    In 1948, Jordan took control of the West Bank and Egypt took control of the Gaza Strip, leaving the Palestinians with no land in which to declare a nation (and the Palestinians did not declare any desire to form a state when occupied by these nations). The other Arab countries were more than happy to expand their nations at the expense of an independent Palestine. BTW, except for Jordan no Palestinian refugees have been given citizenship status in other Arab countries (for over 75 years). These actions imply that the other Arab nations have no real loyalty to Palestine and use it as a political ploy only for internal political reasons.

    @@user-cy4wj5ds2o - Yeah? so how come they said nothing in 1948? From 1948 to 1967 the Palestinians did not establish a state when Jordan and Egypt ruled over Judea and Samaria and Gaza. they never said a word like occupation. know why? Because it was an Arab conquest of a Muslim country. It was only when the Jews occupied the place in the war of existence that the Arabs got angry and started creating blood plots that Jews get up in the morning and look for people to murder them, just like that, like Dracula. The Palestinians never established a state here and when they were offered 80 percent (1947) they said no. The Jews prayed to Jerusalem for thousands of years, built Solomon's temple there 2500 years before Muhammad was born and Zion (Zionisem came from zion) - the ancient name of Jerusalem is mentioned 150 times in the Torah as the place God chose for his people, Israel.

    There are several important facts left unsaid in this summary. Let’s consider two. Firstly, the British Mandate for Palestine (1920-48) consisted of land on both sides of the Jordan:: west (“Jews allowed”) and east (“Jews excluded”). The eastern half was three times as large, and allegedly of higher quality land for agriculture. Secondly, in 2005 Israel disengaged from Gaza. Within two years HAMAS was in power, and has de facto been the responsible authority there until now. Neither of these two important facts are discussed in the al-Jazeera report.

If you declare war on a country and the country fights back and wins, including extra land, the land belongs to them. That is simple to understand. Also, Hamas did not automatically end up controlling Gaza. There was a civil war, and Hamas sent the Abas party/faction out of Gaza with guns. You are so economical with the truth.

    I have no opinion on most of what you said, but the United Nations explicitly states that you cannot conquer land by war. Even if you're defending. Hitler sort of illustrated the problems with that. Just wanted to correct you on that point. In no legal way does the land belong to Israel unless we throw out the rules-based order we've spent 70 years building. The rest of this is a mess, but that part is absolutely crystal clear, without a doubt. And almost the entire world including Israel's allies agree with that statement.

    Right. Typical Al Jazeera news, carefully crafting a narrative that avoids inconvenient truths. She never mentions who attacked first, just that a war somehow mysteriously began. I wonder why… also she totally leaves out the persecution of Jews in the Middle East/North African diaspora and their claim to their indigenous homeland - even though they comprise the majority of Israelis, she only mentions migration of European Jews to Israel. Further she gives in depth explanations featuring these other talking heads defending Palestinian violence against Israelis - but when it comes to the reverse, she just essentially blames Israeli nationalism without going into detail.

    The video ignores an important point. While the term “Palestine” is used today to describe what became Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, at the time of the British Mandate, Palestine also included what is now Jordan. In 1922 Britain detached 78% of Palestine to become the Arab/Palestinian state of Trans-Jordan (now Jordan), and the League of Nations declared that the remaining portion should become a Jewish state (only later did Britain and then the UN decide to further divide the remaining portion into two parts). So it’s not very accurate to state that Israel had 78% of Palestine in 1948. In reality it had 15%. It also seems a little suspect that the video qualifies the count of 1,200 killed Israelis after October 7 with, “That’s according to the Israeli authorities” but does not qualify the count of killed Palestinians as being supplied by Gaza's Ministry of Health. Nor does it mention that that number does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. I’m not disputing either number, but it does indicate some level of bias.

    I get that Israel's response to Palestine is exessive, and that perhaps the Arab nations and the West should do more to further a two state solution. The truth is that Israelis are not going anywhere and Palestinians are not either. I think this video's title was strategically used to bait watchers into watching it. It does bother me everytime they claim Israel has not accepted a two state solution simply because reasons. Israel does not want that constant threat of being attacked. Look at what happened with the PLO, it is useless now. Hamas has gained control of Palestine until the recent war. Israelis understand that Palestine is not truly ready to become a state, not if it has no real peaceful leadership. At this point, I get that it is hard to start fresh with all the massacres that have taken place. The problem is that Israel is not going anywhere, and Palestinians deserve a better life. Perhaps a buffer de-militarized zone is required, something in between Israel and Palestine. Perhaps Israelis should move out of the occupied territories as a sign of respect. There is much room for improvement. Israelis should admit that they don't think highly of Palestinians at all, and that retaliations are often brutal to say the least. Palestinians should also realize that Israel is not stupid enough to grant a two state solution to a place run by unlawfull people to say the least. There is a lot of lying and bs on both sides, including this news media and the cute host.

