Animator here, Hope you guys enjoy part 2

oversimplified: "its impossible for an animated history channel to make a video every few months" Things I care About: *hold my beer*

Oh boy, the sequel to the highly anticipated, controversial topic of Israel and Palestine. Seriously though, keep up the good work, because a lot of people avoid this subject quite often. 👍

For the people claiming that this video is biased: 1: this video is not based on a single source. You can check the description 2: Two of the sources are by isreali historians.

You fill the gaps oversimplified leaves for us 😅

The pro Israelis are saying that this is one sided and is pro palestine , most of the sources were from jewish diaries and books , even the oppressors wrote about what happend and you say it is one sided ?

And people wonder why the Palestinians are pissed off. I hate this world.

This doesn’t acknowledge that “Palestinian” included EVERYBODY who lived under the mandate (including Jews) until 1964.

Moral of the story dont leave the brits with important lands.

When doing 1948 history, always go benny morris not illan Pappe. The former is respected universally while the latter is an avowed anti zionist

This whole conflict is basically. "He hit me, so I hit him back" over and over and over. I REALLY hope we can live here like human beings and break the cycle.

And also, thank you for showing your lack of depth, referencing only Ilan Peppe! Was Benni Morris too neutral for you to quote?

UN guy casually ignoring that the lands he gave arabs were cities primarily populated by the arabs "70% of the land", while the areas granted to israel had much higher jewish concentrations of population. Disingenuous to assume "70% of the land should go to the 70% of the citizens", thereby forcing a population swap based off of the numbers, and not where people were actually located in that moment. It wasn't just to "make up for the guilt of the Holocaust". Although that was definitely part of it, that's very simplistic. It had something to also do with actual concentrations of citizens by ethnicity in the British territory in that moment.

Amazing😊

You know your unbiased when ground news sponsors you

ok now we need that live stream nick

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="126">2:06</a> Can you please provide the source to that? googled about Dayr Ayyub and that wasn't mentioned once

I might like you a little more than Oversimplified, especially after your Vietnam video. Theres humor but you also dont take the tone/horrors of war completely out of it for the sake of humor. Not saying one is better than the other, youre both absolutely phenomenal to watch. Just my opinion

another W from Oversimplified's heir

Last time I was this early, it was British

Yes, part 2💪🏼

Great video.

Good video 👍

Fire vid

There’s a bigger war in the comments of this video then in Palestine rn 😂

This is the best thing to watch while playing hoi

I love how Subway is used to represent poison😂

Can you make video on Bangladeshi genocide of 1971 in future Also love your videos

Thank you for your work ❤❤

We’re there actual templars at the siege of jaffa? Since im curious

Please do the Spanish American wars of independence!

The animation is very on point But the video is extremely biased Most of your quotes come from a single book that put the Jews in the worst light possible An historian or someone that what to do an historical recall of events must distance himself from events and present all sides of the stories

Good video. TY.

Good video.

I think it’s fair to describe this series as a “pro Palestinian” or at least “sympathetic Palestinian” sort of revisionist perspective. There’s much to learn here and this is well laid out but this is a very biased one-sided perspective lacking in context or balance. The sources used are extremely biased and entirely from a pro Palestinian perspective. I did enjoy the videos and learned something but also realize this is one-sided and the Jewish perspective is entirely missing from these videoes. I find this channel tends to want to provide the under-dog perspective on history which is helpful but often out of context and overly sympathetic while leaving out the negatives of that side

i like how you said that the un decided on the israel/palestine borders and gave jews more land because of the horrors of ww2, this is not true at the slightest, the un has sent neutral countries to the area for them to hear out both sides and look at their developments (called unscop), when unscop came to the land, the arabs outright refused to speak with them and say their side of the conflict, therefore unscop only heard the side of the jewish people and saw how developed their settlements were, also at the time unscop came to the israeli settlements they saw british soldiers arresting jewish holocaust survivers and felt bad for them. so, with all that in mind, unscop has decided to give the jews more land.

I’m am late to comment but great work on this series and from now on I will do a better job at using your videos as an entry point like you said.

