- During the Cold War, the Soviet Union spent millions funding Palestinian leaders in a proxy war between the U.S. and the USSR. But why would the USSR invest so much time and energy in backing a stateless and largely powerless group of people?

About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.
Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.
About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated - yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.

Arafat and Abbas are both Soviet assets. Stalin hated the fact that Ben Gurion chose to align with the US
Oh, was this when Jonathan Pollard gave USA intelligence assests away to the Israeli Mossad, which was infiltrated by the Soviets? This, of course, resulted in the loss of key American intelligence spies.
The Mossad was a Soviet asset! You guys are hysterical Hasbara half-wits!
How’s that alliance working out for you now? America recently didn’t veto the ceasefire call. And still no aid to Israel…. Oops 😂😂😂
America will abandon israel, just like they do with every ally.
The Mossad was a Soviet asset.
The Mossad was a Soviet asset.
The Soviets did not give birth to Palestinian nationalism, but they definitely midwifed it. The Soviets provided the Palestine Liberation Organization with hundreds of millions of dollars. When the Soviet Union fell, Arafat had no choice but to accept the hand of peace that Rabin was offering. But he never gave up his hope of destroying Israel, launching the Second Intifada in 2000 mere weeks after refusing to give a counter-offer to Barak.
However, as I said, Palestinian nationalism predated the KGB's meddling, having been started by antisemites like Haj Amin al-Husseini in the 1920's, long before Israel was established as a state.
Israel Washington a state before the roman empire and roman empire was not in th 1920 i did think
Second intifada begun after the war lord visited the holy site. Palestinian nationalism is way older than USSR. How USSR midwifed it is comical. Palestinian nationalism didn't start with PLO
@Klopp2543 Um, actually the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic was founded in 1918. Palestinian nationalism, at the earliest, began in 1920, when the locals began rebelling against the British occupation. Ariel Sharon did not enter the al-Aqsa Mosque, and even if he had, Arafat planned the Second Intifada already after leaving Camp David.
@@leorblumenthal5239 false Palestinian nationalism began before the Brits even got to Palestine. Palestinians were at the ottoman capital agitating for self rule.
Arafat and the west warned barak against the visit as warlord Sharon the butcher of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon was hated and suspected by Palestinians
@Klopp2543 The Phalangists committed the massacre of Palestinians at Sabra and Shatilla, after the assassination of their leader. No Israeli took part in the massacre, and Ariel Sharon won a libel case in the United States over this claim that he ordered it. Have you any idea how hard it is for a public figure to win a libel case in the US? He had to prove actual malice.
In any event, there is no proof of mass Palestinian nationalism prior to Sykes-Picot's revelation by, you guessed it, the nascent Soviet Union.
The kgb was evil
This is a whole campaign against the Jews by the USSR. You need to do a video about the anti Jewish campaign of 1968 in Poland. The KGB had a whole division that enforced discrimination against those with Jewish nationality in their passport. A whole series of videos about the USSR against the Jews. Anti Israel was one facet. Operation Rimon and many Soviet troops fought against Israel.
Although Jews were 1% of Poland's demographic, the NKVD made them 40% of its targets.
Appreciate your comment - thanks!
@Keithphysics Haaretz or Jpost did a whole series on the USSR war against the Jews a decade ago. Very revealing and encompassed inside the USSR, in Israel and in the US.
Hey let us build jewish state in Antarctica . Ther is a lot of oil and gas, and other resources. If such a state would be friends with Israel, we will self sufficient. Moreover by manipulating oil prices we can leverage recognition of Israel and the new jewish by the Arab world.
Let talk about jewish bolshevik in Russia.
Millions of people kill by jews bolshevik.
I heard that in the late 1960s, official visitors to the PLO from North Vietnam told Arafat that if he used the language of civil rights or social justice in his fight for Palestine, he'd have Westerners eating out of his hand.
Is that why Israel was using Jonathan Pollard to steal American secrets? And, who gave USA intelligence assests away to the Mossad, which was infiltrated by the Soviets! This, of course, resulted in the loss of key American intelligence spies. But who cares about America when it is the cult of Israel that is important, right?
He was right wasn't he !
What did Jonathan Pollard tell the Mossad? What did the Mossad tell the Soviets?
@@heraclesreborn Why do you assume Mossad would pass intel to Soviets, unless part of a disinformation ploy ? They are hardly Israel's closest ally

