Resolution 181: The Zionist Dream Comes True | History of Israel Explained | Unpacked
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- Did you know that on November 29, 1947 the UN voted to create an Arab state (Palestine) alongside a Jewish one (Israel) in what was Mandate Palestine? Resolution 181 would have split the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean into two separate states.
So, what happened to UN Resolution 181 and just where is this promised Arab state? In this week’s History of Israel Explained, we tell all.
To understand what is probably the most complicated aspect of the Arab-Israeli conflict, we’re jumping back to the early days of the last century when the British issued the Balfour Declaration, which expressed their support for Jewish national homeland in Palestine.
The British tried to make that support into reality years later with a land split that would have seen a “large” Arab state and a teeny-tiny Jewish one. (Spoiler: the Jews accepted it). For a whole lot of reasons, the split never happened and the result is the impasse we currently all know.
Today, the idea of splitting the land of Israel between Arabs and Jews seems incredible. But it really could have happened.
What do you think? Had the Arabs accepted the partition plan that would have solved the conflict with a two state solution would we have seen a very different political landscape or would each side still have felt the other had something that belonged to them?

What do you think? Had the Arabs accepted the partition plan that would have solved the conflict with a two state solution would we have seen a very different political landscape or would each side still have felt the other had something that belonged to them?
If foreigners from Europe hadn't imposed themselves on the area there would have been no conflict in the first place.
The present Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that the greatest single mistake of the Palestinian Arab delegates was to refuse the offer of an independent State which was offered to them in 1947 by the UN, this newly formed State would have been in areas of old Palestine that are now referred to as the disputed territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip
In the Camp David agreements (in the 1970s)held in the USA, Israel offered the Palestinians a State in these disputed territories. Again in the Oslo accords (in around 1993) the Palestinians were offered an independent state in the disputed territories. Many times over the Israeli Government has offered the Palestinian representatives an Independent State
@@chrislambert9435 the Palestinians were not offered an independent State. You do not know what you are talking about.
The Arabs were okay with Britain taking 75% of Palestine to make Jordan but they didn't like them splitting the other 25% to make a home for the Jews and a home for the Arabs that Jordan refused to take in.
Thats not entirely true, because there were many arabic riots against the british mandate after ww1
Because English will leave eventually
Yours is an excellent comment, the Arabs were given Trans-Jordan (todays Jordan), this was from the "old Palestine" The present Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that the greatest single mistake of the Palestinian Arab delegates was to refuse the offer of an independent State which was offered to them in 1947 by the UN, this newly formed State would have been in areas of old Palestine that are now referred to as the disputed territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip

…and Al Hussaini backed the Fuhrer. Lest we forget.
The arabs so called Palestinians got Jorda.
The Balfour Declaration was written 2 years after the Brits had already promised Palestine to the Arabs in 1915.

The quality of your channel is great, I've learned a lot about history that I didn't know and the questions made are truly critical, specifically from a Jewish perspective to quote both sides of conflicts; as a Brasilian I few justified by the fact that we as a country had and still, in detriment of our Nazi wannabe president; our doors and heart open to Jew and Arab alike on proudly say that, while antisemitism is old as the world itself; here both groups can live and coexist in peace, may this state comes to this holy land someday is my honest desire, for under the sky w one family.
Wait, but doesen't bolsonaro suport Israel? how can he be a "nazi wannabe"
I’m pro Israel and the Jewish people as well that’s why the Philippines saved almost 2,000 Jewish people during ww2 🇵🇭🇺🇸🇮🇱
The Philippines is pro palestinian. I think you’re referring to the Siamese or other lesser known countries.
Iam from India and I love the ideology of Jews alot !!!!
But they dont love you
@@ak7939 You're dead wrong and your psychological projection of irrational Jew hatred is transparently see through for any human being capable of critical thinking. Unlike yourself, the overwhelming majority of Jews are not hate filled misanthropes. By all means, enjoy spewing your ridiculous, bigoted, unsubstantiated, hate filled rhetoric all you want; as it only serves to betray you for the ignorant, illogical, hate filled, lunatic that you are. You irrationally believe that Jews are hateful, because you are filled with irrational hatered for Jews, period, end of discussion.

