Why Did The Yom Kippur War Happen?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 сен 2023
- On the 6th October 1973 Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel. They had chosen to attack on the day of Yom Kippur, believing that it would give them an advantage. The news stunned Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Golda Meir, because Israeli Intelligence had believed there was a low probability of war. In this video, we cover the conflicts leading up to the Yom Kippur War, and the reasons that led to another war in 1973.

Ironically the Yom Kippur holiday made an Israeli rapid mobilisation much easier as the streets were clear of traffic.
Absolutely correct. A Quatermaster's dream! No other country has a mobilisation system so advanced and smart.
Really?
Mr.Kippur never failed to make my day in the last 50 years.
LOL.
This video suddenly became more relevant
This was about as balanced a video that could be made on the subject. Treading a (literal) minefield. Hats off 👏
100% agreed. Well done!
No mention of the Jewish refugees that were forced out of all Muslim majority countries. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_the_Muslim_world
Disagree. It’s a good attempt but glosses over what a lot of Israeli and western retellings give short shrift to: Palestinians have legitimate claims to the land having lived there as the majority population for centuries, and legitimate grievances as most of the land transferred to Jewish Israelis was bought out from underneath Palestinians without their consent, taken under color of law, or purposefully emptied via forms of terrorism. There’s a reason Palestinians call the experience The Nakba (The Catastrophe). Until and not unless their story gets a fair hearing will there be peace. I’d say the same for Israeli Jews. Mutual understanding is the only path to a solution.
@@bghystMany more ethnic Germans were expelled from their homes in what is today Poland and the Czech Republic in the same period, but for some reason you've decided its only still critically important when it was done by Israel. 🤔

