The info from this video reinforced my opinion that a minority from Israels militant government/Zionists have played both sides of the current Gaza conflict in pushing Hamas into power to the point of fracturing the Palestinian Authority so as to not be able to properly manage the state affairs without being undermined both locally by Hamas political influence and on the global stage via Hamas actions (that seem to be sometimes inspired by members within Israelis minority as to weaponize Israeli fear into a mandate to any and all military actions taken after). This allows Israel to control the battle in terms of creating opportunities to invade by inciting terrorism actions (some of their logic is that a controlled action is more manageable then one that is left to their enemies), and as horrible as bringing violence on their own people the Israeli minority knows this would drive away international support for Palestine and even force the Palestinian Authority to co-operate with Hamas (even if the PA is aware of this outside influence and how it's destroying Palestine as a whole). Even the Palestinian people are effectively forced into a Stockholm like relationship with a group that they know is actively working against their better interests and denying them the peace they year for in order to re-build and one day form a broader community of peace. On paper fixing the issue would be a simple matter of arresting key members of both Hamas and key leaders in Israel who have actively orchestrated the violence on both sides, and in doing so would give the PA a chance to gain legitimacy both locally and abroad in it's ability to govern towards a two state solution and even give western support a scape goat for where lies the blame for all the war crimes thus far. But the water is too murky for that and outside influence also has various other agendas, such as Russia wanting to expand middle east hostilities to draw away support from Ukraine (even china would benefit in it's ambition of Taiwan should hostilities expand), while global Christians have a number of fanatics who wish to bring utter chaos to the middle east for various reasons. Yet all of this aside, the on paper plan would involve top figures in Israeli including a sitting prime minister relinquish power when the currently hold the majority of the power in a state that has the majority of western support and a plan to expand that power and influence across all of the middle east. Expecting this much power t be let go in the name of peace would never fly when the very prime minister involved likely has blood on his hands. The reality is it will take the Israeli people to push their government into ousting it's current leadership and in doing so present enough evidence of collusion with Hamas as to allow the Palestinian Authority a legitimate reason to also oust Hamas from it's grip on power in Gaza. It's from this point that real peace talks could occur and for a two state solution to be worked out before bad actors could once again influence and derail the dream of a lasting peace accord in a land torn by violence and hatred. Sorry for the long wall of text.
I just watched a great documentary about this war and Lebanese internal dynamics in Hebrew which was really high quality, although a tad longer than this one. Honestly it sucks being the world's punching bag.
@@vaguelyright6833 Yes Islam is the reason Israel decided to ethnically cleanse Palestinians.... Numbers 31:17-18 (KJV 1900): 17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every women that hath known man by lying with him. 18 But all the women children, that have not known a many by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.🤡
@@walidelkhatib2207 Thinking that Israelis are foreigners like the Crusaders (who weren't even a significant minority within their own realm) who can pack their bags and leave somewhere else is the reason why you have been failing so miserably for the last 80 years. In other words, it's like if instead of fighting for the French to leave Algeria, the Algerians would fight in order to make the French vacate Paris. The latter would fight to death and win time and again, since they have no choice and are stronger. In the meantime the Palestinians pay the main price for this intransigence, specially when foolish westerners who have no stake in the game keep pampering them.
During the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, Ronald Reagan wrote in his diary: "I was angry. I told him [Prime Minister Menachem Begin] it had to stop or our entire future relationship was endangered. I used the word holocaust deliberately and said the symbol of his war was becoming a picture of a 7-month-old baby with its arms blown off. Twenty minutes later, he called to tell me he’d ordered an end to the barrage and pled for our continued friendship.”
As Biden’s colleagues “grilled” Begin over Israel’s disproportionate use of force, including by targeting civilians with cluster bomb munitions, Begin said Biden “rose and delivered a very impassioned speech” defending the invasion. Begin said he was shocked at how passionately Biden supported Israel’s invasion when Biden “said he would go even further than Israel, adding that he’d forcefully fend off anyone who sought to invade his country, even if that meant killing women or children.” Begin said, “I disassociated myself from these remarks,” adding: “I said to him: No, sir; attention must be paid. According to our values, it is forbidden to hurt women and children, even in war. Sometimes there are casualties among the civilian population as well. But it is forbidden to aspire to this. This is a yardstick of human civilization, not to hurt civilians.” The comments were striking from Begin, who had been notorious as a leader of the Irgun, a militant group that carried out some of the worst acts of ethnic cleansing accompanying the creation of the state of Israel, including the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre.
Hearing about the human toll of the 1982 Lebanon War is heartbreaking. The siege of Beirut and the civilian casualties really show the tragedy of prolonged conflict. Thanks for shedding light on this!
It's not mentioned that the evacuation of the PLO from Beirut to Tunisia was undertaken by the Greek Navy. Also, Arafat requested a Greek island as a base instead of Tunisia, but Andreas Papandreou, a political friend of Fatah and Arafat, refused.
As a Pro Palestinian Muslim man I commend salute and 👏 for not giving Arafat Greek island Arafat was troublesome in Jordan and Lebanon and wouldn’t have respected Greek sovereignty and involved the Greeks in a lot of problems
"You want a nation to just grant sovereignty to you, so you can use the area as a base from which to launch attacks...?" Is an historical anomaly, to put it mildly. Seems only one national entity holds this, shall we say, "unorthodox" interpretation of what a nation is. And their implementation of said outlying viewpoint has created most of rhe wars of the last generation. Puzzling.
@@vaguelyright6833oh shut the fuck up as if the Christians didnt just spend the last 2000 years murdering each other and enslaving or exploiting half the planet. Islam has always fought for its right to be alive while Christians have fought for their right to rape and plunder.
I was a young lieutenant in the Marine Corps as part of the UN Peace Keeping forces in 1982 and 1983. I remember how warm and friendly the Lebanese people were that I often came across. But there were so many PLO, Israeli, Syrian, and others in the country at that time, it seemed they outnumbered the native Lebanese. I wish we could have brought peace to that wonderful country, but obviously that didn't happen, and it still makes me sad. So many people died, including my best friend, who was a supply officer in the Battalion headquarters building that was truck bombed, causing 220 Marine deaths and 21 other service member deaths, and I didn't understand what we accomplished there. I have also spent a lot of time in Israel, Gaza, and Jordan. I came to understand that everyone is a victim, and there is no right or wrong side in these conflicts. There are so many good people in all of these countries, if you take the time to learn and respect their history and culture you will see that. It is just a sad commentary on humanity that this conflict rages year after year. I appreciated this video, as it imparts some of the background to this conflict. I was dreading seeing pictures of the bombing of Marines in Beirut, as I still have strong PTSD from that event, so was actually glad it was not specifically mentioned.
WHAT WE ARE WITNESSING IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE PROPHECY OF PSALMS 83, IT'S BEEN ON GOING FOR OVER 70 YEARS NOW, BUT NOW IT IS COMING TO IT'S CLIMACTIC END, IT WILL TAKE A FEW MORE MONTHS BEFORE IT'S FINISH! DURING THIS TIME MANY OTHER PROPHECIES ARE HAPPENING AND WILL BE FULFILLED CONCURRENTLY, ENDING WITH THE DEFEAT OF ALL THE "PEOPLE GROUPS" NOW OCCUPYING THE AREAS LISTED IN PSALMS 83, ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE ANCIENT ENEMIES OF ISRAEL!

