I certainly didn't expect that either.
Ridiculously underrated channel for the quality on display here.
This is quite an ambitious crossover. I also love your videos. Hope you’re doing well man
Holy crap I love your videos man!
i had to do a triple take when i saw your name here.
Max0r is one of the last people I'd expect watching these videos. But glad you like them
Literally had to double check it was you. Loved your metal gear rising summary 🤣🤣 and absolutely love it when a RUclipsr I like comments on another RUclipsrs video/channel that I love
"...someone for whom the term 'white supremacy' was too inclusive."
That was brutal!
We need more Jewish chads. Maybe an episode simply dedicated to them. Disraeli's response can be considered a chad moment too.

“while your ancestors were brutal saveges in an unknown island, mone were priests in the temple of solomon”. what a gigachad roast
Lmao his ancestors genocided the Cannonites. Just because his ancestors were priestess dosent mean they were also flawed human beings.
@@brittanyhayes1043
Taking the biblical narrative at face value is a really bad move. We didn't kill the Canaanites, we *were* the Canaanites. Most archeology and historical study knows and agrees with this already.
@@Bombergangkidscrub the Cannanites were a separate people from the Israelites though.
@@Bombergangkidscrub Archeology shows there similarity yet also shows there different groups.
Only a completely ignorant person would describe the Druids as brutal savages. They were great builders and built a network of forts around the country that aligned with each other. Newgrange is also older than Stonehenge as are many of the archeology sites around Ireland. And Ireland had their calendar and roads long before the Romans. True Ireland wasn't inhabited until long after the levant but it doesn't mean the people there were savages.
2:13 I loved the addition of smog to the London map, 10/10 historical accuracy!
It took me two days to notice this: the background of the thumbnail is the “Jewish tartan”, which a rabbi created and registered with Scotland’s central authority for such things. (There is also a “Muslim tartan”, which is green.)
And a Sikh tartan, which is purple.

Sam, I love how you always upload in time for me to have a devar Torah for shabbat, Chag Sameach, and thank you 😊
That's the idea! You're welcome.
The UK having a mismatch of the image of progress yet a disdain for reform is still ongoing. As is the Lords being rather shit...

"I was elected by the people of my constituency, I was placed within this chamber by the votes of my peers and the citizens of our nation. I am a member of goddamn parliament and I will be taking my goddamn seat!"
Seriously. Democracy speaks for itself. The man was elected. There should be no other, NO OTHER consideration than that. How anyone justified this to themselves is insane to me.
What if Sinn Féin's MPs did the same?
@@mikaelvalter-lithander1247 I have no idea what kind of point you are attempting to make but I will respond thusly. If someone is elected to a constituency by the voters for some purpose, I see no wrong in them carrying that purpose out.
@@mikaelvalter-lithander1247 The examples here intended to be recognised by the UK’s political system; SF has the entirely opposite view, namely that Westminster should have nothing to do with any part of the Emerald Isle.
@@samwill7259 @LRT_ Unimog I was of the impression that SF did not take their seats in parliament due to not wanting to swear the oath. If that's the case, I think it is irrelevant what policy they pursue once seated; if their voters want unification, they should strive for that. If I have misunderstood their political position and they refuse to come to Westminster regardless of procedure, this point fails of course.
@@mikaelvalter-lithander1247 You'd' have to ask someone other than the ignorant yank, my friend. I was making more of a general point about democracy and elected officials rather than some explicit political statement about an election I hold no stake in or sway over.
Atheists were not emancipated until 1888. This was the doing of Charles Bradlaugh, an atheist who was repeatedly elected to parliament, rejected, fined and even locked up under Big Ben for speaking and voting there until he was allowed to "affirm" rather than take a religious oath. After that, Hindu, Parsi and Muslim MP were able to take their seats without obstruction.
By the way, the requirement for university students to assent to the tenets of the Church of England applied to Oxford and Cambridge, not the University of London or of course the Scottish Universities, which many boys from England attended.