Palestinian Arabs do not have a distinct culture. They are Arabs who migrated to Israel from Arab countries in the decades prior to 1948.
And speak Jordanian Arabic.
There's no Palestinian language.
sorry, this is simply untrue. You think that for the centuries since the Arab conquests there were no Arabs living in the region? The fact of the matter is that while the ancestors of those who identify today as Palestinians did not really see themselves as jointly "Palestinian" as an important identity marker, there were in fact unique and indigenous Palestinian Arab populations in many places, such as Hebron, Nablus, Yaffa, Jerusalem and so on and so forth. The Arab migration into the land of Israel in the decades prior to 1948 is minor relative to the explosion in natural multiplication due to reductions in child mortality and so on. I say this as a Zionist Israeli Jew. Not everything which would be convenient for our narrative is actually true.
Literally debunked conspiracy theory,
Nah thats cap I am Palestinian from Nablus and my family was in Nablus from fathers side for centuries while the maternal side of my father was originally from khalil (west bank) but went to Jerusalem before '48. Also many of my friends who are Palestinian have Jordanian passports either because their family were made refugees after '48 or '67 or they decided to migrate around that time but all have ancestry in Palestine spanning centuries if not millenia's also Palestine and Jordan are essentially one and half of Jordan became Palestinian due to Palestinian refugees fleeing due to Jewish zionist incursion.
how ever my mothers side is Syrian hence I am Palestinian-Syrian but still my Palestinian side which is descendant of Samaritans who likely converted and got arabized are Indigienous we aren't Arabs who migrated the only side of the family that migrated was my Syrian maternal side and that was likely a millenia ago.

The title overstates the case a bit. But the KGB did boost the PLO as an attempt to create geopolitical difficulties for the US and it's allies in the Middle East. This kind of geostrategic game was common throughout the Cold War.
They also present in kurdish (the separatist workers party), the internal coups is baath party (saddam for example), the bangladesh civil turmoil etc etc. It's the soviet book.
Ion Mihai Pacepa, read it.
And what’s your source “Trust me bro”? As revealed by Soviet defector eon pacepa the KGB recruited Arafat and some other prominent Muslim militants to be the leader of this Palestine identity movement. He quotes a KGB general saying “we are going to use Islamic antisemitism like a petri dish to stir up an anti-western sentiment.”
@@joeschmo6126 which book was that?
@@puraLusa the creation of a fake country inside of Ethiopia, which landlocked Ethiopia and that’s the reason they’re so poor. They should be rich because they have a port but they’re landlocked. Original country of Eritrea was called Eritrean liberation front.😂
Arafat was born on 24th August 1929 in Egypt, the day same day his evil uncle Al-Husseini instigated the Hebron massacres.
so you want to say devil in flesh right
Hebron massacre of 1929 was a mini-Oct 7th, same insane brutality. So much for "But Oct 7th didn't happen in vacuum, what about 75 years of occupation?". They were doing the same things 19 years before the so called occupation even started.

@@blaizesibande6634He was born in Egypt, doesn’t mean he was Egyptian. His parents and family are from Palestine, specifically Gaza (And no, Gaza isn’t Egyptian in any way shape or form, despite it being occupied by Egypt for 19 years).
Perfect, thanks for this one. Just few notes regarding Czechoslovakia' s role in 1948: Czechoslovakia was member of UN Special Committee on Palestine (1947). In February 1948 there was a communist putsch in the Czechoslovakia, but the Government resigned only in summer 1948. The aid to Israel was secured before the putsch and after Bolshevik power structures were established in Czechoslovak state the arms delivery was stopped,
And one more note: SSSR was antizionist since ever, but surprisingly for a shirt period in 1947 supported Israel and thanks to SSSR vote Israel actually was established. But it was done with the purpose to cause future disruption and Soviet strategist understood the potential of future conflict even before WW2.
Interesting. Thanks.
Wow, if only it the Czech coup had occurred sooner, the white European invaders might not have stolen Palestinian land.

