An excellent presentation. A lot more historical analysis of events than displayed in most programs discussing the Palestinian issues. The British colonial objectives are explained and factually supported. I have a much better understanding of why Palestinians feel they were dispossessed of their land. A very informative program.

This is all so fascinating. This was only mentioned briefly in our history classes when I was a kid but digging deep into it now is just.... it brings all sorts of emotions and I'm Filipino.

Didn't the Spanish colinise the Phillipines first and named it after King Phillip the 2nd hence the name Phillipines. Then US came pretending to liberate the people and work with the indigenous to push out the Spanish, but in the end the Spanish handed the power over to the US. They both role played a war and the last stand of the Spanish and purposely kept the indigenous far out so they wouldn't know?

Easily the most informative documentary I've seen on this tragic situation. Well done.

It is not a tragic situation, it is a crime perpetrated by Europe against a third world country.

@Prophetic Angel Who predicted it and to whom? Didn't the people you mention steal the homeland of the Canaanites? Something about a battle at Jericho? All mythology though, as that battle never happened along with most of the things mentioned in the books Look up the names of those who created the new state. They are all central and eastern European. Herzl, Weizmann, Mabovitch, Grün, etc. Check on their real names as they often changed them to sound more "authentic". They knew nothing about Palestine and had no connections to it.

@Ned Ludd Palestine is really just philistine. Go do your research

@Prophetic Angel You should not stop at reading your mythology and try doing some historical research. You avoided commenting on all the damning points I made but one, and that one you got wrong. The Philistines were the people who lived in southern Canaan. "Palestine" is the Latin translation of the Greek word which is a cognate of the Hebrewd "peleshet". The ancient Egyptians also had their form of the word. Your book has nothing historical from the beginning to at least Joshua. All that was just vague oral tradition which was only written down after 600 BCE, i.e. hundreds of years after the supposed events. The creation myths were borrowed from other cultures. Exodus never happened. Joshua never fought a battle at Jericho whose walls were destroyed by an earthquake at least 100 years before before his imagined battle. The falsehoods just continue.

If you've landed on this page for whatever reason, I urge you to watch all four parts of this documentary. It is a masterpiece, documenting the inter-war machinations to dispossess the Palestian people of their land, the tragedy of their forced expulsion in 1948 and the indifference of both the Western and Arab countries to their plight which sadly, continues to this day.

I am sorry to hear that you believe these silly conspiracy theories

@Hagai Abeliovich please stop

@Hagai Abeliovich what are they exactly?

I have supported the Palestinians from the time I became aware. So sad but don’t give up. Ignore that ignorant comment that came before. Zionists feel threatened by this incredible documentary series and will say anything to discolor the Palestinians. I can’t wait to go back to Palestine for a visit.

This is a really fair and balanced documentary. One of the best ones on the subject I've seen. It deals with the Israel and Palestinian issues fairly.

There is nothing fair when it comes to the Palestinians. So sad!

Only palestine 🇵🇸 Isreal no because they didn't suffer like palestine

Well done Al Jazeera.👏👏 Amazing documentary. We expect more such documentaries❤️❤️

Outstanding documentary... keep up the good work!

This the historical book ever you can ever find " the bible" I'm not an israelite but that's their land thousands years ago; the Israelites cannot be defeated even if the whole world should gather, its fact Daniel 4:17 This is the decision of the alert and watchful angels. So then, let all people everywhere know that the Supreme God has power over human kingdoms and that he can give them to anyone he chooses -- even to those who are least important.’ Genesis 15:18-21 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates— the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites." Genesis 17:7-9 I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God." Then God said to Abraham, "As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.

Deeply researched documentary. An interesting view from "the other side" compared to the classic British narrative. Can't wait to see the next episode. Well done Al Jazeera !

Informative, honest and factual, excellent storyline, thank you! 👍

Far from it. This documentary shows exactly the fallacies and prejudices that led the Palestinian Arabs to unfortunately cause their own demise. There was no plot to dispossess them. They created a zero sum game and the other side had more to lose. They lost but are perpetuating the lies that led them into the abyss in the first place.

@Hagai Abeliovich god almighty. Have you even watched the documentary? Talk about being blind to the obvious! Ofcourse there was a plan. That is literally the point of the documentary!

