and remove Israel. Both Israel and Arab States were armed by Russia and US, but that was hardly a proxy war or led by either of our countries
That is the conclusion that the documentarian wants you to have. The Soviets supplied twice as much equipment to the Arabs and trained them. They also had advisors who accompanied Arab units into battle. The reason why Israel is still a country is because of uncoordinated attacks and plans by the different Arab combatants. The air lift that helped save Israel probably would have been to little to late.

So if the U.S. (Kissinger) didnt backstab the Egyptians on the first 2 ceasefires, would Egypt have won this war?
Lol no
No.
Yes. The Soviet wasn't so helpful 😕
No
Only Egypt is having funny things about promoting army generals even after heavy loss in war 😂😂😂😂😂
isn't this a good example from Egypt?
Siging a peace agreement, leading to being free from rocket attacks & raids on both sides.
Which, by consequence, increases the security of your own civilians?
Imagine having the chance to increase your security but deliberetely not doing it .....
No it was not a good example.
Egypt lost more than it gained from this peace. As Egypt was the leading Arab country at this time. It's like when your elder brother decided to go and have peace with the guy who used to bully you at school then letting this guy keep bullying you for the rest of your life while your elder brother is watching in tight hands.
@@Ahmedkamel-vf7fx I don't see why this is bad.

I also think that unity is power and it's important to have brotherhood and strong relations and foundations.

Thank you very much for your documentary .those you cannot get from the battlefield, you cannot also get it from the negotiation table..egypt gets their land back. On base of 1973 war,.Unfortunately syria failed.
What kind of people, military and government gets a morale boost out of gaining prisoners of war. That is a fundamental flaw in human nature.
What a great doc Al Jazeera, please make more.
What I got from the 3 episodes in short:
Ottoman empire fell after ww1, England took over a part of their empire.
England split it in two, gave part to Jordan, and part to the Jews.
More Jews started arriving and buying land from the local rulers (Arabs) Tension grew.
Arab lands bought weapons from the west, and attacked.
The UN made them stop the attack.
The Jews bought weapons of their own from the west.
When seize fire stopped, they pushed back the arabs.
Years later the arabs attacked again, including cutting of an Israelian harbor but got pushed back, resulting in Israel taking more land.
This land Israel had to give back by UN, but the connection to sea was restored.
10 years later the arabs wanted to attack again, but Israel pre-attacked and won in 6 days, capturing large parts of land.
5 years later the arabs attacked again, being armored by the soviets, and gained ground.
Israel got armored by the US and pushed them back again.
Now who are the ones attacking all the time?
In end its just another proxy war, exact like Ukraine atm.
Proxy? Not really, Israeli's GDP is about 500 bln a year so they're quite rich, just like most ME oil-garchies. But rather than produce their own weapons they buy from American companies. If anything, we're talking about extreme capitalism bc our war industry is mostly private. The US govt allows it because we're allies. All of our aide to Israel goes to these military contractors/ companies. No diff than Saudis or other ME countries that we sell arms to. While Iran and Syria obv buy their weapons from Russia, enriching their oligarchs.
@@Whitzes proxy as in Iran/Russia and probably other countries are supporting groups like Hamas, providing them with weapons.
And on other side US/EU will not back down in supporting Israel vs the other block. Else they could have easily sanctioned Israel years ago, by prohibiting weapon sales.
For a quick resume, I think you're pretty spot on, but I don't think you could call these proxy wars for the US and USSR.
Israel fights for its survival; the Arab countries fight to destroy Israel.
If it wasn’t for US or UK this Poison state of Isnotreal will never have happened the reason it happened was to take over the rich full oil and other mineral and money they could find in Middle East all for them, but they couldn’t kill all the Arabs (just like how they genocide the native Americans) it’s a very greedy and selfish act, so they placed this state that occupied Palestine and called it “Israel” now see if you didn’t read Quran fully and didn’t get to the part where it explains who the Children of Israel is and you right away take how it says “Children of Israel” you’ll be your own deceive now with Britain probably telling the jews at the time to start a problem, look at this area we made a state so you can leave because look what happened to you in Germany. Here you will always be safe in “Isnotreal” so they went and the government cooked there plan and got it. But God always has a better plan. 😊
I do not know who sels to who considering Russia and Syria , but i do believe it is Iran that is selling weapons to Russia, today
Can you imagine if the Arabs had looked after their own people and saved their lives and money without indulging in hatred and trying to destroy Israel .
how Come Egyptians are Celebrating when they lost the war and just have minimum land to theirs after the war....