I'm from Canterbury which has a Synagogue built in the late 1840s and is one of the few remaining intact Synagogues built in the Egyptian Revival style. The Synagogue hasn't hosted regular services since just before the First World War due to a dwindling Jewish population and was bought by The King's School which is a public school in 1982. The Synagogue building is still used both by The King's School as a music hall and also for occasional services around the Jewish holidays.
Also looking forward to the next episode and the Age of Nationalism.
Even as an Englishman, I rarely get to learn about the history of Victorian-era politics. I think a lot of people think it's "boring", since there's very little war (and where there is, it's... problematic...) but the internal struggles were very real!
Really? But it's so important, and Americans (at least who took AP classes like me) had to study all the minutiae of 19th century US politics, from nullification to bimetallism!
@@SamAronow TBF like 50% of US history is in the 19th century so you don't have much of a choice. I think it's like how some Southern American states overlook slavery in their education system - Britain overlooks colonialism.
AP courses are the same nationwide; you get university credit for it. And in fact their "US history" curriculum begins in 1607 and ends in the present day. We in 2006-07 were studying the events of 2005.
“Once again, the measure passed the House of Commons but failed in the House of Lords.”
Me, an American in 2022: “Why do I have the sudden feeling of deja vu?”
Eventually in 1911, they made it so that the Lords effectively couldn't veto any bill except an emergency motion to postpone an election (to prevent a dictatorship from taking over). You can't do this in the US because it actually has a constitution.
@@SamAronow Isn't that related to things that were explicit in the Party manifesto of the previous election.
I've no idea if they have Party manifestos in the USA?
@@marksimons8861 We have party platforms at the quadrennial convention, but they don’t count for anything because parties don’t choose their own candidates the way they do in other countries. Most voters are party members, there’s no annual dues, so American primaries are basically public elections. In California they literally are, since we got rid of party primaries entirely, but that’s the exception.
@@marksimons8861 America doesn't really have political parties, per se: anyone can claim to belong to a party, have whatever policy preferences they want, and there's nothing that can be done about it. You can't eject people from the party or pass a vote of no confidence or other such standard measures available in the UK system. The 2016 election is an excellent example because both major parties had insurgent movements that were loosely opposed by their establishments, both of which got a very strong foothold in dictating that platform. In another system, those movements would have taken legislative seats and forced the establishment members into public coalitions, but in the American system, they can only do backroom deals and then cross their fingers for each individual member. A lot of noise was made in 2020 about the Democrats taking a 50%+ majority in the US Senate but it hasn't actually converted into anything because no Senator has any actual requirement to conform to the party line.
We don't vote parties into office. We vote individuals. For better and worse.
@@Duiker36 I’ve always contended that the two partys present in American politics should more accurately be viewed as broad coalitions rather then partys, due to the reasons you’ve listed among others
What a great video. Interesting how it overlaps with the general knowledge about British jews famous in Israel, and also with british history in general.
Ah yes, the "No? Well I'm going to it any way." approach.
Your videos are incredible Sam! I convinced the professor I work for to use parts of them in her university lectures.
Your upload timing is absolutely perfect. The same weekend as Shavuot but also here in the UK it’s the queen’s platinum jubilee. This was a fantastic upload regardless of date uploaded
First video to come out since I binged your entire channel from the first video, can't wait for it to continue.
Amazing video! I have been waiting for this one for a long time, great job as usual!
חג שבועות שמח!
I love how every party gets an Israeli election style Hebrew initial!
Why do you think the Conservative party got the Sin/Shin character? I was trying to figure it out out but honestly have no idea. Seems arbitary.
@@sportzajent שמרנים or in English conservatives.
Nice job Sam. Always interesting.
An interesting fact is that the oldest Jewish community in Britain is the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish community and we know spain may not have good relationship with britian but portugal is the oldest and best allie of great britian they are like buddy buddys and the there was trickle of ashkenazi immigration primarily from German countries continued from the late 17th century to the early 19th century, before a second wave of ashkenazi immigration and some even came for the russian empire
Amazing video as always!!!
“Ain’t nothing in the rules that says a Jew can’t *run* for public office.”
Such a informative, balanced and factual article... well done!
Awesome hostory; thank you Sam!