@@Mike-cb8cv of course. Israel is as convenient a proxy for America as the PLO was for the Soviet Union
It’s all about whether or not the group and its particular well choreographed message would’ve gotten such amplification otherwise. It wouldn’t have.
In 1977, a PLO leader from Syria confirmed in an interwiew with a Dutch newspaper that it was Arafat who first claimed Palestinian nationality exclusively for the Arab population since the mid-60's, saying it was a media ploy to emphasize their claim to the land. During the British mandate, all the inhabitants of the region were called Palestinians, Muslims, Christians and Jews alike. He added that there was no notion of a shared nationality among the Arabs before. Allegedly Arafat followed advice coming form the Kremlin, but I don't remember if it was mentioned in the interview or if I've read it elswhere.

I was a student in Moscow (1975-1979), saw lots of young palestinians partying , they were not from Patris Lumumba university. This was no secret for their girlfriends, that they were training for fight.
True!❤
From 1948 to 1967 parts of Judea and Samaria aka the West Bank and E. Jerusalem were under Jordanian control while the Gaza Strip was occupied by Egypt. Question - Why during 19 years the Palestinian state wasn't established in the borders they want it now? Wasn't it the best opportunity for the two-state solution?
PLO was founded in 1964 in Jordan. Question - What 'Palestine' were they going to liberate?
The Palestinian kind of Liberation movement was pretty much a copy of the Algerian National Liberation Front with all its anti-colonial ideology. They still believe that if they hit the Israelis hard enough they will flee back to Poland. The war has been dragging on for more than 75 years but they still don't have a clue what Zionism really means and how it is connected to Judaism and what the Jews really are. Looks like they still believe in the Soviet fairy tale of white colonial imperialist Jews who have no connection to ''Historic Palestine''. Yup, kids on US campuses and Muslim immigrants in the West buy this fairy tale very well and modern Sovifombuero, Al Jazeera has fed into this narrative a lot.
Well said. Just commented on another Useful Idiot claiming that all Jews are European. Such programmed ignorance...
Okay, I am Palestinian-Syrian Arab Muslim and my view on zionism is that it is a (mostly not entirely) secular Jewish (nationalist) movement started or popularised by Herzel to resettle Palestine (as it was known during that period even zionists used to call it Palestine) by all means neccesarry such that it was met with resistance by some religious Jews/rabbis and the Ottoman caliphate/empire.
The zionist ideology (Popular in Britian amongst British jews including Rothschild) sought to establish a colonial entity loyal to Britian (like how canada or Australlia were) while others wished for a independent Jewish but secular nation state akin to nationalist movements popularised at the time. This would be achieved as believed by many but not all zionists to be achieved with the "resettling" of established non-Jewish populations (mainly Arab Muslims/christians) or by living with them.
While Britian promised this to them Britian came with the condition of respecting the civil liberties of established non Jewish populations instead of resettling them but why would they listen to the entity that allowed them to mass migrate and promised them a state? Nah rebel against Britian even though technically speaking the whole thing would've been impossible without them.
Israel was declared within the 1947 partition borders on the 14th May 1948 as a state which included a large Arab Minority already living there as full equal citizens. There would have been no ''resettling'' (as a result of many people fleeing to get out of harms way) had the Arabs declared their own state instead of declaring war on the Jewish State.
@@hishamalaker491 A Muslim Kalifate and the Ottoman Empire are not less colonialist. Any Muslim settled in this lend in the era of this Empire is Colonialist.

At 10:42 or thereabouts, you forgot to mention that the Israelis also captured the Sinai Peninsula in the Six Day War..
BTW, He forgot to mention that Arafat was Haj Amin el Husseini's nephew. As well as Arafat and Abu Mazan, both were Haj's students in Cairo, and their mission (These day's Abu's) is to eliminate Israel
Most of us that grew up or had part of our life in USSR has no idea about any of this
Not me and my family. We knew about it for long time..

Finally, somebody gets it.
Stalin ALLOWED Yugoslavia to sell weapons to Israel? I'd like to see some sources of this claim. Tito was the only independent, Communist leader in the Warsaw Pact and did pretty much whatever he wanted to do. Isn't this true? Also Tito sold weapons to Arabs later, if I'm not mistaken.