Say what you will about the Israelis but Sadat was a pragmatic politician. Not blinded by the delusion of Arab Unity, he successfully leveraged what was otherwise another defeat into a victory that has held until now.
He did this while also managing to get Syria down with the sinking ship voluntarily and with them not even gaining anything.
And he paid for it with his life
@@ronmaximilian6953 like all the good arabs's do they die while the crafty evil bastards slaughter.
So you are saying he hated syria and set them up so, that they lost as many as possible?
@@gonfreaks937 Egypt advanced on the Sinai, out of their AA cover just so the Israelis would redirect forces from the Syrian front.
It's a diversion Assad asked Nasser for and Nasser complied. Egypt did not betray Syria.
I'm slightly confused about what victory you are referring to is it Egypt gaining the the Sinai desert.
Thank you for this video, it is very timely in helping contextualize the conflict between Israel and the Arab nations.
As an American history teacher who is Jewish & been to Israel & Egypt (& studied both histories immensely), I have to say this video (like all of your videos) are incredibly well researched & produced.
I feel bad for Sadat, as he did something incredibly brave in his recognition of Israel after the Khartoum Resolution. Who knows how many people this peace between Israel & Egypt has saved. Unfortunately, some hard-liners in Egypt disagreed, and Sadat was assassinated a few years later by his own people. The same would happen to Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, who was murdered by an Israeli who was angry over the Oslo Accords peace deal with the PLO & Arafat.
Sadly, as we have seen with these two and with Ghandhi and MLK and countless others - fighting for peace is often not very popular and can be quite dangerous.
As an Egyptian i can tell you one thing We, as the people of Egypt, do not hate the Jews, but rather we hate the Zionists and what they did to our brothers in Palestine.( A promise from those who do not have to those who do not deserve )
Si vis pacem, parabellum.
yep, in this conflict its not the leaders who steer towards conflict, its the bloodthirsty common people
Sadat sold out the Palestinian cause for Egypt's material benefit, but at what many saw as being at the expense of its honor. Not saying that's right or wrong, as countries often look out primarily for their own interest, but one can understand why some of his compatriots would aggrieved under the circumstances.
@@thathandsomedevil0828
Which language is this pls😮
Many in Egypt's military leadership also failed to see the benefits of recognizing Israel, and were angered by the 1978 Camp David peace treaty. This ultimately led to Sadat's assassination by fundamentalist officers in the Egyptian Army. He used the newfound peace to gain support for resolving the Palestinian independence solution, which might have been more feasible if he had not been killed before his work came to fruition.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand says hello!
And just to make sure, Yitzhak Rabin was murdered as well. Winning a Nobel Peace Prize is a risky business in the Middle East.
I don't have an answer on how peace might be achieved, but murdering political leaders is a pretty good way to ensure that it _won't_ be.
and yet, Israel has made every country around it has its own wars and issues that it wont be supporting the palastinians rights ever again.
There is no benefits from letting the israel project continue. It in its entirety was a massive f u to the entire arab world
@@juniperpansy Fortunately, Sadat’s death didn’t have the same effect.
I shouldn't be surprised that it's come from this channel, but this is probably the best summary of the events I've heard.
Pretty solid factual account of the events.
It's important to note that it's not that Israeli intelligence didn't acquire the necessary information about Arab intentions - the Mossad absolutely did, they had exact knowledge of when it was going to happen from their agents in top Arab command - but hubris made the Israeli leadership lean on the wrong conception. In fact, the very word "conception" (transliterated in Hebrew as "conceptzia") has become strongly and negatively associated with the Yom Kippur war in Israeli Hebrew.
It was Kissinger that "threw a spoke in the Isrzeli wheel". Plain & simple! They new the date from A. Marwan and the military plans. Before that King Hussein had flown himself over to meet Golda Meir for a private tete-a-tete. He told her the imminent joint Syrian Egyptian attack!
Kissinger had an ulterior plan?
Just like the FBI and 9/11.
Israeli intelligence had believed local forces could hold the lines in north and south, unfortunately they were wrong
the ENEMIES from within are the worst kind. OBAMAGATE TRATORS.
Just like what happened on October 7. Amazing how history repeats itself.
Egypt: UN Peacekeepers, we demand you leave. We need to invade our neighboring country.
UN Peacekeepers: Aight we’re gonna head out
They have a right to fight off an aggressive invader neighbor populated entirely from a foreign continent after slaughtering and removing the MAJORITY ARAB population by force with american tanks with un markings by running down their houses, and even the oppresion of native jews and hebrews who had no meaningful shared religious, cultural, or ethnic heritage with the invaders.
@@JohnSmith-fq3rgNo, according to international law you dont have the right to invade another country just because you want to.

@@JohnSmith-fq3rgAre you effin thick? You're lying about most of the important parts of the story. HALF of the Jewish population of Israel are Mizrahi Jews who used to live in Arab countries and Iran. HALF. So much for your "foreign continent" bs.
Removing the Arab majority by force? Are you from a parallel universe? The absolute vast majority of Arabs fled because the Arab League told them to! "Leave for few weeks, we will just slaughter the Jews and drive the rest into the sea and then you can come back".
You can criticise Israel all you want but stop LYING.
What a timely day to have this recommended to me.
Babe wake up Yom Kippur 2 just dropped
There is a movie called "Golda" which is about Golda Meir during the Yom Kippur war. It illustrates the failure of Israel intelligence and how close the Arabs came to defeating Israel.
Egypt and Syria knew Israel had nukes so there was never any chance of defeat only of losing the Golan and some of the Sinai.
It is bias movie filming Zionists as the victims in fact they are not
Nixon as much as he is detested by many Americans re-supplied the Israeli forces after losing a good share of their military equipment. Say what you want about Nixon he helped save Israel and let the Soviets know he would broke no intervention on their part!
The Israeli intelligence didn't fail Israeli leadership did
@@mrmr446 Nukes are very much a last resort. International support for Israel would vaporise if they used nukes, unless it would be to avoid annihilation. And even then it would be doubtful.

By not calling it jedea, the Roman name, and a region that had jews over a thousand years before any Muslims, is wrong.