You really are speeding through all of it
Suddenly I remembered "Fagin", a graphic novel by Will Eisner that narrates the story of the Oliver Twist's character taking a historical perspective, showing the various aspects of Jews in Britain, the contrasts between sefardim and ashkenazim, social prejudices, etc.
in-depth!
Fun fact:Moses Montefiore is one of greatest heroes of Israel and Jews🙏🏼
This fun fact may unfold in a future episode, since it disclosed we're entering the age of nationalism (i.e. Zionism) very soon...
My father insisted that as she lowered the sword to his shoulder, Victoria Regina enquired 'Why is this knight different to all other knights?'.
What was his stance concerning infant circumcision? 🤔
Credited in a Sam Aronow video - dream come true 😎
Once again, Napoleon’s example of liberalism looms so large even the British can’t ignore him. I love this channel!
Napoleon's "liberalism" did not go very far: apart from restoring monarchy in his own person, and in other countries for his relatives, he also restored slavery after it had been abolished by the revolutionary deputies.
he was an authoritarian that called himself an emperor bud.
As an Irish person, I’d be delighted to know the two letters ascribed to the Repeal Association. Love the channel.
It's good to see The Liberator himself in a video. His push for Catholic emancipation really did capture the spirit of equality in Ireland, hence why Jews were being supported imo. I would say though, most Irish people did support some form of republicanism or at the bare minimum home rule, it just happened to be that until the abolition of the Statues of Kilkenny that they couldn't voice such an opinion by the ballot box
Hi Sam,
Great video as always - I have been looking forward to Disraeli's debut ever since we got into this series.
I'm curious: are you reading any Jewish history books for pleasure, rather than for research? I just finished one called Pastrami on Rye: An Overstuffed History of the Jewish Deli. It was a fascinating window into the Americanization of Yiddishkeit. I'm a bit of a foodie so it was a page-turner for me.
Also just started one called A Rich Brew, about the role of European cafés in the secularization of Jewish culture (mid-19th to mid-20th century). The first chapter mentions Odessa as "the Jewish city," hence why it made me think of you.
Cheers!
Sadly, I hardly have any time to read _anything_ that isn't for work. But yeah, Odessa was always a big deal that way.
@@SamAronow Ah, that's a shame. If you ever find the time, though, I highly recommend both.
Love the channel, your videos are the highlight of my week.
9:47 hot dang, is this a real world example of the Airbud Clause
"And took his f***ing seat" iconic moment LMAO
8:34 I'm surprised that O'Connell didn't spontaneously combust upon receiving a burn that severe.
I’m a teacher & these videos are GREAT!
How many episodes do you think it will be tell the end of the series? Also when will you get to the holacust?
A very enlightening overview again. I wish you had outlined just how broadly voting was assigned during this period as the franchise was very limited in the Napoleonic Era, also Catholics in Ireland were mostly exempted from the franchise and in Northern Ireland only got the vote in the 1960's and lastly Taunton is not a city but a large town, a fairly forgettable one at that. Looking forward to the next episode.
This is not exactly true, about the vote: they had the same rights as anyone else had for Westminster (ie, national) elections (ie, one man, one vote, since the 1920s), but NI maintained essentially a property qualification limitation for local elections. Whilst this didn't technically disbar anyone by religion and of course many Catholics were easily wealthy enough to vote, the system still disproportionately (and deliberately) affected Catholics. This was done away with in the 1960s as you say, and it was unacceptable then as it would be today - but it's still not accurate to say they were unable to vote in NI until the 1960s! they were able to vote there as in all of the UK since 1829 and the place did alway have a at least a few SF politicians throughout its history - in fact I don't believe NI has ever not had at least 2 Sinn Fein MPs since 1922, but I could be wrong.
@@londoninse appreciate the clarification
I have a question about the map you used near the end of the video. As it focused on Italy, you can see a small bit of land is carved out inside of Two Sicilies. What country owned that land?
There were two papal enclaves, Benevento and Pontecorvo, inside the Two Sicilies.
@@SamAronow thank you so much. I didn’t know that until now.
What software / apps you use for animation ?
Prussia made out pretty well too. It took another generation for the German Empire to emerge, but that snowball started rolling in 1815.