The discord link doesn't work

I’d personally love to see a semi-sequel semi-continuation semi-moreindepthlook of your German Revolution videos looking at the last year or two of the Weimar Republic. More specifically, the period from January 1933-August 1934 where the Weimar Republic still sort of existed and possibly could have been saved, everything after Hitler became chancellor in January 1933 to Summer of 1934 when the last remaining checks collapsed. There's sort of 5 distinct phases to it, the January-March period where everything was more or less the same it had been under prior degree governments(Hitler was chancellor, Hindenburg ruled by decree, same old), the March-July period where the Reichstag fire and Enabling act gutted what little protections existed and democracy ended (March was the communists and vocal extremists, by July even the moderate conservative parties or other right wing nationalist parties were banned), the August 33-January 34 period where the main players were all generally happy with the direction things were going(Von Papen, Hidenburg, Schleicher, and of course Hilter himself), the period from February 1934-June 1934 where Papen and Hindenburg realized things had gotten out of control and started trying to reign him in, and the final two months where the Weimar Republic went from being gutted to completely destroyed. Those final few months were utterly chaotic. It was discovered in May Hindenburg was dying. Von Papen's marburg speech intended to reign in Hitler in June failed and lead to him losing his job. The Night of the Long Knives in July killed most of the remaining dangerous opposition, including Kurt Schleicher one of the few remaining moderates with any influence, and most of Von Papen's staff including his right hand leaving him powerless. It also wiped out the SA, the threat of which had been the main thing the Moderate faction was using to weaken Hilter(talking about the violent street thugs causing trouble to the citizens and scaring the army into thinking they were losing their jobs), now suddenly the people viewed the NSDAP as protecting them from the street violence and the Army was suddenly swinging to their side. Then finally in August Hindenburg(the only person with any power outside of the party at this point and the only guy with enough credit to keep the army on their side) died, the positions of Chancellor and President were merged destroying any hope of ousting Hilter, and Von Papen was exiled to Austria under threat of death. Some say if Hindenburg had lived a little longer and stayed a little sharper, or if the Night of the Long Knives had failed and Röhm was able to cause significant internal issues in the NSDAP, or if Papen hadn't given Goeballs full control of Prussia's police force(thus gutting his own power base and giving the NSDAP full reign over the largest province) they MIGHT just have been able to claw back control. If you really wanted to you could extend it to August 1932-August 1934. (August 1st 1932 was the first date the NSDAP had the majority seats, that's a sort of power even if they were refused chancellor ship. Goring was also made Leader of the Reichstag as a compromise which was one of the highest positions in the government in August 1932), as long as the latter period isn't neglected. Oh and during the January 1933 onward period they actually changed the national flag to the old imperial tricolor one, it was only changed to the infamous red one after Hindenburg died

Me lookin in the comments to see if anyone translated the Spanish: 👁️👁️

Is there a part 3?

I’m going to cook some popcorn over these comments

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1245">20:45</a> they mentioned Bosnia 🎉

Do we get part 3 or is this series done now?

You didn't tell the story from the beginning...

History gives modern ideas and ideals a different light.... It can be either good or bad. Great video Dude 🎉

I got a 5 on AP World. Without inspiring videos like yours, it wouldn't have happened!

Thanks so much for filing in for oversimplified. This is also very educative.

What about subtitles?

next video can you do the philippine American war?

Awesome :D Breakfast will have something interesting to watch Thanks for the vid TICA (and Cam, animator) Funny start btw (have not watched the rest of it))