Because Egypt won the war you genius
The Soviet wasn't so helpful 😕 😒
19:00
Not true Egypt got a large portion of Sinai directly after the war and suez Canal operated again in 1974 and Israel withdrew from the rest of Sinai later in the peace agreement that was discussed between Egypt and US directly after the last ceasfire
The Israelis were unprepared and got caught flat footed. However, in spite of the high casualties they took, they certainly smashed the Arabs once again. It is obvious who won. The best part is that Israel kept the Golan Heights and is now expanding them since Assad fell
Yes and they lost the sinai and was forced to give it back😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The amount of hate in this comment section is intense.

I recall cheering the IDF during the 67 war and again in '73. Their victory was most important to us here in America. We are solid with them then as now
Delusional if you think the 73 war was a victory. The IDF chief said in 1973 they couldn’t beat any of the Egyptian armies and they ended up advancing a wider area to the east. His words not mine. Plus Egypt eventually got their land back. You probably think 1956 was an Israeli victory too huh ? When they decided to invade the Suez Canal with 2 super powers (uk and France) . You’ve been fed lies man
@@shmedddddoo egypt recognised israel cuz they had enough loses with israel. Egypt didnt recover sinai in 1973 but only after 8 years that was returned in return for recognizion.

Actually, it seems that you havnt watched or digested the documentary well. Egypt was fighting Israel and USA, and at end of war, Egypt won and recovered Sinia despite endless efforts of USA and Israel. Today, you can come to Egypt and visit Sinai ro understand
The Israelis gained status quo on the attack in the North, but leaving the west side and letting the egyptians who attacked keep what the got was a defeat. So surpriced that Israel aggreed to leave with the only leverage they had, and not demand Egyptians to withdrawal, before returning. Such a strange deal… even letting the Syrians keep their biggest city in the Golans, after they attacked seemed strange to me. It prooves that attacking and being the attacker is worth and you should be permitted and rewarded for making war. This is strange to me, again the middeleast is a different mindset. 😢
Probably the political pressures at home forced their hands
yea but the attacks were to take back lands israel had taken in the previous 6 days war
Maintaining inhospitable land with people that don't like you isn't really a win. They'd probably have given it back for free.
Peace, you have to compromise to have peace they keep the whole cake on the 6 days of war and dint workout ,that was the last time they went to war with Egypt. Both sides compromised.

The Egyptians are true heroes. On the surface, they defeated Israel, but in reality they triumphed in the 1973 crossing battle over America and Europe combined.
So essentially, since its inception, Israel has emerged as a dominant force in the Middle East. Despite its small size, it managed to defeat more than seven Arab countries combined. Even today, if a war were to break out, Israel might still possess the capability to replicate such feats, as evidenced by current situations. I feel like this feeling of powerless against the Israeli are one of the factors behind so much theorist, The Arab nations will need to learn to fight better
The Arab nations will need to acept and respect Israel as a State.
Only Egypt and Jordan have done so to date.
@@nunogonzalez4037 That will be hard to achieve since there is no real balance of power, and the Arabs don't seem to share the same values and ideology as the Israelis. As long as tiny Israel remains the strongest, the surrounding Arab countries or their populations will always feel the need to fight against them. Stability requires a balance of power, and right now, Israel is too dominant compared to its Arab counterparts to achieve stability, Europe entire history teach us that.
Israel have the support of father America... If father America got the teeths down one day ... Israel will loose for sure
I love how they celebrate their defeat
Their father USA is helping them.