As someone who was raised to be casually antisemitic, thank you for this channel
Why didn't you mention that Arafat was Egyptian? He was born and raised in Alexandria. He was promoted by Nazer, Egypt president, pan-arabic leader.
Exactly 😅
So at worst, he was as native to palestine as some foreign zionist settler
Every plane flown in 1967 was between Egypt and Israel was piloted by a Russian, every tank crew had a Russian commander.
The Russians did poorly in The 6 Day War, just as in The Ukraine, now!!!
Even if this is all true, the Palestinians themselves will see it as a necessary way to "retake" Palestine. Yesterday it was the USSR. Today it's Iran.
In 1967 during the war against Israel the entire Egyptian air force was comprised of the Soviet planes and Soviet pilots. Gamal Abdel Nasser was awarded the highest military honor of the USSR, The Hero of Soviet Union. Most of the African anti-Western regimes were funded and supported logistically and politically by the USSR. Fast forward to the 21st century, Russian Wagner mercenaries operate everywhere in Africa and Middle East where any anti-Western activity is happening, from Syria and Libya to Mali and Niger. But they are not too altruistic: they are after gold, rare metals and diamonds, or whatever else natural resources are available.
Marxists, Islamists, globalists, they’re all working the same scam
Hope their turn to be dealt with is approaching.

7:20 most important part of any video on the Internet. This is also backed up by the fact that the Palestinian Arab Congresses of 1919-1931 declared that they identified as Syrians who wanted the British Mandate of Palestine to be subsumed by Syria (and that no Jews should live there).
When SJP was introduced on college campuses, who do you think was planning all that is happening today far in advace? Find one of the Arab military personalities who is not a KGB asset. King of Jordan went to Harvard, all other were educated in USSR.
I admit I didn't know that, but it makes sense.
SJP does nothing to help the Palestinians. They get money to create anti-israel sentiment on campus. The Palestinians living in Gaza or West Bank get 0 benefits.
The organization you mentioned does not do anything in support of P people. They just promote ant1semitism on K@mpu$.