Why hasn't this documentary been shown on American Public Broadcasting channels? This is a highly informative program and a perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that we don't normally see in the United States. Much of the film footage shown here is rarely seen.

PBS went corporate 20 some years ago . They would have showed this back in the early 1990's or earlier .

Truth is always hidden...

Because Al Jazeera is a biased source that cannot be trusted.

Because it is Propaganda from Al-Jazeera.

Because much of it is false. Calling the legal purchase of land stealing tells you the bent of the reporting. Also the population numbers are wrong. The 60000 they claimed displaced by one land purchase was laughable.

The music throughout this film is beautiful and brilliant! Id buy the soundtrack. Great editing, the timbre matches the segments alloted. Just great work!

What a wonderful country it was

It never was a country! Part of Ottomam empire, never a Palestinian State ever

What is a wonderful country it is, Palestine and Native Palestians will remain, the Israeli colonization will fail, and Israeli occupation of stop, Native Palestians will regain their lands, Inshallah.

Respect for AJ. Children at school around the world should be teached by this documentary.

When we depend on ourselves to teach our own children we will do well.

Fantastic documentary series. So good to hear the "other side" for a change!

You mean FAKE NEWS.

@Hugh Jazzole' oh year for sure

Any news that doesn't serve or uphold your delusional beliefs is "fake news." Stay mad.

@Hugh Jazzole' Point out at the fake information. It's all true and documented. And the worse is not even discovered yet, truth will always prevail whether you like it or not.

@Hugh Jazzole' Truth is always hardddddd😉

My life stories with Israeli apartheid: Since the Nakba in 1948, my Palestinian family has been displaced by Israeli forces from Jericho, their birth place, to three different refugee camps in the West Bank until they settled in one camp near Bethlehem, where they started their fourth new life after all of their assets they had in Jericho like houses, farms , shops, and lands were confiscated by the Israelis and simply given away to Israeli settlers who immigrated to Palestine from Eastern Europe. After that my dad worked almost all of his life for Israeli building companies in the occupied West Bank to secure basic needs for his children. My mum and despite her mental illness caused by the displacement trauma, had somehow and miraculously managed to keep us all alive , and together. However the saddest aspect of this brutal Israeli occupation was not the loss of our land in Jericho itself, but the overall poor living conditions we experienced under the apartheid military control where the Israeli soldiers can shoot and kill innocent Palestinians without being prosecuted. Of course, lack of basic human rights has been the main highlight of the Israeli occupiers who did not give neither my mum nor dad any health care, social care, life or health insurance , compensation for displacement , care home or even basic retirement salary as they later became frail and ill. My parents were lucky to bring up a family in such inhumane circumstances and for me they were my biggest heroes and without whom the story of my life would not be possible to tell. The story of my family is just one of millions of similar stories in Palestine and I’m sure there are more horrific stories to be told, but there are also many that can never be heard as their heroes are no longer with us.

Your Jewish (Palestinian) family was displaced by the Israelis?

Hopely the world will help, as we do with Ukrain.

Sorry this happened to your family, dear. I feel for all those families. It breaks my heart to see what you have to endure everyday. They're cruel and inhumane, but you know what? Karma is always watching and justice will be served someday. Stay strong -the good people of the world stand by you. 🖤💜🖤

@David Harner what jewish most of them are muslim not jewish stop and read history

@David Harner and yes Israel did that to the Palestinian people

Educating oneself is mandatory to making an intelligent opinion...especially when the shoe is on the other foot or we are condemned to repeat such tragedies.

Absolutely

It is a great documentary of enormous value..

My heart was screaming for the Palestinians! The injustice done to them is ineffable.... To this very day.

Where are you from may I ask? Do you know there has been been an independent Palestinian state? Do you know anything about the 1million jews In arab countries who were killed, tortured, robbed, and thrown out of their homes just for being Jewish? Why doesn't your heart cry for that?

@Edouard Hayat And your suggestion is?

The Jewish people lived in Judea (Jerusalem) 2000 years before Allan was invented.

