It's the other way around bud. The people are the ones that want the governments to focus on the 'external' issues. This arguments is weak and mainly pushed by the governments themselves to silence the people, internal v. external issues is a paradigm the governments choose to separate issues that are otherwise totally linked. If the UAE benefits internally from an external issue, then this model is irrelevant, likewise if Egypt suffers internally from an external issue. The only example where one can grant you a pass is Iran, but even there, this only apples to the IL-PS as the external issue... but there's the issue of embargoes from the west imposed on Iran, hugely impacting the internal situation there. So in the end, it still remains a moot argument with little to no bite to it. This paradigm is only useful in massive superpowers where external issues only have a marginal effect on the internal situation, but no political entity in the middle-east is a superpower.

Great video! Some small corrections: 1. While during the 1973 Yom Kippur war Israel did cross the Suez canal and made some gains during the final phase of the war, they withdrew back to the Asian side of the canal following a renewed ceasefire. 2. The audio said Anwar Sadat was killed by the military, but it was an organisation called the Egyptian Jihad that assassinated him. They disguised themselves as soldiers and opened fire at him while he was observing a military parade, ironically one commemorating his "victory" in the 1973 Yom Kippur war.

There was one more: around the 3 minute mark the narrator said the Arab states agreed to reject Israel "until it gave Palestinians land back." This is ignoring the fact that until 1967 Israel did not occupy the West Bank or Gaza and those countries attacked anyway. The modern public Arab position, that of wanting a two state solution, was adopted later.

In 1972, Sadat expelled 20,000 Soviet advisers from Egypt and opened new diplomatic channels with Washington, D.C., which, as Israel’s key ally, would be an essential mediator in any future peace talks. He formed a new alliance with Syria, and a concerted attack on Israel was planned.

Why ? when did Arab states helped them ? '48 war was full of self interests and desires to annex territory (to Greater Syria aspiration or to Jordan, as the latter did, which isn't mentioned here, simply says "Arab control" in 02:45). Hell, the diversity is what made them lose that war.. Qawuqji couldn't stand El-Husseini, or Hassan Salame.. no co-ordination no nothing.. Palestinians themselves were divided with the extreme anti-partition policy led by El-Husseini, who were unfortunately the leading voice, against more moderates who were either pro-partition or up for discussion. Division even led to assassination of moderates like Sami Taha. '73 war was to revenge for the '67 loss and gain territories back. Some more Historical reasons why Arab leaders don't help them: Jordan- 1951 King assassinated, guess by who. 1970 Black September. Lebanon- 1975 dragged into an insane civil war partly/mostly (depends who you're asking) by Palestinian refugees. During this time, Syria also started having shakey relations with the Palestinians as a result. Kuwait- Palestinian refugees supported Saddam during the invasion Egypt- el-Sisi praying every night that Israel would finish Hamas. Can't stand them, they're a branch of the Muslim brothers, his worst enemies. Egypt co-decided and enforced the 2007 blockade for a reason. They always tied themselves with the extreme leaders.. Saddam, Ghaddafi, Idi Amin, always looking to incite and cause troubles in other places.. The only Arabs that are helping are other Iran proxys.. and that's the only reason they're helping.. Why would Arab governments be dragged into a surprise war made by a bunch of psychos ? Arab leaders know well enough who Hamas are. They know exactly what happened in Gaza between 2005-2007 (which isn't mentioned in the video), and they know that since then, Gazans life is made miserable by Hamas. This war, is just another one in a line of wars between Hamas and Israel, which gained nothing but more poverty and desperation for Gazans. Everyone realize that when Hamas took over, they blew a great precedent for the West Bank to be free of Israeli occupation as well.. They know Hamas is also Qatarian funded, and if you'll dive into the recent Qatar diplomatic crisis, you'll get another reasons why Arabs aren't the biggest fans of this. It's a weird headline for this video.. the Arab world was always split

Sadat refused to sign a peace deal with Israel unless they kept the gaza and the west Bank in israeli control as he did not want the Palestinians in his country

On the eve of the Yom Kippur war, Dovi, one of Marwan's handlers, told his bosses at Mossad that their mole in the Egyptian state demanded an immediate meeting between 4-5 October. The meeting was “to give information of great importance… connected to the ‘chemicals’ in his possession”. “Chemicals” was the code word for warnings about information concerning an impending war.

Ground really is an interesting sponsor. The Internet needed such news comparisons in one place a decade and few years ago

Marwan, the son-in-law of former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, told the then Mossad chief Zvi Zamir “there is a 99 percent chance that the war will start tomorrow… (Oct 6, 1973) it will start simultaneously on both fronts, the Egyptian and the Syrian”. Those warnings were largely dismissed by the Israeli defence establishment. But they proved accurate.

Video is great as usual. I'd give a tiny suggestion, make the video divided by chapters (as it's called in KZread) that'll clearly demarcate different aspects and subtopics inside the video (also, it'll clearly mark the Sponsorship segment).

I’m sorry, but you fail to mention one very crucial fact. Jordan and Egypt rules the the West Bank and Gaza Strip from 1948 until 1967 and didn’t even think about establishing a Palestinian state. There are two main reasons for that, first they considered the Arabs living on those territories as an extra ion of their own nations. Such as Jordan annexing the West Bank, and secondly they had an issue with Israel existing at all.

I really liked the video, how the information was presented and clearly explained my only negative comment is that the title is misleading. If anything, the video explains the repercussions of the Arab Spring on the conflict or how the Iran interference ended being a negative impact on the bigger picture rather than it being Hamas.