    My understanding directly from Dennis Ross, is that Arafat rejected the best deal he was ever going to get. 97% of the green line territory, plus 3% compensating land in Israel, capital in East Jerusalem, etc. Arafat responded with an Intifada. Israel electing right-wingers was a response to this. The electorate had voted for peace-makers until the process failed. For there to be any hope, the Israeli public needs to believe there is a partner for peace; which they don’t. Israel could evacuate many of the settlements; I don’t think that’s the sticking point some believe. It’s the fact, especially after Oct 7th, that the populations don’t trust each other at best, and hate each other at worst. And until there is a functioning government in the West Bank and Gaza, there really isn’t anybody even to talk to. Honestly the best solution may be for Egypt to administer Gaza and Jordan to administer parts of the West Bank for a generation or two until a generation can be brought up who believes in peaceful co-existence.

    Alas, Jordan and Egypt have zero interest in taking on that project. Jordan has a bad history with the Palestinians trying to overthrow their government, and is glad to have a border between them and the West Bank. Egypt feels similarly about Gaza - with Hamas being strongly connected to the Muslim Brotherhood which is fighting the Egyptian government. To administer the territories, they would need to militarily occupy them, and fight the same struggles that Israel is fighting - but with a less robust economy to support their forces. I do understand your point tho - it would be a possible solution im some areas, if only it would work in these other areas, which it unfortunately does not.

The Arab portion contained most of the arable land in the divided region.

Before the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, there was the Ayubid Arab-Kurdish Empire, not a Palestinian state. 5. Before the Ayubid Empire, there was the Frankish and Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, not a Palestinian state. 6. Before the Kingdom of Jerusalem, there was the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, not a Palestinian state. 7. Before the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, there was the Byzantine empire, not a Palestinian state. 8. Before the Byzantine Empire, there were the Sassanids, not a Palestinian state. 9. Before the Sassanid Empire, there was the Byzantine Empire, not a Palestinian state. 10. Before the Byzantine Empire, there was the Roman Empire, not a Palestinian state. 11.

Before the Seleucid empire, there was the empire of Alexander the Great, not a Palestinian state. 14. Before the empire of Alexander the Great, there was the Persian empire, not a Palestinian state. 15. Before the Persian Empire, there was the Babylonian Empire, not a Palestinian state. 16. Before the Babylonian Empire, there were the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, not a Palestinian state. 17. Before the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, there was the Kingdom of Israel, not a Palestinian state. 18. Before the kingdom of Israel, there was the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, not a Palestinian state. 19. Before the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, there was an agglomeration of independent Canaanite city-kingdoms, not a Palestinian state. 20. Actually, in this piece of land there has been everything, EXCEPT A PALESTINIAN STATE. A little more history for those wanting to 'restore Palestine'. In 132 AD the Emperor Hadrian resolved to stamp the Jews and their religion out of existence. He sold all Jewish prisoners into slavery after the revolt of Bar Kikhba, forbade the teaching of the Torah, renamed the province Syria Palaestina, and changed Jerusalem’s name to Aelia Capitolina. He renamed Israel to wipe out the national identity of Israel and the Jews. So if you are looking to 'restore Palestine to the Palestinians', you need to give it back to the Jews.