@silverlake girl ..In 1947 the Palestinians were offered an independent state along with Israel but they rejected the two state partition… because they didn’t want to live in peace alongside Israel. Arabs moved into Palestine from neighboring Arab countries, like Egypt and Jordan. NONE of them were Palestinian, it has been ruled by the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Fatimids, Seljuk Turks, Crusaders, Egyptians and Mamelukes. Then the Ottomans 1517 /1917. Then it became British mandated Palestine till 1948. There was no King of Palestine because Palestine was NEVER a country. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

It is important to know these things but yet so frustrating to sit back and not only watch the pure evil that was happening then but to know it's continuing now. 💯🙏🏻😩

Consult the most remarkable documentary book on earth called the bible you will know what is beyond in this documentary

I'm not an israelite but that's their land thousands years ago; the Israelites cannot be defeated even if the whole world should gather, its fact Daniel 4:17 This is the decision of the alert and watchful angels. So then, let all people everywhere know that the Supreme God has power over human kingdoms and that he can give them to anyone he chooses -- even to those who are least important.’ Genesis 15:18-21 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates— the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites."

Then God said to Abraham, "As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.

@Gogo Nina I always love watching people try to justify putting my family in camps and destroying our home Palestine.

@Gogo Nina lol the ones there now are nothing as described in the bible.

I think as an Australian the same argument could be made that I'm not Australian and that there is no such thing ... So I understand how an individual can identify themselves from where they grew up . We all have this . I think using Religion or history as our measuring stick is a bad idea . We all done bad things even native tribes to eachother. If only religion was out of the equation it would be so much simpler.

Thank you so much for this incredible work

LOL don't get too emotional now :) this's aljazeera's version ... doesn't amount to facts ...! You should know, often when people blame "colonialism" or others, its to coverup their own failures... when corrupt leaders cant provide for their people, they provide "nationalism" or religion to control its people's minds... The ONLY catastrophe palestinians had was the failures of their own palestinian leaders who didnt accept the 2 state plan given to them in 1948 and wanted it ALL ! Brits actually gave more land to the palestinians than jews ... but their GREED & HATRED against jews lead them to wage wars against israel, that's how they lost their land... Blaming isreal is only an excuse for their own failures !

The British Partitioned all nations, why do you think you are special. Come on be realistic

@21researchdesign z2030 the f palestine 🇵🇸 people the one who suffered and got wars not Israel ok palestine people got killed trying to save their souls what Israel got wars no they don't never zero

@21researchdesign z2030 oh yeah we have to believe the BBC 's version right. Truth hurts anyways, so cry harder

"Don't trust foreigners" very wise words... Who understands these words more then us India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.. 200 years British rulled these India and sub continent countries. This is very sad to see how a country snatched slowly with a blue print plan. It's painful to see that your country is not anymore yours. You don't have a country to live... #FreePalestine

Pakistan hasn't even existed for 100 years yet and your talking about 200 years. That's afghan land back then.

Wake up please

Hold your breath until Palestine is free!

Mr steal your wife where was this in the video? thanks! "do not trust the foreigners"

Don't forget the Philippines, our country has been ruled by the Spaniards for 333 years in the past before and was ruled by America as well. Our people were oppressed, and we lost most if not all of our culture.

I'm watching this on Al Nakba day. It makes me ashamed and sad to be British. I pray for justice and peace for the Palestinian people who have suffered so much for so long.

Please watch the video, *"How we really became refugees, 13 Palestinians tell their personal stories"*

ALLAHU AKBAR....LA IL LAHE IL ALLAHU!!!!!

In 1947 Palestine was offered an independent state along with Israel but they rejected the two state partition… because they didn’t want to live in peace with Israel. Living in a country doesn't give you an automatic right to make it your country. Arabs moved there from neighboring Arab countries, like Egypt and Jordan. NONE of them were Palestinian, it has been ruled by the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Fatimids, Seljuk Turks, Crusaders, Egyptians and Mamelukes. The Ottomans 1517 /1917. Then it became British mandated Palestine till 1948. There was no King of Palestine because Palestine was NEVER a country. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

@Šemsa Matanović The Jewish people lived in Judea (Jerusalem) 2000 years before Allan was invented.

@Elaine Agreed - but you will never hear that from Al Jazeera. There never was A Palestinian state. They were long term squatters that are upset that the rightful owners returned home.

So horrific..i have been knew about the Palestine Conflict during the first half of 20th century with a roll of British invaders but as more nothing could be knew as i watched your program n enhance my knowledge..how brutal

Greetings from indonesia I love with palestine🇮🇩❤🇵🇸

Thank you Aljazera for this documentary, I have learned a lot.