@@alexeyanisimov9672
Iran is Russias bish puppet state
Not only there was no Palestinian Nationalism before the Soviets invented it, "Palestine" was part of Syria Palestina under the Ottomans or 'Palestine and transjordan' under the British mandate. In 1945 when the Arab league was formed for all Arab nationalities who wanted independence- one "nationality" was missing (they brought in Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria etc.. but no "Palestine" which they themselves consider to be Jewish- and that's in 1945 before there was an Israel) Then in 1948 the Arabs invaded "Palestine". The Arab league decided to unify its militaries and attack Israel. The Arab league decided not to recognize Israel's existence but only recognized "Palestine" after failing to annihilate Israel in so many attempts- only then they moved to play the "social justice" card saying the Arab Israeli conflict is a national determination issue, when in fact it had been and still is an issue of Arabs wanting to annihilate the Jews
Let's not forget the grand mufti of Jerusalem who was recruiting Arab soldiers to fight alongside Nazis against allied troops.
Yasser Arafat said in the 1960's there is no such people as Palestinians. The people who inhabited Israel under British Rule when it was called British Mandate Palestine were Jews, Arabs, and others from various nations, all entitled to the term Palestinians; no different to when the area was under Roman occupation and referred to as Syria-Palestina. Arafat and his cohort unashamedly appropriated the name "Palestinian" to bring cohesion to the mixture of their Arab followers for political purposes and to further to agenda of Islamisation in the world. That agenda dictates elimination of the Jews and all others who won't submit to their "god". Readers may be aware of all this and that Al-lah means the-god; he is only "the god of the Muslims". One doesn't need much intelligence to see the truth, however it is sadly evident the intelligence of multitudes of people is decreasing. The fact that the portion of Israel now named The West Bank is actually Judea-Samaria, and the people of Gaza are Arabs with a majority of Egyptian family names, some from Syria and Jordan and other Middle East Countries, are either unknown, ignored, or denied by the world. Those in the western world who have foolishly allied themselves against the Jewish people and Israel, those who mindlessly rally as "pro-Palestinian" but are actually "anti-Jew" and "anti-Israel", will be extremely sorry if Islam gains control in their own countries. The guilt will be on their shoulders alone. Am Yisra'el chai!
Let's also not forget that Jordan was created to provide a homeland for all the Arabs who wanted to have a separate national identity. Jordan for the Arabs, Israel for the Jews. If the term "occupiers" is to be correctly used perhaps it should be applied to describe the Arabs who now possess Judea and Samaria and Gaza, who refer to themselves collectively as "Palestinians". The other fact that many "anti-Israel" supporters are ignorant of is the over 2.1 million Arab Citizens of Israel, who are Israelis along with the Jews and many others from different nations. Many of those Israeli Arabs are Muslim (and some may even call themselves Palestinian!).
@@Keithphysics Indeed. There were partition plans just like that were in India and Pakistan where there was a so called 'Nakba' of 14 million people. India for the Hindu and Pakistan for the Muslims. Just like in the ME, India still has 200M Muslims but Pakistan has almost no Hindus. There are 2 Million Arabs in Israel (>20% of the population) while all the Jews were ethnically cleansed from the ME and are not allowed to enter 'Palestine'. They call Israel genocidal while calling outright for Intifada and call it appartheid while no single Jew can go into the west bank or Gaza and not get lynched. They start genocidal wars again and again knowing that Israel is the stronger side because they want their kids to die so they can portray "Innocent Palestinian suffering" in Palywood and then force Israel to give away territory. And despite the fact that Hamas wants Palestinians dead for this reason, 92% of Gazans supports them and want to become martyrs (where they can have squares named after them and become celebrated as heores). The world wants to portray Israel as the bad guy (I wonder why) while totally ignore the death cult that developed in "Palestine" that glorifies death of infidels and of their own people as "glorified martyrs". Arab Jihadism is to take over every piece of land Muslims ever lived in and claim it (beware Europe, you're next)- this is "settler colonialism". Zionism is exactly the opposite. There are Jews all over the world and instead of claiming lands where Jews are, it calls to bring them back to their ancestrial homeland. The only solution to this crisis is if there will be ever a similar movement in the Arab world that will call to move all the made up "Palestinian" Arabs back to Saudi Arabia. But this is very unlikely, as they dont have peaceful Herzl-like leaders, but rather Arafat-Sinwar-Bin Laden type leaders and a willing populace that love pursuing Jihad and 'Shuada' (martyrdom)

Didn't Israel take the Sinai in the Six Day War?
They did win the Sinai as well
Yes
Lots of us knew this for a while now, glad it’s coming to the light for more of the masses to see though
I find it interesting that we're ignoring the fact the Arab Palestinians knew that they were from Palestine just as the Palestinian Jews knew that they were from Palestine. And the Israeli government was being bankrolled just as Palestine was - but in Dollars instead of Rubles.
Why are we focusing on the crimes of one collective while wholly neglecting the crimes of the other?
Dollars helped to buy lands, build farms, schools, and roads, irrigate desert, and drain swamps. Not a crime.
Rubles went for antisemitic propaganda and arming Arab guerrillas. That's the difference.

One correction.... the Arabs in Israel do not have a separate dialect. Only a barely detectable accent. And they do not have a distinct culture.
But they are ARABS and NOT EUROPEANS aka ISRAELIS
So THAT"'s your criteria for why Palestinians do not deserve their own country or even the right to more land in israel or even the right to be pissed when so much land was taken from them before they even agreed to it? Let me repeat - I'm not saying Jews do not deserve a land where it is safe, so to that extent you can consider me a zionist if that's all the definition means. However, what intentionally gets ignored is HOW the land was taken from them and the BS narratives Israel push that "arabs wanted to kill all the jews so we're just defending ourseleves" and now it's this whole stupid "dialect" thing. Interesting how zionists make up all these rules of who deserves what and who doesn't deserve what and why jews deserve it and Arabs don't (regardless of how hypocritical it is) and it's so cooincidenttal how these "rules" favour Israeli's and Jews over Palestinian Arabs. Let me guess, "Sorry these are not our rules, these are just rules that everyone in the world all operate by and Palestinians are just mad they didn't get what they want" which is a massive oversimplification. You most like would never push yourself to think critically because once that domino falls and you realize just how criminal it was in the way Israel was formed (in HOW it formed to be specific, without consent of Arabs) you will realize you have partaken in an ideology that has enabled the dehumanization of Palestinians and Arabs as a whole. "Antisemitism" is a great tool used to excuse Islamaphobia (yes that's a real thing) and anti-Arab hate.
Jews aren't Europeans,and it won't come true no matter how much you repeat it. We're all of Middle Eastern origin, since that's where Israel is.@@risenacademy189