    2:58 "The growing Jewish population led to growing tension with the local Arab population, the Palestinians" Wrong. Local Arabs were not at this time known as Palestinians. This was a term for all the people living in Palestine including the Jews. 3:10 "A British commission suggested partitioning the land, but there was no support for the idea." Wrong. Jews wholehearted supported partitioning Palestine and accepted a state much smaller that modern Israel that did not include Jerusalem even thought this was considered a major concession. The "Zion" of Zionism is Jerusalem. Arabs rejected this plan and instead attacked the small Jewish community hoping to prevent any Jewish state from ever forming. 5:01 "[The Green Line is] is the internationally recognised borders of Israel." Wrong. This is a ceasefire line, not a border. Though Israel has signed peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan, borders were not agreed to in those treaties. Israel agreed to withdraw from the Sinai peninsula, Egypt renounced claims to Gaza, and Jordan renounced claims to all lands west of the Jordan River. The West Bank and Gaza thus became Israel's occupied territories captured in defensive wars with their status to be determined at a future date. 5:17 "There was another war. Israel pushed out Jordan and Egypt." Nice passive tense. I think you meant to say that Egypt, Jordan, and Syria attacked Israel unprovoked with the intention of wiping Israel off the map, massacring the Jews, and dividing up its territory amongst themselves. They failed miserably. 7:36 "Israel takes the 78%, puts it in its pocket and then negotiates over the remaining 22%". Wrong. Israel agreed to territorial concessions and land swaps that included giving Palestinians territory west of the Green Line. Arafat rejected these agreements. 13:16 "Once you're not ready to freeze the settlements, you give the message that you don't agree to a Palestinian state." Only if you accept the premise that Jews should not be allowed to live in a future Palestinian state. Only the Palestinians have bought into this racist, apartheid idea. 14:44 "There haven't been elections since that vote in 2006." Again, obfuscating with passive voice. The Palestinian Authority has refused to hold elections even though their constitution requires them. Palestinian rulers are not interested in democracy, nor in creating a state to govern because they have gotten rich through the conflict with Israel and by stealing international aid intended for Palestinian "refugees". 16:13 "Israel is politically, economically, diplomatically, internationally and obviously militarily totally dependent on the United States." Israel won its wars in 1948, 1967 and 1973 without U.S. military assistance. For much of that time, the U.S. refused to sell weapons to Israel. Only a quarter of Israel's trade is with the U.S. It does more business with the EU, and also counts China and India as major trading partners. 17:45 "Hamas's position [on the two-state solution] is less clear." They're very clear. In 2020, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said, "We will not recognize Israel, Palestine must stretch from the River to the Sea." That means no Israel. They have also repeatedly stated that Jews should be killed wherever they live. Hamas is unequivacally a fascist, genocidal terrorist group. They've proven it over and over in word and deed. When will people believe them? 18:05 "[Israeli] officials from the Prime Minister down have repeatedly rejected [a two-state solution]". Then is should be possible to find a quote from and actual Israeli government minister instead of an ambassador to the UK that has been clumsily edited to take it out of context. 19:35 "Human rights groups describe as apartheid." Wrong. Israel does not practice apartheid. Israeli Arabs have the same rights as every other Israeli and serve at all levels of Israeli society and government including in parliament and the Supreme Court. All of these lies are not surprising from the official mouthpiece for Qatar, a state providing refuge and support to Hamas terrorists.

    In 1977, PLO leader Zuheir Mohsen said "The Palestinian people does not exist ... there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. We are all part of one people, the Arab nation [...] Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity. Because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism. The existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons". They came up with the "Palestinian" identity in the 1960s in order to justify why Arabs receiving some 99.3% (Peel Commission) or 98.1% (UN Partition) of the lands of the British and French mandates was not enough, and that Jews shouldn't get anything despite being in the majority in the lands designated in both plans.

Dispensing with the unreality of a "two-state solution" is a good start. Pursuing a Palestinian "stake" in the Nation of Israel is a voice that can be heard. But before that can be a reality Palestinians must agree that the "stake" they pursue is not a stake through the heart of Israel. Palestinians must reject terror. That cannot happen until terror as a force for change is utterly defeated.

At 18:33 , it's clear that the Israeli ambassador was cut off in the middle of her sentence and the subtitles indicated it was the end of a sentence, creating a misleading effect. It sounded like she was going to say "no unless" but I'm not sure. I also noticed at 16:39 that the figures for death tolls on Oct 7 and in Gaza were presented as "according to Israeli officials", but not as "according to Hamas officials." Finally, I noticed that though the Nakba and the Palestinians who were displaced during it were discussed, there was no discussion of the approximately equal number of Jews who were displaced from nearby Muslim-majority countries and who had to flee to Israel as refugees during the same time period. I think this is an important piece of information to include. But overall I found the video informative.

They prefer the jews llike dhimmis. I think, that that describes very good their mentality. About 800 000 jews had to leave the arab countries after the foundation of Israel. About 800 000 arabs had to leave theirs homes after being told by their chiefs to leave the country, so that those chiefs can push the jews to the sea. And you dont have to forget that those 800 000 arabs came mostly from the other arabs countries. Irak, Jordanie, Egypt, Syria.. You can see this, by looking at their names. They come to Israel, for they hoped to have a better live there, I imagine.

    800k Jewish people did leave the neighbouring countries, but to say that they "had" to is a misunderstanding of the events at the time. The majority of Jewish migrations into Palestine, now Israel, was voluntary emigration for the purposes of consolidation, in an expectation that they had finally been successful in their divine promise. By contrast, the expulsions of Palestinian people is nowhere to be found in the Hebrew texts. In other words it was a choice to move. I'm sure not all had hostile intentions, but the establishment had hostile ramifications, which has never quelled since.