We will never forget, we will never forgive 🇵🇸🇵🇸

Why to not forgive, to maintain the conflict? Just move on and face the reality

@Amit not forgetting nor forgiving is actually called “ facing the reality “

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸😥🕊️🕊️✌️

@Circular thousands of Palestinians have been affected with serious emotional and psychology issues over this. Neither they,nor their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren etc. will allow these memories to die. It may take until America meets its demise and can no longer dictate and bully the other western nations for Israel's billions of enemies to gather the military strength to take Israel down and subsequently allow the Palestinian people to return to their rightful homelands.

@Amit no what was stolen has to be returned

Brilliant documentary

The images and music are so moving. You're looking at a time and place that will never be again.

This should be shown on PBS & BBC, but of course that will never happen.

Excellent documentary ... I didn't know how much I didn't know!! ☹️...... Does anyone know the beautiful music which is being played at various times, eg at around 23:45 to 25:00? There are no credits shown.

Big up Al Jazeera this is a very educative documentary...plz to me I prefer a translator not translation

Are any Egyptian veterans from 1948 still alive? I’m looking for stories from them or memories from families.

Everything the British touch has turned into chaos until today.

Chaos still

LOL What an ignorant statement , Australia, N Zealand, Canada, South Africa, US, hongkong, singapore, Taiwan, ... the list goes on of world's top countries where you would only wish to live in if you live in any other countries! You should know, often when people blame "colonialism" or others, its to coverup their own failures... when corrupt leaders cant provide for their people, they provide "nationalism" , "patriotism" or religion to control its people's minds...

@21researchdesign z2030 "top countries"? go speak to the native populations. It became heavens of development for Westerners, while denying basic rights, oppressing and systematically erasing the presence of indigenous populations.

Except Australia Canada Nz and the empire

Beautiful- well-done. Free palestine, now and forever. I noticed the use of the Armenian Duduk in the musical score.

This video is the truth.. I have studied the facts recorded In history and this video is fact...

😥😥😥😥😥 I'm watching to gain more knowledge of the current situation. It's so sad, it's like they are wiping out the history and the heritage of the Palestinians. How evil can human beings be 😥😥😥

Isn't that what Islam did to every country they concured?? So bias

@zeik04 🥱🥱 so mad. I think crusaders were aliens? Yes they were aliens

​@unanimous cat so it justify what Isreal did. Nothing wrong here

Thanks Al Jazeera for this documentary

Knowledge is king.

This documentary is very educational. Great job. The Brits have been doing this since the Roman era. Now I see why they refused that black girl who thought she could be Queen. These people invented fascism.

Meghan Markle should have known what she was getting into. British colonial history is taught in American grade school through high school. Maybe she wasn't paying attention.

Meghan is mixed race, not black. Surround her with black people and she'll look like a Spaniard. That was just white women competing with a mixed girl over a white guy, which is quite common in Europe

Loved it

“Our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians” —Nelson Mandela

Hugh G. Rection very many people

I for one as a South African cares about it.🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Jp Ira Not Mandela. The president's that came after him.

Pa lie stine never exist here is Israel 🇮🇱 Jews land not Muslim

Who cares?

Best documentation

Excellent channel.

I hope there is peace and freedom between the two sides.

An honest documentary I ever seen!

I'm very interested in the source of the last sentence, anyone know where I can find this?

I'll pray for you comrades and my camaradas en Mexico, Centro y sur america ✊

They pop out of nowhere right in the middle of a settlement , take over everything and in the face of resistance ,say : We are defending ourselves.Pathetic

Hello, Willaim Islam and being a Muslim is NOT just what you are taught; it's what you choose. Islam is the a belief that a lot of people decide to choose. We have in this world, today at this exact moment, Muslim Americans and Muslim British who have chose to be Muslims,no one ever forced to do so. They have accepted to believe in Islam; no one washed their brains. I'm a Muslim. I have been through argeuments like this before and I learnt a lot from them. I would love to learn from you too

Really being Muslim is choice. True but in much of the world where Muslim hold power the choice is be Muslim or stop breathing. A Muslim that convert to any other religion can is often imprisoned or killed by the state or family. If you chose it freely than ok. But please don't insult the rest of us by claiming it's free choice for every one.

