Israel Palestinian Conflict: The Truth About the West Bank

[denniscasey5]

Isn't it funny how when the Israelis make a video, they try to calmly explain their views. In contrast when their enemies make a video they just cut someone's head off or scream about wiping people off the map.... Hmm what a contrast!!!

[fernandatralala]

In resume, the Palestinians should thanks Israel for having today a land to claim. A land that was illegally occupied by Jordan. If Israel had not taken back the West Bank, the jordanians would have maybe killed the Palestinians like they did on Black September. So... stop being ungraceful, Palestinians! And thanks Israel!

[kaptenmange]

@ccmutlu Palestina is the nazis

[emiraoemir]

So what you are basically saying is to Palestinian people is suggesting to leave West Bank and migrate to Jordan bec Israel already did big compirimise i 1940's by accepting 26% of so called historical jewish land. :). You are so funny...

[lironbh]

@voteformariam no archaeological evidence for the existence of Solomon's temple? excuse me, but you should look up The Western Wall, the only leftover of the temple and the most sacred place in the world in the eyes of the Jewish people.

@SgtH3nry3 Egypt before Nasser in 1952 was NEVER ruled by an Egyptian since Cleopatra in 30 BC, so for 2000 years Egyptians did not rule Egypt... Does that mean that it does not belong to them?? If ALL countries in the Arab world were established after WWII which is after the colonial countries decided to withdraw from this area of land, this is when ""COUNTRIES AS COUNTRIES"" started to exist in modern age, Palestinians didn't get their own state on their land and now its about time isn't it?

[BroadwayRonMexico]

@coolestagent Cleopatra wasn't actually Egyptian, BTW.

After Alexander and until the Roman conquest, the ruling dynasty of Egypt was Greek.

[SgtH3nry3]

But that doesn't mean the Palestines cannot have their own country in modern times. This video just shows that wrong facts have been used.

If Israel and Jordan could cooperate, this whole issue could be over. I do think that these Israeli settlements are illegal because it is disputed territory and it is just harassment.

[Pledgeist]

in order to understand the conflict lets go back to the root,we must first know who is the first aggressor,before 48 there was no Israel,there was a British occupation of a land named Palestine,in 48 Israel was declared by the UN but the problem is that the people living in that land opposed it,all the neighbor states opposed it,but the other countries of the world that had nothing to do with the region adhered to it,now,any country would never accept that others decide for its land.

@Raptor95054 we wish all of that will happen when the messayah will come then all nations will live in peace

[karey26]

What Mr Ayalon says is correct, the territories are not occupied, they are disputed. But if Israel wants to recognize them as disputed and build settlements, they are in effect laying claim for all of Israel. But they don't want that because if they did they would be absorbing a population of Arabs that would leave Jews a minority in their own country. I support the Jews but I dont support their right to build settlements on disputed territory. It's antagnostic and impedes peace.

[SCORNDOGGMELACH]

How is posting this video evil , evilblackrose666? Let me guess? This is in your oppinion a form of rebellion against your previous religion. No? Yes? You dont have to answer. Just curious.

[coolestagent]

Mr. Ayalon,

With all due respect:

4) 1:56 "Changing the commonly accepted name Judea and Samaria"... Sir can you please explain to me; other than the Torah, who else thought Judea and Samaria was an "accepted name"? the UN? or maybe the USA? Can you please name one American president who EVER referred to it by that name? Is it okay to force our holy books for renaming a place with citizens that don't even follow that book and due to a status quo in 1967 AD?

[coolestagent]

Mr. Ayalon,

With all due respect:

3) 0:56 If you're talking about who began the war, israel did NOT perform an act of self defense in 1967 nor the Arabs launched a war against it, you can also search wikipedia for 1967 war to find out who actually started the war in a surprise attack on Egypt. But I'm pretty sure that as an Israeli minister... you already know that ;)

[coolestagent]

Mr. Ayalon,

With all due respect:

2) 0:47 In 1967 there was no state called Palestine but that's because the name was REMOVED OFF THE MAP in 1948 which was the official name of the area including Israel, West Bank "including East Jerusalem" and Gaza strip. This name was used to describe this area of land since 500 A.D untill 15/5/1948. "search Wikipedia for Palestine".

[coolestagent]

Mr. Ayalon,

With all due respect:

1) 0:10 The term "occupied territories" is not an invention of media or news but it's from UN resolution 242 principle (i) Withdrawal of Israel armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict.

[voteformariam]

@Raptor95054 You honestly think any Muslim believes that Jews are "the chosen people by God"? ONLY Jews believe that... You will never reach a solutions with the Muslims unless you stop oppressing and killing the people of Palestine. Furthermore, there is no archaeological evidence for the existence of (King David's) Solomon's Temple nor mention of it in contemporary extra-biblical literature.... Idiot.

[korenamit75]

@voteformariam

No archeological evidence?? Come to Israel, my friend, and see for yourself.

Don't know which books You're reading, or which "extra-biblical" books you refer to, but in THE book, the old testament,the one which is holly to both Christians and Jews,not only is the temple mentioned, but you can also get an extremely elaborated "blue-print" of the temple:Book of Kings 1,chp 6, vrs 14-38 ,for instance.

It says exactly where it stood in Book of Chronicles 2,chp 3, vrs 1

[Pledgeist]

@korenamit75 Israel is a state that was offered by the west and the British occupying forces to the Zionists , while the most of the 600000 Jews who were there at? the time were migrants , and although the Arabs did not accept the partition plan , theirs was a voice in the wildenes , the voice of the people who lived there for? centuries was ignored , israel was imposed on the palestenians and the neighbering countries ,,,, for me , this is a war decleration,this is the root cause of the problem

[jey169ii]

This cheery soundrack is sortov offensive and wrong 2 this topic.. show sum respect 2 the situation, ppl r suffering coz of it..

[SevenLeggedWalrus]

@LionTamer91 Thats what I was thinking.

[SuperQuatro123]

@Raptor95054

if israel will start fighting back america and the rest of the world will start talking shit like:"oh no!! those blood thirst

jews killd loads of arbics!..etc" and the reasone is that will effect ther realy big oil marketing white arbic counteris!

[JDKunderdog]

@gregweiser. How can you talk like that and even mention God's grace in the same post? People like you make the world hate Israel even more. And what do you care, you'd probably enjoy everyone hating and attacking Israel as long as they all got "nuked". This video is great because it puts real info out there, but you should shut your face.

[meypole]

Nice video. It made some good points.

[Coolins335]

although I am pro-Israel and support the Israeli state, the 1967 war was not defensive, it was started by Israel. Although I will concede that war was inevitable and would have occurred whether or not Israel launched the first strike.