    No, this is not correct, Israel is the ancestral home of the Jews. it is their only homeland. the Israelis always wanted peace and offered it to the Palestinians with Land, but the Palestinians want more and more and more it, and they are never happy. So this sounds like more of a one state solution to me. The Palestinians only want to have that Land they don’t wanna give it to Jews. This is evident throughout the whole of the history. The voices that are being drowned out, here are the Shah of Iran Who understood the Palestinian situation very very well. He called them bullies . Arafat based his war on Israel, on the success of the FLN in Algeria against the French the FLN demonised the French and created an international condemnation against the French and eventually the French left full stop in every country that Islam is taken over they behaved in the same way. Israel is no different The fact is Israel is the only Middle Eastern democracy. It looks after its Arab and Muslim and Christian inhabitants. There’s no other country that does that in the Middle East.

    I have watched this conflict, prayed about it, spoken out, voted for candidates who were for peace,and done everything in my power to make peace in this land happen. I am done. People don't care enough about this conflict to listen to both sides. Netanyahu has used his power for years to take more and more land from the Palestinians. And radical extremists on both sides have done everything in their power to stop every effort from succeeding. There are people on both sides that want peace. But every plan and agreement is sabotaged by people on both sides who refuse to let peace happen. All the other Arab nations have kept the Palestinians armed, and kept the radical extremists in power, at the expense of the Palestinian civilians. I don't see any of these nations helping Palestinian refugees. Nobody wants them in their country. They are being used as pawns on the stage of international theater. The fact is that nobody in Israel and Palestine are going to have peace because of the determination of those who insist on destroying the other. The United States has armed Israel to protect the Jewish people who live their. But most of us don't want Israel to continue to steal the land. Israel does not recognize the human rights of Palestinians, and Palestinians don't recognize that there are some Jews who want peace. I am so tired of it.

I don't know what will happen to these people if there is no law to protect the civil rights of every man, woman, and child regardless of their religious beliefs. There must be a government that protects the rights and property of all people. Not a government just for Jewish people, or just for Palestinians. There must be a separation between church and state. People must be protected and represented. Land must not be stolen. People must stop killing each other.

    I have to say that surprisingly this is more or less an accurate description of how the events have unfolded. I did not understand how from 500K Arab residents according to what I believe is the British records, there were 700K Arabs removed from the houses in a matter of years. But every number outside of the British records are always changing, and I get it. The reason why Palestinians never got a country has to do I believe, with their tendency to terror and violence together with the geographical location of the West Bank. Israel did not have a problem giving back Gaza. I don't believe even the settlements are an issue, they were originally set there as a defense line against Jordan. The problem is that Israel is supposed to trust the Arabs in the West Bank, that if they were to declare a country, they would not initiate an attack against Israel. Different from Gaza, such an attack will be more devastating because it is so close to Israel's nerve systems. And Israel never took that leap of faith, and the Palestinians only became more affiliated with Terror acts instead of showing any different side of them.

It's totally impossible to divide the land, it will only lead to the destruction of Israel and Palestine. The future is a United States Of Israel-Palestine, what I call ( the United States of IsPine ) Don't expect it now, but one thing I know is we surely will have the 2 people living as one family one day. Don't even think the Arab world, The West or the Communist can help make this a reality because their selfish interest won't allow. Only the people of Palestine and Israel can make the decision to stop fighting and start building a future together.

    This is amazingly well-balanced coverage. The only thing I would add is a criticism of a one-state solution. This effectively ends Israel as a Jewish state, and I'm not sure that the world is ready for that. Christianity and Islam are both inherently antisemitic, and that's like 60% of the world's population. I think that the Jewish people can make a case for needing a safe haven, and that goes away with a one-state solution. Until the numbers of the religious drops further, this just seems to be the case. As a disinterested party, the more I learn, the more I'm reminded that the people closest to a problem tend to be the ones best able to find the solution. The sad thing here is that both sides seem to have independently come to the conclusion that the solution is killing the other side. The US needs to stay out of this.

    One thing here is that even an 'unjust' solution has merits for the losers if it's definitive. If hypothetically Palestinians had accepted, or been forced to accept, an even worse deal than they were offered in 1940s - say one that _just_ included Gaza. Well that would suck - millions would be displaced. It would be objectively a calamity for the Palestinian people. But... now, 80 years on, almost everyone who was displaced would be dead, and it would be their grandchildren, most of whom would have no direct personal experience of living under Israeli occupation, in positions of power. Displaced Palestinians would have been given citizenship in the countries they fled to, intermarried with the local populace and now be 'Egyptians/Moroccans/Syrians with Palestinian heritage'. With a stable, immobile border and no drip of Israeli aggravations in the West Bank, groups in Gaza advocating for the armed reconquest of territory would likely be relatively fringe. The total amount of Palestinian suffering caused by this dispute over land would be much reduced. This isn't just an Israel/Palestine thing - it's true everywhere. Over the long-term, more unjust, but definitive and geopolitically workable, solutions are better than 'fairer' solutions that leave serious political issues unresolved to fester. If there is one thing to say for pre-20th century wars of conquest, they were relatively definitive.