Such a complex situation, good job simplifying it to where it can be understood by outsiders. You should keep doing series on it, and look into the Lebanese front/ forces side as well. There is so much information on PLO and Israel but almost no information on the actual Lebanese faction
"The Middle East conflict has been a tragedy for all involved in it. Neighbours, instead of devoting themselves to the task of advancing the lot of the common man in a backward area, are pitted against each other in armed confrontation. For over thirty years this senseless waste of lives and wealth has been the fate of this area." - Chaim Herzog, The Arab-Israeli Wars, 1982. Nothing has changed since then...
@@darkgalaxy5548 As long as an apartheid situation remains, there will always be a festering sore producing conflict. Common sense should tell us that. By the way, not saying the Jews should leave and go to Europe, just that some sincere effort must be made to resolve this issue, not gaslighting and posturing. Leaders on both sides are to blame.
The wars in this part of the Middle East really are dominated by significant numbers of sieges. This likely would explain, in my opinion, the greater number of direct civilian deaths when compared to other contemporary wars that had more rural combat zones (in general) such as the Sinai, Golan heights, the desert in desert storm, etc. The civilians really are the greatest tragedy in this ongoing conflict
@@oe1164 heh. Thousands of Palestinian women and children + CIVILIANS in Lebanon and Syria are being mass bombed by Israel and its the muslims who are warring one-sidedly against israel🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Knew relatively little about this war before this video, just the basic facts. Would love for you to do more videos like this one, since most coverage of the Israeli wars ends with Yom Kippur
@@Butter9322 okay there is a bunch of sites that confirms it, too many to count. Are you in China or something? maybe you cant see cause it contains the word "$uicide" or something.
It's the same with Hezbollah. There are many videos of Lebanese people cheering from the destruction of Hezbollah ammo dumps and positions. Western people don't realise how complicated the situation is. Blindly calling for Israel to stop while insurgents don't surrender and give power back to the Lebanese people
Which year did you meet these people? Not trying to fact check you or anything. Just curious about the opinion of Lebanese people on the PLO and similar organisations in different decades.
@@SlayerRiley early 2014-2017. I went to college with Lebanese exchange students who were either Christian or Muslims. Their parents grew up during the Israeli-Lebanon war. According to the students, their parents hated the PLO then and still hate the PLO now. Both groups cite that the PLO killed or maim friends and family.
My family always told me stories of this time. One that stuck out is that the Israelis would drop Bobby trapped kids toys that would explode. This lead to mothers warning their kids to never pick up toys on the street. Since many died thinking they found a toy.
I’m suprised a VERY popular channel covered this, I’m horribly intrested in the Lebanese Civil War, as it is intresting and VERY confusing. ❤ from Canada
The problems are not from the moving, but from not being able to find a destination. In the same period that 700,000 Arab refugees left Palestine, 10-15 million Germans were deported to Germany from across Europe, a million Poles and a 100,000 Ukrainians were deported from what became western Soviet territory to what was once eastern German territory, many millions of Muslims and Hindus were shuffled between India and Pakistan, and 800,000 Jews were moving in the opposite direction - from Muslim countries into Israel. All of these groups managed (or were allowed) to figure it out and continue their lives without perpetual conflict except the Palestinian Arabs.
Hopefully, the suffering ongoing there today will end soon. Thank you for another informative episode on modern history. God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)
I've enjoyed several videos on this channel, but couldn't hear what was being said on this one as it was drowned out by loud background music (more like foreground music). I might rewatch later with subtitles on, but I'm genuinely puzzled why creators use loud music - in a documentary, I want to hear what the narrator says. I can listen to music any time.

