Why the Nakba is key to understanding Palestinian history #shorts

When the oppressed becomes the oppressor

Conveniently skipped the part where all Arab nations attacked the Jews right when UN made it a state lol.

This is extremely shady journalism. Very important details are being left out.

There was never a historic ancient Palestinian nation. But there were Jewish ones

I am not Jewish. Nor do I support the current Israeli policy. But this is simply not accurate history. It has omitted some key events in order to paint a certain narrative.

Y'all decided not to tell 99% of the story

Every time anyone says that Israel is our only friend in the Middle East, I can't help but think that, before Israel, we had no enemies in the Middle East.

Fun fact: this is called "lying by omission", its essentially telling only part if the story to push the narrative that you want, for example: Say you stole something, and have had it for a week by now, if someone asks you if you stole it and you say that its yours and you can prove it because you were seen with it last week, thays called lying by omission, ik the example is prrtty bad but it kinda gets the point across, i hope

Yeah let’s just skip the 1948 war completely where Egypt Syria Jordania and Palestinians arabs all declared war on Israel, and lost

Cycles of violence & hatred are supposed to be broken not continued.

You left out the part of them attacking before getting stomped and losing land

Casually defending terrorism casually excluding information

You did just skip the part where Israel did accept the UN plan, thereby becoming a real country, while Palestine did not, under pressure from other Arab states, and chose to attack Israel. Had they also accepted the plan, today perhaps the conflict would be much less one sided as both would have the sovereignty rights of a country.

You forgot the part where they were rejecting the proposal and starting a war against Israel 😂

Let’s not forget how many times the Arab states tried to attack the Jewish state and failed every single time which this video did not cover

When your country is founded on ethnic cleansing....

They never seem to mention that Palestinian territory was lost when they and other Arab states invaded Israel but ended up losing territory.

once again, let's all thank the British Empire and European colonialism for creating war and conflict

Respect to everyone in the comments for not blindly listening to the context-less video

You left out a couple of seriously important details. The UN proposed to create two states in the former British Palestine Mandate. Jewish leadership accepted. Arab leadership rejected the deal specifically because they were against any plan that would result in a nation for the Jews in that region of the world. They wanted the entirety, including Jerusalem, to be an Arab Muslim state. And they weren’t satisfied simply with protesting the plan. Instead, they kicked it up a thousand notches by declaring war on the new Jewish state, attacking with the intent to eliminate the new nation, and encouraging the local Arabs to leave their homes and villages while the invasion was being carried out. The Arab armies were driven back and ended up losing the war they started. When you start a war, as the surrounding Arab nations did, or ally yourself with the side who started the shooting, as the local Arab (later called Palestinian) population did, and then lose the war you started, you shouldn’t be surprised at the resulting negative consequences.
