Groundwater & the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Crash Course Geography #25
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- The Arab-Israeli Conflict, which is the ongoing political tensions and military conflicts between Arab nations and Israel, is one of the longest and most complex disputes in the world. Today, we're going to focus on more recent events, and look specifically at the role groundwater plays in preventing a pathway to peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Groundwater makes up the largest portion of available fresh water on Earth, but as we'll see, access isn't always fair and its availability doesn't always line up neatly with political borders.

#CrashCourse #Geography #Groundwater
I'm a bit disappointed that the technologies of desalination were not mentioned, and how much the countries of the Middle East are turning to desalinating water from their seas and more water-saving technologies and practices than relying on the hydrologic cycle (rainwater, snowmelt, and groundwater) for human consumption.
Glad they talked about water footprint. I’m lucky to live where water is available I hope some peaceful solutions can work out.
This series is so great! I wish I'd known back in high school that geography could be so interesting
This comment section might be this show's first flamewar! Yay! 🎉🎉🎉 Truly, this is the moment when Geography joined the Crash Course family 😌
I see no arguments. You ok?
This is a historical moment!
Sometimes there are more comments predicting a flame war than actual flaming comments.
hehe
I'm always very proud of Crash Course for approaching difficult subjects with nuance and kindness. It's difficult to talk about issues that are contentious politically and it is impossible to be without bias, but I think that it *is* possible to talk about such things with kindness and consideration. While it is a tall order, I would encourage commenters to remember DFTBA.
One of the facets of the conflict unknown to many.
A great video, thanks for the info.
6:09 - I know this is a heavy topic but I found the mention of snow kinda funny - this area gets an average of about 1 snow day a year, and even that only happens in the most mountainous parts.
Thank you so much for the excellent video!
Thank you for your video. Please consider covering the hydropolitics behind GERD and the Nile. Also, the acquifiers shared by Egypt and Libya are undercovered.
Wow
I was surprised to see another episode of crash course world history about my home country 😅.
Turns out this came from the geographic angle, which I like quite a lot!
Where are you from ?
אתה ישראלי?
so u israel or palestine
גם אתה צופה מישראל?
An interesting education, many thanks Allie with best wishes for you & the Channel.
So interesting
Ironically Israel's other water-related politics is surprisingly stable. I've read that there has not yet been a war fought over water rights, though this may change in the near future.
Thank you
Thank you for bringing this to light
I liked how you fixed the borders of Morocco on the map! Much appreciated!
Western Sahara will be free one day
Reminds me of the Mos Def song "New World Water"
instead of calculating average water consumption, mean water consumption should instead be used.
Though I'm unsure if the data of mean water consumption exists or is readily available for the topic.
"Worldwide there are 366 aquifers that cross borders..."
Australia chilling: 😎
Neat
Superbly done. Very even handed and fair take on a very sensitive subject. That is not easy to do and deserves recognition!
No one over here is focusing on water in politics, and we don’t hear about this from the other side. How each side actually uses and conserves water (or doesn’t) is totally ignored. There is a more than a little reading into this conflict issues which are very much not what anyone on the ground is talking about.
It is clear that Palestinian suffers more than Israeli no matter who's right or wrong
Thank for the video.
theyve made a great cemetary of their so called holy land
Well done. Thank you for putting a human light on an oppressed people. Let’s also give a shout out to standing rock.
Oof Haven't watched this yet but hoping it accurately covers the water crisis between Israel and Palestine and how Israel deprives Palestinian villages of water
Update: watched it and I was pleasantly surprised.
Thank you for covering it pretty decently!
I unsubscribed when they called this a 'conflict'
I wish it was just a conflict about water
This is going to be a spicy comment section.
4:28 XD “aquitards”
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
I'm sure these comments will be nice and reasonable /s
#FreePalestine
It’s not a “conflict” it’s an occupation
The greatest video on the channel
Free palestine
iq is increasing
We should have never gotten involved.
FREE PALESTINE
Hi
Here comes a toxic comment section in 3, 2, 1…
Those north African countries are classified as the middle east sometimes
🇵🇸🇯🇴
first lol
It's not very inaccurate.
Israel gets most of its water from filtration of the sea water.
Those aupaifers are very hard to extract water from.
And the water is pretty expensive to because of it.
Israel 🇮🇱
I support Isreal in their stance to defend themselves
Time for a flame war!
Conflict? Not watching.
occupation
Clearly some slanted opinions on "occupation", as we normally call those lands as Israel. I guess I am living in Occupied Hawaii, come to think of it?
Yeah you are acrually.
Well...do u and ur family get pomped ..pushed out of ur house or forced to destroy it by yourself or get prisoned ...if thousands of ur people and especially children killed every year...and u can't even raise ur county flag or u get arrested...if armoured people can get into ur home take whatever they want whenever they want ...then yes u can say u live in occupied place .....i just get sad of how ignorant some people can be ... please..just search.. it's not hard
Yes. Yes you are. The islands of Hawaii were famously stolen by US colonisers.
It is occupied, they stole the land and the UN never approved the annexation. Although it's not like you guys care anyways, as an israeli settler once said "We don't give a fuck about the law"
One is internationally recognized as occupied, and it’s people live stateless. The other is a fully integrated part of the USA where all inhabitants are either PRs or Citizens. Not even close comparison, but nice try
Hi