This is amazing

Save the children, save the people

It's quite sad that they used to work and live side by side without any problems.

yes cz there was palestinian jews and muslim but jews from abroad had notting to do in palestine is like me as a muslim saying suadi arabia is my land is not even logic

@Damka jews are an ethnic religious group while islam anyone can join by saying a few words. you cant compare them both, therefore yo example aint working

@zocon6 the reason u gave is also cringe

@unanimous cat who says cringe now days lmao

Hebrew was preserved for religious reasons. Of course the rabbis had a much better knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic but all religious Jews must also learn Hebrew in order to read the Torah. Of course, those who aren't so religious only learn the basics. Hebrew wasn't used except for religious reasons. The revival of Hebrew obviously changed that. It became the common language.

The problem is all the people that made this possible are all dead and the sad part is its still being continued even it is already 2021 with no shame.

love the classical music. Anyone knows the name of the piece?

it took 5 years to answer your question. it 'darude sandstorm'. it is the national anthem for youtube. thank me later

@Watson SakeCup darude - sandstorm is a 5 year old meme, it’s dead

@DillyDally dead to u . That masterpiece forever live

What Darude guys?? Your hallucinating..???

Bring forward a nation,tribe or any sort of establishment that have offered nothing other than oppression that has stood the test of time or resistance without being obliterated or self destruction.

Palestine will never give up remember all the brothers sisters mother father kids babes and many more killed by the Israeli and the loss of the home never forget

Living in hatred causes one to die much sooner.

Well, it’s surrender or fall. Choose wisely.

Sabra chatila 😭😭😭

Of course in the case of Ashkenazim, who had a very strong admixture with Europeans, the connection they felt to Europe was probably even stronger. However, the severe discrimination and massacres they suffered in Europe, along with the rise of European nationalism in the 19th century made them realize they needed Israel's independence in order to ensure their survival and self determination. The Holocaust only reinforced that sentiment.

@Seán Murphy Let's first ask ourselves what did the Jews do to the Germans to truly understand what happened

@Kevin Kirby that's a European problem and should've had a European solution. Taking a chunk of Germany would've been justified and was offered at one point. But instead they were interested in the racist "ancestral homeland" concept and thought that justified ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians.

@Seán Murphy The European Solution was 1933.

It's amazing that they don't have any shame

Changing the maps of other countries was the job of imperialisme

In summary, it was all about land possession. They (the rulers, govrrnments, leaders, kings, or whatever you call them) are the starter of wars. We people are no more than insects (like ants) of different species fighting for teritories and yet call ourselves the highest living creature on earth. In the end, the workers of the species, who feeds even the kings and rulers and soldiers, are the most affected. The kings, queens, and soldiers becomes fat, big, strong and powerful without even working for their food to eat while the worker becomes weak, small, and poor. A sad life for all species. But i still hope that there will come a time where there are no more boundaries in nations and all have their on place on earth. I think this will happen when all people have cross breeds with all species. Arab x jews x malays x whites x blacks x yellows x reds x hindus x asians x americans x europeans x africans x etc. If you have all the bloods of every nation, which will you side? The only difference will be your greed and fear. The fear of losing becomes greed and the greed for everything becomes fear of having nothing.

What should've happened is that both groups, the Palestinian Arabs and the newer Jewish settlers, came together and formed their own joint state by ridding themselves of their British overlords.

*Zionists never wanted a joint state.* Palestine was to become an exclusively Jewish state, according to the Zionist plan. The British, for all their ulterior motives, actually wanted a democracy, with all citizens remaining, and having one vote each. The Zionists first chased out the British, and then evicted the Arabs.

@Red Poppy Absolutely not as you describe. The Brits were given a MANDATE to create a homeland for the Jews while respecting other locals rights. This was after a unanimous vote by the LoN and the land allotted was the totality of the land west of the Jordan river. No Jew was to remain on the east in order to make an Arab state. Some Brits then went to promise (without any right to do so) all the lands to the Arabs: they had no legal power to do this but the Arabs use this as a justification for their claims. There never was any Arab state there in history.

@Ben Enivel no his words are so true

Here in Germany every pupil is SICK after years of history lessons abt WW2 & the holocaust - instead, the educational plans should integrate the Nakba, so at least see the tragic consequences of giving illegally land away and creating a state on besieged territory.

Peace will only come when the Palestinians have justice, and when all can live together with respect, perhaps true peace will need the presence of the Christ who some say is now in the world.

