Israeli settlements, explained | Settlements Part I

I thought India-Pakistan is a mess... But this on another level....

It started with the British Me, an Indian: Here we go

What you failed to mention is that the settlers didn’t move in without permission. They moved in with government support and encouragement, kicked and demolished Palestinian homes and murdered many with full military support and then and only them they started to “settle” as you nicely and smoothly made it sound.

Unfortunately, this is what happened to my great grandpa. A home which we had owned for 6 whole generations was destroyed to make way for Jewish roads and settler movements without our knowledge. For hundreds of years, me and my family tree (dads side) had owned this land, and once it was flourishing with livestock, a market place, plants and trees for any fruit/veggie you could think of, a good university nearby, a mosque, a comfortably sized home, etc. Until Israeli settlers, dare I say unrightfully stole the land we’d been making for so long and claimed it as theirs. We now own 1/5th of the plants we used to and the other livestock, market place and house are now occupied by Israeli settlers completely not under our control. I now live in America but my grandparents unfortunately couldn’t afford to go to America so they illegally snuck outside the refugee camp we’d been out into and into Jordan. They were deported to Kuwait and that’s where my parents were born. My grandparents didn’t have enough money to go to America or stay in Kuwait so they moved back to a small, shady apartment in Jordan where they live now. It could’ve all been so different though. Better even.

Britain is the type of guy that will accidentally ruin a bookshelf in the library and just runs away

You know when there is a conflict between nations over land you know there is British involvement in that.

Never ask a woman her age. Never ask a man his salary. Never ask a British to draw maps.

Applauding all those here in 2023 trying to learn more about this conflict 👏🏽

British have a bad history dividing their colonies and leaving conflicts behind.

If you're looking at a global conflict and wondering how it began, Britain is usually a good place to start from

Israel support of settlers in the West Bank is a big part of what is causing the inflammation from Hamas

Honestly I knew this conflict was complicated, I didnt know how complicated it really was until this video

There is a saying in India "If two fish fight in the pond , the British are behind it"

I'm honestly surprised the comment section is enabled lol

No mention of how Israel was the first to attack in the 6 day war (1967). No mention Egypt's willingness to peacefully negotiate. As the UN Secretary of State Dean Rusk said: “They attacked on a Monday, knowing that on Wednesday the Egyptian vice-president would arrive in Washington to talk about reopening the Strait of Tiran.” Yes Egypt asked the UN troops to leave, and moved in military to take their place, but there is no mention in this video that Israel always had military massed near the border. All we hear is "Egypt pulled out U.N. troops and blocked the Strait of Tiran, so Israel had no choice but to bomb Egypt." It's interesting the excuses that the aggressor can make to defends its attacks.

Wow a history lesson from Vox about some of the most complex regions in the world in 10 minutes. It must be the truth.

You know it’s gonna be bad when Britain leaves literally anything

this is the worst colonialism ever

This seems to me a very good start on explaining the later history of Palestine. Look forward to the next part.

Absolutely change the law, Palestinian need to have their own airport, their own stuff free Palestine 🇵🇸