Historical background: Jews began purchasing land here when this was still the Ottoman Empire. At that time there was no cohesive Palestinian identity, but Arab nationalism began to emerge (as a response to the Young Turk movement), and they did object to the Turkish government about Jewish land purchase. But the government didn’t do much. When the Ottoman Empire broke up, the League of Nations decided what to do with the territory, and in the interim the British were given a mandate for control of the region that is Israel today. When the Mandate ended, the UN proposed to partition the land between the Jews and Arabs who lived here. The Jews agreed, even though the proposal involved a small strip along the coast and a lot of valueless arid desert. The Arabs refused, and launched a war. They lost. Many Palestinians fled or were thrown out, and their land was taken over by the new Jewish state. The Palestinians who remained are Israeli citizens today, they make up one fifth of the population, they had a party in the previous governing coalition, and are better off than any of their fellows in the region. In 1967 Jordan, Egypt and Syria went to war with Israel and after six days of fighting they lost. Israel then eventually made peace with some of them. Each time we made peace with one of the countries from which we took it, we returned the land, or offered to: Egypt took back the Sinai but did not take Gaza, and Jordan did not take the West Bank. There were negotiations with Syria (between Barak and Assad Sr.) and if we had made peace we’d have given back the Golan but the negotiations failed and we are still in a state of war with Syria. The West Bank at that time was full of Palestinians who had fled in 1948 and lived in “refugee camps” which became towns (slums, mostly). Anarchy reigned, there were gangs, and people were afraid to send their kids to school from what I read. Then in 1993 Israel signed the Oslo Accords with the Palestinians, and the West Bank was divided into areas under Palestinian control (A and B) and an area under Israeli control (C), and a Palestinian government authority was established, the Palestinian Authority (PA) with a police. The PA police instituted law and order, and the PA began to build a civil infrastructure, mainly facilitated by Salam Fayyad, a very capable Finance Minister and then Prime Minister. But the PA was corrupt and Fayyad eventually got sick of that and quit. Meantime there was a militant Islamist faction among the Palestinians, Hamas. Israel had established some settlements on the West Bank (and also in Gaza), and after the Israeli PM was murdered and a right wing government came to power the settlements were increased and entrenched, so that today there are nearly half a million Jews living there in Area C. In 2005 PM Ariel Sharon decided to withdraw all Israelis from Gaza, dismantle the settlements, pull out the army, and leave it to be controlled by the Palestinians. He explicitly declared that this was in order to preclude any similar pullout on the West Bank. After the withdrawal there were elections, and people voted for Hamas as the majority party in what was supposed to be a unity government. For various reasons Hamas and the PA couldn’t come to agreement (Israel also had a contribution to that), and in 2007 Hamas seized total power in a coup, and have been ruling with an iron hand ever since, and using all their resources to attack Israel ever since. As a result Gaza is on the border of humanitarian disaster, with 50% unemployment. Hamas is also gaining power on the West Bank, as the PA weakens. Israel keeps tight watch on the borders, but every time the attacks subside, they are loosened. The past few years they have been more open than any time since Hamas took over, with goods flowing through (even dual purpose materials) and thousands of Gazans coming into Israel to work every day. The conception was that Hamas cared about the economy and the welfare of the people and wouldn’t attack. This proved on October 7th to be incorrect.

Finally part 2

Good video

No offense Britain But you really fumbled over this one (And i wouldn’t blame you)

Great channel! Best of luck broo! ❤️

Are we willing to bet that everyone who said „TICA is biased" wouldn't have complained if the video had been pro-Western?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1246">20:46</a> templars? TEMPLARS? I did not see that coming

I Appreciate you. You earned this sub.

Thank you for such great work ! been watching all your videos lately, great work and good luck for the rest !

Part 3 ?

do a video about the Lebanon civil war

YES 😃 PART 2

Is it done? Or will there be a third part?

Israels proposed territory is like 80% desert 20% fertile land

Moral: Never let the british or the un make borders

this is fr about to become your alternative dose of simple history if his upload schedule remains like this

Will there be a part three

What an ending Menachem Begin • Irgun Leader: Led the Irgun, a paramilitary group. • King David Hotel Bombing: Responsible for the bombing that killed 91 people. • Nobel Peace Prize: Despite his violent past, he received the Nobel Peace Prize for signing the peace treaty with Egypt. Yitzhak Shamir • Lehi Leader: Led the Lehi, another paramilitary group. • Attempt to Contact Nazis: The organization controversially tried to contact Nazi Germany for support against the British. • Prime Minister: Later became the seventh Prime Minister of Israel, despite the controversial actions of Lehi.

It was grate thoug good job!❤ I hope ypu know what you did will probebly make a number of people more informed and clear some misconceptions and in doing so there will be more talks abput palestine and so many lives would be better.

You did an amazing job on this one

So, you basically animated Ilan Peppe’s pro Palestinian book

There is only one thing you miss that during nakba there was a truce for a month with a American meditation in this truce no can buy weapons but Israel buy weapons from USA during this truce

We got Oversimplified 2 before GTA 6!