Do you have schizophrenia? What does your comment have to do with anything?? This is a video about a political conflict, in can you nutbags didn't realise.
03:07 - thank you for stating this ACTUAL APARTHEID that wasn't just for 1948 and the following few years, ALL of these measures continue to this day, generations of Palestinians born in Lebanon with no rights and no opportunities, whereas Palestinians who were in Israel when the hostilities ended in 1949, were granted equal rights, full citizenship and a future - so zero apartheid.
Just to clarify when he says "settlements on the Lebanon border," he just means Israeli towns generically. They weren't the "settlements" you'd find in the West Bank or formerly Gaza.
@@carlospargamendez7012 Tinest violin in the world. When you attack people and start wars, you live with the consequences. Ask ethnic Germans from Eastern Europe, among many other examples.

Thank You for this video, i actually wanted to request a video on the Lebanese Civil War, so i'm happy to learn more about it in this video. You mentioned the PLO was in Jordan before going to Lebanon, what happend in Jordan ? Can you make a video about it ? (I was lucky to visit Lebanon in 2020, definetly 1 of the most beautiful places i have ever seen. 🙏) I am curious though and maybe someone can explain, if Israel was on the Lebanese Christian side, why do i hear they dont like Israel ? What happend ?
Excuse me, why does the UK flag and the Rhodesian African Rifles coat of arms appear when the Sayaret Matkal is mentioned? You can see this in the 10:54 mark.
Lol, definitely a mistake, the symbol of syeret matkal is the flure de lee. I think the picture of the soldier might be a famous picture of a young Bibi netanyahu