Finally.
this is such an interesting topic to learn about because if we remember that britian was the case of the whole thing in palestine so this whole topic becomes more intereting if we keep that fact in mind but i know britian was a good place for jews way batter then most places in europe
Britain was not the cause. You will see this in the coming months.
Can you make a video on the gr”a?
What’s that?
I already did!

Disraeli - Britains first ethnic minority prime minister, and its greatest prime minister of the Victorian age. British Jews have really shaped modern Britain as much as the Huguenots.
8:34 the quotes actually aged like milk with modern archeology, because irish actually created great monument like Newgrange in 3200 BCE or more than 2000 years older than Solomon's temple that constructed in 900s BCE.
@@xunqianbaidu6917 ah yes, those Irish people weren’t Irish. Lol
@@cd1051 the insular celts (ancestors of modern day irish people, scots, welsh people, manx people...) only reached britain and ireland by 500bc. xunqianbaidu is 100% correct. the pre-indo-european population of ireland that built newgrange were (as we all are) the 10th cousins of the archaic indo-europeans living in modern-day russia and ukraine, but that doesnt mean that modern indo-european irishpeople are descended from the pre-indo-european insular population.
The quote actually aged like milk because he responded to sneering bigotry against a marginalised people with more sneering bigotry against a marginalised people
@@benjolicious Well, Ballynahatty woman found in ireland are dated to live around 5000-ish years ago or around 3000s BCE. She already has hemocromatosis genetic condition. Modern british and irish population have higher prevalence of hemocromatosis genetic condition compare to others indo-european speaking population. It is sufficient to conclude that modern day irish population does have some ancestor from pre-indo-european irish population or Newgrange builder that intermarries or assimilated with indo-european migrants.
@@muhammadabdullahhanif8860 i mean yeah indoeuropeans obviously internarried with the local population. but that still doesnt mean that the neolithic pre-ie people and modern irish people are the same.

You might think this video is greatly interesting, but I could not possibly comment .
Do you like he is going to talk about the Jew of New York in the Lower East Side?
5:11 What's the asterisk on the US? Is it a individual state thing?
Yes.
@@SamAronow As in federally it was allowed but individual states said otherwise, or individual states did emancipation but there was no federal law?
@@gabrielrussell5531 At the time, emancipation at the federal level was interpreted as only applying to federal offices, with states being allowed to do whatever. Maryland was the only state to outright prohibit Jews from voting (until 1828), but several other states prohibited non-Protestants from public office, with New Hampshire being the last (holding out until 1877).
@@ChevyChase301 This is true of the entire US until the 1968 Civil Rights Act. Coming from California, I know of many suburbs that were whites-only (inc. no Jews; my grandparents were refused from one of them). Even Beverly Hills was one of them, and there are still a lot of private clubs out there that maintained one or two token Jews to avoid being officially discriminatory until the late 1970s. This is true of businesses too; Wall Street was probably the last major sector of the economy to desegregate, in the late 1980s.
This, by the way, is why Jews are stereotyped as eating Chinese food on Christmas: due to redlining, all of the Chinese neighborhoods in New York City were next to Jewish ones.
@@ChevyChase301 Is it legal in the USA to discriminate against people on account of their race/religion. I understand it is still allowed for sexuality (shock, horror!)
How do you make your maps?

Disraeli is one of those great statesmen that speaks for himself.
You should have ended O'Connell's spiel with "fal de diddly dee"
Because that's how Irish people talk. That isn't even Irish you watch too much tv
My only complaint is that your chronology needs to be presented a bit more chronologically.
4:57 13:37 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I never expected to laugh so much at a video on a topic so serious. Well, I suppose history and humor must mix; otherwise we would all become depressed.
David Solomons is my new favorite historical figure. It seems as if we're going to Italy next episode, and I can't wait to see the Pope getting destroyed by Italy.
I'm a Briton myself (albeit of descent, I'm of American nationality) and I could say, my own Jewish ancestors when they moved in around 1600s converted to Anglicanism and married English Protestants
David Salomans - the original bad boy punk! Epic story!