I LOVE THE NEW ART STYLE!!

Just like the first part, its full of inaccuracies, misquotes, and everything possible to push his own bias on this supposedly "educational" video, at the obvious expense of quality and objectiveness. I have been studying this conflict for a while now, including watching some videos about it to compare perspectives from all sides and study and understand how videos push a narrative or a bias, and I usually don't mind. BUT what really infuriates me about this one particularly is that its aimed at people who are just beginning to understand this complex conflict (that usually takes actual effort to understanding it properly without being biased to any side) and preserving it as an educational "Oversimplified" style video, and the people watching this and learning about the conflict for the first time dont know that you are decieving them into a narrative. Your use of outdated philosophies and concepts, that for an unbiased person who knows more than surface level will immediately flag it as a biased video, will fly right over the heads of people newer to this conflict. You are allowed to push your narrative, but to disguise it as education is just evil.

Will you add subtitles?

You should do the 2nd US Iraqi war (2003) it can be covered in like 1 video

bruh you cant say this is not biased when the source is "the ethnic cleansing of palestine"

Totally objective video and totally objective sources

I’m sure that this comment section will be very calm and peaceful

Will there be p3?

You keep calling the Arabs "Palestinians". This is not historically accurate. They didnt take on the mantle of "Palestinians" until their defeat in the 1967 "6-Day War". Before that, they were just "Arabs". Also, the land was never Arabian land. It was Ottoman before the Brits. The Ottomans gave the Jews permission to purchase and move into that land, which was barren and mostly unoccupied. To act like it was "stolen" is an inaccurate retelling.

So all your sources in your description are biased and you just expect us to believe this?

Seeing their prime ministers alnd whapt they did alone should give an idea of how horrible these people are and they have zero right to any grain of dirt in palstine

Well I think partition was done justly as most arable and livable land was given to Palestine and the majority of Israel land along the Egypt border is desert and not many people live there

3 weeks ago israeli forces raided jenin (wich had nothing to do with the war by the way) and they went to the place where my mom works at she was at home thank god because they trashed the place computers chairs tables everything just broken oh yeah and they stole the money that was there *how is this self defence?*

The war that happened between the newly created Israel and all the arab countries israel had less soldiers then them and we didnt get soviet aid we got weapons and planes from czechoslovakia it was part of the eastern block but not the soviet union also the rulling party with the labour party whice is social democrat and in the decleration of independence there is a call for cooperation between jews and Arabs

Thank you for telling the truth. That’s exactly what I’ve read, without all of the remixing by the bad guys.

Jews are the indigenous people of that region- just throwing that out there.

Origins of Russia vs Ukraine next?

Soundtrack im 16min??

This is just propaganda

Part 2 of the Israel/Palestine conflict?! Now that is what I call a great start to my morning!!

Dude you can’t just use one book for your source that is so blatantly one sided. I’m not a Zionist, I’m anti Israel, but it’s not possible to get a realistic image of anything if you only read one book about it from one perspective. That’s just bad history

Can you do the Yom Kippur war in the seven days war next time?

I resent the biased depiction of subway sandwiches

Imagine being prosecuted in Europe for so long that you feel the need to do the same to another group that had absolutely nothing to do with it all.

The start-screen is a bit misleading. It shows "Palestinians" leaving Israel. It does not show the hundreds of thousands of Jews that left Jordan. Jordan which was created, exactly like Isreal, on Palestine. Only that Jordan is a muslim country and Israel is a jewish country. And that Jordan expelled all Jews and Israel asked for all Muslims to stay. I put Palestinians in quotation marks because until 1964 Jews were called Palestinians as well and so were Christians. It was Arafat in 1964 who started the campaign of calling only Muslims in Gaza "Palestinians" to create the impression among people that Israelis or Jews are no Palestinians. The whole name "Palestine" would not exist, were it not for the Jews and their Bar Kochba uprising against the Romans. "Palestine" is literally the replacement term for "Israel". At that time the ancestors of the Gazans were not even in the country. It is a rather cheap trick to say "... (Simplified)" and then publish a biased video.
