I want to thank everyone who has subscribed and is watching. I very much appreciate your valuable feedback and want to address the comments about the length of the videos. There have been a number of comments, and some expressions of disappointment or frustration, that the episodes are not longer. Some have asked why. There are a few reasons why the videos are the length they are. The videos were created to work in conjunction with the companion study guide and the episodes are following the topic sections of the guide (which offers more detail for those want to go deeper). Decisions about the length of each video therefore, were based on what would achieve the most logical and balanced presentation possible. For example, giving the segment on Christianity and Israel-Palestine it’s own video roughly equal in content to the segment on Islam. Decisions about the length of the videos was also determined by balancing the desire to create the most graphically rich and professional series we could produce within the budget that we had to work with. Longer videos would have required compromising on graphics. These are some of the reasons for why the episodes are the length that they are. As we move into producing the next round of videos (the ones after episode 8) consideration will be given to all the feedback that’s been provided and we will revisit the length of the segments going forward. In the interim, I want to express my sincere appreciation for your interest and feedback and I hope that you will continue to watch and share the series. In the future, we will aim to create longer videos or release content faster, and are grateful that the major complaint so far is that the videos are too short. With gratitude, Richard

Finally a fact filled, historically accurate video series that does not just attack jews or Arabs

It's the most historically accurate (so far), balanced (so far), detailed (yet relevant) and above all beautifully-designed series about the subject I have seen in KZfaq (so far ;P ). All in all it is very important that everyone will watch it without prejudging. There are too many people who think they have opinion on that subject without knowing the facts and history, and this ignorance is the best friend of hatred. I hope it will bring people to understand the conflict more deeply, and that it is complicated. I also hope it won't make them think that both sides are right, as a good old post-modern twisted mind work... There is only one truth, but the way to it is hard for most. BTW: The name is a bit ridiculous, but that is what you get when you try to be as non-judgmental as possible... Good job.

thank you very much for spreading knowledge! greetings from Brazil.

I think this video series is excellent!!

I don't know what your political motivations are but the videos seem accurate.

Yet another painfully short clip. Richard Bass, I've commented on your last video regarding the length of your series. Can you please shed some light on the deciding factors in play, to produce such short episodes? I'll assure you that this criticism comes from a deep appreciation for the work that you are doing with this series. But at this point, the length of your episodes is a common theme among the comments section of every episode, and we would all love to know.

Missing event: British Navy under Churchill made the decision to switch from coal fired to oil fired ships. Brits had plenty of coal at home but oil could only be obtained from Middle East. Britain needed a political ally and military/naval base on the Mediterranean to control the oil. This was prior to WWI. That was the deal that initiated support for Zionism in Syria/Palestine. Also, behind any conflict will be found a common promoter, which this video describes but does not identify. In this case the Brits. Further, one should follow the course of the Anglo American Establishment that was produced by the Rhodes fortune and propagated by Lord Milner. It resulted in the formation of the Royal Institute of International Affairs in UK and Council on Foreign Relations in the US. Also of note is that conflicts and bad ideas in general seem to originate with intellectuals. Intellectuals have led humanity over the edge into war and disaster because intellectuals live in a world of ideas divorced from reality. The populace of any country resists war and conflict until fully propagandized by intellectuals.

Very well narrated. Just a question on your triangular insertions in all videos. What does it symbolize? Why the constant insertions?

always those cliffhangers at the end. publish faster!

Zionism didn't start in the Middle East. It is a European movement that sought refugee to Palestine. Many Zionists were Russian Jews and not Arab Jews, as Jews made 3% of Palestine before the first aliyah (Jewish immigration). The second aliyah arguably brought with it Zionism as we know it today (territorial and sovereignty ambitions)

you guys should have called it Canaan instead of IsraelPalestine, loving this series and im a Palestinian!

background music?

My great great grandfather was a Polish/Russian Jew who moved to London

I really enjoy your films. But I feel, especially in the case of this one you should be more specific in your faces. (for the less factual viewers) talking about Germany, pre 1900 was a small country, compared to today. Also you mentioned Theodor Herzl, an 'Austrian' he was an Austro-Hungarian. Which was a vast empire. (Which is why many say Hitler was Austrian not German). But still, keep up the impressive work.

I had such high hopes for this channel, but the content is coming out too slow.Three minutes with this many days between them terrible. I won't share it with my friends because there is not enough to make it worth it. By the time you finish releasing all the videos the newness will have worn off. It looks like you have made all the videos already and are just doing a drawn out release. Release the videos quicker, get some excitement for the channel and then you can get more money for making more content.

I find this pretty accurate based on my long involvement in the subject. However, no matter how one can present it, it will always be a coulpe of Europeans invading the Middle East, which was already populated by Non European Jews, Christians and Muslims for centuries.

Palestinian not arab, name nations correctly or don't do it at all.

1. Why Zionism emerged. 2. It is nationalism 3. It was Secular. 4. II think it was naive to assume Arab Palestinians would not object. The Turkish Empire lost control of Palestine and the British Empire gained control. It tried to balance Israeli nationals and Arab nationalism. It failed absymialy. Frances and

So, 1 jew gets falsely accused and convicted and that is equal to deeprooted antisemitism in france back then? even your own words contradict that notion as france had equal rights for jews before that... Draping yourself in the cloak of victimhood doesn't suit you...

Your fact are incorrect the goal of Zionism was to establish a Jewish home land not particularly in Palestine

There are many lies here.

This video makes a very SERIOUS MISREPRESENTATION. The important element missed in this video series is who Arabs, Jews and Palestinian Jews are at this stage of the emergence of Nationalism during the Colonial era. Jews outside of "Arab" countries are actually communities established before the modern Arabs became known as Arabs. And that Palestinians are actually the original people of the land who now speak Arabic. This MISREPRESENTATION is actually a crucial missing piece to understanding the matter. Arabs did not become the majority speaking people. Palestinians were Islamised and Arabised i.e. those indigenous people who did not emigrate from Palestine.