There is another perspective. 35,000 egyptian soldier, including their commanders, of the third field army fully equipped, had the will and the stance to keep their grounds on the eastern bank of canal although the short supply. On the other hand armoured force of some 600 israeli tanks and some hundreds of paratroops was on the western bank of canal facing feirce resistance that caused them some daily caualties, daily bleeding, and no geographic barrier from the west to protect them on a longer term war, while the canal was their barrier from the east. Who effecively found themselves beseiged are IDF on the western bank, and the finale was needed as soon as it should to promote this moral stale mate. If it wasn't the US, the egyptian reserve army that was stand by to attack from Cairo, while IDF can't offer enough supply to their troops on tje western bank.

It is funny how many people think that Israel won the war but withdraw from the Sinai because they were "nice" lol!! Some people needs to understand that Sadat's main goal was to control the east bank of the canal and 20km deep into the Sinai, and the Egyptian army was able to do. Also, Israel's main goal after October 6th, was to push back the Egyptian army to west bank of the canal, and they failed. Israel did manage to cross the canal and encircle Egypt's third army, but Israel was never going to attack Cairo, it was impossible to Conquer a city like Cairo!! Israel wasn't even able to control the cities of Suez and Ismailia after losing the two battles on October 24th and 25th, and that was one of the main reasons why Israel accepted a ceasefire!! another thing is that Israel had to leave the Sinai not because "they were nice", but because the heavy losses it faced during the war. Thats why the US resupplied Israel with the arms they needed the most in operation nickel grass
You
also make sure of the information. Saudi Arabia banned oil from America during the war and put pressure on America to the point that it collapsed. You are really stupid, but it is true that the Palestinian resistance is doing you the right thing. They are also the ones who will make Egypt collapse, but ok. In the end, you withdrew.
The most cowardly people in the world, without a doubt. We did not make a peace treaty after we liberated our land and you withdrew. The purpose of the peace treaty is that we remain in peace and not war. But the Egyptian army won once, it can win 1,000 times.
Egypt has not collapsed for thousands of years and until now, victorys Egypt has defeated you once and can defeat you a thousand times.

@@niumaiaravasua1512
where did you get those numbers from the west ?!
where you there at the war ?!
where you working at the egyptian army command to determine this number?!
I could also claim based on middle eastern sources, that 10,000 israelis have died in this war. Israel sustained more casualties and losses in this war more than any war it had fought till today.
In fact Golda Meir and Moshe Dayan admitted that Israel sustained more casualties and ultimately the Israeli public viewed the war as a defeat and would be left in doubt that their army would be able to protect Israel in a future war again with Egypt.
The concept of this war was to inflict huge number of casualties on israel more than they could sustain, and ultimately never again would they dare to attack or disturb the peace with Egyptians. The target of this war to force israel give up Sinai in exchange for peace, prior to this war egyptian requests after 1967 war for Sinai in exchange for peace were denied by israel, as israel was seeking a full capitulation or unconditional surrender with Israel setting terms with Egypt after 1967 war, but of course this would not be possible and after multiple requests for the return of Sinai, the Egyptian administration ultimately realized, that war was the only solutioj to force israel to return the sinai and ultimately five years after the 1973 had ended Israel had finally made the decision to return the land back and never again to be at war with Egypt.
Many Western nations would not undertake direct arms transfers to the new state of Israel (1948). The new IDF found the military junk yards of post war Europe filled with many versions of the M4 Sherman (little reason to ship these home)....these were refurbished to have a new life in the IDF (1967 Six Day War) and later the 1973 Oct. War. The U.S. never used a version of the Firefly Sherman (the 17 Pounder was a British gun, not made in the US, and it would have added another shell type to stock). I've read (true or not) Omar Bradley at one point 'begged' Montgomery for 17 Pound gunned Fireflys. Montgomery indicated he was not authorized to handout British military 'hardware' (this being an Am./ Anglo hybrid)!