"We stand for partition because we believe that it is the best final solution for the problem of Palestine... rejection of partition... will lead to further complications and will give the Zionists another space of time to complete their plans of defense and attack... a delay of one more year which would not benefit the Arabs but would benefit the Jews" - dated 30 November 1947 from Egyptian newspaper Al Mokattam. Astonishingly accurate prediction from an Arab newspaper at the time.

Which state was the last to cast the vote for Israel's nationhood?
Haiti or Soviet Union?
It appears to me that the Arabs know how to get angry, but don't know how to rationalise a fight and win even before the fight gets started by them.
The U.N had no legal authority to partition the land that legally belonged to the British Mandate. However, to try an accommodate both sides a plan was voted and agreed on to partition the land in inside the Mandate. Israel accepted and the Arabs didn't.
So because the Arabs did not accept the plan the hence it failed the borders of the previous owner became one State. Because Israel declared independence inside the Mandate, they automatically assumed all borders of the Mandate by International law. This means that BY International Law, Israel has Sovereignty over all the Mandate including Gaza and all the West Bank.
Had the Arabs also declared Independance at the same time, they likely would have had a state since 1948 and the land provided as part of resolution 181.
The Arabs will now have to negotiate with Israel if they want a state as they are the legal Sovereign.
When heard Briitian conquered and created all of this.. I cut it off. but interesting.
Great , thx
Great video. The only problem I have with it is the need to show that the Arabs not only rejected land in the early 20th century, but also throughout the entire 20th century culminating in 2000 when Ehud Barak offered Egyptian-born leader, Arafat half of Jerusalem and much of Israel which would have made it impossible for Israel to secure. What did Arafat do? He basically spit on the deal, walked off and started the Second Intifada. They don't want part of Israel. They want ALL of Israel. Let's not forget that Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the Jewish Tenach and not once in the Quran.
Thanks @dviryaakov9072 We made a whole video about that you might appreciate: ruclips.net/video/1kYWII25cxM/видео.html
but abraham is mentioned 69 times in quran. also - Al-Quds, which is in Jerusalem. Not the present Al-Quds but the temple mount at that time is mentioned in quran. and hence Jerusalem is mentioned in the Quran. temple of solomon (again solomon is also our prophet and not much people are aware of it)
@@thekoreanbless7957 Muslims, I have a feeling who are like you, admit Israel belongs to the Jewish people. That's interesting what you say about Al Quds, but again, it must also say it belongs to the Jewish people. Regardless, Jewish people were facing Jerusalem for over 1500 years before Islam was a religion. It was, is and will always be our capital. The Muslims who say Jerusalem belongs to them would not be unlike Jews going to Mecca and saying, "Yes, we want it. It's ours." We would literally be building on top of what Muslims have already built in what is already theirs. Al Aksa is built on the ruins of two Jewish Temples. Shalom.
tell me was gave Europeans the right to the land in the first place? I see, give a problematic population a safe space because nobody wanted them back home.
Is it logical that someone who left the country 2000 years ago comes back and claims your home ? And they claim it based on faith and and not actual ethnicity.
Minute 5:26 fails to take into account that the Arabs were given Trans-Jordan (today Jordan) this is a very large chunk of Old Palestine given to the Arabs long before the Partition deal of 1947
Kaftet v'November
❤😇
BeNovember in Hebrew.
So they say "if the holocaust didn't happen there wouldn't have been a jewish state now" I leave you with the chance to draw your own consequences from this sentence...
Who is they? The idea of the Jewish state was approved in 1922 by the unanimous vote of the League of Nations for the Mandate of Palestine Charter which stated;
*_"Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country"_*
@@shainazion4073 The redshield lackey's legally bound themselves to their promise because the Balfour document wasn't even legally acceptable in it's form. That doesn't make no difference. Israel wasn't legally established until 48. Jews needed the "persecuted refugee" status to shift public opinion and voter's attitudes towards their goals. Sometimes people need myths to justify their existence and actions don't they? Now put the puzzle together won't you?
The Torah, which ALL Muslims and Christians accept states clearly that G-d made an Eternal Covenant with the Jewish people giving them the Land of Israel. There has been a constant Jewish presence in Israel for over 3000 years. That the Holocaust helped it reform when it did is only just that. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Quran. This is not and has never been their land.