The Yom Kippur war occurred on Yom Kippur, but it had nothing to do with the day itself beyond the cowardly leverage of striking the Jewish nation on the holiest day in the Jewish year.
50 years later the history repeat again..
imagine attacking the jews on a their version of ramadan and getting rekt so hard the muslims had to play the victim card a few years later
Muslims always play the victim card

excellent explanation thanks
Great post.
You put the history channel to shame.
Recently watched the Israeli film " The Pier" factually based on an Israeli (army) position on the Suez canal that ultimately fell to the Egyptians .
Of all the scenes that moved me , it was the part where on Yom Kippur , Sirens rang out , and synagogues emptied of ( reserve ) soldiers , some hurriedly rushing to their bases , that really shocked me
It seems the English title of the movie was translated as "The Stronghold".
......which would make more sense @@Physiker17
@@dovidell the pier is the name of the movie in Hebrew too
I remember that day as though it was yesterday. My sisters, 2 neighbor kids, and I were home alone when the sirens started going off. We were terrified and ran back and forth between our homes waiting for our mothers to return. We were also listing to a radio as things were developing. Eventually one them returned and we headed to a bomb shelter.

thank you.
Tell me why Egyptians are so deluded to the point they think they won the war?
Like seriously, they are the only country that celebrate Victory Day on 1st Day of the war.
A fantastic book on the history of the area, specifically focusing on British and French involvement, is called A Line In The Sand by James Barr, if youre interested.
On the 50th anniversary hamas attacks and now another war starts
Wow, and to think 2 weeks after this was posted and a day after the anniversary of this surprise attack, Hamas would attack Israel, slaughter hindreds of unarmed civilians and take many as histages back to the Gaza Strip.
Came here after Hamas Attack on Israel 😢
And found a settler-colonial, aparteid state that has been at war since it was formed?
Thanks for another great video!
To quote Brezhnev.
We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, "Save me!" He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."
4 November1973
Egypt won
ruclips.net/video/qjhhqKi9tv4/видео.html
Sadat would never say it like that, but anyways Sadat already saw the true intentions of the soviets, they barely ever accepted Egyptian demands to be fully trained on specific vital weapons. eventually the soviets were kicked out by Egypt and Egypt achieved its war goals by pushing into Sinai and keeping their position there. Sadat simply said give me an inch back from Sinai, and I will get it all back diplomatically and he did.
@@zgoodt Kissinger pressured Israel not to launch a pre-emptive attack on the Egyptian army and not to mobilize reserves and prevented the destruction of the 3rd Egyptian army surrounded by stopping armored brigades of paratroopers and infantry at a distance of 101 km from Khaik. He prevented Israel from defeating the Egyptian army as in the Six Day War
@@gabrieljoseph6310 The Israeli forces were halted literally in the vicinity of the Suez canal cities, they were in a far tougher situation than propagated.
As for the third army, it was in no way under the threat of annihilation, it is also another piece of propaganda despite the Israelis admitting the third army under encirclement still kept pushing and gaining more land.
Kissinger didn't prevent anything really, as the damage to the Israelis was done, and their objective failed.
Now let's assume the already halted logistically ill units somehow kept moving west, the silly idea that they would face no resistance is media propaganda to just make the position of the Israelis in Sinai less catastrophic as it actually were.
Also stop acting so full of yourselves when 3 weeks right after the defeat of 1967 the Israeli army tried to attack a Sinai city called Ras El Esh which is right next to the canal and failed miserably resulting in an undisputed Egyptian victory.
the Israelis forces were:
1 Mechanized Infantry Battalion
1 Tank company
1 Bomber squadron
The Egyptian forces were: 30 thunderbolt soldiers.
the battle happened on 1st July 1967 and the area never fell to the Israelis.
to conclude all of this:
Israel loves to propagate itself as the victim, at the same time as the undefeated and strongest. in reality a victim like that has no chance of overpowering an actually well prepared very strong army. the reality was the Israelis were far stronger. and highly equipped.
Israel didn't fight the Egyptians in the 6 day war, and many of their leaders who had some sense of logic admitted they didn't really defeat the Egyptian army at that war.
And if you are not an Israeli, or even if you are, just know that your media be it Israeli or western, would never share to you the reality of that war.
Kindly, tell me when did the victorious Israel gave back any occupied land?
Please tell me why the victorious Israel issued an investigation committee held by the judge Agranat for IDF faliure?
Guess who scored his goal from the war at the end and returned back his occupied land??
Oh boy…