Your videos are so well made and your narration is extremely clear.

While I appreciate the depth you get into here in this video and that you can't possibly include everything, there are multiple instances where you gloss or entirely skip over information that can help viewers build a more complete and accurate understanding and opinion on the subject. Examples: - when Wa'el says "mainly European Jews" at 2:15, no context or time frame is given, ignoring the fact that the 1948 deceleration of Israel resulted in all of the Arab countries expelling their Jewish populations and so already in 1950 the majority of Jews in Israel were not "European". Regardless, this also plays into (mostly antisemitic) tropes claiming that Jews have no historical connection to the land are are "white, European settlers". - when talking about the early 2000s and peace between Israel and the Palestinians, ignoring the second Intifada as a potential reason for rejection of the Saudi peace plan, as well as the multiple peace initiatives and deals offered to the PA by Israel (for example Olmert agreeing to almost everything the wanted), makes it seem as if Israel rejected the only peace initiative, didn't initiate any themselves, and implies that Palestinians have no agency of their own.

I can't grasp the cognitive dissonance that you must have to believe that the withdrawal is a gesture of peace, despite it being coupled by an illegal blockade on air, sea, and ground. Israel made Gaza an open air prison and you dare to portray that with a positive view ? the withdrawal holds no importance whatsoever.

The narration on the videos is amazing keep up the work guys can't wait for the next videos

Thank you for making this video

The fact that this video is 007 makes it all the better, lets go James Bond!

I'm sorry but describing the 6-day War in 1967 as "Israel sparked another war and gained even more territory" is a gross mischaracterization of history, ignoring key facts, namely that Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping and mobilized their military along with Jordan and Syria was a prior escalation of conflict.

Throughout this Arab Monarchy

To say "Israel started another war 20 years later" is also omiting the fact the neighboring countries had troops assembled at the border

We had Jews living peacefully in the Arab world, until the creation of Israel, after which the conflicts started to arise, we started getting terrorist attacks from Jewish Zionists and spying activities. That lead to increase the heat on them and for President Nasser in Egypt to enforce them out.. Sure most of them were not terrorists, but have they created Israel in another place other than someone else lands or if the British give them another land the company would have arrived in another place away from the middle east Maybe they could buy some land in North America and live peacefully having their own country. If we need a country for only Jews to live in, why don't Muslims and Christians create their countries around religion again?

For someone uneducated on the subject this might seem like a fair recap of historical events. It is not. * Israel did not start the 1967 (six day war), Egypt did by closing the Straits of Tiran (an act of war), kicking out UN peace keeping force in Sinai and mobilizing on the border. * Israel invasion of Southern Lebanon was preceded by numerous terror attacks from PLO based in Southern Lebanon. * Israel did offer the WB back to Jordan during the peace talk, they didn't want it. * For that matter, Israel also offered the Gaza and over 92% of the WB (2000 Camp David). The Palestinian leadership (Yasser Arafat) refused. In 2008, Ehud Olmert offered Gaza and over 99% of the WB (with territorial swaps) and parts of East Jerusalem. The Palestinian leadership (Mahmoud Abbas) just walked out on it. * The blockade of the Gaza strip only began *after* Hamas took over, not before.

So many of your points are outright lies. Absolute Israel propaganda. Funny how you frame Israel giving crumbs to the Palestenian people as good will actions. Or how you frame resistance as terror attacks, but not the much more common, deadly and brutal Israel attacks. Just read your sentences. Arabs are bad for "starting" the 1967 war. But Israel isn't bad for starting the war against Lebanon. Arab resistance is terrorism and bad. Israel genocide can't be bad and is actually defense. The powerful is allowed to genocide, terrorize and murder hundreds of thousands, while the weak isn't even allowed to throw stones back. Whenever Israel talks, it reads exactly like Russia talking about Ukraine, English in Ireland, French in Algeria or Third Reich in Poland. Exact same words. Genocide, apartheid and settler colonialism. Of course Israel will pretend to give things back, and then claim Palestenians refused it. The powerful always do this obvious move. You have to be very stupid to fall for it. There will never be peace in the Region while Israel exists. Even after you kill all Palestenians, their brothers will remember. The only road for peace if the abolishment of Israel and the creation of ONE state for all christian, jewish, and muslim natives. Like christian, jewish, and muslim Palestinians been asking for decades.

Generally there was no actual 'Palestine' before 67, it was Jordan and Egypt You keep mentioning that the peace treaties were 'against the will' of the arab citizens- since when arab countries have any consideration to their peoples will?

"returning to their fatherland", no part of Palestine is or was ever their land. They preceded to steal and violently displace/kill the native inhabitants (Palestinians) living there -- which is typical colonial behavior. 'Palestine' existed throughout all of human history even referenced in the most famous classical books including Shakespeare's Othello, debunking your entire "67" claim (misinformation propagated to justify genocide of Palestinians). Your opinions are clearly biased, ignoring historical facts, and based mainly on zionist propaganda.

Saying that the Israelis sparked another war in 1967 when all their neighbours moved military equipment to their borders is a very nice hot take. 02:50 It was a preemptive strike, not a war insinuated by the Israelis.

Correction: In 1973 nobody invaded Israel. Egypt made a surprise attack on the IDF inside Egypt. Syria later attacked the IDF inside Syria. Both countries were trying to expel the IDF from Egypt and Syria respectively. Trying to expel an invading army from your country is the primary duty of any country's army. These attacks were not invasions of Israel or attacks on Israel. The 1973 war took place entirely inside Egypt and Syria.