@@dviryaakov9072 What god? How many gods are there? Who's god are you talking about? Do you still believe in fairies too? Not much evidence to back what you say up. What we have is tens of thousands of stone tablets from the area. From antiquity there is barely a mention of israel and their country or place. Sumer, greek, babylonian, accadian, hettite, ugaritic, egyptian, moabite, phoenician etc. a well documented area from the time of writing begun going back to 6 thousand years. All these empires have been fighting for that land among many other lands yet there seems to be not many mentions of anything related to israel. For the last 1800 years very few israelites lived there. Arabs have been inhabiting the area before and after jjews expelled themselves from there. Israelites by their own admission came from elsewhere, they are aren't indigenious to that land. Historians say even if there was an israel it couldn't have lasted for long and it certainly wasn't a mighty kingdom as religious folks like you want to believe. The united and the separate kingdoms combined didn't even exist for longer than 250 years according to historians including israeli historians.
It didn't get much traction until the holocaust.

Still, you didn't explain why there is no Arab state.
There’s many Arab states in the Middle East…I don’t think that’s what you meant.
There are 22 Arab countries and one Jewish one that makes up less than .5% of the Arab Middle East. Please do some digging and you will find that every time the Arabs in Israel were offered a state they walked away and more often than not, they attacked Israel instead even when they were offered the majority by the Peel Commission.
Please note that the emblems for the supposedly moderate Fatah Party and that of Hamas both depict the ENTIRE State of Israel. They also both chant, "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free="" that's all of Israel.
So the Palestinians had a chance for a two-state solution and flatly refused it? And then followed that up by declaring war on Israel? Sounds like they fucked up.
That is true, many of today's Palestinians claiming that Israel stole "their land" miss the fact that they had a chance in 1947 to create a Palestinian state alongside with Israel. But the conflict was already started in the 1920's were Jewish settlers begin to prosper and create a more developed living then the Arabs surrounding them. This was not accepted by the anti semitic muslims. Israel was not accepted as a state by Palestinians until 1990's when peace negotiations with PLO was still going pretty well.
Actually, the British illegally gave the Arab Hashemites 77% of the Mandate of Palestine lands to become trans-Jordan leaving only 23% to become the future Jewish state. Then in 1937, at the Peel Commission, the British offered the Arabs another Arab state with 80% of the land left. They turned this down because they didn't want the Jews to even have the 17% offered to them (this was only 4% of the original Mandate of Palestine lands).
More than once!
@@fredrik999z There was a Jewish colony there as early as 1870. Arabs reacted to the loss of their land. The Arabs were not "AntiSemitic" as they had lived happily with Jews of the region since the 13th century.
I think he’s gag.
When the superpowers re-drew the world map, they should've just carved a jewish state in europe. Given that many of these settlers were from europe. A european problem that should've been solved within its borders, not transported elsewhere. Like carving such state out of occupied germany etc, when the nazi's fell (ultimate irony/justice)
As ben shapiro said, you cant reclaim land just because your ancestors once inhabited them
They're we're few Palestinian Jews who agreed to the partition of 1937 , 25% of the land . How the Arabs turned that down was ridiculous
@@danieljakes5949
Many of these settlers were european jews. It would've made more sense if they were granted their own european, not middle eastern state. Now we have this ridiculous unending war
@@fredtacang3624 doesn't make sense, if the 100,000 Palestinian Jews we're given a state of their own in which they could be granted liberty to invite whoever they wanted would the Arabs have agreed?
Palestine was a huge piece of land . Jordan is a Palestinian state. The next step was to create two more states in Palestine, one for Jews the other for Arabs . The Arabs never rejected the creation of Jordan which is objectively a Palestinian state. Arabs too we're immigrants to that land . The problem is that the Muslims have no shred of accountability, they never wanted Jewish sovereignty on what they presume to be islamic land.
@@danieljakes5949
These jews were europeans, they should've stayed in europe. What's wrong in creating a jewish state in europe? Where majority of the jews were already based in
Whats the logic of putting them on muslim land in the mideast? Now we have an endless war
Free palestine
@@levantine8 because palestine 🇵🇸 is there homeland why should they leave it to European jews.
@@levantine8 They're not the same, "Arab" is not an ethnic identity but a linguistic one, today's "Arabs" are just arabized Amazighs, Assyrians, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Arameans, etc... they have nothing in common, different culture, traditions, history, lifestyle, origins, etc... the only thing in commun is the language, yet every region has its own dialect different from one another (sometimes more mutually unintelligible than French and Portuguese).