Quick note, this looks like a map of Imperial Russia, and not the Soviet Union. Finland, and Poland (not modern Poland's map, but when it was a part of the Empire) are included in the map, and Kaliningrad is not.
Golda meir literally, in that clip you just showed, said that there was no such thing as a jew or and arab before 1948. There only existed a catch all term 'palestinians' to refer to the inhabitants of Palestine. This literally destroyed the argument you're making here. She herself just said that there was no separate 'arab' identity that was distinct from the overall palestinian identity. Therefore, the palestinians arabs already referred to themselves as 'palestinians' and nothing else
Wow, the connections are so shocking, but totally make sense. Thanks for doing all the research.
The term "Palestine" is a geografic region name, not an administrative entity. It was never a state. We have many other geografic regions on Earth, like Amazonia, Hymalai, Scandinavia, Sahara, Caucassus, Balkans, Baltia, and so on. We can of course call those people who live in these area's Amazonians, Hymalanians, Scandinavians, Saharans, Caucassians, Balkanians, Baltians. But these are general terms and has nothing with citizenship or ethnical background. In reality, in all of these regions I noted above, there are many, many countries and states and even more ethnical cultures. But as a geografic region, none of them is an administrative entiry, has preciesely defined boundaries, same valuta, constitution or parliament. Palestine was never a state and after 7 october 2023 it never will be. End of story for Palestine.
Never a state, should of been one though, in reality the whole Ottoman Empire should of become a caliphate as the British promised
@@turntech4776 There were no "palestinians" mentioned in the UN resolution 1948.
Only Arabs and Jews.
Who the hell are palestinians?
I dont know any f%%king palestinians. It's a fake.
Palestinians were never Arabs. P[alestinians were always Jews. Golda Meir is a real Palestinian.
Jews were living there when Arabs didn't even exist in the region.
Besides, Arabs always rejected the proposal of 2 state.
Now, for this time, it will be Israel who says NO to this bullsh%t fake terrorist nation and 2 state solution.
No 2 state solution anymore. Time is up. Enough is enough. Case is closed.
Is this new for anyone? I was born in Sovjet Union 40+ years ago and I thought this is common information.
Why you think that the structure of Hamas political wing is called "politburo"?
It's just a copy-paste of the Sovjet communists system who also had that same "politburo".
which is in fact meaning there were a certain group of people in power, called elite", which were ruling over the masses.
Apparently the soviets gave Arafat a minthly usd 100k check. Compare this to the US yearky check of usd 3.8 billion! What a difference!
You guys really got to put sources in the description, this is my favourite educational channel and I would hate it's integrity to be called into question, so much work is put into it it's a waste not to take the extra time to source.
Thanks for this