It is worthwhile to note that the Sabra-Shatila massacre was far from the only massacre in the Lebanese civil war.. In fact the Palestinians committed several massacres against the Christians, the most famous of which was in Damour. But Jews were not involved so no one cares or remembers.
It's the same for the pre-1948 Israel independence war, everyone heard of "Deir Yassin" but literally no one heard about the "1929 Hebron massacre" or the Palestine riots which most famously led to the Safed Massacre and there were many others. heck, almost every year between 1936 and 1948 had a bunch of pogroms. As always Muslims = din du nuffin Jews & Christans = literally Satan
Thank you for covering this! I've noticed your channel started covering more politically relevant stuff after I started seeing you more and more in Ian's (V's) chat. Glad to know good political takes are making their way into history videos by a popular channel. A good counter to completely bs channels like Whatifalthist, lmao. Keep up the great work, friend!
Thanks for the vid. A date counter that always hows the date of the events being narrated as the video progresses would be very useful for keeping track of the timeline, as it's very easy to miss or forget dates that are mentioned in the script. I gained a lot of ethical clarity about this long conflict by sticking to some principles that most people should find uncontroversial: A nation that is trying to steal territory from it neighbours through force of arms is the aggressor in that conflict, and thus bears primary responsibility for any violent acts of resistance that are incited by that aggression. Unfortunately this means Israel and its western backers come out looking like the villains in this story. I think our support of Israel is harming our reputation and the reputation of all democracies by extension. It makes all talk of wanting peace, security and human rights for all people look like self-serving hypocrisy. We should end all support for this Israeli government and its policies as quickly as possible.
15:08 you make it sound so much than it is, he was talking about how the PLO fighters should die fighting and not subjugated.”suicide” as in die to fight for Palestine. Then how you interpret that is up to you
The typing sound effect at 15:42 to 16:54 absolutely killed me, please don't use it again or at least either change the rhythm so it actually looks like someone is typing or reduce the sound level 😢
Israel is a prime example of a nation not able to turn military success into a permanent diplomatic victory. Whether it is extremists in their domestic affairs or terrible diplomats/politicians, they have squadered chance after chance to let a proper peace develop. Eventually the military victories will end and the victims will remember what was done to them.
It’s because they don’t have the demographics to just annex the land without massive deportations, which the international community won’t let them do, and the Islamists (both salafi and Shia groups) don’t want peace with Israel, they want it not to exist.
The question who you fight and able to achive your diplomatic victory. Israel was able gain permanent diplomatic victory after the Six days war and Yom Kippur war, these were states with the ablity to enforce power and sovernity over the population, as they have what to lose. But agasint the PLO and Hamas? Yes, they have nothing to lose and their leader or don't want or not willing to back down.
for diplomacy you need 2 sides, for war only 1. the western world fails to understand that the middle east is not europe and diplomacy, in many occasions is not even an option by the loosing side.
Ummmm. Egypt? Jordan? The Abrahamic accords? Your point would be slightly valid if there was no precedents for military successes translating directly into long term peace, but there are
the 1982 war also included muslim militias allied with the plo against the christian dominated isaeli backed government. And in the current conflict, LDF and IDF forces have actually clashed, with the IDF trying to take lebanonese military bases and postitions in Bint Jbeil, killing atleast 4 soilders so far

i think it also was a battle place in the second Lebanese war of 2006
It's not mentioned that the evacuation of the PLO from Beirut to Tunisia was undertaken by the Greek Navy. Also, Arafat requested a Greek island as a base instead of Tunisia, but Andreas Papandreou, a political friend of Fatah and Arafat, refused.
As a Pro Palestinian Muslim man
I commend salute and 👏 for not giving Arafat Greek island
Arafat was troublesome in Jordan and Lebanon and wouldn’t have respected Greek sovereignty and involved the Greeks in a lot of problems
"You want a nation to just grant sovereignty to you, so you can use the area as a base from which to launch attacks...?" Is an historical anomaly, to put it mildly. Seems only one national entity holds this, shall we say, "unorthodox" interpretation of what a nation is. And their implementation of said outlying viewpoint has created most of rhe wars of the last generation. Puzzling.
Come back in 500 years! This channel will still be reporting on this ongoing conflict.