That being said, even if they were exactly the same would that give the Jews the right to steal Palestinian lands? if you own 5 houses would you let one of them being stolen since you would still have 4 left? or under pretext that your stolen house was once the thief's property according to his religious beliefs? if you were a sane person you would not accept this absurdity.
@@madghis2863 the Jews bought the land from Arab landowners there are numerous evidences featuring documents of Land purchase by Jews, yet the Palestinian Arabs depicted the land purchase as "Colonization" and continues to use the word "stolen" to refer to the Jewish Land Purchase in Palestine. And after the UN Resolution 181 when the Arabs REJECTED the Partition while the Jews accepted it. It is absolutely disgusting how Pro-Palestinians are trying to revise the History of Israel just to delegitimize the State on the behalf of a Partially recognized Nation which never even controlled the West Bank until the 1990s
Arab and jews are sons of Abraham, and they're all Semitic, but the question is, if an turk say that half Asia half Europe half Africa, all the Middle East was theirs what the world gonna say? And so on for every single ethnicity or ancient community..
How completely ignorant! Israel was established at the San Remo Conference in April 1920. The title transferred to the Jewish people world wide as can be read in the preamble of the British Mandate for Palestine. Partition was not a legal resolution but a meaningless opinion. The Jewish and Arab people made their pleading for a Jewish and Arab state on Feb 6 (Arabs) and Feb 27 1919. Arabs argued that they were a homogenous people both linguistically, culturally, and economically. The Jews pleaded for a reconstitution of the Jewish commonwealth in the land of Israel. The Paris Peace Conference agreed with both and at San Remo established two Arab states (Syria and Iraq) and one Jewish state (What is today Israel and Jordan.) All subsequent partition schemes were illegal as the British were not sovereigns but trustees of the Mandate to transfer to the Jews (beneficiaries) control of the land. The Iraqi Mandate transferred control in 1932, the Syrian Mandate in 1946, and the "British" Mandate to Israel in 1948.
God tells Exactly in the Christian Bible what is Israel's Borders and Only God can change that.
Robert Levis so what should happen to the people already living there?
The synagogue of Satan occupied Israel
The Believers in Jesus Christ are the true Israelites
It has nothing to do with race or ethnicity
God? Lol
Check out your info. As a start Palestine always and only belonged to the Palestinian people. There were no Jewish before as you claimed! The Jewish people were distributed in European countries, specifically Germany. That explains why they came to Palestine because Hilter kicked them out. The irony is, they came to Palestine as a guest but all of a sudden they stole it and claimed they had the right to be there AND to torture the Palestinians. If that is not plain enough to recognize who's the evil here then I don't know what to say.
Except there was NEVER a Sovereign Palestine in all of history, and there was NEVER a Palestinian people until they were invented by the KGB and PLO in 1964. How can a non-existent country, have a non-existent people???
Check the Facts! There has Never been a time in the last 3500 years that there was no Jews in Israel/Canaan. The Jews are from Judea, thats why they are called Jews. The Jews were not predominantly in Germany, you talk nonsense!! The majority of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi Jews (over 60%) the Jews forced out of Arab Muslim countries because Israel became a state.
The Reconstitution of the Jewish State was approved by Unanimous vote of the League of Nations, at the San Remo conference in 1922 before WW2. The Mandate of Palestine Charter had one mission only;
*_"Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country"_*
@@shainazion4073 You guys always say the same BS. The European Zionist Jews who moved in on Palestine had nothing to do with the Jews who were already living there happily with the Arabs. And the Arabs had been there since the 13th century, obviously indigenous to the region. Tell me why Europeans should be there in the first place. None of your Bible stories have any validity here.
Free Palestine.
End the Occupation
@@levantine8 More like Jews 2,000 years of history and Palestinians 1400 years
Something you are failing to mention and which is a very big role. Most orthodox Jews cannot return back home until the messiah comes. It is forbidden for them to establish a state. Before the messiah comes, messiah will establish the Jewish state for them in their belief. The second coming or the first coming if you're jewel. You are forbidden to come back to your homeland cause god had tossed you out so to return back to the homeland you are defying god.
You can learn more about that here: ruclips.net/video/T5NrPOUp2qk/видео.htmlsi=lckOuSg4Rl-AHVLI
The reality is it’s only a fringe segment of Orthodox Jews who think that - and it only plays a big role for anti-Zionists or antisemites who try and magnify that view