Why O'Connell speaks with what sounds like a north Dublin accent, I'll never know
There is much more than enough excitement, heroes, interest, relevance, and progress in this story to warrant a most excellent movie. If the stories of the yellow stars, both from 20th and previous centuries is not told to youth today in a modern context, then fascism and nazism, racism and anti-semitism will beset us all, jew and gentile again and again.

2:48 MENDOZAAAAA
Excellent channel. Portuguese Jews are "de", not "ben".
to be fare in the 19th century many people could not vote in Britain at the time unless you where a male landowner/property owner but on British politics there is this idea that it is sophisticated but in actuality its a one upmanship with a massive amount of obstructionist attitude with a i know better attitude, with laws that are that complicated they don't even function well. i am amazed half the time anything ever gets done without some childish outburst and i know a few MPs still not impressed the British attitude is to ignore them until they go away half the time.
10:20 why is there a shin by conservatives?
"Conservative" in Hebrew is _Shamranit._
EDIT: This is not just a literal translation, either. In Hebrew media, the UK Conservative Party is called "HaMiflaga HaShamranit." Inexplicably, they don't do this for the other parties.
Why did Victoria “personally detest” Rothschild?
She thought he was a characterless dilettante, whereas Montefiore was the brains- and got his start in the tea business.
@@SamAronow Thank you.
@@SamAronow why are the most controversial and hated jews named Rothschild or have a family name of it more than any other group of jews?
Mr. Beat has a good video about this. Basically they are just a family that established numerous banks around western Europe in the 19th century, and they were by far the most successful Jewish family to do so, so white supremacists and later other conspiracy theorists accused them of being part of a Jewish plot to take over the world...by expanding credit and supporting more democratic regimes.
@@SamAronow and what do you think of the Rothschild? I never met any so I personally hold no animosity or admiration. Let alone a collective one.
TAUNTON MENTION 🥳
What will blow your minds guys there are Irish Jewish people. The first mayor of Dublin was a Jewish man who was also a full on Irish nationalist.
iam shocked to see ireland be opean minded to jew like i heard one before/after ww2 ireland did not allowed any jew to come to ireland dew to you know ireland being cathlic but iam not coupling this is good iraland is such a great place i love then
Political norms don't necessarily align with public opinion. In fact they rarely do. As I said, Britain in this period was the least antisemitic country in Europe, yet was a relative latecomer to Jewish emancipation. In Ireland, negative attitudes towards Jews on the street were actually much more prevalent (and still are, though not overwhelmingly so)- yet Jewish emancipation was a mainstream issue decades before the rest of Europe.
It takes a lot for Irish people to dislike you. I think the Irish are more anti the Israeli government than Jewish people themselves. Most of them feel bad for the Jewish old people. My mother worked for an old Jewish woman who survived the concentration camps but she developed agoraphobia so mom visited her everyday. She was so grateful for my mom she was a very sweet woman. I try remind myself to be polite which I think goes against my natural inclination lol. because you never know what someone else is going through.
O'Connell got roasted big time
Disraeli as a radical ?!
nobody in those days could vote or hold public office the working and middle class couldent vote
“For whom the term white supremacist was too inclusive” reminds me of that family guy but where they found Quauhog
It reminds me of the recent "Anglo-Saxon" memo on government architecture by Marjorie Taylor-Greene.
In 1650 English, Welsh, Scots and Dutch and North Germans were white. In 1750 the rest of Germanic people. In 1850 Northern Italy, France, the Balts and Ireland. In 1950 everyone else.

Fun fact: Benjamin Disraeli is the reason why the conservative party in the UK is colloquially known as "the Torys" today
No it isn't; the Tories as an institution go back at least to the 17th century. You can argue whether the post-Stuart Tories _truly_ represent a continuation of that, or if are really a conservative offshoot of the Whigs, but the term was in use to describe the precursor to the Conservative Party long before Disraeli was born, such as during the American Revolutionary War.
@@SamAronow dw fixed my comment. You are right about that tho
As usual, Ireland standing up for minorities. They still do so.
The only people that never expelled the Jews. And yes Ireland Jewish people did immigrate to Ireland in the 12th century. That's how they think the Irish have a higher rate of Tay Sachs disease than other Europeans.