You should do one about the Lebanese civil war.
I was a young lieutenant in the Marine Corps as part of the UN Peace Keeping forces in 1982 and 1983. I remember how warm and friendly the Lebanese people were that I often came across. But there were so many PLO, Israeli, Syrian, and others in the country at that time, it seemed they outnumbered the native Lebanese. I wish we could have brought peace to that wonderful country, but obviously that didn't happen, and it still makes me sad. So many people died, including my best friend, who was a supply officer in the Battalion headquarters building that was truck bombed, causing 220 Marine deaths and 21 other service member deaths, and I didn't understand what we accomplished there. I have also spent a lot of time in Israel, Gaza, and Jordan. I came to understand that everyone is a victim, and there is no right or wrong side in these conflicts. There are so many good people in all of these countries, if you take the time to learn and respect their history and culture you will see that. It is just a sad commentary on humanity that this conflict rages year after year. I appreciated this video, as it imparts some of the background to this conflict. I was dreading seeing pictures of the bombing of Marines in Beirut, as I still have strong PTSD from that event, so was actually glad it was not specifically mentioned.
Thanks for sharing friend, and well said. Nobody wins wars. People die, others suffer and move on. I'll pray for your health.

The wars in this part of the Middle East really are dominated by significant numbers of sieges. This likely would explain, in my opinion, the greater number of direct civilian deaths when compared to other contemporary wars that had more rural combat zones (in general) such as the Sinai, Golan heights, the desert in desert storm, etc. The civilians really are the greatest tragedy in this ongoing conflict

I've met both Christian and Muslim Lebanese.
Despite their differences they did not hate each other nearly as much as they hated the PLO insurgents.
christians need to be silent and accept them otherwise their head would be gone!
It's the same with Hezbollah. There are many videos of Lebanese people cheering from the destruction of Hezbollah ammo dumps and positions.
Western people don't realise how complicated the situation is. Blindly calling for Israel to stop while insurgents don't surrender and give power back to the Lebanese people
Which year did you meet these people? Not trying to fact check you or anything. Just curious about the opinion of Lebanese people on the PLO and similar organisations in different decades.
"PLO Resistance" were driven out Palestinians from their homeland by illegally planted israeli occupation.
@@SlayerRiley early 2014-2017. I went to college with Lebanese exchange students who were either Christian or Muslims. Their parents grew up during the Israeli-Lebanon war. According to the students, their parents hated the PLO then and still hate the PLO now. Both groups cite that the PLO killed or maim friends and family.
Peace Sells but Who's Buying......
It sounds like Jordan made a wise decision by expelling the PLO. It seems like it saved them a lot of trouble in the following years.
My family always told me stories of this time. One that stuck out is that the Israelis would drop Bobby trapped kids toys that would explode. This lead to mothers warning their kids to never pick up toys on the street. Since many died thinking they found a toy.

Thanks!
It’s almost like people can’t be forced to move without cascading calamities or something.
The problems are not from the moving, but from not being able to find a destination. In the same period that 700,000 Arab refugees left Palestine, 10-15 million Germans were deported to Germany from across Europe, a million Poles and a 100,000 Ukrainians were deported from what became western Soviet territory to what was once eastern German territory, many millions of Muslims and Hindus were shuffled between India and Pakistan, and 800,000 Jews were moving in the opposite direction - from Muslim countries into Israel.
All of these groups managed (or were allowed) to figure it out and continue their lives without perpetual conflict except the Palestinian Arabs.
Hopefully, the suffering ongoing there today will end soon. Thank you for another informative episode on modern history.
God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)