Beside the military equipment advantages , jews in 1948 were all world war 2 veterans who had a lot of experience fighting With the allies, and also they started 2 of these wars specially 1967 and destroying Egyptian air force on the ground and having air superiority, unlimited USA support unlike the cheap soviets
Ooooff the timing
And it goes on and on, yesterday, today, tomorrow. ✌️🙏. Peace on Earth 🌎🌍.
I misread the title as "Did the Yom Kipur war happen?" And I was very confused.
Worth noting that both Begin and Sadat would also be assassinated, with one reason being their willingness to negotiate with “the other side”.

I was stationed in the Sinai in 1995 as part of the MFO. We were told that the Israelis, as they were withdrawing from the Sinai, offered to sell to Egypt all of the structures they had built during their stay (like the buildings at the airfield where we landed). Of course, the Egyptians said no. So Israel blew up all of the buildings they built. Rather funny, I think.
I was a peacekeeper there as well in 2012 during the second revolution. We took Blackhawk helicopters to the OPs and all you could see the entire flight were burnt out or half built resort areas the Israelis were building but were never finished or intentionally destroyed during their withdrawal. You are correct.
LOL

It’s just footage from probably the first Arab Israeli war, the British left, or ‘left’ as some claim, equipment for the Israelis
@@looinrims Could have been the Egyptian army kit, since they were trained and equipped by the British. Israelis did not have that much British kit. They were mostly rearmed with stuff from Czechoslovakia.
I imagine that after the extremely unpleasant business with Germany was concluded, quite a lot of equipment was left behind by Britain. In both countries, seeing as Britain had administered both.
The Egyptians and jordanians were armed by the British.

55,535* but 13th all the same.
Sadat is a leader who people needs, but don't deserves.
Common media BS. Your knowledge of Sadat is limited to what western media fed you. Sadat betrayed every single person that stood by him in his history. Betrayed his republican guard general that protected his quo in may 1971 and assassinated him in London, betrayed his chief of staff al shazli and falsely blamed him for tthe breakthrough. Betrayed and killed 3rd army chief general ahmad badawy and the rest of his staff in the helicopter crash in 1981.

Never gonna happen
So the 50th anniversary was the motivation for this recent attack
Here we go again
Egypt's position towards the Palestinians became:
_"We have fought enough wars for you."_
The thing with Arab Unity - was that there has never been any since Muhammad. As soon as he died - the conflict between the Sunnis and the Shiites began and is still going on today.
Jordan decided after the Six Day War - that it had done enough and Egypt after Yom Kippur.
Yassar Arafat and the PLO began to negotiate with Israel and that resulted in Hamas.
One idea floated about the Palestinians - was that they demand Israeli Citizenship - and the right to vote. Then - with their growing population - take over Israel that way. The Israeli's are not likely to do that - but - it would be a non-violent way of protesting the way they are treated. Long term ... who knows?
.
Arab Israelis - Palestinian Israelis - are allowed to vote, and make up about a 20% of Israel’s population. The problem is those that live in the West Bank and Gaza that ‘voted’ in the PLO and Hamas respectively, and haven’t seen another election in more than 2 decades. Just misspent funds, suffering and death.
Shouldn't have invaded the first time and they would have had half the land themselves instead of just the gaza strip and west Bank. It's their own fault.