The Israelis were given there so called promised land because the rest of Europe did not want them on there lands. That's the sad truth unfortunately

Does anyone know the name of the piano tune used in the documentary throughout please?

I’ve watched this twice and I am still confused. The video said that the Jewish National Fund bought 10,000 dunam in the north. Then immediately afterwards, the video says that this was a hardship on the farmers who had to leave the land. If the land didn’t belong to the farmers, who did it belong to? Was it a tenant-farmer situation? If so, it wasn’t the fault of the Jewish National Fun who bought it; it would be the fault of whomever sold it. The man who spoke immediately after this fact, Wakeem Wakeem, spoke of this as an expulsion. How is it an illegal seizure or illegal expulsion if the land was sold to the Zionists legally? The next confusing thing about these 10,000 dunam is the amount of people who were supposedly displaced. If you convert 10,000 dunam to square miles, you get 3.8 or round it up to 4, 4 square miles. The video said that approximately 60,000 farmers and their families were displaced from the land because of this sale. How on earth did 60,0000 people live on 4 square miles without high rise apartment buildings? Something doesn’t add up.

In the opening of each episode, there is a really beautiful peice of music playing. Anyone know who/what it is please? Thanks.

Sorry can't help. But if you are interested in similar sounding music go online and search for a superb Jewish composer / player called Yari Hermen. He is a modern pianist with some of the most melodic haunting music out there.

AWESOME 😊😊😊

Who are the historians/authors of the documentary series?

Witnesses, original historical preserved documents,

Thanks for your channel 👍🙏😀

Palestine forever 🇵🇸

Palastian forever in a deep sh..... Stoked in the same place for 73 years Only HAMAS will "HELP" you 😜

The British should be compensating lots of different countries.

LOL don't get too emotional now :) this's aljazeera's version ... doesn't amount to facts !

Starting with my country Ireland.

False dummie

Joe, I'm curious. is what what they teach you about this history class, or did you gather that info from the internet?

Not sure but since they do this as a job I guess they have special license to access museum records and such 🤷‍♀️

Hhhhhh answer 8+ years later

@Lulu Lulu 8 years later Palestine still needs to be free

This is from British national archives Go check it 🙂

I was wrong this is very authentic

In order to solve the conflict they have to find common ground. This is why it's important for both sides to learn about their common Israelite roots and the benefits of their reunification under a one state solution, based on the principles of Rationalism, Secularism, Liberalism, Multiculturalism and Social Democracy. This is the best solution for both sides.

Correction: Palestinian roots

SOMEONE PLEASE SHARE THE NAME OF THE PIANO PIECE FROM THE INTRO!!!!! 🧐THANK YOU!!!!!

القدس لنا..

This the historical book ever you can ever find " the bible" I'm not an israelite but that's their land thousands years ago; the Israelites cannot be defeated even if the whole world should gather, its fact Daniel 4:17 This is the decision of the alert and watchful angels. So then, let all people everywhere know that the Supreme God has power over human kingdoms and that he can give them to anyone he chooses -- even to those who are least important.’ Genesis 15:18-21 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates— the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites." Genesis 17:7-9 I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God." Then God said to Abraham, "As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.

The motivating factor for creating a “Jewish Homeland” in Palestine doesn’t seem to be solely built on claims of Jewish suffering at the hands of western Europeans or Americans, but simply for being a colonial out post for imperial France, and then Imperial Britain.

Reading the comments it's like everyone has their own history books.

I agree Native Palestians lived in Palestine for thousands of years continuously for thousands of years, while the neo-colonial Israeli government was formed very recently in the 1940s.

I wonder why that is......... So many Lies and Propaganda or, economic with the facts in schools etc... I fear the truth is being destroyed at an alarming rate on this subject. The future is what's out in the children's minds and they are all visiting Concentration camps nd coming home feeling all guilty. They would never be exposed to these facts. either way, good thought-provoking comment , well said!

@syed ali Jews are from Judea and were exiled by the Romans who renamed the land to (Syria-)Palaestina. That's consensual history. So are you claiming Palestinians are Arabized Jews, who are from the tribe of Judah part of the 12 tribes of Israel (children of Jacob), who were basically Canaanite tribes that formed after Phoenician society collapsed? Or are you claiming they are Philistines, who came from Crete/Greece? Palestine is latinised/greek form of Philistine which comes from Egyptian/Hebrew Peleshet/Plishtim as you surely know, meaning "land of foreign invaders". "Native Palestinians" or "native foreign invaders" would be an oxymoron. So what did Palestinians call themselves before the Islamic conquest and Arabization? What was their native tongue? According to your history book.