great job, amazing episode !
I was a kid back then, but if my memory serves me right, the PLO fighters were evacuated by Greek ships.
Yes they were. They were evacuated by Greek ships to Tunisia I believe.
The info from this video reinforced my opinion that a minority from Israels militant government/Zionists have played both sides of the current Gaza conflict in pushing Hamas into power to the point of fracturing the Palestinian Authority so as to not be able to properly manage the state affairs without being undermined both locally by Hamas political influence and on the global stage via Hamas actions (that seem to be sometimes inspired by members within Israelis minority as to weaponize Israeli fear into a mandate to any and all military actions taken after).
This allows Israel to control the battle in terms of creating opportunities to invade by inciting terrorism actions (some of their logic is that a controlled action is more manageable then one that is left to their enemies), and as horrible as bringing violence on their own people the Israeli minority knows this would drive away international support for Palestine and even force the Palestinian Authority to co-operate with Hamas (even if the PA is aware of this outside influence and how it's destroying Palestine as a whole).
Even the Palestinian people are effectively forced into a Stockholm like relationship with a group that they know is actively working against their better interests and denying them the peace they year for in order to re-build and one day form a broader community of peace.
On paper fixing the issue would be a simple matter of arresting key members of both Hamas and key leaders in Israel who have actively orchestrated the violence on both sides, and in doing so would give the PA a chance to gain legitimacy both locally and abroad in it's ability to govern towards a two state solution and even give western support a scape goat for where lies the blame for all the war crimes thus far.
But the water is too murky for that and outside influence also has various other agendas, such as Russia wanting to expand middle east hostilities to draw away support from Ukraine (even china would benefit in it's ambition of Taiwan should hostilities expand), while global Christians have a number of fanatics who wish to bring utter chaos to the middle east for various reasons.
Yet all of this aside, the on paper plan would involve top figures in Israeli including a sitting prime minister relinquish power when the currently hold the majority of the power in a state that has the majority of western support and a plan to expand that power and influence across all of the middle east. Expecting this much power t be let go in the name of peace would never fly when the very prime minister involved likely has blood on his hands.
The reality is it will take the Israeli people to push their government into ousting it's current leadership and in doing so present enough evidence of collusion with Hamas as to allow the Palestinian Authority a legitimate reason to also oust Hamas from it's grip on power in Gaza. It's from this point that real peace talks could occur and for a two state solution to be worked out before bad actors could once again influence and derail the dream of a lasting peace accord in a land torn by violence and hatred.
No mention of the battle of Bekaa valley?
Interesting.

It is worthwhile to note that the Sabra-Shatila massacre was far from the only massacre in the Lebanese civil war.. In fact the Palestinians committed several massacres against the Christians, the most famous of which was in Damour. But Jews were not involved so no one cares or remembers.

Thanks for the vid. A date counter that always hows the date of the events being narrated as the video progresses would be very useful for keeping track of the timeline, as it's very easy to miss or forget dates that are mentioned in the script.
I gained a lot of ethical clarity about this long conflict by sticking to some principles that most people should find uncontroversial: A nation that is trying to steal territory from it neighbours through force of arms is the aggressor in that conflict, and thus bears primary responsibility for any violent acts of resistance that are incited by that aggression.
Unfortunately this means Israel and its western backers come out looking like the villains in this story. I think our support of Israel is harming our reputation and the reputation of all democracies by extension. It makes all talk of wanting peace, security and human rights for all people look like self-serving hypocrisy. We should end all support for this Israeli government and its policies as quickly as possible.

Israel is a prime example of a nation not able to turn military success into a permanent diplomatic victory. Whether it is extremists in their domestic affairs or terrible diplomats/politicians, they have squadered chance after chance to let a proper peace develop.
Eventually the military victories will end and the victims will remember what was done to them.
They will never turn military success (which is getting harder to achieve) to diplomatic victory. Because they simply do not belong there.
It’s because they don’t have the demographics to just annex the land without massive deportations, which the international community won’t let them do, and the Islamists (both salafi and Shia groups) don’t want peace with Israel, they want it not to exist.
The question who you fight and able to achive your diplomatic victory. Israel was able gain permanent diplomatic victory after the Six days war and Yom Kippur war, these were states with the ablity to enforce power and sovernity over the population, as they have what to lose. But agasint the PLO and Hamas? Yes, they have nothing to lose and their leader or don't want or not willing to back down.
for diplomacy you need 2 sides, for war only 1. the western world fails to understand that the middle east is not europe and diplomacy, in many occasions is not even an option by the loosing side.