Why is it even controversial? Isn't it common knowledge that the Soviet Union worked closely with Pan-Arabists during the Cold War?
I’m really glad this aspect of The Cold War is being looked at and explained more! So many echoes from that conflict still affect the world today and so many don’t even realize it.
Welll... why not mention that the Soviet Union also funded Nelson Mandela and the ANC? It was for the liberation of South Africans from Apartheid. Hence Mandela was friends with Arafat and a staunch supporter of Palestinian freedom.
*Joseph Stalin wanted an ally in the Med, so he could have access to a naval base there.*
Somewhere near the Suez Canal.
This was a great video!!! These are the type of videos i would like to see... and vodka is Russian and wodka is polish the still argue till today about who invented it.
Propaganda at its finest. Like UK describing its colony in Africa
How wonderful are these words. Bravo. About time this story returns to center stage.
You need to do a video on UNWRA (vs the UNHCR) and the complicity of the West in the building of the Palestinian tunnels.
Thanks - we made a video about UNWRA on our sister channel: th-cam.com/video/rtE8fvpflYo/w-d-xo.html
This reminds me that christian-on-the-outside, communist-on-the-inside Jim Jones' gross HQ in Guyana was also adjacent to a Russian strategic base
The USSR concocted "Palestinians." The rest is history.
The Palestinian people do not exist. There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are part of one people, the Arab nation. Lo and behold, I have relatives with Palestinian, Lebanese, Jordanian and Syrian citizenship. We are one people. It is only for political reasons that we carefully endorse our Palestinian identity. Indeed, it is of national interest for the Arabs to encourage the existence of the Palestinians in the face of Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity is only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new means to continue the struggle against Israel and for Arab unity. - Zuheir Mohsen, PLO leader
I thought it was a pretty well known undisputed fact thst the Soviet started the PLO.
British colonisers started israel
The following quote from your video contradicts the rest of the video and has no basis of fact "Palestinian Arabs have been around a long time. They have a distinct culture and dialect and identity".
They do, the millitary general who ruled over the area known as Palestine during the Ottoman Empire who had great interest in agriculture helped form a lot of this identity by spurring them forwards in comparison to surrounding regions
Brilliant, i didn't know about this deep connection
I admire your exactitude and wish any reporter could do his homework just like you did. All the best!
Fun fact: Ussr is one of the first country recognize Israel
he siad that in the video ur not slick
Karl Marx was a jew
Lenin was a jew
Trosky was a jew
Just saying...
Israelis already know that there were socialists among the zionist movenlments.
they were from jewish families because judiasm encourages intellectual thinking and they weren't practicing when they were communist
Palestinians are already recognized in International law. Only Indigenous peoples have the right to self determination. Using a religious text from thousands of years ago as a basis for “sovereignty” just doesn’t cut it.
Based Soviet Union
This is some good and very necessary history. Distinguishing beliefs, regions, history, ethnicity, and race cause a lot of confusion for our modern world today. And the you can't neatly package ethnicities and politics into the modern Western Ideology of Idenity. Good reporting!
Just like Raisi, Ceausescu met his fate and died like a dog with his own citizens hating him and celebrating his death.
Thank you, I really enjoyed watching your video ❤
The USSR only carried on what the Russian Empire had been doing in the area since the 1850's. The Palistinian problem was created to destabilize the Ottomans and British control in the area by the Russian Empire. This is very difficult to research; but you can begin with Russian Orthodox Church History.
Bullshit
Yep!! That would never surprise me.
And then he said they deserve a state. They don't deserve a state Israel borders were made at the San Remo conference same as all the surrounding countries there was no Saudi Iraq, Syria, or Lebanon that was all just Ottoman Empire. The rights of the Arabs in Israel were very clearly stated they have the right to freedom of religion and access to their holy sites but it's very specific in its wording, and it says that the right of national aspiration is reserved for the Jewish people. It would be the biggest mistake in the world to give them their own state inside of Israel. Good thing they never even wanted a state inside of Israel. they just want to replace the Jewish state with the 22nd arab muslim country and a 2nd Palestinian state since Jordan is 60% "Palestinian" they have a majority in that country so it's essentially a Palestinian state.
Hey let us build jewish state in Antarctica . Ther is a lot of oil and gas, and other resources. If such a state would be friends with Israel, we will self sufficient. Moreover by manipulating oil prices we can leverage recognition of Israel and the new jewish by the Arab world.
''There are 50 states so lets kick out everyone currently residing in Wyoming to Idaho and give it back to the natives who were there centuries if not a millenia ago'' Thats basically your logic...