@Long-Ball-Larry Jewish people were not native to Europe but how they were essentially expelled from the place where they were born and raised is still wrong. It was The Jewish Question in the 1800s-1940s and we all know how that ended...in genocide. Now it’s “the question of Palestine”. I agree that the Jews should have a state but this situation was so clearly motivated by political power. I do not blame the Jews who were just looking for a safe haven but the British took advantage of the situation.

@Mark Nolde what a terrible comment but in answer to you 'That is NONE Of Your Business!!!

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE DOCUMENTARY OF THE FOUR OR FIVE WOMEN WHO WERE BORN IN 1948 IN Palestine. It showed a few days ago on Al-Jazeera.

Julie G Julianne G it’s called “born in 48”

Look how the British weakened the Muslim grip of power in Malaysia by bringing in foreign workers- Indian and Chinese.When they were about to give independence to the indigenous people,they issued an altimatum to the latter - accept the foreigners as fellow citizens or no independence at all

When the european and western world meddled in the mid-east . . . and the problems are worse today than in 1948.

I need the name of that intro song, it's amazing

I know what its called

Let me know if you find that song

@Jordan O what is it?

WHAT IS IT???????? 😃

I don’t disagree with much of what you said except the part about European Jewry was able to preserve their “language” as Hebrew is a revived language. Only the learned and the Rabbis spoke it before the dawn of the twentieth century, and most European Jews did not see themselves as an ethnic solidified group before WWII.

It is a win for one side and for the losing side it is a catastrophe. Common sense 101.

And that's the way the cookie crumbled...

SO WHAT IF THIS IS AN EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY, DONT YOU ALL GET IT? THIS IS HOW THE WORLD GOT SCREWED.

I would agree with your assessment; however I fear that the outcome of the Modern state of Israel will be bleak if it does not change course on its own policies. The Zionists, as it seems, are not interested in what you’re proposing.

where can i find this with spanish translation ?

Albanian same 🙏 Tnx Al Jazirah for this objektiv and good documentar mouvie .

Perhaps click the cc in the upper right corner.

I wish they would have used english voice overs instead of subtitles . This is the sort of video i would like to listen to rather than watch .

Its a historical doucmentary where images are important along with the soundtrack to have a complete understanding.

At the end of the day the British failed miserably at partitioning the Middle East; just like their partioning of India was a catastrophe. In both cases of partition, the legacy of the Brits was decades of never ending conflict. Jordan should have been split into two countries; one for the Palestinians, and one for the Hashemites. This would have stopped all disputes, and unnecessary conflicts.

Al Jazeera is as good place for objective video on the subject as Katar is Ambassdor For LBTQ rights

فلسطين الحبيبه. النصر الك انشالله

This documentary, like most others on the subject, ignores opposition to the Balfour policy which included prominent British Jews. Most notably by the only Jew in the government cabinet, Sir Edwin Montegu. Read his memorandum on the Balfour letter. What he predicted in it has come true. He wasn't the only one. There was widespread political opposition in Britain to the policy. It was not a foregone conclusion. It seems that Parliament never had the chance to vote on it.

He only opposed it because he was an international. He wanted to turn the entire world in Palestine (which they failed in Germany in 1933)

دول عربيه جميله جدا❤. مشكلتنه خانتنه خليج منعوله وبعدين عرب كلهم خانونه💔

please don't use the word aristocrat you should call them the deplorable people of the century or the criminals of the 20century

Great Documentary full of resources.

Such admixture doesn't make them less Israelites. In fact, admixture has always been part of Israelite and Levantine History. The Israelites emerged as a confederation of Levantine tribes and other people who settled in the Levant, including the semi-nomadic warriors of Hurrian and Babylonian origins known as Habiru (Hebrews).

From the river to the see Palestine will be free .love from Algeria to our palestinian brothers and sisters

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🐒🇵🇸

@Eli's World Connection Get help.

What amazes me is that power, greed, and colonialism lead to genocide. The land was not ordained by Yah for any of the governments, countries, or people that have occupied or currently occupy the land.
