Congratulations on the article! Looking forward to year-in-review and the continuing WWI series. YES! Red/White/Royal Blue videos -- Happy to patron that as a solstice gift to me :)
Amazing work Sam, just came across your channel, WOW super great content!!! Love these lectures, and keep up the great work!!! and yes, a lecture on the French Revolution would be AWESOME!!!
@historiansplaining Hey, I recently watched your discussion about Jewish history and Palestine with Katie Halper on her show. I am wondering if you could point me to more information showing your claim that there’s no evidence that Jews where expelled from Judaea after the Jewish wars Either some of your own material or original sources Thanks
There is evidence that some Jews were expelled after Jewish rebellions, especially Bar Kokhba's revolt. But this expulsion was mainly limited to Jerusalem and the large towns, and never targeted the majority of the population. The continuing Jewish majority presence in Palestine after 135 is attested in Roman sources, discussed in Smallwood, "The Jews Under Roman Rule," esp. chapter 20. The exact makeup of Palestine under the Byzantines is uncertain, but there was a continuing large Jewish presence and multiple Jewish uprisings; in "A History of Palestine, 634-1099," Moshe Gil discusses the internal and external evidence for the size of the Jewish population on the eve of the Arab conquest, and on p. 1-4, concludes that combined with the Samaritans, they still formed the majority. There are also many works by Zionist writers from the 1880s to the 1950s who concluded that the mass expulsion did not happen but instead the rural population was gradually converted under Islamic rule -- many of them are cited in Shlomo Sand, "The Invention of the Jewish People," p. 182-8, which is a polemical work, but Sand provides citations and long quotations from these works. As it happens, Sand argues that most Israeli historians after the 1950s have protected the myth of the exile from Palestine, while in response, Israel Bartal, in Haaretz, "Inventing an Invention," countered that in fact "Although the myth of an exile from the Jewish homeland (Palestine) does exist in popular Israeli culture, it is negligible in serious Jewish historical discussions."
@@Historiansplaining Are they stupid or something? Also your lectures went viral? *AWESOME!!!* I guess people are unaware of the general History TH-cam sphere which at least begins with less sophisticated visuals. If you think more people will enjoy it then keep it in, if not *I BEG YOU GET RID OF IT! MY EYES!* I will do my best to blind myself selectively of course.
@johnnotrealname8168 LOL, I thought you were listening (not reading!) Sorry about your eyes, but the title is true to the lectures - thorough and accurate, and if it cuts down on shrug-worthy griping, so be it.
@grandiane5569 I could not care less. If it promotes the channel then he should keep it and I will swallow my pride, if not he should burn it off the servers.
I watched a German video which says the Germans these days are very offended with the "across the Rhine" expression when describing Germany. Because this expression is not geographically correct, only part of the Rhine is the border between France and Germany. In the days of the Third Republic, France wasn't even on the Rhine. Is it usual for historians in the English speaking world to use the across the Rhine expression? Because the Germans seem to be very upset about it.
I have no idea how common or rare it is as an expression, and I don't especially recall seeing it before. I only used the phrase because it roughly describes the geographic position of the two countries (similarly to "across the Channel," etc.) If you produce a history podcast, you find that the most frequent complaint is from listeners (mostly Europeans) taking umbrage at phraseology that offends their nationalistic feelings. Eg., try using the phrase "British Isles" around an Irishman.
@@Historiansplaining don't worry, I'm not offended by this expression, I'm not German, and it seems to be a common expression. So I'm surprised why the Germans are so sensitive about it.
Great lecture Sam would definitely love to see some videos

First and only 12 minutes late, why the category in the title?
just because some people complained, on lectures that went viral, that they did not realize that it was an audio lecture when they started [shrug]

@@kategogy Haha, yes, I didn't think so, it's just my best guess as to why some Germans respond negatively.