BTW, that's false claim, watch **CouldWar Channel** cover on this subject, he literally said the Jeu immigrant after WW I to Palestine from East Europe was the one who encourage these national movements combine it with socialism to fight colonial power of the time,
Of course. The Russian counted on Israel to choose them as their prime allies, not the US.
You steal lands from others and when they fight back you blame another for their will to fight 😂. You will never be able to justify your colonisation of Palestine to anyone not even yourself 😂
Why would the USSR invest so much time and energy in backing a stateless and largely powerless group of people?
Take a look at the world map & draw the shortest possible land route from Belgorod to the continent of Africa. Pay attention to every country in it's path.
It was to use a stateless group who were not bound by laws or treatise and could enact terror campaigns garnering publicity and international sympathy. It was to undermine the US influence in the region at great cost. Its cold war tactics.
Another great video! Very thorough!
“The Palestinian people does not exist.” - Zuheir Mohsen, military commander of the PLO and member of the PLO Executive Council.
Cont. “The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today of the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism.
For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.”
Very thorough, thanks!
Can u make a video about the Yemite Children Affair?
🎯🎯🎯🎯
They began establishing nations in Palestine founded on identity.
In the name of Kingdom+Republic+Empire oh so scary
Off course! It was not any secret for anybody in my country😉
The scarf was similar to that of Khmer Rouge and the Vietcong in the South Vietnam back in the 70s. Anyone notice that?
Great video! Whether or not it is the mission of "Unpacked," this video and others exposes the manipulated narrative imposed on Palestinians and those who shout in the streets in support of them. This is to say, I believe most Palestinians are good people with a strong desire to live peacefully, and yet for 100 years there has been a very calculated effort to do 2 things: 1) Undermine the Palestinians as a people - primarily by their own people from Arafat to Abbas, to Haniyeh, and 2) Undermine the right for Jews to have a sovereign state ANYWHERE in Palestine, even though it is absurd for them not to have a nation in their historic homeland. With that said, Palestinians obviously also deserve to have a sovereign state of their own, but the main problem preventing this from coming to fruition is that their leaders continue to put "Annihilate Israel" first on the Priorities Table.
Because Israel as a state formed entirely through colonisation and the removal of Arabs from the area via millitary operations. All of the recent history is a product of these actions, and it is in very recent memory that this (at times) violent colonisation took place, as such it is unsurprising that those who originate from the many villages of such an area to not want this state to exist
@@turntech4776 "formed entirely through colonisation," shows you know very little history. Sadly, you are among many ignorant people. Go to the library for a few days before you return to write comments on TH-cam that expose just how ignorant you truly are. Palestinians could have had their own nation 76 years ago. They said "No" then, and they have said "No" to peace ever since.
You wouldn't know about that, though, as you are likely brainwashed by the algorithm, like so many other idiots out there.
The USSR was the second nation to recognize it. The US was first
You're sitting here admonishing these people for killing innocent civilians but Israel is doing that right now in Gaza I see this propaganda for what it is
THANKS
The soviets and the kgb weren’t gone in the 1990s. They just started calling themselves Russians and the FSB.
Did the US invent the Israel nationalism ?
The Palestinian Dance looked Russian
They got that from Russia?
I'm not surprised with involvement rusia with plo and hamas today but surprisingly in my country muslims hate commie rusia n cina but when they know rusia n cina behind plo and hamas they cheering up and said it was revealed from hadits from 7 century,,,😂😂😂
Which country are you from ???
I'm going to guess it is Thailand. But that argument could be applied to UK as well.😂
The video was about the PLO and leftist terror groups that historically dominated Palestinian nationalism, not Hamas. Hamas wasn't supported by the Soviets, they are funded and supported by Islamists such as the Iranian regime or Qatar.
Yes, Communist Party propagates liberation theology and Islamic socialism in East and South Asia, and incites various parties to make wars for the socialism international of Karl Marx. And all democratic parties are cooperating with communist party. And evolution or progress parties who say they are people self-determination. Because they worship people.
@@mardasman428that’s why Hamas leaders still keep visiting Moscow?
Actually, Palestinians caught for the Turks during WWI.
Thank you
1:40 I wouldn't call it "admiration".
The "second homeland" has a different meaning for the jews of that time in Israel.
Simply because most of them were coming to Israel from Sovjet Union, which always was one of the most anti-semitic countries in the world. From back in the days of Tzar.
Russian language is maybe in a row of the most used foreign languages in Israel, after arabic, english, and some others like French or German, even nowdays.
